Dynamic Linked Footage Coming up with Color Bars in Premiere Pro

I recently had been editing a project in Premiere, and decided to do some work in after effects to the footage using the dynamic link function. It's worked fantastically up until this point, as now it's causing me some grief. I recently built a new PC as the mobo among other hardware was showing signs of making it's way out the door after years of use. I installed the HDD from the previous computer into this system, as well as a brand new HDD. Upon opening up my project, all I see on the footage that's been linked into AE is color bars. I figure this is probably just a case of PP having issue finding the location of the video files but I'm unsure and not entirely sure how to go about solving this issue.
Any ideas?

If you only want to tint the entire frame, then you can do so by creating a solid-color clip, putting that on top of the track that you want to tint, and then set the blending mode to Color. Adust opacity of the color matte to taste.
Toward the bottom of this article, you can see how to do this in After Effects, but the idea is the same in Premiere Pro.

Help needed with Avid AAF to Premiere Pro CC (w/wo/AE in the loop)

Folks,
I am taking over a feature film edit to finish in Premiere Pro. I want to use AE's Pro Importer to convert the Avid edit (AAF export) to an AE session and then export to PP CC.
The 1st editor was cutting with Avid Media Composer. All the source footage is Sony AVCHD camera creating .MTS files. The Avid made .MXF proxies using Avid media DNx36.
Here are the reasons for my problems (don't laugh):
1. There are 20 days of footage in 20 folders. Inside each folder are X number of shots, the highest volume has 91.
2. each day's footage starts with shot# "00000.MTS" which means there are 20 files named "00000.MTS" in this project.
3. none of the source .MTS footage has any of the metadata filled out. Using an EDL an manually re-linking every single shot is a ROYAL PAIN, having to hunt for the right shot# 00041.MTS, example.
4. The script supervisor's End of Day reports are riddled with mistakes of which scenes were shot on which days - says scene 8 was Day 13 but no Scene 8 footage in the Day 13 folder.
5. Avid editor NEVER uses AAF export for Video, only audio. Everytime he tries, the AAF files either copy and link to the .MXF proxies in a new Custom folder OR are Offline/Missing on AE Pro Import looking at the AAF folder instead of my AVCHD folder contain all of the original footage.
Can one of you MegaMinds help me help the Avid Editor (MAC-based) in AVID MC
a. take his existing edit and re-link media to the original files
b. export said edit to a NEW AAF with the original source footage files linked to the timeline
c. get Pro Importer (AE) OR Premiere Pro to correctly import the AAF data with the original pathways (folder structure) for re-linking footage on my (PC-based) RAID
-FYI- Premiere Pro CC currently hangs up on import of his current AAF files.
Help me Obi-wan Adobe, you're my only hope!

Having similar issues.
Premiere CC 2014 seems to have fixed AAF import hanging up.
Avid "updated" the info contained in AAF relating to AMA linked material beginning with MC 6.5 and as a result AAF comes in with blank sequence.
Avid says adobe needs to update AAF input.
The workaround I have been using is to copy filename to clipname in MC relink to DNX media export AAF import into premiere and manually relink.
Hoping Adobe will address issue.
Thanks

Offline/Missing Image Sequences in After Effects CS6 with Color Bars

I am working on a stop motion animation in After Effects CS6. Each clip has been imported as an image sequence from stills on my hard drive. When I open up After Effects, all image sequences now have color bars over them, as if they are offline. Trying to reload them does nothing. I cannot 'link media' because it isn't just one file; it's an image sequence so there are many of them.
I first noticed this when the color bars appeared in my dynamically linked comps inside of Premiere Pro. Everything played smoothly the first time I opened the project in Premiere CS6, after originating in CS5.5. Then the second time I opened up Premiere, the color bars appeared on the linked comps. I hadn't yet opened up my AE project in CS6 yet, so when I did, AE converted the project and I resaved it.
Any help related to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm beginning to solve this.
Rick, thanks for your advice. I tried this and it worked. The reason I didn't do this before is that, because it is stop motion, I couldn't remember how many frames I had imported for each sequence. For instance, if I shot 54 images and only imported 52 into the sequence, I wouldn't remember which 52 images to import...this might still be causing a problem, but I don't know yet. I think in most cases I imported all the images in a folder, so the image sequences should be fine.
I am having another problem, however. Even though the issue seems to be fixed in AE, it doesn't seem to be fixed in Premiere...each image sequence is dynamically linked from AE, but each dynamically linked comp is still being show with color bars as they did in AE...I think that maybe my Premiere project is still linking to the old CS5.5 AE project, and not the new one opened and saved in CS6...

FAQ: How do I color grade a Premiere Pro sequence in Adobe SpeedGrade?

How to color grade a Premiere Pro sequence in Adobe SpeedGrade
You can color grade (color correct) Premiere Pro sequences directly in Adobe SpeedGrade. The workflow differs between SpeedGrade CS6, SpeedGrade CC (7.0.1), and SpeedGrade (7.1, and later) with its Direct Link workflow.
Please refer to the version you are using.
Color grading a Premiere Pro CS6, CC (7.0.1) in SpeedGrade CS6, CC (7.0.1)
If want to color grade a Premiere Pro sequence prior to SpeedGrade CC (7.2), see the following resources:
Send a sequence to SpeedGrade
Color grading a Premiere Pro CC (7.1, and later) in SpeedGrade CC (7.1, and later)
If want to color grade a Premiere Pro sequence in SpeedGrade CC (7.1, and later) using Direct Link, see the following resources:
Coming Soon to SpeedGrade CC - Direct Link and More

Problems importing AVI with DV codec to Premiere Pro

Problems importing AVI with DV codec to Premiere Pro (720x564 px, 32 kHz stereo, 24.4 bitrate)
I can't import that video. What can I do?

Svanur,
I agree with Harm. The specs. do not match up correctly. Where did those AVI files come from?
I assume that you are working in PAL-land (and not NTSC-land). Is that correct?
What platform are you working on, Mac, or PC?
When you attempt to Import those AVI files, what is the exact error message that you are getting?
Good luck,
Hunt

Should I color correct in Premiere Pro or something else?

Hey guys, I'm an experienced noob in digital video production. I learned on using an HD camera and Final Cut Pro 7 in my communications class. But now that I graduated, I bought myself a t3i and the adobe creative cloud. My question is, should I color correct in Premiere Pro or another suitable program (the only one I sort of know is Davinci Resolve lite)? Sure, I know it can be done in Premiere Pro, but I was wondering if there is a better alternative that I should focus my learning in for color correction. Thanks in advance!

It will do you till you get there.
A comprehensive study of CC / Grading techniques and theory ...will do more good than just learning how to work a CC Grading software application.

How to create dynamic links in one page with div panels

HI
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 with developer toolbox.
I have a PHP page where I have two separated tabbed div
panels.
I want to show dynamic summary of data from database in one
panel.
In the other panel I have a table with dynamic text.
I want to click on a link in the first panel with the summary
data and see the whole record in the other panel table.
How do I tell the dynamic link to send the wuery and show the
data in the detailed panel without having to reload the whole page.
I hope I am clear enough....

I asked something similar to this last week and was told by
others much more experienced that it couldn't be done. Hopefully
your quest will yield something.

After effects CC on maverick slow render because of PP CC Dynamic Link Footage

I put premiere pro CC edits in After Effects CC through dynamic Link every day. Since I upgraded my systems to Maverick and first installed the 12.0.1 and afterwards 12.1 the rendering of the After effects projects that have Dynamic Link Edits on the timeline slow down from 10 hours (in12.0 on Mountain Lion) to about 90 hours. When I replace the dynamic Link with a QT Movie, it renders about 10 hours again. It is normal that Dynamic link slows dow the rendering, but this is extreme and since this wasn't the case on Mountain Lion and 12.0 for the same project with the same dynamic link, not normal. I couldn't figure out what causes this. Is this Maverick on my 2008 Mac Pro ? is this a bug in 12.1 or dynamic link ? Or can I solve this with a simple setting somewhere in Maverick or AE ?

I'm was having the same issues, turned off "app nap" for premiere and after effects which has mostly fixed things.
The only thing now though is if I have a dynamic linked after effects composition within premiere and I have the after effects project open (that the composition came from) the dynamic linked comp within premiere won't play properly no matter what.
Tried everything I can find on the net - app nap, full screen full res rendering within after effects - that composition just won't play and take ages to render if the after effects project that it came from is open.
If I close the after effects project, the dynamically linked composition in premiere starts playing perfectly. Open the project in after effects and that dynamically linked comps stop playing. Any other dynamically linked comps from other AE sessions play fine within premiere (unless I open their original AE project!)
This used to work fine before - it was great to be able to have AE and premiere open together and make changes in AE then switch to premiere to see the changes update, watch the sequence to get context, then flick back to AE, make more changes etc.
Now I have to close the AE project, go to premiere, watch the sequence, open the AE project, make changes. When doing a few hundred adjustments over a week this can add considerable time to workflow!
Any ideas? Is this happening for you guys?

Dynamic Linked AE comp not using all cores in Premiere CS5 to render

I have a project that is taking forever to render and am trying to troubleshoot it. It has an AE comp that is used several times and seems to be the culprit. If i load that into after effects and render with my "use 7 of 8 cores with 1GB ram each" setting in afx then my cpu usage is about 80-90% and it renders that segment in 50 seconds.
Now when i link that into premiere and it is rendering along almost maxxing out all 8 cores until it hits that comp and then cpu usage drops down and only one core is at 80% and the rest are around below 20% and that segment takes almost 10 minutes for premiere to get through.
Now obviously i can pre-render that and replace the comp and the problem will be solved but i would much rather see premiere render at full speed like it should. Am i missing something? With multicore systems this would make dynamic linking almost worthless if it wont use them (and i LOVE dynamic linking, it is a GREAT feature)
system is win7, cs5, dual quad xeon (8 cores), GTX 460, and 20GB ram.
thanks!

> Am i missing something?
No, you're not missing anything.
This is a current limitation of using Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and After Effects. When Premiere Pro calls the headless version of After Effects to render those frames, only one After Effects process is used.
We're working on improving Dynamic Link. If you'd like to influence where we put our effort, please make a feature request so that the folks deciding what work to do can register your vote.

Adobe pr pro cs4 dynamic link to Encore cs4: updating changes made to pr pro timeline

Recently I did a project in adobe pr pro cs4 and exported it to encore through adobe dynamic link to create a DVD. When I saw some mistakes, I went in pr pro and corrected them. It automatically updated the chages in encore. Finally, I created my DVD and burned it. Next day, I saw a minor spelling mistake so I opened pr pro and encore separately but any corrections I did in pr pro did not updated in encore! What is a better way to correct this as I do not want recreate the whole DVD project again by sending it again through adobe dynamic link?

You have to go into Encore and select Revert to Original for your Linked timeline. Any changes made after transcoding won't show up without reverting. And yes, that means you have to transcode again.

Color Finesse in Premiere Pro?

In the November Issue of Sound on Sound Magazine Mark Butler did a review of CS5 Production Premium, and states the following:
"The version bundled with After Effects is Color Finesse 3 LE, and it can also be used directly in Premiere Pro if you like."
How can I do this? I cant find CF in the effects bin or anything and its not that ideal to use Dynamic Link if you want to go back and modify your cuts..

Thanks Colin!

Yellow render bar in Premiere Pro CS6

hey there,
quick specs:
HP Z820, 64GB RAM, NVidia quadro 6000 (alongside with a BlackMagic 3D extreme for monitoring), ext. SAS-RAID, Windows 7 64bit, Adobe PP CS6.
the issue is quite simple from the outside:
any codec i slam into a new sequence gives me yellow (render) bars.
doesn't matter if i customize the sequence or right click "new sequence from clip" (which i assume fits my sequence settings to my clip settings)
the only codec that doesn't give me yellow bars is mpeg2. (really..?!)
to check i turned the CUDA engine OFF - red bars immidiately.
and even with yellow bars (which PP should be able to play back at least i get the choppiest playback sometimes)..
but as you see it shouldn't be a hardware problem - so what am i doing wrong or didn't i get the idea of creating sequences?
any suggestion appreciated.

If the codec you use is not supported in a preset, you get the yellow bar. So what? If it plays fine, then there is nothing to worry about. With AVCHD 1080p/50 and 5.1 AC3 sound you get a yellow bar, so what? It plays fine.
hey harm,
"so what?" is not really a term that i often use. when i encounter a problem, i try to fix it or at least push as far as i can push to get the optimum under the given circumstances. "works anyway" doesn't really cut it for me.
i want to understand why there's the need to render despite the fact
- that all my hardware and software is supposed to eliminate exactly this
- that other companies solved this problem years ago
- that adobe promotes a product that should do the job, but obviously doesn't
and it actually does not playback fine. sometimes (=usually) the playback is choppy, sometimes the playhead jumps back to start without any reason and a few other problems i came across.
i understand that adobe PP is not in the game as long as AVID is for example, but they claim to have a professional product (at least the name suggests it but as far as i am concerned if you really put PP to the test it tends to bend and sometimes to break.
as much as i love dynamic link (main purchase reason) - i just can not run sensitive projects on it. or, before i do i need to understand why these things happen.
you totally don't have to but i hope you understand my position.

Which color models do Premiere Pro and After Effects use?

hello,
I had a problem with a psd-file that I used in Premiere and AE: when I imported the AE-composition with the mentioned psd-file into my Premiere-sequence, where the psd-file was also used, the color of my psd-file looked different. It seemed that the two "instances" of my psd-file did use different color models.
On the Adobe-help-page I found an entry with the following info: "... After Effects works with the RGB (red, green, blue) color model. AdobePremiere Pro, however, works with the YUV color model. When you work with a dynamically linked composition, Adobe Premiere Pro either converts it to YUV or retains the RGB colors, depending on the output format." (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSbaf9cd7d26a2eabf53ab041041081290f-7fe8. html)
BUT: I found another entry in which it says that "... Premiere internally works with RGB..." (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS6693F22C-C06E-431a-A634-62343C65BA7B.ht ml#WSbaf9cd7d26a2eabf53ab041041081290f-7fbb)
Can somebody help me?

I believe Premiere Pro will keep the YUV color space on all YUV material (normally only video, still images are usually RGB) for as long as it can, all the way through the pipeline to export. But there are some things which can force an internal RGB conversion, like the addition of an effect which does not work in the YUV space. So far as I'm aware, once converted to the RGB space, it will stay there until an export forces a conversion to another color space.
So the PSD should start out as RGB and stay there both in AE and PP, until an export to a YUV format forces a conversion.
The difference you see between the programs may come about because AE is color managed, whereas PP is not.
