After effects slow screen updates

Hi, Ive got a lenovo yoga laptop (intel graphics card) and tried using After Effects and everything updates really slowly. For example, if I use the type tool and type something it takes minutes to update on the screen. This was happening with Photoshop, but after reading some forums there was a setting to disable open gl I think it was. After doing that everything was fine. But, After Effects doesn't seem to have the same options so was not too sure if there is a setting in there I can disable. Not sure if anyone has experienced this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

    After my software updated I can no longer open any adobe cc product. I have uninstalled, deleted temp files, preference files, and run cc cleaner.

I also updated nvidia drivers the same day. The only thing I haven't tried that I know to do is revert display drivers back. Please any help would be great.

  • After Effects CS6 Screen Fluttering  HELP ME!!!!

    Hello Everyone,
    Ok so I have seen a few threads about this with CS5.5 but nothing with CS6.  First here is my coomputer set up.
    AMD FX6100 3.3 chip
    Quadro 2000
    8 gig of ram
    MSI 870 motherboard
    Creative cloud suite cs6 with newest updates
    So here is the issue I had a GTX 550ti card worked great until it burnt up during a long render had to replace it.  Got a GTX 650 and my issue started. I was getting sudden screen fluttering and not responsive messages.  This would happen no matter what I was doing.  Found out the card was not certified and Adbose told me this was the issue. I then returned that card got a 560 SC card again same issue this time worse.  Once again told by adobe it was a card issue. So again returned the card. 
    This time I had already now made 4 trips back and fourtht o the store.  Sorry I almost forgot I even updated my power supply to a 750 watt bronze because Adobe told me maybe i didnt have enough power to drive my video card.
    Ok so now I bought the Quadro 2000 card.  So this card is supposed to work flawless make things run great.  Well guess still having the exact same issue.  I have reinstalled after effects three times. I have done clean installs of the video cards and now Adobe support is telling me to get the card checked yet again??????  I bought the card two days ago been through three card including the mothboard graphics. 
    I dont care how great Adobe products are there is now way every card I am trying is bad and the software is great.  There has to be a setting i am missing or something.  Does anyone know a answer to this?????
    Help Me Please!!!

    Yes I get screen flashing flickering.  During this process I get not responding Error.  Basically I open after effects.  WHen I move the mouse anyplace inside of after effects it happens. I hit new it freezes, I scrub and it goes crazy to the point I have to CTRL-Alt-DEL just to get my computer back.  Sometimes it causes my windows crash and have to be restarted.   This whole thing started right after I burnt up my 550TI.  I did a 4 hour render got a error 16 on my card call EVGA they told me it was fried. I replaced it first with a GTX 650 and that is when all of this started.  Since then I replaced the 650 with a 560 sc then a 570 and now I have a quadro 2000  not one of these cards stopped the issue.  The only cards i know that are certified were the 550ti the 570 and the quadro I have now.
    I have installed the latest drivers I even had Adobe log in three times into my machine and each time they told me they would look itno the issue and call me back.  So now here I am 3 months later have yet to get one phone call back and everytime I call in or do the live chat i get told to replace the card. 
    SO my question is simple its not the cards because 5 cards could not all go bad in a row. 
    The only information I am finding on the web is that open gl needs to be turned off.  CS^ you cannot do that.
    I have reset after effects back to default settings and turned off all GP rendering as well as interleaving and cache.  Still having the same issue.
    If I plug my monitor into my onboard card all issues stop.   So I have figured out it has to do with having the monitor hooked up to the graphics cards. 
    The other thing I have tried to do just to verify my PCIe isnt bad is I borrowed a 550ti from a friend and again worked fine.  Now when I hooked up my orginal 550ti I did not change a single setting on my after effects.
    When I got the 650 I ran the hack for the GPU and changed some of the settings until I found out that no one was able to use the 650 card.  Then I got the 560 and I wiped out after effects reinstalled fresh did not change any settings and same issue presented.
    I then got the 570 and a 750 watt psu  figured ok this is certified should work.  Again no luck.  I returned that card got the quadro 2000 same issue.
    I do not know if when I installed the new AE if it kept the hack and that is causing the issue or not.

  • CC will not allow After Effects CS6 to Update

    I am a frequent After Effects CS6 user; not so long ago I started a subsciption with Adobe Creative Cloud and I've had nothing but issues with it.
    The CC desktop would crash my whole system on launch, so I cancelled my subsciption and uninstalled anything related to CC cause I saw no real benefit.
    But the CC apps remained on the system no matter what I tried to remove them.
    Now my Premiere Pro CS6 is unable to open, and After Effects CS6 is unable to update.

    I used that link already. I believe my old cc subscription is blocking. It states 'updates have been suppressed by the administrator'. After effects crashing after ram previewing. CC was removed after it crashed my desktop a few months ago. I have CS5 & cs6 which I paid for installed but I cant get into premiere pro because cc hijacks it. Cc was removed uninstalled because My system desktop wouldnt load so I discontinued my subscriptupm but it has interferred with my ability to use tge CS6 programs!
    I have not been able to get any support and now I cant even edit a 2 minute short film which is due tomorrow.

  • After Effects CC Screen Blurry Mac

       As you can see the preview screen is VERY Blurry for me and I need help
    Its apperently like this with everying 0_0

    Sorry, but that's totally incomprehensible. 
    After Effects has its own arcane terminology, and you're not using it.  You know what you mean, but no one else does.  It's like you're speaking English, but everyone who's listening speaks Swahili.  Nothing gets communicated.
    I get the feeling you're a brand-new AE user, and you don't even know that you just can't jump into the deep end of the pool.  You can't fart around with the application and expect success.  All you'll get is frustration... like you're getting now.
    Take the time.  Learn the basics.  Use that Getting Started link above.   Life will get better.  Really.

  • After Effects CC 2014 Update Stuck at 50%

    Anyone else having this issue? At first it failed because it "couldn't open the downloaded file" or something to that effect. I started it again and it just stops at 50%. I hit cancel and it's still "finishing" it's process. I hope this didn't mess up my install. Any advice is appreciated.

    How long did you wait before trying to cancel the update?
    Average time at our office for the After Effects CC 2014.2 is about 12-15 minutes, and it does tend to stall at certain percentages (usually 80% and 99%); this is due to a large number of files that are being copied and then cleaned up.
    If the update is taking significantly longer on your computer, it's possible you may have a corrupt download or install. My recommendation would be to uninstall and reinstall After Effects, and then apply the updates again. Failing that, contact technical support.

  • After Effects won't update for MAC 10.9.4 even on Root account.

    I have previously updated my Mac OS to 10.9.4 and it was only until today that i wanted to use After Effects. I open up After Effects and i get an error, after some googling I am taken to a download page for the After Effects update. I downloaded the update, but when I ran it it said I had insufficient privileges. After a long string of events that involved tricking my computer into thinking it was brand new to make an admin account, i made an admin account and from there got access to the root account. Once on the root account I figured that all permissions would be open, but no, I still get the same error message of, "Please contact your system Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by your Administrator."
    Is there a button I need to press or a command i need to type in the root account that will allow me to update AE? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This is not about the administrator for the computer; rather, this is about the administrator of your software licenses. Whoever distributed your Adobe software seems to have chosen the option in that distribution to disable updates. You'll need to talk with them.

  • Adobe after effects blue screen at "Intializing User Inferance"

    Everytime i start up Adobe after effects cs4 i get a blue screen error at intializing user inferance. Can anyone help me with this? I have reinstalled after effects a couple times with no luck

    Bluescreen = system problem, not AE. could be anything from a bad graphics card driver to some security stuff causing crashes. Provide exact details about your system hardware  and settings e.g. for screen resolution.

  • After Effects project not updating

    Hi
    I have an issue with media encoder, when I use media encoder to render a After Effects project and then need to make a change to the original AE project and re render I’m finding that the change is not reflected when I re open that file in media encoder.
    I take it that media encoder is caching the file but then why is the cached version not updating?
    Any help please

    What version of After Effects and AME do you have?
    After you make your changes in After Effects, you should use the Composition > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, which was new in After Effects CC (12.0). Alternately, you can drag the comp from the Project panel in After Effects to the Queue panel in AME.
    Otherwise you'll need to quit and restart AME to force it to reload the project.
    Under the hood, AME reads After Effects comps using Dynamic Link, which loads a copy of your After Effects project in the background. If you save changes into your After Effects project file while Dynamic Link still has that copy loaded into memory, that copy is not affected. (This is a bug. You're welcome to file a bug report about it.) Only in the case where AME has flushed that copy from memory would it reload the project file and see the updates, which may happen if AME needs the memory space and will always happen if you quit AME.
    The difference with the Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, or dragging the comp from After Effects to AME (in After Effects CC (12.0) and later) is that every time you do this, a temporary copy of your project file on disk is created with the current state of the comp. Having that updated project as a unique file avoids the issue of Dynamic Link needing to update the previous instance of the project.

  • After Effects Black Screen

    Hello.
    I have a problem with black screen. If i make a new project, and make a new composition and putting an effect (in this case audio spektrum), then the screen shows black. no effects working at all.
    What can the problem be? i use the After Effects CC Trail Version. Using Mac OSX.
    Regards,
    Magnus Pilegaard

    Some effects require other assets. Audio spectrum requires an audio layer and proper setup. Some effects don't start until some time has passed like radio waves or particle systems.
    You should start here if you are just learning AE.

  • After Effects Slows PPro Significantly

    I'm on a 2011 macbook pro 17" 5 months old, 2.2 quad-core, 8gb ram with a 6tb RAID via eSata
    Production Premium CS 5.5
    Any time a clip is edited in After Effects, and replaced in PPro, it slows all processes of PPro significantly. Render times take 5x's longer, edits are not immediate, cannot see changes in other clips in immediately, etc...
    Is there something that is hindering PPro to operate normally even when I'm past the editing and rendering of the replaced clip?
    Thank you for any and all help.
    -Charlie-

    Don't render to AVCHD footage. Check the Sequence settings in Premiere and make sure you compositions are the same size and frame rate. Then render to something like MotionJpg or even Animation Codec Quicktimes. These codecs require very little processing to re-render in Premiere Pro.
    You never want to render to MPEG codecs directly from AE.
    AVCHD footage takes a bunch of processor power to decode then re-encode so it's going to take a while to render to the PPro timeline. Sorry, I know of no way around this problem when working with highly compressed footage.
    Personally, I always transcode (re-encode) AVCHD footage before I even bring it into Premiere. I do the same with all highly compressed video like video from DSLR's. I'm on a Mac so I mostly use ProRez 422 because it's 10 bit, nearly lossless, takes very little CPU power to decode, and plays back in real time very well. The only time I keep a PPro project in a native compressed format is when I'm doing quick cuts only edits.
    Hope this helps.

  • After effects slow ram preview hold for 4 seconds before starting

    Hi I have upgraded from After effects CS5.5 to CC 2014 , and I notices that when I want to make Ram view by hitting 0 num pad key , it pauses for 3 or 4 seconds before it start caching , and it become really annoying if you want to ram preview every 1 min , I tried playing around with the Preferences /Memory/ Ram reserved for other apps , but no good .
    That was not the case in CS 5.5 , is it was starting caching as soon as I hit the 0 key .
    I am working on Mac pro workstation , quad core intel xieon 2x 3.2 Ghz Mac Os 10.7.5
    Thanks

    I am guessing that you have MP rendering turned on in the preferences. Please turn it off and test again.

  • After Effects Red Epic updating preview issues

    Ok I downloaded "Red Epic Importer" for AE CS 5.5  (10.0.2.4) running on a HP Z800 with 22 gig of ram.
    1) I followed the 'Read me" file for AE of course I backed up  'ImporterRED.prm" and "ImporterREDServer.exe"
    2) And I loaded the new After effects cs 5.5 Red preview files
    3) When I re-start AE I get:
    'After effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load.
    Please reinstall these plugins:
    C:\program files\adobe\abobe aftereffects cs5\support files/(media core plug-ins\common\importer Red.prm"
    3) I double checked and yes I only have one copy of each file.

    You are using After Effects 10.0.2.4? That is After Effects CS5, not After Effects CS5.5.
    The RED Epic importer is for After Effects CS5.5. It will not work with After Effects CS5.
