CC 2015 Previews Not Real Time
-
Thanks, but since your message said that a bug fix update is coming out next month I’ll just wait for that. I’m going on vacation next week anyway!

Yeah the new RAM preview is brutal over here, too. It might be a bit faster loading in the first place but getting a smooth playback after it’s done is very unreliable.
I just got a new machine at home and so I’m not sure if I could even install the old version if I tried. 🙁 This is one of the really annoying drawbacks of CC.

You can install every version going back to CS6 with your CC account, even on a new machine.

Have I got some good news for you! As Walter points out, you can install not only the current and previous versions, but every version all the way back to (and including) CS6. Your imagined drawback is non-existent and is, in fact, one of the great joys about the CC model!

I didn’t realize that. I rescind my previous complaint. I knew you could roll back one version when there was an update but I thought it only applied if it was one you had recently. Good to know. Thanks guys. 🙂

I also am experience poor preview performance after installing CC-2015. My project is 1920×1080 HD with only graphical elements. While I see the green indicator bar render (like the CS6 RAM preview of old) I get black, vertical lines in the timeline window that correspond with a “Not Realtime” warning and broken audio. If the spot cycles (repeat playback) it actually gets worse. I have upgraded my NVIDIA and Blackmagic drivers. I have gone through all the preference and memory settings. I have tried different dpi settings for the pictures. I have forced the vector-art to RGB, I have degraded the frame rate and resolution on the preview playback settings and I still am getting poor performance on these previews. When I open projects in both CC-2015 and CS6, the CS6 RAM preview works fine. I am sorry this post doesn’t help you with your problem, but I wanted to see if others are also experiencing difficulties with the new “RAM Preview is dead, long live Preview”.

I wished i had read the “What’s New” part a bit more carefully. Right now AE CC2015 is basically useless. How do the guys at Adobe think to create a project without roper preview????
In my opinion, so far has the update to CC2015 become a HUGE downgrade
Hopefully do they get this fixed very soon!!!

Same boat here. Just upgraded, and RAM previews are gone, replaced with something called “Live Preview”. Its about 10 times slower. Just trying to playback 1 HD stream goes at like 2-3 frames a second……
The drop of the render preview as well, is a ridiculous idea, I used to like seeing what was rendering so I could see what was creating huge slow downs…
And everyone else says they never used it…. but brainstorm is gone, and I used to like using that feature with fractal noise, tritone and blurs, to see what might be a nice starting point for a background plate. Totally bummed that feature is gone too. I mean, why get rid of it…… that done all the hard work of writing it. Could of at least just moved it to a menu item, if they wanted to move it off the workspace….

They plan to bring that functionality in an update to CC 2015. Remember, CC 2015 is a MAJOR rewrite of the core code that makes AE run. They’re going one step at a time.
They talk about things not present in CC 2015 and a bit about the future in this blog post: https://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2015/06/features-not-available-in-after-effects-cc-2015-13-5.html[Craig Ricker] “And everyone else says they never used it…. but brainstorm is gone, and I used to like using that feature…”
You can still use it, simply open your project in CC 2014, use Brainstorm to get what you want, save it, then open the project again in CC 2015.

It’s not that simple. The core of AE is being rewritten and Brainstorm wasn’t compatible with the new framework. It seems like it wasn’t used enough for them to spend the time to rewrite it to work in the new system.
