Dynamic link to After Effects problem

My computer crashed a little while ago, and we had to reload the system, but no data was lost.
The project i am working on, has every single shot dynamicly linked to After Effects.
The links held up fine, but there is one problem, about 10 shots have some how recut them selves, and or have been shortend. The funny thing is, is that some how the audio still matches up. I cant seem to figure out how to solve this problem.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated,
-Izzy

Just an update:
With disc utilities I repaired the permissions.
I reinstalled cs5 production premium.
I updated it to the actual version (flash occured an error, but the other ones were fine)
I opend the project: no links to most of the media.
I relinkt all media - except the dynamic links to After Effects. That just doesn't work.
I saved the project on a different drive with a different name.
Opend the new project and - again - most of the files didn't link again! Missing more than 10.000 links to jpegs, psds, mxfs.
I opend the new and the old project on another mac - same results.
I think, repairing permissions with disc utility doesn't affect Adobe's software (Apple says that some 3rd Party Applicaton might not be affected.)
I found a workflow for repairing permissions in the case of updating-failure, but I didn't try that, as I don't want to make things worse.
Is there a way to repair CS5 permissions "internal"?
Thanks in advance,
Philipp

Dynamic Link from After Effects CC to Premiere Pro CC Performance Issues

I just updated my After Effects and Premiere Pro to CC and since doing so I've found numerous performance issues. One that is seriously hurting my workflow is the poor performance of the dynamic link with After Effects compositions into Premiere Pro. In CS6, you could make a change to the AE composition, save it, click over to Premiere Pro and it would quickly update and you can play your timeline and preview your changes. You could also move the clips around and add cross dissolves and watch the changes quickly in Premiere Pro CS6. Now, since updating to CC, if you save the composition in AE and click over to Premiere Pro it won't update on its own. Sometimes it just shows a single frame of the AE composition. I found that if you right click and "Edit Original", go into AE and then click back over to Premiere Pro and it will finally update. But if you make any changes to the placement of the AE composition on the timeline, or add a cross dissolve, fade, etc. it again won't play the AE composition any longer. After you make any changes to the AE composition you have to right click and go to "Edit Original", go into AE, and then click back over to Premiere Pro.. Then it will finally update.

Thanks Kevin.
Unfortunately in my case the export doesn't solve the issue. The video only looks good while in the composition... I've tried exporting it in all the different formats with several codecs, but to no avail...

Rendering from Premiere Pro Dynamic Link vs After Effects = fast vs slow?

So I'm doing graphics for a show using a fake 3D look in Adobe After Effects CC 2014.1. In segment 1 there are about 30 fonts that display for about 3-4 seconds each. Technically it's just a bunch of 2D layers of text, not a real tricky or intensive thing.
In my Premiere timeline, things render pretty quickly in the sequence. The show is composed of RED R3D 6K files, AJA KiPro quicktime files and some AVCHD stuff. Sequence timeline is 1080i29.97 for broadcast delivery. The sequence is rendering out to ProRes422 HQ. With no graphics, even the RED 6K files render out snappy. So I've brought these new graphics in as a Dynamic Link file. When I try to render out the graphics things get SUPER slow. Inordinately so. I don't get it. I thought the new "Render and Replace" would speed things up (great feature) however that seems to make things just as slow. So now I'm rendering out of After Effects the old fashioned way (each font is a 10 second file or so) with an alpha channel. I chose the 8-bit Cineform codec w/ alpha channel. Things rendered out, as expected, very quickly. A few minutes and all 42 fonts I built were done.
So what I don't get is why render and replace is so much slower than manually rendering straight out from After Effects CC 2014.1. Based on the time stamps from a "render and replace" process I did overnight - it took about 6 hours to render out a handful of graphics. I rendered out twice the amount straight from After Effects CC 2014.1 this morning in like 5-10 minutes. Isn't render & replace basically just rendering stuff out straight from After Effects (or AME) in the background and then just popping it in your timeline? If that's what is supposed to be happening, I don't understand the discrepancy in time. I'll bring the rendered out files into Premiere and see how quickly that video renders over the original video.
I just wanted to throw this out there to see if I'm missing some obvious thing or if this is as expected behavior.

What, exact, version of CC 2014 do you have?
How long have you used AE?
When did this problem start?
Have you tried rebooting your machine?

Premiere Pro exports fail to recognize changes made to Dynamic Link through After Effects

Hi there,
I am having an issue with Premiere Pro CC and Dynamic Links/After Effects CC.
I will be working within the PP CC timeline using footage, and then add motion graphics using Adobe Dynamic Link to AE CC. I notice an error in timing, or spelling, colouring - literally any type of error in AE CC that I want to correct. I go to AE CC and make the correction, go back to PP CC, and it shows up as changed. I go back to AE CC, purge media cache, memory, etc. and save the workfile. I go back to PP CC and export using Media Encoder. After waiting for the export to complete, I find it maintained the same error from a previous edit.
Does anyone know why this would be? Is there any way to avoid having to restart every time I make a small change to an edit?
Thank you in advance for any insight.

It has now happened to myself and my co-worker. The only way we have been able to "solve" the problem is by deleting cache/restarting both programs/restarting the entire computer. It shows up as changed within the Premiere project, as well as in the preview in Adobe Media Encoder - and then the final output does not reflect those changes.
Another suggested workaround to anyone else out there who is problem solving is exporting directly from Premiere, but none of these solutions seem to work 100% of the time, nor really address what this problem really could be stemming from.

Dynamic Link from After Effects CC Altered in Premiere Pro CC

I have created a series of animations in After Effects, but whenever I add a Dynamic Link in Premiere, the Dynamic links are altering their look.
Example: The particle world animation, Ice layer, Bounce layer and a Glue layer to create the effect that I want. Looks great in After Effects. When opened in Premiere Pro, all 3 layers bounce in sequence for no apparent reason. So why does Premiere feel the need to alter my file on import?
Example 2: Small End graphic animation with a phone number and website.. All is great until the last 4 seconds of the animation. For no good reason, the background flips?? I checked this in my After Effects file.. there is no reason for the flip to take place.. once again, only happens in my dynamic link imported into Premiere.
Anyone experience this? I trolled the forums looking for something similar and came out empty handed. Extremely frustrating. I have resorted to rendering out a quicktime video, but this is not an ideal way to achieve things. (that being said, the rendered quicktime video works just fine when imported into Premiere.
Thanks..
Shawn

Adobe dynamic link-From after effects to Premiere

I have few sequences save in different After effects versions because my project was to big to work with one final after effect version.
I would like to use Adobe dynamic link to send all the seuqences into Adobe premiere to make a "one sequence" that I could export.
But when I am using Adobe dynamique link, I need to close and open the differents versions saved in after effects.
When I do it, the sequences appear offline in Premiere.
What can I do to see all the sequences online?Do I have to work with affter effects online all the time?
Thanks a lot,
Alice

First and foremost, running After Effects is not necessary so as to be able to work with dynamically linked compositions in Premiere Pro. PrPro invokes headless version of AE in the background so as to communicate with dynamically linked comps.
Second, while working with dynamically linked compositions avoid incremental numbers at the end of your AE projects names. Better yet, avoid incremental numbers at the end of your dynamically linked comps names as well in both AE and PrPro by giving them meaning names instead of default ones. If you really need to include incremental numbers in those names, insert them somewhere in the middle. The bug related to incremental numbers at the end of the names was biting strongly in CS5.5 (don't remember if CS5 was affected as well) and was claimed as fixed in CS6.
See also this good old thread about Dynamic Link workflow: when it is wise to rely on Dynamic Link and when - on a digital intermediate. Pay attention to Todd's comments.

Dynamic Link Premiere + After Effects - Encoder - Änderungen werden nicht übernommen.

Wenn man bereits eine Sequenz (welche eine AE-Komp. beinhaltet) mit dem Media Encoder exportiert hat und dann nachträglich nochmals Änderungen der Komp. in After Effects vornimmt und dann die Sequenz wieder per Premiere an den Media Encoder sendet, dann werden die After Effects Änderungen nicht berücksichtigt. Die After Effects Komposition innerhalb der exportierten Sequenz ist auf dem Stand des ersten Exports. In der Timeline wird sie aber richtig dargestellt. Wenn man direkt aus Premiere exportiert und nicht den Weg über den Encoder nimmt, funktioniert es auch.
Gibt es irgendwelchen temporären Dateien, die man löschen muss?

Leider kein Lösung, nur dass es hier bei mir genauso ist. Scheint leider ein Mangel am Programm zu sein, ansonsten würde ich ich auch über eine Lösung freuen. Hält schon auf, wenn ich jede Sequenz einzeln rendern muss.
Klar ich könnte das bei einzelnen Clips zur Not auch über den Media Encoder aus AE heraus machen, aber sinniger und besser wäre es schon wenn "dynamic link" auch wirklich dynamisch linken würde..

Why i can't use dynamic link between After effects and Premiere Pro?

I have installed the Creative Cloud version of After effects and Premiere Pro (only them, no other software of the suite) but i still can´t link them with dynamic link. the option is in grey, and i can't even click on it.
Some help? please!

Ok, here goes some information about my hardware and software:
Allienware M14XR2
Intel Core i7-3610 QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz
RAM 8 GB
Windows 7 Home premium
NVIDIA GE force 650 M
I'm working in a Premiere Pro project using 1920x1080 .mov archives, and the project is in the same resolution.
In Premiere pro, when i go to Archive > Dynamic Link i only have the option of send it to Encore.
Is this information enough?
thanks

Trying to Dynamic Link to After Effects, but it says I need Production Premium, but..

I have the Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection. What is going on? Can I not use Dynamic Link with the Master Collection? That doesn't make any sense. What am I doing wrong?

If the application can't communicate with the Dynamic Link server, it may be because TCP communication has been blocked by firewall software. See this document for suggestions about unblocking this communication:

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.

Premiere Pro Dynamic Link to After Effects stopped working

For about 6 months my Link between Premiere Pro and After Fx is not working. Premiere Pro sends it to After FX but when it is there the composition is empty and no media has been exported, even though the PP timeline is marked as a linked compostion. Its entirely empty, the media has vanished.
Id love to fix this issue. I guess it's a reinstall???
Latest CC, 10bit BM uncompressed timeline, Maverick (though it wasnt working on snow leopard either).

Sorry guys, may have just found the problem! Just realised that somehow my CC version on my disk is not listed as downloaded in my Cloud drop down pane. So im updating it and im assuming that will fix the problem.

Dynamic LinK to After Effect makes export freeze

Hi everyone,
I had previously posted on the Encore Forum, because the problem first appreared when trying to DL a sequence from Premiere to Encore: it took almost 6 hours for 15 mins of video, then it froze. Then I tried to export directly from Premiere, it took less (3 hours or so) but it froze nonetheless.
I found out that it froze exactly in the same spot, that is when it came to a DL from AE. It was a 30 secs composition in which I had simply stabilized a clip, no other effects were there. So, no matter what, when I try to expot the sequence, it blocks when it comes to the DL.
The problem is also that neither Encore nor Premiere showed me anything about it before exporting; both regularly started encoding, only to freeze at a certain point. In this way, I can't and I won't be able to realize when something like that will happen again. I mean: How could I know when a DL will create problem when exporting? The fact is that other DL worked fine.
Does anyone know if there is something I should check in order to have DLs work reguraly?
Thank You

Yes Jim, you're absolutely right - every 'common rule' is arbitrary, and it's up to everybody do decide what suits better in one's particular circumstances or a certain workflow!
Regard to 'several minutes' as a guideline, it was just a free quotation of Rick's comment in my thread about dealing with 'heavy' AE comps...

Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

(I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos. When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

Linked to after effects, then loosing transitions etc.

Hello everyone, Im an amature editor, still figuring everything out and i had a small question thats really bothering me. After i organize my clips in premiere, and link to after effects for further editing, when I go back to premiere I loose any transitions I had, and theres no room any longer for overlap for a dissolve transition. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this or suggestions? Thanks very much

Make your clips longer before you send them over. Then when you come back, you can shorten them to the needed length and use the extra for transitions.

Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only)

i have adobe creative suite master collection cs5... i'm currently editing my project in advertising in premiere pro and tried to replace my clip with an AE, then this window appeared saying "adobe dynamic link needs production premium." but your post says that it works on master collection too. can you tell me a fix that does not require uninstalling or deactivating coz i need to finish my project by tom and my time is running out thanks

If you're under time constraints, just render the clip out of AE and import it into Premiere. You can worry about getting Dynamic Link straightened out later.
If you're unwilling to do a total uninstall, run the Adobe Cleaner application and then reinstall, you really have very little choice in the matter. Get busy.
