After Effects CC: Different Type of Waveform Display ?

Hello Everyone,
I would like to change the Waveform DISPLAY in AE:
1 - I need to have a display like this:
2 - Because right now, my actual Waveform shows like this:
I've check everywhere on After Effects... Google, Forums & Youtube... and I couldn't find the answer...
In advance, thank you for your Help & Support!

When I "Import" wav or mp3 files either Stereo or Mono... my Waveform wouldn't change his Display:
But finally, I've found the Answer.
Go to the Panel Section and Click:
Deselect or Uncheck -> Rectified Audio Waveforms
This is the result!!!

After Effects CC Initializing Type Engine lockup

Hello, the issue I am dealing with is as such; After Effects CC reaches Initializing Type Engine and always freezes. I have tried different solutions for hours now and have only found one solution that consistently works. If I log out of Creative Cloud, the program functions fine (as it would seem. I would have to test it to make sure.) Anyone know how to get CC to cooperate?

Check your fonts. You probably have one that is corrupt.

After Effects CC - Music Length / (Audio)Waveform

My friend has a problem:
When he have a Composition which goes 00:07 and he'll import Musik which goes 04:43, than the music is cutted to 00:07! And he can't here something when he do the Ram-Preview.
Further when he activate the Waveform, he can't see the Audio-Wave!
So, what can he do? What do he wrong?
(Sorry for bad english I'm german)
Thanks!
IcySkill

Open the compensation settings and change the length of the composition to match the length of the audio.
Open the After Effects preferences and change the length of the audio preview.
With the layer selected press the L key twice to reveal the audio waveform.

After Effects CS6 Crashing on Start up - Invalid Type Conversion

Hi Guys,
I just installed Adobe After Effects CS6 - along with photoshop, indesign and illustrator, all of which are working fine.
When I start After Effects up it goes until it gets to Initializing User Interface. There it stops and I get the message - After Effects warning: Invalid type conversion.
What does this mean? How can I fix it?
I am running Windows 7, if you need any more system info please let me know. Im a bit of a newbie

I have Windows 7 64, quad core, 8gb DDR3 ram, nvidia gtx460se card. I found a way to work around it: I had my computer set to 16 bit; when I set it back to 32 bit it worked fine. If AE is up and I set the computer back to 16 bit, sometimes a message pops up that says 'After Effects warning: A problem occurred when processing Open GL commands'. I can get it to happen whenever I switch from the footage window to the composition window.

I just downloaded After Effects CC and I receive an error when opening

The complete error is:
I have just downloaded a After Effects CC and when opening it displays 'Last log message was: <140735240356624> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir =
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Adobe After Effects CC.app/Contents/Required.
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.'
Does anyone know how to fix this, I've been checking different discussions and people says its a Plugin error but I have just downloaded the new version and no plugin added.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks, Juan Jose.

System info? How did you donload? Did you log-in to Creative Cloud?

Rendering twixtor in after effects

Hello, I am using the twixtor plugin in after effects. The RAM preview that displays is smooth, however, when I render the video, and i have tried several times with different settings, the playback is choppy. It appears that the media player cannot continuously play the video because the time cursor actually stops when the video does, causing the choppy playback. The video is about a minute long, but it rendered to be 10.2GB somehow. Is the large size the problem? Should I let After Effects guess how to interperate the footage? I have read on one somewhat related forum that it is a graphics card issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest you have a look at this.

How do I make After Effects files in Windows 7 open in AE CS5 instead of the default CS5.5?

I have AE 5.5 and 5 installed on a Windows 7 machine and I'd like .AEP files open in CS5 by default.
I've tried using windows explorer to specify using the CS5 program but it defaults back to CS5.5
I've tried using Bridge CS5 and CS5.5 Edit/Preferences/File Type Associations but After Effects isn't even listed for some reason.
The only way I can open files in CS5 is by opening CS5 and opening the files from there. Trouble is I have more CS5 files than CS5.5 and I collaborate with several other artists only running CS5 so converting them to CS5.5 isn't an option right now.
Any ideas?
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Chris

Nah, won't work. You would have to completeley erase the "After Effects Project" file type from your file associtaions and then literally rebuild it from scratch. Yes, that means heavy surgery by digging into the Registry and its HKEY_CASSES_ROOT branch as just removing it from the Explorer file associations still leaves the file type class in place. Long answer short: Just leave things as they are and keep your work organized. I never use double-clicking and I'm juggling versions from CS4 to CS6 every day, so it's possible.

Premiere to After Effects CS5 - lost transitions and other stuff....

Hi guys,
We are learning this stuff by using the 'hammer to the head' method...
Premiere CS5 to After Effects CS5 'replace with after effects composition' method loses the trasitions that were placed in Premiere. They don't show in the After Effects composition. Fine.
So, doing the all the effects and Magic Bullet effects in the footage and then doing a multi-machine render to a PNG sequence is fine. Then, instead of using Media Encoder to assemble the PNG footage back to an AVI to re-import to Premiere, it's FAR faster to have after effects re-assemble the PNG to an AVI. Here's where the 'weirdness' comes in. We import the newly assembled AVI-PNG sequence to Premiere and CAN"T ADD transitions to the AVI file. We will put in the cuts where we want it and it doesn't work! HUH? Here's where things go really sideways...If we assemble the same PNG sequence using the ultra-slow Media encoder, we can then do transitions in Premiere. WHAT! I don't get it. What is After effects doing differently than Media encoder to put it all back together?
Sorry for the 'frustration', but man, what is goin on?
Thanks again for everyone's time.
Jason

See my reply in your other thread. Re-reading this post I do get the impression, though, that you are messing up the frame rates somehow and thus run into problems...

Why resolution will change in After Effect?

Would you please help me? I have problem with imported files in After Effect, the file resolution in After Effect is different from source file.
I am editing an NTSC video file in Edius, the resolution is 720x480-widescreen16:9 and aspect ratio is 1:2, I exported part of clip with exactly same feature but when I imported video in After Effect, the resolution and Aspect ratio changed, right now the resolution in After Effect is 856x480 and aspect ratio is 1:00, I dont know why it changed.
The video format I chose in Edius was Canopus DV AVI, could it be the reason? Should I use another format?
Can anybody help me? What is the problem? How can I solve it?
I appreciate any help in advance.

You should separate fields if the video is interlaced. You may either work in a square pixel comp or a rectangular pixel comp. AE will handle all PAR correction internally without problems as long as the footage is properly interpreted.
For render, if you are going back to canopus for editing you should render with the same frame size and specs as the footage. You may choose to interlace the output if you desire. I presonally haven't rendered anything as interlaced for years. I used to shoot film and I hate the look, but it's a matter of choice.
I'm not sure what you're referring to as the interlacing problem. This is the first that I've heard of that. If you mean that the footage looks interlaced in AE then that's probably the case. If you separate fields properly then there should be no interlacing problem. Interlacing has nothing to do with pixel aspect ratio.
Interlacing does have something to do with comp size if your footage is a different size vertically. For example, if you put NTSC DV footage which contains 480 scan lines (480 pixels high) in a D1 comp 486 scan lines (486 pixels high) and you don't separate fields in that footage, then you render introducing fields in the proper order for your D1 capture solution, the field order in the original footage will be reversed. The solution there is to move the footage down 1 pixel. This is kind of a mute point anyway because if you're moving video around in the frame, scaling it, or rotating it in any way you should be separating fields on all interlaced footage. There's no exception to that rule.

How can I choose powerful system for After Effect?

Hi
Would you please help me? I want to buy new system for working with After Effect CS3, I dont want to buy turnkey station, I want to build it myself.

And what Graphic card should I use to see output in TV.
I appreciate any help in advance.

The Mac Pro's are pretty killer for AE. On a Winbox, you simply get the
best processor(s) you can afford, max out the memory, get a good board
like ASUS or a Tyan if your really into finnicky thoroughbreds. The Vid
card will have little to do with AE, so research that on its own merits.

After Effects Crash on Loading Screen

As I open After Effects, the purple loading screen appears and it appears to be loading. As it starts to say 'Cleaning Up', a warning message appears. It says: "After Effects Warning: Invalid type conversion". After this pop-up disappears, another comes up saying: "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <3256> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context". It then asks me to go to Adobe help. I don't know why it keeps crashing. Help please! (THIS IS ON A WINDOWS 7 PC, RUNNING AN INTEL i7 PROCESSOR, ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS v.12.2.1)

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

Unavoidable lag in After Effects

After Effects CS6 is experiencing tremendous lag for me on 2 computers. It makes it very difficult and time-consuming to get work done at all.
Both of my computers are iMacs - the first one is the 2010 model with Snow Leopard installed, 4gb of RAM; the second is the latest model (just purchased) with Mavericks installed, 8gb of RAM. For both iMacs, it only takes a very small amount of footage, effects, etc. to get it to start slowing down. I usually work on the newer one for all work-related projects, but if I'm working on something as simple as a 5 minute long .mov with no effects applied to it, I have to keep the RAM preview at quarter quality and still have to wait around 10-15 seconds for it to render a single frame. Then I have to cut down my work time to just an hour or two to prevent my machine from overheating itself.
I often like to use the paint effect to add details to my projects. I've noticed that on my new iMac, applying about 30 paint strokes on a white solid and then waiting for about a minute will cause After Effects to bring up the error message "unable to allocate memory", so I have to shut the program down. None of my other programs do this. I've used everything from Photoshop to Maya to even Minecraft with little to no RAM trouble whatsoever, but After Effects is different. It's as if it has zero tolerance for even the slightest hint of using up memory.

I updated to 11.0.4 as suggested. So far I have not noticed a great change in the render speed, but I'll keep testing it out to see what it can handle.
The paint engine in After Effects being dated is strange to me because it didn't always lag the way it does now. On my same computer about a year ago I made an empty composition (2000x1200) in which I used over 1,000 paint strokes for a single frame for 5 frames, and only on the fifth frame did it START to lag like it does now. It just started "acting up" a few months ago and has never changed back.
16 gbs of RAM may be ideal for using After Effects properly, but even so - a crisp, brand new iMac with 8 gbs should at least work decently. But for me, it works worse than my older computer.

Imported song into After Effects CS6 and won't fully render.

I imported a song into After Effects CS6 to use audio waveforms. I click RAM preview but it won't render or play past 18 seconds. What am I doing wrong and how do I render the entire audio track so it will actually play all the way through with the effects on it.

Ram preview length is determined by the amount of available ram. It is also usually limited to the work area. Either lower the resolution of the comp window or extend the work area.
Please read the FAQ section at the top of the forum. You'll have your answer there.
