AE CC Mac: After Effects Collect Files not collecting some files, including project!

I need to send a client some collected projects, but the File > Dependencies > Collect Files command is not collecting some of the files (after the project has been reduced, so all the files in the project are required), including the project file!
I just end up with a collected folder containing a "Footage" folder that includes some of the files and not others. This is a nightmare!! There are hundreds of files that will take days I do not have to manually track each file down.
Any suggestions?

    And what if you simply trash the whole prefs folder/ move it out of the way? AE should happily re-create everything with factory defaults. realyl sounds like one of your workspace files is damaged, perhaps due to a crash.

  • After effects warning could not create the file

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to After effects, (so new that I haven't managed to save a file). Can anyone help with this? I am running CS6 on an oldish mac pro, but flash and premiere run fine, and so does after effects, except it won't let me save, and instead comes up with this message: after effects warning could not create the file.
    I have even tried saving a file with just a jpeg in it, and it still won't let me.
    Any suggestions? I am a bit confused.

    When you save in AE, you're saving the project file -- which inclues all your work in the comp -- but you can't save the comp itself to a media file.  It doesn't work that way.  You have to export or use the AE Render Queue.
    I recommend spending some quality time here.

  • After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

    after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

    What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

  • After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

    I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
    When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
    "After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
    I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
    I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
    I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

  • Mac after effects update crash

    Just updated AE CC to 2014.1.1 for my Mac OS 10.9.5
    And now, the computer is crashing every time I render a file.
    The only plugins I have are Neat Video "Reduce Noise".
    I will be trying the same footage on CS6 and then again on another computer.
    I'm sure I'm not giving enough information, but any help is dearly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Other issues at the moment:
    Very slow load time of software (Premiere and After Effects)
    Link Media not working at all

    Are you using Neat Video plugin in your project?
    What are your render settings?
    What are your system specs?
    Etc. :FAQ: What information should I provide?

  • After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)   ( 25 :: 101)  *POSSIBLE FIX*

    Hi. Im New to the forums so sorry in advance if i do something incorrect
    Since my Purchase of Adobe CS6, I was not able to use dynamic link, or the plugins that required you to connect to the Adobe Analysis Server (3d Tracker, Warp Stablizer ETC) It would always give me the error
    After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)
    ( 25 :: 101)
    Or if i would use dynamiclink
    The Importer created a generic error
    Through hours and hours searching through the internet, and trying possible fixes, i found possible fixes that might help people with this error.
    *Before attempting any of these fixes, make sure you reinstall CS6 Using the Adobe Cleaner*
    This guide is for Windows OS Only.
    If the error still presists, try these options
    -If your windows account is not a administrator, Run Adobe After Affects CS6 As Administrator
    -Disable your Anti-Virus and your Firewall
    I know you have probably heard this over and over again, but this is mainly the cause of the problem. Some Anti-Viruses even when disabled, go into some sort of one eyed open mode, where it still monitors your computer ever so slightly, so you may want to uninstall the anti-virus. As for the firewall,
    1) Go to your start menu search "Check Firewall Status"
    2)Then to the left of the window, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off
    3)Then tick "Turn of Windows Firewall" on BOTH Home or work network and Public Network.
    -Close and Uninstall filtering and spyware programs such as Netnanny and Premiere Opinion. This might be using the TCP Ports that is needed for After effects, dynamic link and adobe analysis server to communicate
    -Start up Adobe Analysis server Manually. This can be done by going to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files and running Adobe Analysis server.exe as Adminisrator, Then starting Premiere, After effects, etc.
    -If the Adobe Cleaner didnt already, Clean your registry. This can be done with free applications such as CCleaner.
    If none of those options work,  I would suggest a full format and reinstall of windows.
    I hope this would help people with this issue.

    I'm running the latest version. Just installed yesterday.
    You can download and install the latest version (and older versions) of versions 11, 12, and 13 from Adobe right now. That is why I was asking for the exact version number with decimals. Just the other day, someone said they were running the latest version and they weren't aware that CC was even a thing. They were running version 11.0.3 (which isn't even the latest version of CS6 - it's 11.0.4). That's why I always ask.

    That doesn't seem like a good idea. While there can't be anything technically referred to as a "virus" on the Mac OS (due to the underlying structure), there can be (and are) malware variants out there that do attack machines running the Mac OS. As Apple products have grown in popularity, developers have been creating more and more malware aimed at OSX.
    I certainly hope you at least have your firewall running.

    I tried launching Premiere yesterday and it crashed.
    This points to a much more serious underlying problem. Thousands (if not millions) of people are running Premiere and After Effects on Macs. What sort of error messages did you receive when it crashed?
    Try installing version 12 of AE and the previous version of Premiere as well and see if they run.

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error message:
    After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I have yet to find an answer that works to resolve this problem. I'm using CS6 on an HP Z220 on Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    So I solved the problem. A little history for this situation: I created a new AE project and while attempting to import a file received the error message:  After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I then tried to import a Vanishing Point which broken the spell on the error message and allowed the menu to select a vanishing point to appear. I closed out of that and was then able to import files.

  • After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file.

    I'm using CS4 in Windows XP SP3.  When I work with video in Photoshop, apply filters as smart object, and save as psd, then import into AE as footage>merged layers, I get this message:  After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file.  The file open as just the footage with none of the work I did in PS.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?  Am I missing some step along the way?
    Thanks!

    Isn't it obvious? AE does not support smart filters. It will only use the rasterized content of a PS layer. Hence you will have to rasterize the layer in PS to retain its appearance with all the effects applied. Look in the help which specific PSD features AE is able to support and translate.

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46) CS6

    Hello I just created a project in AE CC and wanted to save also a version for CS6.
    All went ok but when I tried to open the project in CS6 I received the following error:
    "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46)"
    Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

    After Effects CC is much, much better at handling characters that are outside of the character set used by the OS at its current language settings. So, file names and paths (and other strings) that work fine in After Effects CC and later may fail with earlier versions.
    For example, if you are running your OS and applications in English and have Chinese characters in your file names, After Effects CS6 and earlier will fail, but After Effects CC and earlier will succeed.

    After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.
    2 I just dowload AE CC 2014 fort the first time and It say to me The trial version is over....
    thank you

    if your trial is over, it's over.  there's no easy way to re-start a 30 day trial even if it ends before 30 days, Adobe trial software expired early
    if you only had problem 1, you could probably resolve it by right clicking ae and clicking 'run as administrator'.

  • 10.5.2 The Installer could not install some files in "/"

    I have tried to upgrade my Inter Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66 to 10.5.2.
    I ran the install through software update and proceeded through the 2 restarts. Once my mini restarted I checked "about my mac" to find that it still said the system was 10.5.1
    I ran software update again to find that on trying to install i now get the message
    Install Failed - The installer could not install some files in "/" please contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    I then tried the same with the combo updater and got the same message

    Can anyone help??
    Is anyone getting the same problem?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem installing the Leopard Graphics Update on my Dual 2.5 G5. Installing 10.5.2 went fine, but afterwards the graphics update would fail to install, with the same error message you got. I tried both Software Update and downloading the standalone installer.
    But wait, there's more! I also can no longer repair permissions using Disk Utility. I get the following message: "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Booting from my Leopard install CD does allow me to fix permissions.
    Lastly, my second internal hard drive is now also behaving oddly, Any time I try to drag a file to the Trash, I get a dialog box telling me: "The item "(file name)" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?"
    I've run DiskWarrior from the CD and tried fsck in Single User mode (no errors found). Nothing seems to help
    I had no problem updating to 10.5.2 on my MacBook, but the update to my desktop has been a real booger. Anyone who can offer any input, I'd sure appreciate it.

    After validation and subsequent re-start of the machine the following error message was displayed.
    *_None of the checked updates could be installed. The installer could not install some files in"/"._*
    *_Contact Software Manufacturer for assistance._*
    After the iMac hung on the message and a "OFF button push reboot", I attempted to run Safari and the icon bounced once and the app did not run. "Safari Broken" couldn't surf the net.
    I replaced the safari app file with an original 3.04 from a memory stick and rebooted and it ran the next time around.
    Other attempts days later produced the same results. Safari Broken
    Any method of correction? .

  • How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

    Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
    I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
            String string;
            try {
                StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
                char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
                while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                    sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
                br.close();
                string= sb.toString();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,

    You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.
