Import Premiere Pro Sequence grayed out in Adobe Dynamic Link

I'm using PPro CC, and encore CS6. I have created a finished sequence in Premiere Pro, and I want to bring it into Encore. When I go to -> file -> adobe dynamic link, the premiere pro sequence option is grayed out. Why?

OK, well that explains it. Does that mean that if I import a PProCC sequence into encore,
It means you can't import the sequence itself. You must export a file of some kind from PR/AME, then import that. And yes, there is no way to get your CC projects to update automatically to Encore. You must export a fresh file. You can use "replace asset" and such to simply changing the file.
I went to the link above, and was somewhat distressed to see that the industry is moving away from physical media in favor of streaming. Won't happen in my lifetime, but a world without books and records and DVDs and CDs, etc.? Scarey!
Adobe needed some excuse, and that was theirs. There is clearly a very significant number of users that are a) event videographers/editors who must deliver DVD/bluray to clients and b) hobbyists who want the disk format for themselves and to share. My favorite guesses are a) that Rovio's takeover of Sonic/Roxio voluntarily or involuntarily squeezed Adobe financially or b) they don't want to invest the dollars in other aspects of fixing/upgrading Encore.

Import Premiere Pro Sequence Problems

Hello, I am new to using CS for video editing so forgive me if this seems very basic.
What I am trying to do, is bring a sequence from Premiere Pro into After Effects so that I can jazz it up with some compositing and effets etc. I went to File>Dynamic Link and imported my premiere sequence. It shows up in my project panel, and double clickign it I can view it as normal. But when I try to drag it into my timeline panel to make a comp, nothing happens. I have tried draging it to the "create new comp" button within the project panel, and all it does is create an empty comp. Am I doing something wrong? I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2

I think you're going about this all wrong. If you go to Adobe Dynamic Link and pick Import Premiere Pro Sequence you get a movie not a composition.
I don't think that's what you want.
If you go to File>Import>Premiere Pro Project you get all of the footage, the bins, and either all of the sequences as compositions or a selected sequence as a composition. Only cross dissolves and cuts come across but the AE project can quickly become unmanageable if there are lots of cuts. I cut a feature film last year in Premiere Pro and there were just a little over 3000 edits. Can you imagine working on a comp with 3000 layers???
The project looks like this:
The only difference between importing a movie and importing a Premiere Pro Project using dynamic link is that you can go back into Premiere Pro and re-edit the movie, then bounce back into AE and see the edits without rendering the Premiere Pro sequence. It's not at all useful to do what you describe in your original question. I didn't read carefully when I posted the first answer.
My usual workflow, in fact the workflow used in the project I'm showing here, is to go to one or a few of the shots I'm working on in Premiere Pro, select them then right click on the selected shots and choose Replace with After Effects Composition. This enables AE, allows me to concentrate on the sequence that needs the work in AE, keeps my AE projects very manageable, and lets me work faster and more efficiently. This runway show First Cut had about 15 effects shots, each requiring only about 3 or 4 layers. If I had imported the entire PPro project I would have had about 500 layers to sort out and the comp would have been completely unmanageable.

Import Premiere Pro Sequence Stops at 50%

I've been up for two days now looking thought these forums. I just need to output a simple, menu-free DVD and blu-ray disk.
I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5.
I tried exporting the "old" way, but can't just burn the work area. So I output to a MPEG-DVD file, put this new material in a new sequence, and tried Dynamic Link to Encore. Encore reads it all it, but stops with a "Import Premiere Pro Sequence" at 50%. I've let it run for hours, but it doesn't move past this point.
I'm running on an old machine - dual core, 8MB memory, HD6570 video card. I know I need a better machine, but if I can't burn discs, I won't make money, and I'll never afford anything faster.
I'm very disappointed. I'm not doing anything fancy, not much more than simple cuts. Seems like burning discs should be a no-brainer. Judging by this forum, Adobe has turned this seemingly simple function into a major undertaking.

Some observations; take them or leave them as you please:
I'm running on an old machine - dual core, 8MB memory, HD6570 video card.
I've resorted to burning using BurnAware
I've been using Premiere for over 10 years
All that seems to indicate you are running a Windows box.
I know I need a better machine, but if I can't burn discs, I won't make money, and I'll never afford anything faster.
it looks like Adobe has created another FCP user
A new Windows box will cost you far less than a similar-performing new Mac, which is what you'd need to run FCP. Since you've indicated that the cost of a new system is an issue, you may want to rethink the Mac/FCP purchase considering its cost and the fact that you've already invested in CS5.5. There's nothing wrong with a Mac/FCP combo, it's just that I wouldn't consider it budget-friendly.
Seems pretty cludgy for a semi-professional video editing product.
Agreed. But most of Encore's issues are solvable. No guarantees, but the users here are generally pretty good at getting to the heart of an issue. They're going to need more info from you, however. Please read here:

Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC - Dynamic Link of an .aep not working - Stalls during import

I have been trying to import an .aep file into Premiere Pro CC from After Effects CC. As suggested, I import the file. The dynamic import window appears. It states connected to file along with the import files ... dialogue box. It stalls there.
I have been working off my network and have all the files collected on my machine.
My workaround to get me to deadline was to render my clips from AE and import them. Importing the .aep would make more sense from efficiency and workflow.
Thank you

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.

Premiere Pro CS4 export doesn't work Dynamic Link Error

I am on Windows XP and have upgraded to Premier Pro CS4. I have under a 2 minute video that will not export (combo of photos and avi files we shot and a couple purchased avi in the NTSC format). AME sits on a "Waiting" status with no sign of movement. After an hour I turned it off. Tried to open AME and add the sequence, when I get the Adobe Dynamic Link Error - at least I get an error. What is this? I have no extra items on the timeline and have deleted the other sequences out to see it that mattered - no. I have done the updater and have the latest updates - still nothing. What am I missing? What should I be looking for? Help Please.

Antivirus isn't an issue and I have a lot of space.

Import of "image sequence" grays out when you select multiple jpg in Premier CC

It worked jus fine untill a few days ago after the CC update. I even reset the number sequencing on my camera to try a test set of picture. no matter what I do the "image sequence" check box grays out as soon as i click on multiple jpgs.
any one ever have this occur?

As joe bloe says, select only a single image file to enable the Image Sequence checkbox. Once you select multiple files, then the importer is set to import as multiple single still images. FYI, you can also select any file (other than the frst), if you wish to import a shorter range of files (eg: select 0040 to import an image sequence of frame 40 and on)

Premiere Pro won't let me select Dynamic Link

I'm in my project in Premiere Pro and trying to use Dynamic Link for the first time so I can edit in After Effects. I right click on my clip and see where I could potentially click "replace with after effects composition" but it will not allow me. How do I get this to enable me to click it?

Hi Jaclyn,
jaclynedmonson wrote:
After Effects CC
Version 12.1.0.168
You need to install After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) in order for dynamic link to function with Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5). If the versions do not match, dynamic link will not work between the applications.
Thanks,
Kevin

Adobe Dynamic Link will not work - Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4

Hello,
I am edited a video with a deadline, I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects and making edits in After Effects. I'm able to import the Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects using Dynamic Link, but I go back to Premiere Pro and nothing has changed. Then I have to export the 21 minute long video in After Effects and that takes about 12 hours, that I can't afford. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, before I imported the timeline into AE, while I was in Premiere Pro I right clicked it and selected -Edit original. It took me to the .mov that I imported- since it's a redo. I learned how to use Dynamic Link from this tutorial-
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-cs4-production-premium/using-dynamic-link/
At first when Dynamic link didn't work I thought it was because I was cutting the imported Sequence from Premiere Pro in After Effects becasue I was motion tracking. When you import a Premier Pro sequence can you cut it into individual layers in After Effects?

That doesn't create the type of Link you want here. In this case, changes made to PP would show up in AE. You want the reverse. (And you can only go one way, not both.)

Soundbooth CS4, Premiere Pro CS4, & Adobe Dynamic Link

What do I need to do to import Premiere Pro timelines into Soundbooth? The option for "Adobe Dynamic Link" is in the File menu, but the "Import Premiere Pro Sequence..." option is grayed out and unavailable. Soundbooth was purchased and installed separately from Premiere, but both applications are CS4.

Don't waste your time!!

After Effects CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

I can't find the adobe dynamic link to encore in premiere pro...?

New to encore and dynamic link... I'm running Premiere Pro CC and Encore CS6. When I go to send my sequence to Encore (File>Adobe Dynamic Link>..), there is no "Send to Encore" like what I've heard in seen in the tutorials... any ideas?
I've also tried to dynamic link from encore to premiere pro, but it never loads the sequence.

With Adobe Dynamic Link do you have to buy a suite to be able to use it or can you buy just After Effects and Premiere?

The company I work for has me on Sony Vegas and After Effects right now. I am working on getting over to Premiere. On my personal computer I bought the suite and I have Adobe Dynamic Link and love it. My questions is since they purchased After Effects already would Adobe Dynamic Link work if they just bought Premiere.

> CS6 will only be available for purchase until May 30th and then Creative Cloud takes over completely.
That is not correct. We are still selling CS6 software for quite some time. Where did you see an indication otherwise?
Regarding Dynamic Link: In the current versions of the applications, no suite is required. For example, if you have the single-application subscriptions for both Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC, Dynamic Link works between them. Dynamic Link is still limited to working between applications that share the same major version (i.e., CS6 with CS6, CC with CC, and so on).

Grey Adobe dynamic link

Hi,
I purchased CS4 Web premium which comes with Soundbooth. I later purchased Premiere Pro CS4. When I try to use File>Adobe dynamic link>Import Premiere Pro Sequence, "Import Premiere Pro Sequence" is greyed out. Also, if I go to import - it looks as if Premiere Pro files are not supported?
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Randy

You need to create a multi-track file. File>New>Multitrack File (Ctrl+Shift+N). At this point, you will be able to import using dynamic link from either PPro or AE. If I may ask, why are you importing from PPro? You're better off dynamic linking from PPro to Soundbooth, that way you'll receive immediate changes applied to PPro when you change something in Soundbooth.

Importing a CS5 premiere pro sequence into Encore

I'm pretty new to premiere pro and encore (used encore for the first time yesterday) - so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I've created a project in Premiere Pro and it plays fine. However, when I import the premiere pro sequence into my Encore project (so I can export it to DVD) it shows the media as being offline. Am I wrong in assuming that if I import a sequence from premiere pro I don't have to import all the sub-assets that the sequence uses as well - shouldn't that happen automatically? Or do I need to import everything? - seems a bit silly if that's the case - why would I not want all the assets that a sequence uses to come across with it? Thanks.

forgive me if this is a dumb question.
Not dumb, but your terms aren't right, and that's probably at the root of your problem.
You "import" a file; you dynamic link a PR sequence, either from Premiere or from within Encore.
When you dynamic link, nothing is actually transferred; a link is set up, and the Premiere sequence is still operating from within an instance of Premiere (even if not visible).
When you eventually transcode (in Encore, usinkg Encore's engine or adobe media encoder), then a file is created inside Encore directory structure.
The media showing as offline means you've done something wrong.
Do you get this message at the very beginning of the link? Be sure you don't move or rename anything.
