Hello, I'm an experienced video editor making the switch to Adobe land. I'm very satisfied with Premiere, with two exceptions: support for non-Adobe audio editing tools, specifically ProTools, is frustrating to say the least, and integration with After Effects via Dynamic Link lacks the efficiency I'd hoped for.
My question: are other users frustrted with the render times associated with Premiere projects that have media linked from After Effects via Dynamic Link?
I had a 65-minute sequence in Premiere with only a few layers and very simple transitions. I could render in a timely manner or, better yet, burn to DVD via Encore in a timely manner. From the moment I decided I wanted that 65 minutes on DVD to the time a had a finalized one-off in hand ready for quality check was 28 minutes! I was blown away (and work provides me a pretty zippy computer
). Then it came time to add some graphics: I would dissolve from my running footage to high-resolution Photoshop files with some simple moves, zooms, etc. Just for grins, I decided to do the graphic moves in After Effects and then layer into Premiere va Dynamic Link. In all, my total run time remained 65 minutes but 2 minutes of running footage had been replaced with After Effects graphics. When I went to render or export to DVD, my time jumped from 28 minutes to over 2 hours! What gives? The difference in complexity was marginal, imo.
I'm just baffled that Dynamic Link appears to have slowed down my workflow so dramatically. I need to do some testing when I have some down time and see how long it would take if I did the graphics in Premiere (as everything I did in After Effects was simple enough to be handled directly in Premiere - again, I used After Effects just because I could). I'm hoping that in the mean time somebody else might be able to share their experience sharing media via Dynamic Link - hopefully from After Effects to Premiere similar to my workflow. thanks in advance.
