Question

Dynamic link to AE issue

I've been working on a Premiere project that is dynamically linked to After Effects. For 2 months it has work as expected. This morning I am having issues. Premiere will not relink the comps. When manually relinking Premiere gets hung up, won't even see the AE Comp when I'm pointing to the AE project. Then I get a 'generic error' (see attached). 

 

If I open the After Effects project first, leave it open in the background, then open Premiere, everything works as expected. After trashing Premiere Preferences, still having same issue.

 

There are constant tweaks to the animation and I do not want to re-render in AE everytime there is a revision. I typically render out of AE once the video is client-approved.

 

Anyone else have this issue and found the fix?

 

Premiere 2020 v14.1.0 (Build 116)

AE 2020 v17.0.6 (Build 35)

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

Memory: 64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics: Radeon Pro 580 8 GB

    Exact same issue for me. Almost appears like something has got corrupted and I need to reset the dynamic link cache/database or something.

    Same issue. Had to go back to AE 17.04 and Premier 14.0.3. What a headache. On with tech support for 3 hours. Thought he had it fixed but did not. This backward install seems to be working.

      I am not a fan of backward install. The correct approach is that Adobe becomes aware of this major issue, fixes and releases new CC versions asap. Is it safe to say that Adobe monitors all Support Community threads? Or is there a better way to get Adobe's attention on this?

      Not a fan either. What will happen when I need to make changes in a few months. I hope Adobe monitors these threads and fixes this issue. Not sure how to get Adobe's attention, if anyone knows please chime in.

      my instinct based on my experiences is that as the ae project gets more complicated the link to ae comps in premiere gets more problematic.  For me the solution has been to render out the comp in ae and then edit this file on top of the ae comp in premiere...  In a perfect world this shouldn't be necessary... but. and it may just be operator error (on my part...).
