Is The GPU Working In After Effects?

Hello,
I use the MSI GTX Geforce 660TI Power Edition, Mercury Playback Engine enabled in Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6.
When I render in Premiere I notice the Geforce GPU is used quite often, but not at a constant rate. It alters from 0% to 20% to 50% to 0% quite rapidly but most of the time it remains somewhere between 0% and 10%. I don´t remember ever seeing it getting close to 100% (which by itself shouldn´t be an issue considering the rendering demand might not be high).
In After Effects renders, though, I barely see it working. It stays in 0% almost all the time with really rare 2% peaks, while the CPU´s 8 cores are maxed out (85% to 100% in all cores, simultaneously).
Does it seem right? Is there a way to know if the GPU is working properly?
I monitor the usage through the gadgets provided in Windows 7 Home Premium.
The rest of the system:
i7 3770K
ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe
GSkill DDR3 1600 - 8MB x 2
Thanks!

Myelnium is correct. See this for details of how the GPU us used in After Effects:

Best laptop for working with after effects

I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
Thanks.

4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.

Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?

That is normal behavior.
The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

You haven't given us much to go on here. What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try? Which specific version of each program are you using? (Go to Help>About...)
On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed. Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine. You don't need the full question there.

Working with after effects in photoshop?

I want to edit some contents of the after effects of videos like clearning up skin or removing objects in photoshop from after effects - how would this get done? both ar cs5 and both ar 64bit

If you want to work on the frames of a movie in Photoshop, you have a few options. One is to render and export a composition from After Effects as an image sequence, and work on the frames as individual images in Photoshop. Another approach is tor ender and export the composition as a QuickTime movie and then import tha into Photoshop; this requires Photoshop Extended.
These options are covered in a bit more detail in "Working with After Effects and Photoshop".

KeyED Up doesn`t work in After Effects CC

I`m using the english version of after effects with a german keyboard. I tried to change the keyboard settings with the script from KeyED Up. But when i`m starting the script i always get the message that there is no shortcuts.txt file in the Folder. Are there any other ways to change the settings?

Hi
you have to copy the file
"Adobe After Effects 12.0 Win en_US Shortcuts"
In your folder --- Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/AfterEffects/12.0
and delete the words "Win en_US".
So, the new file it´s called "Adobe After Effects 12.0 Shortcuts", be carefull and don´t put two spaces betweem the words "12.0" and "Shortcuts"
And then restart After Effects and load the plugin!
The folder before mentioned you can find it inside adobe after effects in Preferences/General in the bottom its a button called "Reveal Preferences in Explorer",
That button goes to the folder mentioned before.
This its a great Script!
My email is [email protected] if you have any doubts.
Here´s a snapshot of the, button of preferences & the plugin working in CC
Have fun!

Work with after effects, mac mini i5 or i7 ?

Hi! I'm working with after effects and Cinema 4D, mac mini i5 is better than i7? I don't know if the video card has influence (HD Graphics 3000 de Intel vs adeon HD 6750M de AMD con 512 MB), but the CPU maybe is more important.
Thanks!
rompelomo

As otehrs have said the i5 is probably all the speed you will need, but in the future the i7 may well deliver a bit if an edge. I see no reason not to go directly to 16GB, you could probably get by with 8GB but "get by" is the operative phrase. SSDs have been mentioned, but You should consider the 1.1TB Fusion drive. As a practical matter the overall performance will be VERY close to that of all SSD, but a lot more capacity at a much lower price than SSD.
Since you are a web developer, I will share my "site development" secret with you. I had a rather ancient Mac mini I was not using. It was old and slow, but could run Mavericks and Server. I have it setup in a closet, running headless (no monitor or keyboard) and controlled from my Mac mini workstation. It is a great place to test new sites without having to go live. I do occasionally catch a problem running on my remote site server that I missed testing on my development Mac mini. Since I already had the old Mac mini my total outlay for my test site turned out to be $30 for the Server app.
