I was working on a project in Premiere Pro 2023 that has a lot of VFX - to do this, I used a lot of dynamic link After Effects 2023 compositions in the Premiere Pro timeline. Somewhere along the way, I update Premiere Pro 2024 and After Effects 2024.
After that, I open the Premiere project and all of the dynamic link compositions have gone offline. I open the AE project and there's an error that says "After Effects error: bad tracked memory ID (23 :: 33)". I click OK and it gives me an alert window which says "Encountered warnings while opening a project.
1) After Effects warning: can not find source item for layer ID=1069; will replace with a placeholder." and repeats this many times over for dozens of layers, each with different ID numbers. The last warning line says "40) After Effects warning: your project file is apparently damaged (skipped sections: 1). Please save using a different name."
Once I get into the project, many of the elements have been replaced by placeholders titled "Recovered".
I am able to access the original AE project file however, by right-clicking on the offline comp clip in the Premiere timeline and clicking "Edit Original", which would open the original AE project which is unaffected by the errors. That was able to work a few times, but now when I open the original AE file that way, nothing appears in the preview window in AE.
I am trying to figure out how to get the AE project and all of the dynamic link comps back. Super frustrating! If I cannot get these backs, that's hours of work just completely wasted. If it's a relevant detail, I used a few third party plugins in the AE project.
