Dynamic link in AE is blank/black

Has anyone else ran into this issue and have found a fix?? I am trying to link Premiere CS5.5 with AE 5.5 and the dynamic link always comes up blank or black in AE. See photo.
I've already tried setting the background in AE to black, changing Renderer mode in Premiere to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only, deactivating and then reactivating the software, reinstalled Premiere AFTER AE (seperately), reinstalled the entire suite...none of these have fixed the problem!! ;(
I"m running the CS5.5 Master Collection and Premiere CS5.5.2 with updates that are suppose to help fix some of these isses but have still have no luck. Can anyone suggesstion something that might help?

Okay I'm getting errors when I try to import files in AE directly. I wasn't having this issue a few days ago.. dang! Error is:
After Effects Warning: Error with file.
I'm just trying to import a .MOV file. Does it sound like I'm having issues with AE and not Premiere?
I was able to use dynamic link in AE to import my Premiere project, BUT I can't edit it because its the full project as one file. So when I put effects on one scene, it affects the whole project. In addition, when I drag or import my AE composition (with effects) to Premiere the footage comes up as color bars. So it does sound like AE is my problem.

Pr CC Dynamic linked media is creating blank compositions on AE CC

I'm sending individual Jpegs from a PR CC Timeline - Selecting each clip and going to File> Adobe Dynamic Link > Create new AE Composition - AE CC opens and creates the composition, but it has no clips/Jpegs on it ( i tried with a prores.mov file and the result was the same) Please Help - I have updated and restared the machine (Apple mac pro)

When I drag a sequence that is a lot less complex to AE CC from PR CC, It works ok. So I guess the complexity of the sequence matters or some things like keyframes or transitions just don't link.

Exporting video from media encoder. Half of the video export other half goes blank/black

Hi! I'm in need of help I've been trying to export this video to media encoder for about 20days now. I'm working with premiere pro cs5.5 and after effects cs5.5-
Dynamic link, I've updated the two and everything, every time I try to export my video half willl export and I believe after effects crashes and thats when the other
half of the video goes blank/black, this happens everytime, it's very frustrating and I don't know what is causing this. it actually just started.
it also does this on cs5 as well.
I am working on windows 7 HPE-510y Hewlett-Packard computer
14gb of ram

Have you checked the output in AME? I always check that before I hit go to make sure that I haven't fouled something up and that the in and out points are what I want. I spot check all along the timeline.
I'm thinking that you have some parts of the Premiere Pro project that are shots or sequences that have been "Replaced with After Effects Composotion." If this is the case, does the blackness happen in one of these shots? If it does I'd suggest trying to render that shot in AE and replace it in the PPro Timeline. If After Effects is really crashing you'll be able to find out why.
A little more detail about your project would also help.

After Effects CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

Dynamic link problem, PPro cs5 - AE cs5, multi-cam sequence

This is odd. I'm working on a two camera interview in Production Premium CS5. Did the standard stuff - a source sequence with both cameras, did some rough editing here (syncing the two cameras, trimming the clips, etc.). Then nested the source sequence into a multi-cam edit sequence. Used the multi-cam monitor to switch back and forth between cameras, etc. All is good.
But my editor wants to make three separate videos from this interview. So the logical thing (so I thought anyway) would be to nest this muiti-cam edit squence into three separate target sequences. Then I could get the camera switching done just once, and slice-'n-dice the three target sequences to make the short-'n-sweet individual videos that make my editor happy. Did this for the first target (a single question and answer). The result looks fine in PPro, and editor approves. All that's left is adding the lower thirds.
Everything fine until I go to export to AE via dynamic link so I can add lower thirds and finish up. What PPro sends to AE isn't just my target sequence, but it also sends the multi-cam edit sequence and the source sequence as well. But.... it ignores it all and will only show me the Acam footage. Bcam doesn't show up at all. Clearly this isn't working. But now I find that I can't even break the links. So I can't even start over. Sigh...
Two questions: First, how does one export a multi-cam edit sequence via dynamic link from PPro to AE, and have it show up in AE looking like it does in PPro? In other words, what did I do wrong?
Second, how can I recover from this? Do I really have to delete my target sequence in PPro and start over (and by extension, delete the AE project also)? Is there no way to sever a dynamic link once it's made?
Bruce Watson

Um.... didn't work. Seems that AE and PPro have different ideas of what "transparency" mean. The lower thirds composition in AE has a transparent (black) background which works fine in AE (I've used this lower thirds quite a bit in AE so I know it works pretty well), but when I import it into PPro it shows as white, and is completely opaque. Lettering doesn't show up either (but the letters are white so that's not such a surprise given the background), but the motion is still there. None-the-less, either way I tried it (copy and paste, or export from AE as a PPro project, then import it in PPro and drag the AE built sequence to the timeline) didn't work.
Trying to export just the lower third comp from AE through dynamic link as a PPro project didn't work either. Failed weirdly. It popped up the right sequence creation box in PPro, so I could pick AVCHD 1080p30 as the sequence type (matching the other sequences in the project), and created the new sequence with the correct name. But the sequence was empty. It wouldn't let me drag the lower third sequence anywhere either, so I couldn't put it on a timeline.
Sigh... this isn't supposed to be this difficult. But hey, if it was easy anyone could do it, yes?

No Audio with Dynamic Link

I've got a clip from After Effects CS3 that is dynamically linked to my Premiere Pro project. The clip has audio in After Effects and it's turned on, but the audio shows up blank in Premiere Pro. Just wondering if there is something special I need to do to get the clip's audio to work in Premiere Pro.
Thanks

>As a work around, you could always just overwrite the DL Comp's audio in the sequence with the original audio file.
I thought about that, but I was hoping to find an answer to the issue so I didn't have to do that every time.
>Additionally, what is the audio file in AE? Does that file conform to
your project settings in Premiere? Or have you dropped an MP3 file on a
into the layer window in AE?
It's just an SD DV video clip of an interview that was captured into Premiere Pro from a miniDV tape and I took it into AE to cover up something in the background. The audio plays fine in the original clip. The audio works fine in AE when I do a RAM Preview or use the num pad "." to play it back.
Harm, what additional information did you want? I thought I explained my issue pretty well, but let me know what else I should have included so that I can make sure and include it next time.

Prem. Pro to After Effects Dynamic Link Results in Empty Comp

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a setting that I've screwed up, but since the last CC update, whenever I right click a clip or group of clips in a PP timeline and choose "replace with After Effects Composition," I am getting a blank comp and no files imported into After Effects. The dynamically linked project DOES show up inside of Premiere, so we're ok from that end.
Before anyone redirects me, I found a similar post to this previously, but the issue seemed to be different than the problem I'm having and I have tried the suggested fix in that post, anyway, with no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Yes. It turned out that when I last updated my creative cloud, one of the two programs had not completed updating to the newest version (I forget whether it was Premiere or After Effects). After I ran a complete update for both programs and restarted the computer, the problem was solved. Hope this helps!

PP to AE Dynamic link doesn't create video layer in AE

PP to AE Dynamic link doesn't create video layer in AE. CC2014 updated.
I'm DynLink sending a MotionJpeg clip from PP to AE. On my MacPro, Right clicking clip in PPro> replace with AE Comp. AE opens showing the comp but no video layer in the comp, (the comp is completely blank), and in PPro shows a comp in the Project Panel and a blank video chip in the timeline. This used to be a simple proceedure, is there a setting to enable in Project Settings I don't know about. New to CC, used to do this all the time in CS6.

It looks like you've got collapse transformations turned on and that the Footage layer is a composition. I'd guess that the Maria Isabel.avi in the Maria Isabel.avi composition is 2D. With Collapse transformations turned on what you are seeing is normal behavior.
What you want to do is to simply right click on the Maria avi in the Premiere timeline and select Replace with After Effects Composition. Once inside AE don't pre-compose the avi layer, just make it 3D.
The other option would be to open up the Maria Isabel.avi composition and do your 3D transformations there.
Yet another option wold be to turn off Collapse transformations.
I'm not sure why the Maria Isabel.avi footage was Pre-comped. I can't see anytning in the screenshot that gives me a reason.

After rendering a Dynamic Link section in Premiere, can I re-edit?

The premise...
I had finished my After Effects portion of the dynamic link process and naturally, wanted to see how it jibed with visual elements in my premiere project. But there was a problem with the delay in play-back as the effects were not able to play in real-time in Premiere. It was sticking or stuttering or would just get stuck where that orange bar kept filling left to right.. Btw, my computer has plenty of power and meets the requirements. I also, lowered all the playback features to the lowest denominators like quarter resolution, half, reolution etc..
So i had no choice but to render just only that liniked section.
Afterwards, it played beautifully, of course. But now I want to make some edits and tweaks, and this is where my contention lies.
MY QUESTION is: how do I go back n' forth from PR and AE to watch and re-watch and edit, do I un-render it, then render again, or do I throw it away (the rendered version) and upon doing so, will that section reappear because the link will remember it?
Does it re-link again, if i choose to delete it? But that doesn't make sense because I had to choose that area first in Premeire THEN drop it in AE, thereby linking it as the source. So if I threw it away, would After effects go blank?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks ahead of time..
Best,
Drew

I too am tinkering with Dynamic Link recently. My question is similar to Drew's, but in a different form.
Lets say, once your done in AE and go back to PrP, and you want to edit the original layered material in PrP to add another shot or two to your effected AE comp. I understand in PrP you can right click on the linked AE clip and choose edit original, but that does not bring in all of your projects media files to AE. Just the clips you previously had selected before linking.
How would one get back to the original PrP sequence before you "linked" for AE? (like clicking a nest sequence to open all your layers). Is the only way to save a copy of your original sequence before linking?
Thanks,
Pete

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!

Todd_Koprivas
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 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 ...
