Dynamic linked composition in Premiere does not open to the correct position in AE timeline

New Here ,
Jul 24, 2025 Jul 24, 2025

I am having a problem with Dynamic link, on MacOS.  I edit video footage in Premiere and create graphics in After Effects. I've been using Dynamic Link for years and it's been great. I can make small adjustments to my AE composition and see the changes immediately in my Premiere timeline. (This part still works.)

However, when I click on the composition in the Premiere timeline and select Edit Original, it opens in AE but not at the correct position in the timeline. (It simply opens the comp to the position it was last viewed in AE.)

I've searched thoroughly for information on this issue and I've tried everything that's been suggested but without any success. I had hoped that updating everything, including my MacOS would finally fix the problem but it has not.
I first encountered the problem on my MacBook Pro M1Max running CC 2024 After not being able to resolve it with updates, I fired up my M1 MacMini, updated the MacOS and the Adobe Creative Suite. I then created completely new AE and Premiere projects and I still experience the same issue! Am I missing something?? 

Without synchronization between the Premiere and After Effects timelines, my workflow is wrecked! 

If anyone can offer advice on this issue, I shall be immensely grateful. Thank you.

 

MacBook Pro M1 Max, Sonoma 14.7.1

After Effects 24.6.7 (also tried with 25.2.0)

Premiere 24.6.4 (also tried with 25.2.3)

 

I have the same behavior on

 

Mac mini M1 2020,  Sequoia 15.5

After Effects 25.3.2

Premiere 25.3.0

Thank you so much Jamie for your prompt response. 

Your acknowledgement of this as a bug means I don't need to do any further troubleshooting of my systems; I'll just get on with finishing the current project using workarounds. I do hope this can be fixed quickly and put into a upcoming point release.
I might add that this behavor persists, regardless of how the composition is created: File>Import, Import After Effects composition, drag and drop comp from AE into Premiere, Replace clip with AE comp.

 

Thanks again,

Andy
