GLITCHES WHEN RENDERING AFTER EFFECTS MOVIES

FORUM,
I have a dual 1gig MDD with 1.5 GIGs ram, last year had a major system meltdown and replaced my mobo and processor cards. Everything has been ok (minor freezes now and again) and I installed a Radeon 9800 pro mac edition ( a few months ago). Since about then, everytime I render a movie in after effects pro 6.5, I get random dropouts in some frames. Anybody having a problem with this type of thing?

Random dropouts could be due to not having enough RAM. anytime AE is performing a Render it uses all the Free RAM it can get ahold of. If your Mac does not have enough Free RAM you can encounter hics burps and dropped frames in all sorts of rendering whethere it is with a video app, a compositing app, or even burning DVD's.
One good bit of advice is to clean out your OSX system caches anytime you go do to a render. make sure nothing else is running in the foreground or background other than OSX and AE. even go as far as taking your Mac off any Network it may be connected too such as an internal LAN or the broadband LAN.
A good freeware utiltiy I use before I do renders for my 3D Animation projects, is called Yasu 2.0
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21674. It allows you to run various common CRON scripts as well as allow you to empty various system caches and frees up much needed RAM for your processes.
If you still have issues with your rendering then I highly advise get more RAM if you can.
you list your Mac as a Dual 1gig MDD. MDD models can take up to 2GB RAM using 4x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 SDRAM DIMM's. PC2700 RAM is not too pricey now and every little bit of RAM will make your apps run faster, especially when you have to Render in AE.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Strange LAV applications open in mass when using after effects? + other

Hey guys, when i use after effect tones of little LAV Splitters and Decoders open;
How do i get rid of this and what does it affect?
OTHER: also sometimes i when i play back clips in after effect, the clips jumps 5 frames forward then 5 frames back randomly, really anoying and all compostion and clips are 29.97 fps :/ (this usally occurs after , after effects has been opened for a while and move of these LAV icons appear? coinsidence?)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Eggy

- version : CS5.5 update 10.5.1.2
- no recent updates
- Windows 7 64bit service pack 1
- CPU: i7-2600k, 12gb ram, Crossfired radeon HD6870, 2x 1TB internatin HDD
- AMD CCC 13.11
- Third party hardware: Twixtor
- footage recorded with x264vfw - H.264 codec into .AVI file and rendered as H.264
-N/a
-I have been editng for around 5 hours and when i RAM preview my clips the fps jumps back and forth and very unfluid (after having told after effects that the file is 29.97fps and not 25fps) I was thinking this might occure with all the LAV things opening when using after effects..
- yes quicktime is installed 7.6.2
- other software running: google chrome
-Twixtor effects installed
- not using openGL
-The problem only occures when i RAM preview, i tried rendering and the clips was fine, but i cant edit with constant fps jumps backwards and forwards.
VIDEO EXAMPLE:
in preview RAM as it goes up the stairs and around the corner it jumps a lot of frame for some reason, i also showed the orignal clip just to show that it is smooth.

"Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

Hi all
I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
- uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
- installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
- looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
- changed my system language to English (USA)
Other CS4 softwares work.
What can i do?

See this page for some additional information about this error.
> I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.

When will After Effects CS6 get a retina update?

I know there are people saying that After Effects works "fine" with retina, but they must not be as picky as me. After Effects is not at all fully compatible, at all. It's not even usable for me. The content viewer does not support retina resolution and is stretched to roughly twice the size that it should be. It's using Apple's percieved resolution and not actual resolution.
This makes the program completely unusable for me as it doesn't accurately represent what is being rendered.
When where there be a fix for this canvas problem?

I hate to throw water on your fire but AE is accurately displaying what would be seen for it's interpolated screen resolution with a retina display even with custom views, Photoshop, on the other hand, is showing you Actual Pixels so the image seems to be 1/2 the size as it would be displayed on a Retina display. I'd rather they fix Photoshop because it's way too hard to make pixel critical judgements in Photoshop at 100% scale than it is in AE on a Retina display.
I'd rather see how it would look on the display than the actual pixels because the pixel density is so high on a retina display that it's nearly impossible, without a magnifying glass, to see if you have artifacts in the edges. The image size of an element in your Comp on a retina display will be the same size as it is on a non retina display computer with the same apparent resolution. IOW a HD comp at 50% on a 15" Dell laptop will be the same size as a HD comp at 50% on a 15" MacBook Pro R.
This is why some web graphics look soft on a Retina display, They are scaled up approximately 200% when the website is not properly styled for high resolution displays.
The same things goes for movies played on a Retina displaya. You're not seeing actual pixels, you're seeing a denser pixel pattern which does give you a slightly better image. That's all I'm going to say about it.

Error when quitting After Effects

Somtimes when I quit After Effects CS6 on my MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz i7 Processor, 6750M Radeon Graphics Card), I receive the following error message:

The error is only appearing on some occassions, not all, and I was wondering what it means.

Still receiving the same error.

Problem Rendering - After Effects CS4 and CS5

Hello,
This problem happens on both my laptops, both of which are more than capable of running and rendering in after effects. When I render the video, it comes out verry choppy and slow. My specs are:
Dell Studio XPS 1645
Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core @ 1.62 GHz
ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5730
8GB of DDR3 RAM
Dell XPS M1730
Intel Core 2 Duo Overclocked to 3.4GHz
NVIDIA 8800M GTX in SLi
8GB of DDR2 RAM
If the problem is with hardware, I'm going to have to wait for my new desktop in August.

I have this issue when I try to render a project and continue to do other work on my computer. It seems as you compete for CPU resources you do corrupt the rendered file. On my core i7 with 32gb of ram and 2 gforce gtx 480's hooked in an sli config, I dont have this problem since more resources are available than what my AMD Phenom II 980 with 16GB and no video card has.
Some of the effects and such are so cpu intensive that to get a good render you need to schedule the render before you leave the office, go to bed, etc. Basically, when you start the render, leave the computer alone and you will get a nice smooth file.
Also, I like to do my renders in Adobe Media Encoder.. you can import a project into it and allow this app to do the render.. seems to render faster than AE..
I know this what posted in October and I amreplying 5 months later but I figure this is good info for someone who finds this searching for a solution to the same problem.

After Effects movie incorrectly imports into FCP

I created text animation in After Effects, and exported for DV:NTSC Anamorphic. The Quick Time Inspector shows the correct settings at Apple Animation, 720 x 480 (872 x 480), Millions +. It also correctly imports into Adobe Premiere Pro as DV:NTSC Anamorphic. Unfortunately, when I import the movie into Final Cut Pro it comes in as 720 x 480 (4:3). Any idea what is going wrong with the import process?
PS Yes, I'm importing into a 16:9 project with a 16:9 sequence.

Well I'll be dipped in...
I had gone to the Item Properties and noticed only that the clip was 720 x 480 without any mention of the 'actual' size. It never occured to me to look for an anamorphic column.
Thanks to both Paul and Neil!

Error when starting After Effects CC / Trying to install AMM

I keep getting an error saying that my Application Manager is missing or damaged whenever I run AE. This is more of an AMM problem than an AE one I think, because I have had this problem before but I was always able to fix it when I reinstalled the Application Manager. So, I downloaded it again and re-installed it (AFTER using the ACC Cleaner Tool) but this time this keeps popping up:
Not sure what to do. None of the my other adobe products work either because I am missing the AMM. Is there another way to make AE work? I need it by tomorrow.
Does this have anything to do with signing up for Creative Cloud because that won't run properly either?
Sorry, n00b here.

After Effects CC

Zblanco I am sorry but what version After Effects are you trying to use CC or CS6? You discuss After Effects CC through the discussion then you state you just signed up for the Creative Cloud but that doesn't work either. Can you please provide additional details. If you can include what operating system you are using and what Adobe Creative applications do you currently have installed?
Finally you mentioned you remove the Adobe Application Manager and reinstalled. How exactly did you accomplish this?

Error messages when installing After Effects

I'm receiving a number of error messages when my computer attempts to install After Effects after downloading it . . . . DW050, DW65, DF036, DW063, DF024. Any ideas what's going on here? (I'm getting the same error messages with Premier Elements and Fireworks and Audition as well.)

OpenGL crash error when opening after effects

When I try to load up After Effects it crashes and says "After effects crashed previously attempting to initialize OpenGL". I have updated my graphics card drivers etc. What do I do

This should help you guys hopefully. I am using the After effects cs6 and it crashes on startup with the error "After effects crahses previously attempting to initialize OpenGL. Consult the manufacturer of your graphics card for a compatible OpenGL driver". I have been using the same GPU for ages now and this has never happened.

Error 0xc000007b when starting After Effects or Indesign

On my Samsung Laptop (Windows Home Premium 64 bit) I get error 0xc000007b when I try to start After Effects or Indesign. Please advise me.

Your installation has a couple Windows components missing. Usually msvcr100.dll and/ or msvcr80.dll. These are part of Microsoft C/C++ Redistributable runtime libraries. They likely can be downloaded from Microsoft, a repair of your ID installation, going to the Install/Uninstall part of the Control Panel and selecting the Microsoft C/C++ Redistributable runtime libraries icon/text and seeing if it has a repair option, etc.
Worse case is likely uninstalling ID, running the Cleaner Tool for you ID version, and reinstalling.

Computer specs for nice 3D rendering/ after effects rendering and video rendering in general ?

Hi there! I would like to know what the perfect specs for a laptop/workstation/computer are, so that I could do my creative work from home..my old laptop (Macbook Pro, 8Gb Ram, V 2010) is not good enough for 3D rendering, not even Video rendering or After Effects... I need to know what graphics card for eg or how much Ram or what I need to look for in a computer so that I won't get any error messages after rendering for half a day anymore...;) (--> very annoying) Money is not a first priority...i would first like to know, what the best option would be that one could have and then down size from there;)
I would appreciate every help:) my laptop is dying...i need something new and better;)
cheers stephs

Regardless of workflow, you want a workstation, not a laptop. You will get much more bang for your buck.
Also, as others have said, Windows machines tend to be better choices than Macs right now. And that's coming from two people who used to use/love Macs...
In general, you want the fastest clock speed on your processor that you can afford. You want as many cores as you can get with that nice, high clock speed.
Ideally, you want 4GB of RAM per core of your processor - MINIMUM 16 GB of RAM, (but get as much as you can afford).
You want an SSD for your cache and a good-sized regular hard drive to hold footage, renders, etc.
GPU matters for Premiere and any third-party plugins that use it (like Red Giant Universe, Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, etc.), but not for AE and not for Cinema 4D (which comes free with AE these days).
Again, this is just some generalization. For more specific info, we'll need to know more about what you're doing.
Also, you don't need to take our word for any of this; read what Adobe has to say on the matter: FAQ: What computer and components should I buy?
