Start in Final Cut and end with Adobe Premiere Pro via Automatic Duck Once a Final Cut Pro project is imported via the "Duck" to After Effects, the world of the Adobe Production Suite opens up By David Basulto

A film school grad contacted me recently and told me how he was really getting into compositing and color correction. He really enjoyed Adobe After Effects and edited with Premiere Pro. His dilemma was as a recent grad he really wanted to start making money but all his opportunities were from people who cut their projects in Final Cut Pro. How was he to do his work, including some audio tweaks if he was not an Apple guy?

As you can imagine I was a bit flabbergasted. Could there really be someone on the planet who didn`t know about Automatic Duck's Pro Import AE? When I showed him the wonders of the "Duck" I made this young man's life much happier. Not only could he now import the Final Cut Pro project into After Effects, he could then take that composition into Premiere Pro for audio fixes and rendering to even Blu Ray. 

The following video tutorial details the wonderful magic of using Automatic Duck Pro Import AE (www.automaticduck.com ).


Once a Final Cut Pro project is imported via the "Duck" to Adobe After Effects, the wonderful world of the Adobe Production Suite is yours for the taking. Enjoy.
