To copy from After Effects to Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows only)
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro (you must do this before you copy the layer in After Effects).
2
Select a layer from the After Effects Timeline panel.
3 Choose Edit > Copy.
4
In Adobe Premiere Pro, open a sequence in the Timeline panel.
5 Move the current-time indicator to the desired location, and choose either Edit > Paste or Edit > Paste Insert.
Note:
You can copy multiple layers into Adobe Premiere Pro. Each layer is placed on a separate track. The order in which
Adobe Premiere Pro places the layers depends on the order in which you selected them in After Effects; the last-selected
layer appears on Track 1 of the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence. For example, if you select layers from top to bottom, the
layers appear in the reverse order in Adobe Premiere Pro, with the bottommost layer on Track 1.
Copying from Adobe Premiere Pro to After Effects (Windows only)
You can copy a video or audio asset from an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence and paste it into an After Effects compo-
sition. After Effects converts assets to composition layers and copies the source footage into the After Effects Project
panel. If the asset contains an effect that is also used by After Effects, After Effects converts the effect and all of its
settings and keyframes.
You can copy color mattes, stills, nested sequences, and offline files into After Effects. After Effects converts color
mattes into solid layers and nested sequences into nested compositions. When you copy a Photoshop still into After
Effects, After Effects retains the Photoshop layer information. After Effects converts titles to solid layers.
When you paste an asset into an After Effects composition, keyframes, effects, and other properties contained in a
copied asset are converted as follows:
Time Stretch property Speed property Speed and time stretch have an
inverse relationship. For example,
200% stretch in After Effects
converts to 50% speed in Adobe
Premiere Pro.
Layer-time markers Not converted
Blending modes Not converted
