After Effects 7.0 and Quicktime Plugin Conflict

Hello "forum-ers",
I'm using Adobe After Effects 7.0, and i've created a video in the same.I want to use this video in Adobe Flash CS3.Neither the flv nor the Quicktime formats are available in the render queue options.I presume its because i do not have Quicktime installed.But if i try to install Quicktime, AE wouldn't load.It displays a message, error while loading plug-in "Scripting", and then crashes.So, i guess there's a shared plugin somewhere in between the two.
So if i use QT,i cant open AE.If i use AE,i cant save in QT.Similar problem lies in Flash, and its CS3 Encoder.Without installing QT, it displays a message : install DirectShow 9 "and" Quicktime 7.
Any help appreciated!
Many Thankx,

I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like something is severely mixed up on your system. Do you by any chance use some widget-y system extensions? Users have reported some funny things going on when e.g. MenuMaster or specific news feed widgets are installed. In any case, since for the time being you seem to be stuck with no QT in AE, you should work with TIFF files and PSDs. Both formats are reasonably compressed (for TIFF, enable the LZW option), support 16bpc and they are handled by native Adobe loaders/ savers, which should eliminate any potential interference side effects from your defunct QT routines. In addition, TIFFs can play almost realtime in AE just like some QT CoDecs, which helps when scrubbing through a complex project.

  • Difference between CS6 After Effects camera tracker and CAMERATRACKER plugin from the Foundry

    Can anyone who has worked on or viewed scenes using these tools, compare the differences or similarities? The one included in AE CS6 looks pretty good, expecially with ray tracing. Is it necessary to buy the plug-in at this point?
    Thx in advance.

    There are a bunch of camera trackers out there. AE's is amazingly easy to use for the right kind of shots but be warned, there are some shots that cannot be tracked by anything. I've done lots of camera tracking with all kinds of apps and sometimes, the only thing you can do is re-shoot. Don't expect miracles from any camera tracker or any stabilizer. They all have their limits.
    The key to success is an understanding of the limitations of the software, careful planning of the shot, and then careful execution of the shot. Only then will you get the predictable results. The biggest problem with AE's camera tracker and Warp Stabilizer is that they work without any knowledge or understanding for many shots so users tend to expect success on every shot.

  • After Effects CC, CoreAudio and QT32 Server crashes

    Hi all,
    I have been experiencing similar issues to other AE users regarding the Adobe QT32 Server crash problem and have been trying the various solutions posted here on this forum.
    I am running a MacPro 5,1 10.7.5 with an AJA LHi card using the recommended System Default Input/Output setting for Audio
    The Adobe QT32 Server would drop out as soon as AE had finished launching.
    So far I have:-
    removed DVCPROHDVideoutput.component from Library/Quicktime
    reinstalled the ProApp Codecs
    uninstalled (didn't help) and reinstalled (didn't change anything) the AJA Adobe plugins
    This left me with After Effects CC running fine as long as I stayed in AE. If I switched the desktop or Safari or any other CC app, then the Adobe QT32 Server would drop out citing CoreAudio as the problem in console.
    I have now selected Built In Line Output as my Audio hardware and connected that to my speakers. Since then I have been using AE quite happily for two hours without a problem and I can use other apps without crashing the QT32 Server.
    Hopefully this workaround may help others while the main problems are solved.
    Cheers
    Nic

    Thanks for posting your solution, Nic.
    We had one other case where this was the solution. We put a note about it at the bottom of the troubleshooting article.

  • FEATURE REQUEST: After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies

    If you feel the needs in efficient proxy workflow, welcome to the club and don't hesitate to submit feature request.
    Here is the adjusted to less than 2000 symbols feature request text:
    ***After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies*** 
    It would be nice if PrPro offered AE style Placeholders and Proxies workflow. There are cases, where they are extremely useful, e.g.:
    1. Huge modern formats and resource hungry codecs. Not all machines can easily handle 2k or 4k footages, some can't get real time playback even with AVCHD. Not to mention that CinemaDNG importer was discontinued partly because of inability to get real time playback in PrPro. The issue can be resolved via rendering previews, but that's not always the most efficient workflow.
    2. In multicam editing issues mentioned above increase dramatically. Rendering preview for every camera angle is simply impossible. Although PrPro offers offline clips workflow, an editor can't easily see if the clip is currently linked to a source footage or a proxy, and switching between sources and proxies involves several steps every time one needs to switch: selecting assets, making them offline, right-clicking again to link to other media, locating files on a disk; while in After Effects it's just one click once a proxy is set.
    3. Adobe Dynamic Link. PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck and entails the need to render DI for complex comps. Although AE allows to set DIs as proxies and, hence, enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between DI and dynamically linked comp and no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline, with hundreds of dynamically linked comps PrPro timeline becomes unresponsive and takes forever to render (for my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time). Meanwhile, PrPro doesn't currently allow to link offline dynamically linked comps to rendered DIs.

    As the person who maintains the feature request database for After Effects, I can confirm that the number of times an item has been requested is a major factor when we consider what to work on next. So are other factors, such as how hard the feature is to implement and maintain, how much testing is involved (often the larger concern than programming time), whether the request conflicts with something else that we are already working on, and so on. It is true that we consider not just raw numbers of requests but the details of who is making the requests---e.g., whether the requests are coming from animators or compositors, beginners or experts.
    I can only speak for the After Effects team, but the Premiere Pro team works much the same way (which is unsurprising, since we are in the same group and have overlapping team members).
    We also try to give some visibility into the most requested items with posts like this:

  • After Effects CS5 Mac says "Quicktime is not installed on this system, some components...

    the error message is "QuickTime is not installed on this system, some components will not work correctly."
    And when I open After Effects CS5 on MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 running 10.6.3, it is basically not functionaly, because it will not open any quicktime movies without an error message.
    Quicktime is installed on this mac.
    I have run permissions and run diskwarrior, and it has not solved this problem.
    Any ideas?

    There are a few things that cause After Effects to report that QuickTime is not installed.
    One  is the obvious one: If  QuickTime 7.x is not installed, After Effects will report that QuickTime  is not installed.
    The next most common reason is  quite different: The TCP communication with the QuickTime server is  blocked, so After Effects thinks that QuickTime isn't there at all. The  fix for this to remove the blockage in communication. Sometimes the  blockage is because of an aggressive firewall program, which sees the  TCP communication and stops it. If this is the case, then you can either  turn the firewall software off or specifically allow the QT32 Server  component to communicate; instructions for letting a specific process  communicate are different for each firewall program, so you'll have to  look in the documentation for your security software for information  about doing that. Here's a document with some more information about  this general issue, though it refers to a more serious failure when the  blockage happens at a different step in the After Effects startup  process: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/857/cpsid_85711.html
    Another  reason is that QuickTime can fail to initialize fully because it gets  stuck loading a badly written importer component. If you have any AVI  importers/codecs on your Mac, this could be the issue. Here's a message  that goes into some detail about that: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2808379#2808379

  • After Effects 7.0 and OSX

    Hi Gang
    Happy Holidays!
    I may have asked this question before, and so it's probably old news.
    I'm still using After Effects 7.0, and Photoshop 7.0 - I can't afford the current suite packages. My current software works fine.
    I'm also still using 10.4.11 - I don't believe any of these programs are compatible in Leopard, 10.5 - Correct?
    Thank you

    Don't touch anything.  Don't upgrade anything.  Just keep doin' what you're doin'. 
    This also implies that you can't take advantage that newfangled mp4/H.264/ RED video, DSLR video footage, or any new software requiring a 64-bit OS.  You're kind of stuck in the days of George Dubya Bush's first first term in office.

  • After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem

    After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem
    I am having trouble getting my footage to update in an AE project. 
    In an existing project, there is an image sequence in a composition.  I have saved and closed AE, modified the footage (same dimensions and qty. of frames, only the pixel data changes), and then re-launched AE and opened the project.  Though I have changed the footage, the old content still appears.
    To resolve this, I have done the following:
    Edit>Purge>All Memory
    Edit>Purge>Image Cache Memory
    Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Empty Disk Cache
    Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Clean Database & Cache
    From the Project window I've selected all footage and selected Reload
    None of these got the footage to update.  I could double-click on the footage in the project bin and scrub the play head and the old footage was still displayed.
    Finally I had to replace the footage with itself and that resolved the issue.
    If this is operator error, lack of understanding the cache functions, or something else, I'd appreciate some assistance. I don't recall this behavior in CS 5.5, so I am guessing this is a change in CS 6.

    about Illustrator and Photoshop files in CS6 especially - you should work with Ctrl/Cmd+E (Edit Original).
    when in Ae and you want to change a source file, use this command on one of the layers
    from the source file you wish to change (doesn't matter if its in the timeline or project window) and
    your original software linked to that file will open.
    when you work this way you make AE reload that file and any change after that will be seen back in AE immediately.
    it is also very convenient way to work because there can be no confusion on which file you are on
    if you work with multiple source files for example.
    even if you made the change with your Photoshop/Illustrator opened file and got back to Ae
    and didn't see any change - press on one of the layers Ctrl/Cmd+E and this will refresh it immediately.
    This is the case in CS6.
    in CC I have noticed that any change I make is refreshed immediately in Ae as if it rechecks the changes all the time,
    and didn't even need to use Ctrl/Cmd+E but it's a good habit all the same.
    didn't come across a case where that didn't work for be but
    if all fails you could always change the folder location of the file, let Ae lose it, then replace footage of the file,
    and thus let Ae re-link it back.

  • Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition?

    Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition? I saw all the other plans but I'm just a private cartoon animator and don't really need the other software. Plus I don't really do that much money out of this and paying for the complete Create Cloud seems like a waste of money. So basically what I'm looking for is a better monthly price where i can just pay for does 5 adobe software i so despretly need

    DAIM  because that's a bit expensive for me. 60euros each month I thought maybe there's a way I can spend less and use this software. I live in a Malta, it's a small country of only four hundred thousand residents and I just use this to animate a few cartoons and I don't really make that much money out of them. I'd end up spending more on the software than I actually make.

  • After effects import failing and crashing

    After effects CC 2014.1.1 on imac i7 running OSX 10.10.1
    Any actions within after effects evokes an error "warning undo group mismatch, will attempt to fix"
    This often either crashes software or deletes without trace all imported recent files.
    A connecting issue to this is tat the import function via the menu or the short cut only works once. a second import and the import window does not show up. The only way is to drag and drop.
    This then seems to be one of the trigger for the mismatch issue thus AE deleting all imported files even after working on them.
    I have tried both AE CC and AE CC2014 with the same problems on both software versions
    I have tried deleting the preferences from both software versions
    I have also tried a complete uninstall and re install, this meant I lost CC and now only have CC2014 but it STILL has the same problem.
    Im reallly stuck here and I have a deadline luming and a workflow that has more or less come to a standstill.
    The only other thing I can say that isnt my day to day work flow is that Im using a C4D .aec file for camera data and image sequence but not sure if that would cause a n issue.
    PLEASE HELP

    -importing into a new project seemed to work but then import stopped after 5-6 imports.
    -starting a brand new project has the same problem.
