Copying Between After Effects And Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows Only); Copying From After Effects To Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows Only) - Adobe AFTER EFFECTS 7.0 Manual

Copying between After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows only)

You can copy and paste layers and assets between Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro:
•
From After Effects, you can copy footage or solid layers and paste them into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence.
•
From Adobe Premiere Pro, you can copy assets (any item in a track) and paste them into an After Effects compo-
sition.
•
From either After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you can copy and paste footage to the other's Project panel.
Note: You can also paste assets from Adobe Premiere to an After Effects composition. You can't, however, paste footage
from After Effects into an Adobe Premiere sequence.
If you want to work with all clips or a single sequence from an Adobe Premiere Pro project, use the Import command
to import the project into After Effects.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to create dynamic links, without rendering, between new or existing compositions in After
Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Copying from After Effects to Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows only)

You can copy a layer containing footage from an After Effects composition and paste it into an Adobe Premiere Pro
sequence. Adobe Premiere Pro converts footage layers to clips in the sequence and copies the source footage to the
Adobe Premiere Pro Project panel. If the layer contains an effect that is also used by Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe
Premiere Pro converts the effect and all of its settings and keyframes.
You can also copy nested compositions, Photoshop layers, solid layers, and audio layers from After Effects to Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro converts nested compositions to nested sequences, and converts solid layers to
color mattes. You cannot copy text, camera, light, or adjustment layers to Adobe Premiere Pro.
When you paste a layer into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence, keyframes, effects, and other properties contained in
a copied layer are converted as follows:
After Effects item
Transform property values and
keyframes
Effect properties and keyframes
Audio volume property
Stereo Mixer effect
Masks and mattes
Converted to in Adobe Premiere
Pro
Motion or Opacity values and
keyframes
Effect properties and keyframes,
as long as the effect also exists in
Adobe Premiere Pro
Channel Volume filter
Channel Volume filter
Not converted
Notes
The keyframe type—Bezier, Auto
Bezier, Continuous Bezier, or
Hold—is retained.
Adobe Premiere Pro lists unsup-
ported effects in the Effect
Controls panel as offline.
