USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4
Workflows and system setup
Last updated 11/6/2011
You can delete linked clips, which are simply references to the linked composition in the Project panel, from the
timeline of an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence or from an Encore menu or timeline at any time.
❖
In Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore, select the linked composition or clip and press the Delete key.
Modify a dynamically linked composition in After Effects (Production
Premium or Master Collection only)
Use the Edit Original command in Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to modify a linked After Effects composition. Once
After Effects is open, you can make changes without having to use the Edit Original command again.
1
Select the After Effects composition in the Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore Project panel, or choose a linked clip in
the Timeline, and choose Edit > Edit Original.
2
Make changes in After Effects, and then switch back to Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to view your changes.
The changes made in After Effects will appear in Adobe Premiere Pro, but any preview files Adobe Premiere Pro may
have rendered for the clip prior to the changes will be invalidated.
Note: If you change the name of the composition in After Effects after you’ve created a dynamic link to it from Adobe
Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro doesn’t update the linked composition name in the Project panel, but retains the
dynamic link.
Create an After Effects composition from clips in Premiere Pro (Production
Premium or Master Collection only)
You can replace a selection of clips in a sequence in Premiere Pro with an After Effects composition based on those
clips. The composition inherits the sequence settings from Premiere Pro and maintains a dynamic link to After Effects.
You can edit the composition in Premiere Pro or in After Effects.
1
In a sequence, select the clips you want in the composition.
2
Right-click any of the selected clips.
3
Select Replace With After Effects Composition.
More Help topics
Offline compositions and Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master
Collection only)
Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore display dynamically linked compositions as offline in any of the following
circumstances:
•
You’ve renamed, moved, or deleted the After Effects project that contains the composition.
•
You’ve purposely taken the composition offline.
•
You’ve opened the project that contains the composition on a system on which Production Premium or Master
Collection isn’t installed.
•
You’re working with a project trimmed by the Adobe Premiere Pro Project Manager. Project Manager does not
move the After Effects source compositions to the trimmed project folder. You must do this manually.
