Adding Dynamic Link

I wasn't smart enough to buy Production Suite and ended up buying the components separately over the past couple of months. Is there is a way to adde Dynamic Link after buying AE and PP separately?
Thanks.
Bill

No.

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 CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

Overriding automatic replacing of AE projects with incremental file names in Dynamic Link (CS5.5)

Hi everyone,
I've been searching all corners of the internet for an answer to this question including this forum and the Adobe help documents, so I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.
First off, we're using Premiere Pro CS5.5. We have recently switched from a FCP6 to a Premiere workflow and we're really enjoying the Adobe Dynamic Link feature. Unfortunately, we've discovered a bit of a problem with our workflow.
All our AE projects are named something like "heb_alef_01.aep", "heb_alef_02.aep", "kor_hhh_01.aep", "kor_hhh_02.aep". These don't correspond to different versions of the same videos, but rather ...01.aep is video #1 and ...02.aep is video #2.
You can probably see how this causes a problem when it runs into Premiere's feature of automatically updating project files if it finds an exact filename match in that directory with a higher number at the end. If I try to import "kor_hhh_01.aep" it will instead give me "kor_hhh_02.aep", for example.
I noticed that in CS6, a checkbox has been added to the Preferences pane which will prevent this from automatically happening, but I wanted to know if any options exist for Premiere CS5.5 users. If necessary we can adjust our file naming structure, but I really didn't want to deal with the far-reaching implications of that if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Are each of these different AE project files pointing to clips within the same Pr project? (Seems like that may be the case..?) If so, it is highly recommended to only have 1 AE project per Pr project, and just have that include all of the comps corresponsing to the clips in Pr. Then, when re-opening the Pr file, click on "edit original" on any of the DL clips which will open your AE project, and any subsequent DLs that you send over will stay in your original AE project.
Disregard if I mis-read your problem and my advice is irrelevant.

Very slow Export to Media Encoder and Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server

My flow is this: Open After Effects CC, import an image sequence, go to File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue...
Every other time i do this it will take 2-3 mins before Media Encoder even shows the splash screen, then it'll take another 1-2 mins to open.
Next, I'll select my custom preset over on the right side of the window, then hit the Play button to begin encoding. Sometimes nothing will happen at all, sometimes I'll see the Orange stripped bar on the lower left and the message Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server and that'll last 5+ minutes and I end task to get out of AE and ME. Sometimes, ME will begin encoding right away and zip through the small animation sequence quickly without issue.
I have WIndows 7 Pro, I'm on a work network with access to the internet and AE has been updated 24 days ago. I have a subscription and I'm signed on. However, sometimes I do not have the Creative-Cloud icon in my systray.
Thanks,

Thanks. I have 16GB Ram, 64bit Win7, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz. AE is set to have maximum disk cache of 46GB. RAM reserved for other applications: 5GB RAM available for AE, PR, Pl, (some triangular icon [edit] which is ME ), Ps: 10GB. nothing else checked on that screen.
Typically just a mail client, 1 or 2 sessions of Firefox, 1 or 2 network folders open when i launch AE.
The last couple of times specifically, i had a 450 frame animation sequence at native 720p. then i added a curves layer on top of it in AE, then added two ~600x300px logos, one in each lower corner, then added a new solid layer which i used as a vignette. Finally over that i added a 720p still image which i held for another 15 seconds beyond the animation.
For the above, i ended-task, rebooted, brought it up again and it lauched ME quickly, then i got the stripped bar and connecting message until i ended task on that, then the 3rd time was the charm - everything opened quickly and it began to encode quickly.
The next three uses late afternoon yesterday were 150 frame animations at 480x270 and they all seemed to work fine. I created the sequence in 3ds max, then closed and went into AE. Then I'd close AE render another sequence, back into AE etc...

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.

Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

Hi, I've been having this same issue. Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr.
I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred. Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
PS Some additional things I will be testing:
Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

Slow program response, crashes when creating titles and dynamic link issues

Dear reader,
I am now trialling Adobe CC OSX with Premiere Pro and After Effects before deciding to subscribe but I am experiencing a lot of issues while working.
I am now working on an animation, but editing raw mxf files also gives crashes and slow responses/ program refreshes.
1) Slow mouse response
2) Slow program refresh while key framing visuals
3) Rendering in PP is extremely slow when AE is open in the background, when closing AE and re-initiate the render in PP it renders super fast
4) Crashes. When I overlay titles in my time line PP regularly crashes
5) Dynamic Link issues when working combined in AE and PP where file connections in the time line get lost when the AE project has too many sequences
I am curious to find out if other people are also experiencing these issues.
I am indecisive in getting the paid yearly plan or move to FCPX instead? Or should I get a new MacPro and is this model too old?
It worked fine 2 months ago, however I was still working on FCP7. After updating it is really bad working with it...
My system consist of:
MacPro mid-2010
OSX 10.9.5 (13F34) (new installation)
2x2,66Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon
24GB DDR3 ECC
Nvidia Quadro K5000, 4GB
2x PCIe SSD 1TB
2x HDD 3TB
2x HDD 2TB
Feedback is much appreciated! Best regards, Alexander

this does work for basic colour correction but not when trying to grade an entire suqence to achieve a specific style, applying a vingette or certain effects have to be done in after effects.
I want to try and get my whole sequence into after effects but preserve the edits and effects added in permier pro, is there any way to do this?

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?

Help! Anyone using Dynamic Link to PPro with success?

I follow the docs precisely, open new multitrack, go to dynamic link, open Ppro sequence, and it shows video only--no waveforms. Audio does play, but now waveforms appear in the audio track. What am I missing? To do any serious editing, I need to see the waveforms! Thanks in advance.

buraihan, thank you for putting me straight on this. It is so easy to
fall into the trap that if things aren't working it must be the
installation. Then you go to a lot of trouble to reinstall and then
end up messing everything up.
Yes I had studied the relative help pdfs including the link you
quote. The fact that it tells you to open a multitrack file is so
deceiving but the last sentence:
'To edit or process the video, use Adobe Premiere Pro or After
Effects.'
does rather give the truth away.
I suppose Soundbooth is only really useful if you are adding say a
music track to an already finished video sequence rather than tidying
up your audio in the sequence itself. I'll stick to doing it in
Premiere and I suppose if wav files need a little extra from
Soundbooth you have to do it a clip at a time - suppose that's ok.
I'm pretty new to video editing (although I have very many years of
computer experience). I am doing video demos for my site
angelakane.co.uk Any workflow suggestion would be helpful although I
am learning a lot by just doing it - I'm not in the movie business. I
do want good sound though. My youngest son is a talented film maker
and he uses Final Cut, Logic and Pro Tools so I don't get much
sympathy - says Soundbooth is a waste of time!
Thanks again, especially for responding so quickly.
AngieVK,

Dynamic Linking has stopped working in Illustrator CS6 16.0.4

Dynamic linking no longer appears to be working since the new update to 16.0.4. I have it set in the preferences to ask me if I would like to update when a change is made to a document that is dynamically linked to any AI file.
It just simply doesn't work anymore. It used to be if I had placed a photoshop document in AI, and then had to make an adjustment to the photoshop file, and then saved in photoshop, when I went back to AI there would be a box saying "the document has been updated, would you like to apply the changes to this file?" or something to that effect. Now I get no prompt, and no update happens.

BTW - Mac 10.6.8
And yes it is a linked image that was added using the place command. It shows in the links panel as a linked file. I can click on re-link and it will update, but I have to manually click it as opposed to dynamic linking updating automatically.

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

Dynamic Linking fails aerendercore non-responsive.

I sent this bug to Adobe:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Dynamic Link Server fails to connect in Media Encoder--aerendercore in non-repsonsive state.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Usually happens after using Media Encoder several times in a row to attempt the render of an AE sequence either by sending the sequence to ME from AE OR by trying to dynamic link to the sequence from ME.
Is fairly reproducable here
Results: Nothing added to cue or Dynamic Link Server never shows results.
Expected results: For either method to work as designed.
Force killing the process, aerendercore, (which shows as non-responsive in the Activity Monitor) allows normal operation as expected for a while.
Dynamic links suck, you know that don't you?

I took a look at Apple's source code changes to Cyrus IMAP, which is working with Open Directory. I did a diff against the original 2.2.12 sources using FileMerge and I see that Apple added code to look in Open Directory for user name and pass. So this explains why IMAP works but sendmail does not.
A pertinent question at this point is: Has anyone ported sendmail to Mac OS X Open Directory, similar to what Apple did with IMAP? If so, it would save me from trying to do it myself. I can probably merge the IMAP additions into sendmail, and this would allow Workgroup Manager accounts to send SMTP using SASL authentication.
Alternatively, the easier path seems to be to create a separate database for sendmail SASL, which isn't too far from what they recommend anyway.
No comments from anyone?

Dynamic Link Media Server error - lost video reference file and can't replace

I've had this problem twice in the last 4 days and both times it's coincided with an internet drop-out in the office. I've imported an uncompressed QT .mov into Audition CC, splitting the video and audio tracks, and added both to a multitrack session. I'm using the video reference track to sync SFX to an animation. The problem is that the video track stops playing in the video window, and Audition crashes. We've had problems with our internet connection and this problem occured when the internet dropped out. I wait for the internet to come back online and restart Audition, and get the following message:
"This file can only be imported using the Dynamic Link Media Server process, but it is still starting and cannot yet be used. Please wait while the process initializes and we import the selected files."
The app takes 30 seconds to load and my video reference track has disappeared and is labelled "Offline". I can't replace it in the multitrack timeline, even if I try to reimport the original .mov file into the project it only displays the file as audio with no video. I'm not using Premier and don't need to sync between apps, I just need Audition to recognise a video track on my local hard drive.
FYI: I'm running OS X 10.9.1 with Audition CC and have turned on "Enable DMLS Format support" in preferences.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm thinking of reverting to Ableton!

Is this DMLS update ok for CC apps? RE: 10.9.1, looks like that update is for Mac Pro late 2013 machines, I'm running off a Mac Pro from 2010. Sounds like it wont be compatible?
On the 'about' link it says at the top "The OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update is recommended for all OS X Mavericks users." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. You'd need absolute confirmation from Durin, but I can't on the face of it see why the latest version of DMLS wouldn't be compatible with the previous version - IOW, it should be fine. If either isn't, then they should refuse to install. But with the way that Apple has screwed up Mavericks, in all honesty, all bets are off about that, and I'm glad that I'm a W7 PC user.
I've wasted quite a lot of time lately fixing several ridiculous problems with Macs, including Mountain Lion's amazing ability to trash Wifi, etc, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed with them at all. So it's not blind prejudice, or even blatent bias this time either - FWIW I'm similarly underwhelmed with Windows 8.

Programatically adding command links in ADF Tree?

Hi,
I am using Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660. Can anyone please provide me some sample code for programatically adding dynamically generated ADF command links in the nodes of ADF Tree(Tree nodes in it are created using View Object - Drag & drop of data control). Now how can i add links in the nodes generated.
Thanks,
Vik

Hi,
try setting partialSubmit=true on the command link. Just in case it fires the action method before the context menu displays
