Premiere Pro 2022 - Dynamic Link Not working with After Effects

After updating to PP 22, dynamic link with AE is not working. I've tried going to documents and putting OLD after dynamic link folder, but this did nothing.

This is so disappointing and am actually installing beta versions to finish a project. 

    Correct answer andz

    Just an update on our side with regard on this dynamic link problem.

    As of now with the latest update PP 22.11 AE 22.11 ME 22.11 , the dynamic link is working properly.

     

    I hope also the lumetri will be fix soon.

     

     

    Ill update here soon if something wrong comes up.

    This is still happening to me after a clean (formatted) install of mac os. So, I don't think residual files are the issue here.

    How do we downsave our Premiere projects from 2022 to 2021 so we can work on them until Adobe releases an update?

    What I did was export the project as a XML file in PPro 2022. I believe you have to do this for each timeline in your project. Then I went back to the previous version of PPro and imported that XML file and my timeline was mostly there. I had to re-link AE comps and recreate any graphics I had made with the essential graphics in Premiere. So, a little bit of work but, better than starting over. Good luck.

      So i had tried uninstalling, reinstalling and nothing was working. 
      I contacted support and they had me go to After Effects and go to Preferences>Memory and
      performance and then turn of the option for Multi render and then close AE and then
      restar my computer. So far so good, everything seems to be linking now

        So Adobe's solution is to turn off the flagship feature of the new update?  Did they say this was a temporary solution?  Obviously it should work with multiframe rendering.

          Same problem here on 2017 iMac pro.  Dynamic link doesn't work, and freezes up PP so that menus no longer drop and the beachball of death appears.

          Dynamic link... broken. By extension Essential Graphics... broken. The two main reasons to use Premiere over anything else. If I have to pre-render all my graphics, I may as well use a different package.

            go ahead and try an alternative and you'll find different but equally serious issues... I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy, so I always render out of AE and place that directly on top of my AE comp in the premiere timeline...

            Same problem here. Dynamic link is not working with Media Encoder and Premiere Pro. Tried to clean cache, reinstall and nothing worked. While adding AAE comp to PP, program freezes, but when you queue AAE comps in ME it cannot connect to this project. Never had simmilar problem.

            the only solution i got for this is to run all my adobe programs as administrator so that the dynamic link can have freedom to access every folder it needs.

              odd that an update would cause permissions issues but thanks for posting your solution...

              I just worked with my IT department to solve this problem. AE was referencing the old media encoder. I uninstalled and reinstalled media encoder and then made sure I was using the 2022 versions of all three programs and it is working now... worth a try?

                Same problem here. I spent 1 full working day with 4 projects heavily relying on dymanic links (linked compositions in premiere to AE). Rendering time was up nearly 1.5x within after effects, my computer was far choppier, and worst of all I simply couldn't open up my projects and work on them due to dyamic link issues within AE/Premiere.

                 

                I've decided best option is to uninstall 2022 versions of adobe software, and stay on previous versions. This will be the first time I've had to do such a thing in 2-3 years.

                 

                Unfortunate.

                  Some users may need to "go nuclear" ... using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of PrPro and Ae, reboot, and then re-install. I'm on a tablet or I'd paste the link ... but search for that tool.

                   

                  It would be rather nice if this got just fixed. I think I'll check also on the AfterEffects forum for any comments there. Those people tend to be more savvy on the DL workflows.

                      Thanks but this tool seems like a very exhaustive, damaging and unnecessary solution to a problem Adobe created. Any idea on when they will release the update which solves everyone's issue here?
