3d camera tracking and Warp Stabilser VFX Dynamic link problem

A solution here. My 3d camera Tracking and Warp Stabiliser VFX were not linking with Dynamic link and I was getting UNABLE TO OBTAIN DYNAMIC LINK PROJECT.
After a long time with adobe it came down to one old .jsx java script loaded in AE to load a default project template. So just check your imported scripts. This worked on 3 versions of AE on 2 different machines. Hope that helps

Thanks for sharing what worked for you. That's really interesting. I wonder how many of these kinds of errors could have been solved with that. I'll definitely try to remember this one for future forum posters.

Difference between CS6 After Effects camera tracker and CAMERATRACKER plugin from the Foundry

Can anyone who has worked on or viewed scenes using these tools, compare the differences or similarities? The one included in AE CS6 looks pretty good, expecially with ray tracing. Is it necessary to buy the plug-in at this point?
Thx in advance.

There are a bunch of camera trackers out there. AE's is amazingly easy to use for the right kind of shots but be warned, there are some shots that cannot be tracked by anything. I've done lots of camera tracking with all kinds of apps and sometimes, the only thing you can do is re-shoot. Don't expect miracles from any camera tracker or any stabilizer. They all have their limits.
The key to success is an understanding of the limitations of the software, careful planning of the shot, and then careful execution of the shot. Only then will you get the predictable results. The biggest problem with AE's camera tracker and Warp Stabilizer is that they work without any knowledge or understanding for many shots so users tend to expect success on every shot.

3D Camera Tracker and Effects

Hello Everyone.
I have noticed when using Tracking with 3D Camera Tracker, and having effects, It dose not work well. So what we have to do when using Camera Tracker and Effects ? Maybe using a Precomp and apply Effects, and Track ?
Also, I used The Foundry Camera Tracker many times, and I noticed the After Effects 3D Camera Tracker did a better job.
Off course, I am very new to Tracking.
Thank you very much.

The proper workflow for most tracking is to track the original shot then use the tracking information to control something else. In the case of 3D camera tracking you apply the data to a camera and position a reference layer in the scene.
In some cases, where there is a lack of detail or the tracked object can be better defined by the addition of things like Color Correction effects you would apply the effect, pre-compose or pre-render to a lossless DI and then track the modified shot. Generally you would not use this modified shot in your production, you just want the tracking data.
On rare occasions there are compression artifacts or Intra Frame compression problems with the original footage that you will only get a successful track if you render the original to a lossless DI before tracking. You also need to render a DI if your original codec is not compatible with the tracker. Mocha is very sensitive to highly comprised formats and the Warp Stabilizer (a form of tracking) and AE's other trackers may also not like highly compressed originals either.
There is also one un breakable eternal law that no one has yet found a way to circumvent. Some shots will not track with one tracker but may track with another. IOW, you may not be able to do a 3D camera Track with the Foundry's Camera Tracker, or AE's Camera Tracker but you may be able to get a successful track with Syntheyes or MOCHA Pro, or other tracker software, but some shots cannot be tracked with any software. For example, an aerial shot of the ocean from an airplane cannot be 3D camera tracked because there is no fixed geometry in the shot. A shot of a wheat field with the wheat blowing in the wind many not be able to be tracked because there is no fixed geometry in the shot, but it may be able to be stabilized if the horizon is well defined.
If you apply any distortion effects or do masking or anything else the the shot will only track if you pre-compose but the effects may throw off the final result. If you must apply effects do them after you track the shot unless paragraph 2 applies. If your track fails and you are confident that there is enough fixed geometry in the shot to track then see paragraph 3.

CS4 Dynamic Link Problem

Is anybody having trouble keeping the source files linked in After Effects after using dynamic link from Premiere?
Please refer to this link:
cwrig, "CS4 Dynamic Link Problem" #1, 26 Oct 2008 1:02 pm
This is very frustrating.
Thanks for your time!

Did some more tests and here is what does and doesn't work for me.
Losing footage -
Yes I was having the issue (and the topic is in the premiere forum also)
Here is what seems to solve it.
It loses the footage if I use the original folder which has spaces in the name. Not sure if that is the culprit but both methods proved consistent in every test I did.
it worked when I used a new folder called "Test" at the root of my editing drive.
Crashing-
Not sure if other have the issue but when I close AE, PPro will just sit there with an hour glass and show as not responding.
If I close PPro first and then AE and reopen PPro then all seems to work as it is supposed to.
This was also consistent in every test I did.

Dynamic Link Problem beim Batchencoden???

Habe seit kurzem folgendes Problem: Exportiere ich mehrere Videos über den Media Encoder, habe ich bei fast der Hälfte der Filme "kaputte Videos" entweder nur an den Effekten oder beim kompletten Video. Rechne ich die Filme einzeln raus, ist alles ok. Das stinkt sehr nach Dynamic Link Problem. Ich kennen das z.T. schon in der Zusammenarbeit mit After Effects. Hier rechne ich meine Projekte erst, bevor ich sie in Premiere reinhole. Aber auf das Batchencoden kann ich nicht verzichten, da ich teilweise 30 und mehr Clips in verschiedenen Formaten rausrechnen muss und das wirklich nicht einzeln erledigen will.
Frage: Hat jemand ne Idee (das Problem existiert erst seit kurzer Zeit), ob da irgendwelche caches vollaufen, kann man dynamic link irgendwie "resetten" oder muß ich das ganze Production Premium Paket CS5.5 neu installieren (wollte ich eigentlci vermeiden!!!!!)?
Ach ja, System Windows 7 64Bit mit CS5.5

Operator error. Answered my own question. I haven't used Dynamic Link much. It works fine. I was momentarily confusing the import of a PP project vs. a Dynamic Linked Sequence.

Then 'm selecting 3 points after camera tracker and right click them there is no SET GROUND PLANE in the list, can U help me?

Quit farting around with the camera tracker. You're not nearly ready to handle it. Go here:

Dynamic link problem, PPro cs5 - AE cs5, multi-cam sequence

This is odd. I'm working on a two camera interview in Production Premium CS5. Did the standard stuff - a source sequence with both cameras, did some rough editing here (syncing the two cameras, trimming the clips, etc.). Then nested the source sequence into a multi-cam edit sequence. Used the multi-cam monitor to switch back and forth between cameras, etc. All is good.
But my editor wants to make three separate videos from this interview. So the logical thing (so I thought anyway) would be to nest this muiti-cam edit squence into three separate target sequences. Then I could get the camera switching done just once, and slice-'n-dice the three target sequences to make the short-'n-sweet individual videos that make my editor happy. Did this for the first target (a single question and answer). The result looks fine in PPro, and editor approves. All that's left is adding the lower thirds.
Everything fine until I go to export to AE via dynamic link so I can add lower thirds and finish up. What PPro sends to AE isn't just my target sequence, but it also sends the multi-cam edit sequence and the source sequence as well. But.... it ignores it all and will only show me the Acam footage. Bcam doesn't show up at all. Clearly this isn't working. But now I find that I can't even break the links. So I can't even start over. Sigh...
Two questions: First, how does one export a multi-cam edit sequence via dynamic link from PPro to AE, and have it show up in AE looking like it does in PPro? In other words, what did I do wrong?
Second, how can I recover from this? Do I really have to delete my target sequence in PPro and start over (and by extension, delete the AE project also)? Is there no way to sever a dynamic link once it's made?
Bruce Watson

Um.... didn't work. Seems that AE and PPro have different ideas of what "transparency" mean. The lower thirds composition in AE has a transparent (black) background which works fine in AE (I've used this lower thirds quite a bit in AE so I know it works pretty well), but when I import it into PPro it shows as white, and is completely opaque. Lettering doesn't show up either (but the letters are white so that's not such a surprise given the background), but the motion is still there. None-the-less, either way I tried it (copy and paste, or export from AE as a PPro project, then import it in PPro and drag the AE built sequence to the timeline) didn't work.
Trying to export just the lower third comp from AE through dynamic link as a PPro project didn't work either. Failed weirdly. It popped up the right sequence creation box in PPro, so I could pick AVCHD 1080p30 as the sequence type (matching the other sequences in the project), and created the new sequence with the correct name. But the sequence was empty. It wouldn't let me drag the lower third sequence anywhere either, so I couldn't put it on a timeline.
Sigh... this isn't supposed to be this difficult. But hey, if it was easy anyone could do it, yes?

Premiere, After Effects, Speedgrade, Media Encoder and... the dynamic link

My feeback after working with the dynamic link these days. Basic project. Editing, color correction, animated titles.
I'm using a 3.5Ghz iMac 24GB Ram and a GTX 780 4GB. (2014 versions & last updates).
Rendering the timeline in Premiere is sometimes extremly slow (with AE comps). Need to quit and reload the project to get a good speed.
Too long delay of refresh for the AE compositions inside Premiere (with the dynamic link). Need to go in AE then back to Premiere to get the refresh.
When i export to media encoder i need sometimes to save then send it 2 or 3 times to get the last edits in the export.
Even worse with the AE compositions. If i change something in AE then export from Premiere i need to quit and reload Media Encoder to get the last changes.
Really fast export from Premiere to Speedgrade and from Speedgrade to Premiere.
But !!! Lumetri fx is not compatible with AE. And Speedgrade doesn't support BlackMagic but only this nVidia Sdi thing.
And why we could not export h264 from AE anymore ???
Quiet disappointing :-(

Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (build 21) and Media Encoder 2014.0.1 (build 8.0.1.48) on OS X 10.8.5
If I Export a video from Premiere, I can continue using Premiere, but if I Queue an export, returning to Premiere produces the beach ball of death. If I give it time, the beach ball goes away and the arrow returns, but trying to click anywhere in Premiere simply returns the beach ball. There is nothing to be done but Force Quit Premiere. I can leave Premiere and run any other application, but if I leave to execute the Media Encoder queue, I cannot return to Premiere and use Premiere. I can visit Media Encoder (call it to the foreground) and return to Premiere after the queue is done.
My current workaround is to use Export from Premiere and not use Queue from Premiere.

Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC - Dynamic Link of an .aep not working - Stalls during import

I have been trying to import an .aep file into Premiere Pro CC from After Effects CC. As suggested, I import the file. The dynamic import window appears. It states connected to file along with the import files ... dialogue box. It stalls there.
I have been working off my network and have all the files collected on my machine.
My workaround to get me to deadline was to render my clips from AE and import them. Importing the .aep would make more sense from efficiency and workflow.
Thank you

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 and After Effects CS4 Dynamic Link "glitches"

I am no longer able to use dynamic link when I try to link to multiple AE compositions from Premiere.
What happens is, when playing the sequence back in premiere, there are random frames in the dynamic link clip that are out of order. For example if I have two compositions, A and B, each 1 second, and they are in my Premiere project, the playback might do something crazy like this:
Should be (frames):
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Really:
AAABAAAAAAAAAABBAAAAAAAABBABABABABBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
I'm not sure if there is any pattern to it, but dynamic link is just not working. I thought this might be a preview issue, so I tried rendering it and I got the same incorrect sequence as the preview. I've tried things like removing and adding the compositions again, or deleting the media cache, but this always randomly comes up.
My only option has been to export in AE (and when doing uncompressed that can use a lot of disk space).
Any ideas as to how to solve this? Or is dynamic link just a broken feature?

Well that was stupid. I had to rename the compositions (they were created from Premiere so the automatic names had a trailing number). Then I had to reimport the comps and place them over the old broken ones (clearing the cache didn't seem to help with those).
After replacing with comps without numbers and clearing all of the caches, it seems to be working so far.
I can't believe this bug even exists. Especially when the "Replace with After Effects composition" will repro the bugs. Sounds like poor testing on Adobe's part.
At the very least this should be documented somewhere officially. I was able to find this post on the web after looking up this specific issue: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/adobe_dynamic_link_troubleshooting.html

Hello I have a CS5 Master Collection with Dynamic Link problems

Hello Adobe,
I had no problems with CS5 Master Colection, but after 1 week Encore dont work, the problem is, Dynamic lInk is not wordking.
I deinstall all Adobe products and use the adobe creative suite cleaner tool and after that I make a register cleanup.
Then I Start up windows 7 Pro 64 Bit Agan and install de CS5 Suite, but after that the same problems with Dynamic link apear
I hope anyone have an solution!!

Dynamic Link Problem

I have a Vista system using CS4 suite with plenty of memory and storage.
I know this is probably not stricky a PP problem but I have gotten no response in the Encore forum.
I had been sucessfull in creating large multi sequence projects in PP, accessing them in Encore using the dynamic link feature, then building DVDs.
Since the first of the year (2010) I cannot build a DVD using the dynamic link.
Now they all end in errors: Memory Allocation Error & Unable to Create Image Buffer.
Please give me a hint to where to go to solve this problem.
I liked using the dynamic link - It was much quicker than creating intermediate files to build a DVD.

Actuallly...wrong (master/slave).. tried it.
But did find the solution:
I changed drive letter designations so that the DVD drive letter comes up first in the alphabet. It is now Encore default drive.
But thanks for input..it got me to thinking.

Any ideas on this dynamic link problem I'm having.....?? CS4

Installed the full Production Premium CS4 package under Win7, 64-bit.
If I right click a clip in Premiere and select "Replace with an After Effects Composition," AE opens, clip appears and I can add an effect, etc.
I can also save the AE project.
However, I can never get back into Premiere. I just get the spinning circle.
Timeline shows, "Replace with AE Composition" where the clip was.
And, I must close AE first before I can close Premiere, so it appears that AE is communicating with it, but just not completely.
Same exact thing happens with Soundbooth and Photoshop. I can get data in and modify it, but never return it to Premiere.
I've reset the preferences (shift ^ alt) at startup of Premiere and AE to no avail.
Haven't seen anything in searching the forum that helps, so I'm wondering if this rings any bells for anyone?
TIA,

Some additional information about the problem:
Open Premiere with "Run as Administrator"
Right click on a clip (doesn't matter which) and select "replace with AE composition"
AE opens and asks for a filename. Task Manager (TM) indicates "Running" for AE and "Not Responding" for Pr.
Give filename and AE opens with the selected clip from Pr. TM indicates both as "Running."
Can return to Pr and then go back to AE. Can "File\Save" in both.
However, when I add an effect in AE - e.g., Brightness/Contrast, the effect works fine in AE but if I return to Pr, just get the spinning wheel and TM says "Not Responding" for Pr. AE is still "Running."
If I click in the timeline, or any other "box" in Pr, it goes "whitish" or semi-transparent or fades. Hard to describe exactly.
Every box I click in does the same. Spinning wheel never stops and Pr never recovers.
State of the system at that point is as follows:
Once there was another program that appeared in TM called "droverloard.exe" that appeared and was also "Not Responding."
I'm about out of ideas here, so hopefully this will jog someone's memory about what's going on...
TIA,
