After Effects Crashes when using dynamically linked files

When I try to edit a dynamically linked after effects, After Effects crashes, which then crashes Premiere Pro. I have CS5.5 master. Is this a problem with the after effects file (only 8kb in size) or something wrong with After Effects. The files come up as being linked in Premiere Pro but when I open the After Effects file to do further editing, it just crashes.

You told us zero about your system and your project settings on bothe ends, so this is not going anywhere. Such crashes can have any number of reasons from running out of memory to graphics card issues but we truly cannot know.

  • Adobe Encore CS6 crashes when using dynamic link

    I'm trying to use encore for the first time to create a wedding DVD. I'm trying to use the dynamic link feature from premiere pro but whenever I use it (I've tried intiating it from both premiere and encore) it crashes. When starting it from premiere it crashes right away but using it from encore it crashes when I want to create a new timeline from the sequence. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Also I don't really want to have to render the premiere pro file since it's quite large but if I have to I will. Thank you

    I filmed it from a HD camera.
    I tried to dynamic link a much shorter clip but yet the same thing happened from both programs. I even tried to make a timeline from in Encore with nothing in it and it crashed.
    EDIT: I redownloaded premiere pro with encore and it seems to work now. Thank you for all your help though. Much appreciated.

    CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time.  Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working.  I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's.  Is there a way around this?  Is there a patch to correct it?

    To build CD's???
    What problem does Encore have with DL?
    If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

  • After Effects Error: Unknown Adobe Dynamic Link Exception

    I am using latest CS4 PP / OctoCore / 16 GB RAM / OS 10.5.6
    I am not even using any Dynamic link references - just working within AE CS4 in a 1280 x 720 comp and every 10 minutes I get this error:
    "After Effects Error: Unknown Adobe Dynamic Link Exception"
    Is there a way to disable Dynamic Link in AE CS4 (turn it on and off)? I am not using it therefore do not need it. Anyone know the cause of this error?
    Peace.
    Joey

    Hello, I can confirm Mylenium's point on MP. I checked multiple times with MP on and off. Then I started to check and uncheck the dll space checkbox in combination with MP. Allways the same result: MP lead to the error message when I did a RAM preview. I then removed all scripts from the "scripts" and the "sriptsUI" folders (I have Zorro and the like, too). Same difference. MP was the only factor that had influence on my machine.
    I am using a Vista 64bit Quad at home where I tried this. At work I am on a 8core MacPro, with MacOSX 10.5.8. There I did not experience difficulties with MP.

  • After Effects crashes when rendering to H264

    Hi,
    On one of my computers, After Effects Crashes when rendering to H264. It always chrashes when doing the last frame of a clip. I think its when muxxing the m4a and the m4v together...
    Does anyone have a solution? maybe there is some odd codec trash going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    10.Rick Gerard,

    Report
    In every version of AE that has been capable of exporting h.264 the quality has been significantly lower than exporting with an app that gives you the option of multi-pass rendering. This has always been true for MPEG codecs that use inter frame (temporal) compression. You just can't get the same quality without multi pass compression. This goes back to the first use of MPEG streams.
    AE CS6 may have H.264 encoding broken internally, but any pro has never used AE to render highly compressed delivery codecs because AE was never designed to be the right tool for the job.

  • How to keep files from disappearing when using Dynamic link to AE from PremProCS4?

    I am at my wits end here and hope someone can offer a solution.  I use Dynamic Link in PremProCS4 to link a clip in my timeline to AfterEffects.  I follow the instructions in my book and everytime I close my files and reopen..I loose the clip along with the effects...I get the place card instead.  Here are the steps I do as per the Adobe Classroom in a Book Explains:
    I double click on my .MTS file in the Project Board so it comes up on my Source Screen.
    I take select the part of the clip I wish to use in my timeline and drag it to the appropriate spot on a video layer.
    I then right click the "clip" and select "Replace With After Effects Comp"
    I then name the new file.  name or whatever.aep
    It opens in AE
    I then apply two simple effects... keying and a cartooning effect I use from NewBlue Cartooner.
    As instructed I then go directly back to PremPro and do a "render" by pressing the Enter Key.  This does not work since I only get a yellow bar above the clip instead of a red on???
    So then I save the PremPro project and close it then go to the AE project, save and close it.
    When I reopen PremPro the file has a place card in it and in AE it says I am missing a file.
    I have tried many different ways to do this process including re-importing the .MTS file.
    I can close PremPro and reopen it and all is the same as long as I don't close the AfterEffects project.  Once AE is closed it looses the file.  On a note here I keep all my computer source files in the same place and it never changes plus they are in my PPro Project as well.  I never change the names so this isn't this reason.
    Is there a tried and true method to select a piece of clip in the video layer in Prem Pro and add effects from AE and not have it misplace the files?
    Thanks  Kate

    Hi Mylenium, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
    Your idea of renaming comps got me to thinking..hmm.
    So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
    So far I figured it out... 
    Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
    In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
    Rename it and save
    R click and "Replace with AE composition"
    Name new file
    You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
    The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
    Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
    The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
    The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
    Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
    Now you can save and close the AE project.
    So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
    Thanks.

    Its odd how I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time and I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference..darn.

  • After Effects Crashes when trying to replace footage

    I recently got a new PC and the new computer has drive letters assigned to removeable drives that used to point to where my files were stored.  When I try to replace the footage, After Effects crashes and does not give me any option to send a crash report.  I updated to 10.0.1.19 and updated my video card driver (which fixed a problem with OpenGL not registering), but it did not solve my issue.  I can include the crash details here:
    Problem signature:

    I can also offer the following information:

    Intel Core i7 860
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB (latest driver installed)
    1 TB Hard Drive
    8GB DDR3 Memory
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thanks for the insight.  "Performance of the external drives" was pretty close, I think.
    I believe it was due to the fact that when I created the project, the files were located on an external drive "F".  My new system designated drive "F" as one of the built-in card reader slots.  AE did not want to replace the source from the card reader unless 1) there was a card in the slot and 2) the original file (or one with the same name at least) was on the card. I wasn't about to go through all that heartache and discontent (I was missing about 30 files, and the 1GB card was nowhere close to big enough to hold the 9GB of data), so I used the Disk Management utility to reassign the drive letters.  Luckily I have a couple of external drives - one to assign to the source "F" drive and another to be the new target "M".  There was some creative shuffling that had to happen to get the connections right, but it made AE happy.

  • Warp Stabilizer error when using dynamic link

    Hey guys,
    So I'm very new to video editing, and not surprisingly, I'm running into problems.  I'm trying to use dynamic link to allow me to Warp Stabilize and color correct video clips in a Premiere Pro project.  When I try to apply the Warp Stabilizer (through dynamic link) in After Effects, I get this error message:
    After Effects error: Stabilization analysis doesn't work with Collapse Transformations (514)
    (25 :: 101)
    I read the only other thread on this which linked to the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS064964FC-424C-4e5a-A5C3-2160B3DFBCA4a.html
    Unfortunately, that didn't help me much.  Maybe the answer is in there somewhere, but if so, its way over my head.  Can anyone give me a simple explanation of why this doesn't work?  I feel like it should be a simple solution so I don't have to go through the process of importing into AE, render, export, import to Premeire Pro, and replace the clip there, blah blah.  This is what dynamic link is for, right??  Thanks for any advice you guys have!

    Not sure I properly understand you...
    As for me, the solution is in AE warning message - just disable Collapse Transformations switch in your AE precomp...

  • After Effects crashes when opening

    When I try to open After Effects I get a window with this message

  • After Effects crash when calling ProjSuite5()- AEGP_OpenProjectFromPath

    I'm running 12.2

  • Safari: how to autofill filename when using 'download linked file as' option

    I usually need to download email attachment to specific folders, not to the downloads folder. When I use "download linked file as" I get the option to choose the location, which is great, but the filename is '0'. I don't want to have to cut and paste the filename every time - why doesn't Safari grab the filename automatically, as it does when you just click download? Is there a way around this? It's a big workflow issue for me, and the reason I switched to Chrome previously .. surely there's a fix for this basic function though?
    I'm downloading from Gmail running in my browser.
    Safari: Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)
    Mac OS X 10.9.5

    You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply.  :)
    Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Encore CS4 freezes when using dynamic link and blu-ray settings

    I am using dynamic link to send a Premiere project to Encor using blu-ray for video and dolby digital for audio.  The project gets loaded correctly.  When I go to the build tab, I see the format is DVD.  I can create a project using DVD as the format output to a DVD folder.  When I select blu-ray as the format, Encore freezes.  I want to save everything as blu-ray format so that if and when I get a blu-ray burner, I can just burn the folder layout to blu-ray disc.  Is there a fix for this so that I can select blu-ray as the format?

    Worked for me!
    Thanks for the updates.

  • After Effects crashes when opening project

    Hey guys.
    I was working on a project just fine until when I went to open it this morning. When I open it, AE crashes with either this message:
    OR this message:
    and finally ends with a message like this:
    There are no special plugins being utilized in the project I am working in, only several Illustrator files. I'm not sure how dynamic link has anything to do with this because i'm not using it with Premiere Pro. All I know is that the project worked fine when I closed it last night, and now this is happening. It's a paid job as well, so it's very important that I can open it again.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS6 and my video card drivers. Just to be clear, AE opens just fine, it's only opening this specific project that gives the crash.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate (updated)
    Core i7 3770k
    GeForce GTX 570 1.2 gb

    Thanks guys. I hope you can help me out.

    Not the Adobe team, but the errors are all listed here:
    http://www.myleniumerrors.com
    Doesn't do you much good, though. The errors themselves are too vague and generic. Other than that try the usual - flush the media and disk cache, open the proejct with capslock enabled, import it into an empty project. also offline your footage source by renaming/ moving the folder, then manually use File --> Replace. If it's a specific file, that way you can find out which one... And finally, in the future learn the fine art of making back-ups and using versioning:
