Audio Sync with AE / Premiere Dynamic Link?
I’m trying to streamline my animation / motion graphics workflow a bit and could use some suggestions.
I’m starting with audio in Premiere. The timing of various audio clips has been arranged the way I want (usually a voiceover made of a few clips). Then I use Dynamic Link to put a scene into After Effects and add animation. This audio is only used as a guide, since Premiere / Media Encoder will do the actual rendering later.
Sometimes as I’m working on animation, I find it would be useful to change the timing of the audio clips slightly, and that’s where the workflow gets messy. That’s perfectly easy to do within AE. However, these changes are not reflected in Premiere. Here are the options I am aware of:
1) Render the scene in AE and put it back into Premiere as footage. This bring the audio in, which can either be used as-is or as a guide to re-syncing the original audio. I guess that works, but it’s an extra step I’d rather not deal with since I’ll have to re-export from Premiere anyway.
2) Just deal with it and manually re-sync the audio clips in premiere. This wouldn’t be so bad except that I can’t see the waveform so I have to do it blind (a way to show the waveform in the Dynamically-Linked composition would be a great solution if it exists).
Neither of these are really optimal. Does anyone know of an easier way to reflect changes made to the audio in AE back into Premiere? Ideally I wish I could just see the waveform from the dynamically linked scene without having to render it and re-insert it.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I try to get the audio as close as possible. But sometimes when I’m working on animation I just realize that something needs to take longer visually than I anticipated.
The idea of just outputting the audio is a great idea, though. That’s not so bad. Thanks!
Still interested if anyone else has any other ideas, too, though. I’m surprised there is no option to include audio with dynamic link. Am I missing something?

was having similar troubles with AE/Pr dynamic link. I “replaced with after effects comp” in Pr, made A/V changes and then the audio wasn’t there in Premiere……
i just re-imported the comp in premiere from the proj tab. worked.
sometimes the dynamic link get’s caught, i think.
don’t kno wif this help with your situation, but i thought i would offer it for others perhaps. simple fix.
cheers,
Kaileen
