About Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only)In the past, sharing media assets among post-production applications has required you to render your work in one application before importing it into another—an inefficient and time-consuming workflow. If you wanted to make changes in the original application, you had to re render the asset. Multiple rendered versions of an asset consume disk space and can lead to file-management challenges. Adobe Dynamic Link, a feature of Adobe Creative Suite® Production Premium and Master Collection, offers an alternative to this workflow: the ability to create dynamic links between After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Encore®, and Soundbooth®. Creating a dynamic link is as simple as importing any other type of asset, and dynamically linked assets appear with unique icons and label colors to help you identify them. Dynamic links are saved in project, composition, and document files generated by these applications. Changes you make in After Effects to a dynamically linked composition appear immediately in the linked clips in Adobe Premiere Pro, Encore, or Soundbooth. Changes you make to dynamically linked sequences in Adobe Premiere Pro appear immediately in After Effects, Encore, and Soundbooth. You don’t have to render or save changes first. For a video tutorial on Adobe Dynamic Link, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4108_xp. Linking to and from Adobe Premiere ProYou can send selected clips from Adobe Premiere Pro into After Effects as a composition or nested composition, replacing the clips in Adobe Premiere Pro with a dynamically linked composition. Changes made to the composition in After Effects are reflected immediately in Adobe Premiere Pro. With Adobe Dynamic Link, you can also send sequences from Adobe Premiere Pro into Encore for authoring to DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or SWF files. Changes made in Adobe Premiere Pro to dynamically linked sequences appear immediately in Encore.  Other
ways to share content among Production Premium applications include copying
and pasting between After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro,
exporting After Effects projects to Adobe Premiere Pro,
using the Capture In Adobe Premiere Pro command
in After Effects, and importing Adobe Premiere Pro
projects into After Effects. You cannot, however, import
an Adobe Premiere Pro project into After Effects
if the project contains a dynamic link to an After Effects
composition. For more information, see the relevant sections of
each application’s Help documents.Linking to and from After EffectsWhen you dynamically link to an After Effects composition from Adobe Premiere Pro, Encore, or Soundbooth, it appears in the host application’s Project panel. You can use the dynamically linked composition as you would any other asset. When you insert a linked composition into the host application timeline, a linked clip—which is simply a reference to the linked composition in the Project panel—appears in the Timeline panel. After Effects renders the linked composition on a frame‑by‑frame basis during playback in the host application. In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can preview a dynamically linked After Effects composition in the Source Monitor, set In and Out points, add it to a sequence, and use Adobe Premiere Pro tools to edit it. When you add a linked composition that contains both video and audio to a sequence, Adobe Premiere Pro inserts linked video and audio clips in the timeline. You can unlink the video from the audio to edit the clips separately. In Encore, you can use a dynamically linked After Effects composition to create a motion menu, or you can insert it into a timeline and use Adobe Encore tools to edit it. When you add a linked After Effects composition that contains both video and audio to an Encore timeline, Encore inserts separate video and audio clips in the timeline. Outside of Adobe Dynamic Link, you can create After
Effects compositions from Encore menus.Linking to SoundboothIn Soundbooth, you can dynamically link to After Effects compositions and Adobe Premiere Pro sequences. The resulting video previews provide helpful visual references for audio edits. Changes made in After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro are reflected immediately in Soundbooth.
