Encore-Premiere dynamic link not working

Hi. I've watched tutorials and think I understand this pretty well but it's simply not working. I import a Premiere sequence into an encore project and place it on a timeline. I then add some chapters (or make other changes) to the Premiere sequence and the encore timeline does not update. When I right click on the timeline video the option to "Update markers from source" is grayed out. Saving in Premiere doesn't help.
Thanks for any help offered. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but it's really a damper to productivity.
CS4 Production Premium, Win Vista Ultimate 64, NVidia GEForce 8800 with latest drivers, NVidia 7600 running a third monitor, Matrox Axio LE card, dual quad core Xeon, 20Gb ram, 5TB free HD space on a raid 0

>anyone know if that's coming back?
I seriously doubt it. Adobe bundles Encore with PPro to take care of DVD authoring. It might have been convenient, but I don't think there's sufficient demand for Adobe to consider re-implimenting it.
Try filing feature requests.
Cheers

Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium. I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere. When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message. I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message. What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

Thank you for the tip. Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
then reactivate the suite. I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
10.6.4. I do not even know where to start.

Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

Dynamic Link Not Working

To anyone that can help..
I am having several issues with adobe at the moment and really need some advice. i have tried adobe themselves, they struggled to help too, but that was mainly down to language issues.
I have a Canon XHA1S camera with an external shotgun mic Rodeo NGP-2. All of which at some point worked through premiere pro CS5 and encore. i was living the dream.
Then one day, it all started having issues.
Problem #1 - Dynamic Link stopped working
Once my project is done, i would send it to Encore via dynamic link and produce my DVD in either regular or blu ray. Now it doesn't. A box 'import premiere pro sequence' comes up but encore crashes before it can complete the import. sometimes a message telling me "the software thats used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decodes for the file your working with may help correct the problem" comes up too
Its strange that i've produced about 20 disks with no issues but now a problem. was told by adobe it could relate to the file/pixel size? but again have no idea why this is now a problem now and not before, in fact i would just be happy to know how to change it so it can work? Can anyone help?
Problem #2 - Audio
The only way i am able to make a disk at the moment is to produce it on DVD maker - it's the only way until i get my issues resolved. however my external mic is not coming through, this has something to do with the sound quality to the mic being 44.1 and the DVD maker requiring 48mhz. i can't seem to convert this to work in anything but AVI (would like MPEG-2) but then the picture quality drops to something similar to a tribul rubbing.
If anyone knows of something or can point me in the right direction i would be very greateful
Thanks

Especially for Bluray or DVD that is HD to SD, DL must sometimes be avoided.
But the type of problem you are having may indicate other problems. If regular projects are not working, see these:

Regarding the audio, can't you just export as 48K?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link not working as part of Production Premium CS5

I ran into a situation whereby I recently reinstalled my Production Premium CS 5 onto a new computer and when trying to run the Dynamic Link out of Premiere PRO CS 5 to create a new After Effects composition, After Effects tried to start up but then crashed with the error that Production Premium was needed.
Yet, I had Production Premium CS5.
(Note: The crash didn't occur when I simply tried to use Dynamic Link without anything selected in my project or timeline - but the moment I had a clip in my timeline selected to work on it, the dynamic link would not work as covered above.)
In checking around the forums I found various answers to this problem such as rebooting the computer, reformatting hard drives and/or whatever. This all may be correct.
However, as I just went through that nightmare, I was not anxious to do that again. So, I called Adobe and the following solution solved the matter in 5 minutes:
1. Close all your other Adobe applications such as After Effects.
2. Open up Premiere Pro CS5 and then deactivate it by going to HELP>DEACTIVATE and then Permanently Deactivate.
3.Close the application and restart Premiere Pro CS5.
4.Then do the same to Activate it.
5. Have your serial number handy and plug it in when prompted.
Solved it right away and worked beautifully.
Not to say there couldn't be more complicated situations, but the above worked and the simpler the better is good for me. And I thought I would post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Premiere Pro CS6 Dynamic Link not working

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone has seen issues with the Dynamic link options in Premiere Pro CS6, all the options to work with After Effects are greyed out although this product is installed.
However I only have CS5 for after effects, is this a compatibility issue or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Steve

Dynamic Link only works within one version, so you can't use it between CS6 and CS5 or CS5.5 and with older versions you had to have a complete suite, not individual products.

Dynamic Link not working in CS6

I'm working on a Mac on OS 10.7.4, dynamic link between Premiere Pro CS 6.0.2 keeps hanging up and won't successfully launch AE. Just to see if it was the individual project, I launched a new project and tried to link a single file and it did the same thing. I don't know if this is a preference thing or what, but any guidance is much appreciated.

Encore, Premiere, Dynamic Link, MPE & Problem?

My set-up is CS5 with an nVidia GTX-460 (hacked to conform for MPE). The project used is HDV 1080i60. I created the Encore project by importing Premiere sequences.   I am burning a DVD.
First an interesting discovery -
     I was surprised to see that Encore used MPE when transcoding. I have a gadget that shows GPU load.
Now the not so good -
     I was having a terrbible time getting the, very simple, single timeline, no menus, just chapter marks, DVD to burn.   Sometimes I got an "Encode Failed". And a few times the system (Win 7 64-bit) blue screened! Until this this system has been rock solid. In my debugging I figured that I'd turn-off MPE and see if that helped. Hmmmm. No option for that in Encore. However, I went into the Premiere project and turned it off there.   Voila! Encore now does not use the GPU and the DVD burn completed.
Of course, this could be an issue with my un-supported GTX-460. But maybe not . . . .
Comments?

Dynamic link not working as expected

maybe I'm missing something. I am in premier cc2014, I select an in and out of my timeline and choose "adobe dynamic link->new after effect composition"
it opens up ae and makes a comp but it is completey empty...and the length of the comp is 30 seconds but my in and out were much less than that
This is my first attempt at doing this, but I thought it was supposed to be pretty straight forward. Am I not understanding how dynamic link is supposed to work?

What you need to do is select all the clips or the ones you want on the timeline right click and select "replace with AE composition" then it will take all of them into AE.

Dynamic Link not working AT ALL (CS5.5)

I've been trying to queue a sequence from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder (both CS5.5), and it says that Dynamic Link isn't working. I tried to make a new After Effects composition with my sequence through Dynamic Link, and it says that I don't have it installed (I do and can sucessfully open it). So, Dynamic Link doesn't work at all. Working on a Mac here. Help?

It's possible that something (e.g., antivirus software) is blocking the communication that Dynamic Link relies on.

Dynamic link not working for PPCS4 after installing CS4

Background. I had CS3 Master Collection. I then needed some features in PPCS4 so I purchased that as a standalone upgrade. Recently I decided to upgrade the entire suite to CS4 Creative Suite 4. Everything installed fine. However when I try to go from PPCS4 using Dynamic Link I get a message that says Adobe Dynamic Link requires Adobe Production Premium (which I have). I assumed I needed to delete PPCS4 and I went so far as to delete the entire CS4 suite + the Premiere Pro and start over. Again, it installed fine but the same problem happens all over again.
Is there some config file somewhere or registry tweak so I can use dynamic link? I am on Vista 64 machine.
Thank you - Pat

Use the uninstall scripts from Adobe to completely remove all vestiges of PPro from your computer. Then perform the installation.
Links to the scripts are on the troubleshooting page.

Dynamic link not working for Media Encoder

When I put one or more timelines in que from PP CS6 for export and then start the cue all I get is a message saying it is opening dynamic link but it just stays at that point and does not actually start the export process. What can cause this? Thanks for your help.

Dynamic link not working for CS6 on Windows 8

Getting Dynamic Link to work (CS4 Windows)

I've done enough Googling and searching these forums to know that Adobe Dynamic Link will work only in a suite environment, and found instructions on deactivating, uninstalling, running Clean Script, etc.
Before I do all that, maybe someone can tell me if it's even possible with what I have: the suite contains After Effects, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Fireworks. For whatever reason, After Effects has its own serial number. Separately, I have a box for Premiere Pro & Encore and a box for Sound Booth. So that's 3 boxes, all CS4, running on Win 7 x64.
So is Dynamic Link possible, or do I abandon all hope? I could have sworn it worked before I reformatted the drive, but maybe I was imagining things.

As far as I know, Premiere Pro must be part of a suite to have Dynamic Link... you do not describe PP in a suite
But... go to the Adobe product pages and read what is included with "just" PPro/Encore and when PPro is part of a suite

Encore CS6 Dynamic Link

I think most of the people here will agree with me. I have noticed that since upgrading to CC I have had lots of timewasting work arounds to create a Blu Ray and DVD using Encore. In the past I used to create awesome quality Blu Rays and DVD from the same Encore Project dynamically linked to PrPro. But with CC the workaround is time consuming and I don't think the Blu Ray and DVD will be going away as predicted by Adobe. As a result of this I just can't wait to terminate my CC subscription at the end of my contract this year so I can revert to CS6.

For the record, I don't see any problem with dynamic link as long as it works. The "automatic" setting in Encore has worked fine for many people. There may have been slightly better quality options, but for many users, the quality was good. The problem has been that there have been increasing numbers of situations where it does not work correctly, including HD to SD that made it a bad workflow for almost all users.
The belief that it saves transcoding time seems so reasonable, it is hard to realize that it does not. The savings that may occur are in workflow that avoids bitrate calculation for longer projects.
Surkweza appears to be one of those who found workflows for SD and BD that worked. We don't hear from many.
And yes, its moot now, since there is no dynamic link CC to CS6. So the best CC users can do is to learn to create DVD/BD ready assets at the best quality their program length will allow.
But the bugs make the frustration of users like srukweza harder to resolve.

Adobe Edge links not working

Yeah I have also experienced links not working when I import my .oam file from Adobe Edge Animate also. Is there anything the Muse team is doing to fix this issue? I need a response from you guys by the end of the week. my company website is malfunctioning due to issues with your software. If there is some sort of hotfix please let us know.

When you install the software illegally, using a volume license, there is a script you can run that will enter all of the adobe servers into your local DNS hosts file so the software can be activated. This makes accessing those domains impossible. This scenario fits the description of your issue, not suggesting anything beyond that.
The hosts file is in /private/etc/hosts and can be accessed through the terminal:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
If you see a bunch of adobe servers in there, that is your problem.
