Sharing markers with After Effects, Encore, and Flash

You can share markers between Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore, and Adobe Flash in any of the following ways.

  • When you import an Adobe Premiere Pro project into After Effects, After Effects converts the sequence markers to composition markers.

  • When you copy a sequence from an Adobe Premiere Pro Project panel and paste it into After Effects, the resulting composition keeps the sequence markers as composition markers, and the clip markers as layer markers. The copy-and-paste operation therefore preserves the markers in the way you would expect.

  • When you export a sequence from Adobe Premiere Pro through Adobe Media Encoder into a container format, such as AVI, the sequence markers are saved into the file as XMP temporal metadata. When you use the video file as the source for a layer, After Effects converts these sequence markers to layer markers.

  • When you create an After Effects composition through Dynamic Link in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects does not preserve the sequence markers and clip markers.

  • Encore chapter markers added to a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro will appear as chapter markers in Encore when the host clip is exported from Adobe Premiere Pro using the File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send To Encore command.

  • Sequence markers in clips exported from Adobe Premiere Pro appear as cue points in Adobe Flash projects if they contain text in their Chapter fields. The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.
    Note: You must add text to a chapter marker in Adobe Premiere Pro for that chapter marker to appear as a cue point in Adobe Flash projects.
