Rendering twixtor in after effects

Hello, I am using the twixtor plugin in after effects. The RAM preview that displays is smooth, however, when I render the video, and i have tried several times with different settings, the playback is choppy. It appears that the media player cannot continuously play the video because the time cursor actually stops when the video does, causing the choppy playback. The video is about a minute long, but it rendered to be 10.2GB somehow. Is the large size the problem? Should I let After Effects guess how to interperate the footage? I have read on one somewhat related forum that it is a graphics card issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest you have a look at this.

Rendering issue in after effects in CS6 AE

I have got a file and it is from DSLR. I am done some animation on it in AE and want to render it. WHen i render it choosing "Lossless" . The output file is not smooth enough. When i play it. it start stop and start stop. WHen i choose a format option for Eg. PAL, NTSC or others. I get a error mSG at the bottomg screen. it says your final output size will be this x this. WHich is smaller than my original footage. WHat should i do to get my same size clip as origional 1920 x1080 with smoothness in the vedio when i play??
ANyone please advise. We don't need to anything like this in premier pro So why this is in AE.?
Could anyone please advise?
Thanks
Sushil

One of the first questions that might be useful to ask yourself is what kind of output do you actually need? Most people use the Aniamtion codec if they plan on moving in between different applications, re-rendering several times or doing heavy VFX work. Since the Animation codec is lossless it works to maintain the best possible quality even when it's re-compressed. However, there are many other lossless codecs such as Black Magic, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) / 4444, Uncompressed 10-bit, Uncompressed 8-bit and Quicktime PNG. Some have smaller file sizes, some might play back better in real time and some won't. Some production houses even export in high quality image sequences to maintain quality. That way if a render is interrupted you can simply pick up where you left off. Then when you're finally finished with your image sequence render you can render everything into a single movie file.
However, if all you want to do is preview your animation on the desktop or upload it to the web, then I would suggest exporting to a delivery codec like H.264. The quality is definitely lossy, but it's still quite good for final export and it should play fine off your desktop. However, Adobe doesn't recommend using After Effects for H.264 output, so your best bet for quality is to drag your After Effects composition into Adobe Media Encoder, choose one of the H.264 presets and render it from there.
Remember that Adobe Media Encoder isn't automatically set up to export your After Effects comp based on the work area you set up in After Effects, so after you select your preset, click it to make custom changes and make sure the Source Range is set to Work Area. Otherwise, you'll end up exporting a bunch of black frames if your work area doesn't exactly match the length of your comp. You could also do this prior to do dragging your comp over by right clicking your work area in After Effects and selecting Trim Comp to Work Area.
But, if you plan on working with your clip in other applications, for example moving in between Premiere Pro and After Effects, I would render it to a lossless production codec like Animation or one of the others I mentioned. Although Premiere Pro works natively with the H.264 footage aquired from most DSLR cameras, it's usually a good idea to transcode all that footage to a production codec when doing a lot of work in After Effects. This is especially true if you plan on doing any keying or compositing work.

Rendering issues in after effects cs5

Hi, I am currently using the trial version
of adobe production premium cs5
and I am having problems with the rendering. It works fine, but for some reason it keeps making these sort of huge files, like a 1min14 video gave me a 12 gb file! Then I decided to change the format from avi to quicktime, and from animation to photo jpeg. It did help alot, by reducing it to 2gb, but that still is a very big file! So basically I'm not sure what to do.
I need help please!
Thank you
ps: this is in after effects (just a heads up)

See this FAQ entry:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"

Using Twixtor in After Effects CS4

I am trying to use Twixtor in Adobe After Effects CS4 and all seems to be working well until I export the clip. It seems to take a 80MB clip and turn it into an 800MB clip. Is this normal? My computer lags when I play the 5sec clip because it is so large.
Please help.

Please repost in the After Effects forum.

How to speed-up the Ram Preview/Rendering using Adobe After Effects Cs 5.5?

Hi guys,
As the the title says, how can I increase the speed or make the ram preview render a lot faster or make the speed to the fullest?
I've done my researched already but I'm not sure if I did the right thing.
I will list down the things that I've done so far trying to make it faster.
1. Using the SECRET option (Pressing SHIFT) from the Preferences and ticked those two boxes - Disable layer Cache and Ignore sequence rendering errors.
2. Settings for the Memory and Multiprocessing. (Im not sure about this part, I mean I dont know if I did the right thing)
3. No other application's running
My Machine's specs are.
I'm using MSI GT70
-i7 CPU @ 2.30ghz
-16gb of RAM
-Nvidia GT675m
-64bit
I'd really appreaciated any help and a best settings for Mutltiprocessing.
Many thanks,

Most of the time I have MP turned off. Most of the plug-ins that I use are not MP aware and I seldom use AE's render Cue for rendering for delivery. I use AME and keep working on projects while I'm rendering.
Basic rules, at least 2GB per processor, at least 1 processor for other apps, Make sure the CPU's actually used matches the CPU's assigned, then test with your most common project. If you are doing something tha bogs down the system just turn it off.

Adobe Media Encoder renders in Lossless, such as After Effects?

Adobe Media Encoder renders Lossless like After Effects too?

There are multiple codecs that can losslessly encode video. One example is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime container. Another example (which matches the After Effects output module named Lossless) is the Animation video codec in a QuickTime container.

Stuttered footage after rendering in After Effects

Who can help me?
When I rendered footage in After effects (6.5) it's a little bit stuttering.
It looks like shooting on progressive scan. The settings are on upper field. It's 16:9 PAL and came out of media 100 editing system.
The only thing we did in AFX is color correction.
Does anyone know this problem?
greeting Jacco

Rendering from Premiere Pro Dynamic Link vs After Effects = fast vs slow?

So I'm doing graphics for a show using a fake 3D look in Adobe After Effects CC 2014.1. In segment 1 there are about 30 fonts that display for about 3-4 seconds each. Technically it's just a bunch of 2D layers of text, not a real tricky or intensive thing.
In my Premiere timeline, things render pretty quickly in the sequence. The show is composed of RED R3D 6K files, AJA KiPro quicktime files and some AVCHD stuff. Sequence timeline is 1080i29.97 for broadcast delivery. The sequence is rendering out to ProRes422 HQ. With no graphics, even the RED 6K files render out snappy. So I've brought these new graphics in as a Dynamic Link file. When I try to render out the graphics things get SUPER slow. Inordinately so. I don't get it. I thought the new "Render and Replace" would speed things up (great feature) however that seems to make things just as slow. So now I'm rendering out of After Effects the old fashioned way (each font is a 10 second file or so) with an alpha channel. I chose the 8-bit Cineform codec w/ alpha channel. Things rendered out, as expected, very quickly. A few minutes and all 42 fonts I built were done.
So what I don't get is why render and replace is so much slower than manually rendering straight out from After Effects CC 2014.1. Based on the time stamps from a "render and replace" process I did overnight - it took about 6 hours to render out a handful of graphics. I rendered out twice the amount straight from After Effects CC 2014.1 this morning in like 5-10 minutes. Isn't render & replace basically just rendering stuff out straight from After Effects (or AME) in the background and then just popping it in your timeline? If that's what is supposed to be happening, I don't understand the discrepancy in time. I'll bring the rendered out files into Premiere and see how quickly that video renders over the original video.
I just wanted to throw this out there to see if I'm missing some obvious thing or if this is as expected behavior.

After effects rendering time is extremely slow

hi,
i am having trouble with rendering in my after effect cs6. i have 8gb ram size on my mac book pro, which is extremely small for effectively ruunign after effects. i was thinking of getting an external hard drive and run the after effects through that instead. What size of should i go for and how do you go about running after effects on an external drive? is there any other way to optimize the perfromance of after effects?

Des difficultés a faire fonctionner Twixtor[after effect]

Bonjour a tous,
J'adore faire du montage vidéo, j'ai donc décidé de m'acheter du matériel de qualité (ordi avec de bonne performances, gopro..).
J'ai donc commencer par effectuer des montages avec première pro (cs6), et aucun souci, les montages sont nickel, aucun défaut d'enregistrement (en tout cas rien de vraiment flagrant).
Je me suis aprofondi dans la chose j'ai donc découvert twixtor pour after effects, et en l'utilisant, le rendu est ultra buggé (video en 1080p 30ips), sauf dans les moments de ralenti.
J'ai tenté d'enregistrer la vidéo, et ça fait la même chose, la vidéo est buggée en 30ips mais en 3000ips la vidéo est d'assez bonne qualité (malgré le pixel devenu apparent).
La configuration de mon ordi :
-Proc i5 3550
-Gpu msi gtx 660 twin 2go
-2x 4go ddr3 1,6ghz
-CM asrock p75 pro 3
-HDD 1to 7200tr
-alim 620w antec neo 80+ bronze
J'ai pensé que c'était ma ram qui n'était pas suffisante, j'ai besoin de vos avis et conseils.
Merci

Bonjour, en effet, 8GO, c'est un peu peu pour de l'After Effects, en fonction de la vidéo.
Celles issues des gopro sont souvent fort lourdes... et avec un très court extrait?
Il me semble que twixtor est fait pour les ralentis, qu'essayes-tu de faire avec? Qu'entends-tu par Buggé? peux tu poster un exemple avec un lien ici?

Adobe After Effects on Mac renders too slow

In one of the mac pro machines with 24GB RAM, Adobe after effects utilizes only 6% RAM during renders. we changed its preference settings too but still same status. Could any body suggest how to increase RAM utilization in Adobe AE 10.0 renders on Mac.

After Effects builds a frame at a time with the elements that are in that frame. Particle generators take more memory, but an HD Video Frame is only so big. You can't force the app to use more memory than is required for the frame that is being processed. CPU usage is another thing to consider. The more number crunching there is to be done the more cpu power is required. Some rendering operations don't require a lot of CPU power so not much is used. Then there's multi-processing. Only a hand full of plug-ins from third party developers are MP aware so you don't get that much help there.
Here's another thing to consider. The ram usage reported by AE is only the ram that is being utilized to process that frame. If you use up 100% of the ram rendering what is going to be left to store frames for playback?
The key to faster renders is to maximimize the data path to write the data and to minimize the unused data caused by scaling huge assets down to fit into a video frame. Until the basic way a video frame is digested and processed in AE you are not going to see full usage of all of your machine assets while processing video.

Best Quality Export From Final Cut Pro Into After Effects?

So I converted all my footage into Apple Pro Res 422 (24 p, 1280 x 720) for use in FCP and want to export edited parts into After Effects. What is the best quality export to bring into After Effects and also export from After Effects back into FCP?

zikade wrote:
Depending on your storage and what you're up to with your footage I'd recommend uncompressed. Large files but you won't loose any quality. Animation is also lossless if you want to compress your footage. If your drives are not fast enough, go for ProRes HQ from FCP to AE, and Animation the way back...
Since you've converted to 422, stick with that. You cannot gain anything by exporting from FCP to a codec that has a higher bandwidth such as PRHQ or Animation. You just don't want to go down.
Rendering out of After Effects going back to FCP jsut use the same base codec. Again, you will gain nothing by using a higher quality codec. However, you may want to use PR4444 or even Animation if you must have an alpha channel. PR4444 uses trillions of colors and you will get an interesting warning when you try to render to it. You can dismiss the warning.
PR4444 has the distinct advantage of being realtime in FCP7 and X. Animation requires rendering back in teh FCP timeline.

Get twitter feeds directly in After Effects compositions with Google Sheets

Hey All,
I'm posting a follow up to a thread I started a while ago on this forum about seeking beta testers for a new plugin I started to develop, called Templater, for producing dynamic renders out of After Effects. I want to thank all the beta testers out there who helped this product get some real legs. We are very close to release and launch, and I am extremely grateful for all the AE users who have offered encouragement for the further development of this tool.
In light of that, I want to point the community to some screencasts I put together that demonstrates the real power of Templater: inserting third-party API data into Google Sheets documents and feeding that directly into your AE project compositions. For example, you can get Twitter data into the Google Sheet, then use that in your AE project. You can also use Google Sheets' translation feature to easily localize text appearing in your compositions--even if those comps make use of super-awesome plugins like Element3D.
I've embedded those two screencasts here, but you can checkout DataClay's YouTube channel to learn more.
Thanks for your time watching these!

After effects CS6 error file cannot be imported - this 'moov' file is damaged or unsupported

Hi there,
I'm working in After Effects CS6 (11.0.2.11)
I imported an AAF that was exported from Avid MC 6.5.2. I colour corrected and graded the sequence using colorista 2 and magic bullet looks and some other native AE FX.
Before exporting I decided to double check something to do with the audio. I imported the same AAF into FCP 7, took a quick look, but decided nothing needed to be done. I tabbed back to AE (which was left open), and upon returning, AE started giving me all these 'damaged or unsupported' errors.
Subsequently, AE will now not import any quicktime movies - even ones I rendered out of after effects earlier in the day (these quicktimes use ProRes422 codecs, animation codecs and other lossless codecs)
I've restarted, re-exported the AAF several times using diff settings, uninstalled perian... but to no success.
Anyone got any good ideas? I've had this happen before, where AE will import an AAF and it works first time no problem. Then something happens when I re-open the project and boom... 'moov' errors. It's really odd and very annoying - esp since it now won't import other normal quicktime movies too - with the animation codec. I have quicktime 7 pro installed and quicktime X on Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.3).

Editor,

System Details: MacPro (OS10.8.3) 2 x 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 24GB RAM, Radeon HD 5870 1GB

I have the exact same problem on a Mac with 10.8.3 and After Effects from the Adobe CS6 MasterCollection (AE 11.0.2.11 (german)): all of a sudden I cannot import any native QuickTime-Movies (ProRes, Animation) or even movies that use e.g. H264 in a QuickTime container. Even projects that worked 2 days ago that contain QuickTime-movies will not open anymore.
This happened 2 days ago without any action from me that I can think of that could have caused this. I did not install any new codecs or plugins, nor was there anything in the apple software update.
What I tried/checked so far (to no avail):
disks are OK,
file permissions are OK,
no Firewall is blocking anything,
deleted AE-prefs,
removed all 3rd-party plugins,
removed all 3rd-party codecs.
Edit: I did some further poking around, and it turns out that after deleting or resetting file permissions of the folder "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects" AE will briefly allow you to open an existing project that contains QT-movies. If you then try to import any QT-movie you get the error message -- and after that you cannot open the project again.
This is really bad -- AE is basically unusable right now.
P.S.: The (german) error-message is this: "After Effects Fehler: Die Datei "filname.mov" kann nicht importiert werden: Datei "MooV" ist entweder beschädigt oder wird nicht unterstützt."

After Effects Error 5070 :: 2 Please Help !

Hi,
My computer:
2011 iMac 27“, 3.4 Ghz, 32 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M + 2 x 24“ Cinema Displays
My problem:
1- In After Effects when I try to enable Ray-Traced 3D I get error 5070 :: 2 (see screenshot 1)
2- I updated the CUDA drivers to version 5.5.47 (see screenshot 2)
3- After Effects quits unexpectedly and I get an After Effects Alert (see screenshot 3)
Please help I can't open AE anymore!!!

Can someone please help me with this, I don't get why AfterEffects can't use my ATI GPU and asks me to install drivers that make it crash...
After Effects is not asking you to install a driver that makes it crash. It is telling you that you need a specific kind of card WITH a specific driver installed. You need both things. The message could have been worded better though.
CUDA is NVIDIA technology. After Effects uses NVIDIA's proprietary technology to speed up the ray-traced renderer. You can't use that technology without an NVIDIA card.
You have three choices.
Check the radio button so that you don't see that warning ever again and live with the slow rendering of the ray-traced renderer.
Install an NVIDIA card that fits the specs requried.
Don't use the ray-traced rendering at all. There are much better options. Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, and Zaxwerks 3d Invigorator are three very good choices for quick-rendering 3d in After Effects. Also, if you have After Effects CC, you can use Cinema 4d that comes with AE for all your 3d work.
I would suggest option 3. The ray-traced renderer, even when accelerated, is not a very good option for 3d in AE. That's why the AE team decided to integrate heavily with Cinema 4D in the latest version of After Effects.
