Exporting Premiere Pro to After Effects - WRONG in/out points!

[Namie]

I edited my project using Premiere CS3 and did all my cuts, but when I load the Premiere Project in After Effects, the in/out points are all wrong! How can I fix this?

Last time I did this I loaded the Premiere project then invoked After Effects from the selected clip.

I don't have After Effects here to test currently.

Might be a bug with CS3. Try nesting your sequence in another sequence in PP, save it, then open that in AE

If you can't get it working, another option is to export a lossless intermediate from PP to import into AE

invoke? Is that an option?

That didn't seem to work. Is there a way to combine the cut clips as one whole clip in Premiere? I thought it was "Group" but that didn't seem to do it.


What is a good lossless codec? I usually export using Adobe Media Encoder.


I also thought Adobe advertised as being able to copy/paste clips between Premiere to After Effects, but that's not working for me either!

Everything seems OK for me in CS4 , but I never used CS3 so I cannot comment if that's why it's not working for you

You could use uncompressed, or lagarith, or ut video codec, or animation codec in mov, for examples of lossless formats. If you have alpha channel, I would use animation codec in mov, which agrees with AE nicely
