And don’t forget that Ae now ships with the CINEMA 4D renderer, so you can also do real extrusions of shape layers, cast ray-traced shadows, etc.

September 25, 2018 at 12:34 am in reply to: Workaround for QuickTime Renders in AE CC 2018?

Adobe is dropping QuickTime support via Apple’s QuickTime library, because Apple has deprecated QuickTime on both Windows and macOS. In fact, the old 32-bit QuickTime library/codecs will not run at all on future versions of macOS (which will only run 64-bit applications).

Adobe has written their own support (via their MediaCore media handling framework) for the QuickTime movie format itself, as well as a selection of codecs. As Max notes, Animation is among them — but as you note, Animation codec files can get really big.

If you’re looking for a cross-platform, lightly-compressed, visually-lossless format that enjoys native support in Adobe apps, I’d suggest GoPro CineForm or Avid DNxHD/DNxHR.

Personally, though, for C4D renders, I stick to image sequences. If you’re used to using QuickTime PhotoJPEG, you could consider a JPEG sequence as an alternative.

CC Environment does a lot of this — but it’s very exciting to have a nice, fast renderer that’s responsive to lighting.

September 21, 2018 at 2:30 pm in reply to: Memory setting in AE and Premiere when dynamic link

Memory works in one shared pool among the Adobe digital video applications. If you have 32 GB of RAM and you reserve 8 GB for other programs, these programs will share the remaining 24 GB of memory:

After Effects
Premiere Pro
Prelude
Adobe Media Encoder
Photoshop
SpeedGrade
Audition

The applications will try to balance memory according to what’s the foreground application and what’s in the background, and according to the basic memory requirements of each application.

The icons in the Memory preference panel light up for open memory-sharing applications. I think you have to have matching versions installed for the memory sharing to work (i.e., After Effects CC 2018 will share memory with Premiere Pro CC 2018, but not Premiere Pro CC 2017).

Try resetting your preferences. Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting After Effects. Uninstalling/reinstalling does not remove them!

September 19, 2018 at 7:25 pm in reply to: Particular – path issues – easy one!

Not in front of Ae at the moment, but does it work if you create a new null, promote it to 3D, then Alt+click the position stopwatch and enter an expression like this?

thisComp.layer("Point Light 1").toWorld([0,0,0]);

(Please modify “Point Light 1” to match the name of your light.)

You might be able to refer to it directly for your motion path, or you could convert the expression to keyframes for a direct, dense, point-by-point motion path.

Besides upgrading your GPU, you might consider using a render management system like RenderGarden to take advantage of more of your system resources during final renders:
