After Effects CS5.5 and Nvidia 9800GTX

Hi guys,   there's think I'v been thinking about.
I've got a Nvidia 9800GTX and I'm currently using After Effects CS5.5, I know there's a thing that makes you "edit" faster using the power of the GPU (I know that with the Quadro family).  But my question is.  Does my 9800GTX work on AF Cs5.5? Cause I see it slow when rendering... Some people say yes the 9800GTX works, some say no... I really dont know...  The OpenGL works but is no the same right?..
Well, just help please!
Many thanks!!

In After Effects, the type of card doesn't matter much.  It doesn't use it.  Fast processors and a lot of memory are more important.  If you need a good card for other applications, you get it for the other applications.
Open GL acceleration is a bad thing to use for rendering in AE.  It's fine for previewing, but not for rendering.  It doesn't help much.  Most of the time, it hurts rather than helps.  Adobe employees don't use Open GL to accelerate rendering.  This should tell you something about the usefulness of Open GL. 
Since this forum is on Adobe's web site, I am confident that Adobe employees will check in and correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Adobe After Effects CS5 Crash and compatibility problems with Windows 7 64-bit

    Hello,
    I get a lot of crashes of After Effects CS5. I get the message thar Monitor Kernel program stopped responding and recovered.
    I also did a compatibility test and found that After Effects CS5 is not compatible with Windows 7 Premium 64-bit.
    Could you suggest a solution please?
    Thank you

  • My After Effects CS5 crashed and won't restart

    My battery died on my laptop while AF CS5 was running (I thought it was plugged in). It had been running fine up till then.
    When I plugged the machine in and started AF, I got the error message:
    "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <4788> <DynamicLink><5>C\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DynamicLink\CS5|dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
    After clicking on OK, I get the error:
    "After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for Adobe nTechnical Support (2). (0 :: 42)"
    I restarted the machine and AF, but get the same error message. All of the other Production Premium Suite programs still run fine.
    I reinstalled AE CS5 from the CD, but still the same problem.
    I have emailed Adobe, but have not heard back yet. Any Ideas?

    Thank You, Thank You,Thank You!
    I renamed the "Adobe After Effects 10.0-x64 Prefs.txt" file, AE started right up and created a new one.
    Tip -  When I looked for the AppData file in C:\users\user name\ folder, I couldn't find it!  Then I realized that my "show hidden files" setting was turned off in the folder options.
    Thanks Again, the CS5 Production Suite is Awesome!

  • I've just upgraded to  "After Effects CS5.5" and when I render my project there is no video?

    I created a project, RAM preview worked fine, have tried to render and only get audio no video...
    I've also recently upgraded to Lion OS-- could that be an issue?
    Suggestions? Help? All responses much appreciated

    Your post lacks valuable diagnostic information.  You'll find a list on this page.
    Lacking that information, yes: the upgrade to Lion could be the cause of your woes.  You should know that for virtually any application that taxes a computer's resources, as the Adobe applications tend to do, you should avoid a simple upgrade and do a clean install to minimize trouble with them.
    Here is a list of known issues concerning Lion:

  • Nikon D7000 .MOV files in Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5

    I recently upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. Initially Nikon D7000 .MOV files used in previous CS5 Premiere Pro project would not play well in CS5.5. Now .MOV files do work in both PP and AE CS5.5. Here are the steps I followed. Not recommending you follow my steps exactly, just providing info for those that are interested.
    1.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5 and open previous PP CS5 project, convert project to CS5.5 and rename project file as not to replace previous CS5 project file.
    a.       At this point .MOV files do not play in new project or in AE CS5.5
    b.      Close Premiere Pro and After Effect if still running.
    2.       Using Adobe Bridge CS5.5, batch rename;
    a.       Make copies of original files to new folder location while renaming file extension from .MOV to .mpg
    b.      Let Adobe Bridge finish creating all new thumbnail previews.
    c.       Leave Bridge running in background.
    3.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5, let Premiere finish recreating thumbnail previews if needed.
    a.       Attempt to preview existing .MOV file in project. It worked for me.
    b.      Attempt to play sequence containing .MOV files. It worked for me.
    c.       Attempt to play or modify sequence .MOV files in AE CS5.5 via Dynamic Link within Premiere. It worked for me.
    d.      Close Premiere Pro project and AE projects if open.
    4.       Create new Premiere Pro project and sequence
    a.       Import a different Nikon D7000 .MOV file not previously used or renamed.
    b.      Attempt to play this newly imported .MOV file. This worked for me as well.
    c.       The new, previously un-renamed .MOV file also worked in AE CS5.5 for me.
    I will perform additional tests but at the moment Nikon D7000 .MOV files are working for me in CS5.5 after initially performing a batch rename in Bridge CS5.5 from .MOV to .mpg and letting Bridge create preview files. Even .MOV files not renamed now work.
    An example of Nikon D7000 footage edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, After Effects CS5.5, and Sound Booth CS5 can be seen on my blog, http://stevelandonsmyth.typepad.com/steve-landon-smyths-blog/2011/07/my-first-hd -video-shoot-with-nikon-d7000.html

    Hello,
    I see 2 post in this thread from Todd that say they are working on a fix and it should be out soon.  One is from July, the other from August.  It is now Sept 7th and I still see no patches or fixes for any bugs.  I spent 400 dollars on an upgrade, but is this upgrade going to be supported?
    This is making me rethink upgrading to the .5's in the future.
    It is a minor bug to most, but in that sense it should be an easy quick fix. Am I wrong? Is this really a complicated issue?
    I apologize if this comes off like a rant, but thats kinda what it is.  It is not hard to batch rename files, but its a pain to have to relink all those files in PP.

  • PLEASE HELP!! Weird screen glitch in After Effects CS5.5?!? (Windows 7)

         I was editing some videos in the trial of After Effects CS5.5, and I went to render something in full screen (I've been using it for two weeks now, and i've rendered in full screen before) and suddenly a bunch of error messages started popping up,and After Effects closed out. Now every time I open After Effects, its like the screen zooms in: I can't see my taskbar or my tools for after effects, or anything on the edges at all. Production Premiere and everything else works fine, but After Effects is always like this now. I've searched all the help centers, and google, and youtube, and I've found nothing. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling the Master Collection trial but it still came up in full screen.
    PLEASE HELP I only have 12 days left on trial and I'm trying to finish one last video.

    Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't do it, Reboot, Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then re-install AE. If that doesn't work let us know. It's probably your preferences.

  • No Audio In After Effects CS5.5(Even after rendering)

    I currently have the After Effects CS5.5 Trial Version installed. I am running into a bad audio problem. For the first 2 days I have used it, the audio was fine, it played automatically and I didn't even have to render first to get it. Then, the third day, I got on that day and the audio jsut flat out didnt work. I did look it up on the forums and google, and nothing helped. I have tried rendering(with audio), using different video files and clips, and even reinstaling the trial. Nothing worked. The RAM Preview plays sound fine, and when I double-tap "L", the soundwaves do show, and they are accurate when played on the preview. I have tried WMV, AVI, and mp4 files, none of which have worked. I can edit and add effects and import picture and other files fine, but the audio simply doesnt work. I can't get audio by playing it normally.
    I know it is not usual to ask questions about the trial, or to even have them answered, but this is important because I want to buy After Effects CS5.5, and before I do, I need to know if this is a computer problem, or if I did something to mess up the program, or if there is even a way to solve it. I don't want to buy it and realize I can't even use it with audio for some reason.
    P.S. I am fairly new to this, so if you blast me with some complex, in-depth instructions, please try to make it rather simple, or just explain it well.
    Thank You and sorry for the inconvenience,
    Chris Madaras

    >  I can't get audio by playing it normally.
    You said that audio played when you used RAM preview. That is how you play audio.
    See this:
    "FAQ: How can I play or preview sound (audio)?"
    ...and this:
    "FAQ: Why is there no audio (sound) in my output file?"
    Since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you work your way through the materials here:

  • How do I make After Effects CS5.5 preview in full FPS?

    I have After Effects CS5.5 and whenever I put a clip into it and try to play the clip in a preview I get a message in the player that says its playing at a certain frame rate out of the frame rate it should be and then in parentheses (not realtime). How do I fix this because the average FPS I get on a preview is around 9 FPS which for me is unusable a lot of the time.

    To answer your question directly, don't push play!  AE can't play a thing because it was never designed to.  Do a RAM Preview by hitting zero on the numeric keypad.
    And since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
    The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time.  It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
    So how do you get the basics?  You go here: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html.

  • Where can I download After Effects CS5.5?

    I got a new computer because my old one broke so I lost the After Effects CS5.5 and it's the only program I have a code for. I searched on the Adobe site and they only offer CS6. Is there anywhere I could download 5.5 again?
    Thanks.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl the trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you see a dl error page, you didn't follow all 7 steps.

  • Sony NEX-5N AVCHD 2.0 1080p50 and Premiere Pro/After Effects CS5.5

    Hi all,
    I have a new Sony NEX-5N and have shot some test 1080p50 video using it.
    On my quest for some new editing/production software to close the loop I have just downloaded and installed a Trial Version of CS5.5 Production Premium.
    I am able to load my video files into Premiere Pro.
    However, when I attempt to open the Video File in After Effects, I recieve the following Error message:
       After Effects error: '00023.MTS' cannot be imported - this '.mts' file is damaged or unsupported.
    I have tried renaming the extension to .MPG, .M4V, .M2TS all with exactly the same result.
    Perhaps this is a limitation of the Trial Version or perhaps a limitation of After Effects CS5.5.  Is anyone able to advise?
    As extra information I include below the TEXT output from MediaInfo for the file I am able to load into Premiere Pro CS5.5 but not After Effects.
    Thanks.

    You can browse the directory at http://andrew.net.au/~rowan/avchd/ if you need to "right-click" and save as.
    I am hoping it is a limitation of the trial as I have noticed a few other "gotchas" with the trial version.
    Thanks for the advice about video format, I have noticed that my computer (Core 2 Duo) is very slow to process the H.264 stream, PremierePro cannot play the 30sec stream in realtime (starts to stutter around 23sec) and After Effects starts its stutter almost immediately (both just playing the stream with no effects) - that said WindowsMediaPlayer has no problem playing the same stream at full speed.  I am however reluctant to do any transcoding except to a lossless format as it seems counter intuitive - but this will be the subject of another post, as I don't want to clutter this one.
    Thanks again.
