Alright, I decided to go with an MSI GTX 980 Gaming w\ 4GB DDR5 for the video card since it has a good amount or VRAM, CUDA cores, and is ranked as one of the best graphics cards available right now. I'm sure by the time I can afford to build the rig they'll be even more reasonable. Right now they're actually under $700 which imho is pretty damn reasonable already for the performance.
You mentioned that HDD RAIDs need larger sets to see fast speeds. Should I use SSDs instead? To me it doesn't matter either way. I would rather pay the higher price for SSDs if I'm going to get a big performance bump. You also mention RAID 6. Would you recommend that over RAID 10? Like I mentioned in my original post, I am very new to using raid and want to use the best array for my needs. I am going to be working with pretty large video files, especially once I start editing 4K video, and did read that HDDs work better for some odd reason than SSDs with large (non-random?) reads (and possibly writes).
Hypothetically what do you think about this drive setup?
4 x Intel 730's using RAID 10 (internal hot swapable) for my OS/Apps which would give me a good performance bump from using a striped array but also the redundancy I need in case a drive fails.
2 x 4TB HDDs using RAID 0 to store completed projects. I'll also be backing up to an external drive, blu-rays, or a cloud server.
1 x 256GB SSD to use as a scratch disk for any apps that need it, primarily for Premiere & After Effects
Can you think of any reason to add another drive in there somewhere I'm not thinking of, or change that setup at all? Thanks for your input btw.

Shake, After Effects, Motion?

Is Shake equivalent to After Effects? Also, where does Motion fall into the scheme of things. Im trying to understand what the differences is between all 3 of these programs. I have no experience with any of them. Can someone explain and suggest what they think is the best program to learn?

Well,
There are many things that all 3 apps can do that are either equal or similar.
You can key, composite and generate, to a degree, in all. Each do things better than the others.
AE and Motion are layer based apps (like Photoshop).
Shake is node based.
AE and Motion do particles and text effects really well out of the box.
Over on mograph.net the same question was just asked. Below are some of the responses:
Shake is really great at:
Using one object to matte many things at once- no pre-composing, no unneccesary multiple matte layers.
Compositing files that contain z-depth information in z-space.
Complex keying and color correction.
Floating color calculations (for example, multiple instances of brightness contrast, hue saturation, curves, levels, and other color correcters are all calculated together as one operation, so the image doesn't get crunchy and lose it's integrity).
It has arguably the best written software manual EVER. Seriously.
It's really non-linear.
It's more suited towards compositing and finishing, and less towards graphics content creation. If you are switching from AE to Shake, download the AE plugins for shake from High End 2D.
And:
IMO shake is good at tuning fine color corrections, 3d composite, roto and tracking.
And:
Shake is good at setting up things at the core of what Compositing is all about. Concatenation and Piping nodes together. It seems to be more of a VFX kinda tool. I couldn't see design type or anything to mograph with it.
But it does do some cool things that in AE takes longer or can't do. Like being able to offset the tracker and the roto tool. You can link a tracker to a mask point.

Need help with after effects render engine setup

I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
Any help would be appreciated

Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

Need Help With After Effects. Please read.

Hey,
So I'm using after effects cs6. The problem I have with it is that the final video after exporting stucks in between and never runs smoothly. I exported my almost 7 minutes video as a quicktime file that is (.mov). SO whenever I play the video in quicktime or any other player, it stucks, sometimes i pause it but it pauses after 10 seconds i click the pause button. sometimes the voice is ahead of sound and vice-versa. It doesnt stuck at the same point everytime. I need my video to run smoothly. Can someone please help.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks

I need help launching after effects! PLEASE READ

Everytime i launch After effects it says this: The licensing library encountered an error; you may need to reinstall. and After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup! Someone any ideas? By the way I'm using a iMacBook pro

if that's the exact error message, you'll need to troubleshoot the install logs, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html

Photoshop/ Illustrator Knowledge needed to use After Effects?

Hi
I have Adobe CS5 Master Collection.
I have a strong interest in learning how to use After Effects and also at a later time Final Cut Pro/ Avid Media Composer and Maya.
I have a recently taken to working on my own independent films and would love to be able to reproduce the kind of effects you see in shows many of today’s scifi or fantasy TV shows.
I intend on going through the tutorials on lynda.com and video copilot (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/).
I would like to be able to reproduce most of the effects displayed in video copilots tutorials.
To do so though, will i need a good working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator?? I have a very very basic knowledge of both programs at the moment.
Thanks for your suggestions

Help need to understand After Effects Rendering

Hi There
I have just built my first editing pc.
I want to do Editing in Premiere and AE.
I understand it is best to share the load over 3 drives, and so i have
C: SSD - OS/programs
H: 1 TB HDD - media
F: 500GB EXternal Hard drive - renders
in premiere pro i have made it so i read of the media of H: and render to F:
BUT in after effects i am having trouble understand all this disk cache and confirmed media cache business.
I want to have my renders/previews go onto F: as i dont want my SSD to full up!
what i want to know is where do i allocate the disk cache, confirmed media cache, and the data base stuff.
or does after effects delete renders itsself afterwards.
if anyone could help or give me a simple answer as to what these disk cache and media cache things are in AE that would be amazing
Also when i hit space bar to play in AE it goes green for a few seconds then it leaves the bar behind blue!
dont understand
would appriciate any hep

Thank for for all your help.
So tell me if im now right.
When working in AE, I should:
1.Import media that is on its own drive (in this case H:)
2. Have my disk cache set on the SSD (C:) and maybe put it at a limit of 5-10 gb if I dont want it to take up much room.
3. Not worry about ram previews taking up space as they only occupy my 8gb of ram temporarily, whilst im working in AE.
4. Export/Render to My other drive (F:) when done.
Has my understanding improved?... or am I still being a wally.
Regards

Need help installing After Effects

I go to Download it from the 'My Orders' list and then try to download it through Adobe Cloud.
Once Adobe Cloud was installed, I tried to find After Effects in the Apps list but it's not there.
Do I have to install other apps in order to get it or did I miss a step?

The application doesn't appear if your computer doesn't meet the system requirements.

After Effects CS6 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 660M

When will After Effects CS6 work with Nvidia GTX 660M? Will ever work with Nvidia GT 630M? Thank you.

Nobody can tell, but you shouldn't keep your hopes up. These are trimmed down "mobile" cards/ chips and they may never support Raytrace 3D. for the rest refer to the system specs as stated on the product page. what's not listed there, is not supported.

Power Map has encountered an error and it needs to close, after changing the graphic settings

I've been using the updated Power Map tool successfully over the past few days.
Last night I was playing around with the graphics settings that can be found under the File Tab (I know that should teach me from playing around and following the user guide :-) ) and I changed the detail from Medium to High (I think) and now all that happens
when I click on create a new tour or select an existing tour is
"Power Map has encountered an error and it needs to close. Power Map can collection information about the error and create an e-mail which you will be able to send to Microsoft and help us fix the problem. Do you want to do this?"
The error that gets generated can be seen below.
Thank you for submitting this error information to Microsoft. We appreciate your help!

I've removed Power Map from the system, restarted, repaired Office, restarted and reinstalled Power Map but the problem remains. So i'm guessing that the setting I changed are stored in the Registry or File System somewhere.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I'm using CS4 ONLY because I have a 32 bit Windows 8.1 computer which has Nvidia GFX card and an i5 processor.
It has 4GB of RAM and that's all you need to know. Please help me guys. <3
Thnx,

What I meant was that it was running at all was a lucky happenstance.

No. There is no way they could do that. Especially not in CS4.
There are a lot of people in the same situation as you who pop on the forums with some frequency. Well, not usually trying to run such an old version - it's usually CS5 or CS5.5, but the issues are similar: odd error messages. Trying to run old versions of software on new, unsupported operating systems can be a fun exercise (like getting Linux installed on a potato). However, even if it does work for a while, the least little thing can cause it to foul up. Maybe Windows updated, maybe a background service that wasn't running before is running now, maybe something subtle changed in your registry or your display settings or any of a thousand different things. The bottom line is that something changed between when it was working and now.
The error message seems to indicate some sort of issue in your registry. That is a tricky area to mess around in. Have you installed ANYTHING on your computer between when it was working and now? Added any browser extensions? Installed any codec packs? Downloaded any apps? Updated any software?
By the way, it's not very expensive to bump up to a 64-bit version of your OS if you did want to use a modern version of After Effects. I mean, if you want to continue working with After Effects, it would be a lot easier to use an older OS or a newer AE than to keep trying to kludge it like we are.
