CC 2014 space preview not in realtime

Hello, I just recently purchased an 27-inch iMac, and installed the trails for CC 2014 fully updated and found that After Effects would not render in realtime when I pressed space. I would RAM preview it and it would be fine, but when I pressed space I was getting 20fps out of the 25 comp, even when it was fully rendered and cached. I am using the GPU settings, and have turn on/off the render multiple frames and that has not fixed the problem.
I have done compositions in 4k, 1080p, 720p and even created a 10 pixel x 10 pixel composition with only a single solid and it still only renders at 20fps when I press space. I have also created a composition with nothing in it at all at the aforementioned resolutions and when I press space I get 20fps not realtime. I have tried different preview methods (Full through to quarter) and fast draft, full and adaptive, and still getting the exact same problem.
Any help on this would be very grateful.
iMac Specs:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
OS: OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Hi Rick, thanks for your response.
I am aware that After Effects is not a video editor, I come from 10+ experience in Adobe products, at work I use iMacs and Macbooks all the time and have never had this problem when it comes to trying to render a simple solid or even nothing. What I'm saying is that now, on my new home iMac, if I try to render NOTHING through the basic preview, I'm getting frame drops, which is something I don't understand.
I'm getting frame drops on a composition that has already been ram previewed and cached, and at work I can press space and get full 25fps playback (of course, if I press space with unrendered footage it will framedrop as it renders it, then if I press space it is back to 25fps playback). I'm getting framedrops on a 4x4 composition with nothing in it, it's like the basic preview is capped at dropping frames no matter what, and it's very frustrating being used to realtime space previewing after the composition has been rendered.

  • Reason for "RAM Preview Not In Realtime" error

    I think I found a reason for why the "RAM Preview not in realtime" error pops up on the OSX version of AE. If you have your desktop background set to change every X seconds, the preview seems to suffer from that process going on in the background. Having OpenGL enabled/disabled doesn't seem to make a difference. Disabling the background image from cycling seems to remove any existing playback inconsistencies. This might have existed in earlier versions of AE than I'm using right now (as well as earlier versions of OSX), but I can't confirm that. The system I'm on is a 14GB 2.8 octocore, GeForce 8800GT, raptors & barracudas,OS 10.5.6, AE CS4 (updated).
    If others can confirm this behavior, we can submit it to aebugs.
    Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

  • RAM Preview - Not in realtime

    Hello
    On my computer, whenever I try to playback somehting to see a preview, it plays at 17 frames per second, with red text saying, Not in realtime. Is there anyway that this can be remedied?

    Make sure you are depressing the Zero key for ram preview. I bumped into this the other day because I had selected AJA Kona as my display option in Preferences. When I switched it back to Computer it played back in real time. The other reason might be a very complicated sequence on a computer with slow processers or not enough ram. You always need to share the details of your system when asking questions like this so folks know what you are using.

  • Adobe AE CC 2014 space preview lost frame?

    It's a very simple project, just a circle transformation, no fancy effect.
    When I press space, the preview is not fluent (red numbers in FPS window). But when I press RAM preview button, the preview is very smooth(full FPS).
    Any one can help me? Thanks!!!!

    Thanks for your reply.
    When I use "space button" to preview, it will appear a green bar on the top of the panel. Is that means rendering the project?  When the green bar done loading, the project is still not fluent.Is that normal?
    My mac is 16GB ram.
    Sorry for this dumm question.

  • Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
    An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
    Thanks for the help.

  • HD RAM preview not playing in realtime through Blackmagic

    I've recently upgraded one of my company's Blackmagic Multibridge Pro NLEs to CS5:
    PROBLEM:
    AE CS5 does not play realtime RAM preview of HD1080 video when displayed through the Blackmagic video output (even as low as 1/8 resolution).
    INFO:
    1.) Lowering resolution (even down to 1/8) does not help.
    2.) Matching scale % to resolution % does not help.
    3.) Doing #s 1-3 in combination gets very close to realtime, but CS4 did not require all of this.
    4.) If I switch AE output to "computer monitor only" I get realtime.
    5.) SD comps played through Blackmagic output achieve realtime.
    In CS4, HD Blackmagic output WAS realtime.  I have made all  memory/multiprocessing settings match the CS4 configuration, but this  has not helped.
    Also, both AE and the Blackmagic driver are the most current version.  I have no desire to revert to CS4... Anyone have any ideas?

    To answer my own question:
    I lowered the project's color settings to 8 bits per channel--and now all HD RAM previewing (even at full resolution) seems to be playing back realtime!
    Hope this thread can be helpful to anyone else experiencing the same issue.

  • Preview not real time again

    Hello,
    1st of all - sry for my english.
    I spend a night searching various forums, but could not find clear answer.
    my client just bought HP Z820 series workstion:
    2 x Xeon E5-2620 v2 2.10Ghz
    32Gb RAM
    256Gb SSD( system and AE cashe disk)
    1TB 7200rpm drive
    Quadro K2000 vga
    AE does not play realtime preview. Always blinking red "Not real time".
    i would ask - that is normal for mashine with such configuration?
    thanks.
    PS: He have CS6, up to date (today).

    Hi,
    Not sure if this will help, but I have an issue playing back on two of my MAC workstations, even through RAM preview, if I have colour profiles enabled. When working on the MAC, I set the project to 8bit, no colour management. All the colour work is done on another PC. Once again, I have not even discussed this on the forums, I just assumed the MAC had isues of its own, and this was my work-around. If you need to get urgent playbacks for your client (and colour is not an issue yet) maybe try that?

    Without system info and other details nobody can tell you much. This simply means that you run out of (temporary) disk space, maybe because the drive is really full, maybe because you have insufficient user privileges...

  • I am at capacity How can I free up space but not delete music

    My Ipad is at 55.4 gb used 24 gb in music alone. 2.7 gb available so can't do anything  Ipad shuts itself down and won't let me open mail, use facebook, safari.How can I free up space but not delete songs in library   

    Unless you are attempting to download a sizable file, 2.7 GB should be more than enough to continue fucntioning. Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Preview not opening pdf documents

    Why would Preview not open a pdf document?
    I double click on a document and Preview starts but the document does not open. I can open the document in Safari. I have other user accounts and the same document is working properly in all of them. The sharing & permissions looks like it is correct showing me to have Read & Write privileges.

    Thanks, slug. I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night. I tried that and it still isn't working. When I did the repair permissions I did notice though that there were, literally, pages and pages and pages of "ACL found but not expected" lines in tons of System and hidden folders. I mean, repair permissions took almost 3 hours!! What's up with that?

  • A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

    When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
    Any ideas?

    I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
    Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
    From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
    The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
    The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
    Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
    Other combinations FAIL
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
    Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
    Thanks.
