After Effects use not RAM?

Hello

I just have a question about after effects and use of the ram.

I remember before I installed the Memory Booster app - which allows you to keep track of how much ram, there was a healthy use of RAM there sequelae.

But I noticed today, while making and rendering cache in the background, the free RAM is still available in about 4 GB and I wonder why he does not use this free RAM to help a faster rendering?

This is my current settings of the multi-processing/ram on AE-essentially it is recommended to use up to 6.5 GB of RAM I allocated that I need to make it faster? I was wondering why he is staying stuck at about 3-4GB of RAM free on my system when it could easily be used by AE. I want the AE RAM usage as it is the only program running on my system when I work!Screen Shot 2013-10-25 at 14.56.01.png

Memory Booster to 3.18 GB with tab of a safari open for the Adobe forums, leaving, he climbs up to 4 GB of free RAM

Confused!

Thank you

Not all RAM will be used all the time - not by any software. Sometimes, the RAM is not the constrained resource.

  • After Effects using 5 GB of ram for the preview of a video 12 MB in size without any effect.

    I after effects CC 2015 to date.

    My terms of reference are:

    CPU: i5 6500 3.2 Ghz

    8 GB of RAM: DDR4-2133 MHz RAM

    Storage:256 GB SSD (on which After Effects is installed)

    1 TB HARD DRIVE

    Graphics card: GeForce GTX M 970, 6 GB

    All the drivers are up to date.

    The problem is: I create a new project and import a video in. The video has a full HD resolution and is 12.5 MB in size. First of all, it takes a minute to play the video of RAM so that it begins to play in real time. Then, the video is 30 frames per second, but reading the preview, he plays at 60 frames per second (frame rate is defined as 30 fps in composition settings). I saw the RAM usage in the Task Manager and After Effects using 5 GB of RAM. Then I applied an effect and the CPU usage rose to 100% and it took about 5 minutes to get the applied effect, and after that, After Effects crashed.

    I'm quite new to After Effects, but I'm also a tech geek. I tried to play in the settings but it didn't help. I also searched on google and forums, but to no avail. This problem is essentially what makes the software unusable for me. Please HELP!

    You do not want to edit long movies in AE. After effects is NOT video editing software.  A non-linear editing (NLE) like Premiere Pro is for editing photos to tell a story. AE is for compositing, Visual effects and graphic cartoons. It is for the creation of clichés that you then use in an NLE.

    I suggest to get at least 16 GB of RAM to work with AE, but your system should work as it is. You will need to learn to manage your memory well and to get a glimpse at lower resolutions where possible.

    Now, as to your original question. AE is not simply to play a video stream, as does a NLE. After effects (such as other software based compositing on pixels) with completely decompressed frames. When you put a video compressed in a composition, the size of the original video file has no effect on the size of the images that works with After Effects. After effects unpacks this video and works internally with a full, uncompressed resolution, frames. AE calculates the values of each pixel in each image, comes with a new pixel and then reads these pixels. Who is?

    In fact, since you have so little RAM and the processor is not either, it may be a good idea to convert your video files highly compressed in a good intermediate codec for the shots, that you intend to use in AE. QuickTime with the PNG codec would be a decent choice. This way AE doesn't have to do a ton of work to decompress images behind the scenes until you can even work with him.

  • After Effects uses a lot of RAM

    Im a bit new to after effects, but I know my way around. My problem is that I have a file FRAPS 1.2 GB I want to add some effects, but after he added into the computer and clicking on preview, I get about 15 seconds of good video but after the green bar made just goes. My look at the use of mu ram and 15 seconds on the ram 11FR spell. Why does this happen?

    The file there 720 p and 32 seconds long and 1.2 GB spell, shouldn't the ram so 1.2 GB file? Ram im using is corsair 1600 mhz ddr3 4 gb x 4 revenge. IM also using CS6.

    The FRAPS codec creates a compressed video file.  After decompresses video effects in order to treat and it stores this video in a form uncompressed into RAM for an overview.  That's why your smaller file grows to a large amount of RAM required for previewing.

    After Effects does not play long video stream in real time.  The RAM Preview aims to build segments of a short preview to check your work.  To view the long segments, make a file of the rendering queue.

  • After Effects using only 1% of the RAM

    Dear Adobe,

    Perhaps because it doesn't do anything?   When he starts using 32gigs of RAM to display the 'about' dialog that is at this time, you should start to worry.

    Whenever I try to browse the presets in After Effects using Bridge, a warning notification appears saying bridge to not installed when I installed it well. So I try to uninstall it and then installed it again and it still doesn't work. Help, please.

    Hello

    We published a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2015) on July 19, 2016. This update is available via the Adobe Creative Cloud application.

    We addressed some launch bridge issues experienced on the launch of the After Effects application. Please try the new version and look for problems you encounter.

    If you are not able to locate the bridge (CC 2015) on the creative cloud application, you will need to update the creative cloud application and restart your computer.

  • After Effects do not recognize OpenGL version

    Hello

    I had the most recent Nivida driver [331.82] with the opengl4.3 driver.

    After effects shows that I have OpenGL 2.1.2. [See below the screenshot...]

    Why is this? Does anyone have the same problem?

    My configuration: Windows 7, AfterEffects CC, 16 GB of RAM, GeForceGTX 570,.

    http://walanus.com/share/OpenGL.jpg

    http://walanus.com/share/opengl.jpg

    You are having problems with OpenGL functions?

    After Effects uses the functionality of OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL 1.5. It uses all the features of OpenGL 3.0 or later version.

    On Windows, an application can tell a pilot what OpenGL version to use. After Effects creates just a context OpenGL 2. On Mac OS, this flexibility is not available.

  • What does "after effects error: not enough memory to initialize PSL.» (83:: 8) "mean?

    So, about a week before I did a fresh 64-bit Windows 7 ultimate on a new PC and installation subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud, After Effects CS6 and Photoshop CS6 of Adobe Application Manager installation, then all updates made (and I just checked right now at 22:35 on 26 July, I have the latest version of everything).

    After effects was working at normal, and then later, I tried to import a .psd Photoshop and I got the error message:

    After effects error: not enough memory to initialize the PSL.

    (83: 8)

    Then After Effects crashed. So now he opens normally, but when I try to import a .psd or open an After Effects project registered an earlier version of After Effects (CS3 to CS5) I get the same error and an accident, every time.

    The research forums, I see people talking about this error when you import .psds in CS5, and they say that to get the latest updates solved the problem for them (which obviously cannot help me). I use all legitimate software on a computer brand new with 32 GB of RAM, who has passed all my tests of physical stress, so I know it's not hardware related.

    The only thing that I've seen people suggest is pressed Ctrl-Alt-shift to the launch of the program. When I do this, Windows asks if I want to allow After Effects to make changes to the system, and when I say yes, I can import .psds and open the old AE files. When I close After Effects and reopen it without hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys, it goes immediately to crashing.

    Of course chip-* answer is ' then hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift, dummy "and I'll do it for now, but is there any idea what is the problem?

    I feel like kind of a stupid because I decided to stop using my versions student software Adobe (I was not a student for about four years) and pay the full price for the composition of the cloud and the latest creative suite, and it is full of bugs.

    Hello

    If on the windows machine, make sure that the system temp/tmp environment variables point to % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp, if it's in a different location, you will experience crashes in various programs of Production Premium (bridge, prelude), not able to import a psd in first or AE, photoshop gives a strange on swapfile error as it tries to open it on the root of C :.  You can run individual programs high, although will not work with dynamic link between programs like body/AE.

    It will be useful.

  • Adobe After Effects do not install

    Hi all

    Forgive my ignorance if this has been discussed, but I am running Windows 7, with a processor i7 970 Hexacore, 12 GB of RAM, a GTX 460 (I know that the Mercury playback engine does not support this, for some reason any)... I bought CS5 Production Suite and I'm very psyched on this subject, however, After Effects will not install with the following error code. Can someone help me? (Would be my GPU prevent After Effects install?) I thought that it would simply not be able to use the Mercury playback engine if the card was not supported.)

    Thank you very much

  • After effects error: Preview RAM needs 2 or more images for playback.

    Hey all, I recently had this problem with my Adobe after effects (Version 13.2.0.49) CC. I had this on my previous version and after the update to the latest version of the software, I always get the 'After Effects error: Preview RAM needs 2 or more images for playback' each time I try preview RAM. I also have completely uninstalled and reinstalled AE and attempted to purge the of memory, but I still don't have the same error.


    Another question (not sure whether or not it is related to the error of RAM Preview?), is that when I press the play button, the green bar that is usually created at the playhead appears for 1 frame, then goes immediately after the playhead moves to the next frame.

    Do you mean that After Effects is not using your GPU to accelerate the raytraced render engine even when you check the box?

    Or are you simply ask the AE team to add official support for your GPU for the ray-traced rendering engine?

    If it's the second, nevermind. The AE team has stopped all development on the ray-traced rendering engine. She is considered to be obsolete. They are working on better integration with C4D: Details of CINEMA 4 d with After Effects integration the fact that it comes free with AE is pretty cool.

    However, if this is the first very well; We're going to solve! What number of exact version of AE are you using? (13.0.1? 13.1.0? 13.1.1?) How much time does it take to render when you switch the CPU, and then how much time does it take when you switch GPU with the box checked?
