CC Particle World error: SetOutputWorld called with a world of the wrong size

$

0

I have a CC Particle World, with pretty constant settings:

Birth rate drops to 0 after a while, longevity set to comp length.

radius x 0,11

radius z 0,23

radius z 0,885

physics (viscouse) all set to 0

particle type bubble, size variation 62% max opacity 44%

opacity map: origin constant

transfer mode: screen

 

that's everything I touched, and I'm getting error popup screen with: "AfterEffects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {SetOutputWorld called with a world of the wrong size} ( 78 :: 4 )" whenever I scrub the timeline for a while.

 

Any hints to where the problem might be are highly appreciated!


Is my nvidia gt 710 graphic's card compatible with After Effects CC

$

I originally thought that after effects would automatically use the graphics card. But now I found out that isnt the case. When I click under preference and try to switch to GPU instead of CPU it doesn't allow me. Does that mean my graphics card isnt compatible? Is there a way of getting around this? I have the latest version of AE just fyi. Hope you can help. Thanks

After Effects workstation build advice (i7 vs Dual Xeon)

$
0
0

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!?

Frustrating media encoder render glitch.

Hi. At the moment I am trying to render a video I have made in Adobe After Effects CC (2015.3) by exporting it to Adobe Media Encoder (2015.3). However, despite it working perfectly on the preview in after effects and the media encoder, it does this:

This is really annoying me. I have already searched through the forums trying to find a similar instance of this but couldn't find any. Please lend any assistance.

 

*Disclaimer*

I tried a render to an AVI file in after effects itself and it was all good just to see if it was me or the media encoder.

After Effects CC 2015.3 v13.8.1 High Ram Usage with simple processing

$
0
0

I have been meaning to tell you, All 5.9 Gb RAM  that i dedicate to my AE is used after 20 minutes of simple processing. I just do some very simple motion graphic design with 3 simple layers without any imported objects. the very first moment of running AE, it gets only about 300 Mb of my ram, but after a couple of minutes it goes to more than 90% of using RAM; so my Laptop's fan speeds up and sound like an overheating.

Important Note: I just have to Purge the "Memory and Disk" so as to reduce the RAM usage of AE in every 20 Minutes, and again the Ram usage will be high.

 

Note 1: I check the processes that possess the Ram significantly: I only have AE running.

Note 2: I give the AE 11 Gb disk cache on SSD drive.

Note 3:

  • CPU: Intel Core I7 6700 HQ
  • VGA: GTX 960M
  • Ram: 8 Gb of DDR4

 

I don't reckon the 90 % usage of Ram just for a very simple processing is fine. what is the best way to get rid of that problem?

 

 

Thank You,

Muhammad

CC Vector Blur - 'Amount' setting

$
0
0

Hi all, I posted this in 'scripting', but was advised to post here too.

 

I'm working with the CC vector plugin. Not entirely in the way it was intended...

 

I'm using it to create abstract stills at high resolutions, but the 'amount' variable is capped at '500'. At resolutions greatly beyond HD, this starts to be an extremely limiting factor.

 

Is there any way to force the plugin into values above 500? Are there any alternatives I can try that use similar algorithmic blurs but perhaps without this limitation? Would definitely like to see this upper value raised in future updates.

 

Many thanks,

Owen.

Gremlins. Why do my After Effects projects change when I return to them later?

$

Recently, I have found that when I return to a finished project to revisit it, changes have happened. I'm not talking about missing footage, that can be avoided by collecting files at the end. It's bizarre things like key frame animations using shapes built in after affects that change. Animations that have been set up and rendered, no longer are set up in the same way. Why is this? Is it the Gremlins. Any help on this would be gratefully received, I would say that I would pull my hair out, but I have no hair left to pull out, so I just say it's frustrating.

Expressions are not linking to values in same or other comps

I've never experienced this problem before but for some reason the most basic of expressions are not linking to other values either in the same comp or in other comps.

Take a look. This example just shows a basic pickwhip from one opacity value to another.

I really hope someone can help me figure out what's going on.

Shatter effect broken

I'm applying a shatter effect to a background image to make it looks like it explodes. It worked great yesterday but today the shatter is starting already shattered, instead of together. I don't want this effect, I want it to start unshattered then explode. Is there a setting for this or is the effect defective now?

User Interface Max Lightness

Hi,

 

I'm an After Effects teacher. For the video projection, my students prefer an interface with more brightness.

In the preference setting Appearance, maximum Brightness is too low.

I try to change the preference file. I found this lines :

 

"User Interface Max Darkness Percent" = "70"

"User Interface Max Lightness Percent" = "50"

(in Adobe After Effects 13.2 Prefs.txt)

 

and

 

"User Interface Brightness (4) [0.0..1.0]" = "0.000000"

(in Adobe After Effects 13.2 Prefs-indep-general.txt)

 

I made many tests but it doesn't work.

Is it impossible to change the maximum brightness by editing the preference file?

 

Thanks

Rendering Q's

Hi.

Is it faster, let's say, to generate particles or to use a footage of particles if possible, rendering-wise?

On the same matter are hidden layers still get rendered?

And third, if you could direct me to a link with recommendations for optimizing export/rendering, I would be grateful.

hey folks,

I have a problem with CPU-GPU. On screen Preferences - Previews I have screen like that. I could not able to select CPU and also I could not see anything about OpenGl. What do you think about this problem? May I have old graphics driver?

After Effects CC15.3 GPU not available with Quadro FX 4800 on Mac Pro 2010

$

Hello dear community,

 

First my configuration :

Mac Pro mid-2010 (5.1) 2 x 6 core, 32 Go RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1500 Mo DDR3

After Effects CC 15.3

Last updated drivers for NVIDIA and CUDA.

 

Here's the problem :

In the "GPU Informations" panel inside AE preferences, it's impossible to select the GPU for raytracing, it appears grey in the drop-down menu.

 

 

(sorry it's in french)

Ebauche rapide : Disponible

Mémoire de textures : 614,00 Mo

Lancer de rayon : Unité centrale

(GPU indisponible - Périphérique ou pilote CUDA incompatible)

OpenGL

Fournisseur : NVIDIA Corporation

Périphérique : NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 OpenGL Engine

Version : 2.1 NVIDIA-10.11.13 346.03.15f03

Mémoire totale : 1,50 Go

Modèle d’ombrage : -

CUDA

Version du pilote : (5.0 ou version ultérieure requise)

Périphériques : -

Mémoire utilisable actuelle : -

Mémoire utilisable max. : -

 

Any clue about this ? After Effects recognizes the NVIDIA card but says it's incompatible.

 

I know it would be much better to work with Cinema4D but the problem is i'm not the one who created this project, i have to work on it and deal with the raytraced 3D...

 

Thanks to everyone for your help

For the first time a band has commissioned me a cartoon for a music video.

I'm a graphic designer and comics artist and it's the first time someone commissions me a cartoon, until now I've done some GIF in Photoshop and I'm taking the first steps with After Effects.

I would to ask you which animation software you advice me to use and where I can find good tutorial / tips n tricks

And which price is fair for this work ?
