Premiere Pro 2022 - Dynamic Link Not working with After Effects

[JamieWoods]

After updating to PP 22, dynamic link with AE is not working. I've tried going to documents and putting OLD after dynamic link folder, but this did nothing.

This is so disappointing and am actually installing beta versions to finish a project. 

[elamrotem]

before doing it, try closing all the adobe progs, and kill the undead After Effect process in the task manager. Then the dynamic links work. (I still had crushes on my renders so I reverted to the older versions of Premiere, After effects, and the Encoder.

I reinstalled everything from scratch. Experiencing a serious problem with playing clips on the timeline. It slows down a lot and Playhead freezes and disappears for a while. Clips don't play smoothly. File format .MP4 video stream AVC audio stream PCM. The frames were obtained from a SONY A7s3 camera, recorded in SLOG3 with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 25 FPS with 100 mb/sec 4:2:0 subcreditation

I do sincerely hope that no one with paying clients upgrades ever to a new major release without thoroughly testing the new release for stability with their personal workflow. And I don't care what software you use made by what company.

The Adobe apps do allow you to have multiple major versions installed simultaneously, so it makes new releases quite a painless process IF you follow the above. You install the new version and test ... while working all client work in the old version.

BlacMagic's Resolve for instance does not allow you to do this. And with that major setup format they use, of creating the separate database which must track to the version you're using, it ain't simple to move forward or backwards in different versions.

Which is why the colorsts I work with always initially load Resolve updates on a secondary machine, and only update their main working rig when it's stable on the second rig.

BlackMagic just released a Resolve 'dot' update that has wondrous new features, but if like me you actually check the forums ... you see that a lot of users are having complete show-stopper issues with the new release. I'm not updating my working computer until they've posted another 'patch' or two. Won't hurt me a bit, and makes life less painful.

I've got the Adobe video apps for 2018/2019/2020/2022 and the public beta of 2022 loaded on my current working machine. I still have my older computer which has clear back to 2015 ... including (heavy, sad sigh here ... ) ... SpeedGrade installed.

Safety in working processes. Manual saves. Save-as iterative, Save-to another drive, all those things matter. Computers fail. Humans fail. Count on it, and build a workflow that gets past the expected failures with as little muss and pain as possible.

Excellent, excellent advice. I learned the hard way this time.

[R Neil Haugen]

Hey, me too a few years back. Geez ... that was painful.

Same problem! Will be re-installing 2021. Very dissapointed with Adobe's performance over the last year.

[R Neil Haugen]

I don't have a clue why you uninstalled the 15.x/2021 version to begin with. Upgrading any software the first couple days it comes out is ... not wise.

For example, BlackMagic just released 17.4 Resolve, which is a major update in many ways. And works great for many users, while many others simply cannot work in it. Major bugs and changes that blow their workflows out the window.

Wait until there's time for the larger userbase to get comfy with it. Then upgrade your working setup.

And this is from someone who's actually getting quite stable performance in both the 22.x shipping, and the 22.x public beta.

I would not have updated my projects by importing them into 22.x until the app proved stable for my needs on my machine.

I'm holding off on updating Resolve for a couple more weeks at least. Mark Todd Osborne and a couple others are noting the 17.4.1 'patch' released to fix 17.4.0's many issues ... is worse than what it supposedly fixed in their case.

Yet other Resolve users are loving it. Software ... bizarre stuff.

Neil hi.
I discovered today a flaw in the dynamic connection between the created composition in AE and the feedback from Pr. I can't restore the correct color contrast on the effect itself. As if the glow effect is being applied repeatedly. Moreover, everything is normal in the AE composition itself. In the delivery to the timeline in Pr, it looks like this. 

 

Pay attention to the effect of the label appearing. Don't take the background into account, I painted it. At the same time, I noticed that if you remove the painting, the effect is restored to its normal state.

 

What to do?

[Baffy19]

one of the solutions is to have to adjust the effects to the visualization again. Then it seems to become normal. We need to somehow upgrade the Color Management function in the new update. I suggest adding the ability to manifest AE compositions in the same way as in Pr. There is no such possibility now. I think it will work. What do you say to Neil?

My Motion Graphics Templates (.mogrt) no longer open or load in Premiere after upgrading to 2022.  I assume it is the same issue as this thread, because I believe it uses Dynamic Link for certain things.  Having to choose between not breaking your workflow on one project or using the latest features in all your other projects is frustrating. 

[defaultovqkkm63nn3q]

Same problem. 

Working with adobe is becoming unbearable. So many extra hours of work go in to solving their problems. 

[Baffy19]

Write in which operating system are you running Win or Mac? And indicate with newly created projects in the updated version v.22.0 there are problems with dynamic links or migrated projects from the previous version.
This is a very important question.

[billnaustin]

The solution to the broken "dynamic link" is upgrade to macOS Monterey 

[Paul Dumas]

not working here

[billnaustin]

And you're using Monterey?

Can you at least export in AE (and skip Media Encoder), ie. "Add to Render Queqe"? 

[Paul Dumas]

I am using Monterey.  It is a project that originated in a previous version.  Problems in both Windows and Mac.

[billnaustin]

Good info, then it's definitely on Adobe's side. But I can confirm, as soon as I upgraded (an hour ago) to Monterey, everything I sent from AE22 to ME 22 worked fine. That being said, AE 22 is still really sluggish at times, even the menus. 

[Paul Dumas]

I'm not sending comps to Media Encoder.  Trying to use .mogrt files that use dynamic link.

[Mike7385]

Really? Can anyone else verify?

[Baffy19]

I work on the Win 10 platform and have no difficulties in Dynamic link with AE. It doesn't matter if it's a new project or an old one. Everything works fine.

[Guest]

If you open the After Fx project that contains all the link files and after that you open PP, everythink will link, of course this will only work if the dynamic links are in the same AE file, other wise, no luck. This is far from a solution, but it is the best I have. PP 22 is very dissapointing, what a huge bug. (Mac Big Sur, up to date with a Mac Pro)

[Paul Dumas]

opening after effects isn't working for me.  I have a some pretty complex .mogrts created in previous versions of AE, but I expect them to work in PP22 as well as they did in previous versions.

[Baffy19]

Is there anyone using dynamic link on the Windows platform???

[Baffy19]

And indicate with newly created projects in the updated version v.22.0 there are problems with dynamic links or migrated projects from the previous version.
