Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only)

i have adobe creative suite master collection cs5... i'm currently editing my project in advertising in premiere pro and tried to replace my clip with an AE, then this window appeared saying "adobe dynamic link needs production premium." but your post says that it works on master collection too. can you tell me a fix that does not require uninstalling or deactivating coz i need to finish my project by tom and my time is running out thanks

If you're under time constraints, just render the clip out of AE and import it into Premiere. You can worry about getting Dynamic Link straightened out later.
If you're unwilling to do a total uninstall, run the Adobe Cleaner application and then reinstall, you really have very little choice in the matter. Get busy.

Unstable After Effects CC with dynamic link

Hi all,
I just bought a new iMac for editing etc. (Before the iMac I used my MacBook Pro). Everything works just fine but there is one issue with After Effects CC.
When I have Premiere Pro CC open in the background and there is a dynamic link sequence in AE. My iMac is taking a long time to load video previews when scrolling through the timeline. Also the RAM Preview will hang after a couple of seconds for 5-10 seconds and than continues. I also noticed that MB Looks will take a long time to load too.
So is there a conflict between the two applications or is it because of the sharing RAM or graphics card memory? What are the best settings for the Adobe applications for using RAM and graphics?
System specs:
iMac 3,5 GHz i7 (Late 2013)
32 GB RAM
256 GB flash storage
NVIDIA GTX 780M 4 GB
Kind regards,
Teun

With the new 12.2 update installed there is no difference. Still very slow playback from PP footage in AE. It takes a long time to load the preview when scrolling through the timeline in AE. I noticed that when I close PP the lag is gone, or when I switch from AE to PPro and back. But then after a few seconds the lag is back when PP is active in the background.
Any ideas?

Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

Hi all,
I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
Never had this problem in CS6.
Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
Here are my specs:
I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

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.

Premiere Pro - replace After Effects composition with original footage?

I have a Premiere Pro project where I have replaced some clips with linked After Effects compositions (= doing the grading and stabilization in AE).
Is there a way of undoing this and easily reverting to the original clips in the place of the linked compositions? I'm thinking of a command that would simply restore the original clips.
Thanks!

No such animal, I'm afraid, though it would be nice. You have a couple options:
Always, always, always be sure to duplicate your sequence and stash it away somewhere in your project before doing the Replace. That way you have something to go back to if you need it. Always.
Immediately after initiating a Replace (and letting the comp be created in AE with all footage imported), Edit > Undo (Ctrl+Z) the action in Premiere. This will undo the Replace and remove the comp from Premiere, BUT the comp will still be created and all footage placed in it in After Effects. After you do your work in AE, just drag the AE comp into Premiere, and plop it on a track above your original edit. That way, you can easily tweak the original edit in Premiere, and then copy and paste stuff back in AE to your DL'ed comp, if you need to.
This will have varying degrees of success, but may be your only salvage if it's too late for the first two: you can copy and paste your footage items from your AE comp into a new Premiere Pro sequence, or you can use File > Export > Premiere Pro Project from AE, and then import that into Premiere. Either way, it's going to be a little ugly due to the way that AE and Premiere work differently with their respective timelines (layers vs. tracks), but it can save your bacon when you need it. I've actually used this method to recover hopelessly busted Premiere Pro projects, as well; it takes some rebuilding, but at least you don't lose everything.

Get twitter feeds directly in After Effects compositions with Google Sheets

Hey All,
I'm posting a follow up to a thread I started a while ago on this forum about seeking beta testers for a new plugin I started to develop, called Templater, for producing dynamic renders out of After Effects. I want to thank all the beta testers out there who helped this product get some real legs. We are very close to release and launch, and I am extremely grateful for all the AE users who have offered encouragement for the further development of this tool.
In light of that, I want to point the community to some screencasts I put together that demonstrates the real power of Templater: inserting third-party API data into Google Sheets documents and feeding that directly into your AE project compositions. For example, you can get Twitter data into the Google Sheet, then use that in your AE project. You can also use Google Sheets' translation feature to easily localize text appearing in your compositions--even if those comps make use of super-awesome plugins like Element3D.
I've embedded those two screencasts here, but you can checkout DataClay's YouTube channel to learn more.
Thanks for your time watching these!

Premiere links to After Effects composition broken after software update

I have a PP project with a dynamic link to a comp in an AE project. After updating to the latest version of Creative Cloud, I open the Premiere Pro project file. It says I must update/convert the file to be compatible with the new CC. I do so. However, when opening the file, the dynamic links point to the AE project (which also needs to be updated/converted and given a new file name). After converting the AE project, I need PP to link TO the newly converted AE project, but can't seem to figure out how to do this.
I have several comps in the AE file and it would be quite troublesome to have to re-import (re-link) all the comps and place them in the appropriate timeline sequences in Premiere.
PS. This isn't the first time this has happened. But a year ago or so when updating the Adobe suite, I had a similar thing happen.
Trevor F. Ward

I'm using DSLR footage and am not running into this issue. However, another workaround you could do is, copy the trimmed/subcliped clip and paste it into AE. To get a sequence in AE to conform to the durration of the copied clip, use otp+command+v. I use this in replace of dynamic link, and works quite well. Hope that helps.

Premiere pro cs5 Adobe After effects cs 5 Dynamic link issue

Hi i have a project in premiere all on the time line cut into different snips of footage the videofiles are avi ... i want to take i snip of footage into after effects to make some edits and effects on it i have tried the following

Hab mir mal heute die ganze Master Collection runtergeladen.
Alle Programme gehen, bloß die Beiden (Premiere und After Effects) gehen nicht, siehe oben....
Was mich aber wundert, habe noch das alte Programm Premiere CS 3 gefunden, und mal installiert. Das geht ohne Probleme, mag sein das dies andere anforderungen hat, aber ein Q9550 sollte doch reichen.
Befehlssätze und Features:
Q9550: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
I7 920: Hyper-Threading, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
I7-2600k: Hyper-Threading, VT-x, AES-NI, Intel 64, Idle States, EIST, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Intel Fast Memory Access, Intel Flex Memory Access, XD bit
Aber ob es wirklich daran liegen kann?
Das neue System wird zwar eine I7-2600k als CPU haben, aber leider gibt es kaum eine CS4 Software von Adobe mehr.

Encoding and compression in After Effects (Problems with some colors and some effects))

Hello dear friends,
I would like to export an openning title video for a movie, which is about 2,45 seconds long and 22 GB (Uncompressed)
The footage is 1920X1080.
There are a lot of effects, such as, alpha chanel clips of smoke, explossions and stuff like this.
When I export it into H264, or Mpeg2,4 or avi or H264(blu ray), I get a bad quality encoding in some parts:
I get bad quality in the glow effect I have attached to the titles.
I get bad quality in the clips of smoke (bad color) (tha alpha chanel of the smoke)
Would you hapen to know why only in some parts I get bad quality and not not in the whole footage?
Is it maybe because I chose to export the project only in RGB and not in RGB+Alpha, since my project contains alpha chanel data?
Even if I export the project using Quicktime Animation codec (which is lossless), I get this bad quality (a little better than the previous encodings of course).
I only get a nice encoding when I export the project with Zero compression, but 22GB for a 2 and a half minute clip, is too much...
If somebody has any suggestions, I would be interested....
Thank you!!
Giannis - Greece.

Hello,
I usally export the project totally uncompressed and then I do the final encoding-compression in Adobe Media Encoder but the problem remains.
I have every preferance to "Best" and "High".
Yes, I get artifacts...
About the Gamma problems, where can I select a color profile? In Adbe Media Encoder?
Thank you!

After Effects Compositions Duplicating over other comps in Adobe Premiere.

Hi all,
My issue revolves around Adobe Premiere and After Effects, in particular the feature in Premiere which gives you the option to 'Replace with After Effects Composition'.
I had severail clips I wanted to do some frame painting on in my timeline, so I started with the first, used after effects, all was fine. Did the same on the second one, again, all fine, then on the third one it all went a bit wrong. After completing my frame painting on after effects, I clicked save and then closed the composition. Upon returning to Adobe Premiere and viewing my timeline the clip I had just edited was as expected, but the previous one was now a dublicate of the one I had just edited. From this point forward no matter what I did every time I tried to alter a clip in after effects it just duplicated over the other clips.
Painting frames at the best of times makes me lose the will to live, but this glitch has made it almost impossible for me to work.
Other details, I save each After Effects composition with a different file name in a different folder. I tried all sorts of different ways around it but nothing.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue, or know where I could find out. It's incredibly frustrating when you spend 10 minutes painting out dust off a video to then realise the one you did before is now overwritten on the premiere timeline.
I need help!
Louis

Before you go back and re-do your tedious retouch...
you can try opening Pr, making your Ae comps offline, exit Pr.
Go to your 'Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files' folder, delete all.
Open Pr, relink your comps.
I've never really tried to send a series of clips to AE and edit them all as one composition, I'll give that a try.
note:
Along with sending multiple clips via DL to Ae for touchup in one comp,
When I use 'Replace with Ae Comp' in the Timeline, I will save
the newly created Ae comp, exit Ae, return to Premiere and hit 'Undo'.
This will restore the original clips to the Timeline for future reference.
Then I will use File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import Ae Composition to
bring the new comp into Premiere, add a new layer to the Timeline
and drop in the comp (or replace the clips in a duplicate Sequence).

I can't import After effects composition into sequence timeline

Hello everyone
I am using CS5.5 Master Collection and I have Premiere sequence which I have imported into After Effects via Dynamic Link; I have added some effects etc... Now I am trying to pull the sequence back into Premiere which I have done via Dynamic Link (import after effects composition), which imports the composition fine, however it wont allow me to add the composition to the timeline. It will however play the composition in the source window.
Has anyone else come accross this and how do I fix it?
I have tried looking on youtube and I can see it working for others and no one specifically shows or does anything different to what I am doing.. Please help me.
Kind regards,
Milan

I see what you are saying. I tested that scenario, and you are correct, it doesn't let you:
- create a premiere pro sequence
- open after effects
- import that premiere pro sequence
- make changes to that sequence in after effects
- open premiere
- import that after effects sequence
which is essense, would be a link back around back to a premiere pro sequence, so it's been dynamically linked twice.
It would be interesting if it did allow it, you could do some weird looping stuff, or probably blow up the software .
Remember, whatever you send over to AE in this method is "replaced with after effects composition", you aren't going to be able to "edit" it back in Premiere. You replaced that edit with an AE composition. You have to work with that in mind.
The main thing about dynamic link is it elimates exporting & importing to get to another program, by just using the project file itself instead as a clip.
Hope that clarifies things a bit for you,

After Effects problem with clone stamp tool

Hi,
I've been using clone stamp tool in Photoshop for years and has no problem with it. But somehow I could never get it work on After Effects. After alt+click to select source I can then click (and hold left mouse button), rub and change the target area as expected but as soon as I let go the mouse button the target area reverts back to original.
What did I do wrong?
thanks.

First question that I have for you is did you look in the help files?. Simply type clone stamp in the search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the application frame it you will find all kinds of information. There are a few good tutorials linked directly from the help file. After Effects Help | Paint tools: Brush, Clone Stamp, and Eraser
Because After Effects works with video you have to make sure you have the correct options for your clone stamp or your paint tool selected and you are working in the correct window. It is not so much that the clone stamp is not working, it is just that you probably do not have it set up correctly.

Dynamic Link/ Replace with After Effects Composition between Premiere Pro CC to After Effects CC won't work. Says "importer reported a generic error"

Trying to use the "Replace with After Effects Composition" to use Warp Stabilizer on a clip and transfer it back into Premiere Pro CC. The action is not "grayed out" it allows me to click it and it opens up After Effects, then asks to open a new composition, but it doesn't open up the clip for me to work on it.
Also is the Dynamic Link and Replace with After Effects Composition the same thing?
Ive watched several tutorials and read threads but I still don't understand who to fix my problem.
I have both CC versions of PP and AE, if that makes any difference.

You have not provided any system information, no details about your sequence settings, your footage and whatnot. Nobody can even guess what may be going on.

Version update and now "replace with after effects composition" is greyed out.

Hi, I've been working on a project for a while now (using Premiere Pro cc and After Effects cc).
Then CC 2014 came out. I installed those new Versions. To make sure that everything still works I've continued working with cc versions. Now if I want to "Replace with After Effects Composition" (in the premiere pro project opend in Version cc) it doesn't work since it's greyed out.
Can somebody help me?

Ok guys...I got it...
Its not a *mov that it missplaced, its another dynamic link to AE...so dynamic link to dynamic link seems not to work? I accidently linked that clip and worked on it in AE in the old aep from yesterday..but still wondern why AE get confused loading it...the "old aep comp" is full with others comp...could that be the reason...?
