anyone know of any fixes on their way for this? or how far back i need to go with versions of after effects to get ram preview to work again?

i’m very very tech savvy, and i don’t believe i’m overlooking something here. ram preview was working, now it’s not, and the only change is adobe’s updates.

Adobe, SHAME ON YOU.

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.

there are politics involved, and i came into this project after the fact. so, without stepping on peoples feet, i need to figure out exactly what to ask. i cannot just call up the online editor because i believe that has already been done and it’s not my place to do so.

UNLESS i can come to the table with a better description of exactly what info i need.

do i need to know what type of film the .dpx file is from?
do i need to simply know the cineon conversion?

what ARE the questions that need to be asked of those receiving the files from us?
