You can also copy nested compositions, Photoshop layers, solid layers, and audio layers. Adobe Premiere Pro
converts nested compositions to nested sequences, and solid layers to color mattes. You cannot copy shape, camera,
light, or adjustment layers to Adobe Premiere Pro.
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro (you must start Adobe Premiere Pro before you copy the layer in After Effects).
2 Select a layer (or layers) from the After Effects Timeline panel.
Note: If you select multiple layers and the layers don’t overlap in After
Effects, they’re placed on the same track in
Adobe Premiere Pro. On the other hand, if the layers overlap in After Effects, the order in which you select them deter-
mines the order of their track placement in Adobe Premiere Pro. Each layer is placed on a separate track, and the last
selected layer appears on Track 1. For example, if you select layers from top to bottom, the layers appear in the reverse
order in Adobe Premiere Pro, with the bottommost layer on Track 1.
3 Choose Edit > Copy.
4 In Adobe Premiere Pro, open a sequence in the Timeline panel.
5 Move the current-time indicator to the desired location, and choose either Edit > Paste or Edit > Paste Insert.
Results of pasting into Adobe Premiere Pro
When you paste a layer into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence, keyframes, effects, and other properties in the copied
layer are converted as follows:
Copy from Adobe Premiere Pro to After Effects
You can copy a video or audio asset from an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence and paste it into an After Effects compo-
sition. After Effects converts assets to footage layers and copies the source footage into its Project panel. If the asset
contains an effect that is also used by After Effects, After Effects converts the effect and all of its settings and
keyframes.

also exists in Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Premiere Pro lists unsupported

names as those in Adobe Premiere Pro, but
since they’re actually different effects, they
aren’t converted.
