just today,  when i choose 'edit original,  on an after effects comp from within premiere, it opens VCL player istead of after effects

also it seems that any new changes are not updating now, between AE and premiere, although premiere is playing the file fine.

i updated premiere yesterday, and it appears hat this problem has happened since the update.

    oh guys, i see whats happening now......

    silly me !!

    i had rendered and replaced the clips as an xmf to make them play back easier, so had to restore unrendered to get it to work again

    sorry about that

    Make sure all programs are on the latest version, that includes AE.

    default app is set to after effects & all my apps are up to date.

    actually in this particular project i have 2 main after effects projects linked to it.  the newer project works fine with dynamic link

    but its an older project that is doing this.

    I assume you mean "VLC" player. Are you on a PC or Mac? There are ways on either platform to change the default app used when launching a video file. More details would help...thanks!
