Hi, everyone,
Sorry for the long title, but I like post-subjects to be as specific as possible so that for the future it might be easier for people to google that same problem I'm having right now. Thus everything has basically already been said in the title:
I have relatively large Premiere (Production Premium CS6, with full dynamic link support) project for my circumstances, a 12 minute-long short feature I'm editing right now, and made extensive use of dynamic linking in one sequence especially. As advises by Adobe go, it's best not to create several After Effects Projects for one Premiere Project's dynamic links but to keep all dynamic links in one AEP, aswell. So I did, because Premiere DID make some problems when I did otherwise.
Now it's working very well, with one major setback, though: Whenever my timeline in Premiere is nice and rendered and I switch to After Effects via the "Edit Original" selection on a Dynamic Link Composition in the timeline, it starts to re-conform all dynamic link comps in the project and of course as a result I also have to re-render all of them which ends up in almost one hour of unneccessary rendering. I've already created proxies for some of the compositions in After Effects, something that accellerated rendering greatly (and which I'd advice anybody to do when he/she is more or less satisfied with the composition). But, alas, that still doesn't stop premiere from changing ALL dynimic links to 'unrendered' after the slightest change in one composition. While meant to be a shortcut, dynamic link suddenly feels like a giant detour undermining the whole purpose dynamic linking had in the first place. I just want the other compositions to be unaffected when I change but one composition in the big AE project that houses all of them. The problem escalates when i put all my scenes / sequences into one output master sequence. Thus, changing one little thing in one little DynLnk-Clip screws my whole timeline from start to finish, a timeline that has been rendering for 4 hours. That is because every scene has one or two DynLnk-Clips.
My figurative peg leg tells me this might be the kind of problem for which there exists an easy solution, that I haven't encountered, yet. Do you guys know how to deal with that?
Greetings,
Matt
No easy solution for this?
