After making Effects CS5 with 48 cores and 96 GB of RAM

My company is trying to set up some new machines for our render farm. Currently, we see a system with 4 12-core CPU and 96 GB of RAM. Theoretically, this would mean that After Effects would make 48 images at the same time, but I've never heard of someone AE running on this number of cores. Someone saw on whether or not it would work well?


TYAN S8812WGM3NR Quad Socket Motherboard, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4 GB 240 pin DDR3 1333 (x 24), processor AMD Opteron 6172 Magny - course 2.1 GHz 12-Core (x 4), Adobe Creative Suite 5

Here's what one of the After Effects testers said when I showed him this thread:

«Works on 8 background process does not show a substantial gain based on tests on [our beastly machine].» In some cases, it was a little slower with > 8 background processor for simultaneous rendering of several images of multiprocessing. Given the size of small size that they are rendered and the degradation of performance running too many carrots, I think that their proposal would be overkill, unless they also use other memory-hungry apps on it.

I think that they would get for their dollar better performance with a basic machine 24 or 32 GB 8-12, definition of the background processor to 3 GB allowance. Spend the extra bucks on processor speed + speed of the bus with fast disks.

    Hi people, I'm new to the forum. I have a big problem with After Effects CS5. After the program has been open for some time, when I try to save, the program blocks (the first recorded little perfectly fine, if not a little slowly). I can not even close with CTRL + ALT + DELETE, I have to restart my computer. I work on a PC with a processor Intel Core i7 with 24 GB of memory RAM. Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I hope someone can help. After Effects is a big part of how I earn a living and this is killing me! Thanks a lot for any help in advance

  • After trying to synchronize with my laptop and failure, I've restored files from a backup and make me "this connection is Untrusted" I have not found a solution.

    I uninstalled Firefox 40, deleted the profiles folder, reinstalled Firefox, restored Firefox 40 and profiles from a backup and I still get this message. I even downgraded to a previous version and restored the profiles for this version and still this nasty error pops up on everything I try to do. I can't find any info on where are stored other files of files I'm not restore or change which still linger. I've never seen anything like this. That's after spending 3 weeks completely updated and change Firefox according to my needs and dumping Chrome, that's what I get. It seems I have to go back to chrome that I need a browser that works. I tried everything I can find this issue nothing works. I am really upset over this especially after that spent all the time from Chrome to Firefox. I really need an answer or I'll have to remove Firefox and return to Chrome, as much as I hate to do this. It still works!
    Someone has an answer for this? Is their draw at Mozilla to help with this? Help!

    Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

    Another possible reason for "sec_error_untrusted_issuer" If Firefox is not configured to trust your security software, such as Avast, BitDefender, ESET or Kaspersky. If you use one of these popular products, reinstall your product can take care of the problem, or some manual adjustments may be necessary. If you use one of these, please mention which for more specific suggestions.

  • HP Scan does not work after last update Mac with the Mavericks and HP software was last updated

    Hi, I have a printer D110a and I recently installed Mac OS X Mavericks. After you have installed the Mavericks, I gave my Mac a printer HP Software Update. Now, when I go to the HP scanning application, I get a message that reads: is missing or damaged software one or more components required by HP Scan is missing or damaged. Please reinstall the software for your HP device. What should I do?

    Hi groberts619,

    Unfortunately the software, you get the update of the printer software does not include the application of scanning HP - only print and scan drivers.  I just checked out your product and it does not appear that he has plans to release a scanning HP Installer updated for this model.

    On the Mavericks seems, your best option will be to use the Apple's Image Capture scanning application.  You will find this application in the folder/Applications.  You also have the ability to scan using the preview.  Look in the file menu to make the command import from a scanner.

  • I need assistance with video editing and post production building

    Hello

    I decided after a long time to invest in a PC for me to use the video publishing house (at work, I have dual Xeon based build). After a long search I opted for this configuration and I am interested in your opinion and maybe a few suggestions for improvement. I chose X 99 platform for future compatibility upgrade and the CPU I chose now, I can replace later down the road if/when Intel realeases the 10 new core CPU i7 LGA2011-3. So I didn't want to spend more money on the K 5930 or 5960 X at this time, and I feel the 5820K with a stable overclock will give me the results I want for now, as I edit 1080 p videos for now.

    I turn mainly on SONY PMW - EX1 and NIKON D800, with sometimes images of k 4 from DRONES. I use PP to publishing, AE for the post production and motion graphics, SOUL of renders, Lightroom and PS for RAW photo editing.

    Case: Fractal Design R5 Blackout edition

    PSU: CORSAIR 750W 80 + modular Platinum HX750i (I hope that it will be enough even with overclocking)

    MB: ASUS X 99 PRO / USB 3.1

    CPU: INTEL Core i7 5820 K 3.3 GHz 15 MB BOX LGA2011-3

    CPU cooler: NOCTUA NH-D15S

    RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M4A2666C16 32 GB (4 sticks of leave options to upgrade to 64 and take advantage of the quad channel)

    GPU: ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 4 GB PCIe (is it useful to the 980 for these given additional CUDA cores it is $ 200 more?)

    SSD1: Cache files SAMSUNG 850 series 250 GB 25/S600 EVO - OS, PROGRAMS and PP

    SSD2: SAMSUNG 950 PRO 512 GB SSD PCIe 3.0x4 m2 - MEDIA PROJECT, FILES PREVIEW and OUTPUT of RENDERING

    HDD1: WD WD40EFRX 4 TB 64 M/S600 Red Edition -j' I may be obtained with two drives in RAID1 to memorize everything, after I'm done with the project and copy everything SSD2 to HDD1, but for now, I'm going with a single, and modernize if more space and backup is necessary.

    I intend running 64-bit PRO 10 Windows.

    Let me know what you think and suggestions and opinions are welcome.

    THX

    good deal and CPU cooler, x 10 core i7-6950 is widespread about 6 months out and compatible with x 99. You wouldn't have to upgrade right then, but every time you felt the need.

    If you are looking for max overclock stable and expansion as a new video card, a quality 1 k watt will be a better option. for a little more, the SuperNOVA 1300 G2 evga and XFX P1-1250-BEFX are on sale at a discount, if you don't mind discounts. the hx850i corsair is also a little more with his rebate, the hx1000i jumps a bit with no refund.

    GPU - core count, the gtx 980 would be worth $400 vs gtx 970 price. the 980 gtx has more than just a difference of base number, but it still makes the $500 + unattractive price tag. If you think you need more power now, take a look at the gtx 980ti. If not, go with the gtx 970 and if / when you do not need an update, add another to the creation or upgrade to pascal or later, when nvidia releases.

    If possible, I would avoid mirror or any what raid for backup. RAID (same mirror) can add an additional point of readers isolated data and data corruption or failure. three separate copies is good for critical data, two if not so important. using a Cloud Computing service may be a good option for one backup copies.

  • Effects of lightsaber using the dynamic link with Premiere pro and After Effects CS4

    Hi all

    I'm working on a video project and that you want to add a lightsaber effect, but a layer which is suppose to be transparent isn't using dynamic links.

    I shot the video in my head, and everything else hidden.  I made a flash body to put my head on.  Now I know how to make a lightsaber in After Effects CS4. (starting with comp 1 with videos making a white solid layer, and then using the tool pen to make the sword.  Then copy the sequences video and place it in comp 2.  Then to return to comp 1 and remove the video sequences. then on comp 1 making a SOLID BLACK LAYER {that's the problem} and place it under the layer of white.  Then duplicate the white layer 3 times.  Changing each feather white layer mask to make the glow.  so going to comp 2 and take the 1 model and her nest to model 2...  Then change the blending mode of the model nested 1 to the screen.

    The main timeline in Premiere Pro CS4 and I have the video layer 1 to Photoshop file which is pink and the background of this project.  I made a dynamic link to After Effects and copied and pasted the video images and flash to the comp.  Here, I made the lightsaber.

    That is the problem.  The model of dynamic links with video, flash and the lightsaber will not show my pink background in Premiere Pro shows him my video, flash and lightsaber but the background is black.  In case of problems, I noticed if I turn off the LAYER BLACK for the lightsaber effect, I see my pink background with video and flash sequences and the glow of sabre, but my blue lightsaber color will not appear.

    Do more problems I set photoshop to lightsaber model file and I see the video, the flash, the lightsaber but I think because the background is pink I don't get a color glow to the sword (vilot color)

    If the layer of black is supposed to be transparent, so why can't see my background in Premiere Pro using dynamic links?

    appreciate any help I can get,

    Thanks in advance.

    Mr. PETER K

    P. S. - one-way I kinda had this work was I took one of the masks of white and copied and pasted layers in nested layer comp 1.  Adjusted to the width of the mask and the pen and I got a glow of blue ok.  You just can't mask width too because it shows a lot of black.  It is not as good as I want and I hope someone can help...

    Thank you again...

    Well, blend modes don't create transparency, so the behavior is correct - because technically, the background of the model is ignored for the mix of operations, in areas where there are no content below for the mix, only the layer of black color is used. You create transparency good, real luminance based on unmultiplying, that can be done with the Knoll Unmult plugin Red Giant Software (free) or the effect of changing the channel of the AE monitoring bey a color delete effect.
