Issue with After Effects dynamic link CC2014

Hi guys,
I'm french user and i got an issue using dynamic link between after Effects CC2014 and Première Pro CC2014.
I´m importing via dynamic link my PP sequence in AE. Import is OK but i'm unable to put the sequence into a comp !
If i´m using PP to send a sequence into a AE comp, AE breaks and displays " After Effects error : strange situation. "
Anybody knows what happens ?
Desinstall / reinstall but nothing changes.
Please help me. Thank you guys !

It would help us to know what kind of system you are using and what type of footage. PPro will work on some types of footage that AE has a problem with. Have you followed this exact workflow before? Did this workflow work in previous versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro?

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?

Warp Stabilizer through After Effects Dynamic Link Locks up in CS6

Hey Gang,
I've been using Warp Stabilizer through dynamic link in CS5.5 without issues. However, when I go through dynamic link into AE, then apply Warp Stabilizer, AE locks up?
I can apply any other effects through this path in AE without issue, but when I try to apply WS, I get the "Analyze", but AE stops cold there.
I've tried:
-Opening new project in PP with basic 5 second clip. Then going through dynamic link into AE, and applying warp stabilizer first thing. AE locks up there with the simplest flow.
-I have the latest downloads of the entire production CS6 suite.
-If I apply warp stabilizer directly in Premiere CS6 (which I did not know previously I could do), it works fine! (Just noticed Warp Stabilizer is present in PP CS6, but not in CS5.5).
-If I try to import the Premiere project from AE, AE locks up doing that?
It appears there are multiple issues here:
1. I can't apply Warp Stabilizer in After Effects, and doing so crashes AE.
2. I can't import a Premiere project into After Effects, and doing so crashes AE too?
I'm assuming I'm going to need to download AE again?
Thank you for any help and suggestions you may have!

Hello Mylenium,
thank you for your input. Naturally I would expect if my work flow in CS5.5 works great, I would not have to make any changes in CS6 to accomplish the same task. With that said, I made it as simple as possible for CS6 AE to handle the Warp Stabilizer effect, and it crashed? If I went directly back to CS5.5, no problems at all in AE (same source footage, but of course different projects). When I first tried CS6 AE it appeared to work fine, even when doing Warp effects. So when I ran into the issue I saw above, I started thinking it was possible the update I did to AE may have caused some other issue. By the way, the projects I open in both CS5.5 vs. CS6 were independent, meaning, I did not convert a CS5.5 job to CS6, etc... (See notes below).
My setup is standard:
i7 960
16G mem
Nvidia Quadro 4k
Footage is Canon 5D Mkii 1080p
All drivers up to date.
-I think going back and forth between CS5.5 and CS6 may have caused some issues? When I rebooted my system, CS6 AE seems to work fine when applying Warp Stabilizer effects again.
-What I did find more interesting and effective, was that CS6 Premiere has Warp Stabilizer right in its own effects now! Works great in the premiere flow and plays back far better then going through the Dynamic Link with After Effects! When playing Dynamic link effects back in Premiere, I'm sure everyone sees performance issues in the playback. However, in at least with applying Warp Stabilizer directly in Premiere, the playback performance is much better.
Thank you

Prem. Pro to After Effects Dynamic Link Results in Empty Comp

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a setting that I've screwed up, but since the last CC update, whenever I right click a clip or group of clips in a PP timeline and choose "replace with After Effects Composition," I am getting a blank comp and no files imported into After Effects. The dynamically linked project DOES show up inside of Premiere, so we're ok from that end.
Before anyone redirects me, I found a similar post to this previously, but the issue seemed to be different than the problem I'm having and I have tried the suggested fix in that post, anyway, with no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Yes. It turned out that when I last updated my creative cloud, one of the two programs had not completed updating to the newest version (I forget whether it was Premiere or After Effects). After I ran a complete update for both programs and restarted the computer, the problem was solved. Hope this helps!

Premiere and After Effects - Dynamic Link

Hello,
I just installed the Master Collection Suite and started editing a video in premiere. Once I tried to use a dynamic link to send it to After Effects, it worked on Premiere's side, but once it got into after effects I wasn't receiving any output (audio or video). I also tried just copy and paste, save and import, every thing, but they all seem to be the same result. I have attached a screen shot of what this looks like in After Effects.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nolan W.

Are you doing this?
Create a composition from clips in Adobe Premiere Pro
In a sequence, select the clips you want in the composition.
Right-click any of the selected clips.
Select Replace With After Effects Composition.

CC Smear issues with After Effects CC

I have tried to use the CC Smear tool for a project. I have tried doing it on After effects CS5, CS6 and CC. Everytime I use the tool it causes tearing or distortion. I am assuming this is the bug that was suppose to be fixed with After Effects CC? I have downloaded the latest update for after effects CC but it still does it. I still have After Effects CS6 installed if that might be related to the issue? I have included a pic which shows on this frame the image has tried to regenerate and has added grey matter also.
Any suggestions? Thank You

I'm honestly not clear on what you are trying to say here. There is no bug, the tool works just fine. Deducting from your image I can only see that you are using a layer style and that may actualyl be the problem - they are applied after any effects and may look odd if the layer content produces semi-transparent areas. Well, whatever, the same old AE trope is true: In case of doubt, pre-compose.

Premier Pro CC 2014 (just downloaded and installed) and After Effects dynamic link results in empty comp

Help!
I have seen one other question about this problem without a resolution. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
I have followed the instructions on Adobe.com both the written version and in a video tutorial. I right click on a clip and choose 'replace with After Effects composition'. After Effects opens and asks me to save and name the new project: all good. Then the project opens and there is no clip in the composition or the project pane - just the composition itself. Switch back over to PP and the clip is referencing the AE comp - but is blank.
Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? In the video tutorial and written instructions it seems to just work.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. It turned out that when I last updated my creative cloud, one of the two programs had not completed updating to the newest version (I forget whether it was Premiere or After Effects).

Premiere-After Effects Dynamic Link render times vary wildly after minimal composition changes

Here is something strange that happens a lot to me.
I'll have a sequence in Premiere Pro CC 2014 that is entirely or largely an AE comp that I have dynamically linked. I'll use a specific case as an example, but it's happened with various projects.
In this most recent one the visual (but not audio) of my Premiere sequence is one AE dynamically linked comp of about 90 seconds. It's more or less a fancy slide show- some photos with moves, some text, motion blur, masking, maybe a few filters. Fairly basic stuff as far as After Effects goes.
Anyhow, I like to render the sequence in Premiere and then watch it down with music to see if the timing works and make adjustments from there. That's my usual workflow. The strange thing is that when I render, the render times can vary tremendously. With this particular project, one time rendered in about 2 minutes in Premiere. I watched it down and I noticed a spelling error, which I fixed. Just changing one word of text in AE. This, of course, causes the entire linked comp to need to be rendered again in Premiere. This time when I go to render, it took about 20 minutes and it only got about 70% of the way through. A huge difference and all I changed was a couple letters, which shouldn't impact how intensive of a render is needed. What I usually do is cancel the render when it takes that long, then quit Premiere, reopen, and render right away after I open. When I do this, after the application restart, the sequence will then render in the faster approximately 2 minute duration. Almost invariably this is true.
So I end up quitting and restarting Premiere a lot to get the faster render times. But of course that's annoying.
What is going on here?
I know that some might have critiques of the workflow and watching in Premiere and the fact that one letter change forces the entire sequence re-render. I know I could break it up and there are ways around that. But I am not interested in such critiques. My work flow actually is quite efficient when the 2 minute render time happens. Just not when it takes 10x more than that for the same thing. Why are there these huge render time swings?
My guess is that some cache gets filled up, so when the application is just started, and the cache is empty, the render works much better. But I really do not know.
Help please.

There is currently a bug that causes Dynamic Link performance to be poor when the main After Effects application is running. (The underlying issue is that the main After Effects application is sending many more messages during Dynamic Link than it needs to.)
The easy workaround is to quit the main After Effects application when using Premiere Pro to process a dynamically linked After Effects composition.
This bug is fixed in an update due to be released in less than two weeks.

Poor quality after timeline rendering of after effects dynamic link comp.

One of my typical workflows involves dynamic linking AE comps into Premiere- Often I can playback the timeline in Premiere without rendering and achieve great results with no dropped frames. This scenario is ideal since I need to play out sequences in premiere passing them through a Matrox MXO2 LE box to capture them on another system. However, I have noticed recently that if I need to render the Premiere sequences before playback because the dynamically linked AE comps are more complicated, I lose quite a bit of quality after rendering.I've searched around and read about different quality settings in both AE and PP and I can't seem to find any settings that affect this process. Pause and playback quality are both set to full, tried checking rendered maximum depth/quality in the sequence settings and I still can't get this right. I am perplexed since I would think that results would be better post-render.

The video preview settings were set to DV NTSC. I'm not sure why I didn't think to look at those settings. I went ahead and downloaded the Ut Video Codec Suite and things are now looking great - just like they do when I do not render the sequences. I am noticing now that my HD sequences usually are setup to use Matrox's Mpeg2 I frames only codec.
Is the lossless codec choice always the best/most efficent choice to be used for the preview codec? I assume if I was not dynamic linking I should match this codec with the codec of the files in my sequence, is this correct?

Having Issues with after effects, advice needed

Hi I am having some unusual issues and a general question about after effects.The first question is how to remove all the thumb marks that i keep making ever time move the time line indicator down the time line, it auto creates thumb marks that I don't want.
The second issue and this is a odd one is that i have two files 1) about 3 gb and 2) about 5 gb and the 5 gb I cut in half for the final rendering but i come out with a 168gb avi file???
How did I use about 6gb of footage and render it out to 168gb I'm confused.
I am using the general settings, I used avi because my trail version is not showing any other animation type like QuickTime movie (which is what I really would prefer) I don't understand where is all the extra data is coming from.
This file is so big it pauses for a fraction of a second every 2 seconds of footage when played via a player like window media player.
I would love any help.
Thanks

First, I very strongly recommend that you start at the beginning and take the time to work through these basic materials to learn After Effects:
http://adobe.ly/bjBT3P
Your questions show a lack of basic terminology, so it's going to be very hard for us to help you until you learn at least enough so that we're using the same language.
Regarding QuickTime: You need to install QuickTime. You can get it from the Apple website.
Regarding large output files, heed Rick's advice and use the FAQ list for this forum, specifically this item:

Finally, it sounds like you've turned on auto-keyframing. If so, turn it off.

Okay, I've just about had it with CS!@#$4....I am getting the above message every time I try to import an after effects compostions. Yes, I did upgrade to windows 7 not to long ago but I have already built a composition and even imported into into Premiere Pro CS4 with no problems. Now I get into the same project and try to link the AE comp. and it throws this message in my face. Just for one minute I wish I could change this program into a human being so I could throw it around the room for a while!! Ahhhhhhh!!! What's happening???!! Help Please!!???

Reloaded the entire suite and the problem is gone. When in doubt reload, it is sad that I've had to do this the number of times I have. Final Cut you are looking pretty sweet to me right now. Adobe get to work son! And get a call center back in the US! The only thing I get from your current call center is either one--someone telling me to read a document that has been sent to me 10 times or two-- hung up on....ahhhhhhhh!! Get it together!!
Sorry....side note---thanks everyone for your help

Illustrator issues with After Effects CS5

It seems i have discovered a bug with CS5 illsutrator files and CS5 After Effects. When importing illustrator files or layers into AE working on the project, saving, closing and then reopening the same project, the illustrator files apepar to be present in the project window but actually need to be reloaded in order for them to register properly and therefore be visible in the composition window.
Subsequentally, when rendring these comps without "reloading" the illsutrator files the renders, as expected are missing the illustrator elements.
This issue has been recently been acknowledged by Adobe and I am told is going to require an engineering fix. As of right now there has not been a projected date for the patch or update. As a work around in the meantime, Adobe recommends when working with Illustrator CS5 in comjunction with AE to save illustrator files as Illustrator CS4 files and then import for use in CS5 AE.

Let us know whether that is working for you.
Is this Windows-specific? I've never had this problem on my Macs. I'm on CS5, not 5.5.

Font Issue with After Effects CC

I am running After Effects CC (on Mavericks).
After creating an animation using fonts from Typekit, I now am having trouble where the fonts flicker back and forth between two different ones during the animation. At first, I thought I accidentally did something with animating it, but after deleting that type layer, creating a new layer, saving, exiting and returning, I now have the same issue.
The last time after rendering a video, these error messages popped up:
after effects problem invalid glyph ID (83::2)
After Effects warning: Unknown Exception
So I force quit the program. When restarting it, the error message below shows:
These are the fonts that have trouble. It looks like it is flickering between ProximaNova bold and regular. What is causing this and how can I fix it?
Lately I've had trouble syncing to the cloud.

I first downloaded the fonts with typekit, then created the project in After Effects. I just tried to purge the Image Cache Memory but it made no difference. It's strange that in one text layer, I use two fonts, in two weights. Proxima Nova thin and Magneta bold. The issue is that one of the words in Magneta bold (but not all of them) will flicker between bold and regular. I paused it when it looks like the regular weight and it still says it is bold even though it isn't.
I just selected it changed it to another weight and then to the one I wanted and now it looks fine. Any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? It's happened twice already.

Rendu media encoder / after effect dynamic link, modification non prises en charges

J'ai un projet sous after effect CC. Je le link dans première, ajoute la musique, les sons etc... Je lance un export via media encoder.
Je me rends alors compte que je n'avais pas activé le flou de mouvement sur quelques calques dans AE. Je modifie donc, retourne à première qui m'affiche bien la modification dans l a fenêtre de prévisualisation. Je relance l'export via media encoder, et je me retrouve, après quelques temps de rendu, avec le mème export... Le flou de mouvement n'apparait pas dans le fichier final ! Tout est vérifié et enregistrée, le flou est bien coché dana AE, bien présent dans la fenètre de previsualisation de première...
Pourquoi à chaque export, il n'exporte pas ce qui est affiché ? C'est comme si il utilisait une sorte de cache alors que j'ai tout vidé ?

Adobe After Effects Dynamic Link Problem (Please Help!)

Hello i've recently had this problem when i open Adobe it takes a while then i get a message come up about not having Quicktime not installed (Which i do have installed and the latest version) and then it comes up with another message reading this:
after effects error: Crash in progress. Last Logged message was: <1076> <Dynamiclink> <5> C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\cs6\dynamiclinkmanager.exe
Please can someone tell me what to do?

The only thing I can figure out is that you are running a Widows operating system and AE CS6.
In many cases the message that you don't have QucikTime installed is because you have some 3rd party codec packs installed that are fouling up the pointers to QT. If we knew more about your system, the OS version, and what kind of video files you're using we may be able to give you more help.
One last thing. Have you run the latest CS6 updates?
