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,

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.

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....

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?

Try the After Effects forum. Your chances of finding help in this forum are not very good.

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

+++ 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.

10.5.5 does NOT fix AD login/binding issues! I've had it!

I've really had it. No more binding to AD with ANY of our new Macs. I'm sick and tired of wasting time trying to figure out why, after a successful bind and network login, AD logins will REFUSE to work on just about every 10.5 machine I set up. Today, brand new install. I logged in 3 times as the user, no problem. Machine sits for 2 hours, she goes to log in and won't do it. I rebooted, unbound, re-bound, deleted Directory Services prefs, you name it. IT DOES NOT WORK.
So, thank you Apple engineers for failing to fix this for the 5th time in less than a year - regardless of what is claimed in the README notes on 10.5-10.5.5. I'm done. If it weren't for Apple forcing us to use 10.5 on all new machines, we wouldn't waste a penny on upgrading. This worked virtually without issue in 10.4 and now it's apparently permanently broken.

It depends on what you have defined in your AD server, but the defaults (uniqueID for Map UID to attribute, primaryGroupID for Map user GID to attribute, and gidNumber for Map group GID to attribute) should probably suffice assuming it was working properly in our environment. It's not strictly necessary to have these enabled, so we don't enable them at this time. Better integrated into the domain than not.
Can you post portions of your /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.error.log and /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log files from times where you tried to authenticate unsuccessfully? There are timestamps in the beginning of each line. A bit of context before and after a failure would be useful.

HT5313 Does this fix the display resolutions issue with he 24" iMac?

10.7.4 only allows 2 resolutions - neither correct - on the 24" iMac. Does 10.7.5 fix this?

and I must have sent 20+ crash reports
if you have crash reports, then you have a different problem than the one that freezes 20" imacs while scrolling in iTunes, most likely you have a corrupted update, or corrupted iTunes data...
both can be deduced, by a clean install from your original system disks... (after you back up everything, and make sure you have it all, and it is good data)...
the simplest thing to try is to put your iTunes library somewhere else... (a back up would be a good place)...
then reinstall from your system disks, then download the combo updater, and update from that to 10.5.6... once you have that, only put a couple pieces of data into your iTunes library, and use that for a while to see if you have a crash....
if no crashes, then it was either a corrupted install, or corrupted data in your iTunes library...
if no crashes for a while, put 1/4 of your iTunes library back where it is supposed to be... and keep using it to see if there are crashes...
if you do get a crash after moving anything in, take it back out, and check for a while for crashes...
then you can isolate corrupted data that way.

IOS 4.3.3 does not fix wifi or GPS issues introduced for me at 4.3.2

Upgraded this morning with great expectation that they'd be a fix for the terrible lack of wifi signal sensitivity that came with 4.3.2 (have to stand next to a router to get the signal!!), and the complete loss of GPS.
No change as far as I can see. ****!!

No wifi problems but I do confirm a poort GPS signal after upgrading to 4.3.3.

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

Premiere CS5 and dynamic link with Affect effects doesn't "sync"

Hi guys, having issues with Pr and Ae CS5 using the dynamic link. I haven't got massive experience using aftereffects, i mainly edit. I doing VFX for a short film ( i know right, deep end..) Its a hand held combat scene.
I'm using action essentials 2 for muzzle flash and explosions. And i'm noticing that when a do tracking (manually, "track motion" doesn't work, due to the shaky camera movement) in After effects, the muzzle flashes are in place and looks great
but when i go back to Premiere to view the clip, its not hitting the same marks in every frame. I export the clip out of Premiere and still the same issue.
example of me manually tracking or adding keyframes for position in after effects.
After effects still. Premiere still. See how the flashes are in the sky.
Look for the two muzzle flashes up the top right, on the ridge line.
The footage is AVCHD .MTS files for a Panasonic GH2 PAL
Here's a link to the clip, notice that same of the flashes coming out of the actor's gun isn't in the right positon also.

We are just shifing to PP from another editor and have only used PP to AE for color correction tests w/Color Finesse (a plugin in AE). My only experinece with dynamic link is in this way. Personally I find it very cumbersome. So take this with a grain of salt, but if we do other work in AE (we have an intern working on a 1.5 min AE animation) I will render it out in AE to ProRes HQ or 4444 if I need an alpha channel (or similar codec) and drag it into my project folder in PP.
You should do yourself a favor (Not meant with disrespect) and take a few hours and REALLY get down and dirty with Dynamic Link between PP and AE.
I use it all the time and it litterally saves me 10+ hours of work on EACH project which is typical between 70 and 300 clips.
In fact, I dont know how I'd do withouth DL.
At first it seems cumbersome, yes. But that is only until you get to know it...
I will cut the whole project in PP. Then save it.
Then in AE, I'll choose "Import PP Project " --- That will open my whole PP project in AE on SEPERATE layers (One layer per Clip).. Ready to CC.
I dont have to render a thing from PP.
If I need to, I'll use the AE Script "Pre Compose" to make an individual composition of each layer.
AE is just about the greatest app I have EVER seen on ANY computer ! Hands Down
Does not get ANY faster than that.

Adobe Media Encoder Dynamic Link Server NOT CONNECTING to Premiere Pro

I have Media Encoder CS5, as part of the Creative Suite 5. My programs say that I have no updates to install, so everything is up to date.
I am having an issue with the dynamic link server.
Here's what has happened thus far.
Recently when I have tried to encode a project sequence from Adobe Premiere Pro it DOES NOT work. This is the first time that has happened.
I repeated the process and again, it still happened, unable to connect to the Dynamic Link.
The Error messages that I was getting was "could not read from source. Check if it has been moved or been deleted"
Once, I received this, I went to check to see if all files were linked properly, and they were. Everything was rendered and all was good in the timeline and the project itself.
Yet, again, the error message appeared.
Then I tested a previous project that I knew had been exported and worked through Adobe to Media Encoder. And all the files were linked properly and yet again received the error message I wrote above.
Then I thought the Dynamic Link itself wasn't working properly, so I tested importing an Adobe After Effects Comp into a Premiere Timeline and it DID WORK.
Then I went and tested if a video file of an already exported project would be able to sync to Media Encoder. And this WORKED.
I then went to add the file directly from Media Encoder and when I went to add a sequence from a saved Premeire File, it would take about 5 minutes "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server", to then state, "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed"
My question is, how do I fix the dynamic link between Media Encoder and Premiere? Because, additionally, importing and After Effects Sequence works with Media Encoder.

I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..
What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.
Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!
Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!

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.
