Multiframe Rendering in AE screws up Dynamic Links in Premiere

I detailed my issues in a forum post here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/disabling-multiframe-rendering-in-after-effects-solved-nearly-all-of-my-dynamic-linking-issues/m-p/13261347#M213005

 

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

CPU - intel i9 9900K (3.6GHz)

GPU - RTX 2080 Black Edition (8GB VRAM, GDDR6)

RAM - 64GB @3200Mhz

 

After Effects 22.0 through current (22.6)

Premiere Pro 22.0 through current (22.6.2)

 

I did not realize until recently disabling After Effects' Multiframe Rendering feature that it was the source of all my problems. Here is a list of the issues I have been experiencing relative to my workflow since upgrading to AE & Premiere 2022:

  • When AE & PP are open simultaneously, saving AE breaks every Dynamic Link in PP and they need to be re-linked manually.
  • When AE & PP are open simultaneously, closing AE breaks every Dynamic Link in PP and they need to be re-linked manually.
  • When AE & PP are open simultaneously, AE is unable to complete rendering compositions in the composition window or the Render Queue, eventually freezing and requiring a hard reset.
  • PP is unable to render or export timelines with Dynamic Links whether or not AE is open simultaneously, eventually freezing and requiring a hard reset.
  • Media Encoder is unable to render timelines sent from PP that have Dynamic Links in them, eventually freezing and requiring a hard reset.
  • AE & PP being open simultaneously will eventually cause the computer to lock up

 

To be clear

A) None of the above issues were present until upgrading to AE & PP 2022

B) All of the above issues went away after disabling multiframe rendering* in AE

 

(*Changing the "% CPU reserved for other applications" value had no effect on the issues described above)

I forgot to add one more issue to the list:

  • Whenever I would close any PP project that contained a Dynamic link, whether or not After Effects was open, it would generate an After Effects error message pop up. (And every single time, I would "Send Report.")
