I am semi- new at premiere (mostly work in after effects) & I am editing a video in premiere and am at a point in the video (music vid) that I want to do a sort of ken burns effect, moving around pictures and then also flashing pictures and I don't know what I should do regarding workflow. ie: Is it ok to just open After effects by itself (not as a direct link to premo) and create the composite ,save it and load it into an already existing premiere project? I thought I read someplace that that was a no no. I don't know. Or do I somehow do it in premiere?

OR Would I just put the pictures into the timeline in premiere, import them into after effects, I was gonna use stagetools moving picture plugin and color correct, save then bring them back into after effects with dynamic link?? is that how you do that?

see the reason I was confused is because I was thinking about how do you bring a blank file/project into after effects. Like in after effects when you create a new -layer its blank , you work on it, and then create a new layer-etc.. I was thinking if there was a way in premiere of creating a blank file, specifying a length, then open that in AE and create, lets say, a 3d animated title sequence, and then importing that into Premiere..<-- is that possible, because as I think about it, I WANT to make a title sequence to begin my video and I dont know what workflow way I should do it? or the way i am SUPPOSED to do it..

sorry for the book.. hope I made sense..any help is appreciated.
 
There are no set rules but the way i do it is creat everything in Aftereffects seperate and then i import the after effects project file into premier pro and it uses that as if it was a video,
 
thanks for chiming in smifis ..

I thought i read somewhere that you shouldnt add an AE project into an already established premiere project..have you done that? Was it all ok in the end?
 
I had no problems but then again, i do rtecomend keeping a few backups just incase it goes haywire. it's happened to me before, it's work the firt 20 billionth time then for some reason it wont work when i try and my computer will just cry.

So keep backups :)
