After Effects Issues Scrub/Crash and Memory Issue.

I am sorry if this is redundant. I have Windows XP (SP3) 3 Gb or Ram and adequite hard drive space. When I run After Effects, it loads fine. Import, fine. Scrub timeline. ERROR: Texture too small, GL error, After Effects Crahses.
Then when I render, my ram reaches 60% stops rendering.
I will dl the updates and see if tha fixes it. In the meantime is there anything I should know or any settings I should use to boost performance?
Thanks,
Allan H.B. Martin

Well, for the first error simply turn off OpenGL. Apparently your graphics card is not up to snuff, has a flakey driver or is mis-configured somehow. The second is too generic. When asking such questions, you must provide more info - footages used, target format, effects used etc.. Also have the renderer log more details with the Extra per Frame Info option as well as watching the render status closely (untwirl the details sections to see the current layers/ comps being processed).

K8T Neo2 crashing and memory issues

I bought myself a new PC in late december and have started experiencing some problems with it
Brief system specs:
MSI K8T Neo2
Athlon64 3200
512Mb Samsung PC3200 DDR400
ATI All in wonder radeon 9800 pro
LG DVD writer
Windows XP SP-1
Antec SLK3700BQE case, which came with what I think is an Antec smartpower SL350 PSU
I had two sticks of memory (both the same type), but one of the sticks failed memtest badly so I sent it back and got a working replacement. Both sticks would pass lengthy bouts of memtest on their own, but would fail occasionally if I put both in (It didn't seem to matter if it was in a DDR configuration or not, but I didn't test non DDR pairings as much). I tried turning down the ram speed in the bios, but it didn't seem to help. Any advice on getting this to work would be great.
A much more serious problem I'm having is crashing - The system will ocassionally shut itself down leaving the monitor without a signal. Sometimes I can reset the system, others I have to switch off the power before the system will respond at all again. In the past there was sometimes graphical corruption before the failure, although lately it has just been a black screen. This happens most frequently when working with games using 3D graphics, although infrequently will happen when web browsing. The crashing seems to have become more frequent lately, particularly since a local heat wave. The problem may have become more pronounced when I bought the DVD writer to replace a very old CD-ROM, although its hard to judge because I replaced the bad memory stick at the same time.
According to core center the temperatures seem to run under 50 degrees, but the 12V volatage is listed at only 11.12 to 11.18. Is my PSU the culprit here, or are these symptoms of a different problem?

Your PSU could well be the cause. Can you post its amps at 3,3v / 5v / 12v here? Antec PSU's usually do not have high efficiency (most likely 60-70%), so if the amps are already low and efficiency is too, my guess would be your PSU. It could seriously damage your board, cpu or vid card by the way...
Try solving the mem problem by raising the Vmem by 0.05v or by raising the latencies some (or both)....

After Effects CS5 Demo - Mask error & exporting issue

Hi,
When creating a mask, and "closing the box" for a better word, after letting go of the mouse and moving the mouse pointer elsewhere the mask will follow the pointer and elongate itself along the screen, distorting beyong what was required.
Secondly, I exported a clip to H.264 via Media Encoder. Media encoder didn't show a preview, although selected and the final result was a blank file.
I think there's still work to do on this release. oh, and although you've added Rotobrush, would have been nice to have kept Keylight 1.2, the second most used feature for expediancy.
Regards,
Harrison

regarding Keylight, from "Plug-ins":
"After Effects comes with several third-party plug-ins. These plug-ins are installed by default with the full version of Adobe After Effects software. These plug-ins are not included with the trial version of Adobe After Effects software."
Regarding the other issues, please file a bug report.

After Effects CS5.5 crashes when selecting "Edit in Audition" (0::42)

I was surfing around Adobe TV and watching a few tutorials when I decided to try out the edit in audition feature, except when I pulled up my project and selected "edit in audition" I got this error message:
     After Effects error: crash in progress. Last logged message was: <8136>
     <Dynamiclink> <5> 0000000019A79460
     After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects
     help and support, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/aftereffects. If you still
     can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe technical support (2).
     (0::42)
What I'm trying to import into Audition is really heavily edited and saved as an .aep, but when I do the same with an untouched .mov file it works fine. So maybe it's a limitation of Audition/After Effects? I don't know.
Also, a couple of things have been installed since I started the project, and I read in a thread that might be the problem. But before I go deleting anything I want to make sure the same thing is happening to me.
Aside from this, After Effects works just fine, and so far this is the only error I've gotten.
My setup is
Acer Aspire
Windows 7 64-bit
4GB RAM
Intel i5 processor
Adobe Production Premium

You're probably simply running out of memory to run both programs at the same time and otehr things like compressed audio/ video in the project may complicate matetrs further with hardware acceleration stuff. Not much you can do, most likely beyond the usual advice of making sure all your drivers are up to date...

HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

HELP" error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip

I don't have much to explain this further but After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip. It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip. The only other similar thing is Photoshop CS5 is also doing crashing my Mac when I resize large images. Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do.
I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

Are you running these two program together?
I would think so.OK you are probably running them both as 64 bit that is great that they run 64 bit and can use more RAM and even better they actually do use more RAM.
So the solution is probably more RAM, don't run them to together or lower the expectations of Photoshop and AE.
That way they won't try to use all the RAM to do this work. It will probably do the wrk pretty fast but not as fast if you had more RAM maybe.
Also AE and PS on an iMac, what about your scratch disk. Is it a very fast external drive and how is it connected?
If you don't have a fast internal drive say with at least a 32MB buffer running at 7200rpm then there you go a real contributing ffactor.
To be honest you need both more RAM and a fast start up disk and a fast external scratch.
The new 2TB drives by Seagate run at 7200 rpm and have 64 MB cache which s as important as the rotation. You can possibly make a Raptor an external scratch as well at 300 GB they are probably not arge enough s a start up.
Those are my thoughts.
16 GB of RAM a larger faster internal drive lower the performance and memory setting as well.

New PC for After effects Cs5.5, Cs6 and probably very soon CC

I want to buy a new computer in the folliwng days/weeks.
I use essentially After Effects (also Photoshop, Illustrator and Cinema 4D)
I had planned to buy the following pc configuration:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K (3.4 GHz)
- MB: ASUS P9X79 PRO
- RAM: (32 Go or 64 Go ?) G.Skill RipJaws Z Series 64 Go (8 x 8 Go) DDR3 2133 MHz CL11 (cerrtified by Asus for this MB)
- GPU: Gigabyte GV-N770OC-4GD - GeForce GTX 770 4 Go
- POWER: Be Quiet ! Alimentation Dark Power Pro 10-850W 80PLUS Platinum
- HDD (for OSD and programms): Samsung SSD 840 PRO 512 Go
- HDD (for current project and AE cache): Samsung SSD 840 PRO 512 Go
- Stockage HDD: 2X Seagate Desktop SSHD 2 To
I would to know if I made mistake(s) about this configuration if experienced AE users have suggestions for me ?
Notable relating to:
-1- 32 or 64 GO RAM
-2- GPU choice
-3- CPU choice:
-4- I planned to buy two SDD (Samsung 840 Pro 512 Go): one ofr the OS and one for the current project and the AE cache. Is it useful ?
Could I buy only one SSD (for the OS AND for the current project and the AE cache) ?
I would be happy to get your suggestions or user experience about this configuration.No one ever wants to waste money.
Cheers
Yann

Without knowing anything about your work it is impossible to judge these things specifically. Generally I'd say you are hopelessly overdoing it with the GPU. I don't know a single use case that actually uses 4 GB on any graphics card except for games. Most OpenGL plug-ins in AE are limited to 2 GB and while this of course could change in the future, currently I see no realistic scenario to push it beyond that, because in most cases then the plug-ins will simply crash due to bugs or their internal logic not being able to deal with more VRAM. Likewise you will see zero benefit of this in C4D unless you use a GPU third-party renderer like Octane. C4D's OpenGL performance will collapse on itself long before you have filled all the memory with textures... Similarly, I see no advantage of 64GB RAM over 32GB. I do heavy CAD scenes all the time, but still have enough room left on my systems with 24 and 32GB, respectively. AE won't use that much RAM even with all MP settings at full on most projects as well. Having the fastest CPU is another matter and many functions in AE, PS and C4D are of course pur CPU and will work faster on a faster processor. With regards to the cache stuff, scroll down a few posts and make up your mind...

After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)

After Effects CS4 keeps crapping out on me, and won't allow me to render my projects. I keep getting the message, "After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)"
I'm running a brand new IMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core I7 (which I understand gives me virtually 8 cores), and I have 8 GB of Ram.
I've tried with multi-frame processing enabled, and dissabled and the same thing. When I tried with the mulit-frame enabled I selected allow 4 CPU's Free and allow 6CPU's free, and still the same results. Any help would be greatly apprecicated.
Thanks!

Since you run AE 9, it's probably your footage. Okay, it's the most likely cause, at least. Here's a copy 'n paste response I used to use a LOT on the Creative COW:
Dave's Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVCHD, mp4, mts, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
I'm a Mac guy, so I like to convert to Quicktime movies in the Animation or PNG codecs; both are lossless. I'll

Hi there, same problem here but on a PowerPC.
I just bought AE7 and installed it on my G5 (with then 10.3.7 running on it). Install went fine but the application would not start up.
Thought this might be a good time to clean up and installed fresh new system on this G5, updated it to 10.3.8 and first thing: installed AE7 again.
But: same problem. In fact, all Adobe application will not start up! The icon bounces a little and then nothing but a crash report.
For a moment I thought I had the solution, because I disabled all the "user fonts". Everything worked fine. Then I installed, as before, my Apple applications (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc) and, oh no... same problem over again. The Adobe application will not start up!
Tried to disable all non essential fonts: no cure. This is driving me crazy....
Any suggestions?

After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame/ MeshWarp problem.

Hello,
I am currently working with 17 layers in AE- CC 2014.1.1 (13.1.1) Most of the layers have multiple effects, including the "Mesh Warp,"- which happened to have been freezing my computer constantly. I finally had to change computers... First, I was unable to render these layers, because there is not enough memory space. So I went back to editing. After adding a couple of video layers, I went to play back, and got the above message: "After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame"
I changed my "cache" folder to my external hard drive. I also upped the cache space from 23MB to 50MB. But I am still getting this error.
In terms of the Mesh warp: Once i brought the effect to the video file, and tried to move the grid, I got the rainbow spinny ball. It went away after a while. As soon as I clicked on ANYTHING- i got the wheel again. This continued until I "Forced Quit." I don't know what thats about...
This is the info for the Composition Settings/ computer I am working on. i am trying to give as much information as possible. This is for my Senior Thesis! Can anyone please help me ASAP?
Best,
Julia

What are these layers you're working with? What size? What format? What Codec? What color space?
What happens if you turn on Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously (reserving at least one core for other programs)?
Julia_SpecialEffects wrote:

I assume you mean GB, not MB...
What happens if you save to version 12 and try to work on it there? (If you don't have an older version installed, try it: Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps)
Have you tried rebooting your machine recently? Do other programs/apps//software run normally?

After Effects CC (12.2) and CS6 (11.0.4) updates are available

After Effects CC (12.2) and CS6 (11.0.4) updates are available:
http://adobe.ly/AE_Dec_2013_updates
There are lots of bug fixes and new and changed features in the After Effects CC (12.2) update, and a couple of targeted bug fixes in the After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update.

I have answered my own question. And as embarrassing as it is. I'll leave it up in case someone else is looking for the same answer.
Windows 7 Home Premium only supports up to 16 GB of RAM. I had to buy the Professional version in order to access all 32 GB of the installed RAM.
It's a pretty silly mistake to make, but there you have it.

Updated document about QuickTime errors with After Effects (re: H.264 and hyperthreading)

I just updated "troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, and CS6" with information about hyperthreading and Apple's H.264 encoder.
The gist is that Apple's H.264 exporter component for QuickTime fails when the computer has a large number of CPUs.

No, this applies to any QuickTime H.264 export. You can export H.264 in a QuickTime .mov wrapper out of AME, too, and it will have this problem.
The various H.264 encoding presets (for YouTube, Blu-ray, Vimeo, iPad, etc.) don't use the H.264 QuickTime component, so this isn't relevant to them.
This problem is just relevant to choosing Apple's H.264 as the video codec when choosing QuickTime as a format. This applies to all software that uses QuickTime, by the way, not just Adobe software.
