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.

  • Maximum RAM for the R31

    Can someone tell me what is the maximum RAM for the R31

    Welcome to the forum!

    Could you please send the model number of 7 characters of your R31?

    Theoretically, 1 GB should be maximally to P3M units, but some Celeron machines have a slot already filled, that is why I ask the model number.

    Good luck and let us know.

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

  • ASA 5510 VPN - using a public IP address for the local network

    Hello, I have a problem which is probably very simple, but I can't seem to understand.

    I set up a site IPsec connection to another with a company, something I've done many times before without a problem. I use ASDM to configure this, because it is quick and painless, usually.

    We have one number of other site-to-site currently configured connections and works very well on this ASA, these are configured with the "Protected network - LAN" configured with the IP private of hosts within our network, we want to make available through the separate tunnels. This includes the configuration setting on our ASA for each connection to "guests aside ASA exempt from NAT.

    With this new link, however, the company asked us to use a public IP address for the host that we want to achieve through the tunnel. I don't know why, but they demand it. So I added a NAT rule for inside the host and set up the connection with the public IP address under "Local network". During the test to try to reach a host to their side, the tunnel didn't even try to open.

    What is the method here? I don't see where I'm wrong. I'm guessing that the 'host side ASA exempt from NAT' does not require for this, how if the ASA would know which internal host is the public IP address.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Leo,

    The steps are:

    1. Add the policy rule NAT for the specific host.

    2 - define the IP NAT as your LOCAL NETWORK address in the encryption settings.

    3 make sure that there is no rule NAT exempt for this host to the specific destination.

    What happens if you run a package tracer?

    Thank you.

  • How can I use a video for the preview looks like instead of the fixed image?

    Hi Ali,

    Video preview for looks is not currently supported on Android. Your feature request was noted by the team.

    In the meantime, there is a video on the device you want to use as an overview, I would recommend taking a perforated CAP and still image as loading preview.

  • Aftermath - change slides duration to account for the different lengths of video/image

    HI - as you can tell I'm pretty new to Ae - I use programs like hearing and first every day from work but I've never used after effects. Asked me to create a showreel by using After Effects. Like most "newbies" I headed over to a stock site and downloaded the following model https://videohive.net/item/clean-media-slideshow/15003701

    It all seems simple drag and drop the media in each slide / edit text etc. BUT I noticed that /(comps?) slides appear to be of a fixed length - I was wondering if there is a way to change the "timing" of each of these slides to account for the different lengths of video/still (while keeping synchronized animations)? Any help would be much appreciated - here is a link to what I've done so far Craig Jackson - stuff more After Effects - put... | Facebook

    I know there are tutorials on here and on sites like Lynda - and I started to go through them - but any help would be amazing.

    Kind regards

    Craig.

    I see that it's much better now, thank you.

    Here's the problem with the models. To make them easy to customize, they are awful to customize. I know it's not supposed...

    They have complicated - sometimes more than necessary - which makes them easy to drop your own photos/videos. However, this means that if you REALLY want to change something, it's going to be quite complicated. I only buy templates if I want exactly what the model has. Otherwise, it's actually faster for me to build myself something. I have over a decade of experience with After Effects, so trust me on this, don't mess with the model. Without much more experience, he'll just be frustrating.

    What you can do, is switching to the video full screen. You need not stay in the template all the time. Put your video and images in the template, but there where you want it to be longer, put the beginning and ending in the model. Then, after you have made out of AE, go in first and just cut (or use a transition from light leak any) full screen video for executives, want to be longer. TADA!

  • Windows 7 uses a lot of RAM during the idling

    What happened since I have my laptop. I noticed that my windows 7 uses above 1.55 GB just idling. I mean im doing nothing! For now, he uses a bit little more because I have a few programs that start like SugarSync (cloud storage) and lightscreen (to take multiple screenshots without having to save them manually). Right now these programs use 14 864 (lightscreen) K and 27 192 K (SugarSync). I like the speed, so I have disabled many startup programs in msconfig. This is Adobe reader, Apple Push, Facebook update, Google update, GoogleDrive, Hp Quick Launch, Hp QuickWeb, iTunes, Logitech Download Assistant, SansaDispatch, LaunchBox HP, Skype, steam and Microsoft OneNote. So I have very few programs that I kept. My anti-virus is Kaspersky. The reason why I bring this up is that I need the RAM because I sometimes run a server minecraft and minecraft client with some other programs such as Skype and internet explore (by the way that I went from chome to IE10 because I love the metro look and how it behaves).  The thing that bothers me is that when I look at another computer windows 7 or my computer windows 7 friends they all use approximately 1.2 GB of RAM or less. How is it mine use so much? Is there a way to have Windows 7 use less RAM?

    My specs are:

    Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    6 GB OF RAM

    AMD A8 3520 M APU with graphics card Radeon HD with 1.60 GHz

    I end this laptop a year ago.

    EDIT: Just happened a few minutes after I posted this and it never happened to me before. I was sailing on a new tech Web site when all of a sudden my computer makes a * BOOP * sound. the mouse started trolling then stopped all together. The fan is stronger and stronger and I couldn't do anything about. I had to force reboot and now all seems fine. Any ideas on what this is?

    Hello Nathan,.

    RE: 512 MB VRAM - I have twice this and I repeat what I said earlier, ",""my office has 8 GB of RAM and my video card Radeon HD takes 3348 MB of RAM to lend to my video card that has only 1 GB of VRAM on it. And given your use of Minecraft, I don't have what you are ready to video, but I guess that's a lot. "

    It's the GB.3 my video card is my RAM (System) the loan principal. The same amount which is the difference between your computer and your friends. And you have different programs on your machine, or are they also set up as a server / clients? Each machine is different, there are differences even in models from the same manufacturer.

    The amount of RAM you are talking about 'missing' is low. If you are short on RAM that 3 tenths of a means of GB that much - upgrade your amount of RAM immediately.

    In fact, if you want to compensate for it 3 tenths of a GB of RAM place a 4, 8, 16 or 32 GB flash drive to a free USB port and dedicate it to ReadyBoost see this article for instructions and the performance benefits: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/using-windows-readyboost-to-increase-performance/ . I have a 16 GB key on both my office of 8 GB on my laptop 2 GB. This works.

    Let me know how you fare.

  • How use IMAQ extract Contour VI for the outline of an image of fine-art SEM?

    Hi, I tried to use the IMAQ extract Contour VI to get an outline of the cutting edge of a tool. After processing the SEM image into a binary, it is sent to the extracted IMAQ Contour VI, but it fails to find the outline and send the message "error 1074395732 occurred in the extracted IMAQ Contour-

    Possible reasons: IMAQ Vision: no curves were found in the image. ». I guess that the problem may be the parameters chosen for the extration of the curve of entry. The Vi and the image are attached below.

    Hi Ahryman,

    Please use the Forum of National Instruments.

    IMAQ extract Contour does not work with binary images, but with pictures of U8. You can look that up in the detailed VI help page.

    In your VI, just delete the line and that's all.

    I have attached the image result.
