Hi,
Edit: The current solution is to update After Effects to 22.0.1. The update is available on the Creative Cloud desktop app. 

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you so much! We think we may have found one solution – it's working for us right now but we don't want to get our hopes up. So if anyone can figure out compatablie versions, that would still be greatly appreacite. 

 

Even if it can help for a bit, it may be worth it for some!

 

If you are using a Mac, it turns out secuirty/privacy settings could be blocking the dynamic link between the programs.

 

Follow these steps (attached video for help):

1. Open "Sytem Preferences" on your computer

2. Go to "Security & Privacy" 

3. Click 4th tab "Privacy" 

4. Scroll down on the right hand side to "Full Disk Access" 

5. Click the lock and enter your password to make changes

6. Put a checkmark next to "Adobe After Effects" and "Adobe Media Encoder" 

7. Restart computer 

 

Good Luck 🙂 Hope this helps!

I've recently had this issue and found selecting "edit original" on the AE file inside the premiere bin (it will re-open the same AE file you've been working with) will allow the link to work again and display changes in real time without issues each time you save.  It solved it for me, on a mac using Pr 2022 and AE 2022.

Hope it helps.

This is still happening on the latest version even with the Full Disk Access granted to all Adobe apps. Adobe please fix this this is beyond frustrating.

I have the same issue using v22.4. I am currently upgrading to v22.4.

I mistyped the version I have been using (v.22.3).

This is happening again with Premiere 22.1.2 and AE 22.1.1 Is there a fix coming? I have projects due that I can't work on. Very frustrating.

Hello,

 

Unfortunately, this doesnt fix anything for us. Could you please let us know which of the older versions are compatible with one another because we have wasted an obsene amount of time trying to match up Ae to Me (so they are able to link for render). 

 

We have read every forum and nothing is working – not updates, not rebotting/resetting applications + computer.

 

I have clients that are very upset in the delays this is causing with our deadlines and workflow. We pay 1000s of dollars to opperate these programs – and using the excuse "sorry Adobe isn't working" doesn't suffice to paying clients with important deadlines. 

 

Thanks,

BGG

Use the last build 15... (I don't remember the number) before switching to the new 22. It was in her that everything worked perfectly. A lot of things have been eliminated there.

Hello Kevin,

 

I just did the update to 22.0. 

Files from the pervious version will no longer open.

When PP opens it advise you that the file will be converted but no data lost.

Then it is having trouble linking files. (I have bypassed with offline for those few files and manullay re-linked)

Either way it starts to open project and crashes. 

Potentially I have lost any work that is not yet finished. I am a senior in college with 2 weeks until graduation.

Your advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have restarted and tried to open files all kinds of ways.

When migrating forward, do not simply open previous version projects in a new version.

 

Create a new project file in the new version. Then from the MediaBrowser panel, navigate to/select the old project file. Right-click, Import the assets of that file into the new project.

 

This does two things well: you get a more stable and likely-to-succeed new project, and the old project file is untouched and still usable in the old version.

 

If there are any glitches in the new project file, simply keep working in the older version with the old project file.

Most of us aren't having any troubles. But we've been where you are, and understand.

 

Have you checked on the AfterEffects forum? The folks over there tend to have a lot more experience at troubleshooting Ae/Pr issues. Might get you working again.

This si Pretty much a joke. Can't use the dynamic link because it crashes. It crashes when you attempt to render.

I sloved this issue!!

 

My issue: I updated to 2022 mid-project, and got a whole slew of problems. My main sequence viewer widow would stop working, I was getting tons of "low level exception occurred" errors. Attempting to render my 15 min video would result in the program crashing during the "encoding" stage, and sending it to Adobe Media Encoder wouldn't work, that would freeze too. Basic clean reinstalling didn't fix anything, updating my drivers didn't work, changing to/from software and hardware rendering didn't work, nothing worked. 

 

Finally, here is what worked! I re-installed an older version of premier, I went back to 2021. I took my precious project file (like a weeks worth of work for me) and did the 7zip trick to make it backwards compatible with older PP versions (thanks google).

Then, I opened PP 2021 and IMPORTED (not oepend!) the project, choosing only the one precious final sequence that I wanted to render. 

I was able to render it out of PP 2021 with no issues

Thanks Kevin, 

It works for now, hope I can use multi-frame rendering soon.
