1. Re: How to keep files from disappearing when using Dynamic link to AE from PremProCS4?
Mylenium Apr 4, 2010 2:05 AM (in response to KateMorgan)I notice that you only save your AE project after haviung saved and quit in PPro. This might be of relevance, if you rename comps etc. and Premiere still assumes the defualt name. Short of that I can't really tell you anything more. There have been numerous reports of this behavior, but personally on the few occasions when I used DL, I never had such issues. Something is going on on that end, but from the posts I've seen I was never able to figure out a pattern that would explain it.

KateMorgan Apr 4, 2010 6:46 AM (in response to Mylenium)Hi Mylenium, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
Your idea of renaming comps got me to thinking..hmm.
So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
So far I figured it out...
Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
Rename it and save
R click and "Replace with AE composition"
Name new file
You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
Now you can save and close the AE project.
So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
Thanks.
