Dynamic link titles from PP to AE
Trying to link my Premiere 2017 edit over to AE 2017 but my titles show up as black solids. Huh?

Dave,
Thanks for getting back to me so quick.
I thought the whole dynamic link thing was an integration of Automatic Duck, which works fine with FCP title tool.
Funny that it works well with arch nemesis Apple but not with sister apps. Or am I wrong on that?Is there another way to input titles that will come across? It’s hard to time supers in AE where it’s a total pain to playback in RT. Maybe a third party titler?
Thanks again. -
Hi Dave,
Are you trying to create your titles in Premiere and bring them into AE? If so, what you’re seeing is expected (yes not ideal I know). The titles will be replaced with a solid but remain in the correct location in the timeline.
The most common workflow is to create your titles in AE and bring them into Premiere via dynamic link or using text templates. Here’s a tutorial with the latest workflow incase you’re not familiar with it.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Peter

Very cool. Thank you.

Thanks, Dave.
Yeah, it’s just that I’ve used AutoDuck for years, and I like doing as much of the edit in my editing app before I get over to AE. I always had to reformat my titles after jumping over to AE but at least the text content was already there. Now I have to constantly refer back to my Premiere timeline to see which title this black solid represents, and then re-type it.
Ugh. I don’t ever really pre-produce things before I have a rough edit so that’s why I’m a little disappointed about this.If anyone at Adobe is reading this, it’s time to upgrade the PP title tool. If AutoDuck could make it work with FCP/Avid over a decade ago, I think you guys should be able to do something.

historically…
the title tool in PPro came about where I think they hired an engineer from Incsriber to write it, as it was a very popular add on to a lot of NLE’s at the time.
That’s probably the main reason it hasn’t been touched much as of late. (just my speculation).
As the suite of applications have moved together over time…
there are a lot ways to deal with the workflow weaknesses of the titler.
Multi layered PSD’s and AE templates are what immediately come to mind.
so I’d consider the workflow scope carefully before just jumping into titler.
We pretty much reserve it for simple disclaimer work here.
Everything else is approached differently.
.02 in the bucket…
