AE CS6 won't launch on OSX 10.10, the update suggested to fix this (After Effects CS6 (11.0.4)) won't install

I upgraded to yosemite, and now AE won't open.
Steps I've found on the forums that I've tried and haven't worked:
updating from the application manager:
there doesn't appear to be an update for AE listed in the updates, so that one's a bust.
fixing the permissions problem mentioned here:         
        the folder is already set to 'read & write' for my account, and for everyone.
Downloading and installing this update:
When I attempt to install it, Adobe  Application Manager tells me this:
        so I struck out there, as well.
Are there any other things I can try? or is the next step uninstall and reinstall?

After a time-machine reboot and a clean reinstall of everything, I was able to successfully install the 11.0.4 patch.  Do I get points for resolving my own question?

  • Preview-picture making fix in After Effects CS6 before rendering

    Hello guys,I use tutorials for learning after effects cs6...I can't find how I can rendering a preview-picture which will be showed in the ready movieclip. Do we have a possibility for making a special picture/ICON in CS6 before rendering? Greetings from Torsten

    Yes I'm trying to define a special thumbnail image of a rendered clip from my timeline - I can't believe it, that AE CS6 this not can??? In a little clip with 15 sec it will rendered any picture in the middle of the timeline...I can't believe it !!! THE GREAT PROGRAMM AE CS6... :-(
    You are really sure?

  • Where is the Warp Stabilizer plugin located in After Effects CS6 program files?

    I need to delete the plugin temporarily to gain access to my project because it constantly crashes on start up due to the Warp Stabilizer.

    NOt sure if you can actually remove it,but it should be in the plugins/extensions sub-folder inside the AE install folder. Anyway, try the usual troubleshooting first before taking such a radical step that may destroy AE and require a reinstall. Flush the caches, open the project with capslock and remove the effect.

  • After Effects CS6 Won't Launch After Mavericks Upgrade.

    Hi All,
    I have seen a few posts regarding this and have scoured the web for few hours looking for answers. So far all I have found are patches from Adobe and their asking that we uninstall and reinstall the app.
    None of this has worked so far.
    In fact I've gone from an error of "Can't use this version" to adding the patches to now getting "After Effects Cannot Be Opened Because Of A Problem". It goes on to add this...
    Check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Two questions:
    1. Is there a fix for this?
    2. If not, how can I revert back to 10.8 without losing everything.

    Ok, I found one more article talking about upgrading to 11.3 upgrade instead of 11.4(latest). Finaly worked. Hope this helps someone else, this was painful.

  • After effects CS6 error file cannot be imported - this 'moov' file is damaged or unsupported

    Hi there,
    I'm working in After Effects CS6 (11.0.2.11)
    I imported an AAF that was exported from Avid MC 6.5.2. I colour corrected and graded the sequence using colorista 2 and magic bullet looks and some other native AE FX.
    Before exporting I decided to double check something to do with the audio. I imported the same AAF into FCP 7, took a quick look, but decided nothing needed to be done. I tabbed back to AE (which was left open), and upon returning, AE started giving me all these 'damaged or unsupported' errors.
    Subsequently, AE will now not import any quicktime movies - even ones I rendered out of after effects earlier in the day (these quicktimes use ProRes422 codecs, animation codecs and other lossless codecs)
    I've restarted, re-exported the AAF several times using diff settings, uninstalled perian... but to no success.
    Anyone got any good ideas? I've had this happen before, where AE will import an AAF and it works first time no problem. Then something happens when I re-open the project and boom... 'moov' errors. It's really odd and very annoying - esp since it now won't import other normal quicktime movies too - with the animation codec. I have quicktime 7 pro installed and quicktime X on Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.3).

    I have the exact same problem on a Mac with 10.8.3 and After Effects from the Adobe CS6 MasterCollection (AE 11.0.2.11 (german)): all of a sudden I cannot import any native QuickTime-Movies (ProRes, Animation) or even movies that use e.g. H264 in a QuickTime container. Even projects that worked 2 days ago that contain QuickTime-movies will not open anymore.
    This happened 2 days ago without any action from me that I can think of that could have caused this. I did not install any new codecs or plugins, nor was there anything in the apple software update.
    What I tried/checked so far (to no avail):
    disks are OK,
    file permissions are OK,
    no Firewall is blocking anything,
    deleted AE-prefs,
    removed all 3rd-party plugins,
    removed all 3rd-party codecs.
    Edit: I did some further poking around, and it turns out that after deleting or resetting file permissions of the folder "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects" AE will briefly allow you to open an existing project that contains QT-movies. If you then try to import any QT-movie you get the error message -- and after that you cannot open the project again.
    This is really bad -- AE is basically unusable right now.
    P.S.: The (german) error-message is this: "After Effects Fehler: Die Datei "filname.mov" kann nicht importiert werden: Datei "MooV" ist entweder beschädigt oder wird nicht unterstützt."

  • After Effects CS6: Canon .CR2 RAW files not recognized as acceptable files for import?

    HI Folks,
    I'm trying to import as I've seen on tutorials, my RAW files from my Canon 5D3  .CR2 files.  I can open them in PS and LR5….and I'd seen examples of folks opening them with AE CS6 standalone, but it doesn't seem to recognize mine.
    Any thoughts? Is there something I need to update, or flag or change?
    I'm on a mac, OSX 10.7.5
    AE verson: 11.0.4.2
    This is what my import screen looks like:
    Thanks in advance,
    C

    I read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
    After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
    I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
    Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!

  • After Effects CS6 (11.0.3) bug-fix update released, enables running on Mac OS X v10.9 (Mavericks)

    Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.3) fixes many crashes and other bugs.
    Details: http://adobe.ly/AE_CS6_1103
    This update is required to run After Effects CS6 on Mac OSX v10.9 (Mavericks).

    Thank you, Todd. I (and many others, I'm sure) are glad to see Adobe still supporting the older (purchased) software. Not a lot of companies do that sort of thing.

  • Serious Issues with After Effects CS6 and CC

    Wife updated computer to Mavericks and now I can't open AE CS6 at all - I've downloaded all the updates, but am getting message: "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'Users/christophersprinkle/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.2678.1407352277696161.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
    There isn't even a file named as the above ... 
    That warning is followed by "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    When I try to open the project I'm working on with AE CC, it refuses to open it. 
    Please help.  Am seriously screwed.

  • After Effects CS6 will no longer load past Splash Screen

    Recently been using AE CS6 more frequently. Used it today for about 3-4 hours. Restarted my computer when it started to get slow to free up space from temp/cache files. Now AE does not load past the splash screen when I want to open it. Pauses for a while, then either I get a generic "program has stopped working/responding", or occasionally something else. I have allocated 26 mb of my RAM to Adobe use (only After Effects was open). Media cache files are set to 50 Gb. The program is installed on my 120 Gb SSD, which is out of space. However, all the reference files and media caches are set to go to my HDD, which has 1.5 TerraB's available. Photoshop opens fine and run fines still.
    When attempting to open, Sometimes it mentions that the Dynamic Link had an error or was the last thing that was trying to load. Have restarted computer, no change. Please Help, have two projects going that need to be done very soon.
    Running Windows 7 Ultimate, AE CS6 through the Master Suite. 32 Gb Ram, Intel i7 processor, EVGA GTX570 Graphic Card. There havent been any updates for anything in a few weeks that I'm aware of.
    Really don't want to go through a re-installation...It was working just fine for months, then this.

    Manually flushed, reinstalled graphics driver (was a slight update, a few sub sections), and all other drivers in DMan are good to go. Also uninstalled Quicktime and did a fresh install of that too. Still no good. The exact error message is this:
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <6032>
    <DynamicLink><5> C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6\dynamiclinkmanager.exe
    Also, checked firewall settings - nothing shows up as blocked, although I could be not looking at it right. Running McAfee OAS.

  • I am trying to download After Effects cs6 Trial. I am trying to download it from the download assist

    I am trying to download After Effects cs6 Trial. I am trying to download it from the download assistant tool. It keeps giving me error 107. (Cannot Communicate from error 107) I have tried restarting and reinstalling the assistant but it keeps giving me the same error. How do I fix this?

    Both After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 require a 64-bit operating system.  You can find further details at:

  • Help with   After Effects CS6-

    I did something to piss off after effects -    not sure what I did exactly I was trying to make an after effects icon on the dock ( I have a MacBook pro  running mavericks )
    I have a subscription to the creative cloud - and have downloaded after effects CS6 .  but....
       Now when  I try  to open one of my  After effects projects it says "  Error message - something about I need to uninstall the older version of after- effects ,  - and then it listed a preset ( blur)
    and when I close the window , there were approximately 30  similar windows  with the same message , but a different preset,( blur this or that )
    So like an idiot I went to my applications and dragged my after effects app icon to the trash  ( there were two of them)  and then emptied the trash-  Now all my After effects files are greyed out with  small green text that says "exec"
    what should I do?  I cant opn my AE   (after effects) files,  I went to the cloud to re-install it and it says it is alll updated ,  should I do a uninstall?  How do I do that?   can I do that and then re-install AE CS6?     will  adobe make me download the newer CC version?   I dont want that version because all the computers at my school run CS6
    Can someone advise me what the next step would be?
    Im grateful for this forum.

    Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also learn to name your files sensibly - using $ in a file name may simply be interpreted as a variable by the operating system.

  • Premiere pro / After Effects CS6 upgrade , render doesn't save ?

    Hi, I have just upgraded CS5.5 to CS6.
    I have opened and converted a previous project in CS6 which is linked to After Effects via the dynamic link. The media opened ok but even though it was fully rendered and saved from the previous version I had to re- render the entire sequence ..l. It's a 4 minute timeline and took over an hour to render in premiere CS6 .
    Now I have come back to the project today , I have opened After Effects and then opened the project in premiere pro, all the media is connected but I have a red render line again and another hour to wait for rendering until I can start working.
    Any tips on getting the render to save so I don't have to re- render each time I open the project.
    Is this a problem with converting older CS5.5 projects in CS6 ?
    My system is :
    IMac 3.1 Ghz i5
    12gb
    OS10.7.4
    Thanks
    Mark

    Ok thanks. What about this card?

  • CC Particle World 3D not working properly on After Effects CS6

    The CC Particle World's 3D functions doesn't seem to work properly to me.
    Videocopilot's Tutorial:
    My Project:
    The particles aren't 3D on After Effects CS6 to me? :/

    I don't follow. The particles were never "true 3D" to begin with - not in Andrews tutorial, not in any version of AE. It's just an illusion and layer stacking order is all that matters. The particles only exist inside their own little 3D universe.
