This is getting so frustrating. A few months ago I could not use Media Encoder to render from Premiere. I was forced to render within Premiere. Last week everything was back to normal and I could render to ME. I started a new project yesterday and everything was good. I created an animated lower third in AE and imported it into PP. Today... it shows the AE file as offline and the only way it will show up is if I have the AE file open. This is a huge problem because I have multiple AE files embedded and can't have more than one open. Attempting to relink results in the pop-up Connecting to Dynamic Link server... displayed but never actually linking.

Hi McAloney!
Sorry about the dynamic link issues. Are you on the same versions of Premiere and After Effects? If you use a lot of dynamic link, make sure you don't update in the middle of projects.
Do you have any firewall security systems installed? Sometimes that can block dynamic link.
How long are you waiting while Connecting to Dynamic Link Server is loading? We'll use this info when we bring feedback to the product team.
Hi Caroline. I am using the same versions of both. I have not updated any apps mid project. Dynamic Link server does not connect. I've let it try to connect for about 10 minutes or so. If I try to import the AE file using, File - Adobe Dynamic Link but it says "Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. I've also tried to send a job from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder and recieved an error message saying that Media Encoder is not installed. I can open Media Encoder so it is installed.
