After Effects CS6: Layer Cache Indicators issues

I guess i jumped the guns too soon on the CS6 upgrade (from CS5.5 Production Premium) as I've discovered quite a major issue with one of the selling points of this product.
The issue is with After Effects CS6, as enabling Layer Cache Indicators is not available. You can only select to show the global cache indicators (thats the render blue/green line on top of all the layers), but i really wanted to see the render bar for each of the layers, which was heavily advertized upon release of CS6.
Adobe, you have to fix this asap, release an update. This feature is available in CS5.5 (I've checked) but no where can i find to enable it in CS6.
PLEASE HELP!

Its the Timeline panel menu, that yellow button on the top-right corner within the timeline. That opens up a menu, hold CNTRL + select show cache and the render bars going to appear on each of the layers. This should work for MAC i think.

After Effects CS6 input v source issues......

I have 1080P 25 MXF dnxhd 185 8 bit footage that has been graded in Davinci Resolve. I have outputted the footage as 1080P 25 Quicktime Dnxhd 185 8 bit as After Effects doesnt seem to support MXF.
I imported this footage into AE added neatvideo noise reduction and rendered the output as Quicktime DNXHD 185 1080P 25 with a couple of issues.
The output is blurry where movement happening such as hand gestures, and visually looks interlaced (it isn't Im just describing the look)
Furthermore I viewed both the Source file and AE render in Quicktime player and looked at the inspector for details:
The source data rate read: 185mbits/s
The AE output data rate read: 598.22mbits/s
The output file is much bigger than the input file....
Im wondering why.... as I made all the codec settings consistent with the original. I dont know if this is why the output has gone wrong or ifd its something else, but DnxHD 185 should be 185 mbits shouldnt it?

Use TIFFs. AE doesn't play well with the Avid CoDecs. Adobe blames Avid, Avid blames Adobe. You get the idea... 'nuff said.

After Effects CS6 and CC crash when Composition panel is closed, moved, switched w/ Layer panel, etc

Kind of hard to word the problem in a non-confusing way, but here goes. After Effects CS6 and CC will only work if the Composition panel is in its default spot in the Standard workspace, and that it's the only thing displayed there. No layer or footage panels can be opened - it can only be Comp or nothing.
In other words, AE is 100% certain to crash if:
- The composition panel is closed or moved to another spot in the workspace.
- A file from the project is double-clicked and opened as a layer/footage panel
- Any attempt is made to switch the Standard workspace to another
The crappiest thing about this is that I've searched Google using as many different phrases as I can and haven't found any discussion about this particular problem. It's as if I'm the only one on Earth who is having this issue.
It should be noted that After Effects CS5 does not have this problem on my PC, but I need CS6 or better because that's what we're using at work now. I can't work from home (as I need to do occasionally) if AE won't work properly.
System:
Windows 7 PC, 12GB RAM, Quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.7 Ghz, ATI Radeon HD 6700 series GPU (1GB)

It's not like a regular crash that instantly closes the program and has a "sorry, AE crashed" popup. It basically just freezes until the process is forced to quit.

After Effects CS6 - Initializing Mediacore Issue - More Complex.

Hi, I recently got After Effects CS6, and I have had the program open a few times - when I say a few, I mean 4 or 5, all in the same day, and I was only opening and closing the program to check to see if I'd installed plugins correctly. So, anyway back to the point; I sat and created a 10 second clip for which I was going to use for a YouTube intro. I finished and exported the clip, only to find that after I had saved and closed the program, the clip I had exported was some form of .AVI that had encoded incorrectly (or something similar, this part isn't particularly relevant.) Then when I tried to re-open AE, the program hung at the 'Initializing Mediacore...' section of the loading screen, and it has done for a while now. I have tried restarting, re-installing, removing the 3rd-party plugins, and re-intalling QuickTime. I've been reading all the forums and looked up the issue on YouTube, and all the answers are wrong or lacking information about my issue. Every working answer I find is either about about a Mac issue, or any Windows issue keeps mentioning these 3 programs; Adobe QT32 Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, and PProHeadless.exe, none of which I have.
I run a 64-bit, Windows 7, Acer Aspire with 4 GB of RAM. Any helpful - emphasis on the helpful there - information will be greatly accepted.
Cheers.

The executables are in the program directories. Still, none of that is probably relevant. Something is damaging your media cache and/or blocking those services from even launching, which takes us back to basic trobleshooting steps which are:
Run as admin
Turn off security tools
Verify file and folder permissions on the temp and user directories
Cehck drive integrity and health

After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem

After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem
I am having trouble getting my footage to update in an AE project.
In an existing project, there is an image sequence in a composition. I have saved and closed AE, modified the footage (same dimensions and qty. of frames, only the pixel data changes), and then re-launched AE and opened the project. Though I have changed the footage, the old content still appears.
To resolve this, I have done the following:
Edit>Purge>All Memory
Edit>Purge>Image Cache Memory
Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Empty Disk Cache
Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Clean Database & Cache
From the Project window I've selected all footage and selected Reload
None of these got the footage to update. I could double-click on the footage in the project bin and scrub the play head and the old footage was still displayed.
Finally I had to replace the footage with itself and that resolved the issue.
If this is operator error, lack of understanding the cache functions, or something else, I'd appreciate some assistance. I don't recall this behavior in CS 5.5, so I am guessing this is a change in CS 6.

about Illustrator and Photoshop files in CS6 especially - you should work with Ctrl/Cmd+E (Edit Original).
when in Ae and you want to change a source file, use this command on one of the layers
from the source file you wish to change (doesn't matter if its in the timeline or project window) and
your original software linked to that file will open.
when you work this way you make AE reload that file and any change after that will be seen back in AE immediately.
it is also very convenient way to work because there can be no confusion on which file you are on
if you work with multiple source files for example.
even if you made the change with your Photoshop/Illustrator opened file and got back to Ae
and didn't see any change - press on one of the layers Ctrl/Cmd+E and this will refresh it immediately.
This is the case in CS6.
in CC I have noticed that any change I make is refreshed immediately in Ae as if it rechecks the changes all the time,
and didn't even need to use Ctrl/Cmd+E but it's a good habit all the same.
didn't come across a case where that didn't work for be but
if all fails you could always change the folder location of the file, let Ae lose it, then replace footage of the file,
and thus let Ae re-link it back.

Can anyone tell me where the default location is for the disc cache in After Effects CS6?

I recently changed the location of the disc cache in After Effects CS6 but I failed to empty the cache before changing the location and I need to delete all of the old cached files. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS.
Thanks in advance!

Desperately need help ASAP!!! Issue with installing After effects CS6 trial version

I downloaded the After Effects CS6 trial, but when I tried to run the patch installer, it told me to download adobe app manager.

Please, I have really important work that I need to do, and I just cant get this thing to work. PLEASE HELP

it says I need to update, but when I click on updates within aam, it just says "you're good! No new updates" Is there somewhere specific I need to go to update? Because the only options I have are all & Updates :/

Adobe After Effects CS6 (Creative Cloud) issue

Hello everyone,
One of my colleagues approached me with a problem today regarding After Effects CS6. Whenever she inserts a video the upper half turns black, while the other half is being showed properly. When the video is being played outside of AE the video is being showed properly. When she does render this video, the rendered video will include the black half. The picture shown below is an example of how it looks:
I updated the videodrivers just to be safe, but that did not help either. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!

After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

Hi everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
• 6GB reserved for other applications
• Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
• After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
• Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
• CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
• RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
• Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
I've since tried -
Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
Lots of combinations.
But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
The chose Edit > Purge > All
And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

After Effects CS6 - Very slow workflow

Hi everyone, my first writing in adobe forums. I've contacted 3 adobe support agents, but I didn't get much help from them. Recently I switched from PC to Mac Pro, having Adobe Production Premium 5.5 for Windows and now upgraded to Adobe Production Premium 6.
First I tried a trial of After Effects CC and I was surprised how slow it is. Now I'm using AE CS6 full version and it's a bit better, but still pretty dang slow. (The video I made for adobe support explaining the problem is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jsZZpH0vYU )
To try to cut long story short. In the video adove, I've created couple of text layers and couple of shape layers. Made them 3D. Added a camera too. When I move the camera, everything is refreshing extremly slow. It's like you're having 100 3D layers and very busy scene,
and actually it's few most simplest 3D layers. The agents from adobe support told me to switch to half rez, or draft mode etc. But the problem is, I do not want to work in half rey, draft mode or something similar, with my configuration it should work pretty normal. Never
had these kind of problems in AE CS5.5. I tried everything, updated the software, updated my Mac OS, disabled global cache, even disabled multiprocessing etc. Btw, rendering is okay.
Is this the way CS6 is made? Is it supposed to be slow? Because, literally I got an answer from the agent that AECS6 is designed like that, in other words, to be slow
I really have no idea anymore how to make this work. I would like to get back to my lovely 5.5, but I only have license for Windows. If you guys could help me, I would really appriciate that.
I use:
* Mac Pro
* 2 x 2,4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
* 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
* ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB
* 2TB HDD
* 2 x Apple LED Cinema Display 27"
* After Effects CS6 - 11.0.2.11
* Mac OS X 10.8.4
* I haven't had this problems ever before (using ae for quite some time)
* At the moment no 3rd party plugins installed
Thanks!
Mirza

You'll have to get used to creating Ram Previews and using AE's interface in the right way. You should really go through the getting started materials on the home page and take a look at the FAQ. AE is a layer based pixel calculating beast that will do a lot more to a movie at 60 frames per second than Photoshop will do on to a still image. After Effects is essentially Photoshop for movies with a lot more options.
If you want to smoothly drag through the timeline and playback multiple cuts with simple transitions and two or three layers then use Premiere Pro. If you need to use 20 layers and 60 effects to create a stunning composite or motion graphics effect then you're stuck with rendering at just about any price point.

Run installation with Administrator rights.
Launch program via Compatibility settines Vista, Vista SP1, Vista SP2, Windows 7
All drivers are updated and reupdated.
Re-installed all GPU drivers.
Refreshed my Wndows 8 OS.
Reformated my Windows 8 OS then Installed AE cs6.
Installed AE on my F drive instead of C [C drive is an SSD and F Drive is an HDD]
I am able to see the AE CS6 splash screen but it will prompt a message "Has Stopped Working".
Other things to take note:
I am able to launch Renderer Machine without any issues.
I am also able to launch other Adobe Products that came along with AE CS6 try version.
Latest Quicktime version is installed.

Hi Todd,
Thanks you for replying.
After updating to 11.0.2, I am still unable to launch AE CS6.

Adobe After Effects CS6 keeps crashing before it even starts

So like a year ago I purchased adobe after effects. I used it almost every day till about 2 months ago till I started using another video editing program. So for 2 months I did not open AE. Today I felt like using it because I felt it would do a better job that sony vegas so I tried to open it. It brought up the purple icon and it gave me an error. ''After Effects error:Crash in progress. Last logged message was (number here changes every time i do it) <dynamiclink> <5> c:/program files/adobe/adobe after effects cs6/support files/32/dynamiclinkmanger.exe. after this messege it just automatically exits after saying it crashed. I really need it to work since my final for college depends on it. I tried to uninstall it several times with numerous programs but none work. Whats wrong? how do i fix it ? is their a file or something missing? i looked on updates on adobe bridge and it said i was up to date. In addition i manualy tried to download an update and when i tried to open the update file it would open up af and display the same messege. any suggestions welcomed. thanks

The short version is that you either have changed your graphics setup, messed up your CoDecs, done something weird to your media cache or have permissions/ security issues or whatever. Since you failed to provide any system information we can't be any more specific.

Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved. If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

Hi Rick and Greg,
Thanks for the quick responses. Below are all the details to all your questions. Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast. It is not the rendering. It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
FREE MEMORY:
This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
3RD-PARTY CODECS:
I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system. I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
DISC CACHE:
My Disc Cache is enabled
My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
MPEG SOURCE FILES:
If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
MULTIPROCESSING
Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
Here are some additional observations that might help:
It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process. The problem is NOT with the rendering. The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
Thanks again for all your helpful responses!
