AVCHD, Dynamic link issues

About nine months ago, I updated Adobe CS4 Production Premium and the 4.1 update (for premiere) erased all MPEG-Related compatibility. After an hour on the phone with support, they told me to uninstall and reinstall it. MPEG-Related presets and compatibility came back, with the exception of Dynamic Link. Ever since then, whenever I try to replace a clip (AVCHD .MTS file type) with an After Effects composition (right click>Replace with After Effects Composition) After Effects asks me what to name the project etc. then, once the clip loads it gives me a color-bar type placeholder. When I look at the clip in the bin area, <missing> shows up before the file path. In a separate instance, I cannot export Flash projects into Premiere. (it comes up empty) All of these features have worked before. From what I can tell, it seems to be an issue with Dynamic Link and/or Premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 twice and the issue persists. Support just told me .MTS files aren't compatible with After Effects, but I'm not trying to import it directly into After Effects, it's through Dynamic Link. I have no idea what to do next. Does anyone know how to fix this?

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 issues between Pr and Ae

Hey Guys -
We have had issues with our dynamic link since the last update to Premiere CC 45 days ago. Two different iMacs, one 2010 and the other late 2012 are both having these issues. Regardless of system, we weren't having the issue before the most recent update.
The issue we are having is as follows:
If we create a composition in Ae and bring it into Pr using dynamic link, it's completely fine, you can see it in the Source window as you should. But as soon as we drop it on the timeline in a sequence, it requires us to render both in Pr and back in Ae before it will display in the sequence. And ironically, you don't have to render the exact dynamic linked composition back in Ae, but any old render of any of your compositions will then allow you push through the stumbling render in Pr and so you can display the composition on the Pr timeline.
The problem furthers when you begin to edit again and have to redo the entire rendering process if you make one move anywhere on your timeline. We've found this renders dynamic link useless as it's more time effective to just render out the composition in Ae everytime you make a change than have to deal with these troubles. Really frustrating as we love DL and used it constantly before the most recent Pr update.
And as an FYI, we are not doing big effects, these are simple lower thirds and titles that we are doing here. Very little processing power required.
Is there any fix in the works or is anyone else struggling with this? Seems too ironic that two separate systems are dealing with the same issue...

I had the same issue with dynamic link...the files would become unlinked and required a manual re-linking of each clip. Mostly happened with MXF media from my Panasonic P2 camera, Here is a workaround that so far has worked:
1. Use Raylight (I use this software all the time when I edit with fcp 7) to create a QT reference file from MXF media. It's super quick too...takes about 15 seconds to generate the aliases from a 64 GB card with tons of clips.
2. Import these QT ref files into PP CC and edit like normal. It seems to trick the software into thinking you are working with .MOV files and not MXF media which seem to be problematic in Premiere/After Effects.
Hope this helps....

Does CS5.5 fix DD5.1 dynamic link issue?

With CS4 if you wanted to move from Pr Pro to Encore with a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track and a video track, you had to export, encode, etc. the audio and video separately and then re-marry them in Encore. So you could not just use dynamic link to move to Encore as the 5.1 would not encode correctly. And of course any changes required you to go back and start over.
Does 5.5 fix this longstanding issue? I can't believe that the bug has lasted this long....
And yes, I (and others) have reported it many times at the appropiate Adobe site.
It seems like if Adobe promotes the DD5.1 capability and the dynamic link capability they should work together. This would really enhance the workflow if they did.
Thanks,
BJBBJB1

Jim,
Technically, you may be right....Good point.
However years ago back when I started using Pr Pro, let's just say their marketing material did not make that very clear. They touted something like 5.1 "capability" or something like that, along with the dynamic link capability. It sure sounded good till I tried and read the REAL small print! I guess they don't say anywhere those 2 features will work together, this is true. Just as it is not clear that to get 5.1 you must buy a plug-in in addition to the software!
But I am pretty sure they still talk about DD 5.1 in their marketing. And sending out all those e-mails about Avatar being edited in Pre Pro...I am sure most readers did not assume it was done in Dolby Stereo.
Anyway, whether a bug or not, that feature/bug fix should be made someday as DD 5.1 is almost assumed these days. Why would they not support the link capability with it? If Surcode went away I don't think Pr Pro/the suite would sell without some capability to encode DD 5.1.

AE/Pr dynamic link issues: lost links, slow renders

I use dynamic links to scoot AE comps into Pr timelines quite a bit. I like the feature because: a) inevitably a lot of tweaking and revising of comps tends to go on, b) it saves disk space and file management, c) it is easily adjustable from within Pr (right click > edit original).
Lately however, I've noticed some misbehaviour in my beloved dynamic links. When both Pr and AE are open Pr is slow to render the AE dynamic links. Like, really slow. 5 - 10 seconds per frame of basic CC and masking in AE. When I close AE the renders speed right up to what I would call 'normal' speed. A couple of frames a second. The only problem is when I close AE while Pr is open, Pr loses it's dynamic links. They appear offline the moment AE closes and to continue working with them have to relink, or if I save and exit Pr and reopen the dynamic links magically appear linked again. Any idea what is going on and more importantly how to fix it?
Vital stats as follows: OSX 10.9.1, AE 12.2.0.52, Pr 7.2.1 (4). Material AVCHD native, with matching timeline settings.

If you think something doesn't work the way you think it should, filing a feature request is a good way to push it towards happening.

I'd suggest posting over on the AE forum for the AE people to look at the rest of it.

After Effects CS5 won't open - Dynamic Link Issue - URGENT

hello folks,
a week ago i installed the cs5 production premium and everything worked fine. today when i came to the studio, my AE was working fine (no Optocal Flares installed). then i had to open an old AE project (i think cs3), imported it and hey, OF plug in missing. installed that, reopened and got that message on the startup:
i tried to reinstall it, but it dind't help, also the OF removal didn't achieve anything. and now i'm here, looking for help. any quick advise there what to do?
system running: mac pro, 10.6.4
complete failure report on demand
+++ thank YOU +++

hi mylenium,
thx for the answer. but my problem is still not solved. after researching i decided to reset my system via time machine. and it worked again. OF was working also, properly. but, i've redone the same mistake as before: i have premade scripts folders with maybe not compatible cs5 scripts in it, which i've copied into the cs5 script folder. and that provokes the issue i'm having ... trying to solve it a second time now...
there are so many application support folders, which one do i have to clean up for this?
thx

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.

Adobe Media Encoder CC Fails To Dynamically Link Embedded AE Comps Within PR.

When launching a PR project in Media Encoder to kick off a render. The dynamic link engine loads the PR sequence just fine but during the render it fails to read any clips that were "relaced with AE comp", instead inserting an "offline media" plate. Launching the PR project and reviewing as well as rendering from within PR works fine. Please note that this worked fine in Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
*****Edit
In doing some tests to consistently replicate the problem, it turns out that AE CC has to be open WITH the replaced clip comps loaded at the time PR OR Media Encoder is running with projects that contain the "replaced with AE comps" footage. Repeating the test with AE CC closed at the time yields the "offline media" result. This is definitely a bug I'd say. AE should not have to be launched with the project files loaded up in order for any dynamically linked comps to work.
****Edit
Please note the entire product chain is CC. Thank you.

Update.....
Problem solved.
It turns out that any dynamically linked CC apps must be run by the same user on the same machine in order to work properly. In this case, PR and AME were being run as a standard user on the workstation while AE was being run as administrator via the shortcut launch properties. The latter being necessary to have certain plugins function properly in AE CC. Modifying the AE shortcut to not run as administrator resolves dynamic linking issues.
Although it can be argued that logically all Adobe apps should be run by the "same user" on the workstation, it would be nice for the dynamic link engine to be more "real world" about linking projects on the same workstation in the case where a particular resource needs to be launched as an administrator. Security considerations in towe, this ain't top secret government or banking data risk management folks. Lighten up. Maybe a little warning box that pops up and says "such and such needs to be run as administrator....do you allow?".....after all this is EXACTLY what the OS does anyway when you launch as anyone other than the administrator from a shortcut. Quite reasonable for you (Adobe) to simply cascade the behavior.

Dynamic link - premiere pro to after effects

Hey,
these days, premiere pro's dynamic link suddenly stopped working. I tried many things, like reinstalling premiere pro, allowing everything explicitely in the (windows 7) firewall, changing the names of my project etc.
It stopped working means that 'replace with adobe after effets composition' and 'edit clip in audition' are both greyed out, just as File -> dynamic link is greyed out.
It is not greyed out in After Effects though, and I can import a premiere pro sequence from there. Just if I save the result and import it in premiere pro I can look at it, but not add it to a sequence (?).
Also I found that in the dynamic link folder there is a link to Premiere Pro CS4 (??) which I never had. I am using CC.
Any idea on what's going on and what to do?
thanks

Dynamic link server failed

I get a "dynamic link server server failed" error message when trying to add Premiere projects to adobe media encoder. CS6, update to date according to the adobe updater. Tried a restart, still nothing. This feature worked fine until about a week and a half ago. Wish adobe offered phone support for a $1,000 suite of software...

Reason: Please keep the title of your post short and concise for searchability purposes.

Kyle,
I have the same problem. All of this functionality worked before (at least about 130 days ago), but there have been at least two updates to Pr since that time.
Here are a few more data points. (Win 7 x64 Ultimate on HP Z820 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000 CS6 Master Collection)
(1) Exporting using Queue in Pr CS6 to batch in AME creates the project file in a TEMP directory, and launches AME and adds the file to the Queue. When I press start, it sits a LONG time, then finally in the Encoding panel, I get the "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", until it fails with the error "Can't read source file..."
(2) Exporting directly from Pr works fine (so headless AME is working)
(3) Importing a Pr Sequence within AME does not work, I get an error from the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog (after a long wait “Connecting to Dynamic Link server…”) that “Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed”.
I suspect this is a dynamic link issue, but don't know where. I've tried the 'create a new Premiere shortcut in dynamicilnk folder' solution, but it didn't work. When I first tried that, I did find two shortcuts already there, one for Pr and one for Ae, but BOTH of them pointed to a CS4 folder! I've never owned CS4, and went from CS3 Design Professional to CS6 Master Collection. I also suspect this issue was caused by one of the updates to Pr that occurred within the last 130 days (since the last time I know this functionality worked). I've made not changes to my system during that time.
I do not use Windows Firewall, and all of this happens on a single machine, so there should be no TCP traffic across the wire (unless it is communicating with Adobe?). I use Webroot Endpoint Protection, but have received no indication that anything is suspect or has been blocked. Any help from the Adobe engineers would be greatly appreciated.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Dynamic Link from After Effects CC to Premiere Pro CC Performance Issues

I just updated my After Effects and Premiere Pro to CC and since doing so I've found numerous performance issues. One that is seriously hurting my workflow is the poor performance of the dynamic link with After Effects compositions into Premiere Pro. In CS6, you could make a change to the AE composition, save it, click over to Premiere Pro and it would quickly update and you can play your timeline and preview your changes. You could also move the clips around and add cross dissolves and watch the changes quickly in Premiere Pro CS6. Now, since updating to CC, if you save the composition in AE and click over to Premiere Pro it won't update on its own. Sometimes it just shows a single frame of the AE composition. I found that if you right click and "Edit Original", go into AE and then click back over to Premiere Pro and it will finally update. But if you make any changes to the placement of the AE composition on the timeline, or add a cross dissolve, fade, etc. it again won't play the AE composition any longer. After you make any changes to the AE composition you have to right click and go to "Edit Original", go into AE, and then click back over to Premiere Pro.. Then it will finally update.

Thanks Kevin.
Unfortunately in my case the export doesn't solve the issue. The video only looks good while in the composition... I've tried exporting it in all the different formats with several codecs, but to no avail...
You can check my own post in the After Effects forum: AE linked composition looks different in Premiere

Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

Hello,
I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
2.8 GHz Quad Core
6GB Memory
I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
A few things to note:
*In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1.
*I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
*I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
*This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
*My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
Please help.
Thanks

So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

Dynamic Link from Premiere CC to After Effects CC Issues.

Just bought a new iMac maxed out 3.75ghz quad-core, 32 gig of ram, 1t solid state and 4 gigs of video ram; so my machine is more then capable of using adobe video applications very well. I like to do a lot of dynamic link things from premiere to after effects and 9 times out of 10 I use a black video (File>New>Black Video) as my place holder on the time line or you could use bars or a color matte, doesnt matter.. When I do my composite in after effects and then come back to premiere to render, it takes freaking forever if I leave after effects open. If I close after effects then do the render, it fires through the premiere render and no problems.
Now I also have a maxed out 12 core 64 gig ram Mac Pro tower at work and I have the same problem. Is this a known bug thats in the works of being fixed? Is there a work around instead of closing after effects to render to make it work smoother? Is adobe aware of this issue? Nothing is crashing or failing, its just taking a long time to render when i dynamic link if i leave after effects open. Any help or feedback would be awesome, thanks!

Todd_Koprivas
I spoke with vidya sagar from tech support a few minutes ago to get an update on when, maybe this update to fix this problem will be rolled out. He told me he and his whole team is aware of the situation. He mentioned its a problem where ram between premiere and after effects isn't being balanced out enough and thats why premiere is taking so long to render out after effect compositions. With all do respect, I'm not trying to be a nag. Can you maybe give me a progress report on where the team is with fixing this related issue? Vidya said your the man to ask and that you're a very reliable resource to get information out of with problems such as this.
