Premiere and After Effects CS4 Dynamic Link "glitches"

I am no longer able to use dynamic link when I try to link to multiple AE compositions from Premiere.
What happens is, when playing the sequence back in premiere, there are random frames in the dynamic link clip that are out of order. For example if I have two compositions, A and B, each 1 second, and they are in my Premiere project, the playback might do something crazy like this:
Should be (frames):
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Really:
AAABAAAAAAAAAABBAAAAAAAABBABABABABBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
I'm not sure if there is any pattern to it, but dynamic link is just not working. I thought this might be a preview issue, so I tried rendering it and I got the same incorrect sequence as the preview. I've tried things like removing and adding the compositions again, or deleting the media cache, but this always randomly comes up.
My only option has been to export in AE (and when doing uncompressed that can use a lot of disk space).
Any ideas as to how to solve this? Or is dynamic link just a broken feature?

Well that was stupid. I had to rename the compositions (they were created from Premiere so the automatic names had a trailing number). Then I had to reimport the comps and place them over the old broken ones (clearing the cache didn't seem to help with those).
After replacing with comps without numbers and clearing all of the caches, it seems to be working so far.
I can't believe this bug even exists. Especially when the "Replace with After Effects composition" will repro the bugs. Sounds like poor testing on Adobe's part.
At the very least this should be documented somewhere officially. I was able to find this post on the web after looking up this specific issue: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/adobe_dynamic_link_troubleshooting.html

  • Dynamic Link for Premiere and After Effects CS4 with Titles

    I've created a Rolling Title in Premiere Pro CS4.  I'd like to create a Dynamic Link to bring the title into After Effects CS4 to add effects that will show up in Premiere.  I've watched a few video tutorials on Dynamic Link and read the documentation and tried a variety of permutations but can't seem to get this done.
    Also saw something in these forums about problems using Dynamic Link with Titles (as opposed to regular clip??)
    And something about Premiere and After Effects projects being saved together ??in same folder - is that correct?
    So, could someone explain if this can be done and the right way to do it?
    Thanks

    Thanks Mylenium - appreciate the quick and focused reply.
    I would like to keep the benefits of the Premiere Pro Titler (to play with the length of time by stretching or squashing the Title block on the timeline; to type in time to stay on screen at end; ease in and out etc . . .).  If I do render out a png / tiff / or psd sequence with alpha, and bring that into AFX to play with.  Will I still retain the ability to use the Titler features in Premire Pro, or do I essentially have to convert it to 'regular footage' on reimport as opposed to a 'Title?"
    Thanks

  • Dynamic Link Premiere and After Effects CS4

    I am new to owning the whole suite, so I did not realize that you could use dynamic link. I figured out that I could import premire projects into AE (without linking) I just imported them and assumed I would create my effects and render out the project only to import the rendered video into Premiere. Now, I realize I could have just right clicked on a clip in Premiere and used link.
    Now, my question is can I get those effects prjects from After Effects into premire? If so, then how? i have tried dymanic link and I just get a linked sequence in premeire . . .
    Am I blind or stupid or both?? Please help!

    You can export a Premiere Pro project from After Effects, but the results are usually pretty messy. Because of the different way in which tracks in Premiere and layers in After Effects work (ie. you can have multiple clips on a single track in PPro, but only one clip/item per layer in AE), you can end up with an unmanageable number of tracks in Premiere. Still, it's an option to explore.
    Note that AE-only effects won't come through to Premiere, and certain project items will be recreated in a way you might not expect.

  • 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 and After Effects crash/close on start up

    So far have only tried premiere and after effects, the two I'm most interested in, but they close immediately on start up. Tried talking to chat support twice but they keep forwarding my ticket to some mystery help team that never contacts me. My home system is on windows; currently borrowing a mac and everything is running fine on there so far. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

  • Premiere and After Effects keep running after you close them

    Hi,
    After I upgraded to Premiere and After Effects CC2014 I noticed that the programs kept running in the background when I closed them. Sometimes the program's wouldn't start or shutdown seconds after starting. In After Effects I noticed that multi-processor rendering was slow. CPU utilisation would alternate between 60% and 99%. I didn't have this problems with the previous CC.
    After alot of research and contacting Adobe support I found out that a simple program I had been using for ages called "ObjectDock" was causing all these problems. Without ObjectDock, everything runs smooth. I thought I'd share this with others who might face similar issues.

  • Premiere and After Effects CS5.5 crash on startup

    I had been using Production Premium CS5.5 for a few months without any problems. Then there was a power outtage a couple nights ago and since then Premiere and After Effects crash whenever I try to open them. I get an error message like:
    Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <5980><AppDirs> <5> Required Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\Support Files\Required

  • Adobe premiere and after effects donst apear in my adobe application manager.

    Hi, the Application Manager doesnt display as an download option the adobre premiere and after effects. And when i tried to download from the web a link to my Application Manager apears, the manager opens but nothing happens.

    What operating system are you using?  Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?  The applications won't show if you have a 32-bit OS as they require 64-bit to run.

  • Can't download Adobe Premiere and After Effects

    I just bought a 1 year deal for the Creative Cloud. As far as I understand, all the software from Adobe would be available in the Creative Cloud. But when I try to downlad for instance Adobe premiere, this program don't show up in the Adobe Application Manager. What is wrong? The "onlye programs that shows up is Photoshop, InDesign, Flash Pro, Illustrator, Fireworks, Muse, Dreamweaver, Audition, Prelude, Lightromm, Flash Builder, Edge Acrobat X and Touch App Plugins. Anyone knowing what might be wrong?

    Win7 pro and, unfortunately, 32 bit... Guess I should consider an investment then...
    Thanks for the info.

  • Weird distortion in Premiere and After effects CS6 - need urgent help!

    Hello,
    I've got a serious problem!!! While I was editing a sportsevent I noticed that a lot of shots have some weird distortion. I allready had this problem with other projects. At first I thought it was a problem with my camera (sony EX3).
    But today I started digging more into it.
    I recorded some test footage and didn't import it into Premiere. Instead I tryed to play it straight from the camera with VLC media player. To my suprise the shot was perfect. Then I opend it with premiere and after effects.
    I didn't change anything on the shot and the distortion came back! Then I exported it using media encoder.
    I uploaded two clips: 1 rendered with Premiere, and 1 just straight out of the camera.
    Even when rendered the distortion is in the shot!
    Here is the shot straight out of the camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TNfsltos_s
    And here is the shot rendered in Premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbctDm2VhWM
    I would be very happy if someone can help me out with this! I can't deliver a project to a client with this distortion!

    Ask in the Premiere forum and provide at least some system info. Looks like decoding issues to me, which would boil down to hardware acceleration issues...
