I did see your video. and you were importing the PPro project into AE. For what you are wanting to do (have it in PPro and update when you make changes) you have been using Dynamic Link wrong.

You need to work with the actual video clip not the project in AE.

I wrote down the process in previous response but here it is again.

In PPro:
Go to clip in the timeline.
Right Click.
Select “Replace with After Effects Composition”
It will open AE for you. Continue the process with AE.
Go back to PPro and look at the timeline where the clip was, there is now a Dynamic Link to the AE composition.
Go back to AE
Add an effect to the clip in the composition (hue saturation and drag the saturation down to -100) so the clip is now Black and White.
Go back to PPro
See the clip is now Black and White
Go back to AE
Remove the Hue Saturation effect (delete it)
Go back to PPro
See the clip is now Coloured again.
The link is working properly by sending the clip to AE instead of opening the PPro Project file in AE.
Check the Interpret footage in AE as discussed in previous email.
Do the Keying you want with Keylight
It should update properly now.
If you are still seeing the interlacing issues now that you are using the actual video clip in AE and not a link to the project let me know and supply all the information from the properties of the clip.

Hamid did you send the clip to AE instead of opening the project in AE?

The interlacing issue is usually solved in AE when you add video into a project it automatically assess if it’s interlaced and deinterlaces it for you.

You can check by selecting the clip in AE project panel and right click, select the ‘Interpret Footage’>Main…
look at the ‘fields and pulldown’ settings
is ‘separate fields’ is set to Lower field or Upper Field then it’s deinterlaced the footage for you. Look at the footage at 100% and find a frame where there is some action to see if the interlacing is occuring.

If the settings in ‘field pulldown’ are set to off, change it to Lower Field for DV footage. tick the preserve edges box.

Kyle,
DV is just a digital Standard Definition signal from DV tape to DV media of which no quality is lost in the capture process from DV.
It is possible that your computer screen is brighter and larger pixel resolution than that of the TV you have watch via the cables in turn revealing all the imperfections of DV which is natively a compressed format.
Which camera are you shooting on?
What kind of After Effects rendering are intending on doing? (more detail please).

Mate, start a new topic. There is a way to workaround your situation. It’s important you have your own topic so the solution/s are easier to find for others in the future.

What’s happened here is the footage you used in After Effects has lost its connection. The name of the file it’s lost connection with is in the top left of the frame. Your image looks to be a Premiere Pro project file.
Dynamic Link, as awesome as it is, can’t actually link a Premiere Project into After Effects and then also be Dynamic Linked anywhere else (Back to Premiere Pro or Encore). It’s a one process function.

Sadly, this means that by losing the connection you are un-able to simply reopen the After Effects Project and have everything found and open properly.

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Delete the Dynamic Link file from the Premiere Pro Project.
2. Save and Close Premiere Pro.
3. Reconnect the footage in the After Effects Project:
– In the Project Panel select the clip that is missing (has italic name) right click on it and select “replace footage> file…” (Ctrl+H PC, Cmd+H Mac).
4. Navigate to the file you originally had connected to.
5. You need to render a Premiere Pro Project timeline and import the export to Premiere Pro.

The reason you need to delete the After Effects Dynamic link from Premiere Pro is that it will lose all the connections again with the attempt to Dynamic link a Dynamic link – and you’ll have the same problem.

If you are trying to work with Dynamic link on a specific shot (Keying) you can send just that shot to After Effects as a Dynamic link and the problem won’t occur. Select the shot/s you want to send to After Effects, right click them and select “Replace with After Effects Composition”.

LF is just that the low frequencies of audio run through the sub-woofer. are you sure that your test track is actually below the frequency of the speakers so it only comes from the sub? If the frequency is ranging too high the sub-woofer can’t do it all and it will be spilled into other speakers. Push the position of the LF track to the front speakers so that it doesn’t bleed into all of them, avoiding the rear speakers.
Let me know how that works.
LF is usually part of a MIX and listeners don’t really notice that there is something that’s supposed to be LF, but coming from the speakers.

Hi Mikkel,
I’m shocked no-one has given you the right info yet. So here goes.
PPro has always been able to timecode alterations.

What you need to do is select the clip in the project panel and then select File>Timecode… you can type in your start timecode there.

You can also open the clip from the project panel or match frame a clip from the timeline and go to File>Timecode… you can set the new TC from beginning or current frame.

The ‘Set at Current frame’ will probably help you more:
Select the clip in the timeline that matches the frame from the reference clip (clients clip) so you have matching vision.

Take note of the timecode from the reference clip (clients).

Make sure the track for the clip you want to alter is highlighted.

Hit the M key to do a match clip frame from source in the the source frame.

Go to File>Timecode… Select the ‘set at current frame’ option and then type in the reference clip timecode.

press OK.

Done.

Now all instances of this clip in any timeline have the adjusted TC you input.

Repeat with all the clips that have to be altered. It’s not such an arduous task once you’ve done it a couple times.

To check the actual timecode of the clips (media) now match add the ‘timecode’ effect to the clip/s in the timeline.

Open the Effect Control Panel and twirl down the settings for the timecode effect. Change the timecode source from clip to media.

Whallah!
