Hi all,

 

In my premiere pro timeline, i have several dynamic links working properly. However a couple of them read media offline. When i attempt to relink them and select the file, a pop up comes telling me to import a composition, yet there is no composition available to import.

 

The strange part is if the after effects file of the dynamic link is open, it works fine. Anyone know how to solve this?
