1. Re: Importing and stabilizing footage from Pre Pro CC to AE cc.
Szalam Dec 2, 2014 10:56 AM (in response to MichaelCozzi)You can cut the layer in Premiere and then copy and paste that cut layer into After Effects. Or you can use the Import Premiere Pro Sequence option in AE.
Alternatively, you can apply Warp Stabilizer in Premiere and skip AE entirely.

While Sz is correct, I usually find it best to restrict stabilization to a specific clip instead of relying on Premiere's interactivity with AE.
So.
Yes, trim the small section and make that three minutes a completely separate and self-contained movie.
STabilizing is a complicated art these days because there are so many options. I like Warp Stabilizer but the process may take several attempts for you to get what you want. Stabilized footage requires rotation and horizontal and vertical movement. How well and thoroughly these characteristics are processed are user adjustable although the results are not always predictable. Stabilization will lead to scaling the media to fill the screen and the smoothness of the changes is totally adjustable, too.

I am afraid that I wasn't clear. I was suggesting two options to bring his clip into AE that did not maintain any sort of link or interactivity with Premiere.
Copying and pasting merely brings the clip in question, already trimmed, into an AE composition.
Importing a Premiere project using the Import Premiere Pro option I mentioned, doesn't maintain a Dynamic Link, but merely creates AE compositions containing trimmed clips with one layer per trim.

MichaelCozzi Dec 2, 2014 11:22 AM (in response to Szalam)Thanks so much for your expert advice. I was not aware that premiere Pro had a warped stabilizer contained within. I chose to go with that and it worked like a charm. I will in the future try all the suggestions posted here just to improve my skills. Best regards and may God bless
