Speedgrade erratic cursor bug using dynamic link from PP

I'm on the latest version of CC (2014) running two subscriptions (one for work and one for freelance projects) both have developed an erratic cursor fault. Both are running Windows 7 (64 Bit) with pretty powerful machines. My process to get the fault is as follows:
Working on a PP timeline - use direct link to speedgrade - work up some clips using the sliders and colour wheels - about 5-10 mins into using speedgrade my cursor begins to act erratically. The cursor will jump off a colour wheel / slider and change values at will. I have to shut down and restart to get the software back again. As this is happening across two machines, completely separate to each other I'm a bit worried this isn't just a one off.  
I have reported this to Adobe via the bug page but has anyone else had this issue?   
Cheers,

Ok, I got one transcode to finally work.  But when I check the project now it says
"Trims and/or chapters adjusted".  What do I need to change to get rid of that error?
Also, if I close out of encore and open it up later, will I have to re-transcode
The file that just transcoded? Or only if I make a change?
That's not an error; it's just an advisory that the length of your video and/or audio streams has been trimmed, or the location of your chapter points have been adjusted.  If the transcoded version behaves like you want on a burned disc, then you can safely ignore the message.
The transcode is safe until you make a change, or do something else major like moving folders and assets around.

  • Encore keeps freezing when I use dynamic link from premiere.  Any thoughts?

    I just got done editing my sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.  I've added my chapter markers and sent to Encore via Dynamic Link.  Once I choose my project name and location it begins the import.  At 50% it freezes.  I've tried it on multiple machines and hard drives.  I've done this a million times before and have now just run into issues.  Any thoughts?
    I'm working on a 2010 Mac Pro and a 2013 Macbook Pro (non retina)

    You'll have a much better chance asking your question in the Encore forum. There are not many Encore users who  venture here. This forum is for general Creative Suite questions.

  • Encore CS6 Dynamic Link from Pr CS6 Problem/Issue

    I switched from Production Premium CS5 to CS6.  I first deactivated and uninstalled my CS5 then installed CS6 on my Windows 7 machine.
    The problem:
    When I edit together a video in Premiere CS6 and have finished, I use Dynamic Link from within Encore CS6 to bring in that timeline.  After that, I use AME to transcode that Dynamic Link asset to the DVD MPEG standard, Encore CS6 keeps poping up a  notification window that says:  "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server.  Would you like to reimport it?  Yes/No" It prompts me each time I enter Encore and any time I move from another open program back to Encore.
    And I have to click No for each timeline that I have used Dynamic Link for (which is usually 5 or so).
    Any ideas or help?  This is incredibly annoying.
    Thank you.
    Jared

    As an update.  I am using the newest version of PluralEyes (v 2.0.5  7358) to sync the audio of the multiple camera event films I have shot.  I have since created a new project in Premiere and only manually lined up clips and then Dynamically Linked that to a new Encore project and so far Encore has not promtpted me with the error/message:  "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server.  Would you like to reimport it?  Yes/No"
    Any ideas?  This is very frustrating.  Thank you!

  • Encore constantly crashes using dynamic link....

    Not sure what's going on here, but I just wanted to see if anyone knew what was going on. For some reason when I use dynamic link from Adobe Premiere to Encore it constantly crashes immediately.
    The project is just over an hour long with loads of edits. 
    Thanks

    DStrange,
    Thanks for reporting that. It can solve some "DL crashes Encore" problems.
    Rookie, a first step (which you may have done) is to see if Encore can be opened on its own, do basic functions (e.g. add a menu from the library etc). If yes, then look at whether it is only the one Premiere sequence, etc.
    And, yes, try DStrange's solution. You don't have to add chapters to see if works. Chapters are one of the thinks that can cause issues, so a no-chapter version is a good troubleshooting step.

  • 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.

    Hi Curt, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
    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.

    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... I guess I just needed to ask the question and write it all out to help get my brain working in the right direction:

  • Adjustment layer blur from AE to PP using dynamic link

    Hi there. I'm having trouble with a project I bring into PP from AE via dynamic link.
    Here's the problem. On my AE project, I have an adjustment layer with lens blur added to it. I also have a track matte assigned to that adjustment layer, because I have a specific shape in which I want the blur to be applied. Works fine in AE.
    However, when I bring the project into PP, the adjustment layer's blur is not applied to anything in PP. It does show up as a blur on animations I created in AE, but is not applied to any footage dropped under it in PP.
    Is this normal, or is there a workaround? At this point there it seems there is no benefit in using dynamic link over exporting the project as a clip with an alpha channel.
    If it helps to understand, the project is a lower third animation. The goal is to not only have it a little transparent but also slightly blur whatever footage is behind it, only in the area of the lower third.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    The export settings in PrPro should be ok, since they are the same ones I use for every other project. I did notice that the Max Render Quality checkbox was unchecked though. I just don't know why with the preview settings at max it still looks blurry. I have noticed that if I close down the project and reopen it, the problem might go away.
    I have tried exporting in AME, but sometimes the encoder just freezes up and won't render it. Again, another random issue. Not sure why that happens. (Though I recently learned about how to clean the cache and haven't tried exporting the project since then.
    I don't know if this will help or not, but what I do is align the footage up in PrPro and then use AE to import the footage. After getting everything the way it should, I use Dynamic Link in PrPro and pull in the AE file.
    I would assemble everything in AE, but the source material is P2 footage and AE doesn't have a viewer to differenate between all the clips.
    And to make sure for all clarity purposes, I can not reppplicate this problem. It seems to come and go as it wants, almost as if my machine is haunted.

  • Dynamic Link from Pr to En

    I have Master Collection CS5 on Windows 7 x64.  I made a Premier Pro project and have been trying to send the sequence to Encore via Dynamic Link.  At first it looks like it will work--after clicking on the menu item "Send to Encore", Encore starts up and I can enter a new project name in, as expected.  I keep all the settings as default, other than the name of the project and where to put it.  As soon as I click OK, Encore creates the project file, but then that's where it stops.  My mouse becomes a waiting cursor as long as I am mousing over the Encore window and if I try and click in the window, it greys out and the title bar says (Not Responding).  I've let it sit like this for about 30 min to see if it would eventually do what it needs to do, but to no avail.
    Very similarly, if I start in Encore and open a project and go to Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import Premeir Pro Sequence, the program goes unresponsive in the same way (this time with no further input).
    I have updated QuickTime, turned off all Anti-virus software and disabled my firewall.  In Task Manager, I can see that "Adobe QT32 Server.exe *32" is running, as is "dynamiclinkmanager.exe*32" and "CS5ServiceManager.exe *32" (and of course Adobe Premier Pro.exe).  I've run WireShark to try and determine what ports are being used, but pretty much all the traffic I see (when I stop all my other networking services) is going to 192.150.16.80, which is an Adobe Server, according to my reverse DNS lookup... I don't know if that's an update check or a license check or what...
    Are there any Windows Services that I need to make sure are not disabled?  That's about the last idea I have right now...
    Thanks in advance

    Perhaps I misunderstand the point of Dynamic Link, but isn't it supposed to be that none of the rendering gets done until it is needed (in this case, in Encore)?
    The transcoding doesn't get done until you tell it, but some situations require some processnig. (I don't think that is your issue.)
    I doubt it has anything to do with the premier sequence itself because I get the same behavior when initiating Dynamic Link FROM Encore--in this case I never get a chance to select what Premier sequence I want to import because the program goes unresponsive as soon as I hit the "Import Premier Pro Sequence" menu choice.
    Yes, that points to Encore. I assume that none of Premiere (the headless instance that runs for DL for example) is starteds at that point.
    Also, I did transcode into MPEG2-DVD from Premier and then imported that into Encore, and that works,
    So Encore is not totally messed in your install...
    but I'd like to get Dynamic Link working, all the same...
    Absolutely!
    This does not sound like an error we've seen here before.
    Try opening Encore using the "run as administrator" tactic, and try the DL from Encore.
    MPEG files can create a variety of issues, as often from the audio as the video. But the hang from Encore's end for DL argues against that. But I don't see any further option other than repair/reinstall.

  • Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow.

    Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow. About 10 minutes or so. I usually measure the time by hands of Solitaire, min 3 wins.  I've trashed prefs, OS and apps all updated, run system maintenance. I'm at a loss. This workflow isn't working for me. Please give me some troubleshooting ideas.

    yeah thats basically it, you could leave premiere open but save and close the project before opening it up in speedgrade. if you are going to be in speedgrade a while, its best to just close premiere so it doesn't tie up any system resources sitting in the background. the dynamic link buttons/commands in premiere and speedgrade just save, close, and open in other program. so once you do your work in speedgrade save the project, close, then open it back in premiere and it should all be there.

  • CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time.  Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working.  I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's.  Is there

    CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time.  Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working.  I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's.  Is there a way around this?  Is there a patch to correct it?

    To build CD's???
    What problem does Encore have with DL?
    If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

  • Used Dynamic Link to import a sequence, Can't do anything with it

    I have used Dynamic Link in Encore CS5 to bring in a sequence from Premiere Pro CS5.  The sequence shows up in the Encore "project" panel.  When I try to bring the sequence into a timeline Encore does not let me.  I drag it to the timeline and I see a + sign in the timeline.  When I let go nothing appears in the timeline.  What am I doing wrong?

    Figured out what I was doing wrong.
    Thanks,

  • Trouble using Dynamic Link

    I've imported a Premiere Pro CS5 project into AE using Dynamic Link, added titles, effects, etc., then re-imported the AE project back into Premiere so that I can do a sound edit in Sound Booth. But Premiere won't let me place the AE project onto the timeline. Also, when I try to play the video in the Source window it's jerky. Please help.

    Okay.
    I first built my project in Premier Pro (PP) this way:
    I opened a new project using HDV capture format. I select AVCHD>1080i>AVCHD1080i (60i) from the Sequence Presets dialog box. Under the General Tab the settings are: square pixel, 29.97 fps, with a Display Format of 30 fps drop frame time code. I use the default audio settings all the way thru my process. I then aquire footage from my Sony NX Cam (HXRNX5U) and Canon T2i cameras. Just to be sure I've got the correct settings, I drag one of the Sony Cam files and let it hover over the New Item button in the Project panel. This creates a new sequence called, in this case, Rick 001.MTS that I use to build my project. I delete the first (default) sequence, and save my PP project. I edit my footage and when it's ready for AE, I save it, close the project, and close PP.
    I then opened AE and chose New Composition. I chose HDV/HDTV 720, 29.97 fps, square pixels, which became Composition 1.
    Next I clicked on DL > Import PP Sequence. In the Import PP Sequence dialog box I located my project and clicked on it. In the Sequence panel on the right, I chose the file that appeared there, Rick001.MTS and then clicked Okay.
    My Rick001.MTS sequence appeared in the Project Panel. Because the Rick001.MTS sequence showed a frame rate of 59.94 fps in the Project Panel, I dragged the file to the New Composition button at the bottom of the Project panel and let it hover for a moment. A new composition called Rick001.MTS then appeared in the Project panel and on the timeline. I deleted the first composition (Composition 1), saved my AE project, and began to edit my Rick001.MTS sequence.
    When I was done, I resaved my AE project and closed AE.
    I next opened PP again and opened a new project and chose AVCHD>1080i>AVCHD1080i (60i).
    I clicked on File>Adobe DL>Import AE composition. In the Import AE Composition dialog box Project panel I selected my AE project. Then I selected the AE file in the Composition panel of the dialog box.
    The composition does appear in the Project panel, but I'm unable to add the composition to the timeline. If I try to drag it to the timeline I get the circle with the slash thru it. If I double click the composition it opens in the Source panel, but it plays all jerky and nothing happens when I click on the insert or overlay button.
    Whew. That was a lot of describing. I hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Melanie.

  • Please help, I cannot get play menu to work after using dynamic link.

    Ok. So I sent a video from premiere pro to encore using dynamic link. Then I created a menu in encore and dragged video to play button I created for the dvd. However, when I burn the dvd, the menu is not a part of the DVD. I do not know why this happens when I use a dynamic linked video. It does not happen when I use other videos. Please help. Thanks Matt

    You need to set the menu to be first play.
    If you create a timeline before you add a menu, the timeline becomes first play. If you set the end action of the timeline to the menu, it will eventually get there, but that does not appear to be what you want.

  • Dynamic Link from Premiere freezes at 50%

    I have never used the dynamic link from Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 so I don't know if this feature has ever worked. I tried to send just a 25 minute unedited timeline to Encore to see if it worked.  Encore goes through it's features but freeze at 50% at transporting timeline.  Any ideas?

    I may have answered my own question. I finually did get it to work, maybe by chance.  I msconfig and cleaned out my start up menue and that seems to have cured it.

  • When I use dynamic link how do I continue using it after closing and reopening a project?

    Hi
    Im very new to AF
    I cant seem to find the answer to this in any tutorials.
    When I using dynamic link, how do I continue using it after closing and reopening a perm pro project?
    Thanks

    Hi Kevin
    Thank you very much for such a quick reply.
    I actually figured it out. As usual it was fairly obvious solution.
    I opened both project at the same time.
    Thanks again and sorry for waisting your time.
