Disappearing Dynamic Links

Here's a problem that I frequently encountered in PPro CS4 and had not encountered in CS5 until my current project: I dynamically link many compositions in AE (also CS5) to my Project in PPro. I save the project in PPro, close PPro, shut down for the night and the next morning when I reboot and open PPro, the placeholders for the dynamic links are there, but the links have that ugly "Media Offline" red screen that means I have to go to each link, delete it (there's no way in PPro to relink as a proxy as in AE) and reimport it into the PPro project, where it works fine...until the next time.
Everything is on the same drive in one big master folder. I am importing individual compositions from a larger .aep file that resides in an After Effects directory in the main project folder. Machine is a Quad core i7, Win7, 16GB RAM, and dual SSDs with no RAID.
Is this a feature or a bug?

I have had the same problem lately. You can re-link it. Right click on the file in the project manager an pick re-link.
It works for a couple times and then it will eventually break again.
My project files are on the same drive so I don't know what could be causing the issue.

Dynamic Link... My Question Disappeared?

I tried to import a video to Photoshop CS6 Extended, in order to export it as an animated gif.
I posted a question about it here, it appeared in 'trending' and then disappeared ! Did a moderator move it?
My question was... when I tried to import I got a message error to say "Dynamic Link missing...'
Can anyone help?

How to keep files from disappearing when using Dynamic link to AE from PremProCS4?

I am at my wits end here and hope someone can offer a solution. I use Dynamic Link in PremProCS4 to link a clip in my timeline to AfterEffects. I follow the instructions in my book and everytime I close my files and reopen..I loose the clip along with the effects...I get the place card instead. Here are the steps I do as per the Adobe Classroom in a Book Explains:
I double click on my .MTS file in the Project Board so it comes up on my Source Screen.
I take select the part of the clip I wish to use in my timeline and drag it to the appropriate spot on a video layer.
I then right click the "clip" and select "Replace With After Effects Comp"
I then name the new file. name or whatever.aep
It opens in AE
I then apply two simple effects... keying and a cartooning effect I use from NewBlue Cartooner.
As instructed I then go directly back to PremPro and do a "render" by pressing the Enter Key. This does not work since I only get a yellow bar above the clip instead of a red on???
So then I save the PremPro project and close it then go to the AE project, save and close it.
When I reopen PremPro the file has a place card in it and in AE it says I am missing a file.
I have tried many different ways to do this process including re-importing the .MTS file.
I can close PremPro and reopen it and all is the same as long as I don't close the AfterEffects project. Once AE is closed it looses the file. On a note here I keep all my computer source files in the same place and it never changes plus they are in my PPro Project as well. I never change the names so this isn't this reason.
Is there a tried and true method to select a piece of clip in the video layer in Prem Pro and add effects from AE and not have it misplace the files?
Thanks Kate

Hi Mylenium, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
Your idea of renaming comps got me to thinking..hmm.
So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
So far I figured it out...
Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
Rename it and save
R click and "Replace with AE composition"
Name new file
You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
Now you can save and close the AE project.
So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
Thanks.

Hi Curt, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
Its odd how I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time and I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference..darn.
In the AE forum they say this is quite common and no one really knows why...double darn.
So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
So far I figured it out... I guess I just needed to ask the question and write it all out to help get my brain working in the right direction:

Audio Disappears with Dynamic Link to Premiere

Software: AE and PR CC 2014 (October 2014 Update)
Computer: Mac Pro, 2.7GHz 12-Core, 64GB Ram
Operating System: OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks
Project: 12 e-learning videos
Description: Photoshop, Illustrator, and Apple ProRes 422 1920 x 1080 Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
Problem:
Ever since the new update, dynamic link in AE affects the PR timelines. Some of the PR timelines lose audio completely. I circumvent this by duplicating the troubled timelines in PR (Copy_01) and replace the current ones in AE. However, it randomly keeps dropping JUST the audio and I have to keep doing this and I am working on big projects and getting fed up. What else can I do?
Thanks.

I’d like to help, but I haven't been able to replicate the issue you are encountering based on the problem description.
Please file a bug report against After Effects, with exact steps to consistently reproduce the problem.

How can I accomodate for JSessionId in my dynamic links?

Hey,
I have dynamic links that are producing "Page not found" errors because of the appended jsessionid.
Example:
desired url = http://www.allhonours.ie/Ask/viewq.do?qId=52
actual url = http://www.allhonours.ie/Ask/viewq.do;jsessionid=2333E4463870ED22CEB657D8DF2380CD?qId=52
I'm using JBoss/Tomcat and struts.
I understand that jsessionid is appended when cookies are disabled on the client side.
Is there any solution to this problem? I know if the page is refreshed, I get the desired url!!
Ideally I want a session as I store certain info on the session but I dont want jsessionid disrupting my links!
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance
-pb

You would have to stop tracking the session with cookies and start
tracking the session on the server.um. how?
The whole point of the cookie/url rewriting is for the client to identify itself uniquely to the server. HTTP is a stateless protocol. The only way you can run a session, is if each request sends along extra information identifying itself as belonging to a particular session - the jsessionid.
If cookies are enabled, it sends this data as a SESSION cookie (one that disappears when your browser closes - ie it is not saved to your hard disk) Otherwise it has to use URL rewriting.
I have dynamic links that are producing "Page not found" errors
because of the appended jsessionid.Appending the jsessionid should not disrupt your links, unless you are doing something funny with them. Do you process the URL yourself in anyway?
What version of Tomcat/Struts are you using? Are you putting the jsessionid in there, or is it coming automatically?
Basically I don't see any way around your problem, short of writing your own session handling mechanism. (bad idea)

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.

After Effects scrambles image of dynamic link imported premiere sequence

I have an Late 2013 MAC PRO Graphics AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB with Maverick 10.9.3 and CC. In the 2 last CC updates, imported sequences from Premiere Pro with dynamic link get scrambled after a while, not on every frame and not in a specific routine. After clearing the cache, it disappears. Sometimes it appears on some frames in a final render too. When I don't restart the MAC completely AE will block completely after while. Is this a known problem of CC and is there a solution ? Or is it possible that i.e. i1 profiler software creates this problem.

Update to Mac OSX v10.9.4.

Premiere Pro CC and Dynamic Link Manager Issues

I have a previously purchased copy of Adobe Production Premium CS5 installed on my computer as well as a subscription to CC with a few apps installed.
I had a project opened in Premiere Pro CC, off of an external hard drive, and as I was working on it, trying to open it in Speedgrade. I decided to install Audition. However, it prompted me to close the dynamic link manager. Once I did, my project began messing up. As I tried to open the program, my sequences and merged clips disappeared and I don't know what to do. My semester project is due tomorrow. Premiere won't let me open the file (neither cs5 and CC) and the ones that do open have all the clips but no sequence nor merged clips that I previously had. I did notice that the dynamic link is no longer opened in task manager after restarting and restoring the system(with the ejected hard drive). How do I reopen it? And, will it solve the problem?

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.

How can I retain Speedgrade Lumetri effect on a Premiere clip when dynamic linking that clip to Afte

I'm trying to streamline the workflow between me (editor) and the animator at my office.
Right now we are exporting clips as ProRes files to be tracked and rotoscoped by the animator in AE and then dropping them back in Premiere. We work off a server so it would be much faster to simply dynamic link my clip that needs screen replacement animation into an After Effects comp. Then the animator could open that After Effects file on the server and do their work then just save it so it will automatically repopulate in my timeline with the tracked shot.
The problem is here. I want to color correct in Speedgrade before animation so I'm not having to track around screens. So I color correct and the clips come back to Premiere with the Speedgrade Lumetri effects applied. Then I dynamic link to AE. But when the tracked shot returns from AE, the Lumetri color effect is completely lost, which causes me to have to re-color and track around the screen replacement animation.
Does anyone have any tips for this? The help is much appreciated.

I just responded to this on another thread, but let me repeat it here for convenience:
Like you, I too (and I presume most everyone) first send to SG for color correction and then (actually after another SG trip for grading) replace with AE comp for effects work. And when I try that with my CC 2014, I have the same issue (all SG effects disappear after replace with AE comp). But I believe I've found a simple workaround (at least working great so far):
Instead of replace with AE comp, open AE and drag the PP comp to the AE projects - it will appear like a clip.
Create an AE comp with that and do your thing.
Save as AE project and import it into PP - it will appear like a clip that you can use in PP (as if you'd done a replace with AE comp).
Everything will be dynamic: if you change the SG corrections, the changes will get reflected everywhere (in AE as well as the AE project imported in PP), and what you do in SG will apply BEFORE the AE stuff, which is exactly what we want. Looks like Adobe put all the capability in, but the replace with AE comp is not making use of it yet - I will report this.
One other related issue is that for some weird reason, you can't drag the imported AE project in PP onto a PP sequence, BUT you can select it and ask to create a new PP sequence! Go figure.

Dynamic Link does not open Project on 2nd computer

Has anyone run into this situation?
Creating a Premiere ver CS6 project on the mac and creating a dynamic linked comp in Premiere to a After Effects comp works well until the project file is shared with another computer that did not create the project.
When the files are opened on another MAC, same CS6 version the Premiere project will not open. It cannot find the linked comp. It will NOT open the project file what so ever! I go back to the original computer that created the project and render out the AE linked comp files and import them as movies by replacing the dynamic linked comp files then resave the project. (Note: I have not deleted the comp files in the project, only on the timeline). I then try to open the files from the other computer the Premiere project will still NOT open. Again, back to the original computer that created the file, open the project and DELETE in the project pane any files that are AE linked comp files, even though they are NOT being used now in the timeline, resave the project, now the project will OPEN on the other computer.
All these files are on a standalone portable drive, the Premiere project scratch files are all specified to be on this standalone drive as well when the project is opening. It seems if any file is a "Linked comp file" and is not opened on the computer that created it, it will not open the project file. It does not act like a misplaced, missing file that it will ask you to located the file, or will still open the project regardless if it cannot find the file(s).
if your sharing project files or getting a new computer and try to open up a project file from the previous computer with linked comps you will NOT be able to do so. This has been my experience so far with CS6 on the Mac.

Steve

What does this message mean on my PC " the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.

Why does this message pop up on my PC after i start up " (AppleSyncNotifier.exe-Entry Point Not Found ) the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in dynamic link library SQlite3.dll. ? What can I do to fix this problem ?

Found this several months ago when I updated ITunes. I don't know why they still haven't fixed this, but I had to do this again yesterday 10/13/2011 when I updated.
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.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (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. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.

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.
I am not even using heavy footage. It is footage off of a Canon 5D Mark II h.264
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.
