Media Offline Issue via AE Comp
I have one clip that is set as offline. I used Dynamic Link to do some AE work on the clips but now one shows up as offline. In the screenshot I have another clip that was worked on but does not show up as offline. Can anyone offer any help with this?

Render out the clip from AE and replace the clip in the timeline (alt-click-drag over clip).
As for how to fix the issue, I’d clean your media cache and restart the app to see if that clears up the issue. Also, you aren’t anywhere near what you should have for RAM. 8GB is minimum and you really want to have at 16GB minimum… PR + AE + OS all sharing 4GB is measely to say the least.

Thanks. Will render, just thought some how I could re-link.
Happily Santa gave me money towards a new Mac knowing that I am woefully lacking in computer power. Now to make the choice of Mac.MB

Are you unable to re-link in the normal way? — In the project window, right click on the offline Dynamic Linked AE comp, then select the appropriate After Effects project.
For me (in CS5.5), Dynamic Linking is not worth it. It slows down performance and can cause all sorts of problems.
If I need to work a specific PP clip in AE, here is the only way I use Dynamic Linking now: I will ‘Replace with After Effects composition’. That sends the clip to AE with the right In & Out points, linked to the correct original media. Then I immediately undo that action in PP so the original clip remains in my sequence. Then after I am finished working the clip in AE, I export a DNxHD file and import it into PP.
