After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

New build for After Effects, Premiere Pro and C4D

I was supposed to upgrade back in december, but that project got held off because of a financial emergency, but now i got some money set aside, i'll like it if i could get advice on this build.
CPU : Core i7 5820K 6-core 3.3ghz
Cooler : Noctua NH-D15
MB : Asus X99-A
RAM : Crucial 4x8 GB DDR4 2133 mhz CL15
HDs : Already own a SSD and a few others
GPU : Asus GeForce GTX970 STRIX
PS : EVGA Supernova G2 750 watts
Case : Cooler Master HAF 932 (already owned)
I intend to overclock the processor to around 4ghz, am i well set to achieve this with this setup ?
I use After Effects the most, but i'm really digging 3D and will probably use it more and more, I guess my priority would be good render times and a smooth experience in softwares.
Thank you !

"I just installed the GTX 970 into my Adobe CC environment.
INCREDIBLE. I created a 4096 sequence, scaled up a 1080 clip to full screen, applied Gaussian blur, Noise, and rotated it on two 3D axes (keyframed), with color correction....
It played back fullscreen, full speed, no dropped frames, and the GPU load never even broke a sweat beyond 19%.
My previous card was a GTX 560 SE. This is not an upgrade, it is a paradigm shift.
Premiere accepted the card after the polite "Enable this unsupported GPU" notice.
Exports (at least to H.264) are taking the card up to about 76%."

Reinstalled Premiere Pro CS4 in windows 64 bit Vista and it worked, then today I am receiving error message 1

and it will not start. Before the reinstallation I was having problems with my computer entering the power save mode. I have reset the mode to high performance. I was unable suddenly to view video on source or preview monitor. Every move I made on Premiere Pro left me with a spinning circle and no choice but to shut down. Now it will not start.

Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro CS6.0.2 - audio pitch dropped and video staggering

Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro - all audio is lower in frequency by very noticeable amount and video keeps dropping back a few frames every few seconds, apparently trying to keep in sync with slower audio.
This does not happen consistently, perhaps every 5 or 6 launches. Otherwise program works normally after launch and sometimes a quit and relaunch will fix the problem.
Have submitted bug report but wondered if anyone else having the same problem?
Mac OSX 10.8.4 iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 32GB

Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
Why is it really bad?
Its a fact of digital life. High datarate = quality.
example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

Why when after I preview render my videos in Premiere Pro CS4, everything is off-screened???

Before I preview my videos, they all looked fine in on the preview box.
But after when I preview rendered them, everything looks off... the positions and the scalings of the videos are all totally squashed and sideways, like as if it's a corrupted file or something..
And another issue - when I want to final render out the videos, nothing seems to be moving at all... I have more than enough hard disk spaces, but they just won't move at all... why is this??
I'm using Premiere Pro version 4.0.1. (the latest version if I remember)
Please help / advice, thanks

Welcome to the forum.
What are the full specs. of your Source Files, and also your Sequence Preset?
It sounds like you have a mis-match in there somewhere.

After Effect / Premiere Pro CC 2014 Video Importing Conflicts

Why are my Adobe software packages not cooperating? PRes imported out of AE and into PPRO, but no die? Why?
Today I have a brand new MacBook Pro, I also have Adobe CC installed, predominantly for PremierePro and After Effects.
First issue - With ProRes video files exported successfully from Davinci Resolve not being imported into AE. After a few hours of failed attempts, head scratching and searching online I found I had to delete certain files from the hard drive / Quicktime folder (DVCPROHDCodec.component / ApplDVCPROHDCodec.compnent / etc) It seems now that AE has these codecs packaged into the application (?)
Anyway this worked! And I was able to import files in without 'after effects 86. error 4. reading file from frame'. Popping up endlessly.
Second issue - I work on an AE composition & try to export as a PremierPro file from AE, this works and I open with Premire Pro, but some video files on the timeline are missing (?)
So I decide to go the long route and export the composition as a single clip at ProRes from After Effects. I attempt to bring this clip into Premiere Pro and I get another error 'The importer reported a generic error'.
This is highly frustrating, I want to know what Adobe are doing to provide the relevant support for us enthusiastic movie makers and editors. I seem to spend most of my time trying to get my software packages working
with one another than making creative content and this really is unproductive and irritating, especially since these softwares are from the same company.

Go to HD/Library/Quictime and delete all .component files. It appears that the correct procedure is to delete all QT components and everything so far works. I have to do this every time I run after effects or Premiere Pro, and remember to put them back in again after shutting down software. Any ideas why this is happening folks?

After effects & Premiere Pro CC problems -HELP-

Hi everyone,
I'm having some slight issues with after effects and adobe premiere CS6 CC on my notebook.
I downloaded the CC and can install all the apps, and every app (photoshop, illustrator, mediaencoder etc all work.
My notebook specs:
8GB ram
Nvidia 840M
(It says there is an integrated graphics aswell, maybe this could be the issue? that AE and Premiere select this one instead of the 840M)
Samsung evo 250GB SSD (Bootup drive and this is where CC is installed)
500GB HDD 7200rpm
For after effects:
When I run AE it starts the loading screen, but it crashes almost right away when it says "Initializing Mediacore" and gives this error:
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <7304>
<GPUmanager> <2> Sniffer Result Code 3
(Error code 0 :: 42)
I think it has something to do with my VGA drivers, but I have uninstalled all the Nvidia and Intel drivers and installed both the newest and previous versions of drivers. But none fixed the issue.
Now heres where it gets interesting. yesterday I decided to test if a cracked version of AE CS6 worked on my computer. And it did, it openend smoothly and everything worked as far as I could test.
After testing I unistalled the cracked version (completly wiped everything), and reinstalled CC. But still no luck.
As for Premiere, the moment the loading screen pops up it says "Adobe Premiere CS6 has stopped working". All I can click is cancel, and when I do it just closes Premiere.
I saw a thread where someone said the issue was Nvidia geforce Experience. But even when I don't install this AE and Premiere don't work.
hope I gave you all enough information!
thanks for your time

Producing a Video - Best Render Settings for After Effects & Premiere Pro?

Hi Guys,
I just want to make sure I am producing my video the right way .... it takes an awfully long time and I have to use 2 programs....
First I have a 1080p HD Camcorder - so when I shoot my videos I want to ensure they are 1080p.
So I do my editing in After Effects and produce the video as an AVI file - and usually a 5 min clip outputs as 70GB (Full Quality Settings)
I then take this video and import it into Premiere Pro and produce it as WMV file (Full Quality) and then the final output is 200MB and the quality is not lost - so I am happy.
So my question is am I doing it the best way?
I tried to produce it as a WMV straight from After Effects but I am not sure what settings to pick that will keep the quality and not make the filesize huge - so I am forced to use 2 programs.
So if there is an easier way let me know ... bc it sucks using 2 programs to render out the video.
And also is that normal - 200mb for a 5 min clip or is that still too big?
Remember I want to keep things 1080p.
If you want to see a sample of my video that I am producing - you can watch my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/socialmindz
Thanks for your help.

I agree with Rick.

Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file. You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

Graphics cards and After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Sony Vegas...which is best?

Debating between two EVGA cards for a new build.
I don't game at all, but I want the most kickass system I can for After Effects CS6, Premiere Pro CS6, and Sony Vegas.
Kepler option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130768
Fermi option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130687
Will spending more and waiting for Kepler net that much of a performance gain? Is there anywhere with good benchmarks on GPUs just for Adobe products and video editing? Which matters more and for what: OpenGL, Cuda, Memory Size, Clock speed?

It's not pointless. I know which cards are supported and which aren't. I'm not confused about which is supported. I know the 680 is not explicitly supported (yet?), but OpenGL and CUDA will still provide some benefit or no?
The GTX 580 and GTX 570 seem to "compute" far better than the GTX 680. I was kind of wondering real world what that mean for PP and AE and what it didn't mean.
I guess some of my interest is in understanding practically what a few more CUDA cores will do or what makes the OpenGL performance of a card better: Cuda, Memory Size, Clock Speed...what.
Ie, is the GTX 680 justified when it seems like it might not be a big enough bang for the buck.

Sager NP9570 - After Effects/Premiere Pro/SpeedGrade

Hello everybody,
I want to buy a laptop that will double as my desktop. I want to work in After Effects, handle 4k in Premiere Pro, color grade in SpeedGrade, and process audio files in Audition. I’m new to video editing/effects/grading, having had under one year of evenings and weekends spent on many failed projects and learning the hard way how simple things are done. That being said, I’ve never been an Apple guy (I think they’re overpriced for performance) so their laptops are out of the question for me.
My laptop of interest right now is Sager NP9570. Here’s my provisional build:
i7-4930K (6-core)
32GB Quad Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 880M GPU with 8GB GDDR5 Video Memory
SSD1 (OS and Adobe CC): 120GB Samsung 840 EVO Series SATA3 Solid State Disk Drive
SSD2 (raw footage): 500GB Samsung 840 EVO Series SATA3 Solid State Secondary Disk Drive
SSD3 (projects): 500GB Samsung 840 EVO Series SATA3 Solid State Secondary Disk Drive
The screen is 17.3” and I am thinking of going with the 72% NTSC matte screen option, instead of the 90% NTSC glossy version. It’s not for wanting to work in blinding sun that I say this, but because I heard the 90% NTSC screen can wreck damage to your grading (please let me know if I’m wrong).
I should add I’m also planning to take it with me on long trips through SE Asia. It is heavy (essentially a desktop packed in a laptop), weighing 17 pounds including the ungodly 5-pound power brick. I will basically use it as a mobile desktop, lugging it around in my suitcase and leaving it behind in the hotel room, while I go out to shoot.
I appreciate your support and words of advice.

Can I use After Effects/Premiere Pro to change 29.97 to 23.97?

I shot footage on BMCC at 29.97 accidentally. I now need a way to change it back to 23.97 because the rest of my footage was shot like that. Anyway I can change this? Either using Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro? The footage is all on sticks with minimal movement. Can it look the same as 23.97? I've heard using Twixtor can fix this, but want to make sure there isn't any other way before I look into that. Thanks.

Twixtor will do a better job of it because it takes more parameters into account than AE does.
And get that frame rate straight! it's 23.976, not 23.97. Those tiny fractions can come back to bite you later on.

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

After Effects - Premiere Pro workflow question...

Hi,
I have a basic question about workflow between AE and PP.
I'm editing an acting reel for a client which deals with a lot of different footage and bits and pieces here and there.
We already converted all the footage to DV-AVI - tweaking, color correction and effects are done in AE.
Here's the question that I'm thinking about:
Should I work on all my footage in AE first and then import it into PP for editing OR should I edit everything the way I wanna have it and then import it into AE for the tweaking.
Advantages for both options that come to my (newbie) mind:
AE first then PP
1. Final editing is done in PP which gives me flexibility if I wanna change things later editing wise
2. PP exporting options are huge - don't know if AE can compare to that
3. could import to PP via Dynamic link which saves me the hassle of exporting each little clip from AE to a lossless format - as mentioned we have lot's of different footage and little bits and pieces here and there
PP first the AE
1. if u apply a lot of effects, Dynamic link is a pain to scrub through the footage in PP because it takes so much time to render through the link - with exporting a final edited version from PP and then importing into AE would make things go a little bit smoother
2. I would have more flexiblity if I wanna change any effects in AE
What would u suggest ?
Thanx for your help in advance !!
Mike

Mylenium,
thanx again for your input.
Reading your posts - and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong - it seems like the workflow would be:
1. PP for rough cut, then
2. AE for tweaking
3. back to PP for the final cut, export etc., since AE does not have the editing tools needed (transitions etc.)
But, as I did some testing the last two hours it is almost impossible getting PP projects into AE.
I read the manual and tried the following:
a. importing a PP project file into AE via the Import --> File dialog.
I specified only one PP sequence to be imported - it did import all of the footage of the PP project (including the footage that is not needed) and it imported 3 (not one) sequences, including the one I specified.
Besides that, the sequence is unusable - the in & out points of the footage are totally wrong - the transition I applied (dip-to-black) was unavailable.
I re-tried it without transitions but the in & out points of the footage are absolutely wrong.
The sequence deals with two different clips - both used 3 times in the sequence - and the first clip is okay in AE, but the second clip always (at all three points) starts from the start of the original footage.
b. I tried to copy & paste footage from the PP timeline to the AE timeline - which did not work.
As described in the manual, I did save that AE project and I did select the timeline in AE. I tried it through Edit --> Paste (which was unavailable), as well as through Ctrl+V. Did not work.
It seems to me like Dynamic Link is a One-Way-Street, it does work from AE to PP but not the other way around, at least not usable.
I had a thread about this a couple of weeks ago and other users experienced the same results.
I'm thinking about doing the rough cut in AE, the limited editing tools from AE should be okay...
