Mp4 from After Effects won't play on iPad Air

I have a series of mp4 vids - some are exported from Premiere, others, After Effects - CS6 Win7 x64.
They all play in iTunes, but the vids from AE won't play on the iPad. Even when I sync them the iPad identifies them as unplayable.
Any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks.

There's a million different things that could be wrong with your MP4 settings. You'll need to post all the compression parameters for anyone to assess the problem properly.
The easiest solution, and one which will give you better quality video anyway, is to use Adobe Media Encoder to do your compressions, rather than After Effects. It has iPad presets built right in, too.

QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
Error signature from Windows:
EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load

Audio is missing when I export longer mp4s from After Effects File via AME. Can you help?

I’m using After Effects to colour correct and add some titles to long .mov files. (typically 45 mins to 1.5 hours in length).
I am then rendering out to the Vimeo 720 25 preset (.mp4s with h.264) using AME.
The problem occurs when I try to render out larger compositions (anything over an hour).
I start to get audio issues, such as no audio, glitchy audio or audio that only starts after 40 minutes for example.
The shorter compositions work fine. And RAM previews always work fine.
(I’m using Creative Cloud on an iMac running Mountain Lion.)
Has anybody experienced this bug, or know a way to fix it?
Thanks

Hi,
I tried to reproduce this issue by adding a shape and a table in Publisher, export it as an index.htm file, copy and paste the HTML code which in the <head>
tag and <body> tag only.
It turns out that the original design is gone.
When digging into the HTML code, I found that the HTML code from Publisher might not be compatible with SharePoint page.
For example, a shape which is added in Publisher, the corresponding HTML code would be something like:
<span style='
width:228px;height:231px'><img alt="shape here" width=228 height=231
src="index_files/image296.png" v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"></span>
We can see that, the value “src” attribute of the <img> tag represents a relative path which can’t be found in the existing SharePoint site structure, it means
that the shape will not appear in SharePoint page.
In Publisher:
In SharePoint page:
As a common practice, I would suggest you create a new HTML file using Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer and examine the design in browser during the development,
it would be easier to compose a valid and browser-compatible HTML file.

Rendering MP4 with AME from After Effects is always single-core?

When I render MP4 from After Effects CC 2014.2 (by AME) then rendering always is slow and only single-core, despite that in AE prefs Multiprocessor rendering is set.
Why?

I have made quick test now.
AE's Render Queue: render time 53s - average CPU load about 50% (12 cores, 8 rendering threads at this case) - 8 threads active in Process Explorer
AME Render: 2m08s - average CPU load about 20% (same machine) - 1 thread active in Process Explorer
(please note that this was simple project; at 8active/12total cores this should be 66% or even more total CPUs load, so probably much time was disk I/Os - if only was 50% of total CUP load)
So essential question is:
Is AME CC 2014.2 renders AE projects as set in AE prefs in multiprocessing?
Or maybe there is separate option in AME to turn on multiprocessing on AE's projects?

HT1351 Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

After Effects won't start Media Encoder

I'm trying to render from After Effects through Adobe Media Encoder, but the link will not work. I tried using Ctrl+Alt+M, and I tried opening it from the drop down menu. AE simply won't work with AME.
It worked before I upgraded to CC 2014, and I can still render out of AME through Premiere CC 2014.

Larchuck on another thread suggested this and it helped me as well. He was using windows 8 and I, 7, but it worked
Get Properties on the AME .exe
Under Compatibily Tab I checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and selected windows 8
Hit apply
AME opens.
I went back to the Compatibilty Tab and unchecked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and I also clicked the button above it (Run compatibility troubleshooter)...went through its process and AME is woking again.
Turning it off again didn't work for me though so I'm leaving it on

Color in .mov file from After Effects CS6

Scrren shot of how my animation looks in After Effects CS6 (on the left), vs. how it looks when rendered to a .mov file. (on the right). See how washed-out the colors look?
I am on a Mac, latest software versions and OSX.7.4. The source material is in RGB mode, Color Setting is Adobe RGB 1998, which is my wRGB working space. Color settings are synchronized across the entire suite. In the AE project settings, I see that color management is turned on and we are indeed in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
Possibly export settings, because I do not know thing one about those!
Thanks,

Read this FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?
Then I would suggest trying a different codec. When you send your comp to the Render Queue it says lossless next ot the Output Module Settings, that means that it's using After Effect's defualt lossless settings, which uses a codec called Animation. Animation is an ancient codec that delivers huge files and it isn't used so much in production anymore. If you click on lossless the Output Module Settings screen will come up where you can change the format of your render and you can change the codec by hitting the Format Options button.
I've seen that washed out issue before with the Animation codec and just did some tests. I also played with the Color Management settings using the Animation codec by going to the upper right hand tab in the Output Module Settings menu. That seemed to have no effect on the final look of the render. A quicktime render with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec seems to match the AE screenshot almost identically.
Unfortunately, you can't get the ProRes codecs without having either Final Cut Pro installed or Apple Motion. I think it's possible to buy them from the Apple website. However, there are other lossless codecs you can try such as Uncompressed YUV 10bit or 8bit, but I just did a test and I got a much darker render than the ProRes renders and the screenshot. Judge for yourself what's best...

Importing project from after effects to premiere, plug in effect not available?

Hello all, Im using cs5. When I import a video project to premiere from after effects, i get an error message saying that an effect plugin from after effects is not available in premiere. Specifically the glow effect. I thought that since after effects had the effect that premiere would too. I'm asking for the college i go to as we are not too familiar with this program and we have a sub for the next few weeks, thanks in advanced !

oh sorry, i didnt notice that the post i posted didnt have really any info, the page froze and the page saved my info, i guess i submitted the wrong post. anyways, this whats going on.
I make an after effects cs5 composition which is a .MOV video i took, roughly 1 minute with the glow effect applied to the video. I then import the composition to premiere, premiere then gives me the error that premiere does not have the glow effect and therefore, won't be applied. below is my specs and here is a link to another post of mine that might possibly have something to do with this. after effects cs5 keylight (1.2) crash with dynamic link error?

Blurry comp from After Effects to Premiere

Hello,
I did a simple logo as a 3D object to spin and have some text flash by. I encoded it and imported it to Prem Pro. The problem is the logo and text look blurry when I hit play. Is there a rule of thumb for export settings etc etc. Thanks for the help.

Suggestions -
1. Use Dynamic lik instead of exporting from after effects and then impoting in premiere pro if you have production premium or master collection.
2. If you are exporting for the purpose of importing in another application (premiere pro or Encore) you should chose to export in uncompressed format like uncompressed avi. So that you dont loose quality twicw that is once while export from after effect and then while export from premiere pro.

Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

Hi,
I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
thanks
Paul

Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.
> cause this compressor doesn't like images
What is that based on?
> in several forums I have red that "automatik" inside of encore does often not work properly
This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.

What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

Hi
I am editing a raw time lapse in after effects and also some short video clips I would like to export them from after effects and upload them online afterwards but i get a bit lost in exporting settings and formats and mbps..
What are the best settings to export a video and get best quality(high) in full hd 1080 ? in 4k ? and what would be the best setting to export animations/logo/intro and get best quality ?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for reply !
I used until now quicktime in H264 codec was that OK ?
two more questions :
what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
to play on my PC using windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
Thanks in advance.

HDV from After Effects to FCP - seeking advice...

I'm editing a concert which was shot with 5 cameras in Sony HDV (1080i), and FCP can actually play all 5 cameras in a multiclip synchronized with the canvas! (Dual G5, 1GB RAM) Well, it throws up an "Out Of Memory" red screen now and then, but I just ignore that and keep editing.
Now I'm creating an opening in After Effects set to HDV 1080i, and I'm wondering how to export (actually, MakeMovie) it. I've tried Animation / no compression and HDV / Keyframe every 15 frames. The Animation is about 20 times the file size of the HDV; they both play in FCP RT with some stuttering, they both render in the same amount of time, and they both look identical after rendering.
Can anyone suggest any other ways to export from After Effects so it will play without rendering in FCP?
I have a haunting feeling that if the GOP of the imported clip does not match the GOP of the timeline, I have to render. But I don't know how to detect the GOP of either.
Arghhh... how I suffer for art! Any suggestions would be welcome!

Hi James ... Yup, that's right, stacked on top of each other with opacity lowered on both as well! (I do like Macpros my old G5 went red when talking about HDV in the same room!!). I have though managed to replicate Seths problem by not using the same size comp. settings in AE. ie if my comp settings in AE are 320x 120 and I try resizing when rendering that seems to throw FCP off track, but if the AE comp settings are 1440 x 1080 and rendered at the same using HDV 1080 then FCP treats the quicktime footage as the same as Sony HDV.

Export a 3D title text from after effects to my desktop

I am having trouble exporting my 3D title text from after effects to my desktop to use in premiere pro...sending to render que but won't render for export. Am I missing a step?

It would help if we knew your render settings, your experience level with AE, a little more about your workflow. Even knowing what version of AE and what OS may be helpful. This is probably just user error. Normal workflow would be to add the composition to the render cue, select a folder (the desktop is a lousy place to store assets by the way) and then press render. Without changing anything you'll get lossless DIm (digital intermediate) suitable for use in any NLE but not suitable for playback. If you need transparency then you should select lossless with alpha in the output module from the pull down.
If you want something else then tell us more.
Inside AE, if you see a search help field at the top right corner of the app type in 'rendering,' press enter, then read through the first two articles.

When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

16:9 video sides cut off when exported from After Effects

When I export a 16:9 video from After Effects, the sides are cut off in the exported clip. I've tried different export settings and and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Thanks!

and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell.
But are they really? We cannot know, because you don't say anything about your exact render settings and comp settings, which is what is required here. You could be using an unsuitable CoDec or even crop your output inadvertently by using a specific output module setting....
