AE CC 2014/AME CC 2014 Render Problem

I've been having a strange problem with Media Encoder CC 2014 & After Effects CC 2014. If I try to export a comp either through Media Encoder or directly from the After Effects Render Queue then it only exports audio. If I bring the AE Comp into Premiere and export from there either by sending it to Media Encoder or exporting it directly from Premiere then it exports fine and gives me audio and video.

dear rick,
of course you are right. for the actual masters i use motionpng or motionjpg . sometimes cineform. for shorter clips tiff-sequences.
but this does not answer my question. in the current case i have to have "master-like" files (for re-encoding) that are still playable in most players and on most devices. therfore h264.
but actually my question is not about which codec to use for different purposes (had long research- and discussion-sessions about that already).
the question is: why do the seemingly same encoders in ae and ame (quicktime with h264 with qualityslider 0-100) deliver so much different results?
i'm trying to figure out, whats the difference between ae-rendering and ame-rendering. how do i deal with rendersettings (effects, proxies etc) in ame? which one is better to use? and why the fudge is there a difference of 1:10 with the same settings in the different solutions????
thx...

The new CC 2014 Render Filters are not availible

The new CC 2014 Render Filters Flame, Pictureframe and Tree are not availible on my Macbook, the GPU acceleration in activ.

Correct JJ. The ones in the scripted Pattern Fill (v14) usually required 3D support in order to activate it. Not possible on my non-3D Photoshop Mac.
However for some reason they work great in their new location in CC 2014.2 for my Mac. No 3D support necessary.
I think I drew a Lucky Graphics card so to speak. I'll take it.

Render problems

Hi,
I have serious render problems with Premiere CC. I't wont render at all. Crashes down every time with a window saying occurred serious problem...
The file that i've been working on is heavy with AE direct links and above adjustment track.
Im working station is Mac Pro Mac OSX 9.2.
So I assume having this machine Premiere will run smooth.
But on contrary I cant touch my files because it will crash down.
Can anybody have any suggestions that are not exporting all my AE files as movie clips and reedit the whole video again.
Thanks!

I am on Windows, but have a few saved Mac discussions that may help (or, may not... but free to read)

Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

(I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos. When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

After Effects CC 2014 render time problem

Hello Guys
I'm trying to render a comp in After Effects and it's taking to long to render.
I recently upgraded to AE CC 2014 and now i'm using OSX Mavericks.
In the previous hardware and software setup (After Effects CS6), the same comp was taking about 2 hours to render.
Now the render gradually start's slowing down and it doesn't finish...
This is my current machine specs:
Mac Pro 3.5 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
16 Gb Ram
Are you experince the same problem?
Best Regards

I'm on CC2014.0.2

Render problem PPRO 2014 Low-level importer error MPEG (Importer)

A problem I have encountered in PPRO CC, and now encountered in my project rendering with insane consistence. Ctrl-M, export to Adobe Encoder 2014, starts render, 3-5 minutes of problem-less rendering, then render fails with the above error in logs. Close PPRo 2014, close Encoder, reopen, reinitialize, might last longer - 10 mins., fails again. PC, i7, 16Gb RAM, 40Gbs scratch SSD disk, Quadro 2000, on the timeline a mix of Panasonic AF100 and the Lumix assortement (GH1 hacked, GH3), plus 2 GoPro 3, all AVCHD or H.264 files.
Could that be a system configuration glitch? Because I noticed that sometimes it would persistently halt render at one and the same spot, other times it will glide through it like knife through butter but halt later on a clip/inbetween clips that were of the same type. On the other hand, on the busy comb of selected clips on multiple tracks in a multi-camera gig, it is most definitely halting renders. Once I've done rendering bit by bit and have a lineup on one track with an adjustement layer on top across teh whole length of the assembled cadence of clips with a few effects on it - it finishes rendering no matter however long the workarea is, no errors then. What is up? This is driving me crazy, rendering turned into tip-toeing around this problem with the assembly of long programming out of 3-5min pieces of successful renders. Help!

I'm having the same issue here.

Render problem - strange glitches after rendering in new PP 2014.1

Hi there,
I've updated my Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 to 2014.1 and since then all my renders have strange glitches.
Both old (converted) and new projects. It's second day I can't render any usefull file. I've deleted media cache, tried not using any plugins nor effects at all and yet, it still doesn't work properly.

I've found, that happens only when I use lumetri looks in the sequence.
Any idea how to fix this?

After latest CC update in April 2014: Premiere (7.2.2) and After Effects (12.2.1.5) preview / render problems

I have both Pr and Ae previews/playback set to go through a canopus advc-100 feeding external ntsc monitors. After most recent CC update, AE no longer playbacks ram previews through the external monitor and often crashes. Premiere previews and renders only audio with video freezing on first frame in program playback and no playback on external monitors as well as no playhead movement on the timeline. Output-ed mp4 files playback fine with VLC or WMP. When I disable playback through the canopus, all problems go away. I would like to get my playback returned to my external monitors asap. I have completely wiped drives, reinstalled software, upgraded components, all with no luck. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. As a work around, I want to rollback the recent update to Pr 7.2.1 and Ae 12.2.1 to get back in working order until I am confident that Pr 7.2.2 and Ae 12.2.1.5 can once again output through my canopus.

AE 2014 Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously issues

This problem is two fold and I've experienced it for years. Now I'm using a much faster system that is handicapped by not being able to use multiple cores. I had hoped that by now this would just work.
First, when using multiframe rendering AE often hangs attempting to initialize background processes. As often as one RAM previews this can be quite a problem since it grinds all progress to a halt. The solution is often restarting AE. Checking Activity Monitor during this time shows that Adobe QT32 server is non-responsive and a whole line of the AE background rendering processes doing nothing. I have not found a common element in projects that experience this issue, it can happen just with text on a solid.
Secondly, when using multiframe rendering an entire sequence can ram preview, but then disappear as soon as it finishes. Often after this issue the first issue will pop-up.
A little about my setup:
Late 2013 Mac Pro 8-Core
64 GB Ram
2x AMD FirePro D700
OS X 10.9.4
AE CC 2014 Updated to the latest patch
Settings:
52 GB RAM available for AE
Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously - ON
Only for Render Que - OFF
RAM per CPU - 4 GB (problem persists when set to 6 GB)
Until this feature actually works reliably I'll have to go back single frame rendering, which is a bit like owning a Ferrari and having a transmission stuck in first gear.

Photoshop CC 2014, A problem caused the program to stop working

When opening Photoshop CC 2014, I get "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly". Works fine on my home computer but the new one in the office has the error message. I have the latest cloud version of the program. I've updated the AMD/ATI display driver- first from the HP site supporting the Win 7 Pro laptop I'm working on(driver ver.13.2) and then from the AMD site (ver.14.1) I've installed all windows updates. Still get the same message followed by Photoshop closing itself out.
Has windows ever notified anyone of a solution

I think once Windows notified me of a solution (which was to update my video card driver). Most of the time you don't get a direct response, but submitting the report does give the engineers something to work with in order to try to find out what is causing the problem.
Anyway, there are about a million different things that can cause any application to return this generic error message. While you've already covered a couple of the possible solutions, there is still a ton of stuff to try. Since Photoshop is working on one computer but not the other, and knowing that Photoshop is exactly the same between both computers (assuming you are using the same version), then the question really becomes "what is different between the two computers?" Basically, shy of knowing that, we have a ton of general troubleshooting steps to give a shot at:

Macbook Pro Retina 2014 HDMI problems

Hi,
I'm new to the Mac world, so please forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious. I'm trying to connect my new 2014 Macbook Pro Retina to my VGA monitor via a HDMI adaptor. I've used this adaptor without problems on my Lenovo laptop running Ubuntu. However, when I connect it to the Mac, the Macbook display flashes, sometimes I see the display preferences and it correctly identifies the monitor, an old Acer wide-screen, flash up and it flicks between various resolutions and preference options; other times it just flashes and then goes blank (the only way I know to get back from the blank screen is to turn it off and on again). Other times it just flashes and then does nothing, certainly in display preferences I don't see the other monitor and the other monitor is blank.
I know the cable and monitor work, I can understand their being a resolution problem, the monitor is way less capable than the retina screen. So, is there any way to tell the Mac to use extended mode instead of mirror mode from the start?
Can I basically set-up the monitor and then plug it in, so it doesn't have to try and auto detect everything and have a heart attack?
Also, it seems like all the failed attempts have stopped the Mac even trying to figure out what to do. I have deleted the plist files, which I assume are the configuration files so it will try and figure out what to do again, but it just seems to have now succumbed to the fact it doesn't want to work with it.
Any suggestions, very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately the monitor is not available to be selected under Display > Colour. When I have the display properties open, it does flash up a new window with the correct monitor and various resolution settings, but it is not possible to select one or do anything as the display keeps flashing and the cursor keeps jumping to the top left of the screen, then everything goes blank.
The HDMI to VGA adaptor that I use is a CAMAC (not the best in the world I'm sure but has worked solidly with my Lenovo laptop and Unbuntu).
The monitor I'm trying to connect to is a Acer AL1916W (again not a great monitor but has worked flawlessly with every over computer connected to it including the Lenovo with the HDMI adaptor).
The Mac is defiantly recognising the monitor, it just can't seem to decide what to do with it, flashing up display property windows and swapping between settings before giving up and everything goes blank.
Any other suggestions very much appreciated.

MS OFFICE 2014 Converting Problems

I have just bought Adobe XI Pro, I am also using MS OFFICE 2014.
When I save Word file as 2014 format and convert it to PDF , On header & footer section , if there is a picture or shape behind writings, writings are not been shown when converted.
If I print it with Adobe Printer Than no problem. If I save Word file 2010 format and convert to PDF. Than no problem.
Does Acrobat XI Pro or Acrobat Disteller support fully MS OFFICE 2014 or what is the solution ?
I can not change all my word file format to previous one!

Hi Ayhan ,
The latest version of Ms Office is 2013 ,I believe you have typed that mistakenly.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 hangs - Problems with MTS files?

Hello all,
So I've read the other MTS file posts on here about problems importing. I had this issue initially but moved the folder and it worked.
I got into my project and every now and then I would get this lagging, where Premiere Pro would still play, but the cursor would be frozen, and anything I click on wouldn't highlight... can't scroll etc. This seems to happen when the fan in my mac kicks up.
It has gotten to the point now where I can't edit the project at all because this happens about 3 minutes in each time. Works fine for a few, then fan kicks up and everything starts lagging and freezing. What's weird is I found a part on the screen, that if I click it, the screen updates to what I just did. SO WEIRD.
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER PROJECT. And this project isn't even that big. So I highly doubt it's a computer performance issue as I've worked on RED RAW and Prores 4444 files on my macbook pro (which I'm on now) with no issues.
Long story short I've tried about everything, and feel the only solution is to transcode to prores and start all over with the edit (which would be brutal) but I've already completed so much work! Does anybody have experience with this or a work around?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for responding.
I was given a drive with the RAW files on them. I originally just used finder and dragged and dropped into Premiere, since that's what I've always done... but since the issue I'll start using what you mentioned.
Did NOT update the project. Started it on CC 2014.
I tried importing the sequence into a different project and the same issue is occurring. But below I've given more info as to my problems. I'm really concerned I'm going to have to start it all over again. I recently transcoded all files to Prores 422 (hq) in case that's what I need to do. But I'm really hoping there's something I can do to resolve this. Though I have a feeling it's the .MTS files causing issues.
What version of Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro v8.1.0
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
OS X 10.9.5
What kind(s) of source footage?
AVCHD... I went about "show package contents" until revealing the .MTS files.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Editing. Noticed in the beginning, but as the sequence as gotten longer the problem became more persistent, until now it's ALL THE TIME... and the computer fan kicks up right away like it's struggling with playback.
What other software are you running?
Shut down all other programs so Premiere is just running. Still happens. All other projects have been working fine but this is the first with .MTS.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
No.
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
None.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
Yes.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Everything. Screen lags and freezes with anything. It still plays back without interruption, but my cursor won't move, windows won't update, I can't scroll anywhere unless clicking the top part of Premiere (then it magically updates what I did a moment ago).
Help!
