Question

Scenes in CH not updating in AE

I've run into this issue a few times now. I will have a scene imported into AE but I when I go back to CH and update it the changes don't seem to dynamically link back to AE. In fact sometimes they do but when I export the scene to MP4 the updated changes are not added and the original CH scene ends up exporting. This has happened several times to me now. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around. Thanks in advanced.

    I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do the CH file doesn't update in AE. Tried deleting and re-importing and some elements change but draggable arms seem to not change. Odd.

    Mine actually updates in AE but when I export into MP4 those CH edits don't show...yet they are still in the comp in AE its beyond frustrating

    Two workarounds I've started using are add current scene to new scene in CH (although this will not allow you to make rigging edits to the scene/characters) in the new scene. Plus you have to redo any keying in AE

    or

    Export AE comp to Premiere and export as Mp4.

    I'll make a video showing this bug when i get a chance hopefully sometime this weekend.

    Hmm, I haven't seen that before.

    How are you exporting to mp4 in AE - Render Queue or sending to AME?

    Do you do a fresh export each time, or keep restarting the same pre-existing export task?

    Asking around more and it seems like this may be a bug on AE's end. Is it possible to share here or DM me your full zipped project via a shared link on Google Drive, Dropbox, or Creative Cloud to take a closer look?
