After effect & encode: OpenCL vs Metal

Hey there, I just installed the updated 2015.3. However, my question is what the engine Mercury Playback is better to use on MacOS, OpenCL or metal? I saw the option and I was wondering if metal gives better performance and faster export times? Can someone enlighten me?

I noticed that mercury OpenCL worked better than 'software only' or metallic mercury. Metal was ok, but the OpenCL seems to be faster in the rendering and previews... I'm running on an iMac 2015 27 "5 k AE 2017 retina with AMD Radeon R295x 4 gb VRAM, 32 GB of RAM, 4.0 GHz quad core, the merger of 3 TB hard drive. I had problems with the update AE15.3 because it would use my GPU for rendering ray-tracing yet, it was still grayed out even if I got the updated drivers installed... but good Cuda? It works fast, once again, so Im happy! Laughing out loud

  • First & encode: OpenCL vs Metal

    Hey there, I just installed the updated 2015.3. However, my question is what the engine Mercury Playback is better to use on MacOS, OpenCL or metal? I saw the option and I was wondering if metal gives better performance and faster export times? Can someone enlighten me?

    Well, I have some preliminary results of it. It seems that use OpenCL is still better.

    I have been using one of the trash Mac Pro (model identifier: MacPro6, 1) with 2 GB of graphics memory, 16 GB of RAM and a 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 to 3.5 GhZ clock and speed for an hour of video of final product, it took ten hours encoder to export using metal. OpenCL would have done much faster. Also, I noticed that if I put my project settings to use metal on OpenCL, then I noticed that it forces me to visit more often (red line) that if I use OpenCL which normally does not make me almost at all (yellow line).

    So in conclusion, I think that OpenCL is always the rendering engine of choice for me. I hope that it is useful and helpful to you all!

    See you soon,.

  • Can I change media After Effects encoder?

    Hello

    Recently I signed up for the monthly £17,15, who gave me of Premiere Pro and an additional desktop application. I chose media encoder, but wish now that I had opted for something like After Effects.

    Is it possible to go back on your decision?

    Thank you.

  • After effects &amp; encode will not export

    Hello

    I have a 10 second Visual effects short file that was created in Adobe After Effects.

    It previously implemented perfectly well, repeatedly. Now, for some reason, it gets stuck on the same image every time and it breaks down just the application. I have to force quit to close.

    He did this on Mac and Windows, to the exact same frame.

    I also tried to use Adobe Media Encoder, and he stopped in the same place. Now the remaining time is increasing.

    What is the problem?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    Nothing special or unique about this "framework"?

    What is this source file?

    Visual file of 10 second effects

    You have the original project AEFX file?

  • I can work on after effects being coded by best practices and Media Encoder file

    I just found out that after effects files can be returned outside the program using the media encoder.  I had been made in after effects of .mov, then open the file in photoshop to render the .mov to a mp4.  Not the process faster, but it worked.  If I use media encoder to make my legacy model would still be able to work in AfterEffects and edit and save the file rendered in media encoding, or it is locked?  I hear also the media encoder is slower than the after effects encoder.  What are the best practices for a comp sequelae which makes a mp4 (h264)?  Thank you...

    Depending on what you do the SOUL can be slower than using index rendering, but that's the only thing that you must use to make H.264 files.

    When you send a model to the SOUL a virtual copy of this composition that is the source for this rendering. You can continue to work on the same computer and additional changes but if you want these changes appears you will need to send this model to the SOUL again after making the changes.

    Almost without exception, I'm working on plans not and certainly never movies sequences in After Effects. My average computer is probably seven seconds, my average film is probably 30 minutes so I use AE to work on plans for effects which cannot be treated in my NLE. I almost always send a model to the SOUL to render a h.264 or a suitable production master, or both, and then I continue working in AE because I can't afford to wait for a rendering time. On almost all of it is the more efficient workflow.

  • Lack codec h264 in after effect CC (2015)

    Hello.

    Miss me the h264 codec in after effect CC (2015). the problem persists for about a year. I have this codec in first pro, but not after the effect. What can I do?

    After effects encodes is more directly in H.264 (he didn't do a great job of it in the past). You can return an intermediate codec to EI or send your AE comp directly to Adobe Media Encoder.

    I almost always rendering directly to EI. This is because AE CC 2014 multiprocessing. So, I'll work in 2015 CC to enjoy snappier interface and open the project file in CC 2014 to make with multiprocessing (as my system can use this feature very well in most of the projects).

    Here's the Adobe blog about uninstalling: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2 and WMV videos get out of After Effects

    If you talk to a lot of Veterans around here, they will say that the AE h.264 encoder was buggy and did not do a good job. They call deletion "good riddance." The AE team is small enough, so put their resources to improve the work of EI to VFX compositing and motion graphics, and leave the team work Adobe Media Encoder encoding of things seems logical.

  • After effects CC / CC encoder Media rendering bug after the last update version 13.8.0.144 / 2015.3

    Hello community,

    After the last update CC, I have a big problem. There is a problem of sound reproduction of the AE through the Media Encoder. When I export directly from AE everthing is fine but when I send the export files via dynamic links to the Media Encoder I get wrong its encoded at the last second of the clip. Curiosly there is a part of the track to another point on the same track in there. There is a sharp break and then in the last second you can hear just a random sound fragment (in this case a femal voice). It's hard to describe. Here's a link wetransfer where you can hear what I'm talking about.

  • After Effects to Media Encoder does not queuing video

    Media Encoder isn't queue my video when I try to make the video using After Effects.

    This is! You have the wrong version.

    You get AE version 13.8 (AKA CC 2015.3), which is basically CC 2016.

    Or use the older version of Adobe Media Encoder.

  • After Effects on a different machine than Media Encoder, is this possible?

    Hello!

    Is it possible to have Media Encoder works on a different machine than After Effects? My team needs a machine just to make out/export projects AE. We don't have only one machine to run both, but we want to run them separately. Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi EbatalhaSPTV,

    Yes, Media Encoder is a separate application listed in the list of creative cloud apps, you can download it separately.

    Use the following link to download and install Media Encoder: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/media-encoder?promoid=KSPDR

  • After effects CC problems encoding (tilted the view and doubled the by-Side sequence)

    Although starting at the Adobe Creative Cloud space, there is some awareness of the main functions of the system, as well as a few additional details. However, a problem occurred on the encoding and export project Adobe after effects (AE) to Adobe Media Encoder (SOUL) such as the 2D plane (or rather the version preview in AE is flat and not transformed) becomes 3D so that the sequence becomes tilted and lined with a line between clips of same in preview rendering within the SOUL. The system currently used is a MacBook Air, and the Adobe programs were recently installed from 2016. Such a question has never become eminent or circumstantial to anyone on the forum? If there are other details, please ask by responding to this post. Thank you for your time and effort!

  • When will be after effects use metal.

    What ae will use the metal?

    I will try to clarify:

    What David showed the scene of Apple has been a demonstration of the possibility that the metal was for After Effects, as well as other Adobe creative applications. In his role as leader of our R & D group, it committed us to continue execution in general and specifically with the metal on the Mac platform. But is not a statement of specific timing of when these features will be available publicly, nor is it a promise on exactly this that parts of the application that will take advantage of this technology when that day comes.

    My statements here were intended to avoid misunderstandings that there is a specific commitment in the short term to identify the characteristics of this nature in a specific version of After Effects.

    I apologize for the confusion.

  • After effect export media encoder optimization

    Bonjourn I have recently developed an After effect (12.2.1.5 worm) and encoder media exporter in h264 1080p25 (ver. 7.2.2.29) under. It took me about 1:30. Unfortunately, when viewing my record, I make a spelling mistakes in my titles... Anyway, I of the correct the word in question, but this make me a redo a rendering from 1 h 30 pour image of some on a single word changed this (a hundred image). There's a you it a solution pour speed rendering? Redo a rendering on images which have changed? Castro can save a lot of time!

    No, there is no such thing. He must live with his rendering time.
