RAM preview doesn't save when using multiprocessing

I'm running After Effects CC on a MacPro 2013. When I normally render a RAM preview, and I finish playing it, the green bar stays.
When I switch to the multiprocessing feature for RAM previews, after I finish playing it, the green bar disappears.
I have a large SSD global cache drive being used, so storage of the preview isn't the problem. There's plenty of RAM in the system (64GB). I've tried a number of different multiprocessing settings, and even if I only use 2 processors for RAM previews, they won't save after I play them.
Is this just the way RAM previews work with multiprocessing, or can I change some settings to fix it.
Thanks!

Here's a shot of my current settings. I tried a number of other settings, with different numbers of processors and allocated RAM. But every time I enable multiprocessors for RAM previews, I get the same result (the RAM preview works, until I stop playing it...then the rendered frames are deleted).

  • Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled

    Hello everyone,
    I have an issue with rendering AE CC , with my new PC computer in Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit
    As the title says , my issue is Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled. Actually it starts after 8 -30 seconds depending of project complexity and the rendering is slower and skipping frames !
    12 cores with 2 GB ram each.
    When I disable the option of multiple frames simultaneously render starts ok.
    but it's really very sad that I can't use this beast of CPU in full potential. its an new intel i7 5930K , 32 Ram DDR4 2.4 Ghz
    Any advice and options would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vonzar.
    Setup:
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    CPU : Intel Core i7 5930K 3.5 GHz Six Core Socket 2011-3 140W Box
    GPU : nVidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB DDR5 PCI-E
    RAM : 32GB DDR4 Non ECC CL16 2400MHz Crucial Ballistix Sport
    Mother board : Asrock x99 extreme 6

    If you have any render or preview problems just turn off MP because, first, it only works with certain specific effects and codecs, and 2, it causes more problems that it solves most of the time. I only turn on MP rendering when I know for sure that it will speed up my workflow.
    You should have a multiple of 4 GB assigned to AE and Other apps and an even number of cores. If you are using MP rendering make sure that the number of actual cores used makes sense and that there are an even number of cores assigned to other applications. Most important of all, don't spend hours trying to tweak MP rendering to save a few seconds in a render. Follow these general guidelines and then run a short test to see if it works. If you project involves any temporal effects at all turn it off.
    Here is an example of the MP settings for a 4 year old Mac Mini that actually work for some projects, but most of the time it is turned off.
    I should say that I can allocate 3 GB of ram per background CPU and still see 2 as the actual CPU's that will be used but this little Mac Mini works better with 2 selected. Setting the RAM allocation to 4 GB drops Actual CPU's to 0
    BTW, I use the mac mini to record most of my tutorials because I figure that if I do a tutorial that will run OK on a Mac Mini, then anyone with an adequate system should be able to follow along without any problems.

  • The preview option in FCK doesn't work when using trought an external app!

    Hello everyone!
    I have an issue with the FCK-editor when using in an external application.
    We are executing the “WCM_EDIT_DATA_FILE” service to launch the FCK contributor application in a portal (Webcenter) so we can edit datafiles. The preview option (preview butto) does not apply a region template and the content is shown in the same order as defined in the region definition. Viewing the same datafile trough Site Studio I can see that the preview option applies a region template.
    I've compared the links but I am not getting anywhere.....
    The links for the preview are:
    Via the portal:
    http://MyServer/vcc/idcplg?IdcService=SS_QD_GET_RENDITION&coreContentOnly=1&dDocName=DF_NEWS_BERLIN_8&dID=765&wcm.contributor.mode=false&IgnoreContributorOnly=true&previewId=1276003853183&WCMPopupId=POPUP09875462424653607178
    Via Site Studio:
    http://Myserver/VCCPOC/index.htm?wcm.contributor.mode=false&IgnoreContributorOnly=true&previewId=1275983448108&WCMPopupId=POPUP07808631203986127290
    I can see that the portal link has the same parameters as the Site Studio link and some more. I even tried adding a region template in the url by adding my template as a parameter like this "&templateDocName=RT_BOUND_DETAIL_VIEW" just to force it but without any luck. The same goes for the "view differences"-button in the FCK editor.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Stijn,
    Here is the link to the SS-services:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10615/c11_ss_services.htm#insertedID0
    And here is the link to the CS-services:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/services_reference_10gr3en.pdf
    The name of the service that creates new data file is CHECKIN_NEW_FORM.
    Saving the file from the FCKEditor makes the browser window "greyed out" so for the time being we are hitting the "go back"-button in the browser to return to the portal... as we open the editor in the same window as the portal. However, there must be another solution as this is fare away from user friendly!
    Let me try to answer some of your questions:
    - Are you also using the Site Studio publishing functionality (we will not)
    No, we are not either.
    - where will your site design be done (we'll try to do as much as we can in WebCenter to keep it all in one place; we might even just output XML with our templates from SS, and transform it in WebCenter using different "templates")
    We are also planning to have it all in WebCenter. We are using SS for creating region templates and subtempalates used in the portal (Webcenter/ADF) for showing the same data files in different ways. That means that we also have elements, region definitions, placeholders and so on in the SS.
    - what are you doing with inline images in the FCKEditor (we want contributors to be able to upload there images easily from the Editor, without the need to browse to UCM)
    Well, for the time being the contributor must browse the some images from the CS because the images must have a certain height and width... so that is our way of controlling that the user is choosing from the approved images. When it comes to images in the text the contributors can add as many images as they want that are not from the CS. They can just copy/paste them in the editor from whatever location they want.
    - is it correct that the metadata tab cannot be used in combination with profiles defined in UCM (see other thread WebCenter Content
    I've heard that before so my guess is that it's true. My question then is how do I do to hide the metadata tab if I do not use it?
    - will you be using the ctrl-shift-F5 functionality to edit content, or just create a link to the WCM_EDIT_... service in a popup window?
    We create a link to the WCM_EDIT_... service that opens in the same window as the portal.... but as I mentioned earlier that is not the most user friendly solution so we probably must change that....
    Now back to my problems:
    I know why the preview trough the portal and the site studio differs.
    The services that are used when previewing content trought the SS are:
    SS_SET_PREVIEW_ELEMENT_DATA
    SS_GET_PAGE
    LOAD_DOC_ENVIRONMENT
    The services that are used when previewing content trought the portal are:
    SS_SET_PREVIEW_ELEMENT_DATA
    SS_QD_GET_RENDITION
    LOAD_DOC_ENVIRONMENT
    The SS_GET_PAGE actually shows a page in SS and as soon as there is a region template attached to the page you are able to see the content the way you want. That is not the case then calling the SS_QD_GET_RENDITION service. So my question is if there is a workaround where I can force a region template to be used con conjunction with the SS_QD_GET_RENDITION service?
    Anyone? All ideas are really appreciated!

  • Preview Doesn't Save

    I work as a lab instructor and have been having my studets submit papers to me electronically.  I will grade them and make annotations so that they can see comments on their writing.  This will generally involve leaving a long 'Note' at the end of the paper.  from there I will save (I have tried using both Command-S and the mouse menu command), close the file and start working on the next file.  I have noticed that many times, preview doesn't actually save the new file.  I will open it back up and the file will contain some of the new annotations, but not all of them.  I am sure this has something to do with Apple's new "Versioning" and the move away from the "Save As" command (dumb idea), but I don't know how to stop it from happening.  I literally just tried saving a file 5 times before closing it, but when I opened it again, no luck.  Any thoughts would be welcome, but mainly I hav the dim hope that this complain will get to someone who can fix the bug.  Thanks.

    Here's a shot of my current settings. I tried a number of other settings, with different numbers of processors and allocated RAM. But every time I enable multiprocessors for RAM previews, I get the same result (the RAM preview works, until I stop playing it...then the rendered frames are deleted).

  • Siri doesn't understand when using headset

    My wife and I are both experiencing this problem with Siri on iPhone 5.  Siri doesn't understand us when using any external headphones.  She's experiencing this with a wireless Jawbone and I'm using a wired Sennheiser/Adidas.  If we turn Siri off, Voice Control works just fine on both devices, and Siri works fine if using the phone by itself, so it's obviously not some sort of accent/mumbling problem or fundamental headset issue.
    Asking Siri for playlist "Peak Mix" through the headphones gets me "You don't have a playlist:" "Keith Nix", "Peter Max", "Cake Mix", ...   Oddly, saying exactly this through the headphones to plain ol' Voice Control (Siri disabled) works JUST FINE.  Also, disconnecting the headphones and using Siri with the iPhone's mic also works JUST FINE
    This also appears to have changed recently, within the last month or so (May 2013).  I don't recall having these issues a few months ago.  6.1.4 issue?  I've tried the "usual" fixes, disable/re-enable Siri, restart the iPhone, etc.

    Siri doesn't understand 'home' if your address is not listed correctly in contacts. It can be the label for the address field is wrong or that your own address is not listed at all. Using iCloud's to store your Personal data instead of for example Google might also help. iCloud has special fields for storing information that Google using exchange sync does not provide, eg fields for storing your mothers and fathers name. Siri can learn a few things while speaking to it but it doesn't understand everything right off the bat. If you ask Siri 'call my girlfriend' but doesn't know it Siri might ask you who she is in your contact list. That doesn't work for everything though.

  • Render Error: Incompatible Artisan when using multiprocessing

    Hello!
    When I render out a scene with multiprocessing enabled I get an error on the status/info pallet saying 'Incompatible Artisan: Multiprocessing disabled.
    The render continues, but slower. I have this on both my PC (Q6600, 4GB, HD6850) and my Mac (Mac pro 2008).
    Is this normal or is something wrong? Mind you: I do not use any opscure plugins. This happens all the time when rendering using multiprocessing with even the simplest scenes. Both classic 3D and Raytrace 3D.

    Probably a little late to this topic, but it's worth pointing out that it looks like anything pre-composed should not be using the Ray-traced 3D renderer either. Even if there is nothing in the scene that uses those features, it will still deactivate multiprocessing. Make sure all your nested compositions use the Classic 3D renderer.
    A little frustrating, but maybe can be addressed in an update or future version (hello, CS6 subscription updates?).

  • No preview in FCP X when using custom icc profiles

    Hello,
    since I switched to Lion 10.7.4 from Snow Leopard I have no preview when I want to playback videos from the event browser. I calibrated my Eizo Display with the latest ColorNavigator6 software using a Spyder4 device. The generated Eizo icc profiles are version 2.2. My second display is calibrated with the Spyder Pro4 Software. This icc profile is v2.4.
    What I found out so far:
    - I open System Preferences > Displays > click on "Color" tab and check "Show profiles for this display only". When I change to a profile that is listed everything works fine. But my custom icc profiles both are not available now.
    - when I uncheck "Show profiles for this display only" my custom icc profiles get listed. When I select one of them Final Cut Pro X (10.0.5) doesn´t preview anything and hangs.
    - I compared my custom profiles with one that is listed "for this display only" using ColorSync. The only difference that I found were some missing and different tags in the custom profiles.
    Do I have to modify my profiles to work with calibrated Displays in FCP X? How / what do I modify?
    Regards, Thomas

    So how does color managment work in FCP X when I can´t calibrate my monitor or use icc profiles from a calibration software?

  • Flash button doesn't work when used with Dreamweaver CS4

    I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf  and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
    I have also posted this in the Dreamweaver forum. Please, does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks for the response! What bothers me is that I was able to use Dreamweaver > insert.... swf on a different file with actionscrip2 controls (thanks to help from Ross Ritchey) but this time the swf has actionscript3 code in it and I was wondering if that makes a difference. I don't get any errors, the button shows as clickable, just nothing happens. Thank you for the suggestion, however the flash html but it is so MASSIVE! It makes looking at the rest of the page difficult and I have several sound files I wanted to add to one webpage.

  • Premeire CS5 Freezes on save when using Elgato HD videos

    First off, I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on a 2009 21" iMac running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.5) with a 3.06 ghz core 2 duo and 12 gigs of ram.
    I keep having the program freeze whenever I save a video from my Elgato Game Capture HD. The save bar fills in, but it will sit and the program will not respond, doing the error sound when I click anything. I have to force quite each time, luckily it as far as every time I have done this, saved properly and nothing was lost, but this is seeming like a huge risk every time and not to mention even if it works, that its just aggravating having to force quite and start up every time I want to save.
    Originally it would not even import, but I have tried converting the video through an app called miro video converter and this new problem began. I also found I could convert video straight from the Elgato Program, with the same end result. I also did some tests to trouble shoot if its premiere just freaking out on me (trust me ghost problems are pretty common for me) I tested on an iShowU Recording as well as one from my SD Elgato video Capture (which should as I understand have the same H264 compression) and a video I pulled off YouTube just to see how well that works, and they all save just fine.
    Also another note, I tried deleting the video from the project and saving as one of the tests and the program still froze without the elgato video even being in the project any more. It seems like once I put an Elgato HD video in the program at all it wont save properly.
    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

    The elgato record at 59.97 (I think) I know its the one near 60 frames, and as far as I can tell their is no way to reduce that. In my test the iShowU video had an FPS of 12. I'm not sure if the way it handles lower to higher FPS would cause the problem, but I have had varied frame rates in the past, but the only one that I have that can go over 30 right now is the elgato HD

  • Internet Options, LAN Settings don't save when using Run As

    Hi,
    On Windows Server 2012 RTM with IE ESC off I can log on to the console of the server as UserA, I can open IE, open the Internet Options window, select the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, change a setting (eg specify a proxy server), click OK, and click
    LAN Settings again to confirm my changes were saved.
    However, if whilst logged on as UserA, I right-click the IE icon on the taskbar, select "Run as different user" and specify credentials for UserB instead, any changes I make in the LAN Settings window are forgotten the moment I click OK.
    But, if I log on to the console of the server as UserB and open IE, the LAN Settings window does remember the changes I make, so this is not a user permissions or Group Policy issue.
    Additionally, if I use Fiddler's "Tools, WinINET Options" menu to access the Internet Options window, I experience the same variations in behaviour I described above depending on whether Fiddler is run from the console user, or via "Run as different user".
    Lastly, using Sysinternals's ProcMon, when the LAN Settings are saved correctly, I can see it is done via DllHost.exe (WinInetBroker) calling GetUrlCacheEntryInfoEx which in turn writes the "Internet Settings\Connections\DefaultConnectionSettings" value
    to the registry. I can also see iexplore.exe writing the "Internet Settings\Connections\SavedLegacySettings" key. When attempting to change the LAN Settings when "Run as a different user", ProcMon still shows the successful write to the SavedLegacySettings
    key but the other key is never written to, there isn't even an Access Denied.
    A reference to "GetAppContainerRegistryLocation" in one of the ProcMon captured stack traces suggests this is behaviour new to Windows 8 as part of the "Metro"-style app isolation, however this is occuring in IE desktop mode and Fiddler (which is not a Metro
    app).
    I believe this is either a bug that needs to be fixed to allow changes to save correctly or return an error when attempting to save the changes if they will be ignored. At the very least, this behaviour needs to be documented.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    I have tested in my lab, and got same result with you. below is my test and results.
    1. log on with user1>> click "IE" and select "Run as different user">> type user2's credential >>change proxy, click "OK". open "internet option" again, the change was not saved.
    2. log on with user2, check proxy in IE, the change was not saved.
    Then I tested on "Home Page", zone settings, , I found the changes can be saved.
    I have done further test on other applications, such as notepad (enable/disable status base), calculator (View >> standard/scientific/programmer/statistics), the change can be save from "Run as different user".
    since this is a behavior of IE, I suggest you submit a post in IE forum and IE experts may give you explanation on that.
    Thanks.

  • ARD Client Doesn't Show When Using Scanner and Network Range

    All-
    When I use the Scanner in ARD3 to scan a remote Network Range over the internet, the ARD client that I KNOW EXISTS in that same IP range DOES NOT show up (other ARD clients that I'm not interested in do show up, but not the specific ARD client I need to observe/control).
    If I then call the user at the remote ARD client on the telephone, and have them give me their IP address (using www.whatismyip.com, for example), I can use the Scanner in ARD3 to "find" the ARD client and add it to my All Computers list. Process: change the popup box to read "Network Address" instead of "Network Range" and set the IP address field to the address provided by the user.
    Why doesn't the remote ARD client show up when I scan for it using a Network Range in ARD3? Obviously, I don't want to have to call up each user every time I need to perform maintenance/control a client to get their (dynamic) IP address.
    I could use dynamic DNS, but that's overkill. If I know (from experience) that my ARD clients are in IP ranges X, Y, and Z, then I SHOULD be able to simply scan for them (or so I thought).
    Any help appreceated.

    Updated to ARD3.1 (admin and clients), but that did not solve the issue.
    Let me try to restate the problem:
    The ARD client is out of state/across the country (i.e., different sub-net) using a dynamically assigned IP adddress. I can (for now) connect to that ARD client successfully, and perform all ARD functions (that I've tried so far) becasue I know (for now) that client's IP address (I called and spoke with the user who used www.whatismyip.com to give me their IP address). So what's the problem, you ask?
    Some time in the future, that same ARD client will have a new, dynamically assigned IP address. I'd like to be able to connect to that client without having to call on the telephone and ask the user what IP address they have been assigned now.
    My thinking was that I could make a pretty good guess at their IP address (based on their old IP address, and the way Cable and Telco ISPs allocate/lease IP addresses). For example, if their current dynamic IP address is 999.888.777.45, I could guess that a subsequent dynamically assigned IP address would be in the range 999.888.777.2 to 999.888.777.255. With ARD, I could simply scan that range of network addresses using the Scanner and quickly find the ARD client I want.
    I tried to do just that, and the ARD scanner did not find my client when I scanned the network range that the ARD client was actually in. It showed other ARD clients (that I do not administer, own, or want to hack into), but not the one I do want to observe/control/maintain (and have a legal right to). Somewhat paradoxically, when I used the Scanner to find the same ARD client by specific IP address, there was no problem.
    Why doesn't the ARD Scanner "see" the ARD client when scanning the network range?
