Dynamic Link CS6 little issue at DVinfo.net

Kelly Huffaker · August 13th, 2012, 12:10 PM

So I am using CS6 with the latest updates and I was applying some VideoCopilot "Twitch" effects onto a clip from PPCS6 (Right clicking the clip and Replacing with After Effect composition) Normally, when I apply the After Effects treatment, then ALT-TAB over to Premiere the effect takes place within a couple of seconds. What happens when that doesn't happen and the effect never gets updated? Is it just a minor bug or is there a "refresh" button that I am not aware of??

Kelly...

Are you saving the After Effects project before you tab over to PPro?
When AE gets loaded up, it isn't linked to your PPro session, until you've actually saved it as an .aep.

After that, the linking should work.

Yeah Im saving it before I tab over to Premiere. I googled more of the problem and it appears to be a bug of some sort. It doesnt happen all the time. When it does however, i do find that the only fix is to exit out of both programs and reopen it which I can then see the revised effects in the link.
