Dynamic Linking a Premiere Sequence in SB

Using CS4 Production Suite.
I open Soundbooth, start a new multitrack file, then go to dynamic link>import premiere sequence Then, with the Premiere Project open in another window, I select the file, then the sequence, then ok, and SB looks like it tries to do something, but inevitably every time I get a "Not Responding" as it lingers there forever. Sometimes I get a % import bar, and it never moves from 0% before failing. I never get an error message, it just sits there and doesn't move for 20 minutes, before I shut it down. The project I'm importing is pretty long, and it consists of 6 audio tracks, so I thought maybe it's too big. So I tried a 40 second sequence with one audio track, and still it crashes.
So... what's up with that? I was kind of hoping to be able to master the audio for this film using SB, since I am using Premiere and AE, and bought this stuff thinking it all worked great together. Which it probably does, and I'm doing something wrong.
Someone help me please.

I believe that what you want is the WAB (Work Area Bar), which will allow one to Export segments of the Timeline to discrete video files. For more info on the WAB, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5170142#5170142 Just be sure to select Work Area, when you go to Export.
Good luck,

After Effects scrambles image of dynamic link imported premiere sequence

I have an Late 2013 MAC PRO Graphics AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB with Maverick 10.9.3 and CC. In the 2 last CC updates, imported sequences from Premiere Pro with dynamic link get scrambled after a while, not on every frame and not in a specific routine. After clearing the cache, it disappears. Sometimes it appears on some frames in a final render too. When I don't restart the MAC completely AE will block completely after while. Is this a known problem of CC and is there a solution ? Or is it possible that i.e. i1 profiler software creates this problem.

Update to Mac OSX v10.9.4.

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.
Thanks Bill

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 between Premiere pro and After effects versions?

I was wondering if it was possible to use the dynamic link between different version of the products like preimere pro cs5.5 and after effects cs5.0, I downloaded the trial of premiere cs5.5 while I already have bought and installed after effects 5.0 a while ago. when I tried using dynamic link with premiere 5.5 with my current after effects cs5, the "replace with after effects composition" in premiere was greyed out. I didnt know if this was just a limitation of the trial, or if the two different versions (PR cs5.5 with AE cs5) were incompatable with dynamic link. hope you guys understand the question, and any answers would be helpful!

Ok so just to get this straight, in order to use dynamic link between adobe premiere pro and after effects you have to have the complete suite? or just the same version installed? all I want to be able to do is have a good workflow between premiere pro to after effects to get my vfx done, and then send them back to premiere seemlesly without spending $2000 dollars on the entire suite just to use those 2 programs and because the suite is way over my budget. is that the only possible way (other than cs6, because I dont have the $$ to update either)

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 between Premiere Pro and Premier Pro when importing sequences?

Let me explain what we're trying to do. In our office we have one gentleman who edits together multiple program segments for a broadcast television show we do. He creates a new project and sequence for each because we upload the segments separately for the web. My job is to edit together the entire show for television. So what I do is I import his sequences to PP. The reason I do a sequence instead of a rendered video is for I can go in an make any corrections. But if I do make corrections it only makes the corrections on my project and not the original project/sequence I imported. I would like for the changes to also appear on on the original. Is there away to do this? I know this works for Adobe After Affects, Adobe Photoshop and now SpeedGrade using Dynamic Link, but is there a way to do something similar between Premiere Pro projects or sequences? Thank you

To my knowledge there is no way to use Dynamic Link between PP on two different machines. The DL is for using PP on a single machine such as importing AE comps, PSD files, etc.
I understand what you are trying to do and it sounds like Adobe Anywhere would be what you would need. Editor "1" can make a project and edit a sequence...editor "2" can access the same project and sequence, make changes,and it will update back on editor "2" machine.
To do what you want without Adobe anywhere, and still retain the original sequence you might want to try this.
After you import the project file/sequences from the other editor, make your chances, master cut(s). Then have the other editor import your updated sequences.

Dynamic Link and Premiere Pro Multicam Sequence?

I couldn't find a way to get AE to recognize the individual cuts from channel to channel in a Pr multicam sequence when that sequence was sent to AE via dynamic link using the "Replace with After Effects composition" command. It behaves as if I sent a normal sequence with 2 video layers to AE; IOW the top video track always overlays (and obscures) the bottom video track.
Is Multicam a no-go item for DL between AE and Pr?
-Jeff

I hadn't thought of multicam being destructively applied, since I can go back into Pr and change the cuts and the channels as desired. The multicam clip comes into AE with all of the original cuts intact, but not the channels. If I do make changes to the Pr sequence, re-sending the sequence to AE again updates all of the cuts, but still not the channels.

Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

Hello,
I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
2.8 GHz Quad Core
6GB Memory
I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
A few things to note:
*In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1.
*I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
*I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
*This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
*My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
Please help.
Thanks

So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

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.

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.

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

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

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
