After Effects really slow with images of Panasonic (but not with images of Canon).  Help?

So I just got a new camera Panasonic DX-1, I love.  But I imported my first clip in legacy and it is really slow.  He Smothers my CPU (new MacBook Pro retina 16 GB of RAM).  I think that is has something to do with the formatting used by my new camera... but I do not know what is the issue.  Thank you!!!

I think the slowness has something to do with the ACVHD, which I think I'm exhib first... which is a codec?

It is a very basic thing you need to learn.  AVCHD is a codec, and MOV is a media container.

Here's a metaphor: think of a container of media - MOV, AVI, MP4, MXF - as a bobbin, able to hold various liquids.  These liquids are the codecs.

Some liquids are good to drink: soda, iced tea.  Some are bad to drink: fuel, battery acid.

If you work on your car, the essence is good.  If you're thirsty, gasoline is bad.

If you work in AE, a lossless - PNG, 444 ProRes, Animation codec - is good; you will not lose image quality and AE can work with them quickly and easily.

But some codecs compress the video signal in a way that is throwing a lot of information about the image or very difficult for AE work with.  AE can slow down a lot to use them, because they do not limit their video compression in a single image - they watch a group of video images and throw the redundant information of video.  If you use these images with any device involving time, AE must keep looking backward & forward to rebuild full video images to do what you tell it to do.  It is not a very efficient use of the capacity of EI, is it?  AE slows down.

AVCHD is one of these bad codecs.  You are doing a job that changes the time.  Export your videos to QuickTime for creation using the PNG Quicktime codec and import them into AE... Look at how AE picks up speed.

    my laptop is really slow with lightroom. How can I speed it up? Help

    I have a Dell Corei7 under windows 7 with 8 GB of Ram. Lightroom using 2530 MB of real memory.

    No solution outside the upgrade of the laptop?

    Make sure that you have not distinguish faces on everything. Next to your name (or logo of Lightroom) in the upper left corner, there is a small triangle. Click on it and make sure that face detection is paused. Also, try turning graphics acceleration card off in the preferences-> help to run. Intuitively he saw wearing tends to slow down a lot of machines.

    That said, don't realize that Lightroom is not a lightweight program and fans running on laptops is quite common if you do a lot of heavy editing, or when export you a large number of images (or generate previews on them)

  • After effects CC 2014 problem: Image of the picture since the last link of the first CC-After effects burned permanently into new compositions of project.

    A picture of one of the clips that I sent to first After Effects by 'replace with After Effects composition' was definitely burned in After Effects and it appears now in each new composition of each new project, I have create as the background for such a composition.

    For example, I sent first, for a clip of a building to After Effects for the correction of the colours with Finesse and stabilization of the string, and then after that rendered finish and close all applications, now everytime I open After Effects for any other project, they are already created or brand new, each existing or newly created composition (in a command Mac N) you see the image of the building as the background of the composition.  If you create a new publication, although it remains empty of all layers, you see the image of the building.  If you have a composition already created with layers, when you turn off all the eyes of the layers, you expect to see black (Nothing) in the composition window (if it is the color you assigned to be like the back of the comp), but instead, you see the building.  If you change the background color of the model in the Composition settings, you still see the building as background.  If you make such empty composition (not layers) return you the image of the building, not black.  I tried to click around and through the preferences and even uninstall the application and reinstall, but it seems to be permanently burned in in the background of each model.

    Please, any ideas of what is happening and how get rid of?

  • After effects WARNING: error with directory?

    Okay so recently I had issues with text layers don't display correctly, and I posted here and found that the solution was to recreate my preferences file. However, since then I get an error when AE starts that says "after effects WARNING: error with directory:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\8.0\MediaIO". Is there a way to fix this without going back to the old preferences file that gave me the original problem?

    AE Error.jpeg

    And what happens if you simply delete the error? The directory itself is not so important, because it takes just presets and caches for Adobe Media Encoder based formats (MPEG-2, WMF, etc.). AE must re - create, if necessary. Before that, check the permissions on the folder as a starting point...

  • 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,.

  • First/After Effects into conflict with the driver Sony SxS

    Hello Adobe community.

    I recently installed the driver Sony SxS on a MacPro with OS of Yosemite. After installing, first would not open (boot image is up but then freezes) and I had to force quit. After that the effects gave me error messages following when I tried to open it:

    After that the effects cannot continue: error when access to the files instead of inside "/ users/wktvsuiteuser/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects / 13.8", if it please check the file permissions and try again.

    After that the effects can't continue: unexpected failure during the application startup

    When I uninstall the SxS driver, Premiere and After Effects open without problem. After a few days later, I reinstalled the SxS driver, Premiere and After Effects are opened very well, but then this morning they stopped again opening. Other CC applications seem to open very well with the installed driver. Someone at - there no indication of the resolution of this conflict? Thank you.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects works well with the merger?

    Hey everybody,

    I'm in the middle of a semester at the University and I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects (Windows version). I was wondering if the merger would work well with these programs? I intend to the latest update of merger next week.

    The mac I use is an iMac in August 2008 (running 10.5.6). 3.06 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800. I also install Windows XP Pro edition and the value of using two processors and 2-3 GB of RAM.

    I will also put it on a new account make sure that practically nothing is running while im current merger.

    I use this for my final college.

    Edit: I forgot to mention. I use CS3. My school has not yet updated in CS4.

    In addition, you think that a 64-bit version of Vista will work best and then 32 bit XP on this partition?

    I love Fusion as much as anyone here and use it a lot. But, in saying that...

    You use this something really important - your final college. You need to perform at its best performance with as few problems as possible because you don't have a lot of time in your semester left (in the grand scheme of things).

    My advice - do not experiment. Work around the merger (as heretical as it may seem on this forum) and first and AfterEffects in a punt in native mode Windows XP OS that is on a BootCamp partition. Video editing will focus on i/o and graphics of your system performance - and nothing works better for this than the native access to the system.

    Running two processors in a virtual merger with computer on a machine with 2 hearts can lead to better performance and is not recommended.

  • Why after effects renders me with audio bad?

    I made almost six times and the result of these makes is that audio offense, when I play it in Windows media audio Don t reproduce and I reproduced a file to this alternative and reproduced it is excellent, the worst is that when I play in VLC or Media Player sound is ok, this isn't the main problem because for me it again one of the programs that it works, I need to make this video with less size or weight, but when I do this deal finally with the audio it s completely damaged. It's never happened before. Please help me.

    I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that when you return leave After effects audio sounds bad, but the audio file that was in your composition sounds not so bad when you play in other applications?

    You're not tell us what looks like your original audio file or what are your rendering in After Effects settings, so we don't have a lot of information that we might need.

    Is the correct sound when you make an AE RAM Preview?

    What is the file format of the audio file?

    What settings do you use to restore EI?

    If your original audio is an MP3 file, try transcoding to a WAV and use in AE. Make an uncompressed file to AE, then use Adobe Media Encoder to make your folder of final delivery. It is in any case the correct workflow. AE should not be used to make your final compressed version.

  • STC 2 K in After Effects and SOUL - it's all good, but how to mark the file FADS like "advertising"?

    Hello

    I need to convert a video FHD STC 2 k. I can get there with After Effects and Media Encoder and export/rendering as STC 2 k. The problem is the film needs the file marked as 'advertising' to be able to run it, and by default, it comes as a "feature".

    I couldn't find a path in the options for editing, in the media or AE encoder. Is there a way to actually change and mark / label as advertising? Or is the only way to make STC 2 k in AE and SOUL?

    Thank you.
