Integrating between Adobe Pr and AE

I've recently moved to Premiere, I've got used to it pretty quickly, but when it comes to integrating between Premiere and AE. I'm lost.

What I've been trying to do is timing the clips in Premiere (without even adding transitions or even any effect at all (including timeremaping), then Importing the whole thing to AE to finish it there.

It worked great in my head. not too great in practice.

so... I'm pretty lost.

Help?

are you talking about importing premiere project files?
or are you after a user guide for AE?

There is usually a little bit in the AE help files about importing premiere projects which you should read because depending on what versions your using the transition between the two can have limitations.

Be a bit more specific because all i can get is that your a bit lost on something that should be as simple as import>file

No, what I'm talking about is the general workflow between them.

Premiere is designed for editing as most traditional edition software and is weaker on visual effects and layering

After effects is best described as Photoshop for video instead of images. It pretty much works in the same logic and enables you to create quite sophisticated visuals and compositions as it’s bases is the use of layers. You can edit with it, but it's not really ment for that.

In the end, the idea is like all of Adobe products is to spend a lot of money and buy them all so you can do everything you want... go figure...
