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,

Using Dynamic Link to Encore -- Can't do it in PP CC?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Surely I have it wrong. Premiere Pro was upgraded to CC two years ago, but I cannot use the Dynamic Link to create DVDs. I can use my Premiere Pro CS6 to use the dynamic link to get my sequences in Encore CS6, but because there is no upgrade to CC for Encore, I can't use the dynamic link (with PP CC).
Are you freaking kidding me? What's the point of coming up with this amazing Dynamic Link if you can't use it anymore? Somebody is really nuts here in the development of PP CC and lack of development for Encore.
Am I missing something? Should I be building my DVDs in a new CC program that I'm not aware of?

>lack of development for Encore
Adobe was FORCED to stop development, see #8 here for why http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1337952?tstart=0

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.

Dynamic Link Stops Importing

Windows/PC - Encore CS6 - Premiere Pro CC - Creative Cloud Subscriber
I'm trying to use Encore to create an ISO image. I've created the sequence in Premiere Pro, spec'ing In/Out and Chapter Marks.
Using Adobe Dynamic Link to import sequence to Encore, but about a third of a way into the import, the status bar stops, and the software does nothing. It does not appear to be locked up, just stuck. Any thoughts as to how I can get Encore to finish importing?

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.
In the AE forum they say this is quite common and no one really knows why...double 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.

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.

Warp Stabilizer error when using dynamic link

Hey guys,
So I'm very new to video editing, and not surprisingly, I'm running into problems. I'm trying to use dynamic link to allow me to Warp Stabilize and color correct video clips in a Premiere Pro project. When I try to apply the Warp Stabilizer (through dynamic link) in After Effects, I get this error message:
After Effects error: Stabilization analysis doesn't work with Collapse Transformations (514)
(25 :: 101)
I read the only other thread on this which linked to the following page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS064964FC-424C-4e5a-A5C3-2160B3DFBCA4a.html
Unfortunately, that didn't help me much. Maybe the answer is in there somewhere, but if so, its way over my head. Can anyone give me a simple explanation of why this doesn't work? I feel like it should be a simple solution so I don't have to go through the process of importing into AE, render, export, import to Premeire Pro, and replace the clip there, blah blah. This is what dynamic link is for, right?? Thanks for any advice you guys have!

Not sure I properly understand you...
As for me, the solution is in AE warning message - just disable Collapse Transformations switch in your AE precomp...

Expdp / impdp - Private synonyms using DB link not imported

Hi
I'd appreciate any help with this.
We are taking an export (expdp) of a database on Oracle EE 10.2.0.3 in Prod and then importing it into an identical DB on 10.2.0.5 in Dev.
I doubt the minor version difference is an issues, but I mention it for completeness.
Our expdp in prod used to look like this:
expdp agdba/x directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=X.DMP logfile=X.LOG schemas=A,B,C,D
We have changed it to:
expdp agdba/x directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=X.DMP logfile=X.LOG full=y EXCLUDE=SCHEMA:"IN ('E', 'F')"
( so basically do a full export, but exclude schemas E & F )
The impdp in dev has not changed (we import one schema at a time):
impdp agdba/x DUMPFILE=X.DMP LOGFILE=imp_X.LOG SCHEMAS=A DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=SKIP
DB user AGDBA has been granted the DBA role...
The Issue:_
Private synonyms that use a DB link are NOT imported, but private synonyms that do NOT use a DB link ARE imported.
I can fix the issue by simply recreating the private synonyms using the DB link - e.g.:
CREATE SYNONYM EVENTLOGTBL FOR EVENTLOGTBL@FCISTOSMS;
Things were working fine until we change the expdp to use FULL. I see a few posts about synonyms and FULL=Y issues, but nothing quite like our problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andreas

Andreas Hess wrote:
So the problem is expdp FULL=Y for some reason does not export synonyms that refer to objects via DB links. I doubt that ... More than few times a week I refresh non-prod databases from a prod db, (it is schema level export not FULL=Y), and two of the schema own db links, and others have synonyms pointing to them. I have never encountered synonym problem (except that if db_links are invalid then impdp takes extremely long time to timeout while compiling pl/sql code.). We normally change db_links after the impdp is done, or (while it is importing table via another session).
I just re-ran sqlfile option with include=db_link,synonym option and i can see statements that create synonyms and create db links.
However i think the order in which impdp runs might be the source of your problem ... see this
Starting "ME"."SYS_SQL_FILE_SCHEMA_01": ME/******** dumpfile=xxxx.%u.dmp directory=xxxx_exp schemas=schema1,schema2,schema3 sqlfile=schema.sql include=db_link,synonym
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/SYNONYM/SYNONYM <<<< Synonyms are created first
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/DB_LINK <<<< db_links come later
Job "ME"."SYS_SQL_FILE_SCHEMA_01" successfully completed at 08:32:02So, it is conceivable that if you drop synonyms/db_links from your schemas before impdp, some synonyms will fail to create properly. This could be a version specific issue, mine is 11.2 and I don't see failures for synonym creation, i.e. no error messages while impdp. Next time you could try to drop objects except db_links and see if you still have the same issue.

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.

Encore CS4 freezes when using dynamic link and blu-ray settings

I am using dynamic link to send a Premiere project to Encor using blu-ray for video and dolby digital for audio. The project gets loaded correctly. When I go to the build tab, I see the format is DVD. I can create a project using DVD as the format output to a DVD folder. When I select blu-ray as the format, Encore freezes. I want to save everything as blu-ray format so that if and when I get a blu-ray burner, I can just burn the folder layout to blu-ray disc. Is there a fix for this so that I can select blu-ray as the format?

Worked for me!
Thanks for the updates.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

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.

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.
