If I use After Effects, then cancel subscription, will my AE effects created for PPro get deleted?

Hope I worded that correctly above.

So, if I use AE and create effects in my Premiere Pro CC timeline, will those effects be auto removed from my Premiere Pro timeline after I cancel my AE subscription?

Thanks for your time.

"Effects" is a generic term. You'll need to be specific what these effects are and how you got them from AE, into PPro. You should also be aware that using Dynamic Linking will require BOTH applications. Hence, you will lose your AE effects in PPro. If you had used MoGRTs to get your AE effects into PPro, AND if you used effects that are native to the mini-AE engine that runs together with PPro, for MoGRTs, then you are OK.

Creative Cloud is an "all or nothing thing". If you cancel AE, you lose Premiere Pro as well (unless you really have expensive single-app subscriptions). The rest is a moot point. No AE, no MOGRT templates or "effects" as you call them. Without a working and fully licensed AE engine there is simply no way to dynamically render content and thus those functions won't be available.

Thanks, so to be clear, if I have separate subscriptions, one for ppro and one for AE....and I use dynamic link to use AE to do some effects...(example, image scaling from 4:3 to 16:9 ).....

If when I'm done and the video in PPRo looks great.....  I let the subscription expire for AE (keeping PPRO)  but the scaling effects created by AE , installed in ppro timeline, will auto delete, because I no longer have AE ?  Sound about right to you?

Thanks for confirming.

I'm not certain what the PPro Timeline will look like after you've removed your AE subscription. IOW, the "auto delete" of AE Dynamic Linked assets may or may not occur - my guess is is for something more subtle/elegant to occur and you'll be see the regular in-out points of the originally linked AE assets but also be prompted that AE is missing and an Offline Asset is in place.
