Question

CC2022 Premiere & After Effects dynamic link not working

  • November 1, 2021

I had an automatic update on and updated Premiere and After effects on 22.0. Everything worked just fine, but after updating to macOS Monterey 12.0.1 suddenly the dynamic linking stopped working. I have searched through this community for answerss, but with no luck. 

 

I changed the name of the dynamic link -folder, resetted cache and preferences. Then finally removed ALL my CC apps and cleaned my computer with Creative Cloud cleaner, did completely new installation and still the problem exists. When opening Premiere the dynamic linking is not working, program crashed and forces me to force quit. And one thing is, I can't go back to old versions since I already had it working for some time and have new versions of the projects.

 

My workstation specs: iMac 4,2 GHz Quad Intel Core i7, 64Gt RAM, Radeon Pro 580, 8 Gt, 1 Tb HD

 

I'm working over a local server, since there is almost 11 terabytes of different clients material so I just can't do it locally on my computer. There's too much files and material to fit on my computer.

 

I'm getting desperate and deadlines are already turned sour. Cap, I need your help!

      Same problem on Macbook Pro (16-inch, 2019) :

      MACOS Monterey version 12.0.1

      Adobe Creative Suite upgrade to Premiere Pro 22.0, After Effects 22.0,etc

       

      New Project after installs caused loss of Adobe Dynamic Link functionality between Premiere Pro and After Effects.

      File sent to AE from Premiere Pro and received properly by AE. Modification completed in AE and file saved (file can be reopened inAE intact).

      Dynamic Link attempts to import modified file. Time line indicates modified file replaced original but NO VIDEO is present.

      Standing By.

      these are known issues under investigation. Dynamic link between different Adobe video apps

      seems to be malfunctioning on certain machines for the time being, please roll back to previously working versions.

        Thanks for the update and info. Hope this will be fixed soon. My deadlines are already turned sour and I can't roll back, since I can't get the projects open with older versions. So I either just wait or the start all current projects from the scratch. Meanwhile I'll try to find a workaround.

          turn off automatic updates on the creative cloud app,

          if you wanna test new versions you can always keep the 

          current one and install the new one to try separately on test projects..

          try the automatically saved projects, maybe you still have ones on the older version.

          The saga continues.

          I've found now that it is perhaps an issue with either dynamic link AND/OR After Effects. I was able to export from render queue in AE, HOWEVER the render was corrupt. I can't get dynamic link to work to send AE render to AME, it just loads infinitely.

          I'm wondering if it has something to do with the project I'm working on having been created in AE2021...it looks like I'm going to have to rebuild the entire project...layers to expressions since nothing I have done from complete unistall and clean of all apps has worked to resolve this issue.

          Adobe, HELP!

          I unistalled and re installed and then clear cache data (?) and then exported a new AE file and then had the project open while I dropped it in...and it worked...

          Also tried this mymself with no luck. I resorted to rebuilding my project in a new AE project and while now I can get my project to open (with AE open, importing the AE project file into PR), it will play back, however, now I can't get transcription and captions in the CAPTIONS workspace working correctly.

          This is in a totally new AE project and rebuilt composition. What is happening Adobe?!

          I can't even get the composition selector to open, it just enters an eternal loading loop, or crashes

          Same issue. Drag an AE file on to my Premiere project window, sometimes the Composition selector opens, but then shows nothing, just eternally 'Connecting to project...'. Same whether AE running with same project open or not.

           

          Have tried reinstalling both Premiere and AE and still the same issue. 

          Only workaround I have found is to export using Render Queue as RGB+Alpha and drop that .MOV into the Premiere project. Not ideal at all and such a waste of time when making amends.

            UPDATE

             

            I've managed to get it working (sometimes), when having the AE compostion open on AE. But when I open Premiere without AE open, the same problem exists. Still walking on thin ice on just waiting for the crash...

              I can confirm! Could not, no matter what I did yesterday, get it to work without crashing or freezing up – tried with the AE project open and no issues. yet.

              Having similar issues since CC2022 update last week. Have since completely unistalled and cleaned all apps and reinstalled fresh. Still can't get AE to dynamic link to PR – at varying stages of app crash (sometimes when importing AE comps, sometimes when doing something as simple as changing the workspace IF I was able to even successfully import a comp)

              Kind of bummer that basic functionality on flagship products seems to be degrading with each release...

              I have the exact same problem, it also feels like its getting worse each time Premiere crashes. Now just by clicking on the dynamic link in my timeline my program is crashing.
