Issue with Adobe Dynamic Link
Hi all,
Another refugee from FCP learning the ropes with PPro…
I’ve just edited a short promo and wanted to do the text in AE so I sent the whole sequence to AE using ‘Replace with After Effects composition’ in ADL.
However, I now realise I should’ve duplicated the sequence before sending it, as I have lost the 3rd party transitions I was using in the PPro sequence.
The PPro timeline is now showing the single block of media sent back from AE, so I was wondering is there a way of getting back the original edit?
Cheers in advance!

Hi Dylan,
You may be able to copy the Premiere sequence from your AE project panel, and paste it back into the Premiere project panel, depending on how it was linked.

AE doesn´t save any premiere transition, so if you want to recover the secuence as in premiere timeline, you could open the last autosaved proyect file, you´ll have all the job done until this last autosave (this file must be in an Autosave folder in the same folder you saved the original proyect).

And to add a suggestion for a “switcher”; when there’s a chance you may want to revisit the original edit after the AFX roundtrip, start out by copy/pasting the timeline clips above themselves, and send THAT to AFX. Disable the originals, and there you go – the originals are saved in place. (Though of course, any serious amount of work in AFX will negate any time savings of reverting to the original clips, but it can help simply to locate a replacement clip that can be brought separately into the AFX project).

Thanks guys, some good advice there.
In the end the promo needed a complete re-edit anyway, so fortunately nothing lost and still a useful learning experience!
Cheers,

Just looking back through the comments, and a VERY important thing to note on the PPro-AFX workflow: when you plan on sending multiple segments from PPro, send the first, save the AFX file, then ALWAYS ALWAYS use the SAME AFX project for any subsequent “send to’s”.
If you create multiple AFX projects (like I first did) then PPro WILL get confused, and your timeline will be firmly bollixed.
