Adobe After Effects CC Crashes during preveiw

Hey everyone,
     AE CC Crashes during a specific play-through/RAM preview
Video clip used is 60 frame rate 1280 by 720 about 4 seconds long
     Video Edits:
1. use Masking to make a text reveal like its hand written out with Stroke (Said an error happened with Stroke before it crashed)
2. Had the clip 3d motion tracked with the built in 3D Camera Tracker.
3. Optical Flares
     After it crashed I rebooted my computer, reopened AE CC and imported another un-edited clip and it previewed without a problem, did this with many other clips as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
     Thanks you for your time.

WIthot proper system info, the crash logs and other technical details nobody can tell you anything.

Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes During Startup

Hey I have a major problem i think.. after I installed AAE CS4 I picked the trial to see how it was b4 i bought it. Once everything was installed and complete I restarted my computer but when I went to open the program it pulled the grey aae startup box. It had 4% complete and said Initializing Media Core then it just stops and minutes later crashes with not progress. It continually does it with no improvement. Anybody that can help me?

I did all of the above:
- 9.03 update
-   1. Go go Control Panel -> System-> Advance System settings
     2. Click Advanced tab, Performance -> Setting
     3. Click Data Execution Prevention -> Turn on DEP for all programs except those I select - > Here you click Browse and choose where your AE CS4 location is, and click Apply -> OK .
- Run as administrator
Nothing worked. I still get the crash at start-up with the message
<960> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir=
C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Required.
and after that sorry, AE can'r continue..
Help me please, I have the 30 days trial and I desperately need to learn how this program works for a project. After that I want to buy it.
My system is 32bit Vista Windows, I installed AE CS4 (that's the last one to run on 32bit right?) and did an update to 9.03.

I used CS3 Clean script and followed all the instructions for "Bigger problem-solving tools" and "Other Tips & Tricks" on http://generalspecialist.com/2007/02/troubleshooting-after-effects-7.asp.
I'm still having the same problem but only StackHash_d742 is the problem none of the other extensions are showing up, after I attempt to run the program multiple times.
Is there a way to track this file down?

Adobe After Effects CS3 crashes with Codecs such as Motion JPEG and Avid DnxHD

Hey guys, I'm new here
I'm having a problem with After Effects CS3 crashing with .mov files (exported from Adobe Premiere) with codecs such as Motion Jpeg A and Avid's DnxHD. Its driving me crazy.
If I import a Motion Jpeg A file, AE crashes immediately. If I import a DnxHD file that works fine with Premiere, it seems to import ok. However, when I try to play it in AE it comes up as a plain white... thing. If I move the slider across it previews one or two frames before AE crashes. Its driving me crazy.
AE works ok with H.164 and animation files.
I'm reinstalled quicktime and Avids codecs, uninstalled ffdshow, disabled Open GL and multiprocessing, changed between 10bit and 8bit (whatever that is all about) with the dnxhd and I'm really stumped. If I can get Dnxhd working I'm fine with that. I thought I'd mention the Motion Jpeg A codec to see if they're a result of the same problem.
I've also tried Avid's RGB packed Codec with the same results.
I'm running Windows Xp 32 bit with 3gbs of ram, a GeForce 8600 gt with a Intel Pentium Duo Core Processor 2.00 GHZ.
Can anyone help me please?

I'm mistaken, Animation files don't work either!
I tried that with no luck. I even tried a few more Quicktime codecs with the same results.
Only H.164 and some png compressed .mov files seem to work. Very frustrating.
I'm surprised thats the case - I am defintley due for an upgrade. Even though this system seems to work ok, struggling a little bit with HD .mov files but yeah, I've been planning a new system for a while.

Adobe After Effects CS3 Crashes

When I try to run the program I get the following error:
After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for know issues. If you still can't resolve the issue, please contant Adobe Technical Support (2).
( 0 :: 42)
I've been searching ages around the net to find a solution, thought I haven't came across one. I really hope someone can help me with this problem.
It's very strange, because when I run the program as Administrator, the error doesn't occur. But when I import a video, open a project or something the same error pops up. Any idea's?

I have a 512MB graphics card, 4 GB of RAM. My computer should be able to handle it. It can handle the thoughest games, so.
Next to that, I also have Premiere Pro CS3, which used to work but doesn't anymore. When I start that up, it says Program doesn't work anymore and it shuts down automaticly.
And about the last status message, the only thing I see it the square after effects splash thing. Saying it uses 1% of my 4GB, then the error pops up and nothing happends.
Anyway, on the internet I read most of the time it has something to do with broken codecs and such. So I downloaded codec sniper, which says a few Premiere Pro codecs are broken. Can this have a link to After Effects not working?

Why does my Adobe after effects cs6 crash on start up?

I have Adobe After effects for my pc windows 7 64 bit. i have updated my graphics card drivers, my wacom bamboo pen and touch tablet, got the newest update for after effects. i have also fresh installed ae and reinstalled it multiple times. when i start it up it says http://i.imgur.com/48hVDXt.png i also run it as admin.

That worked.
I was using GeForce 314.22 Driver earlier today when it first failed
I reverted back to GeForce 310.90 Driver which also failed
Now I have installed GeForce 301.42 Driver and After Effects works again. Additionally, I didn't get the intermediary fault I described above (GPUSniffer crashing, but no AE) so I will stick with this driver until the next NVidia driver is released, and try that.
I'd consider reporting this to NVidia, but just haven't got the time or inclination.

Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes After Reinstall

Hello Adobe Community,
I come to you asking for help, my After Effects CS4 stopped working after reinstalling Leopard, I already reinstalled my Suite and Runned the Clean Up Script and still not working, first I launch the App and shows me the following error: "After Effects has encountered an error: [/Chinchillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MedialLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEP luginVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]" then I click continue and then it shows me another error: "After Effects can't continue: An Output contract violation has ocurred!" then it shows another error: "After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore" then it shows this "After Effects warning: Media Core is not correctly initialized" then it launches and freezes and shows that the app quitted unexpectedly, I'm sure that the app is dead but I already reinstalled with no success.
Im Running:
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7
Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz

After Effects worked and runned perfectly Please Help!
Mike

Hi Mike,
Sorry you are experiencing problems with After Effects.
I have a couple of questions....
- did you install from a download, or a CD? if from a download, please download again, as their may have been issues
- did you update it to v 9.02?
- did you have a previous beta version on your computer?
- you said you reinstalled Leopard - did you do a clean install? (ie reformatting your harddrive and starting clean)
I have experienced issues on the mac with a variety of different applications is I do a 're-install" vs a clean install.
Finally, are you aware that the minimum RAM requirements for AE CS4 is2GB
So since you only have 1GB, it could be a RAM issue.
If you decided you want to try reinstalling before doing the more difficult task (reformatting Mac OS X with a clean install), I would run the cleanup script first, redownload, install, and then update.
Here's the link: <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html>
good luck,
elaine

Adobe After Effects CS5 Crash problem!

Hi.
I am using AE CS5 under windows 7 , the program sometimes crashes when I am using many effects togheter, or if I am RAM previewing...
An example could be a big scene. A lot of adjusment layers, and
pre-composed scenes, layers , color adjusted materials.
It is really annoying because I dont get the chance to save the projects... Is this normal , or does a perfect system exist..?
I've tried to uninstall and install After Effects again, but that didn't help.
My computer specs : Intel Core I7 12GB RAM.
Screenshot of the whole project and the error message :

I really hope someone could help me to solve this problem!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards, Benjamin.

Hi!
Imageshack seems to work for me but anyways.. here is the error message. Hope you can help me out!

After Effects CS5 crashing during RAM Preview

After Effects CS5 was working just fine less than 24 hrs ago.
Now I cant even get it to RAM preview some text moving across the screen as a test.
It keeps getting hung up on "Background Process Status Loading Projects..."
Never an issue before. Didnt update or change ANYTHING.
Of course this happens right in the middle of a job...nice....
Utterly frustrated.
Mac OS 10.7.5
2 X 3 Dual Core Intel Xeon (one of the earlier Mac Pro Intel towers)
19GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

Funny you said that.
That is what i thought the problem might be. I am going to archive some stuff on my hard drive.
That is when the app started having issues. When the project started getting larger and having more elements.
In fact, now i am getting a weird wobble when I render a sequence from premiere. If I only render part of it, it doesnt happen.
Maybe I need to free up some space on my hard drive...?

After Effects CS4 crash during start - MAC

Hello
I have problem with AE CS4 on my mac. I downloaded trial from adobe. Instalation pocess was ok but during start after few first sec. AE is closing themself. There is no massage from AE. Only system is giving info about unexpected closing due to AE error.
Is any body the same problem? If you can, please help me with this or give me info about links where can I find solution.
Thank you

I found the problem and now is working ok. I had to turn off font "Zebra". I think that the same reason for crashes on start was before updateing AE.
INFO.
If you have the same problem like me, the best way is:
Turn off "Zebra" font - Aplications/Font Book. Select all fonts in left collumn. Then select zebra font and remove mark below (turn off). Start AE. If problem still exist, use this link:

There is adobe technical support list with another solutions.
