Hello, back again. With the same project that originally inspired me to write. My customer wants multiple language versions of several different videos, each with several text elements and other content that would greatly benefit from dynamic linking that worked - altogether dozens of dynamically linked AE compositions on several PPro timelines. Since my original post, new versions of AE and PPro have emerged. Also, an update to OS X has been rolled out. I updated everything. Now...I open the project from some time ago, and: - some dynamically linked AE content is gibberish (letters are missing, some are of some exotic language I don't recognize) - some dynamically linked AE content is 1) not visible in the PPro preview (the clip can still be seen on the timeline) and 2) when clicking "edit original", opens the wrong composition - no changes in AE comps are reflected in PPro (as was the case before) - some compositions open with no content (nothing in the AE preview window, while items are on AE timeline) ...or to summarize: the project is a useless, total and complete mess. I sold the language versions to my client a while ago and now it's time for me to deliver, as I've received translations. Except my project doesn't work any more. Why am I writing this here? Because: for people following this thread, do not under any circumstances rely on dynamically linking anything for any professional work. You might get what you're supposed to, or not. You might render what you see, or not. In short: dynamic link is not suitable for professional work. Please don't tell me that "many people have no issues". I have issues. Many people I know have issues with dynamic link. Some may not have issues, but many do. It doesn't work the way it's supposed to.
