working between after effects and premiere

when working between premiere and after effects there are a few simple ways to link the footage that is in both sources, lets say your footage is in premiere, one way of linking it to after effects is by simply draging the sequence file from premiere into after effects then it would link up the two.

another way to link up the two pieces of software is by highlighting the footage then right click on the highlighted clips and then selecting 'replace with after effects composition', merging the footage into one within after effects but it still gets the job done.

These are just two ways of transferring the footage which are very good ways of quickly setting up a link.however it is important to save in both pieces of software at all times because they are sharing data which need to both save on either end.
