Hardware optimisation for Premiere and After Effects

October 23, 2016, 6:46 am

Hi,

 

I'm using the latest version of Premiere and After Effects CC. When I try to render my movies and After Effects projects, my computer is still pretty slow, even though I'm using a 6 core machine with 32GB RAM.

During rendering, the CPU load is about 35%, while the RAM usage is about 80%. Do you think I can speed up the rendering, when I exchange my 32GB of RAM with 64GB of RAM? Or would it make more sense to exchange the graphics card?

 

I'm using a GeForce GTX980 Ti Graphics card in an ASUS ROG Rampage V Extreme Mainboard. Files are being exchanged through a D2 drive, hence it's the fastest I could get. I do not see any limitation here.

 

Suggestions are welcome.

Motion Tracking doesn't work

I have tried to motion track a few frames, some of them with little motion, some with a lot, all with good lighting and focus, but for some reason my after affects keeps on giving me an "analysis solve failed" error no matter how simple the frame is. It has also made my After Effects quit unexpectedly at least five times already. I have tried quitting and reopening after effects several times and creating new projects but nothing works.

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks,

Asaf.

Animate a dynamic logo

Hey!

 

I just started to use after effects a few weeks ago. Now I would like to animate a dynamic logo I designed in the past.

It should be a fluid animation with a change of forms and colors. So what do you think is the best way to do so?

 

The image shows a few of the different characters. The one at the top shows the initial position.

 

Thank you in advance!

Caro

Hey!

 

 

Ich habe vor einigen Wochen angefangen mich mit After Effects zu beschäftigen. Jetzt würde ich gerne ein dynamisches Zeichen animieren.

Es sollte eine flüssige Animation sein, in der sich die Form und Farbe für jedes Zeichen ändern. Wie würdet ihr in diesem Fall am besten vorgehen?

 

Das Bild im Anhang beinhaltet einige der Zeichen, das obere zeigt die Ausgang Position.

 

Danke schonmal,

Caro

Hi dear people!

 

I'm somewhat new to after effects. So im not familiar with the terminology and what to look for.

 

What im trying to do:

I have a video that pans in a room from left to right without an object

and i have second video, pretty much the same, but WITH an object.

I want the object to appear out of nothing with some cool effects. Like particle coming together. I has to be sci-fisch

 

Can you guys tell me what kind of effects and terms im involved with here?? Its hard to find tutorials on it if you dont know what to look for.

 

Many thanks in advance!!!!!

HELP! Audio Problem when importing Premiere Project to After Effects

October 23, 2016, 12:35 am

Hi, I hope someone can help me out.

 

Short backstory of my workflow in case it helps: When I film my videos, I also record audio using a separate mic in Audacity. From Audacity, I export that audio as MP3 files. Then in Adobe Premiere CS6, I replace my video's audio with the audio from Audacity and link them together (because my separate mic records better sound than my camera's mic). Then I edit my videos in Premiere, and import the project to After Effects CS6 to add effects (color correction, animation, etc)

 

Now my problem is this: When I import my Premiere Pro project containing the linked video and audio to After Effects, I noticed that the sound quality if bad (it sounds like a tin can or something). So I went back to my Premiere file, unlinked my video and audio, then reimported the Premiere project. This seems to do the trick in terms of quality, but the thing is when I try to adjust the audio levels of that sound layer in After Effects (add keyframes and adjust volume in certain places), the sound only plays through the Left Channel.

 

This is the wavelength of my audio file. I don't know audio terminology, but to me it clearly shows that there's sound in both channels:

Screen Shot 2016-10-23 at 3.24.02 PM.png

 

But this is how it looks like when it's played. Sound only comes out from one channel:

Screen Shot 2016-10-23 at 3.24.38 PM.png

This only happens to the audio files I exported from Audacity AND imported as part of a Premiere Pro Project in After Effects. I tried making a new AE composition, and dragged in my audio file there, and it plays fine even with audio level adjustments. I have no idea what could've caused this glitch, and why it doesn't seem to affect the layers of my mp3 background music.

 

Help please! I've tried to find solutions in Google, but I don't even know where to begin searching, or what this problem is called.

Pixel Motion Blur suddenly not working

October 22, 2016, 9:38 pm

I've been working on an AE project for the last few days and discovered the Pixel Motion Blur effect which is terrific. However when I opened the file this morning two strange things have happened since yesterday:

  1. I had applied this effect to a few layers in my comp which also had Element 3D applied to them higher in the stack but the Pixel Motion Blur effect no longer appears in the Effect Controls window beloe the Element 3D effect. Yet the Pixel Motion Blur effect is clearly still being applied to these layers as is evident in the preview.
  2. Now when I try to apply the Pixel Motion Blur effect to new layers which have Element 3D, the whole layer just goes black.

I think there may have been an update to AE overnight which may be affecting this. I can't work out how to check this though as when I click the Help menu the 'Updates' item is greyed out and not selectable.

Is there a way to roll back to the previous version to see if this fixes it? I have Creative Cloud CC on a Windows 7 system.

Thanks.

After Effects error: Photoshop file format error 3415 ( 45 :: 35 )

I just installed After Effects CC 2015 today and then installed an update to After Effects which addresses Adobe Camera Raw. I am running Windows 7. I am now unable to import .dng footage shot on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera into After Effects. ACR opens and shows me the first frame of the DNG sequence just fine but when I close ADR I get the error message:

 

After Effects error: Photoshop file format error 3415.

( 45 :: 35 )

 

The image I see in After Effects is then that of the HD Bars and Tone, which indicates a missing or non-viewable file.

 

Suggestions?

so the time between this video Woman inspects Donald Trump's hair on stage - YouTube  0:29 and 0:36 im trying to get donald trumps head to stabilize but cant seem to do so

i tried out different settings for the warp stabilizer on the footage as well as going to "stabilization motion" then checking position rotation and scale....place 2 pointers, 1 on each star in the background...tracking, then applying to X and Y but neither as well as the combination of both didnt seem to help

 

any help would be much appreciated, thanks

After Effects workstation build advice (i7 vs Dual Xeon)

August 27, 2016, 8:43 am

Hi everyone.

 

There's a few old topics on this that I can find but no recent ones with any feedback from Adobe that I can find - if there is, just point me in their direction!

 

I'm looking to build a new rig with a budget of £4000 (ish) but having difficulty deciding whether I'd benefit from the extra cores (20 vs 8) a Dual Xeon setup would provide, vs a high powdered i7 build. Something like...

 

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v4 (£1230, 20 cores total)  vs  Core i7 6900K (£950, 8 cores total)

 

The primary objective of a new build is to speed up render times in After Effects. I do 3D work as well so a boost in rendering speed in that will be really useful too, but I primarily use After Effects for my work.

 

Now, I know in the past (CC2014 and prior) After Effects could only really make use of all those lovely cores if there was enough memory for each one, so buying loads of RAM used to make sense. If this was CC2014, for a 20 core system (40 if you count hyper-threading), I'd need at least 128Gb RAM (3Gb/core, or preferably 256Gb to allow 6Gb/core) to make it really worthwhile for speeding up renders in After Effects.

 

BUT, since CC2015, the rendering engine has changed a lot and I can't find any solid information on whether each core needs so much RAM anymore, or whether After Effects actually benefits from loads of cores that the Xeon's would provide in abundance, or the relative higher clock-speeds per core that the 6900K blasts out.

 

I do know (at least I think I do!) the dual Xeon workstation will be significantly faster for 3D rendering in C4D (and Max, and Houdini etc.) than an i7 6900K will be, but that's not my main concern, especially as I intend to stick at least two nVidia GTX cards in there (1070's or 1080's) as I use Octane to render when I can anyway, which is a GPU based render and once it's optimised for CUDA8, two GTX 1080's should provide a pretty decent/fast 3D rendering solution for my needs.

 

Any advice folks? Anyone happen to have used both those CPU options, or are able to provide benchmarks for similar setups?

 

I'm happy to put together a few AE project files for someone to benchmark if you're up for it!?

Audio Spectrum and MP3 Not Working

Hi everyone! First post here, but I really need help!

I am working on a podcast and we are having a video version go up with an audio spectrum effect to have something to watch as people listen to our discussion. I have cut the podcast up into chunks of about 5-10 minute clips in Premiere and then link the audio and background imagery to After Effects. I then create a solid layer, apply the Audio Spectrum effect, and After Effects will not play the audio. The preview with audio button is on, and I've used RAM Preview. Furthermore, the Audio Spectrum effect simply stutters and does not follow along with the audio. There is no waveform available.

 

What's weird is it JUST worked two days ago with some audio samples (also MP3 and from the same recording software we have). The only thing I've changed is where the media is cached. I've since changed it back to it's old spot, but that didn't fix it. I am running on a computer that has more than enough power and memory to render this all. Please help!

How can I start my motion portfolio

Hi guys.

I want to apply Motion Graphic graduate program in Fall 2017, and my deadline of handing out my portfolio is 2017/1/10.

I have knowledge of both making animation(3D&2D) and writing code. (I was a game designer)

 

My Question is, I need to make 1 showreel, 3 motion video, 1 introduction video, but I have only left 2 months to prepare all of these stuff.

I have been watched various tutorial videos on youtube for a couple of days, but I still don't know how to make my portfolio, I have no idea how to start it.

 

I wonder know that what way to learn AE and finish the portfolio is the efficient way for me?

I am thinking to use a lot of templates, and then revise them to my own works. Is this a bad way to learn AE? or many of you are doing these things too?

What is the correct way to learn AE?

 

Thanks for your help.

Is 3D vector or bitmap?

Hi, I'm completely new to 3D, especially 3D in after effects. I want to hire someone to make a 3D logo for me, but I'm not sure if 3D art is vector based or bitmap (pixels). This is important because if 3D is bitmap I will have to complete more in my scene for after effects before I have a 3D logo created, whereas if it's vector, I can have it created now and resize it later.

something like that for a banner..for adwords..

Now i made banners in Adobe Animate...but sometimes i see some beautiful effects...and hear the name of after effects..

 

Sorry, if i'm asking something stupid ;-(

Hypnotizing GIFs By James R. Eads And The Glitch - YouTube

 

I've been thinking and trying multiple effects on pictures in After effects but I can't seem to achieve the animation like in the video. Also tried searching the internet for some sort of tutorial but I wasn't able to. This has been on my mind for days. Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
