Modify a dynamically linked composition in After Effects (Production Premium or Master Collection only)

Use the Edit Original command in Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to modify a linked After Effects composition. Once After Effects is open, you can make changes without having to use the Edit Original command again.

  1. Select the After Effects composition in the Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore Project panel, or choose a linked clip in the Timeline, and choose Edit > Edit Original.
  2. Make changes in After Effects, and then switch back to Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore to view your changes.

The changes made in After Effects will appear in Adobe Premiere Pro, but any preview files Adobe Premiere Pro may have rendered for the clip prior to the changes will be invalidated.

Note: If you change the name of the composition in After Effects after you’ve created a dynamic link to it from Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro doesn’t update the linked composition name in the Project panel, but retains the dynamic link.
