Hi!

I have a Premiere Pro timeline with many linkes After Effects compositions (about 8 comps).

Whenever I'm working in After Effects to change something and I save the project, ALL linked compositions in Premiere Pro go Offline. I need to relink them, and I can relink them no problem, becasue the project hasn't gone anywhere and hasn't changed name, but I lose my render files in Premiere and constantly relinking is being a total drag for my workflow.

Does anyone know if there's a fix for that?

Same here, support have been absolutely useless. No fixes anywhere. They keep blaming the system but they can't explain what about the system is wrong. Adobe fix this!!!!

Same issue on top of Premiere hanging when importing AE project. Comp imports when dragged directly from AE, but any save in AE causes the clip to offline.

Any word on this? This has been plaguing me as well now since the latest few updates. Anytime I save a dynamically linked AE project, it offlines in Premiere. The fastest solve then seems to be closing the Premiere project, and reopening it. We really need a fix for this!

Same issue on Mac and Windows system I'm using. AE Links fall offline in Premiere as soon as you save the AE project.

I have been experiencing the same issue intermittently. It seems to happen more often on projects that I have reopened and had to update because Premiere received an update at some point. The only way I've been able to resolve it is to click and drag the comp from After Effects into Premiere, and then "Replace With Clip From Bin" and delete the old dynamically linked comp. It's really inconvenient and I hope there's a better solution around it. Rendering and Replacing is a fine solution but not always the best with time sensitive deliverables.

You might want to try this:

After your AE comp is set the way that you like in Premiere's timeline select the AE comp and go to the top of the interface and go to clip/render and replace/choose a format. This will change the AE comp to a video which will be more stable. The video is saved by where your project is saved. If after that you need to make changes in AE you can highlight the video in Premiere's timeline and go to clip/restore unrendered. Highlight the comp in your project panel/right click/edit original.

Dynamic link is extremely powerful!

I hope that this helps
