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 pro

Usually when i dynamic link to audition and save and go back to premiere it saves my files to my project folder im working from.
Something has changed and they save elsewhere, if I move the files to the project folder it stuffs up premiere wanting to reconnect everything..
And if I save them straight to my desired folder I have to import those files into premiere, frustrating me
Any ideas what I can do.?

I also need help with this. Whenever I dynamicly link is saves the new AA wav file next to where my PP proj file is. I don't want it to do this I want to save it to where all my media is. Is there really no way to tell audition to default save extracted audio from premiere to a certain location?.
The extracted WAV file is generated by Premiere, in this case, and Audition doesn't have any control over where it is saved. You can submit a feature request directly to Premiere by visiting https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

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.

Direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade won't open and stops at the post processing bar.

I've just installed the new version of Speedgrade and every time I try to open a direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade, it opens and starts to load, but when the post processing bar appears it stops there and doesn't open, I've gone back to the original versions of both programmes and that same thing happens, HLEP!

Hi Vinay,
1. I am using third party plug ins, and I understand that might be causing an issue, but I've also tried opening a new project with nothing in it at all, and that won't open.
2. Premiere Pro quits after the project loading bar or after I create a new project.
3. I used a lot of files! mov, mts, psd, ai, png, jpeg, and AE compositions through dynamic link.
4. The project has about five sequences. They range from 1 minute to 4 minutes.
Thanks!

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)

Question about Dynamic Linking from Premier Pro

I have a number of sequences created in Premier Pro CS5.5 that I have linked into a project in Encore CS 5.1 via the "Dynamic Link" feature. My question is - if I make any adjustments or changes to those sequences in Premier Pro, will those changes be automatically transferred to the corresponding timelines in Encore? If not, how do I make that happen?

Jeff's answer applies to each dynamic linked sequence you transcoded after in Encore. For any sequence not already transcoded, changes will be automatic.
The exception is markers. If you change markers, including markers that shifted on the Premiere timeline because you deleted or added clips, changed duration, etc, you must select the sequence's timeline and select Edit -> Update Markers From Source (replaces all markers).

Dynamic Link from Premiere to After Effects causing 'Zoom' controls not to function...

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 with a Dynamic link to an After Effects CS5 composition and I'm having some real issues with zoom control (once I'm in AE). When I run the composition 1 or 2 times the zoom function (ctrl +/-) will work, but after a few run through's it doesn't function at all. Even trying to manually change the zoom by clicking won't work. This happens EVERY time I use a dynamic link -- anyone else having this issue? (It also won't allow me to render... but I can see my comp move when I scrub through with the mouse).
Also, when I create the same composition w/o the dynamic link everything works perfectly... (I just don't want to have to re-render it out... which is why I would like Dynamic Link to work properly).
Here's what I'm running;
Windows 7 Pro - 64bit
Core i7-960
24GB DDR3
x2 300GB 10k RPM HD
ATI 4790 1GB
Thanks,
Drew

Mylenium, Todd,
Thanks for your suggestions. I've updated all of my 3rd party software drivers, as well as AECS5 and it seemed to work... for an extra 10 minutes. I ended up turning off OpenGL (as directed above) and that has seemed to help as well (although render playback seems to suffer). I will test for another few hours and hopefully it will continue to work.
I was also able to replicate the problem on my laptop with the same proceedures... perhaps it's the ATI card that's causing the issue... but it doesn't seem to be a one-time event. (Although it's causing my laptop to crash now mid-render).
Cheers,
D

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

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 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!

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 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 Linking between Premiere pro cs6 CC and After Effects is shaded grey and not working.

Hi, I currently have a CC membership with everything included in the package. I have already downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects. However, I cannot figure out why , when I right click a video clip in Premiere, the dropdown menu has the 'replace with after effects' option within the list greyed out, apparently not an option for me. I've browsed several tutorials and all of them illustrate using dynamic linking with ease as a readily available option. Can anyone help with this please?

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

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 ...

Dynamic link from Premiere CC 2014 to Audition CC 2014

When I dynamic link to audition and save and go back to premiere it saves my files to my
user folder instead of saving it to my project folder where I’m working from. I have not found a way to specify the folder to save back to. You would think it would save the file back to the folder where the original was.
And if I save them straight to my desired folder I have to import those files into premiere and relink them.
How can this be fixed… any ideas what to do?
