Share markers with After Effects

Learn how you can share markers between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

You can share markers between Premiere Pro and After Effects in any of the following ways.

• When you import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, After Effects converts the sequence markers to composition markers.
• When you copy a sequence from a 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.
• When you export a sequence from 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.
