Keeping 5.1 audio from PPro CS5 to AE CS5 via dynamic link?

Hi,
I have a project edited in PPro CS5 with 5.1 audio which is showing and working correctly.
However when I use dynamic link to open up PPro sequence in AE CS5 to do my online editing it seems to be importing it as 2 CH Stereo. So when I use Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to render out final online/edited video from AE i can only get it to wok with audio settings set to Stereo.
If I try to select 5.1, this is the error I get...
- Source File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek.aep
- Output File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek_FinalConcept5_h.mp4
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, Progressive
- Audio: AAC, 384 kbps, 48 kHz, 5.1 Channels
- Bitrate: CBR, 26.00 Mbps
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
27/03/2012 2:34:32 PM : Encoding Failed
The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist.
Any ideas how to get AE to see the source 5.1 audio which is originally in PPro sequence so Media Encoder will render out a 5.1 file?
If I change my above custom preset to 2 CH Stereo, the render works, no errors, and video/audio plays fine (which makes sense as AE file is 2 Ch Stereo). But I am looking to keep the source 5.1 audio that my camera records in.
Thanks.

Yup, I've got a new lossless recommendation: Quicktime's PNG codec. It's 10-bit, supports alpha channels, and generally has smaller file sizes than Animation.
If you also have FCP 7 on your machine, you could also give ProRes 422 a whirl. Good codec. Not lossless, but you have to re-render something six times over before you see any kind of image degradation... and for the file size, that's approaching the realm of the magical.

Change encore timeline from premiere pro cs5 via dynamic link?

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find
anything on dynamic link in this forum.
I created my video in encore, and exported the sequence to encore via dynamic link.
I then created all my menus etc. in Encore, after which I noticed a couple of glitches I wanted to change, so I went back to premiere and edited the changes.
How do I get encore to pick up on these changes? It didn't happen automatically as I had hoped, and I don't want to have to recreate my menu structure again in Encore.
So, basically, how do I make a change in Premiere, and have it reflected in my Encore project without creating a new project?
thanks,
Andy

I have a similar problem:
I created a project in PremPro CS5, then used Adobe Dynamic Link which loaded into Encore
where I created menus then saved off both PremPro and Encore.
Today I opened each to make add some titles in PremPro, however, Dyn Link did not send them to Encore
as I assumed it would. How do I get link to do what I have been lead to believe it will do, that is, carry
over changes from PremPro to Encore?
(I tried "Revert to Original" botton suggestion but Encore does not give me this option.
Seems like a strange suggestion since I want to update not revert.)
Details would be helpful.
Thx

Merged Clips in Pr don't import into AE (or export from Pr via Dynamic Link)

anyone else encounter this??
Exporting ANY sequence from Premiere that contains Merged Clips to Ae via Dynamic Link results in NO clips showing up in the AE Comp.
On the flip side, I can Import a Premiere Pro Sequence in Ae, but the only clips that do show up are NON-merged clips.
Here's what a simple test sequence looks like on the Pr side of things:
And here's how it shows up in Ae when choosing Import-->Adobe Premier Pro Project (and selecting single sequence):
vs. the exact same sequence sent from Pr to Ae via Dynamic Link:

Hmm..I wonder if it's Multi-Cam merged, vs just single video track and audio track merged, that is the issue. I'll have to do some more tests.

Apple TV and 5.1 audio from PPro 4.2

Has anyone been able to get 5.1 audio working when Encoding for the Apple TV?
I have no problem exporting 2 channel audio at the 960x540x30p or 1280x720x24p but would love know how to get 5.1 audio working. The ATV supports it.
Anyone have any pointers/links?
Thanks in advance
Tom

Tom,
Thank you for the info on Apple TV. I have to admit that I had never heard of it before.
Am I to infer from your post above that 5.1 audio on PPro CS4 (4.2)... I have the Creative Collection edition is "trial ware" only?
That is correct. PrPro ships with the SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in encoder, but it is limited to 3 uses (unless that has changed). Once one has used it those initial 3 times, one cannot use it again. If they choose the DD 5.1 SS AC3 Export, they will be prompted to buy the plug-in. [Note: if one wishes to purchase the plug-in, Minnetonka, the distributor of the SurCode plug-in, offers a deal for Adobe users. It is available from the pop-up screen within PrPro. This will save money over going directly to Minnetonka Audio. Buy from within PrPro.] Also note that this IS a plug-in and all encoding can be done directly from within PrPro, unlike the two multi-channel types below.
Now, both DTS and Pro Logic II are also available from Minnetonka Audio. They are separate encoders and are only available (now) as stand-alone programs. One can Export from PrPro, and then Import the Audio files into these programs, for full DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic II compliant files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Dynamic Linking Broken

I have a project in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Brough in all my greenscreen footage and did my edits. When I got picture lock from client I "replace with after effects comp" and did my keying in AE. This worked great throughout the project until yesterday when doing some final tweaks. Premiere would not load all the media, it got to 222 items reamaing and stalled, for hours! Then I moved the folder where all my graphics where and skipped the files when loading premiere and premiere then opened. I relinked all my graphics just fine, but when it came to relinking my AE dynamic link projects, got the spinning beach ball. I figured I would just let it spin overnight and see what happened in the am. 12 hours later it was still spinning. This is very frusterating and I can't think what I did to mess it up or if it's a dynamic link problem. I may have opened and edited the AE project without premiere open, maybe thats what messed it up. Any thoughts?

I've heard of other issues with DL from AE, but not this one... the problem I'm used to seeing is that you've got the wrong footage, and that's usually fixed by unlinking and relinking, which you've done. I rarely use AE myself, and when I do, I've generally found that I get better results by NOT using DL... but I know it should work, so perhaps someone else will have some answers for you. As long as you have the AE project still, you can always just render out your comps as lossless AVIs with UT or Lagarith and then import those to PrPro and replace the DL clips...

Premiere CS5 and dynamic link with Affect effects doesn't "sync"

Hi guys, having issues with Pr and Ae CS5 using the dynamic link. I haven't got massive experience using aftereffects, i mainly edit. I doing VFX for a short film ( i know right, deep end..) Its a hand held combat scene.
I'm using action essentials 2 for muzzle flash and explosions. And i'm noticing that when a do tracking (manually, "track motion" doesn't work, due to the shaky camera movement) in After effects, the muzzle flashes are in place and looks great
but when i go back to Premiere to view the clip, its not hitting the same marks in every frame. I export the clip out of Premiere and still the same issue.
example of me manually tracking or adding keyframes for position in after effects.
After effects still. Premiere still. See how the flashes are in the sky.
Look for the two muzzle flashes up the top right, on the ridge line.
The footage is AVCHD .MTS files for a Panasonic GH2 PAL
Here's a link to the clip, notice that same of the flashes coming out of the actor's gun isn't in the right positon also.

We are just shifing to PP from another editor and have only used PP to AE for color correction tests w/Color Finesse (a plugin in AE). My only experinece with dynamic link is in this way. Personally I find it very cumbersome. So take this with a grain of salt, but if we do other work in AE (we have an intern working on a 1.5 min AE animation) I will render it out in AE to ProRes HQ or 4444 if I need an alpha channel (or similar codec) and drag it into my project folder in PP.
You should do yourself a favor (Not meant with disrespect) and take a few hours and REALLY get down and dirty with Dynamic Link between PP and AE.
I use it all the time and it litterally saves me 10+ hours of work on EACH project which is typical between 70 and 300 clips.
In fact, I dont know how I'd do withouth DL.
At first it seems cumbersome, yes. But that is only until you get to know it...
I will cut the whole project in PP. Then save it.
Then in AE, I'll choose "Import PP Project " --- That will open my whole PP project in AE on SEPERATE layers (One layer per Clip).. Ready to CC.
I dont have to render a thing from PP.
If I need to, I'll use the AE Script "Pre Compose" to make an individual composition of each layer.
AE is just about the greatest app I have EVER seen on ANY computer ! Hands Down
Does not get ANY faster than that.

Importing sequence from another project, can't connect to dynamic link

I'm trying to get another sequence from another project into this one (mostly to be able to copy over a specific edit from that without remaking it) and when trying to do so, the system, as per the usual, tries to connect to the dynamic link server, but stalls on the connection screen for some time. One time it simply told me that it could not connect, and another time I got an "unspecified draw error". I'm using a PC. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated; I've never run into this issue before, and have had to copy edits between projects multiple times.

How to send Video from Premiere to Encore via Dynamic Link

Hi there. So I have the adobe suite for students, and I have a project in Premiere Pro, that I would like to make into a DVD. I have exported before with MPEG-2 DVD, but that takes a lot of time and energy, and I don't think the export is as good as it could be (quality-wise). So I would like to use Dynamic Link between Premiere and Encore, but when I go to File-Adobe Dynamic Link- the Dynamic link option is greyed out and I can't click on it which would let me choose "Send to Encore". How can I make this option not greyed out and send it to Encore? Thank you so much for your time!

As the source is HD, then the output should be 16:9 widescreen, but you listed it as 4:3.
In AME, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and then "NTSC DV Wide Progressive" preset.
Besides bitrate, generally don't touch other sliders unless you are experienced, use defaults.
You CAN use the "Max Render Quality" checkbox at the bottom, as that helps with the downscale quality.
While DVDs can theoretically handle a max data rate of roughly 10Mbps (video and audio together), not a good idea to push that limit - as mentioned previously, some players may choke on playback with burned media. Most users have stick to a maximum of 7 or 8 for the video encoding, and then use Dolby audio (Encore will automatically transcode PCM to Dolby).
For longer videos over an hour, you may need to lower the bitrate to fit the material on the DVD. 560/minutes = bitrate works pretty well, just round down a little for safety margin. Example: 560/120=4.66 so use 4.5 average and good to go!

How to export audio from PPro CS6/CC to AJA KiPro?

Hello everyone.
First off, let me state up front that I know all of the specs when creating a ProRes file that will playback on a KiPro. Our shop just switched from FCP 7 to Adobe PPro, and the exports are not working, BUT I believe it's only because we don't know how to select the correct options for the export.
We can see Video, so I think we are fine on the picture side, but what I am looking for is a way to be able to get the audio codec to be these settings:
- Stereo
- Linear PCM
- 48kHz
- 24-bit
- Little Endian
I just don't know where to look for the audio settings to insure that this is really what I am exporting... in the export media window, I have been choosing the following:
I have also tried exporting the files as "Mono", but the sound continues to either not play at all or playback with what sounds like massive distortion.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
-PJ

Well, those settings will give you the first four, but the last is not a user option. It comes out as it comes out and you can't change it. I just don't know if it comes out as big or little.

2. Problem seems to be pop-up screen do not accept any 'click' to input answer to Encore CS5
3. Premiere Pro CS5 working fine

Thanks again pointing out the Adobe CC Cleaner URL
When I said CCleaner previously, I was refering to a program that clean out garbages from PC (broken links, shortcuts, temp files, etcetera..)
But late on, I have found out Adobe CC Cleaner (for Creative Cloud and CS5, CS6...) for cleaning Adobe craps after un-install.
I just wish the hotline could mention it and not having me to swim to find out that tool does exists saving some precious time.
Here is the status and what I have done to fix the problem:
...yeah, I was shooting in the dark...
1. Uninstall completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (remove preferences)
2. Run Adobe CCleaner (choose "all")
3. Shutdown PC, reboot and Cleanup and Defragment C: drive
4. Re-install completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
5. Re-apply completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
       (note: for some reason, I need to do it three times to get the complete updates done, just retry and no changes between retry)
6. Result : PremierePro still working fine, still hangs on Encore
       (Encore dialog screen was frozen as before from the begining and I had to use "Window-Task-Manager" to "end-the-task" of Encore)
7.Conclusion: the problem is on the PC not AdobePremiereProduction
8. Decision: Restore previous checkpoint of Window-7 Professional components
9. Redone steps 1,2,3,4,5
10. The result is the same as mentioned in point 6 and the conclusion is the same as mentioned in point 7.
11. Ultimate Decision: Ground-zero style resfresh (see the follwoing steps)
12. Separate Data from Window-7 (Move out all data from PC and unplug all connected portable hard drives
13. Factory restore of Window-7 Professional using DVD-rescue (hard drive C: wiped out and reformatted)
14. Apply all Updates for Window-7 Professional (over 121 updates, over 700Mb and many shutdown-reboot)
15. Reconfigure Wireless for connecting to Internet
16. Re-Install McAfee Antivirus
17. Re-Install some usefull Softwares (Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, etcetera... Shareport for wireless USB Printer)
18. Lot of Canon and Sony Softwares not re-installed because not used and not needed for now
19. Clean install AdobePremiereProduction CS5 (no need to run Adobe CCleaner)
20. Apply all updates for AdobePremierProduction CS5 (result is intermittent and have to retry few times to get it completed)
21. Apply one by one updates for every single Adobe product to get it done\
22. Shutdown and cleanup C: drive and defragment C; drive
22. From now on, I am sure to have a FRESH an CLEAN PC with a CLEAN CS5
23. RESULT: AdobePremierePro-CS5 still working perfectly AS BEFORE
24. RESULT: AdobeEncore-CS5 standalone do not hang ANY MORE
      but get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks) new
24. Get message saying QUICKTIME not installed (with warning)
25. Okay, install QUICKTIME from Apple to please CS5
26. Shutdown PC, reboot PC just to be sure everything kick in properly
27. RESULT: same as in point 24 (get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks)
28. It's SHOOT in the DARK, ON MORE TIME, BABY
29. Focusing on MicroSoft Visual C++ component: Comparing Installed products between my OLD PC and the freshly factory restored one
30. The old PC has Microsoft Visual C++ 2005,2008 and 2010 (both x64 and x86)
31. the new PC only has Microsoft Visual C++ 2008,2010 (both x64 and x86)
32. Decision : Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (both x64 and x86) (trying to have same softwares on both PC)
33. Reboot PC after install
34. AMAZING RESULT: Adobe-Encore-CS5 is functionning OKAY
35. Testing time: I created a very small project in AdobePremierePro-CS5 and I was able to DynamicLink to Encore-CS5 and I was able to create on disk a DVD
      and I was able to play that DVD
36. DID I DO ALL THOSE STEPS FOR NOTHING, WHY IT WAS SO COMPLICATED,
      I WILL TEST IT AGAIN WITH MY BIG PROJECT (76 Ggis and 1 hour 18 minutes Blu-Ray) sometimes this week
     I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME TROUBLESHOOTING AND I AM LOOSING MY CREATIVITY (....LOL...)
      BELIEVE ME, I AM EXHAUSTED AND NEED SOME REST.
37. The End

Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition Dynamic link does not work. Cannot edit audio in Audition.

Trying to edit Audio from Premiere Pro within Audition thru the Dynamic link but it does not fire up Audition to edit. Seems like a common problem/bug. But no one has posted a solution. Please Help
-Windows 7
-Premiere Pro CC 2014
-Adobe Audition CC 2014

You dont understand it was all working fine in the previous Adobe versions. matter of fact you can go on youtube and see a couple of videos that shows the work flow between Premiere Pro and audition by way of Dynamic link. If you edit a video clip in Premier Pro and want to add some music or simply edit the audio that is contained in the video there was a time within Premiere Pro you can just right click "Edit in Adobe Audition" and Audition would open with the audio clip in place. Much in the same way Premiere Pro works with After Effects thru the Dynamic Link. The Dynamic Link is the bridge between applications to work with each other. For some reason Premiere Pro and Audition Dynamic Link is not working properly.

Dynamic Link Audio Troubleshooting- Premier to After Effects CS5

Hello!
My name is Alley and I've been working on a project in After Effects CS5 using dynamic linked sequences from premier. I've been in this project for a good two weeks without any major problems concerning the dynamic link. When I open the project on another computer, however, sometimes there is audio missing from some of the sequences. I look in the premier project and sure enough the audio is all there, no keyframes or anything and it plays back fine. It just won't appear in After Effects even after a render. I know it probably has something to do with the different computers but I don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem before and if you found a solution.
• Both computers are Mac OS X Versions 10.6.6 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Cores
• After Effects and Premier are CS5 versions, completely updated
• There are no errors or warnings popping up within the programs
• All Dynamic Linked sequences are 2 minutes tops although there are a multiple of them
• Not ALL the sequences have the audio problem, it seems to be random
I can't wrap my brain around how two nearly identical computers with the same versions of both programs are getting different results with the audio in the dynamic link sequence... Help me out?

Quicktime! The versions of Quicktime and or even just some QT component/CoDec may be different between the computers. Also keep in mind, that your alternate computer may in fact require you to explicitly open the project in Premiere to conform the audio properly first. If that hasn't happened, AE may simply not be able to use some tracks as it will expect a conformed audio file. This is critical especialyl with compressed formats. It may even require you to re-render the Premiere timeline on the second computer...

Dynamic link problem, PPro cs5 - AE cs5, multi-cam sequence

This is odd. I'm working on a two camera interview in Production Premium CS5. Did the standard stuff - a source sequence with both cameras, did some rough editing here (syncing the two cameras, trimming the clips, etc.). Then nested the source sequence into a multi-cam edit sequence. Used the multi-cam monitor to switch back and forth between cameras, etc. All is good.
But my editor wants to make three separate videos from this interview. So the logical thing (so I thought anyway) would be to nest this muiti-cam edit squence into three separate target sequences. Then I could get the camera switching done just once, and slice-'n-dice the three target sequences to make the short-'n-sweet individual videos that make my editor happy. Did this for the first target (a single question and answer). The result looks fine in PPro, and editor approves. All that's left is adding the lower thirds.
Everything fine until I go to export to AE via dynamic link so I can add lower thirds and finish up. What PPro sends to AE isn't just my target sequence, but it also sends the multi-cam edit sequence and the source sequence as well. But.... it ignores it all and will only show me the Acam footage. Bcam doesn't show up at all. Clearly this isn't working. But now I find that I can't even break the links. So I can't even start over. Sigh...
Two questions: First, how does one export a multi-cam edit sequence via dynamic link from PPro to AE, and have it show up in AE looking like it does in PPro? In other words, what did I do wrong?
Second, how can I recover from this? Do I really have to delete my target sequence in PPro and start over (and by extension, delete the AE project also)? Is there no way to sever a dynamic link once it's made?
Bruce Watson

Um.... didn't work. Seems that AE and PPro have different ideas of what "transparency" mean. The lower thirds composition in AE has a transparent (black) background which works fine in AE (I've used this lower thirds quite a bit in AE so I know it works pretty well), but when I import it into PPro it shows as white, and is completely opaque. Lettering doesn't show up either (but the letters are white so that's not such a surprise given the background), but the motion is still there. None-the-less, either way I tried it (copy and paste, or export from AE as a PPro project, then import it in PPro and drag the AE built sequence to the timeline) didn't work.
Trying to export just the lower third comp from AE through dynamic link as a PPro project didn't work either. Failed weirdly. It popped up the right sequence creation box in PPro, so I could pick AVCHD 1080p30 as the sequence type (matching the other sequences in the project), and created the new sequence with the correct name. But the sequence was empty. It wouldn't let me drag the lower third sequence anywhere either, so I couldn't put it on a timeline.
Sigh... this isn't supposed to be this difficult. But hey, if it was easy anyone could do it, yes?
