I was trying to PREVIEW via spacebar in wireframe mode… because AE doesn’t have wireframe RAM previews anymore. (They dropped the feature in CS6 according to the Adobe manual.) I didn’t want to wait all day for RAM previews. Even at 6fps in quarter res mode, it can take a good 5 minutes or so to preview just a few seconds. That’s with particular disabled. I guess I underestimated the computational density of wireframes…
I had a decent number of Element 3D objects in the scene that, when I unchecked them, sped up the wireframe fps. However, I don’t understand why AE doesn’t render in realtime, with frame dropping. Instead, it just plays back as slow as it needs to, which makes it impossible for me to interpret camera movement speeds. I’m on a tight time budget.

Well I’m on a pretty beefy machine… i7@5Ghz, 32GB, Quadro Cards, 5 SSDs, 5 HDs, lots of power… so I figured that wireframes should run smoothly even at that count. Usually it does, but it’s been having issues at times depending on some unknown factor that comes and goes. That particular scene has already successful been to the render farm and back (the camera work was totally based on theory), but I’m sure I’ll run into this problem again. I’m producing virtual choirs, so the video count is pretty high.
Why would I be having problems viewing wireframes in realtime, even in just PREVIEW mode? (Although hearing the audio at the same time would be much more helpful.)

I’m talking about pre-rendering wireframe with audio, not regular wireframe mode. I get really slow previews in regular wireframe mode.

Thanks! I’ll give this a try in the morning! Or maybe even right now… 🙂

Hey I’m having this problem right now and can’t seem to get the options to become available, even after reseting the layer. Base form is Box-Grid.

I realize this is an old post, but I just wanted to help anyone who might be viewing this thread now.
Select the multiple clips you want to change [in the bin] by holding down the shift key.
Right click and select “Make Offline”. Tell it the files still exist (unless the don’t).
They will go offline. Highlight them all again and select “Link Media”. It will ask you to locate one file in the folder and will find the rest for you. Bata-bing. Bata-boom! Time saved!
