Composited Clip Displays Incorrectly

[Jon Barrie]

It just looks like you’ve moved the clip to the side, have you done anything to the actual composition that has been put in PPro?

You can select the AEP DynLink clip and Go to Edit>Edit Original to see what has been done to that actual composition.

Let us know.

Sorry for not being more clear. The clips look fine in AE.

Thanks,

Bueller?

I modified the stabilization in an affected clip in AE so it would update the PPro composite and still it looks fine in AE but not in PPro. I will next remove the stabilizing and see what happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Did you use the “Replace with AE Comp” function from within PPro?

You may just need to re-import the Dynamic Link to PPro and replace it on the timeline.

I have used this feature a couple of times and it has worked as expected.

Let us know if reimporting it gets it back on track via:
File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition…

Yes, I believe I did try that. What seems to have worked is odd. In AE I selected the first clip that exhibited the bad behavior. I removed all the effects (Finesse & stabilize) and that did not change the framing issue in PPro but the effects removal did appear in PPro. So I could mess around and revert, I saved the AE project. I then selected the hand tool and started moving the vid left and right relative to the center point. No movement would fill the frame in PPro. When I had the vid moved to the left in AE I could get it centered in PPro but it looked like 4:3 in a 16:9 frame and the church was seen at the left and right. So back in AE I put the vid back to the center, hit a button that I thought would center it (not sure what I hit, will look if my export ever finishes). No change in PPro so I did a revert just to be sure it was back in place. Strange as it may seem, after the revert the vid in that clip looks correct in PPro. In addition, all the other clips with the issue are ok now as well. I suppose the revert must have caused something to be rewritten. Redid the Finesse and stabilze, did some additional work and am now waiting on the PPro sequence to encode and upload to CSReview.

I sincerely hope none of us have this happen again!

Thanks for the reply,
