Dynamic link Issue, broken, not working Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 (WITH SOLUTION)

Adobe had a new major update of their softwares (Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, AE 2022 and Media Encoder 2022)

 

After this update I got a major problem that freezed Adobe Premiere with After Effects comp (Dynamic Link not working) 

 

You can find some solutions here :
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/dynamic-link-broken-with-premiere-cc2020-upd...

 

Unfortunately none of them worked for me, probably because I'm on a Mac.

 

So here what I've done that worked for me.

 

First some context. 
Computer : Macbook Pro M1
Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 project with After effects 2021 Animations and sounds integrated with Dynamic Link.

 

After the update to 2022 versions, opening Adobe Premiere will freeze AE animations, will load indefinitely, or simply crash (need to force quit)

 

Solution
1- Quit all the apps

 

2- Kill the Dynamic link manager from Activity Monitor. Search for dynamiclinkmanager, click on it and then on the cross button to close / quit the app (this one is important)

 

3- Open finder then go to documents > Adobe and rename the folder dynamiclinkmediaserver to dynamiclinkmediaserver OLD (this step seems working on windows)

 

4- In finder open libraries (click on GO located on the top menu, click on alt button on keyboard) once in libraires > Application Support > Adobe and rename the folder dynamiclinkmediaserver to dynamiclinkmediaserver OLD

 

5- Turn off your mac and boot it.

 

6- Open Adobe Premiere and create a new project. Do not open the original project!

 

7- Click on file > import > entire project (choose your old project 2021, 2019 whatever)


The loading process may take longer than usual, it seems there's a conversion process from old to 2022

For me I had to do all these steps. I tried without step 3, 4 or 7 it didn't work. Not my first battle with buggy Adobe stuff.

 

Hopes it will help. Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my native language.

 

Wish you all the best from the Alps 🙂

My original solution was a little off, but it looks like you guys are finding it. You neeed to go to AE Preferences, Memory & Perfromance tab, an UNCHECK "Enable Multi-Frame Rendering". I misstated it earlier.

Having EXACTLY the same isssues with the 2022 update. Premiere, AE and AMC have various dynamic link problems. PP needs to be forced quit every time. None of the AE comps relink in any Premeire project. I've followed your process above, done the cleaner tool routine; eveyrthing I know to try. I've cleared out as much old stuff as possible. Anyone have any answers please?

Thank you Jon, 

 

This is definitely the correct and much easier solution.

I made a test and worked like a charm 🙂

 

The "solution" I gave was really too complicated !

 

Thanks again

 

Adobe need to fix it.

Jon - thank you for posting this!

 

I found the checkbox but wasn't able to get a successful export out of Media Encoder until I restarted my computer. For those of you who have been riding the struggle bus like me (for 10 stinking days, brooding over this issue), don't forget to quit everything and restart after you uncheck the box!

Thanks for that solution (as I see it helped quite some people already).
Is there anything else I should be aware of or any other steps I have to concider?
The "Enable Multi-Frame Rendering" I did uncheck, closed everything and restarted the computer.
But the issue still exists. When I load a Motion Graphics Template into the timeline the progress bar is stuck at 15%.

Best, Mathias

anyone realize we WANT multi-frame rendering on for AE? Thats the big news with the new AE update and if you're mostly a AE user this solution isn't the best, although it works. So basically, everytime I have a non-dynamic link project I have to remember to turn it back on. Hopefully adobe fixes this crap soon.

This is so painfully annoying and is costing me half a working day. I left a project last nght, complete. Adobe updates on it's own accord over night, I need to do two minor tweaks and now can't access my project and my client is waiting.  I've tried a million things and have the latest Mac Book Pro. No luck. Adobe, sort it out.

Yesterday I spent time with Adobe support. They had me uncheck a preference in AE that seems to have solved all my dynamic link issues. It is AE preferences and I beleive it is new. Uncheck the "multithread render" box I think in General pref tab. I'm going by memory but that miraculously solved my issuses. Good luck!

Today I see that Adobe released v22.0.1 which mention "multi-frame rendering". Has anyone downloaded and installed to see if it fixes the problem. Honestly I don't want to yet since it was so difficult to reslove the original issue and lost work hours. Anyone give it a shot yet??

I've updated it. It was like the heavens parted when I saw AE pop up on the update list. I still don't have the multi-frame rendering checked BUT the latest update has made it so I can actually export my dynamically linked graphics in my Premiere project out of Media Encoder.

 

That has been the worst part since the first update almost 2 weeks ago, and it seems they have resolved it (so far). I probably don't use these programs as intensely as some here, but the basic functionality seems to be back (for me).

There is an easy workaround while waiting Adobe fix this issue.

 

I render direcly from After Effects.

File - Export - Add to Render Queue

I change the Quicktime settings to Apple Prores.

I open AME and convert the MOV file to MP4, it takes a few seconds.

Don't forget to delete the MOV files, they can fill your drive really fast.

 

The solution of turning off multi frame rendering... not a solution since it cuts rendering time so much.

Why skipping this new feature when  I've been whinning about the lack of it for so many years 🙂

 

I've been able to render a project that took previoulsy 3 hours in half the time.
