After Effects behind with just 14 seconds of clips

Initially, I shot a lot of video with a Canon Vixia HF G30 in AVCHD. When I realized that Mac cannot read this format correctly, I used handbrake to convert them to MP4 using the H.264 codec. I am all videos stored on an external hard drive of 1 TB and dragging into a folder on my desktop when I need them. I imported 2 clips in my composition in After Effects totally 14 seconds of video. I can't do anything in AE. I try to slide the clip in position and moves it to a very small amount and then crashes. I have a MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB of which dedicate themselves to After Effects.

I have worked with After Effects several times but never had that bad of a problem with such a tiny amount of sequences. I think that perhaps it would be too big of a file of suggestions on how to convert it into a smaller file without loss of quality would be very useful. Thank you very much.

I am the preview by pressing the space bar

Ah. Found your problem! You misunderstand how to use After Effects! AE is not a real-time editing application. It is a composer based on pixels. As any composer based on pixels, you must return an overview. And sometimes it can take very long to make depending on your effects. You should not press SPACEBAR to preview. After effects help. Preview

Because you didn't know how to do something as simple as the preview, I'll suggest to take a big step back and start here: starting After Effects

There are probably a TON of useful stuff you need to know that you have missed.

I had staples of 14 seconds that took a lot more than 2 hours to make. You just have to know to set up your scene correctly and how to work with the software. All your problems come from not understanding how the After Effects (or how to work with After Effects).

  • Hotlinks for first and After Effects CS4 with titles

    I created a Rolling title in Premiere Pro CS4.  I would like to create a dynamic link to get back the title in After Effects CS4 to add effects that appear in the first.  I watched a few video tutorials on Dynamic Link and read the documentation and tried a variety of permutations but can't seem to get there.

    Also saw something in these forums about the problems using dynamic links with titles (as opposed to regular pliers?)

    And something about the Premiere and After Effects projects being saved together? in the same folder - is that correct?

    So, could someone explain to me if this is possible and the right way to do it?

    Thank you

    First titles are usually not supported æ as separate entities, since they do not exist as such. Only the titles added to a timeline of the Organization will be present themselves, but can renderings and merged with the background. So, essentially, that it is not the best of ideas to create even titles in first in such a scenario - you can only end up seeing a ton of solids in the placeholder or a completely black canvas. If this is the case, make the titles to separate TIFF or PSD with adequate transparency. And Yes, the projects must be saved in the same location relative to avoid lack of sequences and make mistakes...

  • What is after effects work with my GTX 680 cs6?

    Hello, I have a GTX 680, but After Effects doen´t see it. I can´t use the CUDAS 1500 + to render!

    It s a great graphics card but for software issues I can´t use it!

    There will be an upgrade in after using it? (hope Don t be in one year on the release of Cs6.5!)

    Thank you and greetings from La Argentina

  • Adjust the text back in after effects CC with a script .jsx

    Is it possible to adjust the indents of text with scripts?  Specifically, I'm changing "margin left indent" and "first line indent" from a script.  I know that I can reset the paragraph styles (which defines the dashes to zero) with resetParagraphStyle(), but I'm trying to set the specified values.

    Thank you

    As far as I know, script doesn't have access to the dashes.

  • After Effects CS4 with Premiere Pro CC

    I have recently (1 hour ago) installed first Pro CC to work on some projects I have. I could open the old PP cs4 file very well, but I can't seem to link the AE cs4 files. I have not upgraded AE. Is that going to be a problem?

  • Yes, there is a Mac OS that actually works with After Effects?

    I have been creative Member Cloud for 7 months now.  I appreciate the service for my Photo shop and needs hearing.  However, I was unable to access After Effects.  It was a major setback for an important project.  I complain at the beginning because, while I was running OS 10.6.8 and it's a bit outdate.  Today, I FINALLY took the day to back up files, visit the Apple Store and turn me on with Maverick, the latest operating system.  Finally, don't you?  Fake!  I downloaded and installed After Effects, but when I went to open it, I got the same message.

    "You can't use this version of the application"Adobe after effects CC"with this version of Mac OS X."

    Really, Adobe?  Is someone can you please tell me what it takes to run this software?  As far as I understand, you really cannot go backwards when it comes to OS installs.  I have made a mistake here?  Or is the reality that Adobe After Effects will be forever on this next dune.

    Help a brother.

    As others say, just install the updates:

  • Set up after effects CS 6 for rendering in a network with only one license.

    I searched on and off a few days to find specific installation instructions for submitting projects for the network rendering but all I can find refers to installation somehow AE on several machines in non-licence mode and, essentially, to present a 'batch' type work to be distributed, sync'd and collected. OK, I get this. But I can't find anything on the details of the installation on several machines.

    So if I understand things at this point, the question is really how to install several copies of the AE6 to systems with only a single license? I have a license key single with a 6 Suite Premium CS and wait that I would not be able to cross activation after installation or have afraid to try for fear that Adobe thinks I'm trying to dodge the licenses.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    > afraid to try for fear that Adobe thinks I'm trying to dodge the licenses

    Do not be afraid. Do it. There is no risk in trying to install the software on as many machines as you want. Even in cases where you have only a license to use our software on two machines, the worst thing that happens is said you to disable on a computer before turning on another.
