Using Maya, After Effect and Premier on intel mac

Hi, am planning into buying an intel iMac and I just wanted to know if anybody has attempted to use After effects and Premier and Maya on the intel mac.
I basically wanna know how the modeling, editing and rendering speeds would be using those 3 programs under Rosetta.
Any ideas? Benchmarks? Suggestions?
Thanx guys.

After Effects=terribly slow + problems
Maya=even more slow + terrible problems
Premiere= does not save on Tiger not even on a G5 (last working OS version for Premiere 6.5 is Panther (10.3.9), and that's without QuickTime 7. Does not work on MacIntel.

CS 5.5 After Effects and Premier Pro not listed in install

I recently purchased an overstock item of the CS 5.5 Master Collection student edition and attempted to install all of the applications. I successfully installed everything with the exception of After Effects and Premier Pro. AE and PPr are clearly part of the package, but are not included in the list of applications during the install (screen shot below).
I have a Mac Mini with 2GB RAM using system 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Is there something I'm missing?

Do you know which requirements I need to fulfill?
Below is what I could find and it seems that I have what is stated:
Minimum System Requirements: Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support, Mac OS X v10.5.7 or v10.6, 2GB of RAM, 4GB of available hard-disk space plus 2GB of space for optional content; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash-based storage devices), 1280×900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card, DVD-ROM drive, QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features, Broadband Internet connection required for online services

Rendered clips play in After Effects and Premier, but not in Speedgrade

Hi,
I am very new to the world of Speedgrade, and have started running some tests, but hit a brick wall right at the get go. I have an After Effects project, that has a few layers, some are filmed footage, some are photoshop images etc. there are also a few plugins used (Lens Flare, Particulare etc). I render this comp out to two outputs, 1 - Quicktime JPEG2000 Intermediate (Highest quality settings) and 2 - Quicktime DNxHD Proxy (Lowest quality settings). I can import and play bot these exports in After effects and Premier, but when I take them to Speedgrade, I dont get playback.
Here are screenshots:
After Effects footage settings:
Visual of the smoke in After Effects of the imported render:
The same file imported into sSpeedGrade:
Is this something that can easily be explained?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Pierre Devereux

Hi Joost,
Thjank you for your feedback. I have submitted a bug-report as you suggested. I will find another workaround for now, probably doing most needed colour work in After Effects directly for now.
Thank you

After Effects and Premier Pro cs4 installation

I have a computer that runs on a 32 bit system. As such, I cannot use the cs6 versions of After Effects and Premier Pro cc. I have succesfully downloaded the cs4 versions and have the files on my computer. I unzipped the files, and tried to run the application. I am asked to extract the files (again) in order to run them. I do so, but after extraction is completed, the diolouge box closes, and nothing happens.
I have tried this several times, I have completly shut down my computer, but this loop keeps occuring.

After the extraction is through, the setup may need to be initiated manually with the setup.exe/ installer files in the folder that was extracted....

No After Effects and Premier

Hi!
Already purchased Adobe Creative Cloud. I opened it on Adobe application manager, there were 14 Applications that were shown, none of them are for video. Adobe After Effects and Premier aren't there.Please Help
Thanks,
Adrian

Both Premiere Pro and After Effects require a 64 bit processor running a 64 bit operating system.

If you're running a 32 bit operating system such as Windows 7 32 bit, neither AE nor PP will appear for download since they won't run on your system.

Aobe After Effects and Premier Pro

Hi,
We currently have a suite of 23 iMacs running Mountain Lion and Adobe CS6 DS - we have now been asked if we can install Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro - I know we could probably buy a bundle that includes the two but we already have the CS6 DS suite so there is no point doing this, how do I go about getting a download of this that I can then lisence and distribute to the iMacs in the suite?
Thanks

After effects and Premier pro corrupted after dynamiclinkserver crash CS6

Hi guys,
The title says it all really.
I was trying to render an after effects file in CS6
I opened Premier Pro and created a dynamic link. this crashed after a while and both programs now fail to start up.
I have tried most of the suggested fixes to no avail.
For information: I also have CC installed and it runs fine. If i log in as another user with a clean profile then they run fine. So im guessing its a common user based issue.
premier pro just stops working on launch
After effects freezes on the mediacore loading. It then gives a message saying Quicktime is not installed on this computer (It is). If i click okay it then proceeds to crash with a dialogue box which refers to the dynamiclinkserve.exe
Becasue it seems to be profile based im thinking a reinstall wont make any difference here.
All help greatly appreciated
all the best
chris

FIXED!
if you have this issue the best way to see if the dynamiclink server is in a crash loop. It will intermittently freeze your machine. On the task manager you will see it starting and quitting.
see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3196845#3196845
post 15. Solved it for me (the prefs in dynamiclinkmanager)

Which kerning option do you use in After Effects, and which should be the default?

Which kerning option do you use, Metrics or Optical?
Which do you think should be the default?
How would you feel about us changing the default to Optical and creating a new preference where you can set the default?

OK. Here's where we've ended up for now:
One of our software engineers is working on fixing the bug that keeps the setting from being persistent. So, if you like Optical, you can set it that way once and it will be the default for new text layers created after that.
We're not going to change the default right now. Our thinking is that fixing the bug makes it so that the people who want Optical only need to change it once, and we should continue to match Photoshop and Illustrator with their default. Also, Angie makes a good case that even if Optical is the right solution much of the time, having the default be Optical will cause people to miss out when a type designer has done the right thing and done the pairs correctly for the Metrics case.
We'll revisit this decision if it turns out that our incremental step of just fixing the bug isn't enough to satisfy everyone.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

After effects and premier render farm

Hey
Im working on a Mac Pro mid2010 and Mac pro Late 2013.
I want to know if and how can I work on one of them but when I render or creating ram previews make them "work together" ?
like a render farm ...
Thanks

Yes let's say its a really small farm.!
There are no differences in the operating systems (10.9)
and im using cs6 in both of the machines (but I am planing to upgrade to cc).
so how can I create this "farm" thing ? And if I got you right, it will work only
when exporting a file. not in a ram previews. Right?
thanks

After Effects, Photoshop, Premier Pro CS6

I'm new to CS and have been learning quite a few different programs over the past few months regarding post-production. I've primarily been using Photoshop, After Effects, and Premier Pro. I have noticed there are tons of different ways to work within and across these programs through the CS package. Because there are so many ways to accomplish an end result, I was unsure what is the right way to edit or manipulate video footage. For instance, if I plan on using after effects to do color correction using color finesse, or matte painting and rotoscoping, what order should I open the files and change them? Should I start in premier and then use AE, or should I change in AE, export as a rendered file format, and then import into premiere? I noticed not all AE changes are accepted in Premiere, which would require me to render in AE first correct? Same question goes with any changes to footage in photoshop as well. Renders always downgrade the quality somewhat and by the time I'm done applying the effects and final edit, I don't want my project to be rendered two or three times before the final render. Any advice would be great or at least a direction to look to get resources to help with my workflow issue. Thank you

Let's define some terms first:
Shot: A continuous block of unedited footage from a single point of view. Also called a Take.
Sequence: Two or more shots that that have been trimmed or cut together to tell a story.
Scene: A continuous block of storytelling either set in a single location or following a particular character. The end of a scene is typically marked by a change in location, style, or time. A scene can be a single shot, a simple sequence, or a combination of many sequences.
Movie: A completed project that tells a story. A movie can be 10 seconds long, or 10 hours (re: Andy Warhol)
The best use of After Effects is to work on a Shot, Scene or sometimes a Sequence, to composite elements, add graphics, or adjust the look (color grading) of a Shot or a Sequence. After Effects is probably the most difficult tool you could ever choose to edit a long form movie. Dynamic link is very useful in the early stages of developing sequences. Once the sequences are approved, I will usually render the sequence to a production codec for use in the NLE. I'll talk more about codecs later.
The best use of Premiere Pro (or any NLE) is to organize shots into a sequence or scene, and then to organize the scenes into a movie. Most amateurs try and cut a long form (over 10 minutes) movie in a single timeline. Professional editors organize each sequence in their own timeline (notice that Premiere Pro calles timelines Sequence 01, Sequence 02 etc.) and then combine those sequences into Scenes or a movie by combining the sequences into the final movie in a single timeline. In the end, this is a more efficient way of working on any project involving more than just a few shots.
Photoshop may be used to work on shots, but it is entirely unsuited as an editing tool. Photoshop and Illustrator are primarilly used to create elements like graphics or backgrounds that are used in After Effects or Premiere as part of the story.
The best workflow is the one that carries you to project completion with the fewest number of steps in the least amount of time. In nearly every case this means that you trim your shots into sequences in your NLE. The next step is to modify shots or sequences in a compositing program like After Effects. If you are working on individual shots in After Effects, it is almost always a good idea to give them handles. I handle is a few extra frames at the beginning and end to allow for fine tuning the edit in your NLE. Good rule of thumb is to add 30 to 60 frames.
Let's talk now, just for a second, about rendering. You are a little misinformed about rendering.
There are two types of codecs used to in production. The first is a production codec. This would be something like ProRez, or Animation, or even JPEG 2000, at the highest quality settings. To be classified as a production codec the rendered files must be lossless, or nearly lossless. Production codecs take up a lot of DriveSpace. Some of them will not even play back in real-time on any system. Many production houses use image sequences as their standard production format. You can render, remember, and then render again from into production codecs with no loss in quality. All you need is enough storage space to hold the files. Every production codec that I use is at least 10 bit color depth.
The second type of codek is called a delivery codec. These are highly compressed, playback in real time on inexpensive systems, and should never, I repeat never be used in the production pipeline. Anything in the MPEG class of codecs is a delivery codec and should not be used in the production pipeline.
Come to think of it, there is a third type of video codec. These are acquisition codecs. They are the codecs used by the various camera manufactures to record video. AVCHD, is a very low data rate codec used by consumer cameras. Other cameras from the consumer level to the pro level may use various forms of MPEG encoding. These "acquisition codecs" are not suitable for use downstream in the production pipeline at all. What I mean by that is, you should never render some original footage back to the original acquisition codec. The only exception to this rule are professional cameras and recording systems that record in lossless or raw formats right from the start.
One last thing. Don't forget sound. Professional polished productions always use specific sound editing programs to complete the audio track. While you can do a fair job in most NLE's, you can do a much better job in something like Adobe Audition. Cutting, editing, or adjusting sound and AE should be limited to reference audio or scratch tracks only. After eEffects will do a good job of rendering a lossless audio track from a clean original, but it's one of the most cumbersome and ineffective audio editing tools ever designed. Oh wait, AE is not an audio editing tool, so it's okay with me.
I hope this helps you along your path.

Cs5.5 master collection wont install After Effects or Premier

Just upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5 and installation errors on After effects and Premier. I'm running windows 7 64 bit pro service pack 1,Duel x5650 xeons, 24 gigs of memory, 250 gb ssd. Before installing CS5 I uninstalled cs4. After the first installation error I unistalled cs5, ran the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, and removed all the adobe folders from my program files and program files(x86) folders. I've spent the last 4 hours searching for a solution, no luck yet though. I don't have any user account controls set. I think it's a font permision problem but don't know. I called adobe tech support, but no luck. Any help would be apprecieated. the following is the error code.

Thanks. I tried the all the steps in the link you provided. Plus a few others from adobe support, I spent about 4 ½ hours on the phone with them over the past 2 days. I reinstalled all the Microsoft payloads, updated my video drivers, admin privileges, closed all my services and startups, uninstalled adobe air, flash player, deleted a few fonts from my system, although that was a pain because I had to go into safe mode to delete them, and I lost track off the rest. I haven’t had any troubles installing any other software, including CS4.
Here is the new error when I try to install either after effects or Premier

Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro... Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
Thanks

You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE. Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier. Without Motion, you can't do custom templates. You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor. Why would you want to remove them from your system? Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them. But I'd learn Motion first. Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro

I am using CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro with footage from a Canon 5D Mark III. Shooting/editing 1080p 24 (or at least their version of it). What are the best render settings/codecs to use to export from AE for import into Premiere Pro other than the animation codec or Pro Res? I dont have Pro Res and the animation codec is great but the file size slows down the app. Thx in advance.
Or a few resources to explain the whole codec/export/bitrate/etc issue once and for all for different situations wether it be brodcast or internet or simply burning a dvd to play on a HD TV. It is almost like this is some kind of secret no one will tell...LOL...i cant find a difinitive answer anywhere.

As is stated above there are Production codecs which can be lossless, nearly lossless, and at higher bit depth. Production Codecs include Uncompressed (huge files but fast do decode and will not playback in real time) Editing Codecs like Black Magic, Avid, ProRez, and others that are smaller, can still be lossless, may support alpha channels and higher bit depths, and Archival Codecs like Microcosm, JPEG2000, PNG, which support alpha channels, are lossless, and on some systems, will playback in real time.
Editing codecs are specifically designed to be played back in a NLE. These are good choices for a Premiere Pro / AE workflow. So are Archival Codecs. If your project involves a lot of sharing of files between users and apps, then pick a format common to everyone that is at the highest bit depth your storage system can accommodate.
There are also image sequence formats. These include PSD sequences, TGA, TIFF, PNG and others. Some support higher bit depth (32bit Float). Image Sequences work great, have advantages when it comes to correcting just a few frames here and there, and are used to a great extent in professional production pipelines. They are much more flexible than video but they have a distinct disadvantage when it comes to keeping track of the files and keeping things organized.
Then there are delivery codecs. These are designed for playback. They are not suitable for production because delivery codecs use GOP compression, are limited to low bit depth, and are not lossless. IOW, if you render to a delivery codec, then you process and render again to the same codec the artifacts start to build up. H.264 for example, after just 2 or 3 passes, even at very high quality settings, falls completely apart.
Consumer and ProSumer cameras use delivery codecs for image capture. Your Cannon 5D does. This is OK, and it's the only option you've got with some cameras, but the best workflow for these types of capture systems is to transcode the footage to a production codec before you do anything. Production codecs will render faster because it takes less time to decode the footage for processing. You should never render AVCHD or MPEG footage back to the same codec. Always use a production codec until you're project is ready to archive and deliver.
One note on ProRez on Windows. This is not a good idea for production. You cannot maintain proRez native 10bit color space. You should not render to ProRez using 3rd party workarounds because you're just building a proRez container for a windows compressed video. Sure, it will playback on a Mac, but the actual image will have lost important detail and color depth.
Let me give my humble opinion on Dynamic Link. This works great for a shot or two in a Premiere Sequence. This works great for working with Audio in Premiere and Audition. This works great for rendering for delivery or even production using the Adobe Media Encoder. Did you note my second sentence? Dynamic link between AE and Premiere Pro for a few shots in a sequence is a good idea and a time saver, but if you're cutting a film that's over a few minutes, each scene should be it's own sequence. If the scene has more than just a few shots that need to be processed in After Effects then using Dynamic Link can easily become a monster you don't want to deal with. The key to efficient post production of an effects laden production is planning. You've got to cut for story first, then produce your effects shots with sufficient handles (extra frames) to allow some fine tuning, then recut the final. Any other workflow on a long project is just wasting time.

What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
Here's my system:
SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement as CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!
