I know dynamic link supports cross dissolve. It doesn’t support all kinds of dissolves. The livedocs dynamic link readme lists all the things that work or not. This is for ctrl + v pasting btw.

Transitions are not fully supported when copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro and importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects. Copying and pasting and importing a project do not use Dynamic Link, though. Dynamic Link is an entirely different and newer set of functionality. Transitions should be transferred when using Dynamic Link. That’s why I asked exactly what steps were taken. I know that sometimes people say that they’re using “Dynamic Link” when they’re actually just using one of the older ways of moving data between After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Todd,
When I take a PPro sequence, select all clips, go to File>DynamicLink>Replace With After Effects Comp it sends complete sequence perfectly to AE except that the simple cross dissolves are gone.

When I use Dynamic Link from After Effects, File>Import PPro sequence I get the complete sequence as one layer in AE WITH dissolves, but individual clips are merged. This would work for what I need to do but would love to have best of both when I get into AE, individual clips and dissolves already added in Premiere.

Tried this with simple DV clips (4) in a sequence to test workflow. This is going to be a great solution for a spectacular wide-screen presentation I am in development on. 50x12foot screen, 3 projector show. (not using DV for that!!)

I have installed all updates. Using Master Collection Suite. Not feeling like a “Master” with this simple problem.

You never get hurt in the air!

Correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t see you try select all and paste ctrl + v. That enables individual track editing.

Chris,
I will give that a try after a Blu-ray render is over. That would not involve “dynamic link” at all then, just copy-and-paste between programs, correct? If it works, I don’t care, just want to bring all things done in PPro into the AE comp.

Thanks, I’ll let you know. “render, render, churn, churn….”
