If you want them to be linked I'd copy= the footage to a new layer and then replace that with the ae comp. this way= the orig edit still exists.

If you just want= to move to ae you can replace in premiere and then undo and you will have t= he timeline in ae. You can also just copy and paste the clips from prem to a= n ae comp and get the timeline as well in one swoop.

Any way you choose none of them should be painstaking.

I'm leaning towards importing the whole chunk of footage= as a single comp, because then all the keying settings and color correct se= tting are in the same place. It's also much faster. Any reason I should go t= he other route? Or gotchas I should look out for?
