We are presented with the Start screen, which gives us the option to create a new project or open an existing project, among other things. We will open this project, link the remaining compositions that we have created, and make some adjustments to these compositions.Īdobe Premiere Pro opens. Today, we have a Premiere project already created with some video and audio imported, and a few of our After Effects compositions already linked. We can also open entire Premiere sequences as After Effects compositions, and add effects and animations there. This ensures that our compositions will be the correct size, framerate, and length for our video project. We can create After Effects compositions from the Premiere project panel, and After Effects will open automatically. We could even import an entire After Effects project into Premiere Pro, but this generally isn't the most efficient option.Ī common workflow is to edit your video in Premiere, and then create the After Effects compositions needed. There are several ways to activate Adobe Dynamic Link from within any of the Creative Cloud applications. This is a major advantage of working with Adobe Creative Cloud, and the transitions between programs are very smooth. Luckily for us, we can easily import After Effects Compositions into Premiere (and import Premiere sequences into After Effects) using Adobe Dynamic Link.Īdobe Dynamic Link allows us to add completed After Effects compositions to Premiere and keep an active link so that we can return to After Effects, make changes, and have those changes reflected when we save and return to Premiere Pro. However, After Effects is really not designed to line up compositions the way a program like Adobe Premiere Pro can.

We just need to combine them into a single composition. At this point, we are mostly done with the compositions that will make up our trailer.
