This one showed up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try putting your response inside the code snippet block (the </> formatting button above).  Maybe you have an illegal characgter or something in there that is forcing the post to fail.

Ben,

I have responded twice to answer all of your questions, but my responce never shows up in the forum...must be a bug here also.

Hi Nishu

It does not happen in 2024, but I think this is because, when Iedit original in premiere, and it opens the ae project in ae 2024, the ae dynamic link in premiere is still linked to the 2023 version

OK - I've been able to reproduce this once, and specifically using your folder structure, and specifically in your exact Premiere Pro and After Effects versions.

~/Desktop/SMT_planet fitness Teddy_050624
└── projects
    ├── ae
    │   └── web_4k.aep
    └── premiere
        └── edit_01.prproj

I'm going to keep looking into this and see if I can reproduce it again.  In the meantime...

• Does this happen when you are working somewhere other than your Desktop?
• How are you getting the comps from After Effects into Premiere Pro?  Are you creating them in After Effects and then importing them/dragging them into Premiere Pro?  Or are you creating them directly from Premiere Pro using Replace With After Effects Composition?
• Did you ever relink your Dynamic Link comp in Premiere Pro during your workflow?
• Did you ever move you source .aep After Effects file after it was created, into a different folder from where it started?

You're right.  Something is... weird.

Hi @mikec92163573,

Thanks for sharing the screen recording and all the details. We can see the issue and will file a bug if needed. Before that, it'll be helpful for us to know if it happens in the latest version as well. Can you test that if that's not too much trouble?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi @mikec92163573,

Not sure why this is being moved to After Effects.

Premiere Pro Engineering recommended the move to the AE Bug Reports forum. Either place is OK to troubleshoot an issue like this. I hope that is OK.

Thanks,
Kevin

After Effect 23.6.5 (Build 4)

Not sure why this is being moved to After Effects.  As I said before, the issue happens if I open the project through premiere by right-clicking on the dynamic link in the timeline and choosing edit original.  If I open the project from within after effects and do all the same things, when I save it, it does not get deleted.

And that double slash that Ben mentioned appears when I I open from premiere. When I open in ae, the double slash does not appear.

Apologies. Moving again, this time to the After Effects Bug Reports forum.

@mikec92163573 What version of After Effects are you using?

Hi @mikec92163573,

I'll move this post to Discussions so that others may find this solution.

Thanks,
Kevin
