Error in After Effects RAM Preview after updating to Yosemite

There is an issue of RAM preview not showing video for the first several frames (a second or so) on the first run in After Effects.
No problem under Maverick.
Which means it has to do with the yosemite System-update.
This bug should really be fixed with some priority!
Apparently, Adobe cannot fix it (or don't want to).
So it's Apple who has to do something!!!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Adobe After Effects RAM preview crash

    My computer specs:
    Processor: AMD9(Quadcore) A8-5600k APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.60 Ghz
    Memory: 8.00 GB (7.40 Usable)
    64 bit OS and AAE CS6 is 64 as well.
    (I also updated my graphics card driver to Catalyst 12.8 and it still crashes.
    Can someone help me solve this problem with it crashing?

    Are you saying that After Effects closes when you RAM preview? Does it pop up an error message? How far into a RAM preview? How are you initiating this RAM preview? What kind of footage are you using? What effects are in your comp? Does this happen in every project? Has it worked before without crashing? What EXACT OS are you using? What is your EXACT version number of After Effects (11.0.2?) What are your memory and multiprocessing settings?

    Hi there
    As you Already Don't know I'm an After effects Specialist Using it for quite long time . There is an Ancient Problem with CS6 CC versions . I have a short Small size 1080p Video , about 8 MB , I drag it into project panel and then put it into timeline hence it creates a sequence . There are no Effects and nothing added to timeline , just a small simple video . The Strange Problem is when I click "0" for ram preview , The video starts playing and the green bar above timeline starts to fill . When Ram preview Finishes and plays the video from beginning I See there are several frames Between which are not being loaded to Ram ! The video plays RGB color bar instead of main video and when I check the Green bar above Timeline I see that those frames are being dropped and there is no Green bar above them !
    I have had this problem several times before but this time it is too important and the problem should be solved . What is obvious is that some frames are not being rendered or are being deleted after render !
    Another Strange problem is that when I open Task manager , It shows AE uses around 10 GB ! of RAM when I press "0" for Ram previewing this video !
    So there is a Logical explanation here , Somehow when I do ram preview this video it uses extra ordinary too much ram so AE is unable to load the full video (8 MB) into Ram and hence deletes some of frames .
    most of my videos have not this problem and use acceptable amount of ram .I've had this issue with some of my videos till now .
    Listen carefully : "This has nothing to do with AE preferences or low memory or plugins . because there is nothing wrong with any individual components of may hardware or software . I have far more than enough RAM for a 8MB video . My Memory has no hardware or software problem . I tested them and if there was any problem with memory or other hardware that should have affected other applications . I have the most recent AE version . I have the most Recent windows updates and drivers . I have a Clean virus free system , and as a computer engineer this strange AE problem is rarely caused by viruses , trust me . I have not any hardware instead of ones a normal PC has . I have not any problem with my whole entire system configuration because I have benchmarked my PC with several up to date softwares . I have tested my PC with almost any STRESS TESTING solutions available for really long period of time , 3 days by IDA64 . Not any driver conflict , dll missing , registry problem have been discovered , as I know perfectly how to solve them ."
    I asked some of my friend whom are expert in AE . I handed them my videos and Watched ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE ! So the problem isn't related to my Local PC . What i believe is that there is some malfunctioning or miss coded part in AE source code that decides to reserve such a huge strange amount of ram for such a tiny 8MB video . The point is that the AE works fine , no crash or any problem report . So the AE it Self decides to allocate such huge amount of ram and thinks it is correct ! So I think this is a work around that AE developers in adobe are using to bypass a problem or conflict ! by Using more amount of RAM . I think that there might be some miss understanding between the AE and my installed codec . I installed MEGA CODEC PACK on my PC to enable some new codec supports , and so are some of Windows default de/encoders changed to new ones . I think there shouldn't be any problem But there is something wrong between AE and de/encoder modules !
    Please any one with any suggestion , I really appreciate your advices .

    ###UPDATED###
    Well thank you guys for your patience ...
    as you considered I forgot to mention the codec itself and other stuff ...
    The video is in 1080p , 35 sec long , it is a green screen shot , this video is directly downloaded from YouTube and plays perfectly on all tested PCs . here are detailed info :
    Format                                   : MPEG-4
    Format profile                          : Base Media
    File size                                 : 8.55 MiB

    Scan type                                 : Progressive
    NOTICE : This video is just for testing the lighting and etc , and so the Sampling and other specs are not considered for broadcast .
    I think you hit the point ! Thats K-lite codec pack installed on every machine which the video is tested on ! The point is whats wrong with it ?! I have had never ever any problem with this codec pack !!!
    The deadly question : So what are the alternative ways to work with codecs that AE doesn't support ?! because installing codec looks simple and sufficient !

  • After Effects Ram Preview Help

    Hello. I have recently got into after effects, and haven't had this problem until i deleted and then re downloaded AE (I was having a problem with creative cloud) So, I usually I want to render a 10 second clip, which isn't much, but when I try and render it with RAM Preview, it only renders about one second. I looked at other forum posts, and they suggested to upgrade your ram, but I have 12GB's of RAM dedicated to after effects, and my computer ONLY has 12, so I'm really stuck here. if someone could help me, that would be great as I really can't do anything in AE without a full RAM preview. Thank you.

    12 GB RAM isn't much for After Effects.  You also need to allow for some RAM usage by the system for it to work properly.

  • After Effects RAM Preview not showing first 50 frames or so - Mac OS

    So I'm on a 2012 iMac, and when i RAM preview,  it plays audio but video does not show until about 50 or 60 frames in, its like a glitch or lag thats started recently, so it makes ram previewing from a certain time a real pain as i then miss the exact part i want and it c matches up with video a second or two later, i can't find any solutions, please help!!

    As Andrew says, Adobe and Apple are working on figuring this bug out. See the known issues section of this page: After Effects good to go with Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite)
    If you let the RAM preview loop at the end of its playback and play through again, it should be smooth and issue-free.

  • After effects ram preview video playback issue

    Greetings -- I have Mac Pro 2.93 GHz 12 Core with Nvidia Quadro 4000 & 24GB Ram.
    During ram preview playback, it seems as though the video isn't refreshing fast enough in the display -- meaning its almost as if I can see the refresh on the top/bottom half of the frame happening separately.  It's a bit diffucut to describe, actually.  This does not happen with the same clip in Premiere, just AE.
    The rendered video is fine and plays in QT/VLC, etc. without issue, it's just ram preview and is very distracting.
    Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated!

    CS6, 720p clip, 100%, Full, 29.97 fps. This may be related to the preview settings... It seems to go away if I turn it to final quality v.s. adaptive.

  • My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.

    My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.even if I restart. I'm not able to acces any of the top tools.

    What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
    You can reset the workspace to its default by deleting your preferences folder.
    Information on finding and deleting the preferences folder can be found here, in After Effects Help:

  • Audio glitches during ram preview after CC update

    Howdy folks,
    Just wondered if anyone has noticed a degradation of performance in AfterEffects ram previews since updating CC?  I have.  Every time I do a ram preview the sound continually cuts out.  I never had this problem before, now it's consistent.  Any ideas how this can be fixed?  Or is it possible to downgrade AE back to the last version?
    Many thanks,
    Fredo

    To what CC update are you referring? If you're referring to the latest version 13, what happens if you open it in version 12?

  • 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,

    Can I run CS6 After Effects Fast Preview on my iMac with Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB?

    Okay - thats great wasn't down for the expense of buying a new mac but is there a reason why my preview is cutting off or choppy. This is the reason I asked in the first place. I can't seem to get After Effects to run the full the length of the animation without it stopping in the middle and looping to the the beginning.

  • After Effects unrender RAM preview after stop playing it.

    Hi! We have 5 workstations running After Effects CS6 on different computers, from HP z820, HP z800, and also on OSX Mac Pro, all of them with or AJA cards or BlackMagic Studio cards. On all of these stations, which they have no less than 24 GB or RAM, and working with 30 Seconds ads, so we have more than enough RAM to keep previews on RAM, they play fine once rendered to RAM, but we observe that most of the times, after hitting stop, and even without doing anything else, the green line is gone in a heartbeat, in some areas of the spot, this gets even worse if we use multiprocessing rendering, in which case, it always vanishes after playing and hitting stop. Without using the multiprocessing, it happens less often, and if we turn off the video monitoring with the AJA or Decklink cards, it happens even less often....  this is happening in several computers we use, and I find hard to believe that we are the only people with this problem? since I have not seen any other reports of this...  anyone?
    Thanks

    Other than the AJA and Blackmagic cards, have you added anything to the systems' hardware?
    No, but not sure if the video card...  I can, like I said before, load to RAM and play fine source footage, it never loses the green line...
    What plugins have you added?
    Many, but it happens right now on what I'm working on, and I have no plugins in use, only 4 layers with alpha coming from MAX which I'm comping together.
    What codec packs have you added?
    How can this be relevant? It happens with any format, on once rendesred to RAM, it has no codec, its the internal AE format. It happens with any kind of source.
    At what point in the complexity of the comps does this start happening? Is it number of layers or number of precomps in use?
    Well, right now is happening with something extremelly simple, just 4 layers from a 3D render and nothing on it.... I render to ram, it plays, I stop... green line vanishes....
    Have you seen this happen before or just in this version of AE?
    I have seen this for years... just never really paid much attention to it becuase never considered AE very good at it, but CS6 on of the sales points is how much better caching is... and its not in our case..
    As a side note: this is a user-to-user forum. Granted, we are often blessed by the presence of Adobe employees, but it's not guaranteed. There are official tech support channels and an official bug report page that you can use to make sure this is seen by an actual Adobe person.
    Thanks! I will report on the official channel once I have something I can reproduce on demand on how to make the program to fail.
