Edit Original Function has either changed or is broken
Edit Original function has changed or is broken. the edit original function is a tool that I use more than any other tool in Premiere. I am an editor who works with peripheral applications such as After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. When I Edit Original on a rendered clip from an After Effects program, as long as the clip name is the same as the composition it was rendered from, Premiere will open that exact After Effects composition. That has all changed to where now, it can only be a dynamically linked comp in Premiere in order to perform this function correctly. Now, (since updating) If I Edit Original on a rendered clip, Premiere will open Quicktime. This, as you may be aware, is extremely counter-intuative. Because I work with several editors and assistant editors on my projects, I cannot use linked comps. They absolutely must be rendered out before putting them in Premiere because of the compatibility problems associated with dynamic linking. I can't assume that all the editors and assistant editors are up to date and/or using the same versions, nor can I assume they have all of my assets.
If this is in fact a bug, then I am bringing it to your attention. if this is a feature that you have silently deprecated, pleeeeeease fix this. The idea that not enough people use this feature to justify keeping it with the latest version of CC baffles my mind. I am extremely skeptical that it would be the case. Please fix.
