Vegas to after effects work flow?

I'm going to be getting After Effects in the near future and was wondering if any of you are already using it in conjunction with Vegas?

If so, what's your work flow, going to and from After Effects? Frame sequences, uncompressed, DNxHD or something else?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks
 
I actually just shot a video that shows how I do this. It'll be online soon. Basically you save your project as the Avid Legacy .aaf filetype, rather than a typical .veg
This creates an EDL that you can open in AE. The one drawback is that this works with straight cuts only. No effects, transitions, or titles. No event cropping or speed changes. Do all that in AE
 
Just found about this possibility, I was really happy because this could have been very useful, but...it doesn't work anymore in Adobe After effects CS5, right ? :(
 
I just made a video with quite a few AE sequences.
I rendered each section as an uncompressed MOV, played with it in AE, then rendered out uncompressed for import back into Vegas.

It wasn't fun and certainly added time to the editing effort, but I don't think there are other solutions... like I don't think el directors solution above would've worked for me as it wouldn't have clips long enough to add transitions to (or would it?).
 
If you need transitions, just overlap the videos on two tracks. They'll import into AE with the overlap giving you the needed handles for the transition
 
If you're at the end of your cut/edit and you will NOT be changing anything...I save as an .aaf like the above user said, then open in Premiere Pro (trial?) then import that sequence into After Fx for whatever reason.
 
Yes,

Use Debugmode Framserver is best and simple way to import file from Vegas to AE without going to extra step .
