  • CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro

    I am using CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro with footage from a Canon 5D Mark III. Shooting/editing 1080p 24 (or at least their version of it). What are the best render settings/codecs to use to export from AE for import into Premiere Pro other than the animation codec or Pro Res? I dont have Pro Res and the animation codec is great but the file size slows down the app. Thx in advance.
    Or a few resources to explain the whole codec/export/bitrate/etc issue once and for all for different situations wether it be brodcast or internet or simply burning a dvd to play on a HD TV. It is almost like this is some kind of secret no one will tell...LOL...i cant find a difinitive answer anywhere.

    As is stated above there are Production codecs which can be lossless, nearly lossless, and at higher bit depth. Production Codecs include Uncompressed (huge files but fast do decode and will not playback in real time) Editing Codecs like Black Magic, Avid, ProRez, and others that are smaller, can still be lossless, may support alpha channels and higher bit depths, and Archival Codecs like Microcosm, JPEG2000, PNG, which support alpha channels, are lossless, and on some systems, will playback in real time.
    Editing codecs are specifically designed to be played back in a NLE. These are good choices for a Premiere Pro / AE workflow. So are Archival Codecs. If your project involves a lot of sharing of files between users and apps, then pick a format common to everyone that is at the highest bit depth your storage system can accommodate.
    There are also image sequence formats. These include PSD sequences, TGA, TIFF, PNG and others. Some support higher bit depth (32bit Float). Image Sequences work great, have advantages when it comes to correcting just a few frames here and there, and are used to a great extent in professional production pipelines. They are much more flexible than video but they have a distinct disadvantage when it comes to keeping track of the files and keeping things organized.
    Then there are delivery codecs. These are designed for playback. They are not suitable for production because delivery codecs use GOP compression, are limited to low bit depth, and are not lossless. IOW, if you render to a delivery codec, then you process and render again to the same codec the artifacts start to build up. H.264 for example, after just 2 or 3 passes, even at very high quality settings, falls completely apart.
    Consumer and ProSumer cameras use delivery codecs for image capture. Your Cannon 5D does. This is OK, and it's the only option you've got with some cameras, but the best workflow for these types of capture systems is to transcode the footage to a production codec before you do anything. Production codecs will render faster because it takes less time to decode the footage for processing. You should never render AVCHD or MPEG footage back to the same codec. Always use a production codec until you're project is ready to archive and deliver.
    One note on ProRez on Windows. This is not a good idea for production. You cannot maintain proRez native 10bit color space. You should not render to ProRez using 3rd party workarounds because you're just building a proRez container for a windows compressed video. Sure, it will playback on a Mac, but the actual image will have lost important detail and color depth.
    Let me give my humble opinion on Dynamic Link. This works great for a shot or two in a Premiere Sequence. This works great for working with Audio in Premiere and Audition. This works great for rendering for delivery or even production using the Adobe Media Encoder. Did you note my second sentence? Dynamic link between AE and Premiere Pro for a few shots in a sequence is a good idea and a time saver, but if you're cutting a film that's over a few minutes, each scene should be it's own sequence. If the scene has more than just a few shots that need to be processed in After Effects then using Dynamic Link can easily become a monster you don't want to deal with. The key to efficient post production of an effects laden production is planning. You've got to cut for story first, then produce your effects shots with sufficient handles (extra frames) to allow some fine tuning, then recut the final. Any other workflow on a long project is just wasting time.

  • MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012) v MacBook Pro 15 inch (mid 2014) for After Effects and Premiere

    Hi everyone,
    I'm interested in working with After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 probably creating quite heavily layered files and experimenting with and combining effects. (I also work with Photoshop and Illustrator.)
    My workplace allows me to use a 2.5 GHz Intel Dual Core i5 / MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012, non retina) with hard disk and integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB). I understand this Mac can be maxed out at 16GB of RAM. (Official Apple specs I realise say 8GB RAM is the max for this computer but I've looked into this thoroughly and have confirmed that 16GB is in fact possible.)
    I'm considering purchasing one of the new Haswell based MacBook Pro (mid 2014) models for myself.
    If I do, I'll get the retina 15 inch / Intel Quad Core i7 / 16GB RAM / Intel Iris Pro Graphics / NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M / 1TB Flash Storage.
    I realise there is a big difference between these two machines in terms of their specs - the 15 inch with the dedicated GPU will be far more suited to motion graphics work than the lower spec machine with integrated graphics card.
    Currently, my understanding is that After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 do not support the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M but from research on the net I believe it's possible to add this video card to the list of supported cards within the respective applications, forcing them to recognise and use it.
    Having read about the upcoming Broadwell chip, which I think may be capable of supporting 32GB RAM (possibly coming in Q2 2015 from the various websites I've visited) I wonder if it is worth holding off my purchase, and maxing out my older 13 inch laptop in order to run After Effects and Premiere for the time being.
    If I waited for Broadwell based 15 inch MacBooks I think its likely they'll be expandable to 32GB RAM, making the computer a better long term investment.
    eg if Adobe increase minimum/recommended memory requirements for their software in the next few years. While I don't know for sure this will happen, it does seem quite likely at some stage. The 2014 15 inch MacBook - while an excellent computer at the moment - could potentially be slightly limited with regard to future Adobe software releases as its max RAM is 16GB.
    I realise I could potentially look at a high end iMac if memory is a concern, but I prefer the portability of a laptop so I'm restricting myself to portable options for the moment.
    What I'm wondering is -
    If I install the 13 inch 2.5GHz i5 laptop with 16GB RAM as is possible, how would it perform when running After Effects and Premiere? It currently has 4GB and it very quickly runs out of memory meaning playback of goes very slowly when previewing complex files in the timeline. This necessitates rendering of small test sections of the timeline to see it at the correct frame rate. Would the move from 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM give me a noticeable improvement in this regard? If so then this is tempting as I don't have to pay for it - I think my workplace will cover the cost of extra RAM. And then I can wait till next year to buy my own high end laptop.
    The 15 inch 2.8GHz i7 quad processor has Iris Pro and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT750M with 2GB RAM. I would be paying the full cost myself.
    I realise rendering would be faster with this Mac but would I see a noticeable improvement over the maxed out 13 inch laptop when previewing multi layered After Effects and Premiere compositions / sequences within the timeline? I like the idea of being able to preview footage in real time as I'm editing as it saves time and I think it makes the process easier generally.
    Any thoughts welcome and thanks very much in advance for your time and advice.
    Kind regards,
    John

    "It currently has 4GB and it very quickly runs out of memory meaning playback of goes very slowly when previewing complex files in the timeline."
    "In this case yes, I can most certainly see a performance increase as your machine is still not too old and a RAM increase will help it for sure I just can't tell you by how much.
    I own the same machine as yours (except for mine having 2.9ghz and i7, and 8GB of ram) so I think it's safe to say for me that the RAM increase will help you for sure."
    That statement of mine answers your question you just asked

  • Support for nvidia gtx-980 for after effects and premiere

    Can someone tell me when Adobe is going to give CUDA support for the Nvidia gtx-980 video cards in After Effects and Premiere CS6?  I purchased this card specifically for those programs, and DON'T want to do a subscription to Creative Cloud.  I purchased the Master Collection through Adobe, and understand that CC versions support it.  Why can't Adobe issue a btch file or update to include these cards.  I am aware of OpenGl support, but I would like to add my new card.  I also just purchased an i7-4790K to upgrade from i5-3570 to help speed up rendering, but would really like to see the video card supported.

    The simple answer is no.

  • After Effects and Premiere dont start on a new Mac.

    Heyho community,
    one thing up front... my english is not the best, so please be patient if i dont understand everything straightaway.
    my macbook is just a few weeks old, means i am a noob to mac osx.
    i recently installed the adobe creative suite and photoshop, illustator  and flash are working fine. but after effects and premiere wont start. i  sse the starting window and then it breaks.
    i guess that it has somwthing to do with admin rights, something like that i have read in some other forums.
    my main account is admin and maybe i have to start the programs with root rights, but i dont have any idea how to do this.
    anyway... if i am completly wrong with that admin-guess, tell me.
    Another Thing that may help you finding some ideas for solving the problem.
    if i directly start after effects in terminal, it shows inside terminal this error message:
    error for object 0x122a2c1b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
    And another thing... if i start the mac in save mode i can run both  programs, but if i try it in normal mode againt they dont work.
    Any  suggestions?
    Regards from germany

    I have reinstalled everything now, then running the cleanscript and repairung rights with the intsall dvd. now it still wont work. maybe this changelog out of the terminal will help you:

  • Need a laptop for running After Effects and other video editors

    Alright, I'm looking for a laptop that can run Adobe After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop smoothly(Mainly After Effects). My current laptop  a $400 HP Compaq is capable of running those programs but not without constant freezing and slowness, specifically in After Effects and Premiere. Ideally it could run Adobe After Effects and Premiere simultaneously without being slow.
    My maximum budget is $1200. I've browsed a good deal myself, but I haven't seen much that has caught my eye. I'm looking for a Windows laptop that also has a monitor that is at least 16". All of these programs are CS5. I'm here because I want to get the most out of my budget as I can, and hopefully people more experienced in Adobe products can help me out.
    Ask any questions you have incase I left anything out.
    Thanks for your time,

  • Problem Downloading CC After Effects and Premiere

    I recently purchased Creative Cloud, and I tried installing it into my computer. I got almost all the programs, except After Effects and Premiere. (the two main ones I was going for) I have another computer everything installed on just fine, but I really need them on my main computer. Neither of the programs are showing up in the Creative Cloud app either. Any help would be great, thanks.

    If they don't show up, your machine doesn't meet the system requirements. Refer to the Tech Specs on the product pages. All video apps require 64bit and specific minimum versions of operating systems.

  • Can't render quicktime movies in After Effects and Premiere

    I've just bought and installed Creative Cloud on my new laptop using Windows 8. I installed Quciktime Pro after installing the Adobe programs. Whenever I try to render a project into a Quicktime movie in both After Effects and Premiere then it doesn't work, an error message comes up straight away and the render fails. There is no problem when rendering AVIs.
    My version of Quicktime pro is up to date and have installed the recent updates for the Adobe programs. I'm sure I am doing something wrong but have no idea what it is.
    If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

    Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

    in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
    in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
    (I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

  • Use After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 with Creative Cloud license

    I have a one-year license for Creative Cloud, but because I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7, I can't use After Effects and Premiere Pro. On the website I read that for users with a 32bit OS it is possible to use AE and PP CS4 with the CC license. But I can't find a way to download CS4 with my Creative Cloud account. Can anybody help me with this? Is it possible to download CS4 with a CC license?

    I have marked the remark in red. It says: "If you want to use the Windows XP supported After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to download the CS-4-versions of the software with your Creative Cloud Membership. U can also use these versions with a 32-bit Windows Operating System."

    Are you getting an error message? If not, what is the last thing that the startup screen says?
    It may be a problem with something in the preferences folder being corrupt. Try deleting the entire preferences folder and restarting. See this page for the location of the preferences folder.
    It also may be that you have something running in your admin account that is blocking a port that is needed for internal communication for After Effects and Premiere Pro. See this page for more detail about that possibility.

  • Why does it looks different in after effect and Premiere?

    Hey
    I am pretty new to Trapcode Forms from (redgiant)  and After Effects and Premiere Pro CC. Usually I do still photos.
    Well - the problem is that when I make a trapcode Form in After  effects it looks great after I have rendered it - but when I put it into  Adobe Premiere Pro and make it a part of the movie - it looks not that  good. It looks like it is jagged or something like that.
    so What am I doing wrong in Premiere?
    I guess I it is something to do with my final output or my setting of the scene

    Here is the setting for Premiere Pro CC and the settings for AF is default - and the difference is very different. The AF is Smooth and clear... the Premiere Pro CC is not..  Hope this helps...
    And the difference in file size if ENORMOUS...

  • What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

    I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
    Here's my system:
    SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
    As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
    What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

    ...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement  as  CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
    However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!
