Graphics cards and After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Sony Vegas...which is best?

Debating between two EVGA cards for a new build.
I don't game at all, but I want the most kickass system I can for After Effects CS6, Premiere Pro CS6, and Sony Vegas.
Kepler option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130768
Fermi option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130687
Will spending more and waiting for Kepler net that much of a performance gain? Is there anywhere with good benchmarks on GPUs just for Adobe products and video editing? Which matters more and for what: OpenGL, Cuda, Memory Size, Clock speed?

It's not pointless. I know which cards are supported and which aren't. I'm not confused about which is supported. I know the 680 is not explicitly supported (yet?), but OpenGL and CUDA will still provide some benefit or no?
The GTX 580 and GTX 570 seem to "compute" far better than the GTX 680. I was kind of wondering real world what that mean for PP and AE and what it didn't mean.
I guess some of my interest is in understanding practically what a few more CUDA cores will do or what makes the OpenGL performance of a card better: Cuda, Memory Size, Clock Speed...what.
Ie, is the GTX 680 justified when it seems like it might not be a big enough bang for the buck.

Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file. You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

New build for After Effects, Premiere Pro and C4D

I was supposed to upgrade back in december, but that project got held off because of a financial emergency, but now i got some money set aside, i'll like it if i could get advice on this build.
CPU : Core i7 5820K 6-core 3.3ghz
Cooler : Noctua NH-D15
MB : Asus X99-A
RAM : Crucial 4x8 GB DDR4 2133 mhz CL15
HDs : Already own a SSD and a few others
GPU : Asus GeForce GTX970 STRIX
PS : EVGA Supernova G2 750 watts
Case : Cooler Master HAF 932 (already owned)
I intend to overclock the processor to around 4ghz, am i well set to achieve this with this setup ?
I use After Effects the most, but i'm really digging 3D and will probably use it more and more, I guess my priority would be good render times and a smooth experience in softwares.
Thank you !

"I just installed the GTX 970 into my Adobe CC environment.
INCREDIBLE. I created a 4096 sequence, scaled up a 1080 clip to full screen, applied Gaussian blur, Noise, and rotated it on two 3D axes (keyframed), with color correction....
It played back fullscreen, full speed, no dropped frames, and the GPU load never even broke a sweat beyond 19%.
My previous card was a GTX 560 SE. This is not an upgrade, it is a paradigm shift.
Premiere accepted the card after the polite "Enable this unsupported GPU" notice.
Exports (at least to H.264) are taking the card up to about 76%."

I cannot find After Effect , Premier Pro and Light Room from my key license.

Best graphics card for After Effects CC?

Been pondering which CUDA card to get for my "Mid 2012" Mac Pro as I was sadled with a useless AMD Radeon HD 5870 by the systems builder, so even though I have 12 cores I get very little acceleration from Premiere Pro & After Effects CC when editing Canon 5D shot 1080p video.
So bottom line for a minimum spend that will also have a MiniDisplay port for my Apple Ciname screen, which of the listed Nvidia CUDA cards would you buy from the official list below?
GeForce GTX 285
GeForce GTX 675MX
GeForce GTX 680
GeForce GTX 680MX
GeForce GT 650M
Quadro CX
Quadro FX 4800
Quadro 4000
Quadro K5000

UPDATE: I bought the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB in the end for my Mind 2012 Mac Pro (running Maverick 10.9.3) and it worked perfectly (well the Mac hung on first boot and I discovered I had to switch off my 27" Apple Cinema Display at the wall socket to reset it and then rebooted and worked perfectly)
It has sped up playback and rendering of 1080p HD video in Premiere and After Effects, almost realtime encoding when exporting in Media Encoder (unless I use Speedgrade which slows down rendering by 4 times!)
I even managed to sell my old ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card on Amazon, so was a cheap upgrade in the end and well worth it.

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

After Effect / Premiere Pro CC 2014 Video Importing Conflicts

Why are my Adobe software packages not cooperating? PRes imported out of AE and into PPRO, but no die? Why?
Today I have a brand new MacBook Pro, I also have Adobe CC installed, predominantly for PremierePro and After Effects.
First issue - With ProRes video files exported successfully from Davinci Resolve not being imported into AE. After a few hours of failed attempts, head scratching and searching online I found I had to delete certain files from the hard drive / Quicktime folder (DVCPROHDCodec.component / ApplDVCPROHDCodec.compnent / etc) It seems now that AE has these codecs packaged into the application (?)
Anyway this worked! And I was able to import files in without 'after effects 86. error 4. reading file from frame'. Popping up endlessly.
Second issue - I work on an AE composition & try to export as a PremierPro file from AE, this works and I open with Premire Pro, but some video files on the timeline are missing (?)
So I decide to go the long route and export the composition as a single clip at ProRes from After Effects. I attempt to bring this clip into Premiere Pro and I get another error 'The importer reported a generic error'.
This is highly frustrating, I want to know what Adobe are doing to provide the relevant support for us enthusiastic movie makers and editors. I seem to spend most of my time trying to get my software packages working
with one another than making creative content and this really is unproductive and irritating, especially since these softwares are from the same company.

Go to HD/Library/Quictime and delete all .component files. It appears that the correct procedure is to delete all QT components and everything so far works. I have to do this every time I run after effects or Premiere Pro, and remember to put them back in again after shutting down software. Any ideas why this is happening folks?

Producing a Video - Best Render Settings for After Effects & Premiere Pro?

Hi Guys,
I just want to make sure I am producing my video the right way .... it takes an awfully long time and I have to use 2 programs....
First I have a 1080p HD Camcorder - so when I shoot my videos I want to ensure they are 1080p.
So I do my editing in After Effects and produce the video as an AVI file - and usually a 5 min clip outputs as 70GB (Full Quality Settings)
I then take this video and import it into Premiere Pro and produce it as WMV file (Full Quality) and then the final output is 200MB and the quality is not lost - so I am happy.
So my question is am I doing it the best way?
I tried to produce it as a WMV straight from After Effects but I am not sure what settings to pick that will keep the quality and not make the filesize huge - so I am forced to use 2 programs.
So if there is an easier way let me know ... bc it sucks using 2 programs to render out the video.
And also is that normal - 200mb for a 5 min clip or is that still too big?
Remember I want to keep things 1080p.
If you want to see a sample of my video that I am producing - you can watch my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/socialmindz
Thanks for your help.

Is My 512Mb graphics card enough to run Premiere Pro on Creative Cloud?

My graphics card on My 2009 Macbook Pro is :

Will it be enough to allow me to run CC?

Even the cheapest current laptops would have far better performance with Adobe than that MBP. I would definitely start looking at a new solution.

After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

Loss of video quality & shaking on DVD after using premiere pro and encore to process material?

Hi guys,
This is my first post out here on the adobe forums (so be gentle) and i am having a small issue which i hope someone can help with.
I made a small video for a friend of mine of her and her partner over the last 10 years of them being together. There is only one small video piece at the start and the rest of the video is picture based with music in the background. Now, i cut, mixed and edited all this material they gave me in Premiere Pro. I also added menu breaks to be able to eventually create scenes in Encore.This worked fine and the quality was great! I then queued this up and added my time line into Encore and began working on the menu screen, scene buttons and using the orphanage to drag my content from. I also set up some poster frames and so far all looked great.
Before building the DVD, i tested for errors and all came back clear. I changed it burning directly to a dvd disc, and instead built it as a DVD image, which created an ISO file on on my pc. From watching a few tutroials, ImgBurn was suggested as a great tool to burn the ISO onto DVD. So far, this was looking good. I then placed my new DVD into my Blu-Ray/DVD player and on screen came this pixelated image. I wasnt terrible, but it wasnt great either, not the sort of quality i was used to. I proceeded to start the movie and the picture was worse, the screen was shaking up and down constantly (only by about half a centimeter up and half down) and the quality was terrible.
Is there anyway to fix this?
(Happy to run through all my settings with someone on the phone or online. Happy to call overseas in need be, as i am in Australia)
Thanks guys
Rein

erm... ok, you might have to go back a page or two... cause i am not so familiar with all the terms and lingo....lol
Where would i find this field dominance?
I did initially export it as a bluray, but then had to change it to dvd since i dont have a bluray burner. They dont give you any other options in encore besides DVD, Bluray or flash...

Application manager is missing some apps, after effects, premeire pro and others

title says it all , is this a bug or something
I need to get after effects on my machine but I cant??

If they don't show up, then your system doesn't support them. All video apps require a 64bit operating system. Refer to the Tech Specs on teh product pages.

Speaker buzz and interference in Premiere Pro and Audition CS5.5

Several months ago I upgraded to an Asus G10AC PC for my editing. When I first started using the Asus I was using a basic 5.1 computer speaker system plugged in using the 3.5mm headphone jack for sound. I noticed right away that when I opened Premiere Pro or Audition I would hear some interference similar to when you put a cell phone too close to a wireless transmitter (buzzing and beeps). I assume it is picking up something from the hard drive(s) or MoBo. The noises didn't show up in my exported files so I lived with it.
Recently I added a Behringer Q802USB mixer and some PreSonus monitors for more accurate audio editing. So now all of my audio is more defined and easier to hear accurately. The beeps and buzzing don't seem to be an issue but what I hear now is a constant high pitch sound from both speakers but more from the left than the right.
But what is strange is that the high pitch sound is only there when either of the 2 Adobe windows (Pp or Au) are active. I can use windows explorer, QuickTime and windows movie maker to play audio and video files and they are clean. As soon as I click away from the Adobe windows the high pitch sound disappears. I can even RAM preview clips in After Effects and the sound is clean. When I plug in headphones to the PC I constantly hear the buzzes and beeps no matter what is open, but the high pitch sound isn't there or it is at least not as noticeable. I also tried disconnecting the USB cable from the mixer and reconnected using a 1/8" male from the headphone that splits the signal out to 2 1/4" male outputs to connect to an input on the mixer. Same noise issue all around so from what I can tell the issue isn't the USB connection or the mixer.
To double check that it wasn't a mixer issue I connected it to my Sager laptop using the USB and everything is crystal clear no matter what I play the audio on (Pp, Au, windows explorer, YouTube, QT, etc). This laptop is usually connected to the same mixer but using one of the headphone cables that splits to the 2 1/4" males.
This sounds like an issue with my PC but I wanted to check here since the issue only occurs when Pp or Au are open. Is there something that these 2 programs gain access to that the other sound producing programs do not? And to clarify, it isn't only when playing audio in these 2 programs. The noise begins as either program begins loading and is constant until I click to a different window. Sometime I actually have to close out of Pp to get it to stop. Could it have something to do with these 2 programs having access to the microphone function? And I am not tech savvy enough to understand if the 2 Adobe programs use the same drivers as the other programs that do not have the sound issue.
I briefly attempted trouble shooting the audio drivers but the computer says that I my driver is up to date. I tried manually replacing it and switching to ASIO but couldn't get it to accept it so I went back to the original driver and setting.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Cole

Thanks for the fast response Richard.
I thought that too but what is causing it to only happen when engaging these 2 programs? It seems if it was a grounding problem it would be universal for all programs that produce sound. It is only when these 2 programs begin loading and while they are selected.
Do you have any theory about what component they are accessing that brings this interference into play? At first I figured it must be sound card related but wouldn't the other programs that produce sound also call upon the same hardware and drivers when playing audio?

After effects & Premiere Pro CC problems -HELP-

Hi everyone,
I'm having some slight issues with after effects and adobe premiere CS6 CC on my notebook.
I downloaded the CC and can install all the apps, and every app (photoshop, illustrator, mediaencoder etc all work.
My notebook specs:
8GB ram
Nvidia 840M
(It says there is an integrated graphics aswell, maybe this could be the issue? that AE and Premiere select this one instead of the 840M)
Samsung evo 250GB SSD (Bootup drive and this is where CC is installed)
500GB HDD 7200rpm
For after effects:
When I run AE it starts the loading screen, but it crashes almost right away when it says "Initializing Mediacore" and gives this error:
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <7304>
<GPUmanager> <2> Sniffer Result Code 3
(Error code 0 :: 42)
I think it has something to do with my VGA drivers, but I have uninstalled all the Nvidia and Intel drivers and installed both the newest and previous versions of drivers. But none fixed the issue.
Now heres where it gets interesting. yesterday I decided to test if a cracked version of AE CS6 worked on my computer. And it did, it openend smoothly and everything worked as far as I could test.
After testing I unistalled the cracked version (completly wiped everything), and reinstalled CC. But still no luck.
As for Premiere, the moment the loading screen pops up it says "Adobe Premiere CS6 has stopped working". All I can click is cancel, and when I do it just closes Premiere.
I saw a thread where someone said the issue was Nvidia geforce Experience. But even when I don't install this AE and Premiere don't work.
hope I gave you all enough information!
thanks for your time

Graphics card for After Effects?

Just getting into AE on CC, well. AE full stop, and trying to render 3D is painfully slow, I'm on an IMac 27 inch with
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Any advice out there dudes, do I need a better graphics card?
Cheers,

See this for details of how the GPU is (and isn't) used by After Effects:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html
When you say that "trying to render 3D is painfully slow", what exactly do you mean? Using Cinema 4D? Element 3D? The ray-traced 3D renderer?
If it's the last one that you're referring to (the ray-traced 3D renderer), I have to ask why you would be using that.
If it's Cinema 4D, then you need to focus on the CPU, not the GPU.
If it's Element 3D or Zaxwerks plug-ins, then it's OpenGL that you need to focus on.
By the way, if you're "just getting into" After Effects, then 3D is not the place to start. Start here to learn After Effects: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
