To link to an existing composition with Adobe Dynamic Link (Adobe Production Studio
only)
For best results, composition settings (such as dimensions, pixel aspect ratio, frame rate, and audio sample rate)
should match those used in the Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Encore DVD project.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
In Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Encore DVD, choose File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects
Composition. Choose an After Effects project file (.aep), and then choose one or more compositions.
•
Drag one or more compositions from the After Effects Project panel to the Adobe Premiere Pro or the Adobe
Encore DVD Project panel.
•
In Adobe Premiere Pro, choose File > Import. Choose an After Effects project file and click Open, and then choose
a composition in the Import Composition dialog box and click OK.
•
In Adobe Premiere Pro, drag an After Effects project file into the Project panel. If the After Effects project file
contains multiple compositions, Adobe Premiere Pro displays the Import Composition dialog box.
Note: You can link to a single After Effects composition multiple times in a single Adobe Premiere Pro project. In an
Adobe Encore DVD project, however, you can link to an After Effects composition only once.
Adobe Encore DVD and After Effects: If you are linking to DVD menus or buttons, turn off subpicture highlight
layers in After Effects so that you can control their display in Adobe Encore DVD. For more information, search for
"subpicture" in Adobe Encore DVD Help or Adobe After Effects Help.
