Can't Import after effects comp after update

After I update all the CC 2014 App , I found out that I can't import AE's comp into Sequence
the Comp only shows in the Project window
help me Plz!

It's possible that your firewall software is blocking the communication between After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder. See this page for a solution if that is the underlying problem:

PPro CS4 crashes when importing After Effects comp

I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac, when i try to import an after effects comp that uses the zaxwerks "flag" plugin, premier crashes...why?

Does this happen only when you use the plug-in, or for all comps?

Dynamically linked After Effects comps causing Premiere to freeze (after latest updates)

Normally in a dynamic link, any changes made in After Effects would be displayed in Premiere within a few seconds. However, after the latest software updates... it now takes 1-2 minutes and the Premiere interface is completely frozen during that time.
Anybody else having similar issues?
-Pete

Hi, thanks for the link but I'm having a different issue. My Premiere interface actually freezes and I'm unable to use Premiere for 1-2 minutes.
App Nap is disabled for all Adobe apps and I do frequenly empty my Adobe Media Cache and After Effects disk cache and it doesn't prevent the freezing.
Or sometimes just having a dynamically linked After Effects comp on the timeline slows Premiere down to the point where even scrolling through assets in my project panel is very jerky.

Can't apply transitions to After Effects comps in Premiere Pro

Hi people, newbie Premiere user here (my boss is trying to convert me from FCS) :-) I downloaded the trial version of CS5 and want to learn as much as I can before my initial 30 days is up. My initial experience has been pleasant, but I've come up against an obsticle I could sure use some help with.
1)     Creating my timeline with serveral clips
2)     Exporting certain clips to After Effects; 'Replace with After Effects composition'
3)     Adding my effects
4)     Back in Premiere Pro my clip is replaced by the comp.
5)     Try to apply a simple cross-dissolve across 'Comp 01/Comp 02'
PROBLEM!
Seems the transition will only snap to the start of the second comp. With clips I can drag & drop the effect to span the clips and get perfect results, but not on an After Effects comp.
6)     In Premiere Pro 'Effect controls' change parameter so that the transition centre is at 'cut'
The result indeed spans the clips, but the effect quality is terrible - decent fade from comp 01 to a sudden dip to black before fade-up on comp 02.
Yes, I understand the 'Layers' concept, but I'm not asking the software to do anything nonsensical, just a simple cross-fade across 2 comps.
I really would appreciate any advice anyone can offer, I'd really like to be converted (mainly because if I AM my boss has promised to buy me a licence when my 30 days are up!) :-)
All the best
Steve

To expand a bit on Colin's comments, back in the film days, the concept of Handles was easy to grasp, as the pieces of film were on an A and a B Roll, and the editor had to physically overlap them by the desired amount, so that the lab could print with a Dissolve. The same held for the days of A-B Roll digital editing, where the Clips were again physically overlapped on separate Tracks. Then, digital editors were developed that allowed one to edit with the Clips on a single Track, and where Transitions were applied between them. The Handles were necessary still, but were no longer visually obvious.
These images will tell you a bit more about the concept:
Hope that this helps,

How can I sync up my clip in Premiere Pro with the After Effects Comp I replace it with? How do I link them?

I am having some issues seeing a tracked mask work correctly in Premiere Pro. I clicked on my clip in my Premiere pro project and hit "replace with after effects comp". After correctly masking out everything in AE and tracking it to perfection, I clicked save and went back to my Premiere project. However when I view the new "linked" clip in my project it has dropped frames. The mask seems to track correctly but the dropped frames are an issue. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thanks,
Ajnies

When I return to the linked clip in my Premiere project, it does not contain every single frame of the original after it has been replaced by the AE comp. It skips about every other frame. I am doing a stop motion animation so this is highly noticeable.

Rendering After Effects Comps can be very slow

I have a PP CS6 project which has quite a few in-line After Effects comps in the main sequence. The are all image stabilisation (for clips which are are of a different size of the sequence). When I render then most of fairly quick (several frames a second) but some are very slow (a frame every few seconds). The settings on the warp stabilise is the same for all of them. It seems to be the longer clips that cause problems (sometimes over 30 secs). Anyone know why or got a way to speed up the longer clips?

Now -- if you need to export an alpha channel out of AE then you'll need some specific formats.
Good luck,

Welcome home, Mench!
To maintain the alpha channel from AE, the OP will want to look up how to be using two codecs, Animation and ProRes 4444. Both are extensively described in the help system for FCP and After Effects or just google them for several hours of interesting reading. The OP will also need to understand the concept of an alpha channel which, come to think of it, was difficult for me.

Program monitor constantly freezing/stalling when playing dynamically linked After Effects comps

I'm having program monitor issues when I try to play dynamically linked After Effects comps from my Premiere timeline. I realize it's expected to have jerky playback since After Effects comps are memory and CPU intense, but it doesn't seem normal for these things to happen:
Sometimes during playback, the program monitor completely freezes while audio continues to play and the CTI continues to move along timeline. When this happens, there's no way to stop the playback at all using mouse or keyboard... so I'm forced to just quit Premiere and re-open project.
Program monitor can also freeze when I place the CTI on top of the After Effects comp. Sometimes if I wait a minute, the screen could update and eventually display the After Effects comp.
I'm unable to render effects on the Premiere timeline because it just hangs at "Rendering frame 0" and never advances forward.
There's nothing special about the After Effects comp I'm linked to... it could just be regular text that I animated using ease keyframes and motion blur.
I originally thought it was related to GPU settings but it doesn't make a difference if I set After Effects to use CPU instead of GPU or set Premiere's Mercury Playback engine to software, CUDA, or openGL. I even have the latest CUDA drivers installed on my Mac. But I must mention that this issue got significanly worst after updating to OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Here's my system details:
OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Premiere 7.0.1 (105)
After Effects 12.0.1.7 (I installed the OS X Mavericks crash update fix)
The most prevalent error messages displayed in the OSX console is:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: dynamic_cast error 1: Both of the following type_info's should have public visibility. At least one of them is hidden. N5dvaui2ui8MessageTIKNS0_7UI_NodeEEE, N5dvaui8controls23UI_PictureSupplyMessageE.
Here's a few that are less common:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: [PremiereCocoaMacApplication handleMenuCommand:1633841013 from <DVAMacMenuItem: 0x6100002f8300 About Premiere Pro>]
After Effects[377]: -[NSMenu menuID]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600000077080
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Pete

I think I found the problem... OSX Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap that basically slows down an app that appears to be doing nothing or is minimized in the background.
So essentually when I try to display an After Effects dynamically linked comp via my Premiere timeline, it freezes because OSX put After Effects to sleep.
To fix this, I had to disable the App Nap feature on After Effects. Now everything is performing back at pre-Mavericks levels (which is about 10% stalling playback issues vs 90% stalling). I also noticed that all of the console errors went away.
To disable App Nap in OSX...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the After Effects CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe After Effects CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
I also did this with all my Adobe apps just to be safe.
Hope this helps

Error with "Replace wtih After Effects Comp"

When I use "Replace with After Effects Comp" on a clip in Premier CS5 (Mac), it sends the clip properly, I make my effect in AE (stabilize motion), save, then go back to premier and there is not change to the clip in premier (the change was clear and obvious in AE). In the lower right is a red circle wth an X -- clicking on it indicates "an unspecified error ocurred performaning an action" on the saved AE file.
The clip in Premier is marked red and indicates it is linked to the AE file, but the applied effect has not come through, it just looks like the original.
However, when I make other changes in AE, sich as adding text, no problem -- it updates in Premier.
What could be preventing "Replace with After Effects Comp" from workgin with AE stablizie image tracking files?
Using CS5 on a Mac (10.6.7) wiht the latest updater updates installed on all CS5 products)
Really stuck here. Thanks!

Can I not render wihin AE and have the rendered clip automatically link into Premier?
This method should give you realtime playback of your Ae comp
in the Pr timeline, but you will still have to render first.
Use the "Post-Render Action" in the Ae render queue to import your
completed render into your Ae project, then drop it into your
composite as the top layer, solo that layer, then save and exit.
Open Pr, and you should be able to play the composite without
having to render the timeline... unless there is a deficit in the
horsepower of your rig as Jim suggested in an earlier post.

FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?

After Effects project not updating

Hi
I have an issue with media encoder, when I use media encoder to render a After Effects project and then need to make a change to the original AE project and re render I’m finding that the change is not reflected when I re open that file in media encoder.
I take it that media encoder is caching the file but then why is the cached version not updating?
Any help please

What version of After Effects and AME do you have?
After you make your changes in After Effects, you should use the Composition > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, which was new in After Effects CC (12.0). Alternately, you can drag the comp from the Project panel in After Effects to the Queue panel in AME.
Otherwise you'll need to quit and restart AME to force it to reload the project.
Under the hood, AME reads After Effects comps using Dynamic Link, which loads a copy of your After Effects project in the background. If you save changes into your After Effects project file while Dynamic Link still has that copy loaded into memory, that copy is not affected. (This is a bug. You're welcome to file a bug report about it.) Only in the case where AME has flushed that copy from memory would it reload the project file and see the updates, which may happen if AME needs the memory space and will always happen if you quit AME.
The difference with the Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, or dragging the comp from After Effects to AME (in After Effects CC (12.0) and later) is that every time you do this, a temporary copy of your project file on disk is created with the current state of the comp. Having that updated project as a unique file avoids the issue of Dynamic Link needing to update the previous instance of the project.

Making new after effects comp question

If i go to file>adobe dynamic link>new after effects comp is there anyway i can make the length of the comp depending on my in and out on the timeline i want or am i forced to have a standard automatic 30 seconds that it makes for me?

What is that suppose to mean? I sent in a request to have this implimented as a feature in the next update, we'll see how that goes. I understand that you can make the duration edit inside the composition setting, but why should i have to do that? Doing this and then relining it up back in premiere wastes time. I should be able to do it based on the In and Out on my timeline.

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.

After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.

I'm having a similar problem with After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.
I can install AE-CC 12.1 on a new machine without issue.
Please provide the files to be removed to force update.
I'm using 10.9 - Mavericks and cannot use AE without this update.

Attempted to install update manually but rcvd error listed below. Admin is not suppressing updates, I can confirm as I am the admin. Also, other apps update without issue.

After effects slow screen updates

Hi, Ive got a lenovo yoga laptop (intel graphics card) and tried using After Effects and everything updates really slowly. For example, if I use the type tool and type something it takes minutes to update on the screen. This was happening with Photoshop, but after reading some forums there was a setting to disable open gl I think it was. After doing that everything was fine. But, After Effects doesn't seem to have the same options so was not too sure if there is a setting in there I can disable. Not sure if anyone has experienced this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Not able to render After Effects comp in Premiere CC Pro using Dynamic Link

I've noticed that I'm not able to completely render a After Effects comp inside a Premiere CC sequence. The render bar goes about half way and stays there. I found I have to quit After Effects for the render in Premiere to complete. Is this normal?
I'm running Mavricks on the new Mac Pro.

It's not normal on Windows.

CC will not allow After Effects CS6 to Update

I am a frequent After Effects CS6 user; not so long ago I started a subsciption with Adobe Creative Cloud and I've had nothing but issues with it.
The CC desktop would crash my whole system on launch, so I cancelled my subsciption and uninstalled anything related to CC cause I saw no real benefit.
But the CC apps remained on the system no matter what I tried to remove them.
Now my Premiere Pro CS6 is unable to open, and After Effects CS6 is unable to update.

I used that link already. I believe my old cc subscription is blocking. It states 'updates have been suppressed by the administrator'. After effects crashing after ram previewing. CC was removed after it crashed my desktop a few months ago. I have CS5 & cs6 which I paid for installed but I cant get into premiere pro because cc hijacks it. Cc was removed uninstalled because My system desktop wouldnt load so I discontinued my subscriptupm but it has interferred with my ability to use tge CS6 programs!
I have not been able to get any support and now I cant even edit a 2 minute short film which is due tomorrow.
