After Effects - Problems with rendering - please help :(

Hello everybody,
i am sorry about my bad english, but i hope    you can help me somehow. I pruchased the Productions Pro Premium from Adobe some time ago.
I created some Layers in Photoshop CS4 and animated them    in After Effects CS4. After that, i rendered a raw file out and imported it    back into After Effects CS4 to save render and preview time. Then the    problems started... my After Effects became laggy and didnt respond for    3-4Seconds. After starting rendering, my PC waited for 10-20 minutes until he    started to render... and longer and later i unchecked the box Write XMP data    in the render settings and the problem has gone. Do you know what i did    wong or why that happens? It has something to do with my losless rendered    .Avis and XMP Metadata... the strange thing is, that this doesnt happens always and with every clips, but maybe there is an anwser for me...
I got a W7 Os and my PC is very strong with    an i7 cpu and 6gbs of ram..
I hope you can help me..
Best    Regards

I've finally gotten around to answering you mail, so let's stick with that.

After Effects problem with clone stamp tool

Hi,
I've been using clone stamp tool in Photoshop for years and has no problem with it. But somehow I could never get it work on After Effects. After alt+click to select source I can then click (and hold left mouse button), rub and change the target area as expected but as soon as I let go the mouse button the target area reverts back to original.
What did I do wrong?
thanks.

First question that I have for you is did you look in the help files?. Simply type clone stamp in the search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the application frame it you will find all kinds of information. There are a few good tutorials linked directly from the help file. After Effects Help | Paint tools: Brush, Clone Stamp, and Eraser
Because After Effects works with video you have to make sure you have the correct options for your clone stamp or your paint tool selected and you are working in the correct window. It is not so much that the clone stamp is not working, it is just that you probably do not have it set up correctly.

After Effects Error 5070 :: 2 Please Help !

Hi,
My computer:
2011 iMac 27“, 3.4 Ghz, 32 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M + 2 x 24“ Cinema Displays
My problem:
1- In After Effects when I try to enable Ray-Traced 3D I get error 5070 :: 2 (see screenshot 1)
2- I updated the CUDA drivers to version 5.5.47 (see screenshot 2)
3- After Effects quits unexpectedly and I get an After Effects Alert (see screenshot 3)
Please help I can't open AE anymore!!!

Now I get this message and Ray-Tracing is really slow...
What is the deal with CUDA? I read that it doesn't work well with ATI cards so why does AfterEffects ask me to install the drivers? If I do, it crashes on startup...
Can someone please help me with this, I don't get why AfterEffects can't use my ATI GPU and asks me to install drivers that make it crash...
After Effects is not asking you to install a driver that makes it crash. It is telling you that you need a specific kind of card WITH a specific driver installed. You need both things. The message could have been worded better though.
CUDA is NVIDIA technology. After Effects uses NVIDIA's proprietary technology to speed up the ray-traced renderer. You can't use that technology without an NVIDIA card.
You have three choices.
Check the radio button so that you don't see that warning ever again and live with the slow rendering of the ray-traced renderer.
Install an NVIDIA card that fits the specs requried.
Don't use the ray-traced rendering at all. There are much better options. Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, and Zaxwerks 3d Invigorator are three very good choices for quick-rendering 3d in After Effects. Also, if you have After Effects CC, you can use Cinema 4d that comes with AE for all your 3d work.
I would suggest option 3. The ray-traced renderer, even when accelerated, is not a very good option for 3d in AE. That's why the AE team decided to integrate heavily with Cinema 4D in the latest version of After Effects.

After Effects Freezes on Rendering, NEED HELP

Hey everyone. So I'm on the verge of tears because After Effects CS5 is having a huge lag in rendering. I recently installed the whole CS5 Master Collection, and I found there was a slight lag in opening it, updating the preferences, and even closing out of the program. But didn't think anything of it. Often times I've gotten hung up on the beach ball of death.
I went for the first time to render things, which an identical comp in AE CS4 rendered out lightening fast, but in CS5 the same comp took about 5 minutes of sitting on the beach ball before it even started rendering and then another 5 minutes of more beach ball fun to finally finish. I'm on a Mac and my system stats are as follows:
Processor: 2x3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 18 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
OSX 10.5.8
After Effects CS5 10.0.1.19
I thought it was some type of DivX issue, and deleted anything relating to that, but it didn't help. Whatever help anybody could provide as to the culprit would be appreciative. It's got me pretty freaked out...

So it seems like a combination of turning off OpenGL and Multiprocessing seemed to do the trick. Have one or the other on seemed to cause the freeze-ups.
I'd like to ask if this is a problem just isolated to OS X 10.5.8 or not?I've always had Multiprocessing on since CS4, why turn it off now, did having it on to begin with help at all for renders? Now that it's off and OpenGL, will that adversely affect anything i.e. increasing render times etc?
Why have two options available if it's going to lead to problems, and people have to end up turning them off?
For what it's worth, I've included screenshots of my own computer's info and the selections when multi-processing are on in AE CS5.

After Effects problems with Premiere

This is driving me INSANE. Im using Adobe CS4. In after effects everything works perfect. I then go into Premiere and import an After Effects file, put it on the timeline and everything is fine. I then add a key for adjusting the alpha and the preview image goes black. I erase the key (alpha at 100% of course) and it appears in the preview window again. This isnt specific to this project either. It happens with any after effects file imported into premiere (I've tried about 10 totally different project files). I ALSO have this problem on my laptop computer. My 3rd computer however, I do not have this problem.
If I overlap any 2 after effects files within premiere same problem, screen goes black. I tried rendering the video and the video also renders all black in any format...mpeg2, mpeg1, avi, quicktime.
If I press the play button with in Premiere all of the blacked areas are then visible. Press stop and they go black again.
My computer is a Boxx with Windoes XP x64 edition with a Quadro FX 4800 graphics card. My laptop that also has these same problems is also 64 bit but with Windows 7 with 2 Radeon HD 4850 cards. The computer that I dont have these problems on is a x32 edition windows XP.
I've problem solved this for days now with no solution and nothing I can find in these forums is related. Does windows x64 and Adobe have issues working together?

Problem was my default settings in After Effects had the pixel aspect ratio off from premieres' or that some files differed from others in their aspect ratio. I set it to a default setting and everything is now working. Still seems funny this would cause it to not work, but whatever.
I'd like to thank myself for all the help and support I offered myself.

Lenovo S205 & Windows 7 64bit. Problems with graphics, please help

Hi,
I recently bought a Lenovo s205:
AMD E-350
It came with 1GB but I upgraded it to 4Gb RAM (1333 running at 1066)
Windows 7 64 Ultimate.
I have tried also Windows 7 32 (Professional, ultimate) and all versions give me the same problem, I will explain here:
I have tried in AHCI mode and IDE mode from the bios and done fresh installs of Windows. Still the same.
After installing all the drivers, I get randomly in different programs "black" or sometimes "white" menus. Whenever I set the cursor on the menu (White or black part), the letters start showing up.
On Firefox for example, it happened where you write the address (Ex: www..) And when searching images too.
I have tried the original drivers that the Lenovo's website has for the S205 and the latest from Ati/AMD and nothing solves the problem.
What can this be? Faulty ram? Faulty OS? Problem with the graphic card drivers?
Please help, it is so frustrating.
Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for your help.
I will try capturing some screenshots if that helps.
I can discard the problem with the ram at the moment. I have tried a new set of ram (two 2gb modules = 4gb in total). The problem persists, even when they are tried individually. I also tried the original ram module the Lenovo came with (1module of 1gb), alone. Problem persists too.
However, I do not have a problem trying the VGA output. Will this help too? As I do not have any screen with HDMI at the moment.
What I will do too, is to try a Windows 7 from another disc, a Home version 32 bit. I hope this can get the problem fixed.
The main issue is that I bought this computer from Germany (From a store on eBay) and came with DOS. I will have to return it to the seller, I assume, if the rest fails to show any improvements.
Thank you for your reply and any more suggestions are welcome.

Another person who has a problem with Flash - Please Help!!

I have a Dell Dimension 4700 Intel (R) Pentium (R) - 4 CPU 2.80 GHz 2.79 GHz 504 MB of RAM
For a few years now I would have to restore the computer to an earlier time after an update was done in order to view youtube, etc. It seemed that when my computer did an automatic update it would mess up the flash player.
My husband just recently did another update and now the flash isn't working and the computer won't restore anymore.
I keep getting the following messages: adobe flash player active x set up failed to install 19166
program error: failed to register status installation complete
I have uninstalled and installed the flash several times
everytime i go to install flash it says: Adobe Flash Player 10: This application has been downloaded before. Reload?
Then I get: Your security settings do not allow websites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer.
I don't want to take this somewhere because I have a feeling that will just wipe the computer clean and I have a feeling it is something stupid that I'm not doing.
Please Help.

OK...Check, check...did all that. I am cutting and pasting a segment from the flash troubleshooting page because its exactly what is happening to me. There were no responses to help this person.
"I've tried installing flash player 9 but am not able to do so. It will begin installing but when it gets to 'items remaining: 4' the progress bar continues to move and underneath says searching but nothing happens. I tried leaving it on all night but same thing when I came back in the morning. When I close the installer it then says 'stopping now may result in an incomplete set of software' Also, when I tried uninstalling previous versions, the uninstaller does nothing. It says 'items uninstalled: 0' and 'processing', but same thing, the thing spins but nothing happens. i tried the other steps given to see if that helped but nothing seems to work."
Here is the page...
http://sdc.shockwave.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&cati d=184&threadid=1267248&enterthread=y#4577694
I tried some of the suggestions above the last two posts. But it looks like my problem is the same as those.
I even tried to post on there but from what I see it looks like I have to have flash to do it...I get the page with the blue lego brick.
I'm pulling my hair out. I didn't realize how much of the internet ran on flash.

Problems with iTunes, please help

Hey:
This is my problem... I just bought and iPod Nano and installed the iTunes software, and at the beginning it was working perfect, then my computer started doing weird stuff every time iTunes was on and it even got me the blue screen of death (I have a PC and my OS is Windows Vista Ultimate) so I had to restart my computer.
After doing it, I cant open iTunes anymore. Each time I do I get first a message that says "iTunes has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the problem.", after that I get a message that says "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if any solution is available."
Then I get a windows that says this:
"Download updates for iTunes
This problem was caused by iTunes. iTunes was created by Apple Inc..
Solution
A newer version of iTunes is available for download that will address this problem. Apple Inc. recommends updating to the latest version of iTunes to take advantage of security and stability improvements.
Go to the Apple Inc. website and install the latest version of iTunes:
Apple Inc."
But Im already running the last version and Ive even desinstalled and installed the software twice. I dont know what else to do and without iTunes, my iPod Nano is worth nothing.

What happens if you try to start Quicktime? Does it work normally? I am guessing that it doesn't, but describe what happens with any error message in full.
I am jumping the gun with the troubleshooting sequence here, but ...
Have installed any of the following - ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, also WinAVI video converter. These are know to cause problems with QUicktime and need to be uninstalled.
ANyway I suggest you do a complete removal of iTunes and associated programs followed by a phased install of QUicktime then iTunes.
Download a new copy of iTunes and the stand alone Quicktime installer:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use the follwing method to remove the programs:
XP
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
Install Quicktime and check if it works, then install iTunes.
Does it work now?
This has been based on the assumption that QUicktime doesn't work, if it is OK here is an iTunes troubleshooting link:

After Effects Configuration Error 5 PLEASE HELP

Hello,
I am on a Mac with 10:9 Mavericks intalled and I cannot get After Effects CC to run without this Configuration Error 5. It happpened on Mountain Lion too. I have spent over 30 hours on the phone with tech support, uninstalling and reinstalling, using the cleaner, setting permissions, running commands in terminal, installing from the root directory and new admins and everything I could find on this forum that would help me. I can't afford to have this happen any longer, my job is on the line. Please does anyone have any advice to get this to work. Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but the Maverick's update changed Adobe preferences folder settings on some systems. Check and set this folder's permissions to read/write for it and all its sub-folders.

6 weeks of problems with Ical- Please help

For 6 weeks now I have been having problem after problem with Mobileme, Ical, and contacts synchronizing with my imac, laptop, and iphone after at least two years of no problems. I have been to the Apple store over 6 times and have had 3-4 hour long chats with Apple technicians and have had 3-4 emails with an advanced technicians. Everyone is quite nice and really seems to be trying to help fix the problems, sadly, this situation is still not resolved. My confidence that Apple knows what is going wrong or knows how to fix it have really taken a hit and I'd ask anyone who has the savvy to help me with this to PLEASE help me out here.
The current situation is:
Cannot log into Mobile me to get my calenders - Apple can't either. We both can log in to idisc, contacts, etc. though all are duplicated 2-3 times.
If you try to sync with the phone, including after re-setting what appears to be a correct calender on to mobileme first, the phone calender will appear completely blank.
Manual sync with the USB works. However, even if you totally wipe the whole iphone and then install just what is on the computer, some appointments are missing on the iphone! I have verified that there are just the correct calenders listed on the imac so the appointments missing on the iphone are part of the calender listed on the imac. (When I wiped the iphone and choose automatic sync, numerous calenders were seen. Part of the reason there were so many calenders at all was part of the problem I initially had and the result of apple technicians trying to fix it!)
I now have. mac and .me mail accounts listed on my iphone despite the fact that the .mac account had been replaced with the .me account of the same name by at least two technicians at the Apple Store and Ichat.
I need help immediately and cannot either wait for Apple or have much confidence they know what is going on.

Yes this has been a nightmare for me and started with duplicate dates, followed by duplicate calenders, and 2 years of lost data, followed by duplicate contacts. I am clear that some of this is the direct result of how I was advised to fix my problems.
I have seen 2-3 people report problems around this same time frame. The techs at apple have denied a system problem from that time but like you it is odd that a system that seemed to work perfectly went wrong at that for at least the two of us and three other people that I know of. I have only reviewed a portion of the posts.
My conclusion is that Apple does not provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding how to interface with ical, syncing with mobile me, or what needs to be backed up even though one is putting one's data on the cloud and 1-3 other devices. Further, the protocols Apple techs use to deal with these kinds of issues seem to be leading to more problems.
I have saved a comprehensive log of my chats with Apple and my interactions with the "genius bar" at Apple that I'd be willing to post here or share via email that shows how this process evolved and what choices were made to remedy the situation.
To briefly illustrate my point consider these things I've learned in the process:
1). Apple does not design all of it's key software with auto back-up like they do with Final Cut, or Intuit does with "Quicken". Apple told me that they expect someone would use the "export" or " back-up iCal" from the file menu. They also said that I had the option of using the utility "back-up" or "Time Machine" if I wanted "auto" back up.
I must admit to feeling pretty stupid about all of this until I remembered that Apple emphasized the automatics of "the cloud" as next step after the "Palm". Even the "Missing Manual" bills it that way. So... I just plugged and played as they say and did not actively make sure that I needed to back Ical up! I also thought that since my iphone backs everything up when you synchronize that everything would be saved. Anyone have any ideas how to get your calender off the iphone back up if the cloud and your computer files are wrong? I've been told that you cannot. I am also a bit unclear about what files need to be backed up if I want to use Time machine or back up to protect my Calenders? Again can't they just say so?
2). It has come to my attention after talking to 4 different Apple reps that the Itunes interface is a bit unclear. I was told that IF YOU USE MOBILE ME, YOU CANNOT HAVE THE SYNC BOXEXS CHECKED FOR ICAL, MAIL,CONTACTS, OR YOU WILL HAVE DUPLICATE ENTRIES. I am not sure if this is true or what started the whole problem. It does kind of make sense given there are Mobile me options in the system prefs for what to do with them as well.
Apple should have told me the above after they tried to resolve this duplicate problem last December by resetting my mobile me with my laptop, deleting and reinstalling my account on my phone and syncing with Mobile me. If they had, I would not have had the duplicate entries and as well as accounts a few weeks later. I also would not have tried using the same method to re-fix the problem leading to all my calenders prior to mid December being destroyed!
Why wasn't that warning in the itunes sync dialogue box to begin with?

Adobe After Effects (CS2) Question. Please Help!!!

Hi All,
I use Adobe After Effects CS2 and I am currently trying to make a still 2D Photoshop CS2 Image, into a 3D Short Movie (7 Seconds or so) on After Effects. However, when I import my Photoshop Image into After Effects, it only has a time duration of 2 Frames (0.2 Seconds I think?). I need this duration of time for the picture increased (as it is a still picture movie) but I'm not sure how to do it after fiddling around with my After Effects for about 2 - 3 Hours. I need to be able to put the time duration of my picture so it is able to be showing up on screen for about 15 Seconds. Also, how to you add 3D Text onto an After Effects picture? (In the movie). I really need help with this as I want this After Effects Film to be completed ASAP!!!
Any help would be highly appreciated!

I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am having some problems with it please help

So here are the problems I'm having with Adobe Premiere Elements 10:
1. Transitions will not load. The word loading pops up and it won't come up.
2. The videos won't play smoothly. When I press play it skipps in a way it won't play smooth which makes it really hard to edit.
3. Keeps closing out on me. It will have a thing that pops up that says "Adobe premiere elements has stopped working and closes out of the program. It does it constantly.
Please help me I don't know what is wrong with it.

The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
What is the installed video driver number and date?
For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
Good luck,
