Fastest workflow in Adobe AE
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 10:55 pm
Hi guys, I hope my questions won't be dumb, I'm a noobie trying to learn.
I currently edit in FCPX. Shots are from a 7D, converted to HQ Prores 422 with 5DtoRGB.
I'd like to know the fastest way to clean my clips with Neat Video in After effects. I've come to think that there are two ways of doing that:
1-Denoising every clip (in its full length) before editing. Pros: once it's done, I can focus on editing and apply effects in FCPX without worrying about noise getting worse during the process. Cons: I have to denoise full length clips, including some footage I won't end up using, so rendering time will be longer.
2-Edit first and export timeline as comp into After Effects with a small utility I've found (Foolcut AE). Then denoise each subclip in After Effects. Pros: reduced rendering time. Cons: I have to put Neat Video manually on each clip and load the right profile on each of them (I guess there won't be as many noise profiles as the number of subclips since there will be several subclips from the same shots).
Which of these workflows is better according to you? For each of these procedures, do you guys who know After Effects can suggest some way to lighten or automate the process, at least partially? I've only found one this far: there's a way to apply the same effects to a bunch of clips in AE (paste attributes). Would you recommend anything else?
