BUG REPORT: Dynamic Linked AE proj uses old render in AME

[Dennis Radeke]

Hi Justin,

Sorry you’re experiencing some problems. Sounds to me like you need to clean your media cache database which is in Preferences>Media (if memory serves). You might also trash your preferences.

Thanks, Dennis. I may or may not have posted in a rage yesterday, forgetting the “never Cow while angry” rule. Anyway, cleaning the media cache worked. I’m pretty nervous this will happen in the future and when I least expect it, though. This sort of thing needs to be rock-solid before I use it in my workflow. If I can’t trust the media cache, I may just have to turn it off.

For simple text changes, you might want to consider using the new Live Templates feature in CC 2014:

And for more than simple text changes, you can STILL use the new Live Templates feature:

Hi Walter,
I’m familiar with those approaches, but it just doesn’t make sense in this case. I created a complete comp and then just needed to resize some text. Should be a simple turnaround thing. In fact–isn’t this what dynamic link was built for?
