changes.
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.
About offline compositions and Adobe Dynamic Link (Adobe Production Studio only)
Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore DVD display dynamically linked compositions as offline in any of the
following circumstances:
•
You've renamed, moved, or deleted the After Effects project that contains the composition.
•
You've purposefully taken the composition offline.
•
You've opened the project that contains the composition on a system on which the Adobe Production Studio isn't
installed.
Offline compositions appear with an Offline icon
panel. If you're working with an offline composition, you can relink it to the original After Effects composition. You
can also choose to relink a linked composition to a different source composition.
To take a dynamically linked composition offline (Adobe Production Studio only)
You can take a dynamically linked composition offline if system resources are low, preventing you from smoothly
playing back or previewing, or if you want to share your project without having to open it on a system with
Production Studio installed. When you take a composition offline, you sever the dynamic link with After Effects,
and the linked composition is replaced in the Project panel with an offline composition.
In Adobe Encore DVD, you take a composition offline by transcoding it (transcoding is the process by which Adobe
Encore DVD converts non-DVD compliant files to the DVD-compliant files that are burned to disc).
❖
Select the composition in the Project panel and do one of the following:
•
In Adobe Premiere Pro, choose Project > Make Offline.
•
In Adobe Encore DVD, choose File > Transcode Now.
You can temporarily suppress a linked clip in Adobe Premiere Pro by selecting the clip and choosing Clip > Enable.
To relink the clip, choose Clip > Enable again (a check mark next to the command indicates that the clip is enabled).
For more information about disabling clips, see Adobe Premiere Pro Help.
To relink a dynamically linked composition (Adobe Production Studio only)
