Unstable After Effects CC with dynamic link

Hi all,
I just bought a new iMac for editing etc. (Before the iMac I used my MacBook Pro). Everything works just fine but there is one issue with After Effects CC.
When I have Premiere Pro CC open in the background and there is a dynamic link sequence in AE. My iMac is taking a long time to load video previews when scrolling through the timeline. Also the RAM Preview will hang after a couple of seconds for 5-10 seconds and than continues. I also noticed that MB Looks will take a long time to load too.
So is there a conflict between the two applications or is it because of the sharing RAM or graphics card memory? What are the best settings for the Adobe applications for using RAM and graphics?
System specs:
iMac 3,5 GHz i7 (Late 2013)
32 GB RAM
256 GB flash storage
NVIDIA GTX 780M 4 GB
Kind regards,
Teun

With the new 12.2 update installed there is no difference. Still very slow playback from PP footage in AE. It takes a long time to load the preview when scrolling through the timeline in AE. I noticed that when I close PP the lag is gone, or when I switch from AE to PPro and back. But then after a few seconds the lag is back when PP is active in the background.
Any ideas?

  • Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only)

    i have adobe creative suite master collection cs5... i'm currently editing  my project in advertising in premiere pro and tried to replace my clip with an AE, then this window appeared saying "adobe dynamic link needs production premium." but your post says that it works on master collection too. can you tell me a fix that does not require uninstalling or deactivating coz i need to finish my project by tom and my time is running out thanks

    If you're under time constraints, just render the clip out of AE and import it into Premiere.  You can worry about getting Dynamic Link straightened out later.
    If you're unwilling to do a total uninstall, run the Adobe Cleaner application and then reinstall, you really have very little choice in the matter.  Get busy.

  • Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

    Hi all,
    I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
    Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
    I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
    I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
    Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
    This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
    I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
    I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
    Never had this problem in CS6.
    Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
    Here are my specs:
    I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
    Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
    Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
    Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
    16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
    Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
    In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

    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 cs5 Adobe After effects cs 5 Dynamic link issue

    Hi i have a project in premiere all on the time line cut into different snips of footage the videofiles are avi ... i want to take i snip of footage into after effects to make some edits and effects  on it i have tried the following
    1....opening a new comp in ae  ....right clicking the footage in premiere copying  then pasting it into ae nothing happens
    2.... i right click the footage in premiere and choose replace with after efects comp ...ae starts up fines asks me to give the comp a name ..then i get a new comp with the footage name in the project window with a lil what looks like a film icon next to it ...but the screen to the right is  black showing me no video ....what am i doing wrong any help would be great thanks

    Hab mir mal heute die ganze Master Collection runtergeladen.
    Alle Programme gehen, bloß die Beiden (Premiere und After Effects) gehen nicht, siehe oben....
    Was mich aber wundert, habe noch das alte Programm Premiere CS 3 gefunden, und mal installiert. Das geht ohne Probleme, mag sein das dies andere anforderungen hat, aber ein Q9550 sollte doch reichen.
    Befehlssätze und Features:
    Q9550: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
    I7 920: Hyper-Threading, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
    I7-2600k: Hyper-Threading, VT-x, AES-NI, Intel 64, Idle States, EIST, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Intel Fast Memory Access, Intel Flex Memory Access, XD bit
    Aber ob es wirklich daran liegen kann?
    Das neue System wird zwar eine I7-2600k als CPU haben, aber leider gibt es kaum eine CS4 Software von Adobe mehr.

  • Issue with Dynamic Link with Premiere CC and After Effects

    I'm having a strange and annoying issue with Dynamic linked clips in Premiere CC:
    When I render or export my timeline the progress will stall when it hits a dynamic linked clip.  It will stay stalled until I click the After Effects application and make it the active window.  Once that happens the render/export resumes at normal speed. 
    This is annoying as I can't start a render and walk away or work on different windows, I have to babysit all the renders to make sure they go through.
    Has anybody experienced this and know of any solutions? 
    I'm running the latest version of Premiere (7.2.1) and After Effects 12.2.0.52 on Mavericks 10.9.1 with a GTX 770 Video Card.

    Does it still pause if AE is closed completely? I often experience slower AME renders from Premiere over dynamic link material when AE is open. Closing AE speeds things up. Go figure.

  • After Effects won't close/Problems with dynamic links

    When I quit After Effects the icon still shows up and it says that it is still open, even force quit will not work. Also having problems with dynamically linked files between after effects and Premiere pro. Rendering in Premiere doesn't work unless I go to AE, save the project, then go back to Premiere. I have OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, a late 2012 mac pro, and AE CC 12.2.1.5

    Kevin: would appreciate further thoughts on this.
    I am using Pr2014, version 8.0.0 I am using AE2014, version 13.0.2.3. When I was on earlier versions of each, I had no problem importing AE comps into Pr. I'd choose import in Pr, then select the AE project, then select the comp. But with my new and improved versions of AE and Pr, I keep getting "importer reported a generic error."
    I also tried to go the other way. I selected in Pr the clips I wanted to work on in AE, and then tried "replace with AE comp" but got the "generic error" message again..
    Finally, I attempted to create a Dynamic Link from Pr via the File menu, but with each of the options from there, I got "failed to connect to AE Dynamic Link"
    Any advice you can share, would be most welcome.

  • Time Ramping with Dynamic Link

    I tried to dynamic link to after effects and make a time ramp in AE however the audio is still not ramping with the footage. Is this possible or do I have to export out of AE to do a Time Ramp (which would be pointless in regards to dynamic linking).
    Thank you,

    You have already been provided with step by step explanation:
    - when you replace a clip in PrPro timeline with dynamically linked AE composition, that dynamically linked composition appears as an asset in PrPro Project panel. If you have difficulties with understanding what Project panel is, start with Premiere Pro basics;
    - dynamically linked composition in the Project panel is an ordinary reusable asset like any other asset imported into the project, and it contains 2 channel stereo. If you drag this asset from the Project panel and drop it into the timeline, that 2 channel stereo, which represents the result of your manipulations with the audio inside dynamically linked composition in respective AE project, will also be brought into PrPro timeline.
    If you still do not understand all the above, provide step by step description of what you are doing exactly, because I can't read your mind and have no the slightest idea what can be unclear and therefore cause any issue with bringing audio from dynamically linked composition into PrPro timeline.

  • After Effects problem with clone stamp tool

    Hi,
    I've been using clone stamp tool in Photoshop for years and has no problem with it. But somehow I could never get it work on After Effects. After alt+click to select source I can then click (and hold left mouse button), rub and change the target area as expected but as soon as I let go the mouse button the target area reverts back to original.
    What did I do wrong?
    thanks.

    First question that I have for you is did you look in the help files?. Simply type clone stamp in the search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the application frame it you will find all kinds of information. There are a few good tutorials linked directly from the help file. After Effects Help | Paint tools: Brush, Clone Stamp, and Eraser
    Because After Effects works with video you have to make sure you have the correct options for your clone stamp or your paint tool selected and you are working in the correct window. It is not so much that the clone stamp is not working, it is just that you probably do not have it set up correctly.

  • Extremely slow PP Export with Dynamic Links

    I have very slow exports from Premiere Pro that are entirely made with Dynamic Links to AE (green screen footage).
    It's taking about 4+ hours to export a 12 minute video!
    I'm on an iMac late 2012
    3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
    24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB
    OS Yosemite
    Footage is on an external HD
    Project file is on main HD
    Writing exported file to external HD
    I've followed several troubleshooting tips including:
    Uninstall and re-install CC 2014
    Clean adobe media files
    Check permissions on all folders
    Switch Open CL to Software Only
    Unchecked "Display out of sync indicators for unlinked clips"
    Disabled "Show Duplicate Frame Markers"
    Disabled "Show FX Badges"
    I've also tried changing the location of where the final file is written to.
    I've also tried this on my MBP with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM and AMD 6750M
    Same results.
    Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious here?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5 Lagging Horribly with Dynamic Link

    I just bought a brand new computer. It is a beast
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Intel i7-980 6 cores with HT = 12 CPU cores
    Nvidia GTX 570HD 1280mb 328 bit
    120gb SSD sata 3
    600 gb Velociraptor drive 10000rpm
    8gb DDR3 1866MHZ ram
    So you would think I would get no lag. But for some reason, when I edit in premier pro or after effects, especially when I use dynamic link with premiere and after effects. It lags realllllly badly. I am talking about 5fps and I have to pause and wait like 20 secs then hit play again to get 5 secs of smoothness and then the laggyness returns. I am not even using heavy footage. It is footage off of a Canon 5D Mark II h.264. I tried messing around with all the settings but I cannot get anywhere. Anyone know what the problem might be? I don't have any other programs running since I just installed these. This lag is really holding me back and I cannot edit properly because of it.

    Your memory is ill configured, since you are using it in dual channel mode instead of triple channel mode and 8 MB is about bare minimum. You would be better off if you were to increase memory to 24 GB. Secondly, your disk configuration is the absolute minimum requirement, so adding a couple of disks will help performance as well.

    Mistake. It is one of the most demanding codecs on the market. Look here: Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
    You could try the PPBM5 Benchmark to see how well your setup performs.
