@shian Thanks I'll try my best to find my way through all that...Thank you for your knowledge and advices Shian.

@shian yes it should work...but what the cross dissolve??? Do you have any ideas??

@AlexManta as I'm not a PP user its hard for me to suggest a work around. I always export the sound mix to a wav file and bring it in to AE separately. I would export the titles as a 32bit TGA or PNG sequence with an alpha channel, and lay it in over the top in AE.

Then delete (or turn off) the titles and the audio, and save a copy of the project without titles and sound, and see if that imports properly.

@Shian Actually just opening the premiere pro project in after effects gives me errors, it doesn't import titles and it doesn t play the audio mixed either, i m truly sorry to be a beginner at this, but your tutorials make me want to use your workflow...But maybe it seems that after effects doesn t import dissolve or titles or audio mixes from premiere pro..that s what I think i saw on adobe s website...

@AlexManta dude, screen shots. I don't know what your timeline looks like. I'm guessing you likely broke some of the connections by pre-comping, BUT without seeing it, it's hard to tell.

@all @shian ok guys I m getting crazy here, i have been trying to open a premiere pro CS 5.5 sequence of a short that i m working on, in after effects to be able to use ColorGHear...I wanted to open the original sequence from premiere, this way i wouldn t convert and degrade anything and would use the mts files directly...I opened the project everything seemed fine at first...I graded it...rendered to queue; rendered it but now EVERY TRANSITION/DISSOLVE DONE IN PREMIERE PRO, every text, even the sound mix disappeared after render...It s like it just kept the basic cuts...WTF is happening...i lost a whole day of work on that...Can someone please help me???

@stonebat some of it is in the current dynamic range tutorial, the rest will be covered in the Film School series, but in general, the sweet spot is between 0 and 1 stop over. 1 1/3 is pushing it.

@pvjames no need to take me at my word. The proof is in the dynamic range tutorial. Tested. Fact. Very informative. You have 3 stops above 50% and 5 and 1/3 below.

@shian will do..I noticed I forgot to switch to 32bit..this is all still quite new to me far as remembering the workflow.practice!practice!practice!love the tools man.

I really like ColorGHear!following the tutorials are quite easy..Absolutely my type of color grading method..this is a lite grade I did of my son..shot with Orion 4b & Canon FD 50mm 1.4

@islanders66 nice. I love the shot of the model in profile that ended up being the title background for the vid. The colors play really well. I literally thought it was a still taken with a Canon camera, not a still frame from the GH2.

Oh, plus boobies.... I love those.

@pvjames very nice. You are muting the highlights a bit much, which is causing the flat yellow skies and such, but very beautiful. It's hard with the dynamic range of the camera to shoot in available light and capture the full range in nature and still have detail in the shadows. Just remember you have more latitude on the lower end of the exposure scale, but a hard cap on the highlights.
