Offline compositions and Dynamic Link
Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore 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 purposely taken the composition offline.
You’ve opened the project that contains the composition on a system on which Production Premium or Master Collection isn’t installed.
You’re working with a project trimmed by the Adobe Premiere Pro Project Manager. Project Manager does not move the After Effectssource
compositions to the trimmed project folder. Move the composition manually.
Offline compositions appear with an Offline icon
in the Adobe Premiere Pro Project panel. In Encore, the thumbnail preview displays the Offline
icon when an offline asset is selected in the Project 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.
Take a dynamically linked composition offline
If you are experiencing jerky playback, you can take a dynamically linked composition offline. Also, you can share your project without having to
open it on a system with Production Premium or Master Collection installed. You can take a dynamically linked composition offline. When you take
a composition offline, you sever the dynamic link with After Effects. The linked composition is replaced in the Project panel with an offline
composition.
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).
1. In Premiere Pro, select the composition in the Project panel.
2. Choose Project > Make Offline.

In Adobe Premiere Pro, select the composition and choose Project > Link Media. In thedisplayed dialog box, select an After Effects project.
