Animation not showing in Premiere 1

[MamuNestor]

I rendered and exported an animation from After Effects 7.0 as an avi, when I brought it in to premiere 1.5 it did not show anything except black frames. I had bring it into premiere 2.0 and re-render it as an avi again before Premiere 1.5 could play it. I am using several different systems on this project so more than one person can do the work. What causes this problem? Can I export directly from After effects 7.0 and have preimere 1.5 read it? If so what settings do I have to change to make sure that it happens.

Depending on what you want to do, you can either export from AE as PAL/NTSC DV using the same parameters as your Premiere project, or use the Animation CODEC with millions+ colours if you want to preserve an alpha channel.

I use Premiere Pro 1.5 and AE6.5, but my understanding is that you can swap at project-file level between AE7 and PPro2 without having to generate an intermediate AVI. If I remember correctly, you can just cut and paste between them, but please check either the documentation or with someone who uses that combination.

I havenn't had much luck getting the bridge to do what I want. It is very awkward for me to have the same thing come out of premiere as it is suposed to out of AE. Since I exported it as an AVI I thought that it Premiere would read any avi the same, but there must have been something in the render settings that I missed.

Other cases I have come across where AE output needed to be re-rendered by Premiere have almost always been fixed by tweaking the AE output parameters.

It might be helpful to look at what AE reports for a camera clip from the Premiere timeline and see if you can spot differences from your AE output settings.
