After Effects 3-D Movement Help?

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/aftereffectshelp.png/
Basically, I've created some text and made it 3-D layer on After effects. Im trying to get the text to pan across the screen, but as you can see by the red line showing the movement, it is curved, whereas I want it straight, is there any way to do this? Thank you

Select all your keyframes in the Timeline then press the G key to bring up the pen tool. When you mouse over any one of the keyframes you'll see the convert Vertex tool (a sideways V). Click and bingo, all the curves and bezier handles in your motion path are converted to straight lines.

After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)

Hi all,
I'm new to after effects. I have just started receiving the following error every time I try to render my movie:
"After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)".
Yesterday morning, I was able to render movies, however, after I did Apple's latest update I've started receiving the following error. What is happening is that I'm trying to render a movie. It gets to a certain point in the movie (about 0;00;16;09) and then this error pops up. This morning I've tried to repair the permissions with disk utility, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I've searched Google and the Adobe support forums with no luck. Please help.
Thanks in advance for you help,
William

Have been able to downgrade to QT 7.3 using Pacifist. Did NOT require re-install of OS.

Now that I am back to QT7.3, iTunes7.6 is now asking me to update QT to 7.4 in order to be able to view the new movie rental feature of the iTunes store... which sorta sheds some light on the no permission error. Now that iTunes is renting, not just selling, movies, QT is now all fussy about ownership and permissions. Just a guess.

After Effects error: creating movie - bad parameter (-50) (44::36)

Hello,
When I am trying to render a composition to Mov. file with the following preferances:
FULL HD 1920X1080 (interlaced)
Lossless (Animation)
I get this error message:
"After Effects error: creating movie - bad parameter (-50) (44::36)"
Would anyone happen to know know what might be th problem?
Thank you
Giannis

Thank you very much! I think I found the solution. I wasn't
putting any keyframes. With Animation codec, you
have to set keyframes every fev frames..

After Effects Rendering Problem (Please Help!)

Hello, I recently purchased adobe after effects CS6 for my Asus i7 laptop running windows 8 OS with a nvidia graphics card. I had just finished my after effects project and I went to render it out. I chose all my settings as H.264 and best settings. I click render and it starts off fast and rendering fine. About half way through the render it stops adruptly but does not signify any error message on the screen. The software shows that it is still trying to render but the render load bar does not move neither does the time lapse (time remaining).
If you have any idea what the problem may be or how to fix it please post a comment.
Thank You!

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
> Renders stopping halfway through has usually nothing to do with the output format, so for the time being let's ignore the theoretical hubub about H.264
If the format being used is H.264 in a QuickTime container, this can be a problem, since that codec does have problems with the use of many threads, and these problems often occur partway through processing. There is more information about this here.

After Effects CS6 Screen Fluttering HELP ME!!!!

Hello Everyone,
Ok so I have seen a few threads about this with CS5.5 but nothing with CS6. First here is my coomputer set up.
AMD FX6100 3.3 chip
Quadro 2000
8 gig of ram
MSI 870 motherboard
Creative cloud suite cs6 with newest updates
So here is the issue I had a GTX 550ti card worked great until it burnt up during a long render had to replace it. Got a GTX 650 and my issue started. I was getting sudden screen fluttering and not responsive messages. This would happen no matter what I was doing. Found out the card was not certified and Adbose told me this was the issue. I then returned that card got a 560 SC card again same issue this time worse. Once again told by adobe it was a card issue. So again returned the card.
This time I had already now made 4 trips back and fourtht o the store. Sorry I almost forgot I even updated my power supply to a 750 watt bronze because Adobe told me maybe i didnt have enough power to drive my video card.
Ok so now I bought the Quadro 2000 card. So this card is supposed to work flawless make things run great. Well guess still having the exact same issue. I have reinstalled after effects three times. I have done clean installs of the video cards and now Adobe support is telling me to get the card checked yet again?????? I bought the card two days ago been through three card including the mothboard graphics.
I dont care how great Adobe products are there is now way every card I am trying is bad and the software is great. There has to be a setting i am missing or something. Does anyone know a answer to this?????
Help Me Please!!!

Yes I get screen flashing flickering. During this process I get not responding Error. Basically I open after effects. WHen I move the mouse anyplace inside of after effects it happens. I hit new it freezes, I scrub and it goes crazy to the point I have to CTRL-Alt-DEL just to get my computer back. Sometimes it causes my windows crash and have to be restarted. This whole thing started right after I burnt up my 550TI. I did a 4 hour render got a error 16 on my card call EVGA they told me it was fried. I replaced it first with a GTX 650 and that is when all of this started. Since then I replaced the 650 with a 560 sc then a 570 and now I have a quadro 2000 not one of these cards stopped the issue. The only cards i know that are certified were the 550ti the 570 and the quadro I have now.
I have installed the latest drivers I even had Adobe log in three times into my machine and each time they told me they would look itno the issue and call me back. So now here I am 3 months later have yet to get one phone call back and everytime I call in or do the live chat i get told to replace the card.
SO my question is simple its not the cards because 5 cards could not all go bad in a row.
The only information I am finding on the web is that open gl needs to be turned off. CS^ you cannot do that.
I have reset after effects back to default settings and turned off all GP rendering as well as interleaving and cache. Still having the same issue.
If I plug my monitor into my onboard card all issues stop. So I have figured out it has to do with having the monitor hooked up to the graphics cards.
The other thing I have tried to do just to verify my PCIe isnt bad is I borrowed a 550ti from a friend and again worked fine. Now when I hooked up my orginal 550ti I did not change a single setting on my after effects.
When I got the 650 I ran the hack for the GPU and changed some of the settings until I found out that no one was able to use the 650 card. Then I got the 560 and I wiped out after effects reinstalled fresh did not change any settings and same issue presented.
I then got the 570 and a 750 watt psu figured ok this is certified should work. Again no luck. I returned that card got the quadro 2000 same issue.
I do not know if when I installed the new AE if it kept the hack and that is causing the issue or not.

After Effects Project with MOV. (RLE) files keep freezing system

Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Intell i7 processor
AMD FirePro V7900
32 GIG DDR5 RAM
After Effects CS6 runs perfectly smooth unless there are MOV.s with Animation Codec (RLE) present in a composition.
The project will open up, it will display what looks like a corrupted version of the MOV. file (files are not corrupted) in the comp.
I can generally navigate for about 30 seconds, then it completely freezes up. Eventualy it will automatically shut down After Effects, but my computer will continue to freeze up and eventually force resets itself.
I have emoved all 3rd party plugins, reinstalled Quicktime and AfterEffects and still the problem persists.
I updated my graphics card driver
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/Pages/firepro_win8-64.aspx
Please Help! I work daily from home with projects like these and I'm completely stuck still. I'm kind freeking out, especially sense I just bought this new computer.

After effects crashing unpredictable, please help if you can?

Only be happening for a week or so. seems to be related to blurs in adjustment layers. ill be using blurs to spot blur certain anatomy for a tv show. sometimes I track and blur with mocha sometimes manual track. ill be adjusting a track or a mask and ill get one of several unusual chrashes/errors. usually, its this: <6896> <BEEp_InitSoundPB> <0> Vid rate ratios min, max: 1, 1. . If I reload the project and delete and rebuild the adjusment layer blurs (Box blur and mosaic) and it will render fine. but this happens enough to be a considerable time waster and is interferring with my work. I've looked up the errors online and tried any suggestions i could find (although it seems this error appears for many differ3ent reasons?). I've deleted media cache, changed cache drives, reinstalled video card drivers deleted preferences, turned off open GL, run diagnostics on my CPU. RAM and GPU, all turned up fine. The only thing I havent tried is uninstalling and reinstalling AFX which i want to leave for a last resort as I have no time! Also, I have CC and CC14 installed (just use cs6 more often because of plugins) and when I load the project into CC and scrub or render I get the same problem, again until I delete and rebuild Adjustment layer. I even collected and moved the project onto a mac laptop and it gets the same error!!

I apologize if I'm not using the correct terminology, I did in fact teach myself after effects, if that's what you mean. I've been using it for about 14-15 years, but I have found like many of the programs I use, Ill never learn all there is to know, and I would definitely defer to your judgement Dave as I have a great deal of respect for your experience and AE knowledge, having read many of your helpful posts in the past. (thank you, you've helped me before, and did not know it)
This is the first time I've encountered this particular error. Let me see if I can describe it better. The show I work for often requires me to blur out certain objects or anatomical parts for approval by standards and practices. Usually my workflow is to either manually, or with mocha AE track the offending area with a mask applied to an adjustment layer that has a box blur and a mosiac filter applied to it. The problem arose last week when I went back to a project created the week prior to add more blur to an existing comp. I started to adjust the blur and while scrubbing through timeline after effects crashed, giving me the following error <19665> AE.blitpipe <2> making new context. (or a variation of that, unfortunately, I didn't write down the initial error as at first I thought it was just an annomoly). When I reloaded the project I kept getting the same crash/error until I removed the adjustment layer and re tracked and blurred. I tried the same comp on a mac laptop and it got the error as well. I managed to get the render out in time and continued to work in after effects problem free until another blur project arose. this project had 10 shots. I followed my usual workflow and had finished all 10 comps and as going back through to tweak some masks when the error occurred on comp 4. same problem. also it seems as though whenever i reach the same frame range in the timeline is when it crashes, and its not always on the same frame, just in the same general area on the timeline. this happens sometimes during scrubbing, but always during render or RAM preview. I can open the original project where the error occurred and still get the same error in the same area along the timeline. Honestly, Im wondering if I have a corrupted DLL and just need to reinstall after Effects., but the question remains, if that IS the case, why would the same project give me the same errors in each version of after effects I own? (CS6, CC & CC2014) This is why I say corrupted project... not sure what else to call it?
And Ive gotten a variety of error messages during crash, I've gotten the :<19665> AE.blitpipe <2> making new context as well as <6896> <BEEp_InitSoundPB> <0> Vid rate ratios min, max: 1, 1. and <271636><DynamicLink> <5> c:/programfiles\adobe\adobe premiere...
also different faulted modules when I click on details, sometimes ADM.dll sometimes wintab32.dll.. not consistent at all. This doesn't happen evertime I apply a blur layer, its just seemed to occur when time was most precious and I really needed to get renders out! haha, well thats what it feels like anyway. my wor around is now to immediately delete the problem adjustment layer, retrack and blur, but I'm hoping to find an answer for this irritating puzzle. I hate not understanding why this is happening.
I appreciate the help on this. I will probably reinstall after effects or perhaps even windows once I find the time, but time is hard to come by.

Phantom hairline showing up in shape, transfers to After Effects, doesn't move on art board

Hi,
First time posting here so hope I'm following protocol. We're having an issue at my office with Illustrator (5.1) and After Effects. This just started happening this week.
For some reason, when a file is created in Illustrator and you zoom in extremely clost on a shape, a thinner-than-hairline line appears on it. This has showed up as both a vertical and horizontal. When you zoom in or out, the line disappears, but it also appears in After Effects. It doesn't seem to be part of the shape or a fragmented shape because if you move the shape, the line stay stationary.
Anyone seen anything like this? The video editor and I have NO idea and we've been trying to figure it out for a few days now. Also, the issue isn't in just one file; it has happened in two separate project files now.
Thanks!
Christi

This is an issue with current PDF libraries used by Adobe apps. For some reason content gets tiled, even if it doesn't actually require flattening. Same issue occurs when rasterizing the files in PS. Anyway, with regards to AE the sane advise would be to safe back to CS3 no matter what, because there are bugs in its handling of newer AI formats... This potentially also avoids your issue...

How to fix rough edges text in After Effects cs4? Please help.

How to fix this? rough edges in text.
in the first, it's not like this but the next i open after effects cs4, it goes like that.

Hi there mato31,
Hopefully this will help — if that screenshot is your comp window at 50%, then I would hazard a guess that the resolution quality of your comp window was set down to half or quarter quality (this would be my first guess in this instance, worth a try?). If you look across the bottom of the comp window next to the RGB channels icon, the drop-down menu for the comp window resolution is there. Does yours say perhaps Quarter or Third? Just a guess... Usually one would work at Full, but I usually leave it set to Auto so when a comp is viewed at 50%, it automatically changes the quality to 50% which leaves smooth edges (a comp viewed at 50% zoom factor, with full resolution, looks jagged also).
Anyway, just a first thought. Let me know if that helps at all?

Cs4 after effects keeps crashing. need help for church.

We have had cs4 after effects running successfully for 2 years now. Recently our designer downloaded a project as a quick fix. He has been aunable to open after effects. no error code just says not responding. I can access preferences to disable anything tried to isolate GL didnt make a difference. Trying to avoid purcahsing new verison. Can a viurs get into one Adobe program?

Before you think about getting a new version of After Effects, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the program? Also, some more information about the project your designer downloaded might be useful. Otherwise we need to know a lot more to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
