Building a new Premiere/After Effects Rig

Yes another rig building advice question but I would really would appreciate any advice and help that can be offered.
Here is what i had in mind.
Corsair Obsidian 750D Computer Cases
Corsair RM850
Asus X99-DELUXE/U3.1
Intel Core i7-5930K CPU
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 32gb
Cooler Master V8 GTS
PNY GeForece GTX 970 Video Card
256GB Samsung 850 Pro Series (OS Drive)
WD Black 1 TB Hard Drive (Cache and Source)
WD Black 1 TB Hard Drive (Render)
WD Black 3TB Hard Drive (Storage)
Windows 8.1
Anything I am missing, should change or way off base about?

case - if you want, silent cases are nice. such as the fractal design refine R5.
psu - if you are going corsair, consider hx series and above.
cpu cooler - might want to look at quieter mfg/models. noctua, phanteks, bequiet are a few.
storage - might want to get another samsung pro ssd instead of hdd for cache.

  • What is your Premiere, After Effects and SpeedGrade Workflow?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am an experienced editor who's switched to Adobe's CC barely a year ago. At the moment I'm in the midst of finishing up a corporate project and trying to think of the best workflow between Premiere, After Effects and SpeedGrade. I'm loving the Dynamic Link workflows, but at the some time I'm facing some obstacles, and am wondering how you guys do your work.
    Let's say I finished the edit of the project and send the project via Dynamic Link to SG. I finish the grade and then decide to use the Dynamic Link to AE to add some titles with shapes and effects such as Fast Blur. This is where I'm facing the first problem. When I choose a clip to be 'Replaced with an AE Composition', the color correction is gone, and now if I grade in SG, it will naturally grade the titles I added. So, it seems as though my color grade is a waste of time and I have to do it the old school way of first absolutley completing the color grade, exporting, re-importing and then heading for titles and effects. That makes you lose quite a bit of "dynamics" in your work (and time aka money), if my clients want changes for example.
    For simple animations with text, and shapes, this is not a big issue since you could easily add the titles to a second Video track. But when you use After Effects which changes the acutal image of a clip by adding effects, things don't work out too easily. But in any case, these might just be the limitations to the relativley new Dynamic Link workflow.
    In my specific example, how would you go about it? What is your workflow? Maybe I'm missing out on some tips & tricks.
    Be happy to hear from you guys and maybe get some expert knowledge.
    Best,
    fabian

    Hey there,
    I'm also looking for a solid workflow solution since adopting (and actually really liking) Speedgrade.  So below is what I'm going to try which should work and will follow this thread to see if any other workflows pop up.  Also typing this out here to help me with plan of attack
    Project Specs - 3 minute corporate video with text animation, interviews, broll, and computer screen replacement
    Edit in Premiere
    Dynamic link to SpeedGrade for color correction
    Open back up in Premiere, confirm all color corrections are applied, and then duplicate sequence to an AE Prep extension
    In AE prep sequence, take all AE "base" shots (for computer screen composite or anything needing stabilization) up onto their own track (i.e. V5 & V6)
    Add 10 frame handles to in & out, checkerboard clips as needed
    Delete all other remaining content but keep blank spaces / no ripple deletes
    Export this out to a ProRes4444 QT movie
    Import ProRes4444 QT movie back into premiere, add over existing video layers in AE Prep extension sequence, and then there time out the screen shot replacement content to cover effect duration
    Dynamic link AE Prep Premiere Pro sequence to AE
    Do the AE work
    Dynamic link back to Premiere
    DoneHopefully
    This was my similar work around back in the day before I had Automatic Duck in FCP to AE
    Hope this helps anyone else - if there are any glaring "why would you do all that" points - please let me know   I'll also report back if there are any horrible roadblocks throughout the process.

  • CS5 Premiere, After Effects, and Encore hang on splash screen - Solution

    I just installed Production Premium CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The install went without a hitch, but when I attempted to start Premiere, After Effects or Encore, they would all hang at some place with the splash screen showing. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Adobe and they never solved the problem. They had me uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, upgrade my nVidea driver and upgrade to a newer version of Quicktime. None of this made a difference and at that point I realized they were not going to fix my problem. The first woman was an idiot and the guy I spoke to next was a lot better, but no solution. Premiere was hanging when loading the Quicktime plug-ins.
    Then I had an Aha! moment. I shut off User Account Control, rebooted and then everything worked. I could also get the programs to work with UAC on if I changed the shortcut to "Run as Administrator" but then there would be a UAC prompt. By the way, I was running as a user with full administrator privileges.
    I am astounded that Adobe has never encountered this problem before and did not have an immediate solution. Once again, Adobe Tech Support has continued to provide pathetic tech support.
    Steve

    The plug-ins that were involved in the hang on the splash screen were:
    ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm
    ImporterQuickTime.prm
    The splash screen would hang for 5 minutes on each of these and then if PPro started it would only be a plain white window with the Menu Bar and then there would be no further response.

  • What's new in After Effects CS5

    Here it is:
    "What's new in After Effects CS5"

    > -Still no real 3D or ability to import 3D-files without Photoshop. The
    experiences with Photoshop import were not very good with CS4 and I
    didn't read about any work done on that in the change list. I hope I'm
    wrong on this one!
    There has been quite a lot of work to improve stability, but the overall feature is the same in After Effects. Because Photoshop has some additions, you can make more useful things in Photoshop, so overall it's an improvement. See this post.
    -I was really really hoping that this would be implemented in  AE CS5 http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/videoEnhancement.htm After all, there is an adobe employee involved with project. So this  was a bit disappointing for me, but I guess I just have to wait a bit  longer.
    I was really annoyed at all of the YouTube videos that said that was going to be in CS5. It just goes to show that you can't believe what you see on the Internet. ;-)
    Seriously, though, those folks are just down the hall from me, and they are always doing great stuff---much of which eventually makes it into products. Several of the cool features from this and previous release have come in part from them. So, don't lose hope.

  • Looking to buy new MacBook Pro for editing with Premiere/After Effects, but wondering about trade-off between Processor Speed and Graphics Card

    I'm a professional video editor (using Premiere and After Effects) looking to buy a new MacBook Pro and am deciding between two models. The slightly older model has a 2.8GHZ i7 (3rd generation) Quad Core processor with a 1GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE GT 650M Graphics Card. Then newer model has a 2.3GHZ i7 (4th generation) Quad Core preocessor with 2GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE 750M/Intel Iris Pro Graphics Card.
    Which makes the most difference (processor speed vs. graphics card) with editing with Premiere and After Effects?
    Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    1. Your MBP will be somewhat slower than your iMac, as reflected in the general speed; desktop Macs have more RAM and storage.
    You recon? If he get's the 17", he would have up to 8x more RAM, 4 x more GPU,, and  a bit faster CPU;.
    2. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of extra RAM. Loading up the slot will make juggling multiple applications easier, like Photoshop, VLC, and Safari. However, more than 4gigs of RAM will make loading your MBP on startup twice as slow - at least a minute, probably longer. That's why a MBP user with extra RAM should sleep their machine nearly always when not in use, rather than powering off. 
    I did not know this, I just upgraded from 4gb to 8gb the other day. Have not noticed it being slower, but I don't often shut it down. It's nice to not even have to bother with ifreemem.
    3. Additional storage and RAM will maximize the basic capabilities of your MBP, but you won't be able to make a 2.3ghz machine any faster than it already is.
    SSD
    4. I still feel that your iMac will be faster than your prospective MBP. The only way to dramatically increase the speed would be the installation of a SSD drive (like the lauded OWC series). But they're not cheap.
    I don't want to rain on your parade, but want you to get a more realistic idea of your performance.
    I chose a macbook pro, 17" of cause. I use it for gaming. Yes a iMac is better for gaming. But, it's nice to be able to move around. Set up a man cave in the lounge 1 week, or in the bedroom, the next. But you fork out a lot more dosh for that luxury. And yes, not as much power as Poikkeus has said.

  • Is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M in the new MacBook Pro supported by Adobe for Premiere & After Effects

    As the title states.
    Is it worth getting the 15" MacBook Pro with the Nvidia graphics card over the 15" version without for use with both Premiere Pro & After Effects CC?

    Thanks
    Unfortunately, I've found that many of the users here are PC users. While they are helpful, it's rare to get anything beyond guesses for Adobe Premiere CC performance on Macs.
    I've noticed that the list of "supported" GPU's is not updated all that much by Adobe. It took a while after last year's macs were released for that list to be updated with those GPUs. But the 750M has 2GB VRAM and pretty much any GPU with 1GB of VRAM or more can take advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine on Premiere CC (http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support.html)  With CS6, if your card isn't on the "list" you could add it using that hack that people talk about but you don't have to worry about that with CC as the above link explains.
    While the regular 15" Macbook with the integrated graphics card is probably good enough to edit w/ Premiere CC, I don't think you'll be able to take advantage of any GPU acceleration because of the lack of a dedicated GPU with 1GB of VRAM. I am running Premiere CC on an iMac with an AMD GPU that isn't on the list, but does have 1GB of VRAM so I can take advantage of gpu accleration (however, while it's smoother than "software only", it definitely has it's REALLY annoying issues). I'm sure it'd be better with a newer NVIDIA card (from what I've read anyway) but like you, it's hard to get feedback from many people on these forums who use macs.
    Hope this helps. I for one would go with the 750M. It's more $$$, but I'm guessing it'll be worth it. Just a guess though. I wish someone with that laptop (or even a 2013 iMac with similar GPU) would chime in with their thoughts.

  • $10,000 - $15,000 Premiere/After Effects Build Recommendations

    Hello,
    If you were to build a computer for HD editing between $10,000 to $15,000, what do you guys recommend?
    Requirements for the system:
    The computer needs to burn Blu-Ray discs. It also needs to be compatible with Blackmagic Multibridge. The system needs to be capable of running CS5 software, including AE and Premiere.
    We have space for a full-size tower. We were considering this tower: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112159 but are open to other cases.
    Storage. Preference is speed/reliability over total storage space. We are open to using external storage enclosures, but would prefer that some of the drives remain inside the computer case.
    If you have any other questions please ask. The system will be used in a production environment.
    Joshua

    From the After Effects side, I say to get an 8-core system, which with hyperthreading is 16 processors. At 4GB per processor, that's 64GB of RAM. And you certainly want to have at least two fast local hard disk drives.
    I'll leave it to the Prmeiere Pro folks to throw in what they'd recommend for the Premiere Pro side. But for After Effects, the mantra is RAM, CPUs, and fast disks.

  • Laptop for editing with Adobe Premiere & After Effects CS6

    Hi, I'm just started a company working with young people, and I need a laptop for editing some videos (short films/music videos).
    I was looking at a cheap laptop to be able to run Adobe Premiere and After Effects smoothly. I was told that this laptop would run smoothly:
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-envy-m6-1178sa-15-6-laptop-17419990-pdt.html
    Can anyone confirm this? The graphics card is not listed on the Adobe's website but I was told it's compatible?
    Im new to this stuff so please help, thank you.

    How realistic are the system requirements Adobe posts on their site?
    System requirements
    Windows
    Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor with 64-bit support; Intel Core®2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor required for Adobe® Premiere® Pro, After Effects®, and Encore®; Intel Core i7 processor required for Adobe SpeedGrade™
    Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1 (64 bit) and Windows® 8. Refer to the CS6 FAQ for more information about Windows 8 support.*
    2GB of RAM (4GB recommended) for 32 bit; 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) for 64 bit
    14.5GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for disk cache, preview files, and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display with 16-bit color and 512MB of VRAM; 1680x1050 display required, and second professionally calibrated viewing display recommended for SpeedGrade
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft WDM/MME
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (DVD+-R burner for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    Java™ Runtime Environment 1.6 (included)
    Eclipse™ 3.7 (for plug-in installation of Adobe Flash® Builder®); the following distributions are supported: Eclipse IDE for Java EE and Java Developers, Eclipse Classic, Eclipse for PHP Developers
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features, multimedia, and HTML5 media playback
    Dedicated GPU card required for SpeedGrade (for optimal performance in SpeedGrade and for GPU-accelerated features in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects: NVIDIA Quadro 4000, 5000, or 6000 or other Adobe-certified GPU card with at least 1GB of VRAM recommended); visit www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html for supported cards
    Optional: Tangent CP200 family or Tangent Wave control surface for SpeedGrade
    Optional: For SDI output, NVIDIA Quadro SDI Output card required for SpeedGrade
    Optional: 7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended) for video products
    This software will not operate without activation. Broadband Internet connection and registration are required for software activation, validation of subscriptions, and access to online services.† Phone activation is not available.
    You have to be from another world to believe these requirements. Note the last optional statement. Up to and including CS4 this stated:
    Dedicated 7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured) for video products.
    Nobody in his right mind believes that system requirements get lower over time. It is purely a marketing lie to artificially lure prospective buyers.
    The requirement to have two physical disks for CS6 is bogus.
    If anything is bogus, it is the system requirements from Adobe and only fools would try to use a system with these minimum requirements, like this:
    Pentium 4 with 4 GB of RAM, 24.5 GB of hard disk space is enough according to them.
    Harm is confusing editing with getting high PPBM scores, I am afraid - again.  Not all projects have 10 layers of H.264 stacked with heavy effects for two hours straight.  The vast majority of editing is simple transitions and effects with 10 minutes of YouTube encoding twice a week.
    Wrong assumption. I was thinking of a simple DV timeline with one single track. And however much you dislike the PPBM benchmark, it is the only available tool to show how well a system is setup and in balance. Question: Is your dislike of the benchmark based on the fact that your favorite HP Z820 does not do well?

  • Adobe (Premiere & After Effects) on MacPro

    Dear Apple support,
    I currently own a late 2009 iMac 27".
    I studied & using Adobe After Effects & Premiere Pro.
    I'm seriously considering to buy the MacPro !
    However: I am seeing a lot of talks in forums about problematic issues with the MacPro & Adobe.
    1. For example, see this discussion:  https://forums.adobe.com/message/7489619
    To quote from the forum discussion:
         "I'm very disappointed with Apple lately. Ever since they pulled out of exhibiting at the NAB Show, it seems they've been neglecting the needs of professional      users. They took too long to refresh the Mac Pro line and, when they finally did refresh it, it was more to the benefit of hobbyists than professionals in studio      environments"
         and
         "more and more people are jumping to Windows. Windows 7 is rock solid for using Adobe software. I love it. You get more processing power for your money      with a PC and several companies are building very quality machines these days. Until Apple makes some changes, I'll recommend a PC workstation over a      Mac Pro"
    Now, I love Apple, and I don't believe everything I read, but,
    I assume that you guys are aware that there are many other discussions of this sort ?
    2. I also contacted Adobe's support.  I asked their support engineer, what would he buy? a MacPro or a PC.
    He's reply was: "I'll go with Windows, Windows 7"
    Would it be possible to hear directly from you (Apple support) what exactly the situation is with Adobe's products?
    What is the present situation? and, what is going to happen in the future?
    I own & love several Apple's products, and I'm very interested in the MacPro.
    However, there are too many bad talks in the forums which are making me scared to invest in a MacPro (it's not cheap for me)
    I'm really confused !
    Hoping to hear back a detailed & honest answer.
    Sincerely,
    Tal Mor

    You are not talking to Apple Support when you post on this Apple User-to-User forum. Apple makes no promise to read these postings, and never responds here unless your post goes unanswered for several days.
    Your question should be directed at Adobe, not Apple. Apple has provided good Hardware, and made a serious commitment to OpenCL. Final Cut X takes advantage of both.
    Despite Adobe's public promises to take advantage of the new Mac Pro Hardware, they have been very slow at delivering software that takes advantage of the features of the new cylinder Mac Pro and developing OpenCL versions of their software. Adobe seems to prefer the proprietary approach provided by NVIDIA CUDA.

  • I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

    Hello there,
    I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
    I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
    After seeing this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
    I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
    I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
    But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
    I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

    2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
    The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
    These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

  • Help with Premiere, After Effects and Davinci workflow

    Hi
    I'm scratching my head wondering how I'm going to solve this workflow issue that I have, but hopefully it isn't that much of an issue.
    We have shot a short film with an A-cam that delivers CinemaDNG files. I converted these files into Apple ProRes 422 Proxy with Davinci Resolve 9 Lite
    and then I imported the proxy files into Adobe Premiere CC. The idea is to then to > edit the film in Premiere > import it to After Effects CC  via Dynamic Link (to make the effects we're after) > send it back to Premiere > export as XML to Davinci > relink to the original CinemaDNG-files and perform the color grading, and then finally export the film (either back to premiere to export it with audio or export it directly from Davinci in some way?)
    I'm new to all this and I would really appreciate help!
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Patrik

    Hi guys and thanks for your replies!
    Well I thought I had a good post prod plan, but now I realized it maybe wasn't that good when AE gets involved.
    My initial idea was to follow this workflow tutorial > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpg0k3aD088#t=327 (He have now made this tutorial private and I'm having a hard time remembering my YouTube password so at the moment I can't watch it... great)
    CC may not specifically support A-CAM's CinemaDNG files, but it will do for a rough cut, even though it looks purple and horrible
    What do you think about this? I import the cinemadng folders into premiere and make a rough cut out of it, then I'll export the sequence as a XML file and bring it into Davinci where I relink to the cinemadng files and perform the color grading and then export it as 422 HQ (for example?) and then bring it back to Premiere to make my final edit and also use Dynamic Link with After Effects? Any possible failures with that technique?
    Regards
    Patrik
    Ps: Reason why I'd like to perform color grading in Davinci and not Speed Grade is because of the purple tint I get in SG and PP!

  • New to After Effects - need help with text manipulation!

    Hi all, I'm new to AE and this forum and I'm looking for some advice. I've been asked by the boss at work to create a short video clip, around 10-15 seconds, where text is displayed on the screen (3 words), after the few seconds, I want a 'forging' noise to happen and the final word in the text to be changed to another word and have a metallic effect applied, similar to the effect in this tutorial:
    Create Hot Metallic Text in After Effects - After Effects - macProVideo.com Hub
    Will this be difficult to do and do you guys think a complete beginner like myself can do it? I've got a lot of experience with the likes of PS, so I'm not too shy with Adobe software.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. So will it be difficult to have one word of text come onto the screen and overlay on top of the existing text, as if it's crashing over it? Any ideas on the steps I would use to do this? Thanks
    As you begin your career of using AE, you will change your vocabulary. Overlay will be replaced with spatial references like in front or behind.
    Designing text with surface styles like chrome or metal is not difficult. You can even import them from Photoshop if you have some PS chops or friends who can do it quickly.
    TEXT ONE can be easily replaced with TEXT TWO in any of dozens of different ways but to drop TWO in front of ONE is easy, you're just setting position keyframes. The finesse of animation, though, lies in the illusion of motion, exaggeration, overshooting and recoil. Your TWO could fall and squish and rebound and bounce or it could raise a dust cloud as it hits or it could make the camera wiggle. These are the things that separate simple key framing from animation and motion graphics.

  • Premiere, After Effects, Speedgrade, Media Encoder and... the dynamic link

    My feeback after working with the dynamic link these days. Basic project. Editing, color correction, animated titles.
    I'm using a 3.5Ghz iMac 24GB Ram and a GTX 780 4GB. (2014 versions & last updates).
    Rendering the timeline in Premiere is sometimes extremly slow (with AE comps). Need to quit and reload the project to get a good speed.
    Too long delay of refresh for the AE compositions inside Premiere (with the dynamic link). Need to go in AE then back to Premiere to get the refresh.
    When i export to media encoder i need sometimes to save then send it 2 or 3 times to get the last edits in the export.
    Even worse with the AE compositions. If i change something in AE then export from Premiere i need to quit and reload Media Encoder to get the last changes.
    Really fast export from Premiere to Speedgrade and from Speedgrade to Premiere.
    But !!! Lumetri fx is not compatible with AE.  And Speedgrade doesn't support BlackMagic but only this nVidia Sdi thing.
    And why we could not export h264 from AE anymore ???
    Quiet disappointing :-(

    Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (build 21) and Media Encoder 2014.0.1 (build 8.0.1.48) on OS X 10.8.5
    If I Export a video from Premiere, I can continue using Premiere, but if I Queue an export, returning to Premiere produces the beach ball of death. If I give it time, the beach ball goes away and the arrow returns, but trying to click anywhere in Premiere simply returns the beach ball. There is nothing to be done but Force Quit Premiere. I can leave Premiere and run any other application, but if I leave to execute the Media Encoder queue, I cannot return to Premiere and use Premiere. I can visit Media Encoder (call it to the foreground) and return to Premiere after the queue is done.
    My current workaround is to use Export from Premiere and not use Queue from Premiere.
