CS4 Dynamic Link won’t render preview
Hi!
I tested this on two different computers:
I use Dynamic link to replace footage with an after effects composition, then go to AE and put some affects on the clip, save and return to Premiere. I can’t preview the comp in Premiere, because Premiere CS4 won’t render the timeline for that part! It just shows a green render line instead of a red one! Premiere has not the slightest chance to play the effect-intensive footage from AE without rendering it first, but it wont even try! I just tries to start playing it right the way when I hit enter! Is this the way it’s supposed to work??

Just a slight bit of levity: Boy they take that “no intermediate rendering” thing pretty seriously…they won’t even LET you render.
Sorry..wish I could help….I don’t have CS4 yet…

To render a AE comp or anything that has a yellow or green bar you need to set the work area around it and goto Sequence>Render work area.
Hitting Enter Key only renders something with effects that make the bar completely red.

Ah, thank you Jon that was it!
This used to work differently in CS3, because in CS3 I always got the red bar for an dynamically linked AE comp in Premiere. I guess I just have to get used to the idea that hitting enter won’t render the ae comps anymore. Good to know that it’s not a bug though. Thank you again for your response!

I ended up assigning a shortcut for this function. I use it quite a bit with HD outputs.

Hi….
Maybe I’m not understanding….
If an AE comp won’t play back…shouldn’t it have a red bar?
What’s yellow?
IS there a quick way to mark a clip with the work area?
Or is it still navigate and Ctrl + [ ] ?

Premiere basically offers more rendering options.
No color means native footage, no need to render (actually you can’t)
Yellow means that it’s not rendered, but that it probably won’t need to be in order to play in realtime.
Red means it will need rendering to playback in realtime.
Effects also appear in red.
So by simply hitting enter, you would simply render the effects and the parts that are non-native to the timeline, instead of rendering the entire work area; a big time saver.

Seems like things have changed a bit since CS3. Replacing a clip in Pr with an Ae comp gives a yellow render bar which won’t render simply by hitting enter.
I don’t know if there is a better way to mark a clip with the work area bar. I myself assigned b and n keys to mark the beginning and the end so that Pr works like Ae.

The default is actually “Alt” +[ ], but yeah go into the Keyboard and make it what you want.

By the way rendering anything using the dynamic link in Premiere from AE takes dreadfully long. Is it used to just see how it looks by scrubbing?

Maybe this question doesn’t belong to this thread, but I’m in a bit of a hurry…
I’m trying to render a sequence in Premiere Pro CS4, as I have done so many times in the past, also in CS4. But when I hit enter, I only get the rendering window and nothing else happens, it progress up to .01% and if I tried to cancel I always have to end up force quitting the program. I know that nothing is happening because the activity on my processors does not increase.
I have a suspicion regarding some subtitles that I’m using, since the last time this happened to me I could isolate the issue to some bars and tone elements that I created within Premiere, it seems that it has issues when stuff created within the program.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I’m under a deadline here.
Best,
D.
