Postby RavageXavier » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:07 am Whenever I try importing avi files into after effects 7 standard, AE issues an error message saying: After Effects error:retrieving frame from video stream. (3) https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/877241 (53::34). Is there a way to successfully import the files into AE without converting them?. I mean converting is too much of a hassle, and the output isnt what you hoped for. I'm hoping there is a way to solve this problem. The avi files are Xvid, or so Gspot says. Also I have installed K-lite codec pak's ffdshow.

I tryed xvid official decoder but it only made things worse... but when I tryed ffdshow (it comes with a kinda hidden VFW version for almost all codecs it has) it worked.

Applies to : After Effects CC Memory (RAM) usage in 64-bit After Effects Memory & Multiprocessing preferences Set memory and multiprocessing preferences by choosing Edit > Preferences https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/memory-storage1.html > Memory(Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Memory(Mac OS). As you modify http://www.verycomputer.com/322_9a3fa3906665493c_1.htm settings in the Memory & Multiprocessing dialog box, After Effects dynamically updates helpful text in the dialog box that reports how it will allocate and use memory and CPUs. The RAM Reserved For Other Applications preference is relevant whether or not Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously is selected. The settings in the After Effects after effects Multiprocessing category are relevant only if Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously is selected. Todd Kopriva provides information about optimum memory and processor settings on the Adobe website. RAM Reserved For Other ApplicationsIncrease this value to leave more RAM available for the operating system and for applications other than After Effects and the application with which it shares a memory pool. (See Memory pool shared between After Effects, Premiere after effects error Pro, and Adobe Media Encoder.) If you know that you will be using a specific application along with After Effects, check its system requirements and set this value to at least the minimum amount of RAM required for that application. Because performance is best when adequate memory is left for the operating system, you can’t set this value below a minimum baseline value.
Memory pool shared between After Effects, Premiere Pro, Prelude, Media Encoder, Photoshop, SpeedGrade, and Audition After Effects shares a memory pool with Adobe CC applications. This is indicated in the Memory preferences panel by the icons for each of these applications at the top of the panel. The icons are dimmed for the applications that are not running. A memory balancer prevents swapping of RAM to disk by dynamically managing the memory allocated to each of the applications. Each application registers with the memory balancer with some basic information: minimum memory requirements, maximum memory able to be used, current memory in use, and a priority. The priority has three settings: low, normal, and highest. Highest is currently reserved for After Effects and Premiere Pro, when it is the active application. Normal is fhave what I guess I will say is a very large video wall (not exactly, but its close enough). I currently have 64 videos on the wall, and it's only about half full so far. My main composition currently consists of 210 layers (I managed to move about 100 or so other layers into precomps). When I use a camera that shows the entire scene at once, like the Front camera, a certain section of my project will throw this error: After Effects error: retrieving frame from video stream.

Help! by Valer.. » Sat, 12 Jun 2004 22:37:22 I'm sure that there are people on the list who would like to give you some help, but we need a bit more information. Like... What OS are you working on? What version of After Effects? How much RAM do you have? How have you set your Cache preferences? Are you using OpenGL? What is your composition size? What kind of footage are you working with?
