Slow Render [extreme] within my AE Project
Hi. I recently upgraded to OS X 10.10.1 on my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012). specs are attached below.
I've always kept up on the latest and greatest version of CC After Effects, and haven't had really any issues with AE, prior to
upgrading to Yosemite.
Here's my issue. I have a Comp in AE which is :15 in length. It's a logo reveal that I've been using for months with a client, and they love it.
It uses Trapcode Particular to reveal the logo in a 'plasma' looking way. This Comp never gave me any issues when tweaking and/or
rendering prior to the Yosemite upgrade. I'm in Classic 3D mode...have never even touched the Ray Tracing stuff for this project.
Now, when I go into the comp and scrub the timeline....the beachball is constantly trying to catch up with what I'm doing. It takes forever
to catch up. I even keep the comp at a quarter resolution, and it still can't keep up. Mind you, this didn't happen prior to
the Yosemite upgrade. At this point, the only thing I need to change for the client is a simple text line. The plasma reveal of their logo never
changes. The render time used to be a 6 minute render. It now tells me over 4 hours to render this :15 clip.
I uploaded this project to my friend to see if he is getting the same long render time. He does not. It takes him about 6 to 10 minutes
to render the comp...and he gets no beachball when scrubbing the timeline. So I have to assume something is wrong with my computer.
He recommended changing my Creative Cloud sign in name and try to re-render after doing that. I haven't tried this approach yet.
Does anyone else have this problem, or are things I could try to save me time on this render? Thanks, Rob

CC 2014 space preview not in realtime
Hello, I just recently purchased an 27-inch iMac, and installed the trails for CC 2014 fully updated and found that After Effects would not render in realtime when I pressed space. I would RAM preview it and it would be fine, but when I pressed space I was getting 20fps out of the 25 comp, even when it was fully rendered and cached. I am using the GPU settings, and have turn on/off the render multiple frames and that has not fixed the problem.
I have done compositions in 4k, 1080p, 720p and even created a 10 pixel x 10 pixel composition with only a single solid and it still only renders at 20fps when I press space. I have also created a composition with nothing in it at all at the aforementioned resolutions and when I press space I get 20fps not realtime. I have tried different preview methods (Full through to quarter) and fast draft, full and adaptive, and still getting the exact same problem.
Any help on this would be very grateful.

After Effects 50 fps footage
Hello,
So I am SUPER new to anything After Effects but I am getting the hang of it, so if I don't know what your talking about just bare with me. Alright, so I shot some footage the other day on a Canon d3500 DSLR. I did not know that they shot on a higher frame rate, 50 fps. Now I am After Effects and I added some VFX to one clip and I am trying to render it out but everything I use either gives me the "Mismatched Settings" triangle/exclamation symbol at the bottom, no video and just the audio, or the video is slo-mo and the audio doesn't sync up because it's going normal speed. So what's the deal, what am I doing wrong. I checked all the settings and everything appears to be correct (again I have no clue what I am changing, I've been reading a lot about this in the last 24hrs but that's about it). All the settings say 50 fps and I assume that's what I want is for the settings to match my camera that I shot it on? Any way, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will add the details of my movie file in here just in case that helps. Cheers!

After Effects CC Lost CUDA Support
We're having an issue using CUDA GPU rendering on both Premiere and AE. The editor has mentioned that output has recently begun to stutter and skip, and after a bit of digging he noticed that neither program was utilizing CUDA as expected.
We're on a Mac Pro 5,1, 12GB RAM, 3.06 GHz 6-Core Xeon CPU, on Mac OS X 10.8.5. The graphics card we're running is an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680. We have reinstalled both the CUDA (v. 6.0.37) and NVIDIA (313.01.04f01) drivers without any change in behavior.
What we're seeing in After Effects is this:
In Preferences>GPU Information, we are unable to select 'GPU' from the Ray-tracing dropdown. The message "GPU not available - incompatible device or CUDA driver' appears. Under the CUDA section, it is entirely greyed out and Driver Version is listed as 1.0, despite us having version 6.0.37 installed.
After some digging around I found a tutorial for setting up CUDA support by adding entries to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. Our card is already on the list, but I noticed something interesting when I used the GPUSniffer (as suggested) to get the card information: there is no entry for CUDA, despite the GTX 680 (supposedly) having CUDA support. I do, however, see it as an OpenCL device. GPUSniffer output is:

How to tell AE CS6 to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro?
I recently upgraded my bundled Mocha from AE CS6 to Mocha Pro 4, but for some unknown reason, it won't let me export shape data in Mocha. There seems to be no data at all, as even trying to paste in Notepad results in nothing. Tracking data, however, works fine (both in AE and Notepad).
Since I cannot figure out any solution in Mocha, the only thing I can do is use bundled Mocha rather than Pro... but I do not know how to tell AE to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro when I click 'Track In Mocha' (...a setting which was changed when Pro was installed).
Does anyone know where/how I can switch it to Mocha bundled when you click on Track In Mocha? (or, does anyone have any idea why Pro would not export shape data, whereas the same project in bundled Mocha did?)
If anyone has any answers or theories, please let me know ASAP, as I have a project I'm trying to complete, and (as luck always has it) the weekend is now upon us, and support is closed over the weekend.

Animation Curves?
I have an animation of a car moving from point A to B then B to C the are a few seconds between B then B in the timeline. When I scrub through the timeline the car moves forward then back to original position instead of staying in place for few second the position is supposed to be the same. I have tried several things but it still does this. How do I fix this.

After Effects won't import any animation presets from Bridge.
I just installed Creative Cloud. It seems to be working fine, except that when I try to apply Animation Presets into After Effects through Bridge, it gives me an error message saying "Can't import file xxx.fxx: unsupported filtype or extension"
I'm not trying to import a "file" or anything.... simply trying to apply an animation preset to a video clip on an AE timeline. Never had any issues doing this with CS5. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks

Why does my path change position when I paste it (to a mask, or position, ...)?
Hello,
Why does my path change position when I paste it (to a mask, or position, ...)?
I'm using AE CS6 and AI CS6.
I opened a AI document in AE and converted it to shapes and resized and repositioned it.
Then I tried to copy/paste the path from the shape to a lens flare center (to animate the lens flare). And that worked but, but it has moved off quite a bit and out of frame.
Thanks,
Elele.

Stabilizing trouble
I tried to stabilize some footage of a face talking and had 3 separate faces.The first one was perfect and the tracking and applying worked well but on the next two, the tracking was a little bit iffy and when I clicked apply just to see what would happen,all it did was tilt the video and besides that it still wasn't stabilized.

Audio not playing on timeline in CS4
Hi Everyone, Sub: Audio not playing in AE CS4.
I'm trying to author a video sequence with audio in AE CS4. It has to be synced bit by bit, mean to say voice to be matched to the video/sequence of animation.
But im getting a huge problem here, my video works but my audio is not working i can't hear audio at all... i tried importing audio in mp3, mp4 & wav format but no solution i face the same problem. But outside CS4 the audio play very fine, i even used many device to test the audio everywhere the audio is working fine.. and my system hardware(Sound) are up-to-date.
i browsed google and tried all kind of solution provided there but no use. i used numpad+0 for voice but every time it starts from beginning like a ram preview. It is difficult from to adjust the voice in between/ sync to it exactly. I changed the settings by going to preferences and output but no use
I badly need a solution... or i want to know CS4 is best or not or can't be used for authoring purpose. I feel its best for me to edit, author it and fast.
Please guide me out of this problem, thanks in advance.
Regards

Imported Illustrator shapes with gradients turning gray after creating shapes from vector layer in After Effects
Hello,
I imported an Illustrator file with different shapes with gradients into After Effects. When I create shapes from the vector layers the shapes are turning gray and the gradients are lost.
I already found some thing which helped others to solve this problem but I already checked them but it still doesn't work:
- All used colors are process colors
- The document color profile is RGB
- every shape is on its own layer
- I created the .ai with the Video and Film template
- I created a PDF compatible file
I would be very happy if anybody could help me. Recreating the gradient in After Effects is not a solution for me. :-)

Different colors on the same hardware?
Hello,
we are using 9 computer to render with After Effects. The machines are configured as a RenderEngine. Since a view weeks we have trouble with one computer. The colors from an imported video (.mov 1920x1080 @ 25p - AppleProRes 4:2:2 - Recorded with OdysseyQ7) are different to a nother machine with the exact same hardware. It seems that the colors are the same on animations, but the import of this video creates a little bit brighter image. Playback with Quciktime creates the same color. Any ideas?
What I've tried:
- update Quciktime
- update Display Drivers
- Reinstalled After Effects and cleaned everything before (AppData and so on)
Thanks

What happened to this forum?
My god has everything turned into a social media circus? I miss the old adobe forum where once you started a thread it was easily accessible to log in and find latest started threads. Now I log in and everything is like a yahoo splash page of what is trending... I cannot find any of my started threads (which are what is important to me) as those are the questions and topics I am dealing with....
I posted this in After Effects as I know that is where the smarter guys are.... LOL I started a thread in Lightroom and well I cannot even find it to bump it. Where do I find my started threads in my CP?

CPU : AMD FX-6300
RAM: DDR3 - 8GB
GPU: ATi R9 270x - 4GB

Can i enable OpenGL renderer for my AAE with the current card? Is there going to be any difference if i change my GPU to Quadro K4200? Or do I only need to upgrade to SSD and install more RAM?
