PC freeze while running RAM preview (After Effects CS6)

Hi everyone!
Recently my PC froze while doing RAM preview of full-hd 30 fps timelapse (photos in RAW), which was about 25 seconds long. I haven't had any issues to date and i find it somewhat strange since i haven't been messing with settings lately.
It has frozen like twice in an hour of work, so i'm getting a little bit frustrated :/
System Specs:
CPU: i5-4670k @4.4 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB 1600 Mhz (Kingson HyperX Genesis)
Mobo: Gigabyte Sniper G1.Sniper B5
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 770 4gb (running at stock speed)
Main drive: OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 128 GB (i have all my adobe programs installed here)
Storage Drive: WD Black 1TB
Power supply: OCZ 750 W
AE version is 11.0.4.2
The problem occurs typicaly when the RAM is at +90% and cpu is running at 80-100%.
I've tried turning 'Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" on and off, but it didnt do nothing.

CPU on full load is under 75 degrees, so it is not the cooling issue. I've had some BSODs while building this system regarding RAM, but when i was testing the sticks and switching them on mobo, everything was working fine since then, so i doubt it. The system does not freeze in any other program that is CPU-intensive (tortured it for like 2 hours using y-cruncher, so i think it is a stable OC) nor GPU-intensive.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • Cannot prevent ExtendScript debugging while running scripts from After Effects

    Hi,
    I am facing this issue while running scripts from within After Effects. Whenever I am trying to run a script in After Effects, the script opens up in ESTK in the debug mode. The execution waits at the starting point of the script as if there is breakpoint even though there is none. I am not sure whether what I am missing, whether some debug flag needs to be reset etc. I am using After Effects CC on Windows 7 OS. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I tried running the script after removing all $.writeln() statements, but unfortunately that does not resolve the problem. For testing the issue, I am trying with the simple script given below :
    var window = new Window ("palette", "My Window", undefined);
    var panel = window.add("panel", undefined, "Panel");
    var text = panel.add("statictext", undefined, "Testing AE");
    window.show();
    But executing even this one from AE opens up ESTK. I am absolutely stuck with this odd behaviour .

  • No audio on RAM preview - After Effects CS3

    I can't seem to get AUDIO in RAM previews with my current project.
    Scrubbing audio in the timeline works fine. But I hear no audio with RAM preview  (from menu, from control panel OR hitting '0' on the ext. keyboard), and no playthrough audio preview ('.' on the ext keyboard). I can see the color bars moving in the audio window during these previews, but hear no sound. I've tried .aiff, .wav and .mov files - all of which work fine in other projects.
    Here's the odd thing - if I open a previous project, audio preview works just fine in RAM and playthrough. I can preview my new audio files in the previous project, but not in a new project.
    Haven't upgraded, or changed any settings or defaults since the last project a month ago. Audio buttons are ON in preview menus and panels.
    Does anyone have an idea on what quirks or settings might be causing this?

    Update - I have not solved the mystery: Audio files will preview in one project, but not in another. Project and composition settings appear to be identical. Audio is turned on in preview panel in both projects.
    I have worked around it by importing the problem project into a separate project where audio preview is working as expected. NOW I can preview audio in the problem compositions....
    But I'd still like to figure out the root cause of the problem. Your ideas would be much appreciated!

  • 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.

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

  • After Effects unrender RAM preview after stop playing it.

    Hi! We have 5 workstations running After Effects CS6 on different computers, from HP z820, HP z800, and also on OSX Mac Pro, all of them with or AJA cards or BlackMagic Studio cards. On all of these stations, which they have no less than 24 GB or RAM, and working with 30 Seconds ads, so we have more than enough RAM to keep previews on RAM, they play fine once rendered to RAM, but we observe that most of the times, after hitting stop, and even without doing anything else, the green line is gone in a heartbeat, in some areas of the spot, this gets even worse if we use multiprocessing rendering, in which case, it always vanishes after playing and hitting stop. Without using the multiprocessing, it happens less often, and if we turn off the video monitoring with the AJA or Decklink cards, it happens even less often....  this is happening in several computers we use, and I find hard to believe that we are the only people with this problem? since I have not seen any other reports of this...  anyone?
    Thanks

    Other than the AJA and Blackmagic cards, have you added anything to the systems' hardware?
    No, but not sure if the video card...  I can, like I said before, load to RAM and play fine source footage, it never loses the green line...
    What plugins have you added?
    Many, but it happens right now on what I'm working on, and I have no plugins in use, only 4 layers with alpha coming from MAX which I'm comping together.
    What codec packs have you added?
    How can this be relevant? It happens with any format, on once rendesred to RAM, it has no codec, its the internal AE format. It happens with any kind of source.
    At what point in the complexity of the comps does this start happening? Is it number of layers or number of precomps in use?
    Well, right now is happening with something extremelly simple, just 4 layers from a 3D render and nothing on it.... I render to ram, it plays, I stop... green line vanishes....
    Have you seen this happen before or just in this version of AE?
    I have seen this for years... just never really paid much attention to it becuase never considered AE very good at it, but CS6 on of the sales points is how much better caching is... and its not in our case..
    As a side note: this is a user-to-user forum. Granted, we are often blessed by the presence of Adobe employees, but it's not guaranteed. There are official tech support channels and an official bug report page that you can use to make sure this is seen by an actual Adobe person.
    Thanks! I will report on the official channel once I have something I can reproduce on demand on how to make the program to fail.

  • After Effects CS6 freezing when I import

    Hey.
    I have a problem with my After Effects. Everytime I import something, a few seconds after my mouse turns into "the spinning ball of death", and I can't do anything but forcequit out of After Effects. Then the next time I open AE, I hang on "Initializing Mediacore", but I know how to fix that. I have 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, and my Application Manager says that all of my Adobe programs are up to date (I'm running CS6). I run the trial version, and I'm thinking of buying it in a couple of days, just so you know I have the trial.
    I am open to any kind of help, I have not uninstalled/reinstalled, and I have not tested with other footage than from my SONY HD Camera, and I've also tried with a Premiere Pro Sequence.
    Thanks.

    I found the problem. For some reason my camera records in 24.5 fps (very weird?), so after I changed that it worked. Except one thing, .mov files doesn't work. And let me answer those questions for you:
    I use After Effects CS6 11.0.2.11, I'm using Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I'm trying to import .mov files, but it wouldn't work (that's my problem), so I changed to .mp4, but I would rather use .mov. Whenever I play the footage, whenever it shows up on the preview screen, my AE freezes. I do not use any thirdparty effects or codecs. My Mac-specs are:
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB memory and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB Graphicscard.
    Rest is just no, except the last one. I make a new comp and import files. Now, if I preview the imported file, my AE freezes, but only if it's a .mov file. And if I drag it into my timeline, it can stay there, but when I try to RAM preview or play it, it freezes.
    Hope this can help you find a solution.

    The composition I'm working with does have 1 camera, and about 45 small 3D comps built into it. No lights. And all of the footage and data is on the Mac OSX hard drive. Which has tons of space available as you can see. I've played around with the settings in After Effects. But nothing seems to significantly speed things up. Any ideas??

    Hey PJ,
    I've been using CS6 since it was released, and while it's got a bunch of great new features, it's basically made Multi Processing unusable unless we're talking about the simplest of comps.   I'm working on my second short using AE as the total animation package, and render times for complicated 3D comps (NOT using ray tracing) have tripled.   MP used to take forever to spool up, but was fast once it got rolling.  Now, disabling MP gives me 3 or 4 times faster rendering, which is still MUCH slower than MP is CS5.5.  SOmething has deflineitly changed for the worse, as i'm using the same machine with the same settings and virtually the same comps.
    I acutally just yesterday had two animators quit on my because they couldn't meet their deadlines.
    I think After Effects is the hydra of programs.  They kill one feature and two more fill its place.  Unfortuanly we traded functional Multi-processing for falloff lighting and etc...  The puppet tool was it 3 version of after effects before it was stable.  I'm hoping we don't have to wait til CS7 for MP to sort itself out.
    I really don't understand the "deal with it" aspect of the posters here.  Surely a functional program that delivers on it's promises is the goal of this forum.  We're not asking it to make us a sandwich.

  • Problem to run free trial of After Effects CS6

    Hi, I would like to Download a free trial of After Effects CS6 but it wants me to install AdobeDownloadAssistant to do it. I installed it but it won't run because it says that it doesn't find Adobe Air when I do have it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both programs but I still have the problem! Can you please help me? Thanks

    And I was not following the "very important instructions" but now I did but I cannot go on the downlod link because it says:

    Thank you, Todd. I (and many others, I'm sure) are glad to see Adobe still supporting the older (purchased) software. Not a lot of companies do that sort of thing.
