Please fix Dynamic Linking to Premiere Pro and After Effects

Since I need to use many features in Premiere Pro and After Effects to finish a project with Ch, I am finding dynamic linking a good idea/concept to do professional work but it always ends up making things unworkable. Right now I have a project I spent 3 weeks on, and I can't even open it in Premiere Pro, all the Ch scenes are 'pending' and I have done everything recommended on the Internet but cannot open the project in either Premiere Pro or After Effects (all the apps are updated). If Adobe cannot fix dynamic linking then please consider adding more features to Ch like simple editing functions (like cutting/razor blade, trimming, etc.), so I do not need to add a new instance of a character everytime it interacts with another character in the same scene. Also pls add ways to move the puppets in the scene with the cursor instead of fiddling with the position numbers. Also, pls add simple effects like blurring and color controls if dynamic linking cannot be made more stable.

Or Please make dynamic link work. This is the main feature Adobe uses to link all the apps together and it is still not stable or usable in a professional setting after being introduced a decade ago. If it cannot be fixed, then these apps should be more considered standalone apps and made accordingly.

Sorry if I sound upset, but please consider my recommendations.

While basic linking works fine here larger projects are impossible. Each time a Premiere project is opened, it checks and launches headless CA instances for every fricking link. Not when needed, but just in general … on open. Every time. Which would be fine … but after 60 headless instances the remaining links just get disconnected and can't be connected again … because … too many instances at once?

Highly frustrating. Makes larger projects impossible.
