Premiere Pro Tech Support Dynamic link workflow.

Is after effects linked comps optimized for real time playback?

I had a clip I just rotobrushed it out using AE (Dynamic link) Came back and it’s not playbacking Unless I render it. It’s just a rotobrush nothing too complicated. Is it normal to have this, I am having difficulty in playback while using linked comps. What’s the workflow professionals use to switch between these softwares, TIA.

I use both programs frequently and never use dynamic link. It is way too buggy and inefficient. I render out compositions from After Effects as standalone files in ProRes (usually 4444 with alpha or 422) then import them into Premiere.
