How to fix PP CC, Old CS6 Project with AE Linked *.MOV files

[Alex Udell]

hmmmm….

sounds sort of like Media Player is associated with QT in Windows Prefs…and that’s getting in the way of AE…

on you desktop, if you right click a QT file and and choose “open with” from the context menu….

get to the dialog where it let’s u choose the application…

disassociate WMP as the default program to play .mov’s

Is this a new system or an update to WMP or OS where maybe you recently opened WMP for the first time and accidentally clicked thru the dialog boxes that associates WMP with all video media types?

Thanks for taking to time to reply Alex but,…

That’s not the problem 🙁 QT files have always been associated with WMP. And the only upgrade/update on this box was to Adobe CC.
No, the problem is with the Adobe progs and how ‘Project Link’ works within them.

I need to re-associate Premiere with AE through these MOV files via ‘Edit Original’

[Dave Martin]

I tried the whole work-flow from scratch and it still doesn’t work.

Here’s what used to happen:
Premiere
1. Load clips on to Timeline
2. Select (one or more) Clip(s), Right-Click > Replace with After Effects Comp…
3. AE Loads a creates a comp with clip(s)in

After Effect
4. Do your effects/edits
5. Render as a MOV file with “Include Project Link” Ticked
6. [Optional] Save and close AE

Premiere
7. Swap out AE comp on timeline with the newly rendered .MOV file
8. Right-Click MOV file in timline and select “Edit Original”
9. AE Opens and loads the Linked Comp…

Everything works up until step 8, where as now just the MOV file loads in WMP instead of opening the AE project.
Of course if you keep the linked AE comp (Step 7) that still works. But, I don’t want to render these in PP everytime. Having the rendered MOV files is faster!

… A BUG Maybe?

You can also read these entries in the meta-data if you HEX edit an MOV file rendered from AE. The problem is with PPro CC not reading this meta-data.
So, “Edit orginal” should read this XML entry and open up the corresponding AE project.

I’ve subbed a bug report… Hopefully a ‘Fix’ will be out soon.

Thanks for your input duder 🙂

[Alex Udell]

Cool….just wanted to make sure the data was still “there.”
