Sb shows no waveforms when Dynamic Linked to Pr....???

I have the following programs open - Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Bridge CS4 & Soundbooth CS4.
I create a new multitrack file in Sb. Click File\Adobe Dynamic Link\Import Premiere Pro Sequence and select the Project and Sequence. Click OK and the Video Track appears with the project name (reference), thumbnails of the video images and a wide green band with no audio waveforms.
It will play and the meters indicate stereo audio but there is no audio visible anywhere.
Workspace is "Edit Audio to Video," and Properties show the proper sample rate. All sample rates are the same throughout the timeline.
One anomaly is that the Properties "Last Modified" entry is wrong as it shows today's date but about 4 hours later than the actual system clock.
I guess I was under the impression that this workflow would enable me to open my 9 tracks of audio to do sweetening in Sb and that that work would be reflected in my timeline in Pr through the Dynamic Linking.
How is this supposed to work? The documentation is less than useful in both Sb & Pr. There are implications, but no real information on what's what.
Anyone doing this, and, if so, how?
TIA,

Research has revealed that this does not work!! Read this thread:

I posted this in Soundbooth, but it seems appropriate here as well. Hopefully there's an easy answer:

I'm really confused with the whole multitrack thing in Soundbooth. Seems all it is good for is combining multiple files that you can change over again. I don't see how this is useful at all when editing with an NLE. Once the tracks are in there they are stuck and can't be movied if you tweak any tracks.
Like you I don't understand the point of the new soundbooth multitrack file at all. Seems like they stuck it in so that there would be a new feature for CS4.
If you could open an OMF exported by premiere and work like that dynamic linked that would be great. Maybe someone can suprise us with an actual real world use.
Since the update I use Audition anyway. Awesome music app.

Maximum bit depth-maximum render quality when dynamic linking

Hi
A bit confused by the use of Maximum bit depth and Maximum render quality as used both in Sequence Settings and also as options when rendering in AME.
1 Do you need to explicitly enable these switches in the sequence for best quality or, do you simply need to switch them on in AME when you render in Media Encoder?
2 When dynamic linking to After Effects, when should you use an 8 bit vs 16 or 32 bit working space, and, how does this bit depth interact with the maximum bit depth, maximum render quality in PPro?

Hi jbach2,
I understand your confusion. I'm like that most of the time I'm working. *chuckle* The two settings you mentioned are two completely different parameters affecting (or is it effecting) your video. You do not need to enable them within the sequence itself unless you want to preview video on you program monitor at the highest quality. I personally don't recommend it, as it's a tremendous resource hog, (the program even warns you when you try to click them) and unessecary for improving final output. Again, do not enable these options in your sequence settings if you are only wanting a high quality export. Doing so will greatly reduce your editing performance unless you have a high-end system. ...and even then I don't think its worth it unless you're editing on a huge screen with a Director who wants to see everything at a maximum quality during the edit process.
Keeping it simple...
Resizing your final output video? Use Maximum bit depth.
Starting or working with high bitdepth sources? Use Max Bit Depth.
When/where do I enable these? In the AME only. ^_^
Why?:
Enabling the Max bit and Max render only needs to be done when you are exporting. They both serve different functions.
Max Render aids in the scaling/conversion process only. My understanding is that you never need to enable the Max Render Quality (MRQ) unless you are exporting in a format/pixel ratio different from your original video. For example, when rendering a 1080p timeline out to a 480p file format, you'll want to use MRQ to ensure the best scaling with the least amount of artifacts and aliasing. If you're exporting at the same size you're working with, DON'T enable MRQ. It will just cost you time and CPU. Its only function is to do a high quality resizing of your work.
Maximum bit depth increases the color depth that your video is working with and rendering to. If you're working with video that has low color depth, then I don't believe it will matter. However, if you're working with 32 bit color on your timeline in PPro and/or After Effects, using lots of graphics, high contrast values, or color gradients, you may want to enable this option. It ultimately depends on the color depth of your source material.
The same applies to After Effects.
Create something in AE like a nice color gradient. Now switch the same project between 8,16,32 bit depth, and you will see a noticable difference in how the bit depth effects your colors and the smoothness of the gradient.
Bit depth effects how different plugins/effects change your overall image. Higher depth means more colors to work with (and incidentally, more cpu you need)
Just remember that "DEPTH" determines how many colors you can "fill your bucket with" and "QUALITY" is just that, the quality of your "resize".
http://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2010/06/understanding_color_processing.html
Check out this adobe blog for more info on color depth ^_^ Hope that helps!
----a lil excerpt from the blog i linked to above---
Now, 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit color are the industry standards for recording color in a device. The vast majority of cameras use 8-bits for color. If your camera doesn’t mention the color bit depth, it’s using 8-bits per channel. Higher-end cameras use 10-bit, and they make a big deal about using “10-bit precision” in their literature. Only a select few cameras use 12-bits, like the digital cinema camera, the RED ONE.
Software like After Effects and Premiere Pro processes color images using color precision of 8-bits, 16-bits, and a special color bit depth called 32-bit floating point. You’ve probably seen these color modes in After Effects, and you’ve seen the new “32″ icons on some of the effects in Premiere Pro CS5.

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.

Each clip is precomposed when dynamic linking a timeline from Premier

When I'm sending a timeline from Premier Pro CC to After Effects CC all of my video clips are being pre composed individually in the after effects composition.
The last project I worked on had the same workflow except when they came into after effects the videos were not pre composed.
From the PP timeline, I'm selecting all the timeline media and choosing 'replace with AFX comp!
Is there a way to choose to precomp everything or not from a Premier timeline? I don't want each media to be precomposed!

Thanks Todd,
I can see that's the case as I went from a 1080 timeline down to 720P and used 'Scale to Comp'
Causes havic in AFX if you have used different sections of the same clip in your edit.
So I guess the work around would be to manuelly scale everything in the clip settings.

How can I get Premiere cs 5.5 to open AE 6 when dynamic linking instead of 5.5

Just wondering, or do i have to buy Premiere 6 for it to open AE6?

do i have to buy Premiere 6 for it to open AE6?
Yes, you do, or more to the point yopu will need to buy a whole suite. DL only works within the same version and only inside Production Premium and Master Collection.

Adobe Dynamic Link will not work - Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4

Hello,
I am edited a video with a deadline, I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects and making edits in After Effects. I'm able to import the Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects using Dynamic Link, but I go back to Premiere Pro and nothing has changed. Then I have to export the 21 minute long video in After Effects and that takes about 12 hours, that I can't afford. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, before I imported the timeline into AE, while I was in Premiere Pro I right clicked it and selected -Edit original. It took me to the .mov that I imported- since it's a redo. I learned how to use Dynamic Link from this tutorial-
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-cs4-production-premium/using-dynamic-link/
At first when Dynamic link didn't work I thought it was because I was cutting the imported Sequence from Premiere Pro in After Effects becasue I was motion tracking. When you import a Premier Pro sequence can you cut it into individual layers in After Effects?

I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects
That doesn't create the type of Link you want here. In this case, changes made to PP would show up in AE. You want the reverse. (And you can only go one way, not both.)

Some scenes displaced when dyn. linked from Premiere CS4

Hi -
I've encountered an odd problem, and I was windering if anyone else has seen it. My system:
Win 7 64
Prod Premium CS4
When dynamic linking a sequence from Pr to Encore, the rendered sequence has a few seconds where the image is moved about 1/3 of the frame to the right and down. 5a few seconds out of a 60 minute project) I only see it in the Encore monitor window and on a burned DVD. The sequence in Pr looks fine, and it also renders out fine from Premiere. It's only when dynamically linked that this happens.
It has happened on two different projects, each time for about 5 to 10 seconds. The only way to solve the problem was to render out the problem bit from Premiere, then drop the new footage in the same position in the sequence. Encore is clealy not reading something correctly. The problem areas don't correspond to clips in the sequence, though, they go across clips.
What is odd is that one project was Cineform 1920x1080 25p, and the other project was HDV 50i. The Encore project is PAL DVD in both cases.
I have tried to see what the two problem bits did have in common, and it is these things:
They are both nested sequences, nested more than once.
Both had the fast blur effect applied at a transition (but the problem remained when it was deactivated)
Magic Bullet Looks was applied.
Please note that in the projects these same conditions didn't cause any problem at all 99% of the time. Has anybody else seen this before?

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

You need to do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder before installing a newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How to keep files from disappearing when using Dynamic link to AE from PremProCS4?

I am at my wits end here and hope someone can offer a solution. I use Dynamic Link in PremProCS4 to link a clip in my timeline to AfterEffects. I follow the instructions in my book and everytime I close my files and reopen..I loose the clip along with the effects...I get the place card instead. Here are the steps I do as per the Adobe Classroom in a Book Explains:
I double click on my .MTS file in the Project Board so it comes up on my Source Screen.
I take select the part of the clip I wish to use in my timeline and drag it to the appropriate spot on a video layer.
I then right click the "clip" and select "Replace With After Effects Comp"
I then name the new file. name or whatever.aep
It opens in AE
I then apply two simple effects... keying and a cartooning effect I use from NewBlue Cartooner.
As instructed I then go directly back to PremPro and do a "render" by pressing the Enter Key. This does not work since I only get a yellow bar above the clip instead of a red on???
So then I save the PremPro project and close it then go to the AE project, save and close it.
When I reopen PremPro the file has a place card in it and in AE it says I am missing a file.
I have tried many different ways to do this process including re-importing the .MTS file.
I can close PremPro and reopen it and all is the same as long as I don't close the AfterEffects project. Once AE is closed it looses the file. On a note here I keep all my computer source files in the same place and it never changes plus they are in my PPro Project as well. I never change the names so this isn't this reason.
Is there a tried and true method to select a piece of clip in the video layer in Prem Pro and add effects from AE and not have it misplace the files?
Thanks Kate

Hi Mylenium, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
Your idea of renaming comps got me to thinking..hmm.
So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
So far I figured it out...
Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
Rename it and save
R click and "Replace with AE composition"
Name new file
You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
Now you can save and close the AE project.
So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
Thanks.

Its odd how I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time and I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference..darn.

What do I do when I try to open Fifrefox 4 & get the message: The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll?

2 days ago, I got a message about upgrading to Firefox 4.0. I didn't do it immediately, due to lack of time. Later that day, I tried to open Firfox & got the message: Firefox can't start because xul.dll is missing. Reinstall the program to fix this. I tried several times to open Firefox & got the same result. I tried rebooting. Same result. So I opened Internet Explorer & went to the Firefox website & followed the instructions to download Firefox 4. After that, I used it last night & left my laptop hibernating last night, then continued to use it this morning. Then I closed Firefox. When I next tried to reopen Firefox, I got the new message: The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll. Again, I can only access the internet with Internet Explorer. Also, I have a done a good many Windows updates over the last 2 days as well. What can I do to get Firefox to open? Thank you for your help.

This is what I did to resolve this problem. First, I uninstalled Firefox 4 & removed the Firefox folder left behind. I made sure to NOT select the option to delete personal information. Next, I backed up all of the important files on my computer. Next, I upgraded my Windows 7 to Service Pack 1, which was pending in my updates folder. Then, I went to Mozilla's website & downloaded Firefox 4 again, making sure to select only the Firefox browser and not Thunderbird too. http://www.mozilla.org/ When prompted to close any open programs, I closed Internet Explorer (which I had used to get to the Mozilla website) and I disabled my Norton anti-virus. I then completed the installation & it works just fine now. It loaded all of my personal data, such as bookmarks, it remembered my password, etc. It's fine for my needs, as I'm not a heavy user of special add-ons & plug-ins. Some of those may not work yet with the new version.

After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!

If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck
