Adobe After Effects RAM preview crash

My computer specs:
Processor: AMD9(Quadcore) A8-5600k APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.60 Ghz
Memory: 8.00 GB (7.40 Usable)
64 bit OS and AAE CS6 is 64 as well.
(I also updated my graphics card driver to Catalyst 12.8 and it still crashes.
Can someone help me solve this problem with it crashing?

Are you saying that After Effects closes when you RAM preview? Does it pop up an error message? How far into a RAM preview? How are you initiating this RAM preview? What kind of footage are you using? What effects are in your comp? Does this happen in every project? Has it worked before without crashing? What EXACT OS are you using? What is your EXACT version number of After Effects (11.0.2?) What are your memory and multiprocessing settings?

Adobe After Effects CS6 keeps crashing before it even starts

So like a year ago I purchased adobe after effects. I used it almost every day till about 2 months ago till I started using another video editing program. So for 2 months I did not open AE. Today I felt like using it because I felt it would do a better job that sony vegas so I tried to open it. It brought up the purple icon and it gave me an error. ''After Effects error:Crash in progress. Last logged message was (number here changes every time i do it) <dynamiclink> <5> c:/program files/adobe/adobe after effects cs6/support files/32/dynamiclinkmanger.exe. after this messege it just automatically exits after saying it crashed. I really need it to work since my final for college depends on it. I tried to uninstall it several times with numerous programs but none work. Whats wrong? how do i fix it ? is their a file or something missing? i looked on updates on adobe bridge and it said i was up to date. In addition i manualy tried to download an update and when i tried to open the update file it would open up af and display the same messege. any suggestions welcomed. thanks

The short version is that you either have changed your graphics setup, messed up your CoDecs, done something weird to your media cache or have permissions/ security issues or whatever. Since you failed to provide any system information we can't be any more specific.

Adobe after effect cs5 automatic crashes when im starting it up

Hi
First time ever im on this forum.
Well i got a problem.
Its like whenever i start up adobe after effect its just freaking crashes.
And also 3 error windows pops up.
Heres the first one:
And i dont even know what that means.
Something on Polish.
Heres the next one:
And heres the third one:
That was all.
Also the system im using is x64 windows 7 ultimate.
And this just happend when i was making a montage and rendering it.
It was really slow so i stoped the rendering process and whosh it crashed.
It also sad that i could make an last save because adobe after effect crashed.
So any ideas?

Which format were you rendering it to? Was it a QuickTime codec?

After Effects Ram Preview Drops Frames , Using Strangely Too Much Ram

System Specs :
     CPU : Core i7 4770k
     Memory : 16 GB DDRIII
     Graphic Card : GTX 770 4GB RAM
     Storage : 256 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD

     Using After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
NOTE : NOT ANY ADDITIONAL HARDWARE IS ATTACHED TO MY PC . NO SOUND RELATED EQUIPMENT NOR CAPTURE CARD NOR ANY THING ELSE
Hi there
As you Already Don't know I'm an After effects Specialist Using it for quite long time . There is an Ancient Problem with CS6 CC versions . I have a short Small size 1080p Video , about 8 MB , I drag it into project panel and then put it into timeline hence it creates a sequence . There are no Effects and nothing added to timeline , just a small simple video . The Strange Problem is when I click "0" for ram preview , The video starts playing and the green bar above timeline starts to fill . When Ram preview Finishes and plays the video from beginning I See there are several frames Between which are not being loaded to Ram ! The video plays RGB color bar instead of main video and when I check the Green bar above Timeline I see that those frames are being dropped and there is no Green bar above them !
I have had this problem several times before but this time it is too important and the problem should be solved . What is obvious is that some frames are not being rendered or are being deleted after render !
Another Strange problem is that when I open Task manager , It shows AE uses around 10 GB ! of RAM when I press "0" for Ram previewing this video !
So there is a Logical explanation here , Somehow when I do ram preview this video it uses extra ordinary too much ram so AE is unable to load the full video (8 MB) into Ram and hence deletes some of frames .
most of my videos have not this problem and use acceptable amount of ram .I've had this issue with some of my videos till now .
Listen carefully : "This has nothing to do with AE preferences or low memory or plugins . because there is nothing wrong with any individual components of may hardware or software . I have far more than enough RAM for a 8MB video . My Memory has no hardware or software problem . I tested them and if there was any problem with memory or other hardware that should have affected other applications . I have the most recent AE version . I have the most Recent windows updates and drivers . I have a Clean virus free system , and as a computer engineer this strange AE problem is rarely caused by viruses , trust me . I have not any hardware instead of ones a normal PC has . I have not any problem with my whole entire system configuration because I have benchmarked my PC with several up to date softwares . I have tested my PC with almost any STRESS TESTING solutions available for really long period of time , 3 days by IDA64 . Not any driver conflict , dll missing , registry problem have been discovered , as I know perfectly how to solve them ."
I asked some of my friend whom are expert in AE . I handed them my videos and Watched ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE ! So the problem isn't related to my Local PC . What i believe is that there is some malfunctioning or miss coded part in AE source code that decides to reserve such a huge strange amount of ram for such a tiny 8MB video . The point is that the AE works fine , no crash or any problem report . So the AE it Self decides to allocate such huge amount of ram and thinks it is correct ! So I think this is a work around that AE developers in adobe are using to bypass a problem or conflict ! by Using more amount of RAM . I think that there might be some miss understanding between the AE and my installed codec . I installed MEGA CODEC PACK on my PC to enable some new codec supports , and so are some of Windows default de/encoders changed to new ones . I think there shouldn't be any problem But there is something wrong between AE and de/encoder modules !
Please any one with any suggestion , I really appreciate your advices .

###UPDATED###
Well thank you guys for your patience ...
as you considered I forgot to mention the codec itself and other stuff ...

I think you hit the point ! Thats K-lite codec pack installed on every machine which the video is tested on ! The point is whats wrong with it ?! I have had never ever any problem with this codec pack !!!
The deadly question : So what are the alternative ways to work with codecs that AE doesn't support ?! because installing codec looks simple and sufficient !

After Effects RAM Preview not showing first 50 frames or so - Mac OS

So I'm on a 2012 iMac, and when i RAM preview, it plays audio but video does not show until about 50 or 60 frames in, its like a glitch or lag thats started recently, so it makes ram previewing from a certain time a real pain as i then miss the exact part i want and it c matches up with video a second or two later, i can't find any solutions, please help!!

As Andrew says, Adobe and Apple are working on figuring this bug out. See the known issues section of this page: After Effects good to go with Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite)
If you let the RAM preview loop at the end of its playback and play through again, it should be smooth and issue-free.

Error in After Effects RAM Preview after updating to Yosemite

There is an issue of RAM preview not showing video for the first several frames (a second or so) on the first run in After Effects.
No problem under Maverick.
Which means it has to do with the yosemite System-update.
This bug should really be fixed with some priority!
Apparently, Adobe cannot fix it (or don't want to).
So it's Apple who has to do something!!!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

After Effects Ram Preview Help

Hello. I have recently got into after effects, and haven't had this problem until i deleted and then re downloaded AE (I was having a problem with creative cloud) So, I usually I want to render a 10 second clip, which isn't much, but when I try and render it with RAM Preview, it only renders about one second. I looked at other forum posts, and they suggested to upgrade your ram, but I have 12GB's of RAM dedicated to after effects, and my computer ONLY has 12, so I'm really stuck here. if someone could help me, that would be great as I really can't do anything in AE without a full RAM preview. Thank you.

12 GB RAM isn't much for After Effects. You also need to allow for some RAM usage by the system for it to work properly.

After effects ram preview video playback issue

Greetings -- I have Mac Pro 2.93 GHz 12 Core with Nvidia Quadro 4000 & 24GB Ram.
During ram preview playback, it seems as though the video isn't refreshing fast enough in the display -- meaning its almost as if I can see the refresh on the top/bottom half of the frame happening separately. It's a bit diffucut to describe, actually. This does not happen with the same clip in Premiere, just AE.
The rendered video is fine and plays in QT/VLC, etc. without issue, it's just ram preview and is very distracting.
Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated!

CS6, 720p clip, 100%, Full, 29.97 fps. This may be related to the preview settings... It seems to go away if I turn it to final quality v.s. adaptive.

Adobe After effects carshes. Help!!!!

When ever I start adobe after effects cs4, it crashes saying "pure visual function 6025 error" something like that. It happens just after the splash screen and I can't do anything. It worked fine until 2 days back. I also got another error message- camera raw 8bi- out of memory. So camera raw error message comes first then the 6025 error comes after that when ever I run after effects. My comp- laptop with 300 gb hdd. inter centrino duo 1.8ghz, 2gb ram.
It worked fine until 2 days back.

It got fixed itself when I updated it.
My RAM is 2.4gb.
I usually do not work while its rendering. In this, 27 second video takes 1 hr to render. Anyway I am buying a new laptop of 8 gb ram.
Thanks

Adobe after effects doesn't work

i don't know what happen but i have this problem like almost 3 months in only says a warning that adobe after effects is in crash and the square thing apears and it just frezes please help

I'm sorry to hear that. Would you be willing to sharte some more info? Go to your Start Menu, then choose Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Information. In the program, choose Save from the File menu. Post the file here on the forum or send it to me via mail (mylenium<|>at<|>mylenium<|>dot<|>de). in addition, it would help if you could provide the installer logs from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this after all...

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.even if I restart. I'm not able to acces any of the top tools.

What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
You can reset the workspace to its default by deleting your preferences folder.
Information on finding and deleting the preferences folder can be found here, in After Effects Help:

Adobe After Effects Crash! Help! SOS!

hello, thanx for reading this question. id like to come to the point, i have just installed adobe after effects cs3 pro v8.0.0 on my pc and its working fine, until yesterday when i tried to import a video file which is in .avi format. i can tell you surely that i did nothing of consequence to the working of the program before i tried importing it! but when i double clicked the file i wanted to import, adobe after effects crashes and gives me one more chance at saving the project i was working on before freezing. i had to click close and end now to shut the program down. everything else works fine on the program except when i try to import a video file! ive heard people saying that you need to delete or reset your preferences and that would solve your problem but if that is the solution, how do i do it, and if it isn't the solution what do i do? thanx a lot for reading this question and hope u reply to it with a solution! thanks, ciao!

First, make sure you run the Adobe Updater to install any software updates. Then, try transcoding your .avi into a different format/codec. The .avi could be using one of a variety of problematic codecs. To transcode it, use Quicktime Pro, or a variety of other transcoding options (google for various software that will do this for you).

After installing Adobe After Effects CC the web browser crashes

Hi,
I don't know where to turn with this so I'm trying as many possibilities as I can think of:
I installed After Effects CC on my PC. I then noticed that a web page that I created incorporating a virtual tour stopped functioning properly. It doesn't matter which computer I access it from. I haven't done anything to this web page but it has just stopped working properly after I installed After Effects CC. If I use Chrome a Shockwave Flash has Crashed message appears:
I've tried creating a similar page but the same problem occurs:
I've checked Chrome using the phrase about:plugins and tried disabling one of the two Adobe Flash Player plugins to no effect
I've contacted my internet service provider and they have assured me the problem is not connected to using their service
I have contacted the company which provided the virtual tour software and sent them a copy of the file that I included in the web page. There has never been any problem with the web page before
I also tried uninstalling and downloading a more up to date version of the Panotour Tourweaver software but still the same problem occurs.
I've tried recreating the page but the browser (IE, Firefox and Chrome) crashes on whichever computer I'm accessing the webpage from
So I wondered if the problem is connected the creative cloud?
No matter what computer I use the browser crashes when I click on a button within the webpage (which normally opens another webpage that I created). I haven't touched any of this and it has always worked perfectly. The only thing I've done recently is to download the Adobe After Effects CC app and then the problem occurred.
Any constructive advice would be appreciated, thanks

Update - I've now tested this with different internet connections, different computers and different operating systems. I've also just received a response from my internet service provider who said:
"I've tested in Firefox, and it looks as if the buttons are crashing the browsers' flash plugin. This being the case, it is not going to be anything related to your computer, the internet connection, or the web server.
In all likelihood, it will be an issue with how the flash tour is coded, which I presume is created automatically by the Tourweaver package you mention. You will need to pursue their support for advice on this problem as it is something with the flash file)s( which isn't working correctly."
So, hopefully Easypano support will be able to fix the problem. Obviously no connection at all with Adobe After Effects
