After Effects CS6 Performance issues

Hello all. Well, got three new mac pro 12 core systems all running 65 - 128gigs of ram with Quadra 4000 GPU cards, up to date drivers, up to date AECS6 and dedicated 500 gig solid state drives for global cache. Their all set-up according to Adobe specifications/instructions. And, no we are not working with the ray trace activated in comps.
We have all noticed that performance on some projects is painfully slow. In fact some projects which run fine on an older MacPro with AE CS5.5 creep on the new boxes running CS6. So slo in fact we have had to abort and jump to the older machines to get things done in a timely manner. Simple things like typing text, navigating the GUI and scrubbing the timeline are frustrating. We are not new to mac boxes or After Effects. We have all been using AE since version 4. It also seems like projects with a lot of footage in them or a lot of stills that have higher resolution dpi really seem to bog. Something is definitely wrong here. Soloing doesn't seem to help, reducing resolution doesn't seem to help and have tried about every preference option to free up performance.
If anyone else is experiencing these same issues, I would love to hear about it or possible solutions. The global cache is really nice when all hardware/software is hitting on all cylinders, but something seems a miss. Not getting why there are performance issues on some projects and basic operational uses like text.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

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: ***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.

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. I did so, but when I try and run the patch installer again, it says in app manager that "Update failed. Update could not be applied." 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.

Problem Saving in After Effects CS6

I am currently working on a project in After Effects CS6 that is no more than 40 seconds. Yet, when I try to save the project, After Effects will not respond. As a result, I must force quit the application and restart it. I believe it is a problem with the file because I have worked on different projects instead and they will save with no problem - ones that are much longer than 40 seconds! Not sure if it is a problem with my ram or memory, but I checked both and they all seem like they shouldn't be a result of the problem. Please help.

After Effects CS6 version 11.0.2
I have installed the most recent updates.
Mac OS X Version 10.8.4
Source footage: H.264
There are no error messages.
When this problem occured was whenever I tried to save the project. I was not able to save my changes since.
I have never had a problem with it until now. All my other projects are saving correctly but this one seems to freeze up whenever I do try to save it no matter what change I have addressed.
I currently have Quicktime Player Version 10.2
I do not run any other software but Finder and/or Adobe Bridge CS6 while I am in After Effects.
I have a few plug-ins installed to After Effects but they have not affected any computer performance or created saving issues.
My computer is a MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid 2012. It has a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 processor along with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory/ram. It has Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB and 373.99 free gigs of space. However, I noticed that over 280 of my 750gig hard drive are videos, a majority from After Effects. It would be nice to know how to perform a disc cleanup so I could perhaps solve the problem through that option. I have no external hard drives nor are any connected.
I have no third-party hardware involved.
I am not aware that I am using OpenGL to render my clips.
This problem only occurs when saving my project on this .aep file only!
I have tried emptying my disk and audio cache which has not helped ... I hope I will not have to re-install After Effects because that is the last thing I would want to do.
Hope this information helps ... thanks guys!

FCP After Effects and RAM Issues

Hello,
Recently I have been working on a 1280x720 video project using both FCP 7 and After Effects CS6. I have an early 2011 MBP running 10.6.8 (I'm not a fan of Lion). It's a 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7. I have been having significant lagging issues with playing back videos in AE and eeven more significant playing them in the timeline of FCP. It has made editing a royal pain. Exports also take a long time.
I had 8GB of RAM but last night, expanded to 16GB. Since then, I have noticed no increase in speed at all. Not opening programs. Not opening files, not exporting files, and not playing back in either program. Maybe I am misunderstood as to what the RAM was supposed to accomplish?
My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I need a new Hard Drive? Was the RAM upgrade a waste of money. Maybe someone has some suggested settings for Memory and Cache for the two programs?
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Chris:
To open an application faster, install a faster hard drive. If you go with an SSD drive, you should notice a huge improvement in how quickly your applications launch. If you just upgrade from a 4,800 RPM or 5,400 RPM drive to a 7,200 RPM drive, then you'll see a modest increase in launch time.
To export files faster from AE, you'll want faster processors (assuming you had enough RAM in the first place). AE tells you at the bottom of the application window how much RAM is being used. While you had 8GB of RAM, you might have seen 42% being used. Increasing your RAM to 16GB would only reduce that percentage to 21%. It would not speed up the render. A faster hard drive can help as well, but not as much as faster processors. Switching from a USB2 thumb drive to your internal drive would boost render speeds. Even if you were working at 1920x1080, it's unlikely that you'd need more than 4GB of RAM. If you happend ot be working at really large Composition sizes or have artwork that is really large (like 18MB still images), AE will tell you exaclty how much more RAM you need when it displays an "insuficient memory" dialog box. If that was happening, then you'd want more RAM.
To "speed up" the playback of video, you need storage media that can maintain the sustained data transfer rate of the file being played. (Unfortunately, more RAM doesn't help for this.) 1280x720 rendered to the Animation codec at best quality and at 8 bits per channel requires 3.5Mb per frame (not including audio). At 30 frames per second, you're looking at 105Mb/second. eSATA was recommended earlier and that's a good option; however, you mentioned that you have a 2011 MacBook Pro. As such, you probably have a Thundebolt port. An external Thunderbolt drive should be able to maintain 105Mb/second with overhead to spare. If you have to use your interal drive, switch from the Animation codec to Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 LT. You'll see a good reduction in storage space requirements and your internal drive should be able to maintain the data rate required of APR 422 and APR 422 LT. If you need to have Animation versions of your renders, use Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to convert the rendered Animation movie to a H264 file and then play that when you need to view the video. Also, _always_ be mindful of how full your drive is. The closer the drive gets to being over 85% to 90% of its maximum capacity, the more likely data transfer rates are going to drop (that is, the drive will not perform as fast as it would have otherwise). If you happen to have upgraded to a hybrid drive or SSD drive, you probably won't have to worry about reaching drive capacity (other than worrying about setting overlfow volumes in AE). You can throw the fastest processor available and the most RAM available at a high data transfer rate movie, but if the storage media isn't fast enough then the storage media isn't fast enough.
Regardless of your OS (32bit vs. 64bit; 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.6 or 10.8), all of the above factors apply.
I'm curious, do you really hope that I choke?

AMD FX 8150 problem on After Effects CS6

After effects cs6 detects only 1 core of my 8-core processor. How can I fix this? TIA!
Here's a screenshot.

I'm experiencing very similar problems. When I hit RAM preview it takes between 7 and 30 seconds to start the render process, which is fast once it starts. For large projects this is maddening. I've tried every setting I can think of it has 0 affect on the issue.
I don't expect to get a real solution as over the years I've just learned to live with AE quirks. I'm sure some will want to blame the system which is a 3770k running at (4.4ghz) 32GB RAM, Asus p8z77a-v deluxe board and an nivida GTX 660 2GB hardware enabled (hacked) video card all running on a Samsung SSD. Others apps are lightning fast and even Premiere performs fantastic, but of course as I live in AE it tortures me to no end now.
But no, you are not alone with this. I also get strange behavior at times where dozens of AE windows flash on the task bar for a few seconds before locking in and rendering whatever it is I'm working with. Current settings are NO disk cache, NO render multiple frames. Projects start off smooth with instant previews but when it gets busy with many different clips things get like I've described above. Should mention I work mostly with Canon XF100 footage for HDV projects maybe the codec has an impact.

Will After Effects CS6 support the new EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac?

With this new graphics card out will Adobe/Mac OS X add support for it in AE CS6 for excellerated graphics and ray traced 3D? Also, will Adobe bring back live 3D from Photoshop to AE?

Sorry, should have been more specific. I was referring to this desktop card the Gforce GTX 680 (mac edition) http://www.evga.com/articles/00730/. I just saw a recent article about its release but not sure how long it has been out and not sure what evga is. I'm in the learning phase of all the ins and outs of graphics card compatibility and the manufactures intent. I'm curious about inserting it into my Mac Pro 2010 and getting improved performance along with accelerating my processing in After Effects CS6 since it has an ATI card with no CUDA architecture. Want to beef my RAM too. So I'm wondering if this card is A. Compatible with my machine/OS and B. If Adobe will add it to its list of supported CUDA cards. Again, not sure if this is an Adobe thing or an OS thing, I heard on some tutorial video that Mac OS is part of the issue. I am aware of the current state of limbo Mac Pro users are in with Apple's hiatus from a major update to this line. But even with a major new release my employer won't be in the market for that kind of investment which sucks because I'd like to move to thunderbolt for my video storage. Personally, I'm investing in a MBP with the 650M card which I've done tests with and it beats my Mac Pro with having CUDA. As for 3D layers from Photoshop to AE it is just kind of makes sense as well as being a price point issue. If you can draw and create 3D objects in PS why not be able to animate them in AE? Just like being able to animate AI and PS layers, it should be one big happy Adobe family, no? Why pay for Cinema 4D if I don't need it for everyday advanced 3D work? I do however love the Element plug-in from Video Co-pilot and it works great so that is my solution for now, then 4D if I get into more advanced custom 3D. But still you should be able to make 3D objects in PS and bring them in to AE, it just makes sense.
Thank you for your time!

Adobe After Effects CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem

Hi,
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place - I can't find sections navigation on these forums.
Running Mac OSX 10.8.5
I tried uninstalling AE CS6 and then reinstalling AE CS6 - same issue happened.
AE was working fine until I tried to open it today. It's probably been a couple weeks since I last used it.
I don't know if I'm able to get any help here. It' just an issue I don't know how to troubleshoot.

Todd,
Thank you so much for your help!
I am trying to follow your advice and install AE CS6 through the Creative Cloud application, but it seems that I can only install AE CC through the Creative Cloud application.
The text on this page ( http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-cc-and-cs6-apps.html ) seems to indicate that I can choose a version to download, but when I navigate to the linked download page ( https://creative.adobe.com/products/aftereffects ), I am not given the option to choose which version to download. I can only download AE CC through Creative Cloud.
Below is a screencap of what I see when I am on the download page - this differs from the screencap shown as an example on the page instructing me to go there.

Unable to launch After Effects CS6[Try] after installing (Stopped Working)

Hi
So after installing. I tried to launch AE, then during initialization or loading, it will prompt a message "Has stopped working".
I was able to install AE CS6 and launch it properly on my laptop but I am having difficulties launching it on my desktop.

Here are some workaround/fix I tried to do:
Uninstal and re-install.
Uninstall, clear avery adobe product, remove paths and traces, relaunch, and then re-install.
Same as step 2, with firewall turned off, Anti-virus removed.
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.
