After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:
"removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"
THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!
NO FLV !?!?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)
NO H264 !?!?!
HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?
YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!
Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

To date I've primarily been a Photoshop user and have dealt with years of mystifying UX and workflow changes, features that are useless to me added, and critical ones taken away (I'm looking at you Bridge, you worthless piece of garbage). Then, to add insult to injury, Adobe forum mods telling me I'm doing it wrong and should be jumping through more hoops to achieve the same results. Now, with AE becoming a bigger part of my work, I am sad to find, that the same culture of disconnected arrogance and myopia prevails on the AE dev team.
"Oh um user, you really want to be going through AME, because um technically speaking there have been many problems with the H.264 and MPEG-2 exporters in After Effects"
Oh really? Tell me more about my job. Tell me about my experiences exporting these formats directly from AE. Tell me how my client views my content, is it on a Mac, or a PC? Maybe it's on his phone, or her iPad. What kind of phone is it though? Tell me at what point in my process it's ideal to render. Tell me about other tasks I'm performing. Tell me about the resolution and the bit-rate my files should play at. Tell me the final application I will be using the footage. Probably broadcast right? Or is it web? Or is it PowerPoint? Wait, what if there is no final output? What if it's just pre-vis for some other application?
Tell me how to win over my clients; what's the correct method of presentation to engage them most impactfully? Tell me about how much time I have to render massive video files. Is it more time efficient due to the nature of my composite to render once because my file is super shallow and will render quickly or is it more efficient to render twice because my file is extremely complex with hundreds of layers?
That the deprecated formats were hidden away in the preferences menu is dumb and annoying. That this same preference would then be removed is despicable and petty and is further confirmation that Adobe has contempt for me as a user.

After Effects CC 2014 why did you remove "middle click pan"

A few days ago I updated the After Effects to 13.1.0.111
I started having some problems after update. Most notably problem is middle click pan dos not work. Why did you remove this usefull tool?

The After Effects CC 2014.1.1 (13.1.1) update fixes several bugs, including this one. Let us know how it's working for you once you've installed the update.

After Effects CC 2014 crashing on startup

I downloaded the trial version of After Effects. By downloading it, it activated a 30-day trial. However, every time I try to start up the program, it gives me an error and crashes. I read on the forums issues about fonts and OpenGL, but it doesn't even give me detailed information on the crash. Anybody able to give me a bit of an assist on this? I use Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 on my PC. I primarily use Sony Vegas for my video work, however I was sent a file on AE and rather than get in contact with the client to have them resend it in .veg, I figured I could download the trial and open it there. No such luck. I've finished the work, but now this AE issue is just bugging me. I am interested in trying it, but if I can't get into the trial, it really curbs my interest in the program.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
     After Effects CC 2014.2 (13.2)    (Creative Cloud says it is up to date, so I'm assuming it is 13.2)
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
     Yes. Creative Cloud says After Effects is up to date.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
     Windows 7 Ultimate
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
     After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <5640> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
     After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects Help and Support, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_support. If you still can't resolve      the issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).

     [[Note that the last logged message number changes every time i try to open the program. <5696> <3564> <10968> <10884> and so on]]
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
     Happens whenever I open After Effects via Shortcut, Start Menu, Program Files, or through Creative Cloud
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
     Has never worked in the four days I have had the trial active

Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

After Effects CC 2014 - Rendering / saving project file to CS6

Hello all,
I'm writing here to try to understand the st**** decision to exclude mp4 and mpeg from the render possibilities from After Effects CC 2014. I would gladly go back to CS6 but as of now I have more than 40 hours of edited video project in CC 2014, which of course cannot save project files to CS6, which is another brilliant move by somebody in Adobe that has the title position of "the dude for giving ideas to p*** people off". Now the problem is this, if I choose to export just a single clip from my composition of course I cannot export it to a container and codec of my choosing since it cannot be exported to Media Encoder, and has to be done in After Effects or I have to make a composition for each and every file, in order to export it to to the Media Encoder.
Now I ask you good people any way to move my projects back to CS6, remove this unusable piece of software and be over with it, I simply don't have the time to be toying around with Adobe's new found glory for Apple and exporting stuff to QuickTime, taking 3 times longer than mpeg. Tried with OpenSeasame and by just exporting an XML file but none work so if there is any other way please let me know.
Good thing I only got 1 month and didn't pay for the whole year...
Cheers,
shorto

Did you use any of the new features in either AE CC (the original one) or CC 2014? If yes, you're kinda stuck.
If no, you'd have to engage in a two-step process: backsave the AE CC 2014 project to AE CC, then open the project in AE CC and backsave to CS6.

After Effects CC 2014,0 H264 Media export

Windows 8.1 (absolutely nothing to do with the problem)
Quicktime version 7,7,5 (absolutely nothing to do with the problem)
After Effects CC 2014.0
Unable to export media with h264 codec of the same quality as in After Effects CS6,
Media Encoder CC 2014.0 - h264 - worse quality, twice the size of the file
Quicktime - h264 - much lower quality, much larger - about 6x - unusable
Thank you for advice on how to make After Effects reusable software.
Without quality media export this program unusable.

Thank you I learned that it is dependent on the setting. After twenty years of working with AE, it is refreshing to me. I recommend you try the settings before you answer and you will see that the original h264 codec, which was removed from After Effects, had at the same file size much higher quality. Full HD 50p has MediaCoder twice the size of a qucktime h264 is unusable. If you say that the same results can edit the settings, please publish here the settings for full HD 50p. (for sure 50 frames per second 1920x1080 px) After the recent modifications indeed degraded to a tool for Youtube, but before that it was a professional tool for video post-production. Please, therefore the publication of setting the same quality as it was before deleting AE h264 codec.

After Effects CC 2014 - Crash on launch

At first - I've read all topics with that problem , and it doesn't work correctly.
I bought After Effects as Single Application yesterday. And I'm very sad, because of this problem. Can anyone help me?
I've tried this - CC Applications crash immediately after launch . It did not make any difference.
I can see the work space of After Effects at start for a slit second before crash. And then my window are makins smaller with crash. But it doesn't save any crash logs. I tried to fix it.
I've reinstalled program something about 5-6 times. I used Cleaner Tool too...
If I opened the topic in wrong way - sorry. I'm new here. Please, if u can - help me !
Greets.

Okay, sorry and thanks for the reply.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number and sizes of connected monitors, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
What other software are you running?
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
After Effects CC 2014 (13.2 or 13.0)
I've instaled recent updates
Windows 7 Home Premium
I'm not getting any error messages
It isn't worked before.
Ram = 8GB
CPU Intel Core i5-2450M @ 2,50 GHz
One monitor, disc drive.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
I have the newest drivers.
I have QuickTime (newest).
I'm running skype/chrome like other software.
I'm using OpenGL.
I'm not using Ray Traced 3D,( because my After Effect don't work correctly).
I think that's enough.

After Effects CC or After Effects CC(2014) - which to use?

I'm sure many of you have came across this issue with Creative Cloud that for some reason there are 2 version of every software - CC and a CC(2014) version.
It appears that the 2014 version is the most up to date for AE, however I was under the impression that the software would simply update continuously as CC. Can anyone clear up for me please which versions to run as default as its quite a nuisance having to update 2 versions for every Adobe programme. And now that we are into 2015 will the 2014 versions be phased out, or updated to 2015?

The current version is After Effects CC 2014 (13.2). You can keep After Effects CC (12.2.1) around if you like; there are a couple of features that we removed from the new version that a small number of people want to keep the older version around for.
See the section "Why a new major version, not just a minor version update?" here for an explanation of why we sometimes put out a new version, not just an update :

Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio (After Effects CC 2014)

Hi All,
How do you create a custom Pixel Aspect Ratio for After Effects CC 2014. I need a PAR of 3.3, as it would help me solve a technical problem i've been having with projection mapping.
I've tried editing the Interpretation Rules.txt file which was hidden within the Users\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\13.1 Folder. To remove the last # so i can at least see that I can set up a custom PAR.
But it doesn't appear in the drop down menu when creating a comp, or interpreting footage.
I've also made the same change to the Interpretation Rules.txt file in the Premiere PRO CC 2014\Plug-ins\en_US\ folder.
And I've restarted my PC after changes just incase Media Core wasn't updating itself properly.
I can see the Custom PAR as an export option out of Media Encoder. But thats not what i need. I need to be able to correct a render which had a PAR of 3.3 without losing pixel information, much like an Anamorphic workflow.
Anyway, Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Evan

Hi Rick,
You're right, it's no known PAR... completely arbitrary and custom to this particular job. I'll run you through my process.
I have a projection surface (a basketball court) Which needs to have content designed onto it which is viewable from one perspective point (camera 1) in the stadium. The problem is that Camera 1's viewing angle to the court is quite shallow.
This is what Camera 1 sees:
I will be generating like this for the surface so that it looks like a deep 3d surface from "camera 1"
Now, the problem is that when I perspective correct the renders to fit what the projector will be projecting from straight down. There isn't enough pixel information for the height of the image. Meaning the pixels will smear.
This is the image that would be projected from a top mounted projector to achieve the 3d effect from the image above, you can see the loss of information in the the height pixels.
My solution for getting more information into the height is to render out of our 3d packages with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 3.3. This was the sweet spot I found to get enough pixel information to match the pixel output of the projectors.
The resulting render looks like this (note, the angle of the camera hasn't changed)
As you can see, there is more height detail now, which will mean that that last row of pixels will be remain fairly sharp.
So, at this point, I can render from my 3d applications, and conform to the projector dimensions, with very little information loss in the height of the projected image, and without compromising my 3d persepctive.
I'm using the plugin "Camera Mapper" to project this render onto a plane which gets me the full frame of the projector at the right resolution, 4608 x 2304
The tricky part how to composite elements into the scene in an intuitive way.
If i want a horse to look like its jumping through the scene from "camera 1", like this:
Then in the that contains all the information, It will look like this:
Now that's all well and good, but it'll be harder to create realistic looking effects from this view, because they'll all need to be stretched.
I'd like to retain all the image information and just view the comp as though it's squished down.
I imagine this could be done easily by changing the comp settings to a PAR of 3.3.
That way, all the pixel information remains, but i can design in a realistically proportioned composition.
I hope that gets you up to speed on my issue, and my request for a solution.
So, in summary. I'll I'm really looking for is a way to customise the PAR options so that I have a custom available that I can apply to this, and only this scene.
Does this makes sense?
Cheers,
Evan

Cannot launch After Effects CC 2014

Hi,
SInce this morning, I cannot launch After Effects CC 2014 anymore.
At the first time, I had a hanging splash screen.
I forced the application to quit.
Now, when i try to launch it, nothing happens, the icon is bouncing in the dock, no startupscreen is showing.
I tried to reinstall the application. Nothing changed.
After Effects CC (12.2) is working correctly.
I see 2 possible reasons :
1) I recently updated to Mac OS 10.9.4
2) Since a few days, each time I launched AE, it said that I had 4-3-2-1 day left to resolve a payment problem (In fact I upgraded my Subscription from Monthly to Year, so I had to cancel my monthly subscription, and then get a new 1-year subscription. It seemed like AE did not see the new subscription)
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for approximate english...
Eric

I'd allready tried that but it had no effect.
In Fact, I found a solution from Dépannage des comportements inattendus | Eléments spécifiques d’un compte d’utilisateur | Logiciels Adobe | Mac OS
I had to remove an old startupItem named AdobeResourceSynchronizer.
Now everything is ok !
Thanks anyway

Render file size bigger After Effects CC 2014

Hello, this seems like a silly question, but ever since the 'After Effects CC 2014' update my rendered files seem to be enormous in comparison to the files I rendered before the update!
I don't see why the update would have adjusted my render preferences, but it must have done as a 2min clip that rendered at 140mb before is now 10GB!!!
My knowledge of codecs and compression is limited but I had a good preset before the update which now seems to have changed (although I have always been rendering h.264/full quality/no audio so I don't understand how the file size can change so drastically).
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
If not could you please advise me on how to render these files to a suitable size. Like I said they need to be h.264, 1920 x 1080 with no audio.
Thanks.

After Effects CC 2014 no longer supports the output of many delivery codecs, such as Mpeg4 and H264, through the Render Queue.
You can output far more formats, and in greater quality, using Adobe Media Encoder. You can send AE renders directly to AME from After Effects. You can import AE projects directly into AME. And you can also render high quality and/or lossless formats from the AE Render Queue and then re-encode them from AME.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

Bridge CC no compatible with the new After Effects CC 2014 ?

Hi, I'm updating the Adobe suite (CC 2014) .but After Effects CC 2014 no longer works with the old Bridge CC (there is no update of Bridge). Since "browse presets" in After Effects when choosing a preset (dissolves etc) there is an error message:
"After Effects error: can not import file" Entries lum.-marq.calque.ffx "unsupportedfiletype or extension (0 :: 1). With all presets.
I tried on other computers with other adobe updated it makes such licenses except with the old version of adobe after effects (after CC effects) I tried too to change language of Bridge and After effects (beharps this is a langage compatibility problem) but the problem is the same.
So I think the new version after effects CC 2014 is not compatible with the presets adobe bridge CC ??
How can I do? I have to go through the old version of after to apply a preset Bridge? I can not even download it in cloud creativ ... there is only the new version of after effects...

Media Encoder/After Effects CC 2014 Only Export Audio

I've been having a strange problem with Media Encoder CC 2014 & After Effects CC 2014. If I try to export a comp either through Media Encoder or directly from the After Effects Render Queue then it only exports audio. If I bring the AE Comp into Premiere and export from there either by sending it to Media Encoder or exporting it directly from Premiere then it exports fine and gives me audio and video.
