USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4
Workflows and system setup
Last updated 11/6/2011
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
You can take a dynamically linked composition offline if low system resources are 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
Premium or Master Collection 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.
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.
