{Onlining} Premiere to AE (Canon 7D Footage)

Just finished an edit with 7D footage in Premiere and wanted to import that project into After Effects. Only problem is I can't find a way to import it without AE ripping apart the edit. Basically AE converts all my clips to precomps and re-aligns all the footage in those comps to their first frame.

This pretty much hoses my edit. I read through some other posts and figured out that its actually because my project in premiere still needs rendering on all the clips. I changed the project to be full 1080p resolution and relinked the files to the original mov's and also turned off all effects, but the files still need to be rendered. Has anyone found a good solution for this yet? Any recommendations?

Thanks

This is something I haven't tested and it is just off the top of my head, but perhaps creating a new timeline in PPro and nesting the first project into it --- the second timeline should treat the nest as a single clip --- would do it. I don't know if AE can/would parse the second timeline back to it's components, but it would only take a minute to try it.../Battle Vaughan

Well the problem isn't actually importing the project into After Effects. That works just fine. The problem is that when I import it, AE takes each clip that needed to be rendered in premiere and precomposes the shot. Then it takes the footage and slides the inpoint to the very beginning of the clip. So then my entire edit doesn't match right. :(

First, make that new sequence, not timeline, sorry. I think if you nest your existing sequence into a new sequence, it will be treated as one clip and what you are describing shouldn't happen, but give it a try...best wishes!

This is not a complete answer to your question, but I mention it as an alternative in case it is useful to you. I typically output my edit to a single intermediate file, (QT / lossless .avi) then import into AE. I then use the Magnum Edit Detector to break the file into separate layers and do the work I need to.
