ENCORE CS3 46 User Guide • Drag one or more compositions from the After Effects Project panel to the Adobe Premiere Pro or the Encore Project panel. • In Adobe Premiere Pro, choose File > Import. Choose an After Effects project file and click Open, and then choose a composition in the Import Composition dialog box and click OK. • In Adobe Premiere Pro, drag an After Effects project file into the Project panel. If the After Effects project file contains multiple compositions, Adobe Premiere Pro displays the Import Composition dialog box. Note: You can link to a single After Effects composition multiple times in a single Adobe Premiere Pro project. In an Adobe Encore project, however, you can link to an After Effects composition only once. Encore and After Effects: If you are linking to Dynamic Link compositions that were created using Create After Effects Composition from Encore, turn off subpicture highlight layers in After Effects so that you can control their display in Encore. For more information, search for "subpicture" in Adobe Encore DVD Help or Adobe After Effects Help. Dynamically linked After Effects compositions Delete a dynamically linked composition or clip (Production Premium only) You can delete a linked composition from an Encore project if the composition isn't used in the project. You can delete a linked composition from an Adobe Premiere Pro project at any time, even if the composition is used in a project. 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. Edit a dynamically linked composition in After Effects (Production Premium only) Use the Edit Original command in Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to edit a linked After Effects composition. Once After Effects is open, you can make edits 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 edits 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.

Drag one or more compositions from the After Effects Project panel to the Adobe Premiere Pro or the Encore

Project panel.

•

In Adobe Premiere Pro, choose File > Import. Choose an After Effects project file and click Open, and then choose

a composition in the Import Composition dialog box and click OK.

•

In Adobe Premiere Pro, drag an After Effects project file into the Project panel. If the After Effects project file

Encore and After Effects: If you are linking to Dynamic Link compositions that were created using Create After

Effects Composition from Encore, turn off subpicture highlight layers in After Effects so that you can control their

display in Encore. For more information, search for “subpicture” in Adobe Encore DVD Help or Adobe After

Effects Help.

Dynamically linked After Effects compositions

Delete a dynamically linked composition or clip (Production Premium only)

You can delete a linked composition from an Encore project if the composition isn’t used in the project. You can

delete a linked composition from an Adobe Premiere Pro project at any time, even if the composition is used in a

project.

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.

Edit a dynamically linked composition in After Effects (Production Premium only)

Use the Edit Original command in Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to edit a linked After Effects composition. Once

After Effects is open, you can make edits without having to use the Edit Original command again.

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.

Make edits in After Effects, and then switch back to Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to view your changes.

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.
