• 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.

• After Effects very slow on El Capitan when working with network shares?

  Hi all

  After upgrading my machine to work at El Capitan, After Effects is very slow, it is barely usable more. I'm working on a particular project with a few TIFF sequences located on a file server. Of loading TIFF seems to take forever, each image hangs on 'recover the framework' for a while. Saving and loading of the project are also very slow.

  The problem is not the server or the network connection. Same project was pretty quick on 10.10. If I open the TIFF in the Finder, everything is normal. If I open the project in Windows, installed on the same machine, everything is normal.

  Anyone has the same problem, or even a solution to this?

  Thank you

  Hi all

  The solution for us here was to spend our smb share to afp via an OSX Server. Then using go > connect to server... (afp://yourserver.com/yourshare) to connect to the share. After that first and Effects now work as expected again. Sequences, ram, rendered image preview are all back at speed.

  If go back us to a smb share everything slows down again so that it points definitely there for us.

  We are on the last update of CC2015 (13.7.0.124)

  Such a relief to have all this working again. There seems to be a combination of SMBS and El Cap that we were on smb before the upgrade.

  See you soon,.

• How to insert a composition made in After Effects in Dreamweaver and publish on a Web site.

  Hello

  I am brand new to Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe products in general. I have a composition created in the file after effects CC (.aep) and I would like to insert into Dreamweaver CC and then into my Web site. If anyone has some tips on how to do it, I'd be very grateful for the help. I've been struggling with Adobe products for about 6 months and they are really complex and I bought books and read everything I can on the web about this topic and it seems too complex for me to understand. Could someone please help me (layman's terms and descriptions would be great) and I am running Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) and of course Creative Cloud products (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and After Effects, being the simplest, I was using) and it just seems to get more complex, more I 'dig deeper' in them. Pheew! If you have any tips please help me with this and I'll do whatever it takes. It seems fitting that I would need years to master these products. Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Sincerely,

  Ivan Lee

  P.S. I don't know if you can answer me in an email, but just in case here it is... [email protected]

  Nancy is correct: If you want to host your own video, you must export it to several film formats be compatible cross-browser.

  To embed your video, select a video player in this list:

  'Video for everyone' is the only one that requires no javascript code at all, I think. It is also the easiest player to integrate.

• Why "Adobe after effects CC 2014 close unexpectedly" at launch?

  I am currently on a MacPro 2012 OS X 10.9.5 with 2x2.66 GHz 6 - Core Intel Xeon Processor, 24 GB memory DDR3.

  I uninstalled in order to download and install Adobe Cloud Creative suite CS5. I was able to get Photoshop upward and running, but I can't run in After Effects. Whenever I try to open it, I get the message:

  "Adobe after effects CC 2014 quit unexpectedly." So, I uninstalled and tried to re - download and restarting my machine. Same result.

  So, please take a look at my report below and made me know if you see any possible solution to this problem. Thanks for any help possible!

  It turns out that I had to trash preferences found in User/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects. I just trashed the entire folder, emptied garbage and After Effects starts very well.

• Subscriber after effects CC 2014 has the right to grant the previous After Effects free?

  I need to license the After Effects CS5 for professional use, why I need create templates for each type of user of After Effects CS5 for CC.

  I know there is no way for sign Ae CS5 license, then Ae signature that CC will have the freedom to also use the Ae CS5 with the same CC license?

  Or is there a way to allow the Ae CS5?

  There are many versions between After Effects CS5 and the current version according to the CC effects. There are very few users who still use the old After Effects CS5.

  The latest version of After Effects - after effects CC 20141 (13.1) - can open files from After Effects CS5 very well, so you can use the current version to the work of people even on this very old version.

• Well, this laptop can run After effects?

  Hello
  I have acer aspire 5742g laptop computer, i5 480 m (max 2.93 ghz), Geforce 540 m, 6 GB of ram and slow 5400 RPM HARD drive
  After Effects works very slowly if I do something more advanced, so I think its time to upgrade.

  I found it cheap enough to care that it provides

  ASUS N56JR

  Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ processor (6 MB Cache, 2.4 Ghz)

  8 GB memory DDR3 - 1600 MHz

  GeForce GTX 760M 2 GB GDDR5

  1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM (I'll buy ssd later)

  Notebooks & Ultrabooks - N56JR - ASUS

  This laptop will be able to manage after effects well enough?

  It would be better, but you can use a lot more ram. After Effects is a professional application with tons of capacity. More complex the highest project requirements are on the system. If you want to AE to run quickly when you work on very complex projects, and you want to run on a laptop then you need a portable quality professional workstation not a model of consumption. Dell and HP are, Apple made the MacBookPro R that becomes a portable work stations rank when you max out. In other words, buy the laptop more powerful with the most memory you can afford, make sure that the company provides excellent customer service and get a long warranty - or try your luck with a portable consumer grade.

• First CC can make After Effects files

  8 64-bit Windows, card graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (3 GB), 32 GB of RAM, Intel i7 processor

  Earlier today, I was change to a 13-minute film. It has a few After Effects animation stills. Everything was going well until I made a few adjustments for animations in After Effects. BIG MISTAKE. Now, the files don't make first, even if they did last week. The changes were minor. I tried to empty the cache for the Premiere and After Effects, uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. No change. I tried to create a new timeline and import the sequence above, but now one of the files in the panel mounting AE said "Media disconnected" even if I made any changes to it. This ONLY happens with projects containing these AE files. I tried messing around with other projects and the first works very well. I can change the animations in After Effects, fine, but first makes. It freezes or crashes every time. For some reason, he began to spoil once I edited the AE files this morning and I have no idea why because is not the first wave of changes I've done for them. Premiere and After Effects are updated, as it's my graphics card driver.

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  Thank you, Jim and Greg for the help so far. I think that I managed to fix on my own. I worked with 4 animations After Effects at very high resolutions (because the film had to zoom and Pan). I was able to make 3 of them in .avi files, but the 4th was too damaged. After effects has crashed every time, so I recreated the composition of a new still. It worked, and I made this clip in an .avi file as well. After I managed to remove the first Pro After Effects sequence, first stopped crashing. I have imported the .avi files and was able to modify and make it again. I can only assume first was having too much with the original files of AE, either because they were too big, corrupt, or both. Still don't know what happened when I edited the Monday morning, but fortunately I managed to work around it.

• No Audio in after effects CS5.5 (Even after rendering)

  I currently have the Trial Version of After Effects CS5.5 installed. I'm under a bad audio problem. For the first 2 days, that I used it, the sound was fine, he played automatically and I didn't even have to make the first to get it. Then, on the third day I had this day and the audio just hard did not. I have search on the forums and google, and nothing helps. I tried to make (with audio), using clips and different video files and same reinstaling the trial. Nothing has worked. The sound plays fine RAM Preview and when I double click 'L', the soundwaves do not show, and that they are accurate when played on the preview. I tried WMV, AVI files and mp4, which none have worked. I can edit and add effects and import the photo and other files fine, but audio does not work. I have no audio playing normally.

  I know that it is not usual to ask questions about the trial, or even to have the answers, but it's important because I want to buy After Effects CS5.5, and before I do, I need to know whether it was a computer problem, or if I did something to mess up the program, or if there is even a way to solve it. I don't want to buy it and realize that I can not even use it with audio for some reason any.

  P.S. I'm pretty new to this, so if you blows me with complex, very detailed instructions, please try to make it simple enough, or simply explain it well.

  Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience,

  Chris Madaras

  > I have no audio when playing normally.

  You said that the audio played when you used the RAM Preview. It's the way you play audio.

• How do After Effect for the VERY first time?

  I don't have CS4 Premium.  I need to know how to make After Effects but want to do from the very very very low basic how to collect my four videos and make modifications on them as there are has some errors in their. Please what I need very basic, step by step 'how to' so that I can place fading framework between video 1 and video 2 and video 3, video 4. I would appreciate your help big big big future doing professional... :-)

  The things you ask for would do much better in a program like first of video editing. After Effects is not a video editing program. Bringing together videos and their succession change much more than the first.

  After Effects is a compositing and motion graphics program. Composition is when you put things together, like an explosion behind a player or a person on a greenscreen in a new environment. That's what the AE is for. Well, that and it is the #1 tool to create animated graphics.

  If you want to learn AE, this is the best free resource I know: start of After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC)

• after effects cs5 - quicktime h264 of very large file size

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can recommend a codec quicktime good for very small file sizes, for overview makes.

  project in progress - my wmv renders out approximately 10 MB and of reasonable quality that is excellent.

  some of my clients have flip for mac, so I have to make a quicktime.

  the quicktime h264 out much more than expected. same timeline, pixel dimensions and speed = approximately 150 MB and a similar quality.

  I thought that in the past my QT h264 renders were perhaps double the size of my wmv file renders more leap of 15 x.

  am I missing something really obvious?

  pixel size = 1000 x 250,

  frame rate = 30 images/s,

  Timeline = 4 m 30 s

  H264 quality = 50%

  Audio = aac stereo

  using after effects cs5, win7 pro

  Thanks in advance

  s

  the file size is directly related to the baud rate at which you are encoding, not the size of the image or images per second. So, if you want a 10 sec clip to be 15 MB (excluding noise), divide 15 MB at 10 s and get you 1.5 Mbps bit rate, or 12 Mbps. You can get a better quality if you encode 2-pass VBR with a maximum bitrate set to what you calculated previously.

  In any case, it is usually best to make your comp to a losless format (QT none, or TGA sequence, etc.) and then compress your video with Media Encoder. In this way, you can play with the settings for H.264 until you get an acceptable result, without having to make EI every time.

• After Effects can not minimize the very weird problem...

  Hello

  I have a weird problem with after effect, I can't minimize the programm!

  I'll explain what the problem is with the help of these screenshots.

  Information:

  Installed: After effects 9 cs4 version

  Working on one: Windows xp sp3

  

  Well, after effect opens full screen nothing weird on this subject right, so I tried to play it down, but! the following I receive

  

  He is completely better! and I can't move the ore window to resize the window.

  I check with Photoshop and Illustrator, and they are workin very well.

  Please help I can't learn tutorials so it's frustrating with a window of max.

  Please do not make premature conclusions about the problems of bugs. Many times they are not in your specific case, behavior was never reported by someone else, if chances are it's a configuration problem. To me, it seems that the resolution of the screen may not be set correctly, and so AE can not determine what resolutions to maximize minimize not correctly. Screenshots look slightly cropped off the coast on the right side, what could the server to highlight my hypothesis. In addition, there is a mode at AE that hides the title bar and there is even one that disables the menu bar. They are controlled by the Ctrl + a and Ctrl + Shift +------shortcuts normally. If another application "steals", while EI is running, this can cause problems. So, all the rights, look in your graphics card (which you tell us nothing, BTW) and study especially your status bar icons. There may be a quick / quick shortcut somewhere active option. For another thing, we will need more information as what graphics card you are using, which monitor resolutions used so to know if other applications show similar behavior.

• After effects CC running very slow with El Capitan!

  Apple and Adobe, we have to answer you as soon as possible! We need this fixed number like yesterday. Since we have updated to the new os El Capitan after effects, first CC and encoder render times doubled. Our workload is now saved, and we need a quick repair. Help, please

  I found the solution smh... Adobe originally had the Mercury Playback accelerated GPU (OpenCL)-updated rendering engine after having upgraded to the new operating system and Adobe CC the default rendering engine update affects the MERCURY PLAYBACK ENGINE SOFTWARE ONLY. Just change the rendering engine to Mercury Playback accelerated GPU (OpenCL) and bingo your back in the game will thank me later. Peace.

• New version after effects now have a very poor delay with render preview

  Last year only preview rendering After Effects ' seems to have been much worse.

  When I visited a working space, there is a 22 frame delay before the picture becomes visible. Playing audio but the picture is frozen and no shortage on the beginning of the preview.

  You must wait until it passes at the end to watch the start.

  Why is this happening? It was something that worked perfectly for years and now does not work.

  Is there a way to solve this problem on my side or flat?

  OS X 10.10 / 10.9

  AE CC 2014

  It is a known issue with Yosemite on all the versions of AE. Even if you try with CS6, you will still see this problem. If you are using a different operating system, you will not have this problem. It is a problem to Apple; they changed stuff in Yosemite. I'm sure they had their reasons. Until Apple releases a fix (if they ever will be), you're pretty stuck if you can not go back to the Mavericks.

  However, Adobe has a fix in the works. The problem is that the fix is to completely rewrite the code from the heart of EI. According to the people at Adobe, the updated version of the AE with the new preview is supposed to go out to the 'spring '. So everyone on Yosemite will have to argue politely ask Apple to fix the problem or wait until the update of EI. Frustrating, I know.
