General questions After Effects

Hi all

I have some general questions of After Effects:

-J' bought some model videohive.net and when I open it, legacy projects

converts them. It of quite OK, but is it the the ability to hide this message.

-I'm a bit confused on "after effects multiprocessing. It took me about 3 hours to search the

NET to know, that I still have no idea if I should active it or not. It comes to my computer:

PhenomX4 955 (Quad Core) AMD

8 GB RAM

60 GB SSD

Windows 7

NVIDIA GTX 580

Should I use multiprocessing? Currently my settings under "Memory & multiprocessing" are

"Reserved for other applications of RAM: 1.5 GB" (available for AE 6, 5 GB)

"Reserved for other applications processors: 0".

"Allocation of RAM per CPU of background: 2GB.

"Real CPU that will be used: 2.

When I work in After Effects, I don't use other programs at the same time.

In addition to these questions, I am very satisfied with this product!

Probably not, but it depends on the plug-ins used in the project.

For MP to work you need to at least 2 GB by heart, but you can not say what setteings are the best unless you try some different combinations. Set up a test project that is typical of your workflow that only lasts about 5 seconds. Try a few different settings about allocate 2 GB for each CPU (in the RAM available for the AE control). The interface is a little confusing, but here's a configuration that works on my laptop.

Take a look at the RAM reserved for other applications, the CPU for other applications and the allocation of Ram per CPU background. I use as much ram as I can for AE but leaving a 1.5 GB for other applications. This leaves 6.5 GB available for Adobe applications. If I let 2GB for other applications and he leavs 6 Adobe which is right on the edge of breakdown 3 processors. If I put select 2 GB of Ram processor used actual distribution falls to 0 and make once we pass 01:17 by MP 2 minutes offshore. If I try to return all 4 cores my render time is the best time of 48 seconds at 58 with no other apps open. This represents an increase of about 20%. If I switch to another application while rendering with all 4 cores used to render times will at 01:48. Remember that the render time for my test with off multiprocessing computer is 01:17 so MP allows for most of the projects.

I guess the point is that you should pay attention to what happens to the actual CPU used and run tests. As I said at the beginning, some effects are not aware of MP and allowing of multiple chassis treatment can slow down the system or cause a malfunction.

I hope this helps.

  • Questions after effects 13.5 and 13.6

    My legacy became very slow. When I click on the menu items, it can take up to a second for them to appear while Photoshop is nearly instantaneous.  Most of these problems occur on both machines. Here are some behaviors that I notice:

    (1) what charge he takes a lot of time on mediacore

    (2) the boot screen 'Open a new project or the last' can take minutes to appear, or even hang it.

    (3) so that I can rub through a schedule cache as fast as real-time insight runs at 1fps.

    (4) when I click on a menu, it may take 1 to 2 seconds to open (such as file-new)

    (5) when I try to register, it will always need to save even a very modest draft. However, if I click on EI, it will save almost immediately.

    My main machine is a dual Zeon, 32 MB RAM, Quadro M6000, Windows 10.

    I have blown all the prefs and reinstalled the software.

    Edit: added the specifications of the system.

    SOLVED: It was a beta of the VizRT plug-in. I wouldn't have a plug-in that you do not use would have affected performance, but as it placed an action in the Edit menu there must have been invoked.

    Remove the plugin solved the problem and I put just to test.  The problem resurfaced, I confirmed it was the question.

  • After Effects - general question

    I need of After Effects or some other piece of software for a specific project.  It goes to its strange, but I need to create a simple mobile point growing and smaller animation and rolls in and out of the screen.  I'll fix some sound effects in the background as well.   All the animation will run about 30 minutes.

    Is the best After Effects software for this project?   If this is not the case, what do you suggest?   Advice on all learning skills that I need to learn how to carry out this project would be greatly appreciated as well.

    Thank you!

    Nope.  There are too many fundamentals to learn just to get to the point of a project, even a simple.  There are too many ways that AE can you pipe.  Procedure step by step a new doing what you describe would extend far beyond the scope of a simple forum post.

    In short, AE is not any pony thing.  That is why Mylenium included this link.

  • Question about the Introduction of the video in After Effects

    Hey guys, I'm new to the Forum!

    I want to keep it's short enough for you guys so I'll try to make it as brief as possible. Here's my question/problem:

    In Adobe After Effects CS6, I created an intro for my videos on YouTube using a Premium battlefield model I found on YouTube and made it in a file format video 1080 p H.264 (.mp4) rendered by default "best settings". The introductory video lasts not more than 5 seconds. Having little knowledge of Adobe After Effects, I intend to learn more of the program using it as my default video editing (from Sony Vegas Pro 12) software and I seem to have a little drama.

    For those who regularly put introductions in their videos, I have a question for you.

    When I did a video today with my introduction in place (I had taken the introduction already made and placed in my composition and worked around it), but I noticed that the model I used was only a 1280 x 720 one. Making the resolution a bit distorted and 'big' than usual. My question is, should I render it again the introduction as well as the introductory model or continue to do what I did today is the introduction already rendered and move around?

    What do guys do generally?

    Thank you very much! I can't wait to hear the responses!

    Imagine a movement that is only 30 minutes long. Now imagine that the time between the cups about 6 seconds. It's 30 minutes multiplied by 60 seconds divided by 6 seconds. This means that your AE comp, excluding the effects, titles or other things going to have 300 layers staggered on the time line for 30 minutes. Now, imagine that you want to change shooting 244 6 seconds 9 seconds. Which leaves you only 56 layers to slide around.

    Add to restore each preview and preview of the deadline for the memory live available and you'll see why AE is a program that I recently used to create a second shot 9 of 64 layers for a commercial, but I used first Pro is what I used to cut only 9 seconds to 30 seconds of spot.

  • After questions hardware effects

    Hello everyone.

    I have a few questions about Adobe After Effects optimization with material.


    1. What is more important for a better performance of the AE - CPU or GPU?

    2. which is better for performance of EI - Intel i7 CPU with 2 hearts and hyper-foulant enabled or A10 processor AMD with 4 cores?

    Thanks in advance.

    1 CPU and GPU NOT.

    2. the fastest processor wins.  No mentioned processor is worth a PIN for multiprocessing in AE.

  • A few questions about After Effects and CGI (computer generated images)

    Hello

    I am very new to this forum and After Effects. But I have a few questions.

    Now, I recently started a film project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'll probably be the editor and, if necessary, support visual and special effects. This looks like a pretty big job for a noob, but we do not have a limit of time with the project, so it's time to learn.

    But my questions. I thought to myself of the introduction of CGI (very simple of course). I studied the use of blender, and I think that I'll use for modeling and animation. But Ae should be used in any stage of production of CGI or make in a blender? If I do, how? I'm going in the wrong direction (bad kind of software, etc.)?

    In addition, I do not speak of fully producing the scene with the computer, but by adding things like the characters or objects, may be special effects.

    I'm hoping for an answer to my questions, but if you only have one or two responses, I'm happy to hear also. You are also welcome to correct me if I misunderstood something. Thank you for clarification if you need!

    1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, very big. It's hard. Really hard. Not sure how hard AE is learr and master.

    2. no time limit is good, but you will need the money.

    3. This is not a forum of Blender. You want to discover the film, CGI and Blender own forums for this kind of assistance.

    4 AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work until you decide how to distribute your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Using a digital SLR? Do you know why? Or do you use a GoPro? Another example may be Apple Final Cut Pro. You can edit the audio in it, but it is preferable to use an audio application. You can do special effects in FCP but it is better to do complex things in motion for After Effects. How can you know what app is appropriate a lot of experience. Many failures.

    5. we were all new EI vidoe editing and special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. Do you with tutorials, books and tons of time. One thing is to learn how to use the Blender to make a robot move. Do the robot into a character that requires the public to worry, it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. With these clouds react to bow waves created by your robot flying as it closer sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

    1. when I Composition - add to the queue of media encoder - I get an error message AEDynamic link server, adobe media encoder is not installed (it is) I tried to reinstall once or twice and no cigar. I'm on PC and the software is installed on my D: drive not C:

    2. when exit MXF OP1a - file XDCAMHD 50 PAL (4:2:2), which is the format that I deliver to television stations, AE 2015 shows a shift of parameters and resizes pictures 1440 x 1080 - AE 2014 did not do that, so I'll have to go back to doing my final output 1920 x 1080.

    3 preview, audio not playing not for the first second or so when he was at first, which is a bit irrititating.

    -Student of the school, for a project!

    Yes. If you return your C4D file in a format with alpha, you can easily place a video behind it in AE. You can even easily make your C4D in AE camera movement, if you want to. For several years Maxon provides a plugin to integrate a project C4D cameras, lights and null values or solid (which have been marked with the external Compositing Tag) AE. Lately, however, there is another way. If you have AE CC (version 12) or CC 2014 (version 13), there is another way: Details of CINEMA 4 d with After Effects integration

  • Question of proportions when you replace a clip in Premiere CS6 with a Composition After Effects CS6

    Please help! When I try to right click on a clip in my timeline first and replace with After Effects composition, I can do it, but problems ensue.

    After Effects lights, but the composition will be in 4 / 3, even if the project and clip that I'm alters were the two 16:9.

    I was able to change the aspect ratio of 16:9 in After Effects and then change what I wanted, but an hour later, when I had finsihed, saved and went to the first, he smushed the clip replaced 4:3 in the first.

    To reitterate:


    When I replace a clip in first with a mock-up of the AE, AE opens in 4:3.

    I can change the model of EI in 16:9, but when I save and return to the first, there smushed the model of EI down to 4:3.

    What can I do to stop this?

    If you right click on the item in the project Panel, then select Edit / interpret the images you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.

    What did he say?

    If she says 0.9091 then change to 1.2121

    If she says something, come back and let me know. Then I will have a different answer for you.

    Also, what is the size of the frame of the video.
