  • Adobe Dynamic Link Not Working!

    Posted by Jason Satterlund on February 25, 2014 at 6:33 pm

    I am working in Adobe Premier CC and when I attempt to dynamic link it to After Effects, AE makes a composition, but there is no clip in the comp.

    My workflow is: I place a clip on the timeline in PP.
    Right click and choose, “Replace with After Effects Composition.”
    I am sent to AE, and a new comp is created with the correct length.

    But there is no video clip. Nothing.

    I have tried signing out and signing back in, I have dumped the cache, and nothing works.

    A little help?

    It has to be After Effects CC. Dynamic link only works within the CC suite.

    I do have CC in both AE and PP. It still doesn’t work.

    What format is the clip, I had problems dynamic linking Canon C300 mxf files a while back. Ae CC did some weird stuff for me then too.

    I am in fact using the C300, but I tried it using both still images and a Quicktime movie. I also set up a different timeline to see if that was it, but still nothing.

    It just makes a comp with no file in it.

    Hmmm, that is strange, not sure whats going on there sorry. Did you also try creating a new project file?

    I would try looking for an Adobe update through Bridge. Not knowing your OS specifics, it may not be the culprit. I can only say that when we upgraded to Maverick, we lost the dynamic link and were advised to do an Adobe update through Bridge. It did the trick.

    I am having the same issue, did you ever find a solution besides re installing?

    I am having the same issue and it’s driving me nuts. I updated Bridge, like the guy suggested and nothing. Did you ever resolve the issue?

    Same thing happening with me, totally stuck at the end of a project as need to edit titles in AE. Have just come over from FCPX so this is majorly frustrating. Anybody knows a fix please share. Thanks

    I’ve been having the same issue. A comp is created in AE but the clip doesn’t come over.

    Here’s a possible work around. Import the clip directly into AE and drop it into the comp that was created by Dynamic Link. It will update from that point in Premiere.
