Short RAM Preview in After Effects

Hello

After applying a few automation & effects of imported video (1920 x 1080, 29.97 FPS, 50 Mbps, H.264), RAM Preview work VERY slowly. First, the program starts to deal with the composition of the current time indicator position, image after image, spend about 2 to 4 seconds per single image. Then, after about 2-3 seconds of the composition (60-90 frames or almost) computer, the application actually starts preview this short section of the model. Despite the settings in the preferences of After Effects (size of the Disk Cache, 6 GB of RAM available to the application, the rendering of multiple images simultaneously etc.), the length of the RAM-Preview video VERY short rest - maybe 2 or 4 seconds at its best. Also, sometimes, the window, saying that "after effects error: Preview RAM 2 or more images to the reading needs.

What goes wrong and it is possible to increase the length of the composition for the RAM Preview section and speed up processing executives before RAM Preview could take place?

Thank you very much.Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 13.01.51.png

You do not have enough RAM to show more than that. Video uncompressed HD (that is what After Effects creates in his compositions) is very large. More info here: FAQ: why preview RAM only plays in my composition?

    I had many problems with After Effects since the latest two updates, and after a CC full uninstall/reinstall, things are running. HOWEVER, After Effects seems to have lost the ability to use the mouse wheel to zoom in on more than a preview window. I use 2 views - Horizontal mainly, and regardless of the settings, window size, or I use the mouse, After Effects will only zoom on the left of the window.

  • After Effects keeps crashing during the RAM Preview? [Sound problem]

    Hey, personal Adobe! Adobe After Effects worked well during the first week! But about 3 days ago I discovered a major problem. Whenever I have add all the sound/music files in the application and click the RAM Preview, Adobe After Effect crashes. It was surprising to me because it never happened to me before. But here's the thing, if I don't add any audio files in my project and click RAM Preview, it does not crash. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks again!

    You should consider updating your OS and your AE.

    Apple fixed some critical bugs in that related to EI 10.10.5, so I'll try that first.

    So, if you don't mind the new cool blue colors, you should also consider updating AE - at least to the last version of CC 2014. There was a lot of bug fixes and new features added.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys/girls. Indeed, he works and plays when I select the TAB of the RAM PREVIEW. Is there a good way to play audio only with regular reading or do you always use the ram preview when working with audio in AE? (forgive the novice question)

    Reading IS regular RAM Preview in After Effects. Space bar is useless (and I don't know yet why it works at all). It must be remembered, as has been pointed out by Rick, After Effects is completely different to the NLE.

    Now, if you just want to play the audio without having to make, you can press the comma (.) key on the numeric keypad. During audio playback, you can press on the * keys on your keyboard to leave markers. If a layer is selected, it lets you layer markers and if no layer is selected, it will leave the composition markers.

    As someone new to After Effects, you should really Start here. Related resources it cover all the basic things you need to know including how to obtain an overview on AE. Get a good foundation in the basics will help you avoid a lot of frustration in the future.

  • Can't do the ram preview, but why?

    Hello

    I asked this question already in several forums. I had a problem with ram Preview in After Effects.

    My PC system:

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X 6 1055 t.
    Mother/card motherboard: GIGABYTE GA - 870 a - UD3

    Graphics card: Gainward GTX 460 GS 2048 MB GDDR5
    HARD DRIVE: WD 500 MB
    RAM: 12 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM A-data value 1333 CL9
    Windows 7

    After Effects CS5

    Now when I want to do a ram preview, it gives me only about 1.5 seconds, then it stops rendering. Multicore function will result in an error message: "not enough RAM installed. When I click on 'Détails' in the presets window in AE, it tells me:

    Installed RAM: 12 GB
    Current Ram usage: 0,31 GB
    Eligible Ram usage: 0.4 GB
    Maximum usable memory: 12 GB
    Maximum allowed memory: 0.4 GB
    Minimum memory required: 0.4 GB

    Isn't this weird? It seems that EI is not check that there is 12 GB installed.

    PS: In the settings I have the value 1 'Ram for other applications' and ' available for AE Ram"at 11.

    Have the same problem.

    Win 7 64-bit AE cs 5.5 (not trial) intel core2quad (no AMD heh) 4 GB of Ram (1.5 reserved for other applications in memory & multiprocessing)

    Although this is not serious

    This problem is really made by Firewall (dr.web in my case)

    It is easy to check - just turn off your firewall and restart AE - you will see that all 3 problems are solved:

    Start of 5-10 min (with the text "initializing media core")

    the RAM use permit: 0.4 (I think that adobe is great, that AE works always with 0.4 GB of RAM)))

    problem with Quicktime

    But we cannot work with firewall disabled. really.

    So there's an adobe decision frome (for another problem, but it still works):

    Solution

    In the settings of your firewall software, allow connections to make to and from the following applications:

    Windows:

    • AfterFX.exe
    • Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    • dynamiclinkmanager.exe
    • PProHeadless.exe

    From there:

    Good luck!

  • New version after effects now have a very poor delay with render preview

    Last year only preview rendering After Effects ' seems to have been much worse.

    When I visited a working space, there is a 22 frame delay before the picture becomes visible. Playing audio but the picture is frozen and no shortage on the beginning of the preview.

    You must wait until it passes at the end to watch the start.

    Why is this happening? It was something that worked perfectly for years and now does not work.

    Is there a way to solve this problem on my side or flat?

    OS X 10.10 / 10.9

    AE CC 2014

    It is a known issue with Yosemite on all the versions of AE. Even if you try with CS6, you will still see this problem. If you are using a different operating system, you will not have this problem. It is a problem to Apple; they changed stuff in Yosemite. I'm sure they had their reasons. Until Apple releases a fix (if they ever will be), you're pretty stuck if you can not go back to the Mavericks.

    However, Adobe has a fix in the works. The problem is that the fix is to completely rewrite the code from the heart of EI. According to the people at Adobe, the updated version of the AE with the new preview is supposed to go out to the 'spring '. So everyone on Yosemite will have to argue politely ask Apple to fix the problem or wait until the update of EI. Frustrating, I know.

  • After Effects behind with just 14 seconds of clips

    Initially, I shot a lot of video with a Canon Vixia HF G30 in AVCHD. When I realized that Mac cannot read this format correctly, I used handbrake to convert them to MP4 using the H.264 codec. I am all videos stored on an external hard drive of 1 TB and dragging into a folder on my desktop when I need them. I imported 2 clips in my composition in After Effects totally 14 seconds of video. I can't do anything in AE. I try to slide the clip in position and moves it to a very small amount and then crashes. I have a MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB of which dedicate themselves to After Effects.

    I have worked with After Effects several times but never had that bad of a problem with such a tiny amount of sequences. I think that perhaps it would be too big of a file of suggestions on how to convert it into a smaller file without loss of quality would be very useful. Thank you very much.

    I am the preview by pressing the space bar

    Ah. Found your problem! You misunderstand how to use After Effects! AE is not a real-time editing application. It is a composer based on pixels. As any composer based on pixels, you must return an overview. And sometimes it can take very long to make depending on your effects. You should not press SPACEBAR to preview. After effects help. Preview

    Because you didn't know how to do something as simple as the preview, I'll suggest to take a big step back and start here: starting After Effects

    There are probably a TON of useful stuff you need to know that you have missed.

    I had staples of 14 seconds that took a lot more than 2 hours to make. You just have to know to set up your scene correctly and how to work with the software. All your problems come from not understanding how the After Effects (or how to work with After Effects).

  • After Effects effects/unsaturated layers of loading

    Hi guys,.

    I googled and searched the forums of people with them even issue but can not find someone else has this exact problem. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. I worked on my short film VFX in After Effects in my spare time for about the last 6 months... But recently, after a windows update, something happened in my project that is hard to explain.


    I use a lot of pre-rendered effects and 3rd party plugins (mainly Action Essentials, 3D, video and special Neat item) and for some reason any randomly, after updated Windows Update a couple of weeks, all my belongings in the project are loading in black and white/unsaturated. All new effect that I charge is fine, but everything has lost its color and nothing that I don't bring him back. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of pre-rendered effects.

    I created a video of the broadcast and transferred > https://vimeo.com/179858249/a5f8aca176
    It may be easier to understand than reading about it. Anything that might require an update (CC, GPU, BONE etc.) has been updated to its latest version.

    Thanks again! =)
