CC 2015 Previews Not Real Time
-
Can you tell me if there is a setting that can disable the auto update in the view port? I don’t need to see the video pre-rendering. I just want to hit “0” and see the bar in the timeline grow and hit “0” again to watch it. But the audio updating with the video is highly annoying. Also where can I re-download AE CC 2014?

I made the mistake of starting a new project in AE 2015. Encountered the unbelievably slow user interface and eventually decided to go back to 2014 and start over. I’m not sure I can use a product that won’t allow me to try various looks, approaches and techniques if I have to wait :30 secs to see a single frame of the results. Same thing happens just moving along the timeline. It seems as AE moves forward I have to stay behind to get my work done.

You don’t need to start over. CC 2014 opens files created in CC 2015

The pre-render is abysmal in AE 2015. Sometimes I will hit pre-render, wait a while and hit it again and it won’t play what’s already been buffered. So I have to do it again and only then will it play. It’s absolutely terrible what they’ve done to AE. I simply won’t use it. I get the fact that there are new features with this version of AE but they messed with things that didn’t need fixing.

Agreed! Ram preview worked perfectly every time in old versions. I never had to wonder if maybe this time I’d get to see a preview uninterrupted and real time. Even with the bug fix update 13.51.48 I’m still experiencing terrible previews, no matter how many times I play the same green spot on the timeline, or how absolutely still I am not to even move the mouse for fear it will have to think about anything but the preview, nothing is ever real time and I can’t confidently gauge my work – heck, I can’t even stop it to the beat of audio to make adjustments at an appropriate time because start and stop are delayed. Honestly. Worst mistake ever in this software.

[Ethron Young] ” Worst mistake ever in this software.”
I would argue that it’s not a mistake, but that it’s just some stumbling first steps. Maybe CC 2015 shouldn’t be seen as an update to AE as much as a public beta where they’re beginning to implement some new behavior. In this case, the renderer and UI are running separately from one another. For many people (me included), the new previewing system works pretty well and I prefer to work with it. It’s much snappier!
For other folks though, it doesn’t work well.
Now, there’s going to be an update this autumn that is meant to fix a ton of bugs and I would be willing to bet that it will make CC 2015 useable for many folks who can’t use it now.In the meantime, if it doesn’t work for you, use CC 2014 or CC. (Or, heck, CS6 if you need to!) Creative Cloud gives you access to all the old versions if you need to hop back to get your work done.

As I have been trolling this subject for months I just discovered and have been using Throttle-n-Purge & BG Renderer scripts and I can see a huge difference in performance and on my multicore usage in 32-Bit full preview, not realtime but 24/29.9fps. It was the performance I have been waiting for with the new mac pro.

Just getting started with CC 2015, but I agree. I’m really encouraged by the fact that I can begin a preview render and see results quickly, while it renders the back end of the work area selection as it plays.
The audio stutters and spits sometimes, but the end result is that I get MUCH faster feedback

that is not an acceptable answer. “after effects is not designed for real time” is ridiculous. i’ve been using after effects for years and years, and the “RAM” preview function has always been able to handle real-time playback (maybe with some long renders and setting tweaks). the new 2015 updates SUCK, and adobe should be ashamed for releasing such crap software. on a system that is built to fly, i’ve been ram previewing just fine, not all of a sudden i’m getting about 18fps from a 24fps timeline. this is not hardware related, and it’s not project file related, it’s adobe, they broke their software.
now you can’t choose to ram preview and skip frames, at alt resolutions, etc. why would adobe dumb down a tool that was working well? i want my money back. this really pisses me off.
