Photoshop and After Effect CC Performance Problems

The same files work smoothly in CS5, but not in CC

Not in the general case. Photoshop CC is actually faster in most ways. I've measured it personally.
For YOU maybe it's not working as well, but that probably means there's something about your system that's getting in the way of you getting good performance.
It might be helpful if you would go into Photoshop CC's Help - System Info menu item, copy the results, and paste the data in a post here. There are many experts here who might be able to suggest things you can do - quite possibly without spending any money - that will bring your performance up.
Good luck.

Photoshop and After Effects is not installing with the new updates, any suggestions?

Each time the update says that the "update failed". I have tried the update several times, both on my laptop and my iMac. Photoshop finally installed on the iMac, but neither will update on the MacBook Pro.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but check to make sure that you have Rosetta installed in Mac OS and then try again to install After Effects. I know that Mac OS has a (mistaken) dependency on Rosetta for After Effects to run. It _may_ be that this dependency also causes a problem with installation.
Here's a document that lists some know issues with After Effects on Snow Leopard:

When you do get After Effects CS4 installed, be sure to immediately update to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2).

PAL Widescreen format between photoshop and After Effects

Hi, I wonder if someone else has bumped into the problem I have and has a solution. I am working with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro(all CS3 levels) to create a project using still and moving images. I am using PAL widescreen (16:9) format for the first time so have cropped my still images in Photoshop to 1024 x 576 pixels. Starting a new project in After Effects I chose PAL/Widescreen and set the resolution to 1024x576. When I bring in my images and drop them to the timeline they have the same height as the AE screen but are significantly shorter than the displayed 1024 pixel size. If I drop the images into Premiere they will size to 1024 x 576. Am I doing something drastically wrong here ?

Just to add to this, I am confused over exactly what is happening inside
After Effects with regard to interpreting PAL footage!
When you go to the Compositions Settings dialogue box there are two Presets
on the drop down list for non-square pixels; PAL D1/DV and PAL D1/DV
Widescreen.
Both comps are 720 x 576 pixels.
However when you go to the drop down list for Pixel Aspect Ratio the two
options there for non-square pixels are PAL D1/DV (1.09) and PAL D1/DV
Widescreen (1.46)
According to my calculations:
PAL 4:3 in square pixels = 768 x 576 (768 / 4 * 3 = 576)
Doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.07 not 1.09
768 / 720 = 1.06666666667
PAL 16:9 in square pixels = 1024 x 576 (1024 /16 * 9 = 576)
Again doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.42 not 1.46
1024 / 720 = 1.42222222222
If the Pixel Aspect Ratios given are correct then the Width of both
Compositions should be 704 not 720!
768 / 704 = 1.0909090909 which rounds up to 1.09
1024 / 704 = 1.454545454545 which rounds up to 1.46
Using the preset comp Width with the preset Pixel Aspect Ratios doesn't seem
to add up or am I missing something fundamental here?
Perhaps I should just import the footage using whatever Pixel Aspect Ratio
into a PAL comp with square pixels and then just use the fit to comp command
to make sure it really does fit!

Dynamic Link with Encore, Photoshop, and After Effects

Intention 1: Im using Photoshop CS5 (PS5) & After Effects CS5 (AE5) to create a DVD menu for Encore CS5 (EN5). I used the 'Film & Video' preset in PS5 to make a standard HD 1440 x 1080px image size; which looks the same in AE5. My problem is in PS5 the 'Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction' size is the size i want the universal size to be. Its a more stretched version which looks better to me, but may not work well with HD monitors (as this DVD will be played on a 17" laptop).
Question 1: Is there any way to have AE5 recognize the 'pixel aspect ratio correction' from PS5 and make the composition settings that size in AE5?
```
Question 2: What are standard sizes for computer monitors that would work welll mostly with the Dynamic Link in AE5 and EN5 working with PS5?

Yes, it can be very confusing. With CS5, however, as long as you keep it all the same, it doesn't require setting. But you do need to understand it.
Just start with the help page:

Viable options for having just Photoshop and After Effects?

I have the single app plan for $20/mo, for After Effects. I've come to realize that I would like, as well as I kind of need, Photoshop. However, I don't wish to purchase the complete plan ($50/mo). I noticed there is a Photography plan for $10/mo, however since I already have a plan I'm unsure as to how I would go about getting two plans, or if there is a way to add on to my current plan. If I have the Photography and the Single App plan together it would be $30/mo, and I would have everything I need for $20 less than the complete.
Any viable options, advice, or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
- Infinity

You can of course get the photography plan, you just do not "add" it. It's simply a completely separate purchase.

Photoshop and After effects

Hi all,
I am using Photoshop to create some elements to use in an After Effects compostion. I save the file as a PSD and import it into After Effects as editable layers. Is there a way to allow the imported file to update if I make changes and save it again in Photoshop? I feel like I have been able to do that in the past with Photoshop to Premiere PSDs so I figured After Effects should have the same functionality. Anyone know? Thanks!
MODs please help me move this post if there is a better place, thanks!

You need to ask that in the After Effects forum.
Photoshop isn't involved in updating contents in After Effects.

Whenever I try to open the installed Photoshop and After Effects, It keeps giving me the terms and conditions, I click yes and it comes back, please help!

Somebody please help me I just fixed an issue and now I have another one!

In that case perform the same step once again.
1.Then Delete Adobe Application Manger and OOBE folders from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe.
You may need to Quit Creative Cloud desktop to Delete OOBE..
Then reinstall Adobe Application manager from below link
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
2.Also try to give full permission for SLCache folder.
Right click on SLCache and open properties. Then uncheck Read only and Click on Apply
Click on security tab and click on edit.
Then click on user and give full permssion.
Then launch the products and check.
If it is not working,
3.Press Windows + R keys. Then In the Run window type inetcpl.cpl. It will open Internet Options.
Click on Connections > LAN settings.
Make sure under proxy servers there are no boxes checked.
If it is checked uncheck it and check Automatically detected settings, Click on Ok.
Then try.

Final cut to photoshop to after effects back to final cut problem

Hello there,
I shall explain my problem.
I am working with three different programs. Finla cut 7, photoshop, and after effects.
I have taken a jpeg still from final cut to work in photoshop.
In phtoshop I have layered a project to work in after effects to make an animation.
The animation is then exported back from after effects into final cut.
When I do this I realise that the dimensions of the animation differs from the original sequence from where the still was taken.
I work with PAL.
The still from the sequence is 768 x 576. I create a still using 'export- Using quick time conversion'. I do not understand why the image obtained does not have the format 720x576 as it says the film sequences have in final cut pro settings.
When I edit it in photoshop, I create an image that has the 'film-video' setting but the image still does not match the frame. I have noticed there was the setting PAL1/DV square pixel but it still does not match the original format after editing in after effect.
Why is this?
Thank you

Hello mylenium,
Thank you very much for the link.
I now manage to have the same image size when working in final cut.
I hope you do not mind me asking another question. I seem to lose a little bit of resolution. Could this be because i transfer an image worked onto photoshop to after effect and then back to final cut?
I have changed the file dimension before importing it into after effect (from 768x576 to 720x576) and i export the after effect file using quick time in the setting, thus reimporting a .mov file into final cut.
Thx
Best

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,
Ruben Gimenez.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

Is there a difference in Premier and After Effects Performance in terms of intel or AMD?

Is there a difference in Premier and After Effects Performance in terms of intel or AMD? Forget the speed issue, assume that the processors are of comparable speed and also assume that the system is built beyond recommended requirements. When it comes to reliablility and performance of either processor working and managing data with CS5, is there a difference? I am looking to build a computer with multiple CPU's so i7 if out as well (unless you can convince me that have only one CPU is better than building with multiple) Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to any help you may give me! Bow.

See Harm, this is why I am a BIG fan of your post!!! Also thank you John for responding as well. I have been wrestling with purchasing a new computer for months now looking for a CS5 CPU, trying to find the most economical purchase. The last computer I had bought was specifically for CS2 and I spent over $8500 dollars for it in 2006. A dual XEON 2.80 with Hyperthreading. Back then I thought I had a great machine, but now looking at what I paid for, i feel much wiser.
I have seen the benchmark test and studied it closely, but until this post, I didn't know how the results translated into real world results. I figured out pretty quickly AMD is no where near to Intel currently.
I am looking to edit primarily with AVCHD and will be using After Effects extensively. So of course, I want processor speed and plenty of RAM. But it gets expensive. Sandy Bridge looks like an option but there is a RAM limitation and the recent problems with it. i7 processors look like a good option but they are also 24 gig limitation. Of course dual CPU Xeon gives me unlimited RAM practically, BUT i have a limited budget.
So in looking at the Benchmark Test, (which I love, but can't equate to real world applications - i.e. Time Savings between results - because i don't know what the length of the footage is) it has been hard to gauge a cost/gain benefit when choosing my next machine.
I noticed your results are 65.0 to ADK's 35.0 under the h.264 CPU performance. I guess I am asking what is that in a real world time crunch difference?
P.S. I do realize that the ADK results aren't average. If you wish, you may reference the #1 system with the top average of 45.0 under the h.264 CPU performance to give me an idea on comparision. Also, I noticed your machine is overclocked. Does overclocking make CS5 any less stable?
Thanks for all you do Harm, I appreciate your dedication to us Adobe followers. You to John!
(sorry it has taken some time to respond)
Also, I noticed you are using Areca ARC-1680iX-12. Nice!
