How do I reverse a dynamic link in a premiere timeline?
I spent around two weeks syncing a project where four cameras filmed out of sync and without timecodes, at long last I was finished, and when deciding on how best to apply color correction my friend came over and in his infamous wisdom linked to Adobe After Effects somehow and saved his work and left, he has no idea what he was doing…
Now I am left with a video track that says “Capture Linked Comp 01/Rabih Haddad.aep” instead of the four video tracks that used to be there :S
Can somebody please tell me how to reverse whatever my friend did?
I really do no want to repeat all my work 🙁
Thank you!

Can you just move backwards through the history states until the dynamic link is undone?

Ah if only my life were so simple!
Unfortunately my friend saved the project and exited premiere, in his infinite wisdom, subsequently clearing the history…

Hmmm… First, how about opening one of the previous auto-save .pproj files?
In CS3, the dynamic link is only an output from AE, so your “friend” would have needed to export the PPro sequence (as an AVI let’s say) so that he could bring it into AE to work on. The “Capture Linked Comp 01/Rabih Haddad.aep” is that AE dynamic link, and it would show the resulting CC work he/you performed in AE. So your original tracks or merged-tracks should still be accesible. What footage comprises the AE project?
Also, the “Capture Linked Comp 01/Rabih Haddad.aep” should have been placed in a new sequence, and there would have been no need to delete the original sequence. Are you sure the old sequence is not hiding in the project bin somewhere?
