AE to Pr Dynamic Link Not Working Properly

Report · Apr 28, 2017

Updated from previous version to 2017. Had a AE-Pr project that was heavily dependent upon Dynamic Link that is now messed up. I have to restart both programs after saving both projects in order to see the changes come through - not exactly "dynamic link". Is this a known bug? Is there a work-around that's less involved?

Thanks!

We have been having similar issues in our post production group since the latest release.

2017.1 Premiere & 2017.2 After Effects

MacOS 10.12.2 - 2013 Mac Pros

32-64 GB of RAM

AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

Every one that updated to 2017.1 Premiere & 2017.2 After Effects has experienced issues with the Dynamic Linking between AE and Premiere. The dynamic link files are not updating in Premiere after changes are made in After Effects. On Friday, we thought the problem was happening when we imported clips through media browser, but this morning an editor that had imported his clips using the import to his bin ran into the same problem.

Right now, it seems the only way to update these comps in Premiere is by restarting the program.

“While working in premiere and after effects, I drag a comp from AE to PR and then if I make any changes to the AE comp, I have to restart both AE and PR to see the change in PR. I tried making the comps offline and then relinking them, but that didn't work. The only way I been able to do it is to close out of both programs and reopen them.”

Please let us know if you have some options we can try. I’ve seen similar posts relating to this on previous releases, but we hesitate to uninstall, reinstall unless this is a known solution to this problem.

Please let us know what you find.

Have you checked out the AfterEffects forum for threads on this?

Kind of, but I didn't find anything relating specifically to this issue. This seemed to be the thread that was closest to what we're experiencing.

Was there a particular AE thread that relates to this?

I was just thinking that most of the people that do both AE & PrPro tend to hang over there at least some of the time, and most of the people that hang here only don't tend to do that much in AE.

So often, the best help for PrPro/Ae issues is from folks like Dave LaRonde, Roei Tzoref, Mylenium, Rick Gerard, or Szalam and the others over on the Ae forum ... they deal with this on a daily basis.
