Dynamic Link from Premiere to After Effects causing 'Zoom' controls not to function...

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 with a Dynamic link to an After Effects CS5 composition and I'm having some real issues with zoom control (once I'm in AE). When I run the composition 1 or 2 times the zoom function (ctrl +/-) will work, but after a few run through's it doesn't function at all. Even trying to manually change the zoom by clicking won't work. This happens EVERY time I use a dynamic link -- anyone else having this issue? (It also won't allow me to render... but I can see my comp move when I scrub through with the mouse).
Also, when I create the same composition w/o the dynamic link everything works perfectly... (I just don't want to have to re-render it out... which is why I would like Dynamic Link to work properly).
Here's what I'm running;
Windows 7 Pro - 64bit
Core i7-960
24GB DDR3
x2 300GB 10k RPM HD
ATI 4790 1GB
Thanks,
Drew

Mylenium, Todd,
Thanks for your suggestions. I've updated all of my 3rd party software drivers, as well as AECS5 and it seemed to work... for an extra 10 minutes. I ended up turning off OpenGL (as directed above) and that has seemed to help as well (although render playback seems to suffer). I will test for another few hours and hopefully it will continue to work.
I was also able to replicate the problem on my laptop with the same proceedures... perhaps it's the ATI card that's causing the issue... but it doesn't seem to be a one-time event. (Although it's causing my laptop to crash now mid-render).
Cheers,
D

Dynamic Link from Premiere to After Effects (Source footage keeps erasing)

I am using Premiere cs4 and when I right clip on a clip on my sequence and hit (Replace with After Effects Composition) It opens it up with after effects. That part works. I also can make changes in After effects to the clip and I go back to Premiere and the changes are made. The problem is when I close After effects, in my premiere project the file that I changed in after effects goes offline and It is only color bars. If I open up the after effects project again it also shows that the source footage I edited is offline.
How do I fix this issue. All I want to do is take a couple clips in my premiere project and edit them in after effects. How do I keep it through the dynamic link and keep it saved even when after effects is closed?? Or if I have to reopen after effects how do I make it so the footage loads back in?
Please help!
Thanks

Hellow Kate
Now that worked for me 2! Thank you very much for the advice. Hope they fix this serious issue in the CS5 edition that is announced.
Otherwise I think the adobe-software is not wurth that amount of money. Indeed, it's very incredible software with great tools. But
such problems can not be tolerated...
Hope they do something about it!
Kind regards

Dynamic Link for Premiere and After Effects CS4 with Titles

I've created a Rolling Title in Premiere Pro CS4. I'd like to create a Dynamic Link to bring the title into After Effects CS4 to add effects that will show up in Premiere. I've watched a few video tutorials on Dynamic Link and read the documentation and tried a variety of permutations but can't seem to get this done.
Also saw something in these forums about problems using Dynamic Link with Titles (as opposed to regular clip??)
And something about Premiere and After Effects projects being saved together ??in same folder - is that correct?
So, could someone explain if this can be done and the right way to do it?
Thanks

Thanks Mylenium - appreciate the quick and focused reply.
I would like to keep the benefits of the Premiere Pro Titler (to play with the length of time by stretching or squashing the Title block on the timeline; to type in time to stay on screen at end; ease in and out etc . . .). If I do render out a png / tiff / or psd sequence with alpha, and bring that into AFX to play with. Will I still retain the ability to use the Titler features in Premire Pro, or do I essentially have to convert it to 'regular footage' on reimport as opposed to a 'Title?"
Thanks

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!

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.

Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow.

Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow. About 10 minutes or so. I usually measure the time by hands of Solitaire, min 3 wins. I've trashed prefs, OS and apps all updated, run system maintenance. I'm at a loss. This workflow isn't working for me. Please give me some troubleshooting ideas.

yeah thats basically it, you could leave premiere open but save and close the project before opening it up in speedgrade. if you are going to be in speedgrade a while, its best to just close premiere so it doesn't tie up any system resources sitting in the background. the dynamic link buttons/commands in premiere and speedgrade just save, close, and open in other program. so once you do your work in speedgrade save the project, close, then open it back in premiere and it should all be there.

Dynamic Link from Premiere freezes at 50%

I have never used the dynamic link from Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 so I don't know if this feature has ever worked. I tried to send just a 25 minute unedited timeline to Encore to see if it worked. Encore goes through it's features but freeze at 50% at transporting timeline. Any ideas?

I may have answered my own question. I finually did get it to work, maybe by chance. I msconfig and cleaned out my start up menue and that seems to have cured it.

Dynamic link from Premiere CC 2014 to Audition CC 2014

When I dynamic link to audition and save and go back to premiere it saves my files to my
user folder instead of saving it to my project folder where I’m working from. I have not found a way to specify the folder to save back to. You would think it would save the file back to the folder where the original was.
And if I save them straight to my desired folder I have to import those files into premiere and relink them.
How can this be fixed… any ideas what to do?

Dynamic Link from Premiere CS4

When I export Premiere to AE, the composition icon in AE but nothing else.No associated video files, etc. I double-click it or drag it into the timeline area - nothing happens. However, I am able import a Premiere project frm within AE and I can do all those things - but Dynamic Link is not involved. Can I link the two after the fact?

I don't really get what you are saying. For DynamicLink, you do not export anything, you open the saved Premiere Pro project using the DynamicLink option in the import dialog. Upon doing so, you will be prompted with what sequence to use and that's all. If you are referring to creating a AE comp from Premiere using Replace with AE Composition, then that's a different thing. In either case, however, the AE project must be saved in the same location as the Premiere project for things to show up properly.

Getting the Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro to AE

I read the dynamic link process in the Pr Pro on line ref manual BUT I'm just not getting easily as they say.
In Premiere I have edited my clips and they are on the time line in a sequence.
I want to take the edited clips, that are on the time line, individually into AE to do my effects and color correction.
I know to go to File >Dynamic Link>New AE Comp--- but the problem is that when I get the empty AE linked Comp I can only import the unedited clip from Pre Pro. What am I doing wrong??? is there a way to copy the clip from the time line an put into the AE comp. I did try to do that by simply copy and paste but the clip that ends up in AE is not readable. I pasted it into the timeline window of AE, it shows up but contains nothing. When I double click on it I get and error message saying invalid Quick time movie
I am on a Mac usign CS4
Thank U

OK its more than a year later since I originally posted this question.
I've been using the Dymanic Link method since that time, but recently read about pasting the Pre Pro sequenct into AE and remembered your suggestion of pasting instead. My work flow has been 1) Make Rough Edit version in Pre Pro, 2) Take each clip seqment individually into AE through Dynamic Link and dow what ever needs to be done; and 3) Render out the refined Sequence in Pre Pro.
So, If I am working on a project and in Pre Pro and I have lets say 5 video and audio layers and the entire sequence is 5 min. long, its best to IMPORT the Pre Pro Sequence into AE and work on that WHOLE 5 min project in AE.
I guess that I would end up doing a lot of pre-composing for each layer to keep the AE project from becoming 100 layers deep (even thought I have heard about 100 layers deep, I'm not trying to go there)
Is this the way most professional people work? what I mean is this the most efficient way to work: Dymanic Link for small fixes and Importing Pre Pro Sequence and/or video tracks for longer or larger works.
thanks

Problem with sound when import from Premiere into After Effects

Hi!
I imported a sequence from a Premiere Pro project using File -> Import -> Adobe Premiere Project...
The video in the sequence showed up in the After Effects project as a composition. However, the composition did not include the sound from the sequence! Is there a way to keep the sound from the sequence upon import into After Effects?
Thanks

i`m sorry about the screenshot size, but i could only upload pics with 605 px width.
Nevertheless it seems that you saved my day. looks like it was all about the scale to framesize thing.
thank you so much!!!!

Dynamic link from premiere pro

Usually when i dynamic link to audition and save and go back to premiere it saves my files to my project folder im working from.
Something has changed and they save elsewhere, if I move the files to the project folder it stuffs up premiere wanting to reconnect everything..
And if I save them straight to my desired folder I have to import those files into premiere, frustrating me
Any ideas what I can do.?

I also need help with this. Whenever I dynamicly link is saves the new AA wav file next to where my PP proj file is. I don't want it to do this I want to save it to where all my media is. Is there really no way to tell audition to default save extracted audio from premiere to a certain location?.
The extracted WAV file is generated by Premiere, in this case, and Audition doesn't have any control over where it is saved. You can submit a feature request directly to Premiere by visiting https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Dynamic link from premiere to speedgrade not working, constantly crashing

Hello,
please help me. I'm trying to color correct my video in Speedgrade (I'm not using 4k files).
When I try to send the project from Premiere CC to Speedgrade whit dynamic link, everything seems fine, except that when the project finishes to be downloaded from SG, it crashes.
And it's the same if I try to open a random video clip from inside SG. I open it, put it in the timeline, but when I click on Looks, it crashes.
All the videos I'm using are quicktime, h.264.
Thanks a lot

The Direct Link process should totally bypass Sg's preferences and "needs" as far as frame-rates & sizes & such not. But clearly this whole issue is affecting people with a variety of gear, and it doesn't seem to care if it's a newish or oldish video card. So they've a quirk in their code to deal with.
Not that Sg deals with framerates perfectly all the time ... I've been having a devil of a time the last couple weeks with any attempt to export an EDL into Sg from PrPro. Footage reads as 29.97 ... sequence is 29.97 ... and the EDL is 29.97. But Sg insists that the EDL is 30 fps ... and even though it's got that bit in the prefs to account for such things if there really IS a difference ... "if edl is x & footage is frame-rate above conform to rate below" and all ... haven't been able to get Sg to accept the EDL. It will play the first 5-6 seconds of each clip & then the monitor goes black and it says "Media out of range" ... funsies.
Given the number of times or reasons one might need an EDL approach in emergency situations ... or as I was and a number of others are still trapped into because of this bug ... I've been trying to figure this bugger out. Still trying ...

Encore keeps freezing when I use dynamic link from premiere. Any thoughts?

I just got done editing my sequence in Premiere Pro CS6. I've added my chapter markers and sent to Encore via Dynamic Link. Once I choose my project name and location it begins the import. At 50% it freezes. I've tried it on multiple machines and hard drives. I've done this a million times before and have now just run into issues. Any thoughts?
I'm working on a 2010 Mac Pro and a 2013 Macbook Pro (non retina)

You'll have a much better chance asking your question in the Encore forum. There are not many Encore users who venture here. This forum is for general Creative Suite questions.

No dynamic link from premiere cc to audition cc

Under EDIT menu I have no option to edit 'clip', onlu sequence. Audition doesn't link up. What could be wrong?

I had a similar problem myself today, My 'Edit in Audition' was greyed out.
My problem is the .sesx (Audition Project files) are not associated with Audition within Windows.
Solution:
Find or make an Audition .sesx file (I found one in "My Documents\Adobe\Audition\6.0\")
and make sure that file extention is assoicated with (or opens with...) Audition.
Restart PPro.
Not if I Right-Click a clip, the 'Edit with..' is available.
