View 1 RepliesIs there a way to apply slow motion to just a couple of seconds or so of a clip without having it apply to the whole clip?

I have tried cycling through the various time modes by ctrl clicking it as well as modifyign it in file->project settings, yet seconds will not show up on the time ruler. Please view the image below. I have also tried resetting the work space to standard default with no result.

I'm trying to edit a set of titles made in Premiere in After Effects, and after I import the file (as a Premiere file) then load the sequence into the timeline; the preview is just a black screen throughout the entire preview. The titles never show up.

the freeze is rondom. it can be triggered by commands, escape button, panning arround the drawing. The problem occurs periodically for say 1 day every few days autocad will have pauses. But other days its fast with no problems.
i have tried all the usual things for slow down. purge, audit, layerdlgmode. I do not think it is general slow down.
My Question,rather my problem is that when I do a ram preview of my Ae Projects...something really strange happens. When Ram Preview is started,in the Composition Panel a new window thing appears in which the RAM preview is ongoing, nd of
which is out of view of the composition panel.When I zoom out the composition panel behaves strange and the RAM preview and everything else disappears from view,although the RAM preview is still playing in the background.

I just upgraded to After Effects CS6 on a MAC OS X 10.6.8..My probelm is that for certain effects, the RAM preview is not clearing after I make a change. In particular, with "Particle Playground" I have the layer map as another composition. When I make a change to the layer image in its composition, the particle playground composition does not reflect the change and just stays the same.
If I then make another parameter change, the new layer will be there, but if I undo that change it goes back to the old layer map. If I reneder it out to a file it is fine and reflects all changes. However, the preview RAM system seems to be very buggy and very hard to clear out old RAM previews so that changes are reflected in the new preview.
The same thiings happens if I use an expression in particle playground. I change the expression and the preview does not change. Purging doesn't even work.
I have project im working for 2 weeks. It was all good till yesterday. Today I opened and tried to Ram preview it, but either it crash and close or if I click the space bar to watch in the midle of ram preview it opens a warning window, with nothing inside (see attach) and I can not close it or do anything else.
Im running a Windows 8 in a IntelCore i7 4770 3.4GHz 3.4GHz, RAM installed 16GB - Video - NVIDIA GFORCE GTX 660
I just can not work this way, I need to finish this program and I can not find a good explanation for this crashes.
i have an issue with ae cs3 , when i import my footage is black solid , i can't preview my footage.my footage is wmv,mp4.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI see the ram preview on the external monitor through a BM Intensity Pro card, but in the computer monitor, it sticks on the first frame, and kind of jitters, with the bounding bow flickering. In fact, I get no real time playback at all any more. Everything worked fine in CS6.

I cannot play the ram preview, when I click the button the image gets flipped and frozen. I can scrub the timeline and see the animation I am working on, but I need a real-time preview. I downloaded the last after effects patch for mavericks, but I think this is an issue with the Iris Pro graphics card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Comp, which admittidely is a render nightmare, with 64 instances of a the same video each 1 frame ahead of the next. So it's very RAM hungry and something of a balancing act between the number of CPUs and how much RAM each is allowed (but generally allowing 3GB per process and 1 less CPU than suggested)
The thing that is killing me though is the RAM Preview is going almost 3x faster than a normal render. Even when the normal render destination is an SSD and compression is None. otherwise exact same settings i.e. 100%, best quality.
The really interesting part is that when doing a MP RAM preview the CPU usage (as viewed in activity monitor) is a solid wall of green but when I do a standard MP render the CPU useage is fluctuating wildly. I've tried various dififerent MP options (all maintaining a safe RAM overhead for the sysytem) with very little difference in performance.

I am buying a laptop for AE for mobile reasons.does the fast preview(so the instant result after changing an effect value you get in the preview window) depend on gpu or cpu, or both depending on what effects are used? I am looking at a 670mx for cuda, but 7970m for dominant opengl scores.
Will these 2 gpu's give me different performances regarding fast preview,or is looking into different gpu's not a worthy question yet due to After effects mostly being a cpu heavy program? Now i know all that ray tracing acceleration and how nvidia cards are necessary for that, but this is regarding fast preview only.
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback."And I have searched this entire forum about a solution but nothing worked.I have been in Preferences-> Memory & Multiprocessing and adjustet the settings.
I have tried PURGE all memory. Uninstalled After Effects CS6. Installed again with update 11.0.3.6 .....and still the problem occurs? I have fought with this error since I installed After Effects CS6. As you can see my computer have enough RAM and CPU power.
i gotta problem wit 'Element 3D v1.6'window version. when im animated E3D and then trynna 'Ram preview' in that case.i gotta error message like below,'element has encountered an unrecoverable error' 'after effect warning: a frame failed to render while using render multiple frames simultaneously. allocating more memory to the background processes in Memory & Multiprocessing preferences may fix this problem.'
but im did it everythin in M&M preference and this error only Rampreviewing wit E3D, anything is cool. My issue is Few days ago Upgrade VGA card n Driver and Element3D v1.6 update.
I would like to know how to do to preview sound in AE without RAM previewing all the clip I'm working on. I have a clip of 3 mins and I need to preview it all from the begining to modify something at 2min45.
How can I RAM preview only a part of my clip ?
I have an external Cinema Display plug with Thunderbolt, but this one don't appear in the external monitors list in the settings menu. I have only access to Firewire output.

View 2 Replies View Relatedsometimes rendering the RAM-Preview takes some time. while waiting I would like at least to read some articles on the internet. But as soon as I click into an other windows, AE stops rendering.
is there a special setting / workaround to avoid this (user-unfriendly behavior) ?
After importing a .mov from a canon t3i.
No audio in the preview and even after render. Why??
This issue started out of nowhere for what I consider to be no reason. Working on average sized 720p compositions with modest animations.
I am running fresh comps in AE CC with absolutely no plugins, freshly purged memory, cleaned cache, restarted comp, no other applications running on computer and 13 gb of memory allocated to AE... etc.
I'm having trouble with AE CC playing a RAM preview at a realtime framerate - it's lagging behind at random speeds. This is a short image sequence (of many more to come) My iMac just seems to struggle with this, I can't figure out why. Is this a Graphics card issue?? We have an older mac here which has an older card with more ram (1024 MB) on the card, which takes longer to render the preview (is that due to less system RAM?) But, plays back with a solid 30fps framerate no worries..Is this a problem with the particular Graphics Card on this iMac? There seems to be little info about this card that I can find with After Effects.
Project task:
- I am only previewing a short (15 sec) 1920 X 1080 image sequence (either TIFF or EXR) at 30 FPS. Ram preview going at around 20-28 fps: 'fps: 20.271 / 30.00 NOT realtime'
- RAM Preview set to Full Res, 30 fps Frame Rate, Composition settings 30fps, footage 30fps
- tried lower quality settings, tried cropping video - same jerky framerate
- Even when video is rendered to a .Mov Lossless file the video is still juddery and appears to be dropping frames when played in Quick Time - VLC is better slightly.
System / Memory Preferences:
Ram shared by other apps: 4GB Ram reserved for AE: 28GB..After Effects Multiprocessing: ON Installed CPUs: 4 CPUs reserved for other apps: 2 RAM allocated per bg CPU: 6GB actual CPUs used: 2
Extra notes:
- Have tried with using less memory on the system, no diffeence - not a problem with the RAM in the iMac (which is above the recommended standard, I know, but works fine with everything)
- Running After Effects CC - no other programs running
- Works fine with other Mac we have - which is OSX Lion & After Effects 5.0 with ATI Radeon 5750 HD 1024MB Graphics Card.
- Had the same issues with After Effects 5.5
- Tried with After Effects 5.5 with Apple RAM 12GB no difference on this machine
- Monitored System CPU & GPU - no problem running at CPU 25% & GPU 40-50%

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with previewing effects in Illustrator. When I do this:
- create or select object
- go to appearance panel
- choose FX -> Stylize -> Drop shadow...
- check Preview in the effects window (it works as expected)
- now uncheck the Preview checkbox (when unchecked, the fx is still visible)
So, unchecking this Preview checkbox doesn't work right. It is very annoying. It is broken for most of the effect in illustrator. Strangly, it works fine with rounded corners effect. But other effects... not.
We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC
Is the anyway i can fix it by myself or do i have to wait for Adobe to have an update. here is a screenshot: [URL]
