Resolve/Premiere Pro CC 14/AE Linked Comp Round Trip Workflow Q's

Hi All,
I started using Premiere Pro for a project I just wrapped editing. I switched from Avid because I knew I'd be doing a bunch of comping in AE. Here is what I've done so far:
1. Resolve: BMCC/BMPCC Raw files converted to Proxy and exported AAF DNxHD 36 files (originally was going to use Avid)
2. Premiere: Edit footage and during editing created numerous linked AE Comps.
3. Premiere: Finished the cut and am now attempting to determine how to relink the AE comps to the RAW footage to grade and send back to Premiere/AE. I've used an XML to relink to source camera files in Resolve with no issue outside of some effects not supported and the AE Linked Comps.
I understand this is going to be a bit of a manual process but here is what I'm thinking: log each clip used in AE manually, grade the footage in resolve, export as lossless a file as possible (DPX?) and use the 'replace' function in AE to replace the proxy files with the graded footage.
Any tips on how to make this a bit smoother?
Thanks!

I want to dynamically link from from PR > AE > PR.
You can't. Dynamic Link is a one way trip, from PP to AE, or from AE to PP. But it stops after one link.
Instead of importing the project to AE, do a Replace with AE Comp on the desired clips in the sequence.

Premiere pro and after effects linked comp saving ?????

hi guys
ive still not sorted this issue out, im thinking its a simple fix but i just cant get it right .
im using cs 5.5 . i work on a project in premiere pro and do a right click on the footage , then select , replace with after effects composition.
after effects opens up , i do all my effects and when i view it in premiere, it all works fine.
i get half way through my effects and i need to leave it and save, to work on at a later date.
if i save inside premiere then reopen , the footage doesn't reopen as a linked comp??? the sections that where linked with after effects reopen as missing footage
is there a procedure to saving as a linked comp?
does anyone have a link to a tutorial or a video that shows how to do this??im desperate for an answer . can some one please help??

How can I sync up my clip in Premiere Pro with the After Effects Comp I replace it with? How do I link them?

I am having some issues seeing a tracked mask work correctly in Premiere Pro. I clicked on my clip in my Premiere pro project and hit "replace with after effects comp". After correctly masking out everything in AE and tracking it to perfection, I clicked save and went back to my Premiere project. However when I view the new "linked" clip in my project it has dropped frames. The mask seems to track correctly but the dropped frames are an issue. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thanks,
Ajnies

When I return to the linked clip in my Premiere project, it does not contain every single frame of the original after it has been replaced by the AE comp. It skips about every other frame. I am doing a stop motion animation so this is highly noticeable.

Premiere Pro to Media Encoder Link mysteriously stopped working

I have CS6 Master Collection on a Windows 7x64 Ultimate HP Z820, 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000, and have been using it for over a year. I use Premiere Pro and batch Queue to Media Encoder for encoding. The last time I used this workflow for batch was about 130 days ago, and it worked like a charm (like it should). A couple of weeks ago, I was on another project and tried to batch again, just like before, even using some of the same presets (on a 'nothin fancy' timeline) and Pr would create a project file in the TEMP folder after I pressed the Queue button, and AME would launch, and the project would appear in the AME queue. I'd press start, and wait a long time, until finally in the Encorder panel, I'd see "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", after several minutes, I'd get the goat, and find an error of "Could not read source file..." in the logs. After verifying the source was indeed there, I decided this was really a dynamic link issue.
Here are a few more data points from things I've tried (also pointing to a dynamic link issue).
(1) Exporting (encoding) directly from Pr works fine (so the headless AME is working)
(2) Importing a Pr Sequence within AME does not work either, I get an error from the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog (after a long wait “Connecting to Dynamic Link server…”) that “Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed”.
I do suspect this is a dynamic link issue, but don't know why, or what has changed. I've tried the 'create a new Premiere shortcut in dynamiclink folder' solution found on the forums and Google, but it didn't work. When I first tried that, I did find two shortcuts already there, one for Pr and one for Ae, but BOTH of them pointed to a CS4 folder! I've never owned CS4, and went from CS3 Design Professional to CS6 Master Collection. I also suspect this issue was caused by one of the updates to Pr that occurred within the last 130 days (since the last time I know this functionality worked). I've made not changes to my system during that time.
Kyle suggested that it could be firewall problem blocking the TCP traffic used by dynamic link, but I do not use Windows Firewall, and all of this happens on a single machine, so there should be no TCP traffic across the wire (unless it is communicating with Adobe?). I use Webroot Endpoint Protection, but have received no indication that anything is suspect or has been blocked. Any help from the Adobe engineers would be greatly appreciated.
I'd be willing to assist with troubleshooting on my system, as I've done with Audition in the past, but really don't want to uninstall the suite and go through that again. This should be tracked down by looking at the updates pushed out to CS6 withing the last 130 days. I think there have been two.
Thanks,
Shane

I've resolved my problem thanks to post by @gagneh on this forum. It turned out to be the NVidia nView Desktop Manager applet found in the Control Panel. It was enabled, and I believe it has been enabled for a long time. I don't know if something in a recent update broke things, but as soon as I disabled the Desktop Manager, my dynamic link started working again in all aspects. Give it a try. Good luck.

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 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

Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram. I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
burned using freemakevideo converter.
I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
Do you know why this is? I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.
Please help

Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

Premiere pro and after effects ,,, linked?

can anyone help me? does anyone know how you save a linked project to come back to at a later date?
sometimes when youve linked a premiere pro project to after effects and you dont have the time to finish it , how can you save the link and load it back up at a later date to finish?

Hi Mat,
I think I've found at last the solution to your problem; it doesn't seem to me very logical but anyhow it worked so as the French say goes " against ill fate, good heart" (not sure this should the proper translation!)
As to be in your position I worked with my project in the same way. Briefly my project includes a prologue of the Eruption of Vesuvius of 79 AD which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the time line I have some shots of the Vesuvius, in total some 30 seconds split into 4 or 5 clips.
My purpose here is to eliminate from the Vesuvius' cliffs any traces of the actual XX-XXIst century life, roads, trails, cars, observatories, trails inside the volcano of scientists going to take measures.
For this I used the Clone/Stamp effect. I did not use the tracker method because:
a/I'm not familiar with it,
b/ the shot is practically static, hence not the use of the tracker method; the helicopter's movement has been obviously slowed down in post or may be while shooting and it is very stable. you have on 1st picture the original footage a
After some 900+strokes I decided to stop and encode the project as to check how it all looked like. Amazing! lol! The music gives you the creeps in the pyroclastics surges views! Cecil B. de Mille can give back his apron! lol!
But I realized that at a particular moment when the helicopter's parallax with the Vesuvius had changed significantly then the border trail was again partly visible especially the triangle where the seismic observatory is located today; you can see clearly some strokes which were not done correctly and have to be changed on the preview in the second picture.

Preview of the clone stamped lip of the volcano
As i had saved my AE and Ppr Projects and closed the programs I was in the exact situation of yours. I opened Ppr and when I asked the program to reopen the modified clip in AE, It did so but the layer was absent! So I decided to open immediately the AE project saved earlier and then I found my layer made my new corrections and saved again the AE project while in the meantime all the new modifications were automatically transferred in a new instance visible in the project panel. I transferred this on the time line and cleared the old one.and to make sure I would not make mistakes later, I used the remove unused command in the Edit menu.
It shows here(the cerulean label above my AE projects bin) :
As I'll do again such operations I'll create a dedicated bin for these kind of AE projects to differentiate from my regular imported AE projects into Ppr.
Final state of volcano at the same place:
I don't know if this is the right procedure but the fact is it works and what makes me furious is that unless I have to change my spectacles or consult immediately an ophthalmologist , I have not found a trace of explanation anywhere in the help files online, I've checked numerous videos on youtube by young, middle aged or seniorissimo specialists tutorials and no one treat that very elementary aspect problem you and I had to deal with. Of course for someone working in the business for 100 years it's obvious, but thank god I don't intend to wait till I'll be perfectly gaga to find this kind of solution. Nothing is superfluous in an explanation, never forget what happened to a poor animal whose mistress put to dry in her microwave with the result you may imagine. She had the courage to sue the manufacturer for not having stated in the manual that a microwave was not a hair dryer! And she obtained an enormous damages settlement!
I hope the old bag I am has procured you the solution, I'm just an amateur and likely to remain so, as to paraphrase Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady!
Claude
PS:
A s for the use of different versions of programs:
First: as advised by all the guys here I've taken the habit to use the full version of CC and not to mix an older one with a new CC one; I use here AE CC to its latest version and Ppr CC at the same updated moment. So there won't be discrepancies due to slight changes which create compatibility problems. I've had a huge problem once and it served me as a lesson. By the way I also have set up the autosave of all my programs to 5'.It can be annoying but when a problem occurs you're glad not to have to redo 1h work!
Two: during the full development of a project I never change the version of CC with a new updated one for the same reason. I check myself if there has been new updates but do not apply them automatically.

Soundbooth CS4, Premiere Pro CS4, & Adobe Dynamic Link

What do I need to do to import Premiere Pro timelines into Soundbooth? The option for "Adobe Dynamic Link" is in the File menu, but the "Import Premiere Pro Sequence..." option is grayed out and unavailable. Soundbooth was purchased and installed separately from Premiere, but both applications are CS4.

Don't waste your time!!

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
Please help.

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.

Premiere Pro CS6 not loading/linking preview files - any suggestions?

MacPro 2010, 16-core, 2.66 GHz, 32GB RAM, Quadro 4000, OS X 10.7.4
When I save a Project and then reopen it, Premiere Pro CS 6.01 does not load the Preview Files from the Renders. I have checked the specified Preview Files location and the files are there.
In order to work, I must render the entire Project again - which is too time-consuming and counter-productive.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem. I've done many projects in CS6 and this is the first time it's happened. FIrst half of the timeline was fine but the second half of the timeline, that was previously fully rendered, couldn't locate the preveiw files. The preview files are still in the preview folder but it doesn't see them in the timeline anymore. How do you delete those preview files since they are no longer recognized in the timeline? I know you can manually delete them in the preview folder by playing them and matching them to the video clips in the timeline.

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

Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

Hi all,
I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
Thanks.

CS 5 AE comps with Premiere Pro different in CS5.5

I just upgraded to CS5.5 this morning. I'd been working on a Premiere Pro project with imported AE comps for lower third titles. After the upgraded, those comps are no longer transparent -- they cover the underlying video tracks rather than just having a partial opacity lower third strip. I assume this has to do with an alpha layer problem? They were working perfectly before the upgrade, not working now. Anyone have any idea what's wrong and what do to about it?
Thanks!
Laree

I assume that by "imported AE comps for lower third titles", you mean that you are using Dynamic Link to import the AE comps directly into Premiere Pro, as opposed to rendering them to a file first.
We are investigating a problem in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Dynamic Link that may be to blame for this.
Does your setup match the following:
The background color of the After Effects comp is not black. (Not RGB 0, 0, 0.)
Hardware acceleration is enabled for Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere Pro. (Project menu > Project Settings > General, Renderer is set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration".)
If so, you may have tripped over the same bug we're looking at. Sorry about that. The cause of the problem is being investigated.
You can work around the problem by doing either of the following:
Change the background color of your comp to black. (RGB 0, 0, 0.)
Change the Renderer setting in Premiere Pro to Mecury Playback Engine Software Only.
If this problem doesn't match your situation, please elaborate on the contents and settings of your project, and/or post some examples for us to look at.
