USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
Workflows and setup
Linking to and from After Effects
When you dynamically link to an After Effects composition from AdobePremiere Pro or Encore, it appears in the host
application Project panel. You can use the dynamically linked composition as you would any other asset. When you
insert a linked composition into the host application timeline, a linked clip appears in the Timeline panel. A linked clip
is simply a reference to the linked composition in the Project panel. After Effects renders the linked composition on a
frame-by-frame basis during playback in the host application.
There are two restrictions on the use of dynamically linked clips betweenAfter Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Both
of these restrictions also apply in reverse: they remain true if you switch composition and sequence:
• If a sequence contains a composition, do not include that sequence, or any sequence in which the sequence is
nested, in any dynamic link from the project of the included composition.
• If a sequence contains a composition, do not include links from that composition, or any composition nested in
that composition, back to any sequence.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can do any of the following with a dynamically linked After Effectscomposition:
• preview it in the Source Monitor
• set In and Out points for it
• add it to a sequence
• edit it with Adobe Premiere Pro tools
When you add a linked composition that contains both video and audio to a sequence, Adobe Premiere Pro inserts
linked video and audio clips in the timeline. You can unlink the video from the audio to edit the clips separately.
In Encore, you can do any of the following with a dynamically linked After Effects composition:
• create a motion menu with it
• insert it into a timeline
• edit it with Encore tools
You can add a linkedAfter Effects composition that contains both video and audio to an Encore timeline. Encore
inserts separate video and audio clips in the timeline.
You can create After Effectscompositions from Encore menus, even without Dynamic Link.
Linking to and from Encore
From Encore, you can do any of the following with dynamically linked clips:
• edit a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro using the Edit Original command
• edit an After Effects composition using the Edit Original command
• update the markers in Encore to match the Encore chapter markers in a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro
Color and Dynamic Link
After Effects works with the RGB (red, green, blue) color model. AdobePremiere Pro, however, works with the YUV
color model. When you work with a dynamically linked composition, Adobe Premiere Pro either converts it to YUV
or retains the RGB colors, depending on the output format.
Dynamically linked compositions are rendered in the color depth of the After Effects project (8, 16, or 32 bpc,
depending on project settings). Set the After Effects project color depth to 32 bpc if you're working with HDR (high
dynamic range) assets.
