I dont know if this is the right place to post this question, please move it to the right place if I made a mistake, thanks ok here is the question
I use FCP and do mostly 30 sec to 60 sec spots, I almost always use AE for my effects but the question that I want to ask editors here is how do you deal with say a 2 minute promo that has a lot of audio and dialogue and you want to add some effects in AE, I often find myself getting kind of in a mess because I lay everything out with the locked audio that I want and I then take to AE but lets say one transition or one cut is going to be a little longer than your original sequence that you originaly have in fcp so now that its got effects the audio is not gonna match in fcp, I hope you can understand what I am saying, basicaly do you do your visiual and audio version before making the effects or do you find yourself going back and foth with your fcp and AE, I am wondering how you guys work when you have a lot of effects and audio as well and lay everything down before doing anything
 
Hey im not using FCP, but when I cut, I usually do all my visuals first make sure it's pristine and then go in for the audio. While doing the visuals there is audio there, but I almost always go in after and polish it all up.
