Dynamic Link complicated question

This is the story.....
1. I shot & edited a training session (many sessions - over 40 hours)
2. I did minor editing in Premiere, used Dynamic Link to send to Encore, set up a first run title page with 8 links to the 8 chapters.(all end actions going back to the main menu)
3. Burned a DVD for the client
4. The client made notes for additional changes for me to edit.
5. I went back into Premiere, made the editing changes (mostly increases in volume from audience questions, removing some comments, etc.)
Now... If I try and use Dynamic link again to "re-send" to Encore, my only choice is a new project... I cannot send using Dynamic link to an existing project (or if I can, I do not know how)
I know one work around is to encode from Premiere, then open a Encore project, import as a timeline.... & author away....
This way, If I go back to Premiere, make editing changes, export back out WITH THE SAME FILE NAME.... when I open the existing Encore project... everything is the same... except the timeline has the updated editing changes...
The only problem is that on all 18 DVD's, I used dynamic link to send to Encore... so does that mean, (unless I use a work-around, like stated above), I have to re-author all 18 DVDs. I would think that even when using dynamic link, if you open the timeline again in Premiere, make editing changes, that the Encore project would reflect those changes (to make sure, I set the audio volume to 0 on the first 10 seconds in Premiere, saved the project & closed it, opened Encore, did a preview, the audio was still at the regular volume (no change).....
Any suggestions...
Or should I just once again use dynamic link, start a new Encore project, re-author (& basically do the same thing over)?
Or should I do it the other way, encode from Premiere, (you know the rest), I do believe that all the editing changes have been made (according to the client)
Or, is there some way from Premiere to use Dynamic link to send to an existing Encore project?

I didn't read all your note carefully.
In your previous Encore project for DVD 1 (or whatever), right click on the "asset" for the timeline (the asset for a dynamic link is the Premiere sequece, not the Encore timeline that was created), and pick "revert to original." It should pick up your changes from Premiere.
Note that to update markers, you must select the video in the Encore timeline itself, right click, "update markers from source." You will lose all previous markers. If you created the markers in Encore, you must update manually.

  • Adobe Dynamic Link Interlaced Question

    I have several Dynamic Link files from After Effects in my Premiere Pro project - the final version of my project will be viewed on TV - so I want it to be interlaced. Are Dynamic Link files interlaced or should I export the files from After Effects into an interlaced format before exporting my project from Premiere Pro?
    Thanks
    FOO

    Simple rule: anything that is created dynamically within AE (text layers, shape layers etc.) does not care - AE (and thus Dynamic Link) will correctly sample their properties at the given time, so fields are always correct based on your settings. For the rest - if your AE project uses footage, it needs to be interpreted correctly and the compas have the correct sizes. If so, you should have no problems using the stuff in Premiere and retaining the field order.

  • Using Dynamic Link for projects cut in Premiere and effects in AE.. Rendering Question..

    Hello,
    So this baffles me. I've been working a lot in Premiere CC lately with ProResHQ green screen material. I send the sequence or individual clips using After Effects by right clicking on the clip in Premiere and selecting Create After Effects Composition...
    So I do my thing and when it comes time to render, I select render from IN to OUT in Premiere and wait. Now here's my question. If I select render in Premiere, it will be very sluggish until I click on the After Effects icon in my dock which brings the app to the foreground again. For some reason, this will dramatically accelerate my render speeds in premiere after I re-select the AE app. Why is this doing this?
    I'm using a new Mac Pro trashcan tower 3.5 clock speed. 64GB ram. Dual D700 graphics card. I am using a USB3.0 drive for my editing and the internal drive on the tower for the scratch. I'm getting a Lacie 1TB little bigdisk thunderbolt2 that will be my prime scratch and video location for future stuff.
    Thanks for your help -

    Generally speaking, there is no 'one & only' proper workflow. Just keep in mind the following:
    - not all effects and transitions are properly translated when travelling from PrPro to AE;
    - in Dynamic Link scenario PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck. See this good old thread on Dynamic Link workflow, pay attention to Todd's comments;
    - since AE allows to set a DI as a proxy to dynamically linked comp, with reasonable amount of dynamically linked comps in PrPro project you can enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between a DI and dynamically linked comp back and forth with no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline. Test on your own with which amount of dynamically linked comps setting DIs as proxies still work. For my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time.

  • Dynamic Link Question (with Premiere Pro CS3)

    I'm using Dynamic Link to bring a composition from After Effects CS3 into Premiere Pro CS3.
    It's just a basic DV 720 x 480 project - the composition lays over my video, so I'd like to use the dynamic link composition instead of rendering the composition as an uncompressed AVI 32-bit.
    My question is - if I just render the dynamic link and use that in my final video edit - is there any quality loss - as opposed to rendering the composition from AE as a 32 Bit AVI and then importing that AVI into PP?
    Thanks
    FOO

    There is no loss in quality. After all, Dynamic Link is nothing more than an invisible instance of AE that renders each frame just as AE would standalone. However, depending on the complexity of the compositions and resulting memory requirements, you may experience problems or the render may be noticeably slow.

  • Question about Dynamic Linking from Premier Pro

    I have a number of sequences created in Premier Pro CS5.5 that I have linked into a project in Encore CS 5.1 via the "Dynamic Link" feature. My question is - if I make any adjustments or changes to those sequences in Premier Pro, will those changes be automatically transferred to the corresponding timelines in Encore? If not, how do I make that happen?

    Jeff's answer applies to each dynamic linked sequence you transcoded after in Encore. For any sequence not already transcoded, changes will be automatic.
    The exception is markers. If you change markers, including markers that shifted on the Premiere timeline because you deleted or added clips, changed duration, etc, you must select the sequence's timeline and select Edit -> Update Markers From Source (replaces all markers).

  • Dynamic link question

    I have cs4 and when I create a link between after effects and premiere I can import the project, but it just plays a black screen with no audio either.
    when I check out the properties the imported project looks seems ok
    it doesn't work bringing in premiere to after effects either.
    any ideas?
    thanks
    slipage

    > ... when I create a link between after effects and premiere I can import the project
    The way that you've phrased this sentence makes me think that you're not using Dynamic Link at all but, rather, are importing a project. Please tell us _exactly_ which commands you're clicking and which buttons you're pressing so that we can help.
    See this page for an outline of ways to move information between After Effects and Premiere Pro. It might help with terminology clarification.

  • CS4 Premier Pro Dynamic Link to Encore Question

    I have DL'ed (Dynamic Linked) a project in PP CS4 to Encore CS4 and it worked just fine except that in the sequence in PP CS4 I edited some of the audio tracks with render and replace using Sooundbooth CS4. The audio effects I added in Soundbooth CS4 played back as encoded in PP CS4 on the time line but not in the final product from Encore. 
    What would have caused this?  Can added effects in Soundbooth be DL to Encore CS4 or do I have to render out in PP CS4 then pull the assets to Encore?
    Much thanks in advance for assistance.

    I don't believe that any of the effects I wanted to apply in SB were
    actually applied but there are other cuts and edits I would not want to
    loose by re-applying the clips to the timeline.  Are you saying that the
    edits would remain in tact and that theoriginal video and audio with
    edits would be replace?  Also, you should know that some of the final SB
    effects that I added (which were not added to the audio clips) contained
    other SB effects that were retain and had to do with filtering noise and
    very lager gain adjustments which I would NOT want to loose just to
    recover the more subtle effects lost in the last SB effects I wanted to add.
    So my concerning is replacing what is on the time line now with raw
    files in the project panel.
    Does that help in explaining my concerns?
    Thanks again!!

  • Dynamic Link with PP/After Effects CS5 question

    So, first time using After Effects ever. Absolutely loving it, can't wait to really learn this program.
    Anyways, my situation.
    I have a 15 second commercial I'm editing with Premiere Pro CS5 on my MacBook Pro. The second to last shot, I initially right clicked the clip in the timeline and selected "Replace With After Effects Composition." I did some motion graphics on this shot, and I'm pretty sure when I was done, I rendered the timeline in PP which synced back into PP what I did in AE. I believe at that time I closed AE completely without saving the composition.
    Now I still have this shot in my PP timeline and it still has the AE effects I added, but I do not believe there is any saved AE file that references that composition. Whenever I click "Replace With After Effects" it just opens a new linked composition, but instead of any footage and animation, there is just a big color bar screen.
    Is there any way to still edit this composition in AE? What is the proper way to save files linked between PP/AE so you can completely close both programs and open them later and still edit the composition?

    See, that's what I would think to, but I'm almost sure I did not save the linked comp in AE.
    Not on my computer now, but I could check on lunch.
    I guess I could just create a dummy project in PP, open a linked comp thru Dynamic Link, do a few changes in AE, render/sync to PP, and then close AE w/o saving and see what happens?
    Are there any good walkthroughs you guys are aware of? I'm reading how pre-CS5, Dynamic Link was really only a "one-way" street, but that has changed in CS5.

  • Dynamic link with After Effects workflow questions... (exporting from PPro)

    I have CS5 Master on Win7 x64 pc
    I have a Premiere sequence with an AE linked comp in it...
    If I am using proxies (created at high quality, not low) or pre-renders (in AE comp), would that have any affect on render/export times in Premiere Pro (or Adobe Media Encoder)?
    What is the best workflow for having AE comps in Premiere to maximize export times in PPro?
    Thanks all!

    Umm... sure? To be perfectly honest, I've never tried it!
    As it is, I don't think that's the case; you can set a post-render action in AE to import the rendered file back into your project, but I don't think there's an automatic replacement or addition to the existing comp. You'd have to do that manually. But given that, if you're already rendering out a finished comp, why not just import it into Premiere Pro and forget about the Dynamic Link?
    A proxy in AE is essentially a low-resolution version of a footage item, not a finished comp. So short of doing a bait-and-switch where you build your comp, render it out of AE, import the rendered file back in, and put it as a layer into the finished comp (on top, presumably, since that will basically null the rendering of the other layers below), I don't believe there is a more straightforward workflow.

  • Operate Dynamic Link Across Multiple Workstations?

    Right now I'm in the middle of designing the workflow and post-production pipeline for my school's film class. At the heart of the pipeline site Dynamic Link, and its interaction with After Effects, Audition, and Speedgrade. My question whether it's possible to have a multi-computer setup and spread the DL assets across users. For example, User #1 is the Premiere editor, #2 is Ae, and #3 is Au. The editor creates a Premiere project with a separate sequence for each scene. She cuts Scene one, then makes an DL Ae comp for all of the vfx clips, before moving on to Scene 2. #2 then opens the Ae project on his computer and begins comping while #1 is working on the other scene. He finishes the comp, then saves the project and closes Ae. Meanwhile, #3 is working in Au for audio files in Scene 1 while #1 is cutting Scene 2 and #2 is working on comps for Scene 1. This process repeats for all scenes before approved Audio/VFX comps are approved and rendered losslessly to replace the DL's as intermediate files.
    I apologize if this sounds a little complicated, a drawn graph would have worked better. But is a process like this possible, with storage options like a shared external closure in RAID 5 or 10 for hosting all clips and projects, with a separate per user disk for caching, etc, or is it just not possible with the way DL is currently set up with CC 2014? Thanks in advance for responding!

    RoninEdits has done a good job of helping you through this... He/she has certainly been a massive help around here but I don't know the editing setup experience he/she has. I certainly learn a lot from reading through the comments!
    I couldn't agree more, this guy has been a major help on pretty much all of my few threads
    A standard problem in setting up any editing machine is the disc in/out read/write/cache is massive in PrPro, at times nastier in SpeedGrade, and beyond belief in Ae. Audition can be a hog at times but typically in my system is faster to process through something than the others.
    So ... one oft uses say either 4 or more local discs past the system/OS disc, or a system/OS disc & maybe a second cache disc and then a 4/5 disc RAID array for high-speed throughput for the read/write/cache/database work. Follow?
    Now ... lets put that over a single connection on a NAS. I don't have the experience that others have with this, but I wonder (from having read posts about NAS systems and lags in playback & such) ... will this be the best editing solution? I've also heard of editing houses where each machine has several hot-swapping disc options available, and people use the old sneaker-net system to move say the footage disc forth and back to various users. Or even say 3-4 discs of any projects contents.
    If I understand correctly, this is pretty much exactly what I intended to do with my setup. Each machine (3 of them) would have an SSD for Windows/Apps, an SSD Cache drive, and a mechanical disk for storing data if need be. Then I would have a Synology DS415+ with 4x2TB WD Red Pro drives in a RAID 5. This would be hooked up over a Gb network (school owned) and would connect to the workstations with Link Aggregation (LACP) to achieve a theoretical 2GbE bandwith connection to each machine (roughly 250MB/s). The NAS would store all of the projects, source footage, audio, and other materials that could then be copied over to the systems' local drives, or have new materials copied to it. That way all editors would have access to all of the source material simultaneously versus having to have one external drive and keep swapping it out among editors to copy files. I was hoping that MPE/DL would work cross station through the NAS, but that doesn't look like that'll be the case, unfortunately.

    as long as premiere picks up the changes with a restart, or re-opening of the project, then no swap would be needed and all is ready for export.  if you are looking at having the ae editor do a separate render and bringing that back into premiere, you may also want to look at doing a complete non-dynamic link workflow, even if just to teach both ways. by keeping the vfx shots on another track, its easy to keep track of them. this also makes it possible to nest those clips and then use the project manager, selecting just the vfx nested sequence to consolidate and transcode. this way it will trim down the clip to just the part needed, but also should use the option to add handles.  in a few clicks all the vfx clips are ready made to be sent to the ae editor. can then use the offline/relink command to bring the new clips back in.
    This was one workflow I was considering. I was trying to avoid having the main editor closing and reopening a project every time something was changed just to view it in the middle of their editing, but rendering intermediates looks like it's going to be the best bet. No full-res clips till they're finalized. I'm going to go through and do some personal practice just to figure out what feels best for the class, but non-DL looks where I'm headed. My main point behind using it was so that the Compositor wouldn't have to load a full clip into AE, where using DL it would have already been cut to the way it looked in Premiere and have a comp per shot in one scene file, but it looks like your idea would give the exact same result, just in a slightly different appearance in AE. By that I mean Pre-Comp each shot once AE opens and work from there. Thanks for the tip Ronin!

  • How to create a dynamic link in a Form to link to a specific FOLDER

    Hello,
    I have created a reports of all employees of my department.
    This reports shows me the empno and ename
    When I clicked on a empno ( for example empno = 1 ) then then I got a MASTER DETAIL FORM about that employee(empno = 1) .
    Who he or she is and which course he or she had followed.
    I want create a dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM which shows me directly the folder of that employee ( in this example folder 1 ).
    If I clickt on the report with all employees of my department on an other number ( for example empno = 3333333) then if I click on the dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM I want to see the folder of employee 3333333 !!! You know what I mean ?
    What I want to know is, how to create a dynamic link that shows me directly a folder which is dependent on which empno I had clicked on in the report ( report with employee numbers and ename )
    Is there any way to pass some parameters into a link to a Folder ? Is this possible in Portal ? Does anyone know how to do this, or do you have a suggestion how to solve this problem ?
    Thanks a lot !!!
    Chu Lam

    Hi Chetan,
    I am glad that someone had replied on my question.
    I will explain it to you again.
    I have created a report that shows me all employees. If I click on a employee number then I get an MASTER DETAIL FORM on my screen with all the information(where he works now and which number I have to dial ifhow can I reach him by telephone) of that employee on which number I clicked on.
    I really like this mechanism. (You click on a number and the information that you see in the next screen is dependent of the number you clicked on ! )I have created all this. It works fine.
    What I want is to expand this example.
    Every employee has a FOLDER (yes, those ones in Content Area ) which they can insert text or image into that folder. The folder name is just the employee number. ( employee with employee number 3303, he owns a folder which is named 3303 and an employee with empno 9999, he or she owns a folder with the name 9999. )
    Every employee can tell more about himself in that FOLDER by iserting text and images. For example : What he likes, pictures of his vacation, something like this.
    What I want is this :
    If I click on the first report,which provides me all employees on screen, on a employee number 3303 then I get a Master Detail Form on my screen with all information about that employee with employee number 3303. And I want in this MASTER DETAIL FORM to create a link that shows me directly the FOLDER of that employee ( 3303), so I can learn more about employee with employee number 3303. But I don't know how to create this link.
    That link had to be dependent on the employee number. The difficult thing about this link is that this link had to be dynamic.
    I hope this will make it clear to you :
    (report all employees:)
    empno ename
    3301 john smith
    3302 peter clark
    3303 wilson jones
    If I click on a empno ( for example 3303) then I get a MASTER DETAIL FORM which provides me information.
    (MASTER DETAIL FORM )
    EMPNO 3303
    ENAME wilson jones
    department New York
    mobile number 98908763
    Company tel. no day
    AOL 097485838 monday till wednesday
    Oracle 04848584333 thursday and friday
    LINK
    (what I want is to create a link here )
    If I click on LINK in this MASTER DETAIL FORM then I want to link to the FOLDER of this employee ! ( In this example it is FOLDER 3303.
    BUT IF I CLICKED ON THE FIRST REPORT ON A DIFFERENT NUMBER ( FOR EXAMPLE 3301) THEN IF I CLICK ON LINK IN THE MASTER DETAIL FORM THEN I HAVE TO LINKED TO FOLDER 3301.
    I just want to know how to make a link like this ( create a dynamic link to a specific folder ).
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Overriding automatic replacing of AE projects with incremental file names in Dynamic Link (CS5.5)

    Hi everyone,
    I've been searching all corners of the internet for an answer to this question including this forum and the Adobe help documents, so I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.
    First off, we're using Premiere Pro CS5.5. We have recently switched from a FCP6 to a Premiere workflow and we're really enjoying the Adobe Dynamic Link feature. Unfortunately, we've discovered a bit of a problem with our workflow.
    All our AE projects are named something like "heb_alef_01.aep", "heb_alef_02.aep", "kor_hhh_01.aep", "kor_hhh_02.aep". These don't correspond to different versions of the same videos, but rather ...01.aep is video #1 and ...02.aep is video #2.
    You can probably see how this causes a problem when it runs into Premiere's feature of automatically updating project files if it finds an exact filename match in that directory with a higher number at the end. If I try to import "kor_hhh_01.aep" it will instead give me "kor_hhh_02.aep", for example.
    I noticed that in CS6, a checkbox has been added to the Preferences pane which will prevent this from automatically happening, but I wanted to know if any options exist for Premiere CS5.5 users. If necessary we can adjust our file naming structure, but I really didn't want to deal with the far-reaching implications of that if possible.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Are each of these different AE project files pointing to clips within the same Pr project?  (Seems like that may be the case..?)  If so, it is highly recommended to only have 1 AE project per Pr project, and just have that include all of the comps corresponsing to the clips in Pr.  Then, when re-opening the Pr file, click on "edit original" on any of the DL clips which will open your AE project, and any subsequent DLs that you send over will stay in your original AE project. 
    Disregard if I mis-read your problem and my advice is irrelevant.

  • I'm getting a "The procedure entrypoint ssSr192x__​ssSr192drv​ssSrReset could no be located in the dynamic link library ssSR192x.d​ll" because the ActiveX instrument driver DLL doesn't have the function names in the export table.

    Is there a way for my CVI project to reference the functions in the ActiveX without including the instrument .fp in the project?
    Thanks much.
    I'm confused on how CVI uses ActiveX components and hope someone can help.
    I'm using an ActiveX driver from an instrument manufacturer and I use the .TLB to generate a .fp, .c, and .h file. If I register the .dll and load the .fp in my project, all is well. Unfortunately in my application the functions to control this instrument are in another DLL whose .lib I include in my CVI projec
    t. Running the CVI project this way gives me "The procedure entrypoint ssSr192x__ssSr192drvssSrReset could no be located in the dynamic link library ssSR192x.dll" because the instrument function names aren't in the export table in the instrument DLL. Non-ActiveX DLLs have the export tables so everything works for them.
    Program structure with non-ActiveX DLLs:
    CVI project (.exe with common.lib in project list)
    |
    V
    Common DLL (MeasDMM() with hp1234.lib in project list)
    |
    V
    Instrument DLL (hp1234_measure())
    Since I get a .c and .h file from the .TLB, I've tried recompiling the DLL (.dll and .lib produced) and the functions seem to work, but I get "Class not registered" errors unless I play games with the registry so I'm obviously violating numerous Microsoft rules!
    Is there a way for my CVI project to reference the functions in the ActiveX without including the instrument .fp in the project? Thanks much.

    Hello Jeff,
    Where were your getting the .lib file for the ActiveX DLL? Did you use the "hp1234"
    ActiveX driver generated by the "Create ActiveX Automation Controller" CVI Tool to build a static library? If you open an include file and choose Options >> Generate DLL..., it will generate source code or a static import library to load the specified DLL and load functions specified in the include file (this only works if the functions are exported from a DLL). However, in the case of our ActiveX Automation Controllers, ActiveX calls are used to access a DLL. This means that you do not need an import library. You should be able to open the "hp1234" source file and click Options >> Create Object File. Simply #include "hp1234.h" and add "hp1234.obj" to your Common DLL project;
    the .fp file is not necessary. If this does not answer your questions or if you experience further difficulty, please post further details on what you are doing and the errors that are being encountered ("play games with the registry" and "recompiling 'the' DLL" are a bit vague in this case).
