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.

  • Dynamic link with After Effects workflow questions... (exporting from PPro)

    I have CS5 Master on Win7 x64 pc
    I have a Premiere sequence with an AE linked comp in it...
    If I am using proxies (created at high quality, not low) or pre-renders (in AE comp), would that have any affect on render/export times in Premiere Pro (or Adobe Media Encoder)?
    What is the best workflow for having AE comps in Premiere to maximize export times in PPro?
    Thanks all!

    Umm... sure? To be perfectly honest, I've never tried it!
    As it is, I don't think that's the case; you can set a post-render action in AE to import the rendered file back into your project, but I don't think there's an automatic replacement or addition to the existing comp. You'd have to do that manually. But given that, if you're already rendering out a finished comp, why not just import it into Premiere Pro and forget about the Dynamic Link?
    A proxy in AE is essentially a low-resolution version of a footage item, not a finished comp. So short of doing a bait-and-switch where you build your comp, render it out of AE, import the rendered file back in, and put it as a layer into the finished comp (on top, presumably, since that will basically null the rendering of the other layers below), I don't believe there is a more straightforward workflow.

  • Dynamic Link from After Effects CC to Premiere Pro CC Performance Issues

    I just updated my After Effects and Premiere Pro to CC and since doing so I've found numerous performance issues.  One that is seriously hurting my workflow is the poor performance of the dynamic link with After Effects compositions into Premiere Pro.   In CS6, you could make a change to the AE composition, save it, click over to Premiere Pro and it would quickly update and you can play your timeline and preview your changes.  You could also move the clips around and add cross dissolves and watch the changes quickly in Premiere Pro CS6.  Now, since updating to CC, if you save the composition in AE and click over to Premiere Pro it won't update on its own.  Sometimes it just shows a single frame of the AE composition.  I found that if you right click and "Edit Original", go into AE and then click back over to Premiere Pro and it will finally update.   But if you make any changes to the placement of the AE composition on the timeline, or add a cross dissolve, fade, etc. it again won't play the AE composition any longer.  After you make any changes to the AE composition you have to right click and go to "Edit Original", go into AE, and then click back over to Premiere Pro.. Then it will finally update.

    Thanks Kevin.
    Unfortunately in my case the export doesn't solve the issue. The video only looks good while in the composition... I've tried exporting it in all the different formats with several codecs, but to no avail...
    You can check my own post in the After Effects forum: AE linked composition looks different in Premiere

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link with AE CS5.5

    Hi everyone,
    I'm experiencing a problem with dynamic links. I have Premiere Pro CS5, AE CS5 and CS5.5 on my computer. When I do "replace with an After Effects comp" in Premiere Pro, it creates a Dynamic Link with AE CS5 and not CS5.5. Is there a way to tell Premiere to use CS5.5 version of AE and not CS5 ?
    Fred

    Not exactly Harm...
    It's possible to import AE CS5 composition directly to PrPro CS5.5 via Adobe Dynamic Link, but not vice versa (i.e. it's impossible to import AE CS5.5 composition into PrPro CS5)

  • Dynamic Link with PP/After Effects CS5 question

    So, first time using After Effects ever. Absolutely loving it, can't wait to really learn this program.
    Anyways, my situation.
    I have a 15 second commercial I'm editing with Premiere Pro CS5 on my MacBook Pro. The second to last shot, I initially right clicked the clip in the timeline and selected "Replace With After Effects Composition." I did some motion graphics on this shot, and I'm pretty sure when I was done, I rendered the timeline in PP which synced back into PP what I did in AE. I believe at that time I closed AE completely without saving the composition.
    Now I still have this shot in my PP timeline and it still has the AE effects I added, but I do not believe there is any saved AE file that references that composition. Whenever I click "Replace With After Effects" it just opens a new linked composition, but instead of any footage and animation, there is just a big color bar screen.
    Is there any way to still edit this composition in AE? What is the proper way to save files linked between PP/AE so you can completely close both programs and open them later and still edit the composition?

    See, that's what I would think to, but I'm almost sure I did not save the linked comp in AE.
    Not on my computer now, but I could check on lunch.
    I guess I could just create a dummy project in PP, open a linked comp thru Dynamic Link, do a few changes in AE, render/sync to PP, and then close AE w/o saving and see what happens?
    Are there any good walkthroughs you guys are aware of? I'm reading how pre-CS5, Dynamic Link was really only a "one-way" street, but that has changed in CS5.

  • Premiere Pro CC and Dynamic Link Manager Issues

    I have a previously purchased copy of Adobe Production Premium CS5 installed on my computer as well as a subscription to CC with a few apps installed.
    I had a project opened in Premiere Pro  CC, off of an external hard drive, and as I was  working on it, trying to open it in Speedgrade. I decided to install Audition. However, it prompted me to close the dynamic link manager. Once I did, my project began messing up. As I tried to open the program, my sequences and merged clips disappeared and  I don't know what to do. My semester project is due tomorrow. Premiere won't let me open the file (neither cs5 and CC) and the ones that do open have all the clips but no sequence nor merged clips that I previously had. I did notice that the dynamic link is no longer opened in task manager after restarting and restoring the system(with the ejected hard drive). How do I reopen it? And, will it solve the problem?

    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 exports fail to recognize changes made to Dynamic Link through After Effects

    Hi there,
    I am having an issue with Premiere Pro CC and Dynamic Links/After Effects CC.
    I will be working within the PP CC timeline using footage, and then add motion graphics using Adobe Dynamic Link to AE CC. I notice an error in timing, or spelling, colouring - literally any type of error in AE CC that I want to correct. I go to AE CC and make the correction, go back to PP CC, and it shows up as changed. I go back to AE CC, purge media cache, memory, etc. and save the workfile. I go back to PP CC and export using Media Encoder. After waiting for the export to complete, I find it maintained the same error from a previous edit.
    Does anyone know why this would be? Is there any way to avoid having to restart every time I make a small change to an edit?
    Thank you in advance for any insight.

    It has now happened to myself and my co-worker. The only way we have been able to "solve" the problem is by deleting cache/restarting both programs/restarting the entire computer. It shows up as changed within the Premiere project, as well as in the preview in Adobe Media Encoder - and then the final output does not reflect those changes.
    Another suggested workaround to anyone else out there who is problem solving is exporting directly from Premiere, but none of these solutions seem to work 100% of the time, nor really address what this problem really could be stemming from.

  • Dynamic link to After Effects problem

    My computer crashed a little while ago, and we had to reload the system, but no data was lost.
    The project i am working on, has every single shot dynamicly linked to After Effects.
    The links held up fine, but there is one problem, about 10 shots have some how recut them selves, and or have been shortend. The funny thing is, is that some how the audio still matches up. I cant seem to figure out how to solve this problem.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated,

    Just an update:
    With disc utilities I repaired the permissions.
    I reinstalled cs5 production premium.
    I updated it to the actual version (flash occured an error, but the other ones were fine)
    I opend the project: no links to most of the media.
    I relinkt all media - except the dynamic links to After Effects. That just doesn't work.
    I saved the project on a different drive with a different name.
    Opend the new project and - again - most of the files didn't link again! Missing more than 10.000 links to jpegs, psds, mxfs.
    I opend the new and the old project on another mac - same results.
    I think, repairing permissions with disc utility doesn't affect Adobe's software (Apple says that some 3rd Party Applicaton might not be affected.)
    I found a workflow for repairing permissions in the case of updating-failure, but I didn't try that, as I don't want to make things worse.
    Is there a way to repair CS5 permissions "internal"?
    Thanks in advance,
    Philipp

  • Adobe Premiere CS5 and Open Directory users - Premiere fails to start

    We have several class rooms with desktops that are configured for Open Directory.
    When a student logs in he's actually working in his home folder on the server and his user is also managed by the server.
    This works fine for all the applications that we're using except for Adobe Premiere CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5. Whenever a student tries to start one of them the application will hang and only a force quit can stop it. It is impossible to start these applications.
    However, it is possible to use Premiere and After Effects using a local standard on the desktops. But I don't want to go that route. I want the managed users to be able to use those applications.
    Has anyone found a solution for this?
    Are you able to use this applications in a same environment?
    I've played a lot with the permissions on the library, system and Adobe folders, but the problem doesn't seem to be related to them.
    Setup:
    AFP Server: Xserve intel running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
    OD Servers: Mac Mini Servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
    Clients: iMacs intel running Mac OS X 10.6.6

    Safe Mode disables a lot of drivers and services, like networking.  That would seem to indicate that something is running on your system that interferes somehow.
    I'm just not sure how you'd go about tracking that down.

  • Trying to Dynamic Link to After Effects, but it says I need Production Premium, but..

    I have the Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection. What is going on? Can I not use Dynamic Link with the Master Collection? That doesn't make any sense. What am I doing wrong?

    If the application can't communicate with the Dynamic Link server, it may be because TCP communication has been blocked by firewall software. See this document for suggestions about unblocking this communication:

  • Premiere cs5 and message "not responding"

    I Have a brand new i7 system with windows 7 64bit, 6Gb ram, gtx 280 graphic card, one ssd disk 128 gb (main)
    and two hard disk 2 TB as raid, proper for video editing (sata II, 7200rpm), i use intensity pro as outpout card.
    I am trying to edit with premiere cs5 and I use few AE project.
    Unfortunately the programm is unstable, very often i have the message "not responding", especcially when I load
    projects and when i try to save my project. Also the programm working very -very slow.
    Help, can someone help me? Iam very-very-very dissapointed and iam thinking if i have to try another programm.........
    any help is accepted..............

    i have installed 3.9.1 version and its seems to work properly.
    I restarted the system.
    I found that probably small projects (220 min avi ) work better instead
    of the bigger projects (220 min avi video+10 AE proj+3 phd proj)
    where the system frozen.
    I think the problem is the volume of data transfer and the transfer capacity,
    probably this is problem with the disk or partition?
    Unfortunately I am not the expert about computers, basic electronics and
    computers skills.
    I wonder why cs5 worked properly when i worked with ouadro fx580 and
    1tb hard disk (until 30 ayg 2010) and know -after the changes- with
    raid 2 tb hard disk ang grx 285 graphic card  the system ia almost
    out of order.  

  • Premiere CS5 and codecs

    I have a problem with Premiere CS5 (And all other video software for that matter) and the supported video formats.
    What I did was, I installed the Master Collection trial version and when I actually purchased the software I entered the serial and done!...  I thought...
    I know that in the trial version a lot of the codecs are blocked so I thought something might have gone wrong there so when I received the actual Discs I tried reinstalling Premiere but with the same result:
    I wanted to import an IMX 625/50 .mov file but it just wouldn't work, eventhough that should be supported as far as I can tell. Also my export format list was very limited to pretty much the standard codecs from what I can see. So after a bit of trying and reinstalling etc. I installed Final Cut Pro 2 and everything is running fine now, with big lists of export and import possibillities in all the adobe video editing software.
    So the question is: Did I miss something when upgrading from the trial version to the full version

    Depending on the particular FLV files, they should Import into CS5.
    I think that capability was added with the last update of CS4 - CS4.2.1. Before that, one needed something like the Moyea FLV Importer for PrPro, which was a plug-in.
    Now, the CODEC used in the FLV might/might not be an issue. I do not know the exact Flash CODEC's that will function properly, but it seems that Todd commented on that in an earlier thread here.
    In a worst-case scenario, Moyea does have various Flash utilities and programs, and they might help, if some of your FLV's do not work properly.
    Remember, FLV is a delivery format, and is designed primarily for streaming Web content. A great deal of the quality will have been squeezed out of the file, but if the FLV's are all that you have to work with, you are stuck on the quality issue.
    Good luck, and let us know what you find out, regarding the various Flash CODEC's and CS5.
