Premiere to AE Dynamic Link CinemaDNG Problem

Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem when I dynamic link from premiere to after effects. I have raw shot on a BMCC and edited it in Premiere Pro. It's for a greenscreen with alot of effects. So I selected all the clips in my timeline and selected make this a AE comp. The adobe camera raw settings pop up and I set the colour and it all seems fine until..... I go to play the clip! I can see it's only imported 1 frame of the entire clip. I'm not sure how to work around this problem because I want to keep my edits but also have access to indivdual clips in AE. HELP! What am I doing wrong? I tried reloading the clips in AE but it loses all the edit points.

CinemaDNG sequence per se can be easily imported into AE. The issue is the OP has edited PrPro project with improperly stored data in .prproj file, which reference each CinemaDNG sequence as a single frame because of importer implementation.
He can not relink CinemaDNG sequence to another image sequence because of long standing PrPro inability to relink a footage to an image sequence. However, he can replace them with a footage in MOV or AVI container, be it a proxy or an intermediate, and then easily replace all those proxies or intermediates with original CinemaDNG sequences in AE retaining proper In and Out points.
NB: Prior to relinking CinemaDNG sequences to MOVs or AVIs inside PrPro project they have to be interpretted as having proper frame rate, not their default 1 fps assinged on importing.

Encore, Premiere, Dynamic Link, MPE & Problem?

My set-up is CS5 with an nVidia GTX-460 (hacked to conform for MPE). The project used is HDV 1080i60. I created the Encore project by importing Premiere sequences.   I am burning a DVD.
First an interesting discovery -
     I was surprised to see that Encore used MPE when transcoding. I have a gadget that shows GPU load.
Now the not so good -
     I was having a terrbible time getting the, very simple, single timeline, no menus, just chapter marks, DVD to burn.   Sometimes I got an "Encode Failed". And a few times the system (Win 7 64-bit) blue screened! Until this this system has been rock solid. In my debugging I figured that I'd turn-off MPE and see if that helped. Hmmmm. No option for that in Encore. However, I went into the Premiere project and turned it off there.   Voila! Encore now does not use the GPU and the DVD burn completed.
Of course, this could be an issue with my un-supported GTX-460. But maybe not . . . .

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link not working as part of Production Premium CS5

I ran into a situation whereby I recently reinstalled my Production Premium CS 5 onto a new computer and when trying to run the Dynamic Link out of Premiere PRO CS 5 to create a new After Effects composition, After Effects tried to start up but then crashed with the error that Production Premium was needed.
Yet, I had Production Premium CS5.
(Note: The crash didn't occur when I simply tried to use Dynamic Link without anything selected in my project or timeline - but the moment I had a clip in my timeline selected to work on it, the dynamic link would not work as covered above.)
In checking around the forums I found various answers to this problem such as rebooting the computer, reformatting hard drives and/or whatever. This all may be correct.
However, as I just went through that nightmare, I was not anxious to do that again. So, I called Adobe and the following solution solved the matter in 5 minutes:
1. Close all your other Adobe applications such as After Effects.
2. Open up Premiere Pro CS5 and then deactivate it by going to HELP>DEACTIVATE and then Permanently Deactivate.
3.Close the application and restart Premiere Pro CS5.
4.Then do the same to Activate it.
5. Have your serial number handy and plug it in when prompted.
Solved it right away and worked beautifully.
Not to say there couldn't be more complicated situations, but the above worked and the simpler the better is good for me. And I thought I would post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Adobe Premiere Pro: Adobe Dynamic Link requires Adobe Production Premium?

Hi all!
We upgraded for some while ago from CS4 to CS5, but forgot to remove CS4 in the thrill of exploring CS5. It's two computers with Master Collection, but the problem I'm going to tell you about is only occuring on one of the computers.
We uninstalled CS4 from Computer 1. And after the unistallation of CS4, Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore won't work.
Computer 2 has still CS4 installed, and the Dynamic Link works on that workstation.
These computers are both Win 7 64 bit.
How do I fix this? The Dynamic was such a nice part of the worklow.
Any updates that were recently published or any fixes or workaround. Cause we have tried to unistall and reinstall and unistall and reinstall and even ran the Clean Tool a few times.
Thanks for any help

HII!
Unistalled everything, from CS5, to Adobe player to Flash and ran the cleanupscript some times and ran CCleaner on the registry. After 6 reboots, I installed CS5 again, downloaded all updates and now it works!
Thanks for the help guys!

How can I retain Speedgrade Lumetri effect on a Premiere clip when dynamic linking that clip to Afte

I'm trying to streamline the workflow between me (editor) and the animator at my office.
Right now we are exporting clips as ProRes files to be tracked and rotoscoped by the animator in AE and then dropping them back in Premiere. We work off a server so it would be much faster to simply dynamic link my clip that needs screen replacement animation into an After Effects comp. Then the animator could open that After Effects file on the server and do their work then just save it so it will automatically repopulate in my timeline with the tracked shot.
The problem is here. I want to color correct in Speedgrade before animation so I'm not having to track around screens. So I color correct and the clips come back to Premiere with the Speedgrade Lumetri effects applied. Then I dynamic link to AE. But when the tracked shot returns from AE, the Lumetri color effect is completely lost, which causes me to have to re-color and track around the screen replacement animation.
Does anyone have any tips for this? The help is much appreciated.

I just responded to this on another thread, but let me repeat it here for convenience:
Like you, I too (and I presume most everyone) first send to SG for color correction and then (actually after another SG trip for grading) replace with AE comp for effects work. And when I try that with my CC 2014, I have the same issue (all SG effects disappear after replace with AE comp). But I believe I've found a simple workaround (at least working great so far):
Instead of replace with AE comp, open AE and drag the PP comp to the AE projects - it will appear like a clip.
Create an AE comp with that and do your thing.
Save as AE project and import it into PP - it will appear like a clip that you can use in PP (as if you'd done a replace with AE comp).
Everything will be dynamic: if you change the SG corrections, the changes will get reflected everywhere (in AE as well as the AE project imported in PP), and what you do in SG will apply BEFORE the AE stuff, which is exactly what we want. Looks like Adobe put all the capability in, but the replace with AE comp is not making use of it yet - I will report this.
One other related issue is that for some weird reason, you can't drag the imported AE project in PP onto a PP sequence, BUT you can select it and ask to create a new PP sequence! Go figure.

Adobe premiere and encore dynamic link

When I tried to go from Adobe Premiere 5.5 to Encore by Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore I found it NOT Working and
Also in Encore when I go File> Adobe Dynamic Link > Import Premiere Sequence it does not work?

Hi Stan,
Thank you very much for your help and quick reply and I have to buy you a free drink now. Ha…Ha….
I spent about 6 hrs. try to searching for the fix but I could not find anything except a few people stated that you could fix this Dynamic Link by going to help/deactivate the activate but I did not to try it
Encase I lose all Premiere. Do you think it will work?
The problem started after I had chat with Adobe support team to help me to reinstall Production Premium and after that the link did not work.
On my user account in premiere when I click on DL it does nothing and in Encore when I try to import the sequence I can see the window with disk activity but I cannot select any item.
I can open premiere and encore separately but I cannot link them?
I create a new user account and also I cannot send Premiere project to Encore But I can import Premiere’s sequence without any problem?
Any Idea how to fix this by repair not by uninstall because I had a lot of problem when I had to reinstall them. Is easy to repair them?
You also stated to me it is better to export from premiere to Encore directly without losing any quality, What is the best setting for this and I will buy 2 drinks.
Thank you again.

Encore Adobe Dynamic Link Audio problem

I have a multiple video files that I have put together in Premiere. The are HD Dolby 5.1 sound. I have about 10 of these together. So I export them to Encore using the Adobe Dynamic Link. I built the menu system. When I burn the dvd and try it. It plays through the first two clips just fine and when it gets to the third. The sound goes out and never returns on the rest of the clips. But when I test it in Encore and Premiere there is sound and it works great. Anyone know why when i burn the dvd I loose the sound on the 3rd clip? Thanks.

Premiere Pro CS4 dynamic link to Encore CS4

I'm a newbe and I have a fundamental question about the Premiere Encore workflow. When I edit a project in Premier and I use the File>Dynamic Link>Send to Encore command, I get "Start New Project" from Encore. How do I update the edits I did in Premiere to a current project in Encore? Is there a way to Dynamic Link Premeire edits while I'm in Encore?

I have the exact same problem. I linked them together, but when I made the change in Premier Pro, the changes did not update in Encore. Everything
I read and watch on Adobe says it will happen automatically, but I'm not seeing it happen. Is there any way to replace an existing timeline in Encore with its updated sequence in Premier?

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)

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.

Premiere Pro CS6 Dynamic Link not working

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone has seen issues with the Dynamic link options in Premiere Pro CS6, all the options to work with After Effects are greyed out although this product is installed.
However I only have CS5 for after effects, is this a compatibility issue or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Steve

Dynamic Link only works within one version, so you can't use it between CS6 and CS5 or CS5.5 and with older versions you had to have a complete suite, not individual products.

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.

Premiere to Speegrade dynamic link

Im really hoping that there will be the ability to dynamic link from PrP to SG on a clip by clip basis. Most people I know dont work on projects that ever experiences "Final Lock". Exporting timelines may work great for features, but it sucks for commercial and corporate projects. The ability to DL between PrP and AE would allow me to use SG. Without that ability I will never use SG. Lots of folks I am in contact with echo this sentiment. Heres hoping

Jim Simon wrote:

This brings up a fair question. What is the recommended work flow when client changes are requested? Clearly, the reedit will occur in PP. But how do we keep all the work we've already done in SG the first time 'round and apply that to the new edit? Without Dynamic Link, what is the work flow in such a scenario? Are we really forced to reexport from PP and redo all our CC and grading?
Hi Jim,
there's no perfect answer to this, but let me try to give you a couple of ideas:
SpeedGrade CS6 has some very basic editing features (trim, delete, dissolve, insert black). While I typically wouldn't recommend using SpeedGrade for editing, it has been used in the past sucesfully to apply minor changes (something simple like replacing a title sequence, changing speed or some elements of credits, shortening one particular shot).
If you only need to replace some shots, I'd probably send them to SpeedGrade separately, grade them, render them, insert them in PPro.
If you need something like a different version for other distribution channels (like a horrible 4:3 for the next Lufthansa presentation of your beautiful 2.35:1 footage), that can be done in SpeedGrade itself by using the Pan & Scan track
If you want to work with EDLs and keep the project "hot" for as long as possible, it might be interesting to look into the reconfrom option (this isn't documented yet as it was added rather late in the game - I hope to record a tutorial rather soon). Basically: this will work if you restrict your grading work to the initial layer stack presented in SpeedGrade. You can then use multiple Conforms in one SpeedGrade project and let the application identify which shots are the same from Conform to Confrom (and automatically apply grades based on Reel ID / shot info from the EDL).
I am sure other users out there have other ideas, but these are some concepts I have seen being used with good results in the past.
Cheers,
Pat
