Hi all....so I have a bunch of Dynamic Link after effects comps that are pretty big and complex in my Premiere 2022 sequence.  They won't play back even a 1/8 quailty in Premiere... so I render out the Premiere sequence.  Then, back in After Effects I Purge my RAM and then the Prmeiere Dynamic Link comps on the timeline go unrendered.  So, the way this is designed is to gobble up all your RAM by cacheing these Dynamic Link comps?  How is that a benifit?  Why aren't these Dynamic Linked comps just being rendered as any other effect in Premeire so that you are utilizing your external harddrive rather than it hogging up the alloted space in After Effects for RAM previews, etc.  Is there a setting I'm missing?  

 

THANK YOU in advance

It isn't an effect, it is a full instance of AE. that's all there is to say. You can't expect it to work different from a standalone AE. If some things bother you, simply reign in AE's cache settings and memory usage, which is perfectly possible, given that the defaults always use way too excessive values, anyway. Otherwise follow what Rob already say - the old-fashioned approach of just replacing clips many times is more efficient.

You might want to select the comp in Premiere and go to the top of the interface-Clip/Render and Replace and render the comp to a video. Then you wouldn't have to worry about Premiere dealing with rendering an AE comp. You also select the comp and go to Clip/Restore Unrendered if you need to work on it again in AE.
