1. Re: Ae "Dynamic" Workflow – there must be a better way
Fuzzy Barsik Aug 13, 2013 1:41 PM (in response to danzg)First and foremost, setting rendered DI as a proxy to a dynamically linked composition within AE DOES work. But it works in the way it is intended, i.e. all the effects and compositing work etc. etc. are rendered. Nothing more. Dynamic Link is still involved in the scenario. Since PrPro communicates with dynamically linked comps via a single instance of headless AE, it still creates a bottleneck.
Yes, you have to manually replace all your dynamically linked compositions with DIs imported into your PrPro project. However, you don't have to match frames manually: select your dynamically linked composition in the timeline than hold down Alt/Opt key, drag your DI from the Project panel and drop it over the selected dynamically linked composition in the timeline.
By the way, check this feature request thread about After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies in PrPro. If you agree, do not hesitate to file your own copy.
