After Effects Dynamic Link Breaks

Since the 2021 update, every time I go to After Effects and back to Premiere, every single dynamic link for every composition pertaining to my project breaks. This isn't just exiting and restarting the program (which should no doubt be fine anyways) but by simply hitting save on After effects and switching the window back to premiere.

This bug is absurd as the compositions need to be re-linked every time and is massively infuriating.

This has been happening on and off since about 2020. It will happen for several months, then will phase out (I think as I move on to new projects). I've never been able to figure out what causes it. It's happened across multiple computers. All MacBook Pros.

Dynamic Linking has become so buggy since AE and Premiere 22 that I've had to change my entire workflow because of it. I have too many dynamic link issues to name.

Needs this fixed too. I have Premiere Pro 2022 with AE 2022 comps linked inside and everytime I hit save in AE, the link inside Premiere breaks and I have to re-link to see my change. It was working well few months ago I recall with the same project files.

Dynamic Link (just a simple text animation with motion blur) is constantly crashing my premiere pro project. Constantly. Freezing, losing connection, crashing.
And once again something adobe declares as THE big feature for premiere and after effects - completely unusable to a degree that I can't work on my job without troubleshooting.
No AAF support under M1, Dynamic Link still crashing in 2022, custom workspaces that cause major crashes - are you kidding me?

Adobe please stop updating your faulty software with unrequested features and start fixing the tools we, as customers and professionals, rely on day by day.

This still an issue, every change in AE need to be saved, then in PP i need to relink the offline media to see any changes. ON Mac Studio with latest PP and AE. I've tried adding AE MC and PP tofull disk access and that hasn't worked.

Kiryn, the Adobe ecosystem behaves strangely. For example, the dynamic link between Pr and Photoshop does not work in full for me. I can send a picture from Pr, work in Photoshop, and changes do not occur in real time.
My advice to you is to send a copy of your frame from Pr to AE, work with it, and then output it through AE. And already ready to throw the media into your project in Pr. This is as a workaround, as long as the problem with the dynamic link persists. Try

Baffy19, I've changed my security system settings to allow AE and PR Pro full disk access, still happens.

Still getting this in 2022, I'm pretty tired of these f***ing programs never working properly.

I've changed my security system settings to allow AE and PR Pro full disk access, still happens.
