Premiere Pro can't Dynamic Link to an AE comp with Advanced 3D renderer?

I've been building a comp in AE with two .glb models in it using the Advanced 3D renderer... 

 

Imported the comp into a Premiere Pro seequence and nothing would show up in the program monitor, just a black screen. 

 

Tried using "render and replace" and it has been stuck at the "analyzing project" for 10 minutes or so. 

 

I am guessing this functionality isn't supported yet? Guess I will avoid dynamic link entirely and just render out of AE... 

 

I am on a 16-inch 2021 M1 MBP.

Thanks @DaciaSaenz, 

 

I checked and confirmed that by lowering the render quality all the way to 1, shadow resolution to half and smoothness to 1, I was able to get the linked comp to operate. Maybe I will have to play around to see just how much quality I can squeeze out of it before it goes dark. 

 

Here is a screenshot of the shadow settings I was using when the linked comp would not render. I had set them roughly following the guidelines that Eran Stern suggests in the last chapter of his tutorial "How to use the NEW 3D WORKSPACE in After Effects."

 

Edit: Since I forgot to anwer your questions... Premiere v 24.1.0 (build 85) and AE v 24.1.0 (Build 78).

Hi @Caleb24766126mhux,

 

Can you share what versions of AE and Premiere Pro you're using? 

Can you also open the Render Options for 3D in After Effects and share the Render and Shadow Settings? 

You can get to these settings from the 3D Renderer dropdown in the Comp Window. 

 

 

 

Black Screens can occur if the Render Quality and Shadow Settings are too high for your system. 

 

 

 

Lowering these for working previews may help bring a render back. 

 

If changing these things doesn't help, can you share your project with me? 
Feel free to DM me if you would rather share it privately. 

Cheers,
