Bought a Quadro K2000 Video Card, After Effects CC Won't detect it?

I recently bought a Quadro K2000 for some simple 1080p video editing and rendering. Now there comes the problem, It seems like After Effects is not detecting the card, CUDA is enabled and the card is supported in the list. I have tried many solutions but unfortunately I still have this problem. Also with rendering a video my CPU still takes all the load instead of the GPU, therefore it goes really slow, 5 minute render takes up to 2+ hours. I bought this video card so my render also got quicker but it seems like After Effects just won't use the GPU for rendering. I have Ray tracing 3D rendering on.
Can someone please explain to me why my Quadro K2000 is not used for rendering the videos but instead it still uses my CPU. I hope the $500 was no waste of money for this card.
Thanks in advance,
Sjoerd

You have given us little information to go by. What exact version of After Effects? What operating system. Show a screenshot of your GPU Information dialog box in After Effects.
The Quadro K2000 was added to the list of cards tested and supported for use by the ray-traced 3D renderer in this version:

    Although the same Program I used before Formatting the computer ,, but after Formatting the Projects file for Adobe After Effect didn't Open as well !!
    The Picture I attached shows the Error ,,
    Note:
    the question marks in the pictures are for the Arabic name of the avi video ,,and this version of Adobe After Effect CS5.5 is trail ,,

  • Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

    Hi there,
    I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
    Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
    When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
    I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Rick and Mylenium
    Thanks that worked!
    I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
    Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
    I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
    Its a shame AE doesn't  pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
    I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
    Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
    Cheers

  • I am having trouble rendering a video in After Effects CS6

    I am having trouble rendering a video in After Effects CS6. My video is only 12 seconds long. I am using the "Ray-Trace" feature". Whenever I try to render this video I get this error message.
    Also, the text turns into a giant black boxy blob whenever I turn off the Ray-Trace effect.

  • How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
    You can also use dropbox as an option.
    With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
    Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself.  There are presets for iPhone compression.

  • Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6?

    Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6? How could I solve this?
    Thanks.

    Hi, it's been a long time. I'm sure it was something silly I was missing.  I'll be thinking about it, as soon as I remember I'll let you know.
    Maybe if you tell me what kind of message is AE giving you or something would help me to remeber.

  • After Effects CC won't update

    Hi,
    After Effects CC won't update on both my computers.
    Every time I try to install the AE CC update, the installer asks me to close AdobeCrashDaemon to continue.
    After quiting AdobeCrashDaemon and checking Activity Monitor to make sure it's not running, the installer keeps asking me to close AdobeCrashDaemon.
    I hope you can help me.
    Thanks,
    Kristiaan

    Hi Jeff,
    I checked the installation log file and found the error notice:
    ERROR: DS015: Unable to read symlink target of source file "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Adobe After Effects CC.app/Contents/Frameworks/mc_dec_amr.framework/mc_dec_amr"(Seq 4)
    I opened the folder Applications/Adobe After Effects CC, and can't find the rest of the /After Effects CC.app/ etc. path inside it.
    What would be the next step to solve this?
    Thanks,

  • After Effects CS3 won't open mp4 H264 videos

    Hi people.
    I've just bought a Samsung HMX10 that captures video footage directly for mp4 files with H264 codec. The problem is After Effects won't import any of the files recorded by this camera and gets the 'unsupported filetype or extension ( 0 :: 1 )' message. Premiere accepts the same files just fine. Is there a way to make After Effects use the same codecs as Premiere and/or some software to convert this files to some AE friendly format without losing much quality?
    Thanks

    As Sébastien said, convert or transcode it. Other alternatives to putting it into a QT container include for instance using tools like SUPER© to adjust the stream structure. Making AE use the same routines like premiere is not possible, but it wouldn't do much good, anyway, I would say. While Premiere can simply ignore things like open GOPs or other "bad stuff", AE can't, as it always needs to reconstruct a full frame for processing. Also be aware, that there is a million minor varaitions on the theme, as every camera manufacturer seems to have his on philosophy on teh matter, so some incompatibilities are sometimes inevitable. In your case however, these issues may already be covered in CS4, so if you have the time, consider giving it a spin and possibly upgrade to it. in the long run, it may be more efficient than always haveing to take a detour and the better integration with Premiere via Dynamic Link may also have additional benefits for you...

  • After Effects CC won't import short video files

    I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
    I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
    I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

    The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.

  • Issue with imported video in after effects!

    Let me start by saying I am putting together a video editing portfolio.
    I have the final video edit complete and have brought it into after effects, after exporting it as a current settings out of Final Cut Pro 7. I then, accomponied it with motion graphics that include my contact info all within after effects.
    The problem starts here in AE: when I press play on the timeline the entire video moves very sluggish.. Then I exported out of after effects and the final export is still sluggish with the audio cutting in and out (viewing in quicktime player) !.. Is the video supposed to be imported into after effects by a certain format and if so what? or is it supposed to be exported out of after effects by a certain format or way, and if so what? Basically I'm at the end of this process and just need to export the final video with the motion graphics out correctly so that it plays smoothly without complications.
    I've looked all over and can't seem to find a steady answer to this problem. Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

    When previewing, make sure that you're using RAM preview to get real-time playback:

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

    Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

    Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
    This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
    This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
    1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
    2. You can use AE's full power to render.
    3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
    4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
    This workflow actually saves time for many people.
    And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
    Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
    Frank VA wrote:

    They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.
    Frank VA wrote:

    Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
    However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
    I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
    Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
    And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects
