Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on Mac Pro 2013 and Performance

Hi everyone.
I'm planning to jump from my Mac Mini 2011 to some Mac Pro (cylinder) - 4 core or maybe 6 core and I'd like to know from someone who got experience with Ae and rendering/previewing or how smooth work it is on Mac Pro? I can't find any detailed video about performance Adobe Ae+Pr on Mac Pro. Of course I saw a thousand of benchmarks with scores but that doesn't say anything to me. I need to know if those grands are very well spent. I'm quiet afraid of those RAM previewing. Also I saw nice video with man who showed fast rendering on Premiere on Mac Pro. Actually I haven't got any problem even on Mac Mini with premiere - everything was smooth, without lack, delays or something but when I sent some tracks to Ae for stabilising or changes and see the results back in Premiere was a nightmare.
I would like to know what is you opinion and experiences. Thank you very much.
PS: If the Ae will be like that as it is today I have no choice to start with the Final Cut Pro X + Motion

AE is almost all CPU and ram. Your ram preview time will be decided by those specs. The nMPro is not the current best solution for that since that is the previous Ivy-E Platform with DDR3. The X99 Is the current platform ie Haswell E which has DDR4 and the 8 Core CPU's. That would be the better way to go if AE and ram preview is your focus. How ever if you have to go mac then I would not suggest less than the 6 Core and 32GB of ram. The Dual GPU's have no impact on AE since the only acceleration is Ray Tracer and that is Nvidia only.

Setting AEP Documents to Open by Default with Adobe After Effects CC NOT Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on a Mac

I have installed some of the CC 2014 products for testing. Until the rest my department moves from CC to CC 2014 I need to open and create new projects in CC as the CC 2014 AEP's won't open in other versions.
The issue is when I try to change the file association, in the Get Info inspector, from "Adobe After Effects CC.app" to "Adobe After Effects CC 2014.app" and hit "Change All" it always reverts back to CC 2014. I have tried this as an administrator and even when logged in as administrator. It is like Creative Cloud overrides it. You can do one at a time but you cannot set the default.
I would like to "roll back" my file associations for AE and PS to CC but I don't want to uninstall the 2014 versions if possible as I have already install many plug-ins, license keys, scripts, etc. and everything is working fine within the apps. Is it possible?
Thanks for any help.

That makes no sense at all. CC 2014 is available in the Creative Cloud App. Just download it. The system requirements for both are the same. IF CC runs, CC 2014 will.

Why does "Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Quit Unexpectedly" on launch?

I'm currently on a 2012 MacPro OS X 10.9.5 with 2x2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor, 24 GB DDR3.
I uninstalled CS5 in order to download and install Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. I was able to get Photoshop up and running, but I cannot get After Effects to run. Every time I try to open it, I get the message:
"Adobe After Effects CC 2014 quit unexpectedly." So, I uninstalled it, and tried re-downloading it and restarting my machine. Same result.
So, please take a look at my Problem Report below and let me know if you can see any possible solution to this problem. Thanks for any possible help!

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software.

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software. I need to know if this will work on this Mac and or if there is any other After Effects that will work.

The display would not. However, your model does not have a discrete GPU, and the integrated (Intel 3000) would not meet CS6's requirements (any CS6 software) alone.
However:
Standard VRAM:
384 MB
Maximum VRAM:
512 MB*
Details:
Apple reports that "memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 384 MB". *If upgraded to 8 GB of RAM (or more), 512 MB will be reserved for video function.
In other words, you would need to upgrade your RAM to 8 GB. The VRAM (video ram) of the processor can exceed its specifications if you upgrade your memory to 8 GB. In order to run the software, you would have to upgrade your RAM first:

Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro - The performance issue that Adobe don't want us talking about!

In May 2014 I bought a 2013 Mac Pro to help my business with the ever increasing demands video editing was placing on our systems. I was so excited to see how the 12GB of power the AMD D700s would affect my workflow and ability to edit footage seamlessly without delays to the creative process.
However, to my dismay pretty much since starting to work with the system I found that there was an issue with the GPUs, Mac OS and Adobe’s applications. It was first reported by many other users in early 2014 and as yet know one from Adobe has really commented officially on the issue.
Sadly it appears to still be present today and speaking with an Adobe rep confirmed this. Trouble is no one is doing anything about it. My hope is that, if you have watched this video and are experiencing the same issues then please let’s get the comments going, share and like the video and let’s get Adobe, Apple and AMD to pick up this with immediate haste! Thank you.
Below is a video of the problem I have been experiencing. It's a little long but I wanted to give a good account of the problem we are seeing so that someone can help! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help!
Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro GPU Issue - YouTube
Thank you for your time and I'd love someone to help!

Thanks for responding! It's such a pain and I have been chatting to one of Adobe's senior consultants about this and still none the wiser. I have sent my machine off to the retailer as it was still under warranty. Nothing wrong with GPU apparently which is a relief although I kinda wish it had been that as it would have been an easier fix. Adobe told me that working with H.264 is totally possible but if you have a complex sequence with multicam and nested video with effects applied then it will seriously hinder performance. Sadly transcoding to ProRes doesn't seem to help either and they suggested not adding any effects to the nested clips, flattening out the multi cams etc and this has improved things a bit. Sent a sequence to SpeedGrade the other day though and the machine had a fit. FCPX though seems to be working great and has a few advantages over Premiere so I may be making a switch for this type of work until Adobe can sort out this issue. I still feel that the application isn't fully making the most of the GPUs. In fact, I found out that multicam is actually all still on the CPU and that they are trying to implement GPU handling of multicam soon.

Hello I downloaded adobe after effect CS6, but it is not installed and asks to install Adobe Support Advisor. I turn to the site and there wrote: "The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation . " What do I do?

yes, I did that with helping message 3, I'd remove Cs6 only, but it did not help. The message "Failed to initialize the setup program. To identify the problem, download the program Adobe Support Advisor" repeat again =(

Adobe After Effects CC - Trial Version - Mac OS Mavericks 10.9

In the official webpage, it is stated that owner of the trial version of Adobe After Effect cannot use the update that solve the problems with the new OS system.
Anyone of you knows how a trial version owner can start use again After Effect? Shall I wait for the new release 11.0.3?
thanks

Installing Adobe After Effects 5.5 on Mac OS X Yosemite

I am looking into buying Adobe After Effects CS5.5 because of my current budget. I have recently updated to the new Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. So, if I buy this and install it to my computer, brand new and everything, while still on Yosemite, will it actually work, or will I get the white "not allowed" sign on it?

After Effects CS5.5 is not supported on that operating system. After Effects CS6 and later are.

Adobe After Effects CC 2014 don't work with brand new Dell m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 video card

Hello!
I got brand new Dell Precision m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 FireGL V. Premiere and Photoshop works more or less fine, but there is a problem with AFx - software kills videocard (screen goes black for several seconds and then appears this notification - IC454010.gif gif by stumped2 | Photobucket ). After that - AFx hangs on. All the drivers are up to date (tried different AMD drivers - same situation), Windows 7 Pro - up to date, AFx - up to date.
Got small chat with Dell support team and they said - everything must work fine.
So - where is the problem? I spent almost 2.5k euros for this Dell mobile workstation, but right now I`m stuck with this problem. PS - funny fact - my Dell M6800 is on Adobe's hardware performance white paper, but seems that this means nothing

AE uses the GPU for very little. See here: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
Unless you're doing a lot with the ray-traced renderer or third party plugins (like Element 3d), AE won't really use your GPU at all.
And the ray-traced renderer is built on NVIDIA technology so it can never use an AMD card to accelerate it. You'd need an NVIDIA card.
That's probably part of the reason that the AE team has stopped putting any development time towards the ray-traced renderer and are focusing on a more powerful (and less GPU specific) way to do 3d in AE: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects That's right: C4D is included for free with After Effects!
Since you don't have an NVIDIA card, this will actually render faster than the ray-traced renderer too!
