Problem with Dynamic Links to AE – Help needed
Hello all,
Iv’e got a problem with Prmiere/AE that I just can’t wrap my head around. I am editing a interview section and a PC has been left on in the background with logos that I have to mask out. I have been doing this by right clicking on the clips I want to edit on the Premiere timeline and selecting “Replace with After Effects composition”. I completed the task at hand but had a few Premiere crashes during the process, the files wouldnt play after these crashes so I saved and did a restart.On opening premiere I discovered that all the video files had been replaced with the most recent AE composition, so the premiere timeline plays the clip over and over at each cut.The strange thing is that all the files in the bin read the correct composition but play the video from the last one, all timecodes are correct and they play through a varying amount depending on the length of the clip.
Yet another anomily is when I try to import and of the AE projects (right click bin>import file) and select a clip it imports the same last clip (not the one selected), but this time in the bin it has the correct name (i.e. the name of the last file). However if you open up a specific clip in AE and THEN import it into premiere the correct clip imports with the correct attributes, however as soon as you close AE or the project within AE the clip turns back into the last clip of the bunch.
I should note that audio is never effected, reguardless of the video.
If anyone can help atall then I would be eternily grateful, this is for a Uni deadline in 4 days and I’m desperate to sort it out, thanks!
