hi all.
i just got a firewire-card for my comp, so now i can load my material onto it =)
i got somewhat hang of premiere and after effects, and now i wonder if someone could tip me on a good workflow...
do i edit all my videostuff in premiere, and then import it into AE for the titles, effects and so on ?
or do i edit bits and pieces in premiere and then put it together with the other stuff in AE ?
any thoughts ?
cheers!

make an edit, then animate one section at a time and replace the old footage in premiere with yr swanky aftereffects renders.

ive always done everything i can in premier first, then take it to after effects.
it's really personal preference, youll know what you like to do once you do it.

Isn't there a way of exporting the sequence from premiere to after effects and then when finished make it update it self in premiere ?
just working on the cutted piece ?

that would be really nice, puffi!
does anyone know anything about this ?

heh.. i'm on the other spectrum of things..
i haven't touched premiere for anything else besides capture in years.. so long it's not even funny.. i think my last version was 4?
use AE for it all.. you'll be glad you did when you need that extra footage again but.. oops.. you cropped it out of the original in premeire when you first captured it.. get me?

ah, ok.
so you mean its best to use premiere for only capturing the clips you want, and then do all the editing and effects/titles in AE ?
sounds pretty good to me :)

yeah man.. only because i find after effects is a more non-depreciative program.. basically. you can always turn off some effects and see where you are at.. and if you need to .. extend some footage etc.. to have more to work with..

truetrue.
i feel pretty much the same way...feels kinda strange to edit everything in premiere and then add the effects in AE.
what if something looks like shit when some effects been added, you gonna render a whole new clip in premiere then ?
although i´ve read that you shouldnt (?) edit in AE, that premiere should be your first choice when doing the pure editing...but it sounds like bullshit...

well...
it depends on the project:
if you do a 3 minute music video i would pre-edit the project in premiere and import the premiere project file in after effects to do my final colorcorrections and sfx. by importing the premiere project i retain all my cuts that i did in premiere and can treat each cut seperately in afx. if iam done i output and render my final movie in afx.if you have just a bunch of shots for a 10 sec spot you can just slap them together in afx. but afx is a bitch regaring editing, so if you want to shape a video through editing i would suggest premiere or any non-linear editing software (final cut etc..) and use afx for finalizing and visual treatments.

alright, nice description eggo!
so its just as simple as opening your premiere project-file in AE to get the whole edit you did in premiere into AE ?
that would be niice :)
- eggo0
yes
you just import your saved premiere configuration in afx. and afx imports all your moviefiles and cuts you did in premiere.

cool, then I´ll give it a try.
thanks for the tips folks :)
