AE CCing losing popularity?

i remember where so many users on the net discussed how AE was superior over anything for CCing, but now apps such as vegas and premiere can pretty much do what AE can as far as color, do you see yourself CCIng much these days in AE
 
I edit in PP and then export and CC in AE since AE will let you work in 16Bits/channel and your NLE will only support 8 Bits/channel.
 
THe Dynamic link is for AE CS3 to PPCS3 not the other way around,

there are a few methods,

You Can use AVI but dont to slow out of date try the two below

Method 1: While in AE CS3 File, Import File and select your prem project

Method 2: Just Copy and Paste your clips from Perm to AE

Happy Compositing

I dont know what Phantom is talking about in step 2.

Edit in Premiere, save a Premiere project.
Then, in AE, goto FILE > IMPORT > FILE choose the edited Premiere Project and follow the dialogues to bring it in. DOUBLE-CLICK on the comp in your Project window.
The edited project with all cuts and everything will appear in the timeline.
 
actually phantom's method (no 2)is absolutely great. all you need to do is copy the clip in premiere and then paste it into an open comp in the timeline in ae. it is so simple. try it.
 
I pulled an HD sequence into AE. Man is my system slow. I guess I'll have to pull in each clip individually.
Thanks for all the help.

..if your comfortable doing your grading in AE then i would stick with it, but actually, both AE and PPRO can process at up to 32 bits per channel. in AE its just a matter of switching your color depth using the color depth switch. ..of course the effect you are using must also support the given color depth, or it will just be processed at its maximum supported depth. in AE they are nice enough to list the maximum processing depth next to each effect. in PPRO they do not list the depth for each effect, but many can effects operate in 16 or 32 bpc . of course ALL effects n both programs can be done at 8 bpc. both the fast color corrector, color curves, and the three way color corrector in PPRO are all capeable of 16 bpc, and Im thinking from a vauge memory that the curves and three way color corrector run at 32 bpc. in order to turn on the highest bpc processing, you go into your project settings, and check the box under video rendering options that says "maximum bit depth" if you wanted to know which effects can process at either 16 or 32 bpc in PPRO you can use the effects reference list in the help dialog, and the effect will say (high bit depth) at the beginning of its help instructions/explanations. since alot of the effects between AE and PPRO are the same though, you could generally guess that the depth listed in AE is the same as the depth that will be used in PPRO when maximum bit depth is turned on. anyway .. to save you some time at least now you know that your at least getting 16bpc in PPRO using color curves, or the fast or three way color corrector with maximum bit depth turned on (and possibly even getting 32 bpc), and if 16 bpc is all you need theres no reason to do the work of exporting to AE unless you cant do what you want with the corrector in PPRO.


..and to answer the original question. ..No. I dont do any CC in AE now unless the entire project ..or section of the project is being done in AE. otherwise for normal edits i just do it in PPRO. its just so much faster to work in PPRO, and of course, i do it with maximum bit depth turned on :)
 
I am still using Premiere Pro 2. In PP2 you can export an AEP file from Premiere rather than import a Premiere file from within AE.
