  • "Mocha for After Effects" included when you install Dreamweaver CS5

    During installation of Adobe Master Collection CS5, I deselected everything except for Dreamweaver. After finishing, I had shortcuts for the following:
    Adobe Device Central CS5
    Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
    Mocha for After Effects CS5
    Adobe Help
    (I believe Air is installed as well, but it appears to be required for Adobe Help?)
    How did Mocha for After Effects and Adobe Device Central get installed?

    Device Central and Mocha for After Effects are not main applications (those which are displayed on left side of Options dialog), rather they are termed as Shared Technologies which are used by multiple applications. Adobe Help is anyway installed even when a single application is installed, Device Central is installed as Dreamweaver has dependency on it. Mocha for After Effects should not be installed if Aftre Effects is deselcted, but it gets installed because of one deferred bug in CS5, you can see some unusable folders of Premiere Pro, Encore etc also even when they are not selected.

  • What does the upgrade process look like? Black screen after a few minutes o

    Hello,
    I just received a new Macbook Pro. I turned it on for the very first time, entered in my name and password, etc. Then I inserted the SL upgrade diskd circular arrow, then black screen again.. It started up, I acknowledged the license agreement, it said it would take 56 minutes to install. So I walked away. Came back ten minutes later to a blank screen. It would not respond to swipe or click, i.e. no wake-up. After a few more minutes the computer seemed dark, cold, silent. Holding down the power button finally started it back up.
    Disk spun, Apple log and spinning arrow, then blank screen again. I was finally able to eject the upgrade disk. I had to re-install Leopard and parts of iLife.
    So what is a normal looking upgrade? Should the screen go blank? Did I screw things up with lack of patience?
    Any insights appreciated.
    Thanks, Joe

    The screen should not go black.
    Actually, this is normal for the default installation method (IOW, not starting by running from the DVD). The installer will first run some checks & then transfer a bunch of files to the drive for later use. The screen will be normal while this happens, but eventually the installer will restart the Mac & for a while the screen will be black -- typically less than a minute but sometimes longer. After this, the screen should reappear.
    So, it is best to be patient & give the process some time to continue before deciding something is wrong & forcing a shutdown or restart.

  • The files for after effects are not ther but still creative cloud thinks its installed

    My Macs Creative Cloud thinks that I have After Effects CC installed but when i search my mac no files are there :/ help me get a sollution as to how to fix this.

    Hello,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • What computer is great for After Effects?

    I know the specs for a computer and everything for adobe after effects, i just want to find a computer that has in all in one. or a link to a computer that will run successfully with Adobe After Effects. Someone please help!

    AE requires CPU Cores/threads and ram. The X79 workstation with the 6 Core CPU's such as the 4930K or the Xeon E5 V2 chips up to the 12 Core is the ideal configuration for AE. 32GB of ram is the least you want to start with if the CPU is a 6 Core. The more cores the CPU has then the more ram you want. A 12 Core CPU would need 64GB of ram to start with. Keep in mind though that Haswell E and X99 are coming soon. That is the next generation of the workstation and server platforms. Haswell E will introduce DDR4 which will have a large impact on applications in the Adobe suite especially AE. There is will  be an 8 Core CPU in the I7 class as well which is likely to be the ideal processor since it will be unlocked with clock options well over 4GHz.

  • What does the IR for my Pavillion dv6985se do/What is it capable of doing?

    Hello,
    First off, thanks for taking the time to look at the question, and moreso to answer it.
    I recently acquired an HP Capshare 920, but I'm having difficulty using the serial cable in conjunction with my computer as listed above (Vista). 
    I am going to attempt to use the IR option of information transfer from the Capshare, which it as, but was wondering if the IR on my laptop is actually configured or able to receive such information.  Is it? 
    Any assistance is appreciated.... rob

    What I would like for it to do are the following:
    - host h.264 videos that can be viewed either on the web or downloaded
    Yes.
    - host all types of files that can be embedded or downloaded, such as .PPT, .doc, .PDF, etc.
    Yes.
    - host .flv files that can be embedded on various pages
    Haven't tried hosting flash video. Apple tends to host H.264 streams.
    - setup to push images to Macs across our organization
    Yes.
    Does any of this seem unreasonable?
    No.
    Can it do all of this simultaneously?
    The web serving capabilities of an Xserve box are typically limited by sufficient storage and network bandwidth. The box itself is fast. Some folks look to use content providers for higher-volume requirements; this for loads larger than your network bandwidth and your available Xserve servers.

  • I5-3210M for After Effects?

    Will the i5-3210M 2.5GHz processor be able to run After Effects smothly? I mean editing some HD or FullHD videos (recorded with Galaxy Nexus) with VFXs like smoke, fire, rain, wind and so on? I know the best processor for AE is an i7 but the computer that really goes with me (all components and design) has an i5-3210M and I want to know if it will be able to run AE. Thank you

    > Your effects are going to be coming via your vid card. Your Processor does help them but not all, only if you lack a video card.
    That is completely false.
    The GPU does nothing to accelerate the processing of effects. The CPU processes all effects.
    The CPU is much, much more important than the GPU for After Effects.
    This page describes everything that the GPU does in After Effects, and it is not very much:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html
    To answer the original poster's question:
    Yes, you can use an i5 processor. People have made very compelling work with less powerful processors. Just know that the tradeoff is performance, and you may need to either learn to be patient during longer renders or be clever about how you plan your work and optimize for performance.

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

  • The ideal hardware setup / arrangement for After Effects?

    Hello there,
    Looking to buy some new hardware and am hoping to find some advice on the ideal hardware config for making After Effects scream. I find this questions is sorely lacking answers on the Internet beyond the basics of 'boot from an SSD' and the like... So I am hoping someone can answer these questions once and for all.
    Two things I am after:
    1. Fast working performance in AE. So when I move a layer about I am able to see it move smoothly in real-time as I drag it about with my mouse. Right now I get either stuttered movement when moving larger layers about, or the image begins to pixelate/drop res to such a horrible extent that I can not see what I am doing. The problem extends to when I am working with a large project file, with many layers, I get nasty lag when attempting to move about in the timeline, opening comps, etc. Everything starts to move quite slowly once I go past a certain number of layers. What upgrades will speed this element, the day to day working rather than rendering, up the most?
    2. Faster rendering. Though this is not as key as point number 1.
    I am guessing this performance will he helped by a beefier graphics card and more/faster RAM? I currently have a GTX 660ti 2GB and am upgrading to a GTX980 4GB, so hoping that will improve this.
    I also have 64 GB of 1600 speed ram that AE happily consumes so think that base is covered. My CPU is a 3930k that is slightly overclocked. It gets maxed out when multicore rendering is happening but not otherwise. I've heard turning hyperthreading off in the BIOS can actually help AE performance?
    I am booting/running AE from an SSD (Samsung 840 Pro), and have set my media cache to another dedicated SSD (Samsung 840 Pro). I run/keep my project files on yet another SSD and have other drives holing media.
    My drive config plan is this:
    - Boot from one 240GB SSD.
    - Project files and current working media on 2x 1TB SSDs in RAID 0 (backed up)
    - Further media storage on 2x 3TB HDDs in RAID 0 (backed up)
    Now I am wondering if I can simply use the 2TB of SSD goodness as both the location for my AE media cache AND my project files/working media? Or am I better off having three fast and seperate storage locations? 1 for the boot, 2 for the project files and media, 3 for the cache?
    Otherwise I am running AE on a Hackintosh 3930k CPU overclocked slightly, 64 GB RAM, Sabertooth X79 mobo, 660ti graphics card.
    All comments/advice links much appreciated. Apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere but I have yet to find a detailed response and only generalized comments such as 'use a fast drive for your media cache.'
    What I would really like to know is the BEST drive configuration, the questioned detailed above...And what will increase the speed and quality of my real-time workflow in AE the most. Quickly navigating projects without lag, opening detailed comps with many layers, and moving large images around without lag or pixelation.
    Thank you!

    for After Effects advice, Eric on the forum here can give you the best info. However, I have seen him say many times that AE is MEMORY INTENSIVE,....the more, the better. You HAVE 64GB...that seems very adequate for most workflows.
    The OTHER thing he says is that other than Ray-Tracing, the GPU is HARDLY used at all.....CPU speed and number of cores are a BIG factor in AE performance.....your 3930k overclocked should be adequate....the MORE OC, the BETTER.
    Next is the drive system....you have NOT described EXACTLY what you are doing NOW....you mentioned what your PLAN is,but for , right NOW you said : " I run/keep my project files on yet another SSD and have other drives holing media.  "
    HERE is where you MAY be doing something that may....or may NOT.....be causing slowdowns.   With AE it is RECOMMENDED to use a dedicated drive  for the "Global Performance Cache"...the HIGHER the speed of this drive, the BETTER, as AE STORES already "rendered" frames, ( for "previews", of course), on it so it DOESN"T have to RE-RENDER ALL the frames all over again every time you make a change to your work !!! So, in YOUR case : your OS drive is great...Samsung Pro models are the BEST...you have the 840 Pro ,which is only SLIGHTLY behind the 850 Pro in performance. ANOTHER 840,or, 850 Pro would be GREAT as the " Global performance cache drive" AND would also be the place to put ALL previews,Cache files, media cache files for Premier Pro,too. The overall speed and less latency of the SATAIII SSD will surpass the performance of a 2 disk  RAID 0....even a 3 disk RAID 0.
    Next....the speed at which you SERVE UP the video files can be important in preventing a slowdown.....ESPECIALLY if using large, uncompressed files. Here, you have options.....it is NOT necessary to put your project files on a SEPARATE drive from your media...you just want to make sure that the drive with your media and project files is as fast as the OTHERS in your system ! SO, you COULD use a THIRD SSD as a "working drive" for ACTIVE projects only.....a 1TB SSD perhaps...Crucial M550 is CHEAPER than the Samsung and as good as the 840 pros. As the CAPACITY of SSDs are small...you would MOVE all media and completed project files to HDDs for archiving and storage....the use of RAID with your existing HDDs would NOT be needed for this function.
    Another option would be to take FOUR quality 1TB HDDs...( the Seagates are selling for $44 right now), and create a RAID 0 off the motherboard to have a large 4TB capacity AND speed similar to the SSDs!   WARNING !!! the odds of ONE drive failing are BIG....you would immediately lose ALL your data !! HOWEVER....if you back up that RAID 0 RELIGIOUSLY....you would have NO worries. One way to do THAT is to buy a 4TB ENTERPRISE level 7200rpm HDD....Seagate has one with a 128 MB cache that does over 200MB/sec. for just over $300.
    Even with all this covered, there are MANY factors which can CHOKE a fast computer....the CODECS you are using have a HUGE bearing on performance. The VERSION of After Effects is important...NEWEST versions have the BEST performance with features like the "global performance cache", etc. The use of "third party plug-ins" can CRIPPLE a machine if these are NOT written to take advantage of "hyperthreading",OR, are "32 bit" and HUMBLE your machine because AE is NOW 64 bit!!
    Make sure you have Windows fully updated and the newest drivers for your video card. Then , make sure your Windows POWER SETTINGS are set to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE when"plugged in"....the DEFAULT Windows settings...even under "high performance" has setttings that will THROTTLE your GPU and CPU if you don't change them.....I found THAT out the hard way!
    Finally, make sure , in AE settings, you have set the"memory allocation" correctly...there is a formula regarding how much to assign on a "per CPU core basis". There ALSO is a selection to make for "allowing multiple frames" to be processed...make sure THAT is set correctly.
    Good luck !!     I hope this helps!
