Official Work in Progress Thread
Post stuff you're working on, whether it be a montage, some graphic design, or anything else digital media related!
Productive criticism is also welcome!
Can someone check if Fragtality's HD Quality Tutorial 2.0 is all this relevant? (its on the old forums stickied in Creators Platform). If someone would make an article and thread for it and expand on it a bit that'd be sweet.
Crest on using AE and Premiere Pro together:
You run both at the same time typically. AE's "server" effectively runs as a service along side Premiere Pro. You can import AE project compositions and treat them as video. They behave in real time on your timeline.
A regular workflow would you edit your video to roughly how you want. Rough cut.
Then you could go in and replace certain sets of clips with compositions. Right click>replace with composition. There are other ways of doing this, you could start in after effects and just bring it back in to premiere if you wished.. But this is an easy way to get started. You can then consolidate separate projects into a single AE project and have it refer back. It's hard to explain simply, but it's much easier than you think.
Since AE runs anyways in the background, you can open after effects and edit the file in real time and it updates in premiere pro. No need to even save the file, just minimize AE and premiere pro recognizes the change. It's very nice. When I was editing a film earlier in the fall, doing lens dirt removal and removing logos was nice since I could watch the change just by switching back to premiere pro on another monitor.
Nothing even has to be rendered.
Edit: Also most people don't know that vegas does precomping. it's very nice for segmented projects. I do it for some of my very long reviews. I will edit a chapter of the review, consider it finished, save that. Then drag the .veg into a new project. This way I can't screw up other parts of my long 25-50minute project.
This shit will be out on 2/16
I shit you fucking not man I was just watching your halo 2 montage and I came into this thread pondering to myself '' I hope he makes another H2 vid, fk this montage is still my #1 fav to date but I doubt this kid even plays anymore. ''
And here you are posting screenshots for a video that will be released on the 16th.
Mindfuck.

Haha, well appreciated man. Believe me, I didn't ever think this would happen again either. Still seems super weird.
