Easiest tutorial I’ve seen on this subject. You got straight to the point and demonstrated a simple technique that can be greatly expanded on. Thank you!

[@annoyingkraken]

I told myself I'm done fiddling with these programs for the day, but after watching this now I just have to try it for myself. Thanks!

[@laurentb54]

This helped a lot in understanding the relationship between the two. It also makes after effects seem less intimidating. Thanks :D

[@IzzyBoop]

I've been using AE for like 10+ years, but Premiere for like... 1. This has made my day to day SO much better.

Great video to help break the ice with after effects and get a feel for the basics. Appreciate the video not being rushed and also not dragging on for 10+ mins with excessive rambling. Thanks for the help!

[@wisher77]

Exactly what i needed to know, this would be thre 6th or 7th video ive watched on using these two programs together and this was the first one to make sense Thanks heaps!

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

That's great! Glad to hear you learned a lot from the video.

[@therealshubhank]

Not afraid of using them together any more. Knowledge is actually power. Thank you so much. ♥

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

It truly is!! Thanks for the view and comment! Cheers mate :D

[@commonomics]

Everyone has an Ae or Pr tutorial, but no one mentions where you begin and what order you do things in. This information was really helpful.

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

No problem! Glad I could help fill this gap! :D

[@eski___7435]

This is super helpful! I am learning premiere and after effects on the fly, and this direction has some wonderful tips that i can forsee helping me save time and stay organized. Thanks for the super video!

[@DreamwithEmery]

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I wasn;t sure if I needed to start editing videos in After Effects if I want to use the capabilities but now I know I don't! Sweeeeeet

[@richcorzatt7886]

I'm a beginner and the light just went on! Thanks for this simple and great tutorial!

[@shahzaibzaib7464]

Are y still a bignner I want to know

[@atlasmasarwa]

now it clicked! haha

[@anishamm685]

Many thanks for this easy and clear tutorial. I have a question: What if you took a certain clip in your sequence, did the "replace with after effect comp", added all the animation in after effects, then, you realise that you need to modify this clip in the sequence (you need it shorter or longer or you need to cut 2 sec in the middle. How you redo/handle the After effects composition an animation. Many thanks

[@JohnnyNubs]

Wow about time someone makes it simple! YOU ROCK!

[@ankeshpandey3630]

Thanks a lot man, Easiest tutorial for beginners. Love from INDIA

[@dx7gaming]

Thanks for the simple tutorial. Answered my question I was searching on Google clearly and now I have better way to move forward with our video edits.

[@cookiemonster3583]

i love you my gosh 6 years old and still more helpful than all the videos ive watched today

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

No problem at all, thanks for watching! :D

[@jwest9155]

THANK YOU! I am new to AE but have been using PP for a while now. I could not for the life of me figure out the two were linked together?! I was completely wrong! I was thinking I had to export the AE file as a mogrt file an import it somehow. This saved me so much time and was easy to understand. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

[@jdskin5446]

just finished making my first track! thanks bro for all the help with learning soft soft. much love

[@RichMaciverPhoto]

FML! I feel like I've been re-born into a new world! Thank you, this is SO GOOD! ...who knew I could get so excited about titles ...

[@user-jj4np7ce2h]

Nice job man, seems like soft soft has gotten a lot more complex since the fruity loops days that I rember. Very helpful, thank you.

[@georginiuss]

Right to the point, clear. This is the kind of videos I love. Thank You!!!

[@babypinhead7656]

MOST HELPFUL I’VE RAN INTO !!! I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH !

[@takethefirststepsem]

This video was very very helpful. I was doing thing in AE and then pulling them into Premier. But this is much simpler.

[@kayakermanmike]

Thank you! I've begun to learn AE and have been using Resolve for color and editing, no VFX for a while now. This kind of proves the point that either I need to learn fusion, or switch to Premiere to make animation easier. The Resolve and AE 'solution' is kludgy and works but...

[@ironmike2732]

Awesome tutorial - Simple, straightforward and very helpful!

[@davidcorrales573]

Finally soone who speaks in a calm way and getting to the point asap

[@SLFolks]

Easiest tutorial, that's what i was looking for .. thank you mate

[@toharoha]

Thank you Guys! Awesome Video, that saved me alot of Work and Sweat!

[@digitalmarketingfrontwavec8630]

Great video tutorial. All the comments below are spot on. This helped me streamlined my work project. Thank you!

[@RayOrsini]

Great, simple video. Many of the other tutorial videos use a ton of keyboard shortcuts and talk too fast. This was very easy to follow. Thanks!

[@dreamyvisuals9181]

Thanks a lot. This is what I have been looking. It's difficult to look for hours of footages and edit this in After Effects. So, I will be using Premiere pro for editing and AE for effects and animation.

[@AsepHaerudindedeavez]

Ayyyy Thanks for helping get to know the Software! I just downloaded it in hopes of making resetupes and originals. Props to you for

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

Happy to help!! Thanks for watching!! Cheers :D!!

[@hongphuocnguyenthi6609]

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

Thank you for the comment and the view!! :D

[@sandy-su3vb]

congratulations fam!!!

[@igmantis]

Right click a complete section of the footage with the selected clip(s) covering all the time the edit should take place, then select "replace with after effect composition" from the pop up menu. That's most likely the instruction you are looking for.

[@philmanyeung]

This was incredibly helpful. Amazing video!

[@maximelaurin6370]

Hi Thank you very much ! Small question, what if I am working with proxies and I replace for after effect composition. Will it still come back to the original footage but with the effects when I switch the proxies to originals ?

[@evao]

Finally a complete explanation. 🤓 All my questions answered THANK YOU!

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

Happy to help problem solve with you!! Cheers :D

[@bisimedia]

I don’t have after effect or premier pro. I use my phone to edit. I just wanted to know how you could combine luma fusion with alight motion. This really helped, thanks

[@Snakeytown]

That was very well explained. Thank you for posting that.

[@robinross1831]

Hi, pretty great instructions....but was wondering about some "net steps"....I successfully added an AE scribble effect to one of my clips in PP and it worked great! After another few clips later of my movie I wanted to add another scribble effect, right clicked on the clip, sent it over to AE where it opened up in the composition timeline, but when I tried to draw on it with my pen, all that happens is the pen just moves the entire clip around within the frame. The first imported QT clip is there in AE, along with a composition, and then the new clip portion....no matter what I do, all I can do with the pen is move the video within the frame on this second imported clip. What am I doing wrong? I even tried restarting both programs...discovered you can't delete the imported and altered files (disappeared in PP so I had to recreate). Can you please help?

[@ramymelhem]

I have a 19 second clip that I used in After Effects. I have a ridiculously fast gaming computer, but even then it takes a few minutes (about 3 to 5 minutes) to update in Adobe Premiere. It is a sky replacement roto effect with drone footage. Is this time delay normal?

[@mikez3580]

amazing. quick and easy tutorial. thanks brosef

[@eddentt]

Hey man thanks a lot. I was really overwheld and confused but now it all makes sense. Thank you.

[@ChristWatchman]

dude awesome HOW TO! Question, if I create a sequence in Premiere, then a comp in AE for that sequence, and way later on I decided not to use that comp and delete it, how do I only delete the AE comp without losing the original sequence? Every time I delete the AE comp, I also lose the original footage. How do I keep the orig footage?

[@FUFRENZY]

I have created an After Effects file with all my outros, overlays and whatnot and I just want to keep adding short snippets of every future video I create into it. How would I go about doing that as when you put a Premiere clip into After Effects you always need to create a new one?

[@adrianmarin302]

Awesome, exactly what I needed to know, now I know how to do this! Thank you!

[@AnaCissaPinto]

hi there. please tell people that they have to have the latest afx and premiere ( same year ) otherwise they might not be able to get the assets from premiere to afx. One thing I would like to know if when you are dont with the project, do you have to save both the Premiere and After Effects for this particular job? thanks for clarifying.

[@jamesm7414]

can you just select the hole rough cut and export it all as a single composition?

[@alexandrepasquali9472]

Hi AdobeMasters, one question: how do you manage LUT layer to not impact colors of added animation?

[@heataonme6969]

5 years old and this guy is still a g for giving me this info

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

No problem at all, thanks for watching!

[@kenbarnesfilms8108]

What is the purpose of the 'Edit Original' in the right click drop down? Clicking it on a previous After Effects comp on the Premiere Timeline opens AE, but when I change something and save, the saves don't go back to Premiere. So if you want to change something you did months ago, what's the best workflow? Thanks.

[@MrJeff974]

bro thanks so much, you actually made soft soft easy to understand

[@rhydsnow851]

Fantastic; you've made my and everyone else's hobbies easier with this video. Thanks!!

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

Glad to help! It's really powerful once you get the link going!

[@temiloluwaolawale4766]

You just saved me time... and lots of energy thanks bro

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

No problem! Glad to help. :D

[@kevnaut102]

what should i do in the case of an advanced transition, needing two clips for one effect? idk if i missed something in the video, but i'm having trouble using two clips in after effects.

[@VideoGameKillCounts]

Wow thanks for this awesome video. I have now understood how I can make multiple kill counting numbers by linking after effects, saving me months of title edits for incrementing kill count numbers. Awesome!

[@AdobeMastersOfficial]

Yah, getting a template linked can save you so much time with similar production elements.

[@fhaaj66]

TNice tutorials is really well done Mike, thanks for putting the ti and energy into tNice tutorials.

[@donnshoots]

Great video. Quick question. If I close Premiere and then go back in to make changes later, the dynamic link is broken and the file is lost between the 2 apps. What's the best workflow to over come this?

[@jimfannin6906]

If I'm using Ae templates, how does that translate to this process? Do I just import the Ae template into each composition created via the dynamic link?

[@anderssonjoelmallmasueca44]

I just wanna learn even more now- it looks so cool o.O

[@zsofia_nagy]

SO HELPFUL AND CLEAR. thank you!

[@NEWSRENDEZVOUSTVng]

[@ChoonSae]

Thank you for the great tutorial, I needed this.

[@franklein4839]

Hey thanks for the tutorial, I just have I little doubt, Do I need the two programs opened until I export the final project in Premiere? Just saying because After Effects consumes a large part of the pc's memories...Thought if this wouldn't turn my pc slow keeping two programs running... thanks again!

[@spaceandtrees]

This is really awesome tutorial. Great work man.

[@nerdenater]

Hello, I was finished in after effect but still wanted to change up some things in my video. Do i have to keep after effect open the whole time till i export or can i close it when i am done with after effect but not the video?

Hi! What if I am working on a larger project and can't do all the AE work in one sitting? If i save everything, how can I bring back everything without losing AE work in PP? When I opened PP again it only showed an error message on the selected AE edited sequences.

[@WisdomWithWillie]

This was super helpful!!!

[@MrWumboloni]

It's actually a lot simpler than i thought lol. Thank you for explaining that to me man
