Pr will not export, just hanging using Ae dynamic link

Hi, sorry as I am law enforcement, I can't send you anything worthwhile that would replicate the problem. I have given up on Dynamis Link. Its a shame as the priciple is great. I worked on a project (where the resulting 1 hr 15 mins of presentation footage was to be used at a criminal trial) for 3 weeks or so only to spend the next week rendering out all my Ae comps and placing the resulting files in the Pr sequence, overiding the originals on the timeline....if that makes sense.

Thanks anyway 

Still, it should not hang. Neil's suggestion is fine as a workaround, and it is what many users do. So @Mark Hatton can you get it to happen with just one or two small dynamically linked Ae comps and, if so, can you send me that project and the ae project(s) to go with it. So to be clear, I need one PrPro test project with the smallest number of linked Ae comps needed to repro the bug... and nothing else inside the Pr project. We need to eliminate as many variable as possible.

I fully understand. Very useful and I am very grateful. I think that is the way forward for me. I will now start that process.

Dynamic links to Ae can be problematic for many of us. I avoid them when possible, and when I can't, I tend to 'finish' the work in Ae, export each comp as a video clip, and replace the comp on the sequence with that clip.

You're ... keyframing in Ae, then back to Pr? That's a complex bit of work. You might ask on the Ae forum how to best handle that.

Can you explain further. I have a Pr sequence with most clips dynamic linked to Ae where I have completed the key framing effects. I have been using Pr for a couple of months so will need more detail if you would be so kind.

Have you tried doing a full export of video files from Ae to replace the comps?
