Keying Across #PremierePro and #AfterEffects with @filmriot #shorts

Adobe's Dynamic linking is one of the big selling points for me. The fact that you can jump seamlessly through different software without needing to keep re-exporting assets saves a lot of time. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

Start by right-clicking on your clip in Premiere Pro and select Replace with After Effects Composition. This will open After Effects and prompt you to save the project.
In After Effects, we'll use the Keylight effect for keying. Adjust the settings until you achieve a clean key.
Add in your background by leveraging various color correction and blur effects on both your key and the background to ensure they blend seamlessly.
Finish with some glow above everything to unify the composition visually.
Save your After Effects project. When you return to Premiere Pro, you'll see that the shot has automatically updated with the After Effects composition.

The best part about this dynamic linking is that if you need to make any adjustments, all you have to do is reopen the After Effects project, make your changes, save again, and Premiere Pro will automatically update your clip without the need for repeated exports.
