How Do I Import Premiere Layers into After Effects?

Published in Video Editing 2 mins read

You can import Premiere Pro layers into After Effects by using the "Import File" option and then selecting the Premiere Pro project file. This will bring in all the layers, including video clips, audio, and graphics, into After Effects.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open After Effects.
  2. Go to File > Import > File.
  3. Select the Premiere Pro project file (.prproj).
  4. Choose the "Import All" option.

After Effects will create a new composition for each Premiere Pro sequence, and you can then access the individual layers within those compositions.

Here are a few additional tips:

  • Preserve the Premiere Pro timeline: If you want to keep the original timeline structure of your Premiere Pro project, select the "Preserve Timeline" option during the import process.
  • Import specific layers: You can also import specific layers from your Premiere Pro project by selecting the "Import Selected" option.
  • Edit layers in After Effects: Once you have imported the Premiere Pro layers into After Effects, you can edit them as you would any other layer.

By following these steps, you can easily import Premiere Pro layers into After Effects and continue your editing process in a new environment.
