After Effects Composition Not Refreshing in Premiere Pro

I'm using a late 2013 Macbook pro 15 inch 2.3ghz with Creative Cloud CC, updated as of 27/5/14.
I am linking after effects compositions in my premiere pro sequence. After pressing enter to render my effects and watch my project so far, i'll go to change some text in my linked after effects composition, save it, and go back into premiere. The project is not updated in premiere, even when scrubbing through, restarting both apps, even restarting the computer. The only fix i have found is to click on 'Delete Render Files in to out" and then re-render the effects in my entire sequence, which is very inconvenient when all I want is to see a single small change.
How do I get my sequence to automatically update when I make a change in a linked composition?

Ann,
I understand what you are saying. I'm not really even concerned or talking about Dynamic Linking per se. No matter what way you bring in an AE comp it's always gonna be dynamic linked. Even if you import it like it was a regular piece of media it's always gonna be DL'd in the Premiere comp.
Jim,
I agree and understand why the 2nd diesn't work. I wouldn't expect the 'replace with AE' in premiere to work mainly because whatever media you used in the AE comp is not brought over. Wish it would treat the AE comp like it was a piece of media and just carry it over.
About the other...,.
Also are you sure were talking about the same thing? I'm talking about opening only After Effects then File - Import - Premiere Pro project. When I do this everywhere there was an AE comp in my PR timeline. It is now missing. Even if manually replace it with AE comp in AE, it has no idea where the media is. I have to manually re-import every AE project and stick it back in the timeline.
Have you tried it with CS4? I don't have CS3 anymore but I seem to remember it wasn't a problem back then.
Also Jim if you still say this works for you, would you mind if I uploaded a .prproj with say one piece of media, then a simple AE (only titles or solids) would you mind checking it on your version of AE?

After Effects composition greyed out on Premiere Pro timeline.

Hi,
I have created a timeline in PP CS4, right clicked certain clips and replaced them with AE compositions (using Dynamic Link) and I have then tried to motion stabilize these clips.
However, having completed the motion stabilization in AE and switched back to PP, the clip is greyed out (diagonal bars across it) on the timeline, and scrubbing through the clip now show me that there is no longer any contents shown in the Program monitor.
What gives? Are there certain things that can't be carried through the Dynamic Link feature from AE to PP?
Is there a work-around to this problem?
Thanks
Mikkel

I have same problem, render queue opens and menu items greyed out. I cannot find ae_render_only_node.txt on my system. Am also getting warnings to update CUDA which I did. Now get a warning about not enough VDRAM for 3D... Using latest AE CC 2014 on Yosemite.
Any more suggestions? I just want to open AE and don't plan to do 3D work for now.
Thanks,

Import after effects file (cc 2014) in premiere pro (CS6)

Hello, I try to import after effects file (cc 2014) in premiere pro (CS6), but it says that the file may be corrupted (I tride with several files with no success) , any idea ? (windows)

no can do... it's not backward compatible
you need to pre-render the comp to a digital intermediate file
preferably lossless
hahahahahahahahaha!!!

After effects won't download, but premiere pro does. You can't use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CS6" with this version of OS X.

i have macbook pro 10.10 osX yosemite??

CS6 is 3 years old... long before Yosemite
Mac Yosemite causes problems for some people, especially for OLDER programs

Replace with after effects composition not bringing in media

When I replace a premiere clip with an after effects comp it creates a new composition but doesn't bring in the media. Anyone have a answer?

I am having the same issue. When I "replace with after effects composition" it creates an AE comp but no media files transfer over.
I've been able to work around it but when I want to use a small clip from a long video file it's a big hassle to re-import the footage into AE and find the clip I need to mess with, then re-place back in premiere.
This problem occurs with any media, whether it's a JPEG image, a PSD file, or video footage (MOV format shot on a Canon DSLR).

Mercury Engine in After Effects CS5.5? Or, why is After Effects so much slower the Premiere Pro?

Take this quote :
"by Todd Kopriva on Apr 25, 2010 at 8:08:14 am
'Mercury' is a marketing name for these performance improvements in Premiere Pro: - multiprocessing
- multithreading
- 64-bit application
- use of CUDA to to some processing on supported hardware
The first three of these are in After Effects CS5. (The first two have been in After Effects for much longer.)"
However, if I drop my Canon 5D Mark II footage (h264) into Premiere Pro it plays back SO MUCH better then the exact same footage in After Effects. Why is that? I DO NOT have an NVideo card and I have NOT applied any effects or scaling to the clip, just raw footage dropped into each program.
I do notice that After Effects has to render to play back (green bar being generated above footage). But it does slow very slowly, like 9fps. Premier Pro seems to cruise right along at near realtime. This is 24fps 1080p footage. One other point of interest, I have encoded the clip into Cineform codec as well. On Premier Pro I can tell a difference, the cineform scrubs a lot smoother then the original H264 clip. But, again, in After effects both the h264 and Cineform clips are very slow to render and scrub.
Any improvements along these lines for CS5.5?
Am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks for any info,
--greg.

I think the problem is that hitting the space bar and hitting '0' (ram preview) both draw that green bar, and both seem to use it if it is already there. I guess the real difference is how that green bar gets generated. It does seem to get generated faster when I ram preview as opposed to hitting the space bar. Using both cores I have I guess (early 2009 24" iMac).
When you hit the space bar, AE TRIES to play back as it renders each frame. Imagine what happens if it's a comp with 120 3D layers that all accept lights and cast shadows. That's why you don't use the space bar.
In a RAM Preview, AE fills up the memory available to it with rendered frames, then plays them back from RAM. Depending on processor speed, dimensions of comp & frame rate, this may or may not be real time, but there are ways to get real time. With the space bar, you don't stand a chance at real time.

From what I hear new iMacs are due out soon with the new Thunderbolt (!) and Sandy Bridge processors/chipsets. Should be a LOT faster then what I have now.
For AE work I'd say maybe yes, maybe no. To make AE REALLY speedy, you need a lot of processor cores and a boatload of RAM. iMacs aren't known for either of those things.

Making After Effects lower thirds editable in Premiere Pro

A friend has created some lower thirds using After Effects.
I want to to be able to edit them (change the text entry) within Premiere as I shall be using them a lot.
Is this possible and if so how?
Many thanks, Mark
PS. I've just moved over from Final Cut Studio which I've been using for over a decade.

I myself have a couple of different ways to deal with many, many titles or lower thirds in a single project. I am not a fan of making multiple titles using the Premiere Pro Title Designer.
If I make a lower third in After Effects, I can simply change the name in the lower third by animating the source text. I have an example you can see here:
The other way is to use InDesign, which can read a text file with all of the names in it. There is a video link in this thread: Brilliant way to create titles from text files
By the way, if you are trying to get rid of a black background from a 3rd party then perhaps you should be keying it out with a Luma Key. But to get the black to be transparent in Premiere Pro from After Effects, you just need to use the right codec. Like Quicktime Animation, or any of the others that export an alpha channel.

Adobe After Effects importiert nicht in Adobe Premiere Pro durch Adobe Audition bearbeiteten Sound

Hallo liebe Community,
ich versuche mich mommentan im Bereich der Videotechnik. Dabei habe ich mir ein Template für spätere Videos mit immer wiederkehrendem Intro und Co. erstellt. Das Endprodukt wird in Adobe After Effects erstellt und durch den Adobe Media Encoder exportiert. In dem After After Effects Projekt habe ich die Squenzen eines Adobe Premiere Pro Projektes importiert, in dem ich die eigentlichen Videosquenzen zusammengeschnitten habe. Von dort aus habe ich mittels Adobe Audition den Ton von einem Teil der Videos nachbearbeitet.
Wenn ich nun in Adobe Premiere Pro die Videosequenzen mir ansehe oder exportiere, höre ich den nachbearbeiteten Ton. Füge ich das Adobe Premiere Projekt nun aber in Adobe After Effects hinzu, höre ich den original Sound ohne Nachbearbeitung. Das selbe Problem tritt auf, wenn ich das Adobe After Effects Projekt mittels Adobe Media Encoder exportiere.
Alle Projekte sind abgespeichert, sprich an einem Fehlenden Speichern kann es nicht liegen.
Hat jemand eine Idee, wieso dies nicht funktionierten könne, bzw. wie man diese "Reihenschaltung" funktionstüchtig macht?
Ich würde mich über eure Hilfe freuen!
Viele Grüße
Jan

Das mit dem Cache, der wohl über die Programminstanz hinaus existiert, klang für mich zunächst plausibel. Jedoch brachte keiner der beiden Vorschläge eine Lösung des Problems.
Trotzdem danke für deine Mühe!

After Effects--Composition not using entire image frame??

Hello,
I'm very new to After Effects so I'm sorry if this is a very simple question. I've Googled it and I think maybe I'm using incorrect terminology because I haven't found anything that describes what is happening. So, I've taken a screen shot to hopefully help illustrate my issue.
I'm using After Effects CC - 2014.1 Release on a Late 2013 Mac Pro. Trying to piece together an animation render from Autodesk Maya.
Right now I'm using a test render so that I can figure out the import settings for when the final one is finished rendering. In this test there are 94 images, each intended to be one "frame" in a 24 frames per second animation. I think I have altered these settings correctly as it seems to be about the correct length (94 "frames" / 24 fps = 3.9167 or 3:55 seconds)
The problem I'm running into is that After Effects is only showing a small viewport of the actual images. I've outlined in the bright green dashed line the approximate actual image size and where in the image it is showing in After Effects. All of the images are the same size and same resolution, and they are all being shown only in this small window.
How can I change the settings to have the final animation show the entirety of the frame? Obviously it's showing such a small area that it won't work for me-- I really need all of that missing information shown.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

What size movie does Maya expect? If it's conventional HD, 1920x1080, you must scale your images to fit the comp size. If you need a comp that is 4k you must change the properties of the comp. they are both easy to do but require a bit experience with the AE interface. Start at the beginning of the basic tutorials that we refer to around here.
and welcome to the family. AE is hard. Really hard.

Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.

Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

You haven't given us much to go on here. What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try? Which specific version of each program are you using? (Go to Help>About...)
On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed. Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine. You don't need the full question there.

How do I relink after effects compositions to my premiere pro sequence?

I've re-installed the latest Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC programs and opened a project I have recently been working on. Now each linked composition is offline and when I use 'Link Media' it won't respond to me clicking on the appropriate AE file.
'Adobe Dynamic Link' in the file menu is grayed out as well as 'Edit Original' and 'Replace With After Effects Composition' in the clip right-click menu
I have a full membership of adobe suite CC and have updated to the latest versions of both Creative Cloud, Premiere Pro and After Effects
I've tried uninstalling then re-installing; signing out then signing back in. All attempts to google the issue have lead to nothing.
Really hope its something very simple that I'm missing, please help

sounds like premiere thinks AE is not installed. im not sure what premiere looks at to figure that out and enable AE options, perhaps someone else, or adobe staff knows what setting to change to fix this. otherwise you may have to try to uninstall, use the cleaner tool to clean out any left over parts of the program left behind, then reinstall. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
this thread adobe staff tried to help, but seems not to know the proper setting. dynamic link - premiere pro to after effects

After effects does not import video when I direct link from premiere pro. Why not? how do i fix this?

I wanted to add some motion tracked text elements into a clip of a interview in my premiere pro cc timeline. I left clicked on the clips that i wanted to "replace with after effects composition".. so i clicked it to and it opens a new comp in after effects.. Only there is no video opened in the comp.. Theres nothing there. I cant figure out why it doesnt bring the video in? Its not in my project panel in ae.. and ive tried direct link by left clicking the clip and going through the menu.. Tried closing AE and then doing direct link. Tried opening AE first and then doing it.. Not working no matter how i try it. Whats the fix?
Im using all CC products. Premiere is up to date, after effects is not. I will be updating it to see if that fixes the problem. As soon as I do. I will post a comment as to whether it fixed it or not. In the meantime i could use some help!

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.
