Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

(I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
[I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
Thanks (in advance) for the help.

You should wait.
What are the specs of your computer?

Since my last GarageBand update I can no longer hear the different software amps and effects while I am playing , but they can be heard when I play back the recording

So I can no longer hear the sofware amp/effects while I'm playing my guitar , but I can hear the software amps/effects during playback after I have done a recording . What's up ? This has happened after my last GarageBand update . I'm using an Apogee Duet .

I am monitoring through my KRK 8's. I have changed nothing other than the update . I used to be able to hear all of the amps/effects real time , but now it is only after the recording is done and I play it back that I can I hear the amp/effects that I selected for the recording .

Question - Importing Flash Project into After Effects, Possible?

Hi,
Is there a way to open a Flash file (FLA) in After Effect?, cause I saw you can open an AEP that was converted to XFL in Flash... I want to be able to open my Flash project in After Effects, same way I can import a PSD as a composition, is there a way to do that?

No, not possible. The principles are too different and it would require too many resources just to develop a conversion method. If you look closely, you will notice that even XFL is somewhat limited because of that. You can, however, still import SWF files once you are done with your work in Flash or render an image sequence from there.

Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
As it is, you don't really have one.
You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

Importing Premiere Pro project into After Effects ???

When I import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, it splits every shot onto a new track, ending up with a couple of hundred tracks at the end.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Particularly, since I'd want to keep the option of bringing the project file back in Premiere for further editing.
My colorist suggested that I nest reels of my timeline and split it that way so that when he imports it he has nests on one timeline and the multiple tracks in each of those nests. Still, this feel very clunky.

An editor at work was using our Avid to do a grade on a short promo and I
wanted to see what I could do in After Effects. So when he was out of the
office I exported the timeline as an AAF and copied the OMFI media. When I
brought the project into After Effects I ended up with a massive number of
layers and freaked at first at the idea of doing anything with it.
However I thought about it again and decided to precompose all the layers,
as this gave me just one layer to work with. I then added a couple of
Adjustment Layers above it; one with a Levels effect added and the other
with HSL. I also added Masks to the Adjustment Layers so I could vignette
any effect.
The key to working like this was to use Hold Keyframes at the beginning of
each new shot for each effect, Mask Shape and Feather. I could then adjust
that shot, scrub to the next shot add new Hold Keyframes adjust that shot
and so on. When I wanted to repeat any effect settings on a shot, I just cut
and pasted the relevant keyframes. Mixes across shots can be tricky but you
can always go back to work with the original shots on their separate layers
if you need to.
I ended up with a quick grade that stood up nicely against the one done on
the Avid and I only had work with 3 layers on my timeline!

Can't render in Premiere when I have After Effects open MAC OSX YOSEMITE

When I'm using dynamic link with AE files in my PP timeline I can't get it to render at a normal pace. It will start and then crawl for the simplest of tasks. The only way I get it to work is by clicking off of PP into AE and then back to PP again. Then all of the sudden it renders in seconds. Sometimes I can't even get it to playback at 1/4 quality unless I click off from PP to AE to PP again. The tasks I'm talking about are fairly simple as well. Something like a lower third graphic/text.
At work, I'm using an iMac 2013 3.5GHZ 32GB Ram Nvidia 780 4GB with the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.2.
I connect a USB 3.0 external hard drive dock and 2 3TB Western Digital Red drives formatted in NTFS using Paragon NTFS to access read and write. Using the Mac's internal SSD for scratch tracks.
This isn't a new issue for me...This has been happening for about 6 months. Was hoping updates would solve it but it doesn't see like it's being addressed. I'm assuming it's a Mac issue because this doesn't happen to my PC at home. Does anyone have any insight into this? Is this a known issue?
PP 2014.2 Release

Hi Tom,
Thanks for responding.
Media is on an external drive (firewire 800)
I've tried again and found that if I wait about 1-2 minutes after the save bar locks at about 90%, the project does eventually save.
If I then quit out of Adobe Media Encoder, it still takes quite a long time to save, but somewhat shorter.
If I then quit out of Premiere Pro and relaunch, everything gets saved quickly, normally.
Like I said above, this seems to happen only after I've cued something out to Adobe Media Encoder.
Otherwise, things appear to be OK.

How can I go from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6? (Problem)

Hi,
I am trying to send my clip from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6, but when I right click on the clip, I can't even select the option to send it to After Effects. I can see the option to send it to After Effects, but I just cant select it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Billy

You can do what you want... only going the other way!
You can import a CS5 Premiere Project (in its entirety
or a selected sequence) into CS6 Ae.
In CS6 Ae:
File>Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project...
Navigate to your CS5 Premiere project, double-click
and select 'All Sequences', or your preferred sequence.
As Jim points out, Dynamic Linking will only work
between matching versions of Pr and Ae.

Getting Error while transfering projects from After effects to premier pro?

Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE FreePin3
This is the error i get when i try to export and open After Effects projects in to Premier? Im working with the puppet tool and i want to export my project to premier pro cs3 so i can further edit it there. Im using After Effects Cs3 and Premier Pro CS3? please help

Well, does Premiere have a "Puppet Tool"? Absolutely not. Therefore how do you expect this feature to come over to PPro? Sorry, but that's simply impossible. You will have to render the project or use Dynamic Link from withing Premiere ("Import After Effects Composition), not the other way around.

Opening premiere project in after effects

I find that when I bring a project I've edited in Premiere into After Effects, a few of the clips don't come over properly. This always happens with a clip that I've flipped horizontally in Premiere -- it is no longer flipped when I open the project in After Effects. Okay, so I could just re-do that effect on that one clip, but it's even more screwed up than that -- the clip comes in with the wrong in and out points! Has anyone encountered this problem, and is there a solution?
In the project I'm working on now, there are 3 clips that didn't come over to After Effects properly. Two of them were flipped horizontally in Premiere, but the third one was not flipped -- the only adjustment in Premiere was to the Levels.

Make sure you report that, it sounds like a bug.

What is the most efficient way to use Remove Grain from After Effects on large Premiere Pro project?

I've tried to use Dynamic Linking both ways but it doesn't the effects don't appear no matter how dramatic I make them. Why couldn't there just be Remove Grain in Premiere Pro so I wouldn't have to go through the headache of figuring this out. I've tried importing the Premiere Pro project into After effects where everything comes up and, since there's so many files, it doesn't seam feasibly or convenient at all. Trying Dynamic Link vice versa didn't lend results either. What can I do??? Projects range from about a half hour to an hour and a half. Thank you.

The situations are well lit; it might be lack of knowledge on the camera settings itself.
Sort that and your workflow issue dissapears instantly.
There's nothing more efficient?
Yep...read above... but ...any Plugin. eg Neat Video... will take long processing time.
Fixing grain..actually "noise"...is always an image degrading process as well. It blurs!

Bringing Premiere Pro project into After Effects

I tried importing Premiere Pro projects to After Effects, but I only got the various files, not the timeline. I just watched a tutorial about Dynamic Link, but when I clicked Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effects composition in Premiere, I got a layer that was all black, with no sound. I have CS3 Production Premium and Windows XP Media Center SP2.
Right now, I just want to keep what I edited in Premiere, but I get better quality video if I export it to H.264 MOV in After Effects than anything I've found in Premiere. I can't understand why that's so, but until I find something just as good in Premiere, I want to save everything in After Effects.

Create a project and a comp. Copy the timeline from Premiere Pro and paste it into the timeline of After Effects.

After Effects Crash when editing a Project on high end PC.

Good day i am trying to edit a project on after effects and it all opens just fine, but when i go to edit and move around in the timeline i get crash reports and the program either closes or just doesnt respond. I have a Alienware PC, with 32 GB ram and a 4GB video card. Shouldnt have any PC restraints.

Utilizing all the cores and all the memory is not what you are after. You have to leave resources for other processes and you have to make sure that your system has enough resources to do things like decode footage in the background and process the effects you are setting up in AE. Some video codecs do not respond well to MP rendering so you may have to turn that off or transcode your footage to something that works.
As Myenium said your question lacked the details necessary to even guess what is going wrong. The best option to troubleshoot your problem is to reset your preferences to the default settings then see if the project works. If it doesn't start exploring things like source footage formats for problems. Then start adjusting your memory and MP settings using the guidelines that Adobe has published for optimizing performance.

Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?

I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post.

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.

Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?
