4 Drag the Silk preset to the Lower Third bg layer. Do a RAM preview to see
this effect.
5 Without saving the After Effects project, switch back to Adobe Premiere Pro.
6 Play the sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro. Without saving the After Effects
project, the changes you made in Adobe After Effects are already updated in
Adobe Premiere Pro. That’s why they call it Dynamic Link!

ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS5 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK
349 Replacing a clip with an After Effects composition There are times when you’re editing an Adobe Premiere Pro project and you want
to apply some special effects that are available in After Effects. You could create a
new After Effects composition and import it into Adobe Premiere Pro with Adobe
Dynamic link, but there is an even faster way to do it. You can convert a clip or
clips on an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence to an Adobe After Effects composition
right from the Timeline. Let’s give it a try:
1 Open Lesson 19-3.prproj. This project already has the After Effects title
sequence linked via Dynamic Link in the Video 2 track.
You want to apply a special effect to the Behind_The_Scenes_SD.avi clip to
make it look like bad TV reception. After Effects has this effect as a preset.
2 Right-click the Behind_The_Scenes_SD.avi clip in the Practice sequence, and
choose Replace With After Effects Composition.

Using Photoshop and After Effects to Enhance Your Video Projects
3 You will be prompted to name the new After Effects project. Name it writers
bad tv.aep in the Lesson 19 folder, and click Save.
4 Locate the Bad TV 2 – old effect in *Animation Presets > Image – Special
Effects, and drag it to the Behind_the_Scenes_SD.avi clip.
Without saving the After Effects composition, switch back to Adobe Premiere
Pro, and notice the Bad TV 2 effect is applied to the writers clip. You may need
to render the sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro to see it play back smoothly.
This is a fast way to apply special Adobe After Effects effects to a clip in Adobe
Premiere Pro.
