Specifying start/end of "Save RAM Preview"?

I save RAM previews to preview comps with real-time audio, since AE's RAM Preview lags on audio, preventing me from syncing video and audio. When I save the RAM preview, it starts slightly after where I have it set in AE and ends much earlier. How do I specify the RAM preview start/end parameters?

You can specify beginning and end of the duration to be previewed by setting a work area.
That doesn't necessarily seem relevant to your problem of lagging audio.
If audio and video are out of synch, then please file a bug with details about version numbers of software, kinds of footage, et cetera. You can send bug reports to aebugs <at> adobe <dot> com.

I'm going crazy... Save RAM Preview

in AE CS5 when i click and drag (changing an effect value on Effect Controls panel, draging timeline indicator or even moving a layer in Composition panel) Save RAM Preview appear. it means after i released the mouse button AE automatically starts to make a preview.
do you believe that?
i don't know what should i do!!!!
My System:
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q9300 2.50GHz
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
Graphic: Radeon X1900 512 MB
OS: Win7 64bit
also i have a Matrox RTX2 video card with updated driver.
i tried to solve this silly problem with uninstalling matrox and reinstalling after effects but the problem still there.

Got it!!!
THIS PROBLEM APPEAR BECAUSE OF "CAMTASIA STUDIO 6"
i uninstalled that and the problem gone

With mouse moving auto Save Ram preview

Please let me know about my this problem, when i start my After Effects CS4 and i open new compsition, and import some images so when i drag them to timeline and when i move my mouse on any track, frequently and automitaclly it opens the Save Ram Preview, every time with every mouse move so i don't know what to do with that i searched more in After Effects menuse to improve that but i couldn't.

Good Day Sir,
I have one wirless Laser Mouse and i don't have any other softwares for shortcuts.
Thank you a lot....

When i move time indicator at timeline, after effects try to save ram preview automatically.

When i move the time indicator at the timeline, after effects try to save my ram preview automatically. I couldn't fix this problem.

As Seb said, please be more specific, what exactly is happening. Also please give us some more info about your graphics card, the language version you are using and any peripherals you may be using. The issue you are seeing sounds like a misinterpretation of a menu command which could be caused by some custom function key kicking in or the system recording a mouse-click in na invisible region due to a miscommunication between the graphics driver and the mouse. Likewise, some foreign languages use keyboard mappings that may interfere with some of AE's commands. Something like that for sure....

Problem with save ram preview

Hi guys, thank you for coming
i haven't this problem but now i don't know about that!!! when i chang a value or handle the time line or set an effect and other things mabye, it go to take a preview of my project and at the end it want to save that, but this problem sometimes will be happen and sometimes won't happen. i thought that my keyboard keys are sticked and i changed my keyboard but the problem still was there. i go to my prefrences but didn't find illegal option. i somebody know about that tell me please!!!
thank you for reading

I am using 10.8.6
The current MacOS X releae is 10.8.4 - is that your version?
when I try to save .jpg files and others while using Preview no location choices are given. Also, if Move To, Rename, etc. are selcted nothing happens other than the File menu being seleced.
The "Save" menu entry will just write to the old location, so if you want to save to a different location and to change the format, use "Export". That will bring up the File choser dialog.
"Move to", "Renam"e will highlight the document name in the titlebar of the document. You are supposed to change the name there.
For example, after using the "Rename" command, type a new name right into the textfield in the title bar:
After changing the name of the document the next "save" will show a file choser dialog.

RAM Preview in Background w/ Windows Start Button?

on this one project while doing a RAM preview on 1080p comp with complex particle systems (it was reeeeeally slow on my computer), i noticed that the windows start menu button in the bottom left corner didnt disappear, so i clicked on it and the video continued rendering the RAM preview in the background while i was able to do anything on my computer that i could access from the start Windows start menu. i'm assuming this was a very convenient glitch? the button disappears on renders of less information processing so i'm assuming this wasnt supposed to happen.
has anyone else heard of this happening? if so, is there a way you know of intentionally making this option, to use the start button while rendering RAM preview, available every time?

i use other apps while after effects is open all the time, but i have never been able to use other apps while i have a RAM preview in progress, that is until i experienced this glitch thing. normally if it's doing a RAM preview, when i click on anything (or type on any key) it automatically stops the rendering and shows me the preview up to that point. is it normal to be able to use other applications while after effects is doing a RAM preview???

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

RAM : 32GB DDR4 Non ECC CL16 2400MHz Crucial Ballistix Sport

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.

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).

After effects slow ram preview hold for 4 seconds before starting

Hi I have upgraded from After effects CS5.5 to CC 2014 , and I notices that when I want to make Ram view by hitting 0 num pad key , it pauses for 3 or 4 seconds before it start caching , and it become really annoying if you want to ram preview every 1 min , I tried playing around with the Preferences /Memory/ Ram reserved for other apps , but no good .
That was not the case in CS 5.5 , is it was starting caching as soon as I hit the 0 key .
I am working on Mac pro workstation , quad core intel xieon 2x 3.2 Ghz Mac Os 10.7.5
Thanks

I am guessing that you have MP rendering turned on in the preferences. Please turn it off and test again.

PowerShell - Get-MessageTrackingReport how to specify start and end time of current process

could you please help me? I need to specify start and end time of current process with Get-MessageTrackingReport command. I know you
can do it with Get-MessageTrackingLog:
$start = (Get-Date).Addhours(-1)
$end = (Get-Date)
Get-MessageTrackingLog -EvenId Receive -Start $start -End $end
But for my purposes I really need to do it with Get-MessageTrackingReport command, so how can I do it?
Thanks in advance!

That's not the context you would use
Get-MessageTrackingReport in,
Get-MessageTrackingReport is used to get extra information on messages that you have found in the MessageTracking log using Search-MessageTrackingReport . That's why the most common example you see will look like
$Temp = Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "David Jones" -Recipients "[email protected]"
Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $Temp.MessageTrackingReportID -ReportTemplate Summary
The most important parameter for that cmdlet and the reason it won't work like your trying to use it is the
Identity ""The Identity parameter specifies the ID of the message tracking report ID to retrieve.You should run the Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet
to find the message tracking report ID for the specific message you're tracking, and then pass the value of the MessageTrackingReportID field
to this parameter." see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351082%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
It's more appropriate to use Get-MessageTrackingLog when you want to search the log based on time or use
Search-MessageTrackingReport and then limit the results this returns before you pass the MessageTrackingReportId to get-MessageTrackingReport
Cheers

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

I know how to link a button to a start slide, but how do I specify an end slide?

At work, they've asked me to create an ipad app in keynote that acts like a web page. I learned keynote today, and certainly not all of it. They want four separate click-through image galleries, with buttons represented by text, that link to four sets of slides. They are under the impression that grouping each set of slides and then linking each title to a specific start slide (the first in each respective group) will accomplish this, but it's not quite working. I need to know if there's a way to also specify an end slide for each button/gallery, because they're starting at the correct slide but then going all the way through to the end of the slides I've uploaded. Is this even possible?
Thank you,
Lais

If you specify that the presentation only uses hyperlinks (doable with either KN 5.3 or 6.2), you can add navigation arrows or other shapes to each slide that contain hyperkinks to the next slide you want the user to see. So the navigation shape on last slide in each group would link back to the first slide. If you don't want to use arrows or anything else that partially covers the image, you can use shapes without fills for the hyperlinks. That way, tapping anywhere on the slide will activate the link.

After Effects CS4 ram preview slow start-up (8 core)

Hi,
I have an Intel 8core PC and I'm working with After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista 64 bit.
When I press on ram preview the CPU usage has a slow startup till 100%.. Is this common or? Cause it takes a while till it really uses the CPU of 100%.. so it has a delay..
Thanks!

I have a similar system. 2 AMD Opeteron 2.3gb quad processors, 8 gb of RAM, Quadro FX5600 video card. I had called Adobe support about how slow my new system was compared to the old system that had a dual core Intel with CS3 and Win XP Pro. Here is the problem:
On the new 64 bit architecture, After Effects CS4 is still a 32 bit program but takes advantage of renders with the 64 bit OS by running After Effects on each core. If you only have 8gb of Ram with 8 cores( like I do), After Effects is loading on to each core. This leaves 1 GB per core to run the OS and After Effects. He told me what I need to do is (1) eliminate half the cores or (2) load the system up with 32 Gb of Ram. I'm currently order more Ram memory but have disabled all but 2 cores in msconfig advanced tab. It working much better at this point. Still slow but not dragging. I've order another 16 Gb of ram and will replace the other old 8 gb of ram with another 16gb at a later date.

Why do RAM previews get slower towards end of comp?

I was just wondering, why do RAM previews and even updates in the comp. monitor when playing with effects get slower as you get deeper into the comp.? When i first begin a comp everything is extremely fast but when 2 to 3 minutes of the comp is completed everything slows down and each frame takes like 4 or 5 seconds to load. Do you think it's a matter of RAM?

No. Whatever issues you have are specific to your setup like calculations on effects accumulating or multiplying. This can easily happen with particle effects or temporal effects like Timewarp - the later the time in the comp, the more particles or frames have to be processed. You have not provided any relevant info, anyway, so there is not much point to making generic claims based on such vague and incomplete info. We know nothing about your system or even what version of AE you use, so aprdon me, this is pointless.

There's got to be a better way to do this (RAM preview frustration)

I loaded a 1:20 second Full HD clip into after effects. I need to edit the video based on certain sounds in the video and see if I'm matching them up correctly by previewing it with sound.
The problem is i'm getting frustrated due to After effects not behaving like Premiere. First who thought it was a good idea not to incorporate sound into after effects? Second, I have an i7 sandy bridge processor, and 16 gbs of ram, yet it still takes time to render the ram preview (with no effects on it yet).
So ram preview is my only option for sound, but the problem is every time I hit ram preview it starts the video all the way from the beginning. This is frustrating as I want to start at a specific point. Imagine having a longer video where the editing needs to take place at the end.
There are people out there doing a lot more complicated professional projects, what do you guys do to get around this?
Why can't after effects do some basic things like premiere like render fast with sound? Is it due to Mercury engine and 64 bits?
This is one of the best products on the market, surely there is a better way to do this right?

but the problem is every time I hit ram preview it starts the video all the way from the beginning.
Window --> Preview, enable the "From current time" option
yet it still takes time to render the ram preview (with no effects on it yet).
There is no magic button. If it is compressed, naturally it needs to be decompressed and decoded first. This can consume resources even on fast machines. Furthermore, drive speed matters a lot in such cases. This might actualyl multiply, if you use multiprocessing, so for this kind of simple setup it's usually better to not use it. If your harddrives are fragmented or simply generally slow, frames cannot be loaded as fast and neither will AE be able to use the disk cache. Ergo, convert the footage and move it to the fastest drive in your system.
what do you guys do to get around this?
We preview at reduced compo resolution to extend RAM previews and place markers while the RAM preview plays using the * key on the numpad.
