Customize After Effects Shortcuts

For customizing AE shortcuts search for “Adobe After Effects 13.5 Win en_US Shortcuts.txt”

EG: Replace TrimIn and TrimOut shortcuts (since my keyboard doesn’t support brackets)

“TimeTrimIn” = “(Shift+Alt+A)”
“TimeTrimOut” = “(Shift+Alt+S)”

Instead of Shift+[ and Shift + ]

Adobe CC Premiere, After Effects Slow Start

0

When Premiere or after effects is not able to start, or slow startup, reporting “Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules”.

The solution is this:

  1. Restart the computer
  2. Remove and send to the bin the “dynamiclinkmanager.exe” from the application folder (don’t flush the bin)
  3. Start the application (AE-Premiere)
  4. When its loading, restore the “dynamiclinkmanager.exe”
  5. Wait for it to load
  6. Shut it down
  7. Restart
  8. Should start correctly without any lag

Second option is to do the same steps but on STEP 4 skip the restoring of the “dynamiclinkmanager.exe”, wait for it to load completely, shut it down and then restore the “dynamiclinkmanager.exe”

Image Sequence Scanner – Find missing frames on a sequence

0

A great tool to find out missing frames on any sequence and pointing out which ones are missing.

Specially great to fix the AE “missing n frames” warning during after effects compositing.

AE CC 2014 SLOW MERCURY TRANSMIT FIX – NVIDIA GTX 1070

Cómo reparar el slow playback en el RAM PREVIEW cuando se tiene activado el MERCURY TRANSMIT y usamos tarjeta NVIDIA SERIE 10 (1070 1080…)

After effects por default tiene una versión vieja del Optix1.dll que no soporta a las GTX 1070 así que tenemos que descargar una versión nueva y reemplazarla en el root.

  1. Necesitamos agregar una línea en el archivo “raytracer_supported_cards.txt” localizado en el root del AE CC 2014.
GeForce GTX 780
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX TITAN

2. Descargar el Optix1.dll actualizado de nvidia (cualquier versión de las 3.9.1 o 3.9.2 funciona con AE 2014, sin embargo puede que 2015+ funcionen con nuevas versiones de Optix. Ae 2014 no funciona con otra que nos ea 3.9.1 o 3.9.2) o descargarlo de aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4rQgXRJWadcRjZiZlUxa19fQjA/view
Password del rar: idmee

3. Reemplazar el Optix1.dll por el que descargamos.

4. Abrir After Effects nuevamente y en preferencias/preview seleccionar GPU.

5. Ahora el Mercury Transmit en el playback será en tiempo real.

SETUP FOR 5.1 PLAYBACK IN MPC WITH YOUR UR28M

  1. Install MultiChannelASIORendererSetup2.00 (http://blog.familie-buchberger.at/2015/12/15/multichannel-directshow-asio-renderer
    1. Or here: https://www.videohelp.com/download/MultiChannelASIORendererSetup2.00.exe
    2. Newer paid versions are here: https://www.videohelp.com/software/Multichannel-ASIO-DirectShow-Renderer/old-versions
  2. Open MPC and within OPTIONS go to PLAYBACK/OUTPUT/AUDIO RENDERER (“MultiChannel Asio Renderer filter)
  3. Play your 5.1 video and right click on it to select  FILTERS/MultiChannel Audio
  4. At the Channel Mapping, select the proper channel configuration on each output. (I’ve included a custom setup for the 6 channels of the UR28M here: https://cocoalopez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MPC_ASIO_MULTICHANNEL_UR28M.cmp
  5. Save your profile and enjoy your 5.1 content.

 

ALTERNATIVE WORKAROUND ON VLC without multichannel ASIO:

HOW TO PLAY 5.1 VIDEOS ON UR28M and VLC

  1. Install ASIO4ALL: ASIO4ALL driver
  2. Install ASIO LINKPRO: ASIO Link Pro Tool and patches. As I understand, ASIO Link Pro is abandonware and there has been no opposition to patching it. Without the patches, you’ll experience audio dropouts and issues with ASIO4ALL.
  3. Start Asio Link Pro and select START ASIO
  4. Once the window is open, open VLC and play a 5.1 video
  5. Select on Audio Device The first 01 ASIOVADPRO Speakers “Speakers 01 (ASIOVADPRO Driver)
  6. On the Asio Link Pro Panel Link the channels (1 to 6) from
    ASIOVADPRO SPEAKERS IN to ASIODRIVER OUT MIX in the same order
  7. You’ll see the audio playing on each speaker.
  8. Make sure to click on PICK DRIVER and select “Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO”

6.

UPDATE 2024/11
You no longer need VLC, MPC BE will handle the output automatically once you install the ASIO4ALL

Bring back the old Selection Window 3DSMAX 2013+

I personally hate the selection window on MAX 2013+ versions, therefore did a bit of research on how to bring back my loved H shortcut selection window as in 3dsmax 2009

Here’s what you have to do:

  1. Get a tool like “Everything (http://www.voidtools.com/)” to search within your hard drive or use the windows search to find all the instances of this file: “CurrentDefaults.ini”
  2. Open them on a text editor like Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org)
  3. Use the Search and replace function and replace this line on all the files:
    [Scene Explorer]
    SelectByNameUsesSceneExplorer=1

    for this one

    [Scene Explorer]
    SelectByNameUsesSceneExplorer=0
  4. Make sure you replaced the ones in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2015 – 64bit\ENU\en-US\defaults\MAX folder
  5. Iniciar MAX
