After Effects won't close/Problems with dynamic links

When I quit After Effects the icon still shows up and it says that it is still open, even force quit will not work. Also having problems with dynamically linked files between after effects and Premiere pro. Rendering in Premiere doesn't work unless I go to AE, save the project, then go back to Premiere. I have OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, a late 2012 mac pro, and AE CC 12.2.1.5

Kevin: would appreciate further thoughts on this.
I am using Pr2014, version 8.0.0 I am using AE2014, version 13.0.2.3. When I was on earlier versions of each, I had no problem importing AE comps into Pr. I'd choose import in Pr, then select the AE project, then select the comp. But with my new and improved versions of AE and Pr, I keep getting "importer reported a generic error."
I also tried to go the other way. I selected in Pr the clips I wanted to work on in AE, and then tried "replace with AE comp" but got the "generic error" message again..
Finally, I attempted to create a Dynamic Link from Pr via the File menu, but with each of the options from there, I got "failed to connect to AE Dynamic Link"
Any advice you can share, would be most welcome.

Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5 Lagging Horribly with Dynamic Link

I just bought a brand new computer. It is a beast
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i7-980 6 cores with HT = 12 CPU cores
Nvidia GTX 570HD 1280mb 328 bit
120gb SSD sata 3
600 gb Velociraptor drive 10000rpm
8gb DDR3 1866MHZ ram
So you would think I would get no lag. But for some reason, when I edit in premier pro or after effects, especially when I use dynamic link with premiere and after effects. It lags realllllly badly. I am talking about 5fps and I have to pause and wait like 20 secs then hit play again to get 5 secs of smoothness and then the laggyness returns. I am not even using heavy footage. It is footage off of a Canon 5D Mark II h.264. I tried messing around with all the settings but I cannot get anywhere. Anyone know what the problem might be? I don't have any other programs running since I just installed these. This lag is really holding me back and I cannot edit properly because of it.

Your memory is ill configured, since you are using it in dual channel mode instead of triple channel mode and 8 MB is about bare minimum. You would be better off if you were to increase memory to 24 GB. Secondly, your disk configuration is the absolute minimum requirement, so adding a couple of disks will help performance as well.

Mistake. It is one of the most demanding codecs on the market. Look here: Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
You could try the PPBM5 Benchmark to see how well your setup performs.

After Effects, Track camera unable to obtain dynamic link server connection

This has been hit and miss. I am now consistenly getting a dynamic link server connection trying to use Track camera in After Effects.
64GB RAN
Windows 7 proffesional
i7 processor
NVIDIA GEFORCE TITAN
I have enabled all the recommended programs through my firewall. I see the dynamiclink server is running in my task manager, I have closed all other programs, no antivirus, I have restarted my computer, no luck with this.
Also to add additional information:
It seems that when I try to do replace with After Effects composition in Premiere Pro I am getting error: The importer reported a generic error
and also when I first launch After effects I am getting a failure to load a few plugins from CineForm including importer

Hi guys,
I have the same problem but my system is:
Os X 10.9.5 - Macbook Pro Retina - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
After Effect 13.1.1.3
No antivirus or firewall running.
Any suggestion or the only way is to unistall, run adobe CC cleaner and reinstall? I'm in the middle of a project, quite in a hurry, and I prefer to avoid it if possible.
While I normally don't suggest too many changes in the middle of a project, have you considered updating to the latest version of AE? 13.2 released a couple of days ago. If the update messes you up, you were going to need to uninstall, run the CC Cleaner, and reinstall anyway...

Problem with Dynamic Link

I originally had premiere pro cs4 and later for production premium. When trying to replace with After Effects Comp, I get the error message, "Adobe Dynamic Link requires Production Premium"
I contacted customer service and they pointed me to a thread here that discussed the clean script. So, I uninstalled production premium (I had uninstalled premiere pro before ever installing production premium) and ran the clean scipt database utility. After choosing the language and agreeing to the terms, it says that no entries are found, so nothing happens. Is this a Windows 7 issue? I assume its trying to wipe the registry.
Help would be appreciated. I'm getting a CS5 upgrade soon, but hopefully I can fix this issue before this happens.
Thanks.

When I did it, I did reboot and tried running it again, but I don't think it is doing anything. It says its not finding anything installed when I run the clean script. I'll try again and reboot and repeat 2 more times than last time, but it just takes a long time to reinstall the product.
What do I do if this doesn't work?

Problems with Dynamic Link and Render Farm

We have a 10-node render farm that we use for all of our AE renders, and it works great, so we know the farm isn't the issue. But if we place a Premiere sequence into an AE file and attempt to send the After Effects file to the render farm, we get this error from every node:
"aerender Error: After Effects error: Failed to connect to Adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link."
Does anyone know of a possible workaround for getting an AE file using Dynamic Link to render to a farm? This is a very important workflow for us, and right now we're having to do local renders for any AE file that uses Dynamic Link.

Why not ask such questions in the AE forum? Aside from that, using AE and PPRo DL at the same time can easily exhaust all your system resources and may cause any kind of issues, as effectively only one connection is meant to exist at any given time. So it's definitely in the way you use it, but not necessarily "wrong", just an unfortunate combination that makes things unworkable.

Suid: Problem with dynamic linker

Hi,
i have a multithread program that is compiled with the additional option "-xarch=v8plus". The consequence is, that the following library
/usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus/libCstd_isa.so.1
is linked.
When i set the permission "suid" to the programm and call the program with an other user the library is not linked at all.
Following efforts failed:
- library copied to another directory and compiled with the option "-R" and the same directory
- compiled with the option "-R /usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus/libCstd_isa.so.1"
- use of command "crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -u -s /usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus"
Can anyone help me please?
Has anybody experience with this or similar problem?
Many Thanks in advance
thomas

You have run into a security feature of Solaris.
First let me say that you should never use -R or -L directive that point into system library areas, or into the compiler installation area. It can prevent the right libraries from being linked. Using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or equivalent operations like crle is usually not a good idea, for similar reasons.
Now I'll explain about the libCstd_isa.so.1 library.
A feature of Solaris allows specifying a basic shared library, with automatic overrides by libraries customized for a particular hardware version, or Instruction Set Architecture. We use this feature for the implementation of the string class in libCstd. The string class in this library uses a reference-counted implementation, which requires updating usage counts as an atomic operation in multi-threaded programs.
Prior to the v8plus architecture (UltraSPARC), there was no atomic operation available for such synchronization. The basic version of the library uses a thread mutex, which is expensive. For v8plus and better, we use the CAS instruction for synchronization, avoiding the need for a thread mutex. The v8plus version of the string code is in libCstd_isa.so.1. The basic libCstd.so.1 (filter) library is built to interpose (filtee) library libCstd_isa.so.1 when running on a v8plus system (or better). No program contains a dependency on the ISA library. It is accessed only via the filter/filtee mechanism.
A setuid program is assumed to have security issues -- why else would it need to run as a specific user? For secure programs, the runtime loader ignores preload or filter requests for libraries that are not in the /lib/secure or /usr/lib/secure directories. Otherwise, the author of the secure program could not be sure that the intended versions of libraries were being used.
I can think of only two solutions for you:
1. Find a way to avoid making the program setuid, or
2. Build the program with -xarch=v8 instread of v8plus.

Hello I have a CS5 Master Collection with Dynamic Link problems

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,
Ruben Gimenez.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

Issue with Dynamic Link with Premiere CC and After Effects

I'm having a strange and annoying issue with Dynamic linked clips in Premiere CC:
When I render or export my timeline the progress will stall when it hits a dynamic linked clip. It will stay stalled until I click the After Effects application and make it the active window. Once that happens the render/export resumes at normal speed.
This is annoying as I can't start a render and walk away or work on different windows, I have to babysit all the renders to make sure they go through.
Has anybody experienced this and know of any solutions?
I'm running the latest version of Premiere (7.2.1) and After Effects 12.2.0.52 on Mavericks 10.9.1 with a GTX 770 Video Card.

Does it still pause if AE is closed completely? I often experience slower AME renders from Premiere over dynamic link material when AE is open. Closing AE speeds things up. Go figure.

I use only two channels, have plenty of memory in my hard disk, and external hard drive, no effects, and still having problems with Garage band. Giving messages as you have too many live channels

I'm frustrated, I am doing everything you recommend, I use only two channels, have plenty of memory in my hard disk, and external hard drive, no effects, and still having problems with Garage band. Giving messages as you ave too many live channels, the disk is slow prepare...can you help?

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
i guess you missed that:

ive tryed booting xp in safe mode but it just freezes after it loads up a couple of needed files .
ive even formatted my hard drive and tryed installing a fresh xp on it but it just keeps locking up when it gets to the "starting windows setup" .(this is just after it loads all the drivers from the xp cd)

After Effects won't start Media Encoder

I'm trying to render from After Effects through Adobe Media Encoder, but the link will not work. I tried using Ctrl+Alt+M, and I tried opening it from the drop down menu. AE simply won't work with AME.
It worked before I upgraded to CC 2014, and I can still render out of AME through Premiere CC 2014.

Larchuck on another thread suggested this and it helped me as well. He was using windows 8 and I, 7, but it worked
Get Properties on the AME .exe
Under Compatibily Tab I checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and selected windows 8
Hit apply
AME opens.
I went back to the Compatibilty Tab and unchecked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and I also clicked the button above it (Run compatibility troubleshooter)...went through its process and AME is woking again.
Turning it off again didn't work for me though so I'm leaving it on

After years of never a problem with lightroom, yesterday i started wiith Lightroom 5 and today all of a sudden in development mode everything just stopped working. No matter what I do none of the sliders have any effect on the picture whatsoever.
Please help Duncan

you'll need both serial numbers to install the lr 5 upgrade.
if you purchased and downloaded lr 4 from adobe or registered with adobe, you may be able to find your lr 4 serial number under the account used to make that purchase/registration (not necessarily your current adobe id), Adobe ID

HELP!! AFTER EFFECTS WON'T INSTALL!

I recently bought the CS3 Production Premium Suite. I had the trial version of AE3, now when I try to install the Suite it says "Cannot install After Effects CS3 because it conflicts with After Effects CS3." The other After Effects is already uninstalled, anyone know why it is doing this or how to fix it?

>Can anyone help? Is it anything to do with registry or anything?
Yes and no. Unfortunately ever since AE7 the installer creates an entire spiderweb of logfiles, references and shared components, so removing one will not necessarily fix the other. You could try removing any Registry keys that reference AE7 and delete all the Adobe shared components and the installer may be tricked into launching again, but be aware that this is experimental and at your own risk. You might have a hell of a time. In the grander scheme of things it would be simpler to completely nuke the system and reinstall Windows and all other programs from scratch. BTW, if you hadn't uninstalled so quickly, the problem probably could have been "fixed" by simply deleting the prefs...
