  Dynamic Link

  Posted by Michael Goldberg on September 29, 2006 at 1:27 pm

  Hi,
  I finally got some free time to play around with Dynamic Link. It seems like a great idea, but kind of useless at this point. If I brink a AE Link into premiere and render it, it’s fairly quick, works ok. The problem is when I go back to AE if I do anything in that project, it sees it as a change, and causes it to become unrendered in premiere. Here’s a typical example: I do a complicated comp in AE, and I decide to look at the whole thing over a different background. After deciding I like the original background better, I go back to premiere and need to render again. Nothing has changed in the AE comp. I switched some layers, but then put everything back the way it was. Another example I then tried was to keep the original comp untouched, and create a new comp and try an alternate there. Again, coming back to premiere even though my imported AE comp has changed in no way, it sees the project has changed, and needs to be rendered. Finally, there really is no easy way to make the clip offline in premiere, then link to the 2nd composition. It seems clunky to have to create a separate project for alternate versions. Hopefully adobe will make some adjustments with the second go around.

  How about use the dynamic link half way….

  Create the dynamic link using the workflow of going from Premiere to After Effects…

  but then do you render in AE to generate a new resulting clip for use in Pre Pro…

  Any time you want to make a revision or spawn a new/alternate version, you can at least still quickly access the project file right from premiere…

  does that make sense?

  I can see doing it this way for things like generating a series of lower thrids based on a template you create …something like that….

  I’m sorry,
  No that doesn’t really make sense. If I’m using a rendered clip that’s imported into the project as opposed to the dynamic link, then it’s useless. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. Just seems Adobe needs to work on it.

  I agree that adobe needs to imporvie the workflow a bit.

  But if you have the AE Comp in the project window of Premiere Pro..

  you can also use that as the basis of quickly launching back into Premiere Pro to generate a new version. so it’s still easier than to launch manually and search for the associated project to gerenate the new version.
