Err… I’m seeing that too. Sorry for the noise. My guess is that I have been hitting escape before switching.

I do not see previewing in the background mentioned there.

Thanks. Locking layers when not changing them seems like a good idea.

I don’t know if anyone will ever see this post because replying doesn’t bump the thread, it appears.
Ah! If I view by topic, updated by date, posts appear sorted by date, even if they are replies to threads that are old but not dead yet. I imagine almost noone does that though…
Matching 1 timeline to 1 composition viewers works for me if I use the keystroke mentioned in help
https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/workspaces-panels-viewers.html
To lock the current viewer, split the current frame, and create a new viewer of the same type in the new frame, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+N (Mac OS).
Using the lock icon doesn’t prevent the viewer from changing, for me.
Uggh. It just opened footage in the locked viewer.
At least 1 time, it appears to work, enough for me to setup to use 2 timelines and compare videos.

Kronos using the GPU seems to apply the speed change effect faster than with the CPU. Purging the image cache each time, 2 seconds of reverse-forward-reverse-forward took 2 minutes to buffer while previewing using the CPU and 30 seconds using GTX 570.
Maybe I need to do more than purge the image cache to test. But, it seems significantly faster using the GPU, for the semi-interactive activity that it is painful right now. I wonder how much faster it can be using a faster GPU.
If the speed up could result in no perceptible delay that would make a huge difference for me.

Urff. Well, right now I am heavily using timewarp and the graph editor. It seems pretty difficult to do something similar in premiere. So, exactly the thing that I want hardware acceleration for doesn’t appear to be improved much by GPU acceleration.
Hmm. Kronos might be a solution (cuda accelerated timewarp-like thing). I’ll check it out

Ok. So, hardware acceleration of panels means hardware accelerated opengl and not cuda?
Initially I was using premiere and replace with after effects composition, but I kept finding the clip to be blank after closing and reopening after effects and premiere, so I have been doing editing sort of work in AE.
It looks like I should try to do as much as possible in premiere.
Incidentally, I don’t have the opengl information panel that I see in your video (the one in after effects). I am using AE CC. I just have a section saying which version of opengl API is being used. Is that information somewhere else, about what is using opengl?

In AE, does render speed apply to viewer panel rendering speed?
The main reason I would want better performance is to reduce delays in rendering while deciding on the value of properties for layers. For example, moving keyframes around, adjusting easing and so on.
I know you that you can adjust rendering quality. I mean delay assuming appropriate changing of rendering quality during different stages of work.
If there were no perceptible delay, I would make many more changes before rendering. Because of the delay, I consider whether or not to bother trying some things and whether or not it is worth waiting for.

Thanks. I just glanced at it (the ben wagonner compression book) on safari books and it looks very good.

If I start wanting to move the image it could be that I would want to have the arrow key shortcuts for that.
