  Premiere CS6 stopped recognising AE composition via Dynamic Link

  Posted by Kieron Moore on October 25, 2018 at 11:08 am

  Hi there,

  I’ve been editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 and sent it to After Effects CS6 via Dynamic Link for grading. At first this worked perfectly and Premiere could see the changes in the AE file as I made them.

  However, yesterday upon opening the PP project, I saw that the AE composition in the timeline had turned to a red ‘Media Offline’ image. I tried to fix this using ‘Link Media’ and by re-importing the AE file, but the Dynamic Link manager isn’t able to find the composition within the AE project. It opens the project and can see folders within it, but not the composition,

  I’ve tried importing an old backup of the AE file, and in this case PP did locate the composition. So it looks like something ha happened to the AE file to make the composition unlocateable by PP.

  Any help you could give would be much appreciated!

  I’m on a Mac OS X 10.11.6, if that’s relevant.

  Not sure if this is possible in CS6 (which was released in 2012!), but in CC, you can drag a comp from the AE project panel into the Premiere project panel, establishing a fresh link.

  Hmm… when I try that, I get the message: “Failed to connect to Adobe After Effects Dynamic Link.”

  (And yeah, I know I’m behind the times!)
