I wouldnt say I have a typical workflow, but this recent project worked out this way.
I picked up an offline cut of the show with a hard drive full of footage. I had to do the online and add motion graphics to almost all of the shots. The offline was cut to a recorded VO track, so all the timing was pretty close and set in stone. I would pull the PP sequence into AE to match up several shots, or I would choose "Replace With AE Comp" from the PP timeline. That would create a new comp in the AE project I had open and I could do the tracking and particles or whatever graphics work had to be done. When you go back to PP the clip on the timeline has been replaced with the AE comp, no rendering needed. Playback is not real time (not with an ATI 3870 card anyway) but it is close enough to be useful.
For really gfx heavy comps I would render out a low res PhotoJPEG proxy to put on the PP timeline, then replace that with the native AE comp at render time.
That process has been a real boon for me on this project and one I will use from now on.
Nothing clever or special about it, I didnt discover or invent anything magical here. just the way the clever Adobe engineers have made it work, but hopefully it gives you some idea of how it connects.

I am in the very early stages of moving to PPro (instead of Avid via Duck) for use with AE. What is your typical workflow? Do you have any tips for others who are making the move to PPro?
Yeah, I doing my first project using heavy AE and PPro dynamic linking and I have to say I'm really impressed. Last time I tried DL was in CS3 and it was horrible so I never considered it an option. But in CS6 its pretty bloody faultless. Importing sequences and comps in both directions has saved me tons of time and space over the old worlflow. I really like it.

Nevermind I figured it out (just import the Premiere Project) never done it before seems to work easily enough - back to regularly scheduled program

Subject: [AE] premiere back to AE question
I'm recreating a project finished in Premiere in AE (long story short we are an AVID house and are editing in AVID but the previous editors created transitions in Premiere which can only be recreated in AE) and I am able to import the project into Premiere CS6 even though it is a CC project. How can I export the sequence as an AE comp?
