Copy from After Effects to Adobe Premiere Pro
You can copy a footage layer from an After Effects composition and paste it into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence.
Adobe Premiere Pro converts footage layers to clips in the sequence and copies the source footage to its Project panel.
If the layer contains an effect that is also used by Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro converts the effect and
all of its settings and keyframes.
You can also copy nested compositions, Photoshop layers, solid layers, and audio layers. Adobe Premiere Pro
converts nested compositions to nested sequences, and solid layers to color mattes. You cannot copy text, shape,
camera, light, or adjustment layers to Adobe Premiere Pro.
1
Start Adobe Premiere Pro (you must start Adobe Premiere Pro before you copy the layer in After Effects).
2
Select a layer (or layers) from the After Effects Timeline panel.
Note: If you select multiple layers and the layers don’t overlap in After Effects, they’re placed on the same track in Adobe
Premiere Pro. On the other hand, if the layers overlap in After Effects, the order in which you select them determines the
order of their track placement in Adobe Premiere Pro. Each layer is placed on a separate track, and the last selected layer
appears on Track 1. 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.
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.
