Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards
Ramon

  • CC Smear issues with After Effects CC

    I have tried to use the CC Smear tool for a project. I have tried doing it on After effects CS5, CS6 and CC. Everytime I use the tool it causes tearing or distortion. I am assuming this is the bug that was suppose to be fixed with After Effects CC? I have downloaded the latest update for after effects CC but it still does it. I still have After Effects CS6 installed if that might be related to the issue? I have included a pic which shows on this frame the image has tried to regenerate and has added grey matter also.
    Any suggestions? Thank You

    I'm honestly not clear on what you are trying to say here. There is no bug, the tool works just fine. Deducting from your image I can only see that you are using a layer style and that may actualyl be the problem - they are applied after any effects and may look odd if the layer content produces semi-transparent areas. Well, whatever, the same old AE trope is true: In case of doubt, pre-compose.

  • Serious Issues with After Effects CS6 and CC

    Wife updated computer to Mavericks and now I can't open AE CS6 at all - I've downloaded all the updates, but am getting message: "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'Users/christophersprinkle/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.2678.1407352277696161.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
    There isn't even a file named as the above ... 
    That warning is followed by "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    When I try to open the project I'm working on with AE CC, it refuses to open it. 
    Please help.  Am seriously screwed.

  • CV Artsmart not working with After Effects CC 2014

    I'm trying to do a simple Path Spread animation with CV Artsmart (Cineversity plugin) but when I open the animation in After Effect CC with Cineware the animation does not display, it works perfectly in Cinema 4d r15 ...is this a bug or known issue, is there a work around?
    k.regards

    Not all plug-ins work with Cineware.
    Also, make sure that you are targeting your installed edition of Cinema 4D R15, rather than the bundled Cinema 4D Lite, as described here:

  • Having Issues with after effects, advice needed

      Hi I am having some unusual issues and a general question about after effects.The first question is how to remove all the thumb marks that i keep making ever time move the time line indicator down the time line, it auto creates thumb marks that I don't want.
    The second issue and this is a odd one is that i have two files 1) about 3 gb and 2) about 5 gb and the 5 gb I cut in half for the final rendering but i come out with a 168gb avi file???
    How did I use about 6gb of footage and render it out to 168gb I'm confused.
    I am using the general settings, I used avi because my trail version is not showing any other animation type like QuickTime movie (which is what I really would prefer) I don't understand where is all the extra data is coming from.
    This file is so big it pauses for a fraction of a second every 2 seconds of footage when played via a player like window media player.
    I would love any help.
    Thanks

    First, I very strongly recommend that you start at the beginning and take the time to work through these basic materials to learn After Effects:
    http://adobe.ly/bjBT3P
    Your questions show a lack of basic terminology, so it's going to be very hard for us to help you until you learn at least enough so that we're using the same language.
    Regarding QuickTime: You need to install QuickTime. You can get it from the Apple website.
    Regarding large output files, heed Rick's advice and use the FAQ list for this forum, specifically this item:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
    Finally, it sounds like you've turned on auto-keyframing. If so, turn it off.

  • Illustrator issues with After Effects CS5

    It seems i have discovered a bug with CS5 illsutrator files and CS5 After Effects. When importing illustrator files or layers into AE working on the project, saving, closing and then reopening the same project, the illustrator files apepar to be present in the project window but actually need to be reloaded in order for them to register properly and therefore be visible in the composition window.
    Subsequentally, when rendring these comps without "reloading" the illsutrator files the renders, as expected are missing the illustrator elements.
    This issue has been recently been acknowledged by Adobe and I am told is going to require an engineering fix. As of right now there has not been a projected date for the patch or update. As a work around in the meantime, Adobe recommends when working with Illustrator CS5 in comjunction with AE to save illustrator files as Illustrator CS4 files and then import for use in CS5 AE.

    Let us know whether that is working for you.
    Is this Windows-specific? I've never had this problem on my Macs. I'm on CS5, not 5.5.

  • Font Issue with After Effects CC

    I am running After Effects CC (on Mavericks).
    After creating an animation using fonts from Typekit, I now am having trouble where the fonts flicker back and forth between two different ones during the animation. At first, I thought I accidentally did something with animating it, but after deleting that type layer, creating a new layer, saving, exiting and returning, I now have the same issue.
    The last time after rendering a video, these error messages popped up:
    after effects problem invalid glyph ID (83::2)
    After Effects warning: Unknown Exception
    So I force quit the program. When restarting it, the error message below shows:
    These are the fonts that have trouble. It looks like it is flickering between ProximaNova bold and regular. What is causing this and how can I fix it?
    Lately I've had trouble syncing to the cloud.

    I first downloaded the fonts with typekit, then created the project in After Effects. I just tried to purge the Image Cache Memory but it made no difference. It's strange that in one text layer, I use two fonts, in two weights. Proxima Nova thin and Magneta bold. The issue is that one of the words in Magneta bold (but not all of them) will flicker between bold and regular. I paused it when it looks like the regular weight and it still says it is bold even though it isn't.
    I just selected it changed it to another weight and then to the one I wanted and now it looks fine. Any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? It's happened twice already.

  • Issue with After Effects dynamic link CC2014

    Hi guys,
    I'm french user and i got an issue using dynamic link between after Effects CC2014 and Première Pro CC2014.
    I´m importing via dynamic link my PP sequence in AE. Import is OK but i'm unable to put the sequence into a comp !
    If i´m using PP to send a sequence into a AE comp, AE breaks and displays " After Effects error : strange situation. "
    Anybody knows what happens ?
    Desinstall / reinstall but nothing changes.
    Please help me. Thank you guys !

    It would help us to know what kind of system you are using and what type of footage. PPro will work on some types of footage that AE has a problem with. Have you followed this exact workflow before? Did this workflow work in previous versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro?

  • Alpha channel video issue with After Effects

    For some reason, a perfect mask in After Effects produces a

    Has anyone had this problem? Tried everything.

    I think you want the after effects forum?

  • Issue with FortiClient 5.2.3 on Windows 8.1 Pro

    I am not able to connect remote server through VPN using FortiClient 5.2.3 on Windows 8.1 Pro Laptop using 3G Data Card. FortiClient is showing Bytes Received as zero. Bytes sent figure raises as soon as I make any request, but the bytes received remains
    zero all the time.
    I don't find any issue in data card as the usual download speed remains 2-5 mb/s and works fine on other applications and browsers.
    I must also say that the VPN connectivity worked fine using Broadband connection.
    What can be the issue, kindly help.

    Thanks Bruce. I guess I'm not alone in experiencing this issue.
    I tried reinstalling 11.2.2.3 again (second attempt), rebooted my computer and my iPhone 5 and was able to do
    2 successful syncs. Not sure what got fixed. Don't know if this will continue working or not.
    It would be nice to be able to downgrade to an older version of iTunes that's compatible with my
    existing library and is reliable but I don't see how to do that. I tried a 10.x version and it didn't like
    my library.
    I typical don't take any upgrades without a good reason but impulse got the best of me
    this morning. Lesson reinforced - IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ITUNES AND IPHONE 5 DON'T UPGRADE
    ITUNES! ESPECIALLY NOT TO 11.2.2.3!
    Hey Apple if you're listening, you have a large loyal customer base who love the iPhone and will always
    be on MIcrosoft Windows so if you want to maintain these loyal customers please start putting more effort
    into making sure the ecosystem known as iTunes+iPhone continues working. Without a working iTunes
    there are plenty of reasons to switch to Samsung/Android.

  • No Refreshed Interface Design in After Effects CC 2014

    Sort of an odd question, but how do you change the interface design in After Effects CC 2014 to be the new "Refreshed Interface Design"? Like with the blue text color, borders, and different look panels (as seen in the first image linked). I updated to Adobe After Effects CC 2014 yesterday, and for some reason, my interface design has not changed at all. Is there somewhere in preferences where I can change this? I would appreciate any help, thanks.

    Your second image shows After Effects CC 2014 (13.0). The new UI comes with After Effects CC 2014 (13.1).
    I'm curious about how, exactly, you installed the software, since you should have gotten After Effects CC 2014 (13.1.1) if you installed from the Creative Cloud service.

  • Slow rendering in After Effects CC 2014

    I'm using Adobe After Effects CC 2014.02 on a Macbook pro with 10.9.3 OSX installed.
    I need to render a composition that is 3 minutes long, without any special effects or video. It's just a 500 mb Photoshop file with some movements. This takes anywhere from 7 to 30 hours to render. I rendered a similar composition before and this only lasted 20 minutes. Rendering it at a third of the quality only takes a couple of minutes, so the 7 to 30 hours seem excessive.
    These are the memory settings:
    Installed RAM: 16,00 GB
    Current RAM Usage: 9,64 GB
    Allowed RAM Usage: 11,00 GB
    Process ID
    Application Name
    Min Needed Memory
    Max Usable Memory
    Max Allowed Memory
    Current Memory
    Current Priority

    After Effects
    0,40
    16,00
    11,00
    9,64
    1 - High
    Tried clearing disk and media cache, boosting RAM and installed CUDA, but nothing worked. What could be the problem?

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
    The time it takes to render is the same in CC. Flattening the file in Photoshop is not an option, since I need all the different layers.
    The strange thing is that the first video I made using After Effects rendered fine, while the second one (and the third I'm working on now) are not. So I would think my computer is capable of doing this and it has to be something to do with a setting somewhere. Also, I sent someone on a Windows computer the files and the composition rendered within 20 minutes.

  • PowerPC G5 crashing with After Effects CS3

    I have been having "catastrophic" crashes, that is a crash in Mac OSX where the screen goes dark and I have to hold the power key to reset the system when using After Effects CS3 on my PowerPC G5. Also if I am listening to music in iTunes it just goes into a looping drone, (not a nice sound I can tell you).
    I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. I have been simply editing text in an AE comp and bang the system hangs. This only seems to happen when I am using After Effects. I have Gridiron Nucleo installed but I don't have it switched on, since it hasn't been playing too well. I also have a Blackmagic card and an internal raid system.
    I am running the latest version of Tiger on the G5 and have all software up to date. I might have to upgrade to Leopard as I just don't trust it anymore. This has happened enough times for me to now be totally on edge when I am using the system with After Effects CS3. I have a Mac Pro and this just works beautifully when running AE CS3
    Any thoughts would be welcome
    all the best
    richard

    Actually it has happened before and I don't think I was editing text. So I am not entirely sure that was the culprit. Put it this way I can run Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, even After Effects 7 without these problems. However I have started to steer clear of the machine and use the Intel Mac solely as I don't really have time for crashes if you know what I mean. Also it is slow in comparison which isn't surprising but it really seems like treacle compared to the quad core mac.

  • Workaround for slow performance and poor resolution with RED R3D files in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/06/red-r3d-problems-after-effects-cc-2014-13-0.ht ml
    The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where RED (.R3D) files are very slow and the image resolution is poor, about 1/8 sampling.
    The following workaround has been reported to solve the problems in some cases:
    Save the project.
    Choose Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache.
    Please post in this thread about whether or not this workaround helped you.

    Intentionally cross-linking threads: this issue was first reported in this thread, which has an ongoing discussion:
    AE 2014CC RED R3D files support broken - footages looks bad, everything slow.
    The thread you are in now is the comment thread for the blog post. Please post in whichever thread makes more sense for you. I am monitoring both.

  • Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

    Hi all,
    I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
    Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
    I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
    I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
    Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
    This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
    I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
    I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
    Never had this problem in CS6.
    Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
    Here are my specs:
    I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
    Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
    Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
    Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
    16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
    Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
    In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

    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.
