How to get RAM Preview in PP CS5?

Hello, I'm recently trying out premiere, and the biggest thing that is bothering me right now is that I can't find the RAM preview. I don't have the required graphics card to get the Mercury Playback Engine, but I would at least expect to be able to build a RAM preview to playback part of my timeline smoothly. I am new to premiere, but I remember using After Effects CS4 last year, and there was a way to build a RAM preview so I could watch certain parts of my video without it being choppy. Right now all I get it choppy playback and I can't view my work.
Also, is there a way to lower the preview screen resolution in order to get faster RAM preview. Just like After Effects has 'Full' 'Half' 'Third' etc. I would really appreciate some help, thanks a lot!

Thanks to both of you guys help. When I remove all effects on the clips, it plays fine (some chops here and there, but mostly fine), but if I have an effect (Color Correction) on it then it's choppy. I can't deal with choppiness at all since I edit music videos where I need to see every quick cut I make. So I guess I would have to disable all effects when I need to preview.

I wouldn't mind doing the rendering, but it seems that it's rending the whole 1080p uncompressed video when I do that which is why it's taking so long. Is there a way to change the render settings to let's say 640x480 or lower? That way I can just get a quick simple low resolution render? Also, I tried changing the resolution of the preview screen, but it won't let me go lower than 1/4. Any reason for that?
Thanks again for all your help. I'm still mad that there's no RAM preview.

I'm still new to CS5 so still learning it but you can change your render bar at the top of your time line. Just grab one end and slide it toward the center to make it smaller then grab the center of it (a fist will appear as you cursor) and slide the whole bar over the area you want to render. Doing that will allow you to render any one or two second section of your time line by just hitting the Enter key. I know that's not what you're looking for but that's all I know at this time and it will help you a little.

Sorry, but I tried to fix the Quote that I included and just made it worse. Gotta figure that out too.

How to limit RAM preview to the work area?

Sorry for mistakes, I'm German!
My RAM preview is not limited to my work area and I couldn't find any way to change this behavior. Is there a preference to check or any other solution?
I'm using (I don't know, which information is needed, so I'll list everything I have in mind):
Windows 7 64bit,
After Effects CS5 10.0.1.19,
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz,
GeForce 9300M GS
It would be great to get an answer, so I thank you in advance!

Thanks a lot!
I don't know why I couldn't figure it out because I actually tried this out, too...
But anyway, thank you!

How to get to 'Preview a range of adjustments.....' in Editor

I've upgraded from PSE7 to PSE8.
One of the features I saw for the PSE8 editor was described as
'Preview a range of adjustments before choosing the best one'.
How do I get to that feature in Editor?
Thanks!

I think that description was referring to Quick Fix (Edit Quick tab)
If you look next to the Slider for "Lighten Shadows" for example, there is a square that is sort of like a tic-tac-toe grid.
-- Click on that grid and the grid will expand to thumbnails below the slider.
-- Then hover over one of the thumbnails and
-- the After image will show you what the photo would look like with that amount of adjustment. (the slider also moves to show you where it would be positioned according to the thumbnail where you are hovering)
-- try hovering over several differrent thumbnails to see results with that amount of adjustment
-- click on the thumbnail when you find the adjustment that you want
Note: you can also drag within a given thumbnail to make finer adjustments.
One of the thumbnails will contain a Reset circular symbol so you can easily reset that adjustment - perhaps you will decide that you do not want to adjust the "Lighten Shadows" or whatever slider where you are currently using that grid..
Now this is actually more difficult to describe than to go experiment with - so give it a try.

No Numeric Keypad on New MacBook Pro...How do you RAM preview?!?!?

Title says it all. My old PowerBook G4 had the keypad accessible with the "fn" key. I just realized my brand new MacBook Pro, doesn't. How in the world do you access the vital preview controls, such as RAM and audio preview?
Please help!
Thanks.

^Unfortunately, not any more. As I mentioned above, Apple have removed Numpad functions from the current release of MacBook Pros (released February 26 2008). I have a 17" MacBook Pro that is about 8 weeks old, and can verify this is the case. No Numpad toggle. The Numpad variants are no longer printed on the keys because the Fn key no longer provides that functionality.
This issue is being complained about all over DigiDesign and Apple's forums and The Cow. Strangely, a few of the Fn-key variants still work: Fn-Return=Enter, Fn-Arrow keys = PgUp/PgDn/Home/End. But you cannot create Numpad entries using the Fn key.
This is confirmed on the "switch To A Mac" website:

How to get the preview and edit screen on the same size?

Hi!
I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro cs6. When I import a video, the size is normal in the preview screen (the actual video's size), but when I insert it into the edit screen, it zooms in a little bit and I don't see everything in the video.
Though my settings are 'fit' and '1/2' for the preview window and also 'fit' and '1/2' for the edit window.
Does anyone what could be wrong? Or does anyone know how I can reset the settings to the factory defaults?
Thanks in advance,
Lotte

When I drag clips from source to timeline, they automatically are zoomed in. What do I do?

After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

Hi everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
• 6GB reserved for other applications
• Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
• After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
• Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
• CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
• RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
• Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
I've since tried -
Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
Lots of combinations.
But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
The chose Edit > Purge > All
And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.
Read these:

After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

RAM preview questions

1. Is there a way within the AE interface to monitor the amount
of used / available RAM during an active RAM preview?
2. Is there a way to display the number of the frame that is currently
being processed during the course of a RAM preview?
3. Is there a way to initiate a RAM preview in reverse beginning
from the current frame? Alternatively, is there a way to initiate
a "spacebar preview" in reverse beginning from the current frame?
4. Is there a way to retain the processed frames of a RAM preview
after making a timeline change that does not affect the already
processed frames?
Question 4 examples:
-RAM preview first 120 frames, view result, extend the active
work area to lengthen the RAM preview, the entire RAM preview
needs to be re-rendered from beginning.
-RAM preview first 120 frames, interrupt and view, activate hidden
layer that begins at frame 100, the entire RAM preview needs to
be re-rendered from beginning.
thanks

First of all: I'm German, I make mistakes!
I don't know any real solution for any of your questions, but I have some work-arounds:
1. Is there a way within the AE interface to monitor the amount
of used / available RAM during an active RAM preview?
1. On Windows 7 you could look at the (I think it's called:) mini application on your desktop that indicates the usage of processor and RAM simply by hovering with your mouse over the little bar at the far bottom right, that shows the desktop. That's what I do!
If your not comfortable with that (or not able to) then the only way I know to figure something out about the (possible) RAM usage is to look under the preferences in the "Memory & Multiprocessor usage" (or something similar, I own the German version...).
2. Is there a way to display the number of the frame that is currently
being processed during the course of a RAM preview?
2. Maybe you could insert a timecode effect. Just make a new solid and choose the effect from Text/Timecode.
3. Is there a way to initiate a RAM preview in reverse beginning
from the current frame? Alternatively, is there a way to initiate
a "spacebar preview" in reverse beginning from the current frame?
3. I don't know any way to start a preview reversed, but you could set your work area to the area to want to preview (uncheck "From current time" option! That's what I didn't know How to limit RAM preview to the work area?! ) and also check the "looping option" in the preview panel to "ping-pong" (I don't know if they're called so...).
4. Is there a way to retain the processed frames of a RAM preview
after making a timeline change that does not affect the already
processed frames?
4. After Effects actually does exactly that! But it doesn't seem to know, if the layer is above or beneath the already rendered ones. Also if you change a keyframe it will re-render everything up to the next keyframes. But apart from that it does keep the rendered keyframes without re-rendering really, really unnecessary parts.
I also just tried out extending the work are and it keeped the rendered frames. Maybe AE didn't had enough RAM to keep yours?

Only get 1 frame or green background in RAM-Preview AE CS5.5

Hi All,
I've been working with AE for a few years now, and nothing like this has ever happened to me before:
I have a batch of quicktime videos (.mov)(stats are 1080 @24p) that play just fine outside of AE or Premiere. But when I stick them in and do a RAM-Preview, I get only the audio and 1 frame. If I scroll through the video I may get another frame or 2 if i'm lucky, or a dark green background. I have no idea what could possibly be doing this. And it happens in Premeire Pro CS 5.5 as well.
Stats for my mac are 4 gb of RAM and running OSX Mavricks

Codec is AAC, H.264, 2 Channel Audio, etc.
Opening up a file with VLC gives me 516 streams ( ! ) with
Stream 0 having Audio | MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) | Stereo | 48000 Hz
Stream(s) 1 - 516 having Video | H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1) | 1920x1080 | Frame rate of 23.9744...
Some, however, have the (correct) decoding of Planer 4:2:0 YUV, as of which I believe this causes the Purp/Green colors & sometimes dropped frame.
Edit: (More Info)
Due note that the movies where recorded as AVCHD, then opened into Quicktime and then saved as a .MOV for greater flexibility with different programs.
Would it be worth it to try and find the .MTS files again, and use those?
Or, if they have gone missing, what would I do anyways?
Thanks.

AE CS5 (10.0.1.19) Ram Preview - Audio stops and continue playing randomly

I already reported this issue to Adobe as a BUG but I want to ask here if somebody else have this problem or can confirm it.
Audio breaks/stops and continue playing randomly when 'Ram Previewing'
It happens mostly when the RAM is fully filled up with image cache files! When the Ram is not filled up totally with image cache files it happens rarely!
Steps to reproduce BUG / issue:
1. create a new composition with a length of for example 5 minutes.
2. create a new solid with size of 50x50 pixel and animate the position of the solid for a very long time so when ram previewing the whole ram/memory gets filled up with different image cache data (this is very important!). Alternatively you could use a long video file to fill up the RAM completely.
3. import a wave file .wav 16bit 48khz uncompressed which is very long for example 5 minutes.
4. insert the wave file in the earlier created composition which contain the animated solid or video file.
5. Set the work area bar (preview range) for the whole composition.
'Ram Preview' the composition until the whole RAM/memory is filled up with image data.
AE has to stop rendering because there is no more space available in RAM.
make sure 'from current time' checkbox is off.
6. listen to the audio which stops playing randomly for about 1-2 seconds and comes back and continues playing (***BUG***)
7. Now set the right handle of the composition work area bar (preview range) to less then the maximum RAM size
(less then the green cache indicator on the right side)
8. "Purge image caches" or "Purge All"
9. Ram preview the now smaller work area
10. listen to the audio. The audio breaks are gone! (***Workaround***)
Additional information:
I have the latest After Effects CS5 update installed (10.0.1.19)
This behavior is tested with different audio drivers inside After Effects CS5 (After Effects WDM Sound, Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver, ASIO DirectX Full Duplex Driver)
I also tried different Sample Sizes Buffers (alternatively to the default 2048 samples) but without success.
Reducing the amount of RAM which After Effects can access didn't solve the problem!
System:
Win7 64bit all latest Updates, 8GB RAM, CPU: intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, nVidia Quadro FX 2700M, IDT High Definition Audio Driver v6.10.0.6227
There is no driver problem on my system because After Effects CS3 & CS4, Premiere & Soundbooth CS3 CS4 CS5 have no audio problems!
I have lots of other professional audio software like Steinberg Cubase 5.... on the same system and they all work fine.
I also turned off AVG Anitivirus and Windows firewall for testing without success.
AdobeQT32Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, PProHeadless.exe, afterfx.exe do not get blocked by firewall they have full permission.
The CS5 Production Premium installation went fine and without errors and antivirus protection was turned off for the installation.
Any help would be nice!
Felix

Yep, I agree with craulmedia....
It's 1 month ago after my initial post and no valuable feedback from Adobe although I filled out the bug report in addition to this post and provide my email for further information.
The only reason for upgrading from CS4 -> CS5 production suite was the use of all my 8GB RAM in AE and now AE can use it but when it's using it the audio have issues.
CS5 is on the market for nearly a year and still have such essential issues... And my fear rises there will be no valuable update fixing these issues but instead Adobe forces me to upgrade later this year to CS6 in hope something change...
I have had support request for different Adobe products in the past including telephone support, web support via Adobe ID... none with success the web support answered my request 3 weeks later with the message they will look into it... time went by and in the end the result was "Yes we know it's a known bug" the bug did not get fixed for that CS version. it even exists in the next major CS release! (talking about EncoreDVD here). Once the web support answered weeks later when I was in holidays and after some days I was not able to respond they closed my case. I reopened the case but never got an answer! Telephone support is nearly waste of time because in 95% of all cases it does not help to reinstall the whole operating system and talking to people who know less about computers in general or Adobe products then my mom - it's a waste of time.
I don't want to blame here anybody for things happend in the past I just want to point out that this time I choose an other support channel (bug report and forum post) but it seems that this support channel is also a waste of time after 1 month with no valueable feedback!
I bumped up this post 2 times and thanks to craulmedia for the third time.
And now here is my fourth time *BUMP*
All I got so far is: "I saw your bug report it's in the queue"
Is it still in the queue? which queue nr. does it have? how long will it take to get any answer? is it reproducible? Is it confirmed as a known bug by Adobe? Is Adobe working on a fix? When will this fix be available? Is the fix provided in form of an update or in the next major release?
OK, I know this is a user to user forum and Adobe people only stop by in their free time and there is no guarantee for any real support.
But it started out so good in the first time...
Last 2 things I want to add here:
1. Why should I provide my email in the bug report? Sure so Adobe can get back to me for further information... but wouldn't it be nice if Adobe would be so kind to give some status report to that given email as a small present for the enthusiastic beta testers ?
2. please Adobe take a look at www.uservoice.com already Autodesk started to move there with 3ds Max.

2-second RAM previews in CS5 64

I've got a pretty basic 1280x720 60fps comp with no real "footage", just motion graphics and a AI file but can only render 2 seconds of RAM preview.
I haven't got an amazing PC but I'm running Windows 7 64bit on 4GB RAM with a Core 2 Quad 2.40GHz processor so I would expect to be able to get more than 2 seconds. I get a lot more than that in CS4.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks

"I meant editing the text preferences file (which is something that power users can do" - I have no idea how to do this. Like I said, it's a fresh installation.
There must be something seriously wrong with my installation. I changed the settings as you suggested and it didn't make any difference to the RAM preview straight away, so I quit and restarted a AE and the setting had changed back to 0. I'm going to try reinstalling and see if that fixes it.
I have a PS CS5 and a couple of trials installed also - are any of the relevant configuation files shared between the software? IE. Will I need to reinstall more than just AE?
