Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Flash
Adobe Premiere Pro is a professional tool for editing video. If you use Adobe Flash Professional to design interactive content for websites or
mobile devices, you can use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the movies for those projects. Adobe Premiere Pro gives you professional tools for frame-
accurate video editing, including tools for optimizing video files for playback on computer screens and mobile devices.
Adobe Flash Professional is a tool for incorporating video footage into presentations for the web and mobile devices. Adobe Flash offers
technological and creative benefits that let you fuse video with data, graphics, sound, and interactive control. The FLV and F4V formats let you put
video on a web page in a format that almost anyone can view.
You can export FLV and F4V files from Adobe Premiere Pro. You can embed those files into interactive websites or applications for mobile devices
with Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash can import sequence markers you add in an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence as cue points. You can use these cue
points to trigger events in SWF files on playback.
If you export video files in other standard formats, Adobe Flash can encode your videos within rich media applications. Adobe Flash uses the latest
compression technologies to deliver the greatest quality possible at small file sizes.
Moving assets between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Flash
In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can add Flash cue point markers to a timeline. Flash cue point markers serve as cue points in a rich media
application. There are two types of cue point markers: event and navigational cue point markers. You can use navigational cue point markers to
navigate to different sections of FLV and F4V files, and to trigger the display of onscreen texts. You can use event cue point markers for triggering
action scripts at specified times in FLV and F4V files.
You can export a movie from Adobe Premiere Pro directly into the FLV and F4V formats. You can choose from severalExport Settings presets.
These presets balance file size against audio and video quality to achieve the bit rate needed for any target audience or device. If you export the
movie with an alpha channel, you can use the movie easily used as a layer in a rich media project.
You can import the FLV or F4V file into Adobe Flash. Flash reads sequence markers as navigational or event cue points. In Flash, you can also
customize the interface that surrounds your video.
Alternatively, you can use Flash to create animations for use in movies. You can create an animation in Flash. You can export the animation as an
FLV or F4V file. Then, you can import the FLV or F4V file into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. In Adobe Premiere Pro, for example, you could add
titles or mix the animation with other video sources.
Working with Flash and After Effects
If you use Adobe® Flash® to create video or animation, you can use After Effects to edit and refine the video. For example, from Flash you can
export animations and applications as QuickTime movies or Flash Video (FLV) files. You can then use After Effects to edit and refine the video.
If you use After Effects to edit and composite video, you can then use Flash to publish that video. You can also export an After Effects composition
as XFL content for further editing in Flash.
Flash and After Effects use separate terms for some concepts that they share in common, including the following:
A composition in After Effects is like a movie clip in Flash Professional.
The composition frame in the Composition panel is like the Stage in Flash Professional.
The Project panel in After Effects is like the Library panel in Flash Professional.
Project files in After Effects are like FLA files in Flash Professional.
You render and export a movie from After Effects; you publish a SWF file from Flash Professional.
