After Effects CC disk cache error on startup w/ immediate crash

I'm running a GTX 780 with 32GB of RAM, x1 240GB SSD (on which AE is installed) and x1 2.5TB HDD. Both show that they have more than enough space to cache the 10GB recommended by AE, yet whenever I open it up, it prompts a message box informing me that my disk cache folder is on a drive that does not have enough available space specified in my preferences. So I click OK, thinking that I'll be able to change this, but AE immediately quits as soon as the message box disappears. How can I change the preferences for AE without actually opening it? Or am I going about this the wrong way? Please help, Adobe Support was just about useless in this situation.

It's weird that your permissions fixing didn't fix it.
It's almost always that. This page suggests it and some other fixes: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
Also, try running CC (version 12) and see if it works.

Is After Effects CC disk cache taking up double the space on my RAID 0 SSD? Should I move it?

In AE CC the available space on my RAID 0 (2 x 120GB SSD) drive drops from 100GB to around 40GB as soon as I do even a small RAM preview and even though I have set the disk cache in the preferences to 30GB. It also causes AE to prompt that I may not have enough space on the drive for the amount of cache I have set in preferences even though there appears to be 40GB left on it.
I really value working with long fast RAM previews but other than that I'm not sure if the performance is jeopardised at all here. At one point I was enjoying 60GB of disk cache.
RAID 0 is striped so it shouldn't take up double the space, am I right?
I am about to install a RAID 0 HDD (2 x 3TB) for source files as I work with video a lot and have a 4K RAW project on the go so no time like the present. So should I move the disk cache from the ridiculously fast RAID 0 SSD to the new RAID HDD drive (as suggested in Harm's guide)?

Thank you Mylenium. All this time I have been absolutely convinced that you don't need to defragment SSDs. Is this a complete misunderstanding? Even if you do though, I have Windows 8 (not 8.1) which is doing that once a week automatically (apparently even to SSDs).
Are you saying that the 30GB disk cache set up works like a contiguous file?
i7 3930k (12 virtual cores) on P9X79 Deluxe
2 x 120GB Force GT Raid 0 SSD on SATA 6gb/s is my boot drive as well as where I keep programs and the disk cache. I do a disk clean up to remove temp files a couple of times a week but that's all.
1 x 3TB Barracuda on on SATA 6gb/s for back ups and exports
3TB Lacie on USB 3 for source video and project files
2TB Lacie on USB 3 for archive projects
660ti 2GB
I'll try a manual defrag of my RAID 0 SSDs now.

whenever i try to open my after effect it just says error 15 n dont work plzz help me out

We cannot know. you are not telling us anything about your system, what kind of project, what footage etc. We don't even know what version of AE!!! In any case, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall the program. If the issues persist, we realyl need a lot more info to help you.

After Effects Invalid Table Address Error 83 :: 2

So, when I want click on Effects -> Animation Presets -> Text -> and use the animations in there, I would have the error of After Effects Invalid Table Address Error 83 :: 2. I'm using Adobe After Effects 2014.2 Release Version 13.2.0.49
Other of my adobe products are working fine, even media encoder and premiere pro.
My computer is windows 8.1, 64 bit.

Sounds like you have a corrupted font. Try changing the font in the Text Panel to something common like Arial before you add text. If that doesn't work examine your font list for some odd fonts.

After Effects Ae dynamic Link Error

I was just trying to open after effects and it did not respond.I was using AE since a week.The error never came before.
First of all After Effects starts after five minutes after clicking on it.It first hangs on "Initializing Mediacore" and then it crashes on "Cleaning Up AeDynamicLink".
I have searched on Google.I found nothing, so thought to post a thread.
I have checked for any virus or malware.I have cleaned the registry.I have performed a clean re-install of after effects.
And it also doesn't detects Quicktime.
Look at the video for more details- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE4-tTzmIQk
My PC -After Effects CS5.5,6
            Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
            Intel Core i5 Quad Core
            4gb Ram
            500gb Hard Disk
I tried what was here -http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/startup-screen-hangs-premiere-after.html
But that didn't work.
I deleted the prefs file as i have seen in some posts but it also didn't work.I copied QT dlls in After effects folder but that didn't work either.I shutted down the firewalls and antiviruses but no change.
I have re-installed , rebooted , made new accounts but nothing worked.
Please Help !
Additional Information
In addition I have problem with executables (exe's). They do not start at one click, I have to click them again and again and again.They start normally at safe mode.I thougt to tell this if it could help.
And there's no problem with the registry as some exe's start fine.
When I click Run as Administrator , it says you do nat have proper permissions to access but I am the only administrator and there is no other account.

What do you use it for? All the codecs I need for professional work are included with Adobe (barring Cineform and Avid's DNxHD codec which are downloaded from reputable sources, such as Avid).
It's cool that you have a computer that has k-lite and is working, but the number of problems I've seen that have been due to k-lite have been staggering.

After Effects unable to render error -1610153464

I use Adobe CS6. Today, I upgraded to CC. I work on a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM, and the latest OS X, Mountain Lion. Here's my dilemma.
Although I own the CS6 Master Collection, I have never used After Effects. So, I am an AE newbie. For years I have mainly used the other apps, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, InDesign, etc.
I wanted to prepare a presentation for my company. I purchased an After Effects template that I liked. http://videohive.net/item/new-company-presentation/5182042
When I opened the template I received the following message: "After Effects: this project must be converted from version 9.0 (Windows) and will open as an untitled project. The original file swill be unchanged."
After quite some time creating and preparing all my samples in a Quicktime movies I was ready to customize the AE template.
Following the AE template author's instructions I was able to customize the template, editing text, importing my movies. When I added the "Final Comp" to the Render Cue, and then started rendering, I immediately got the following error: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '/Users/...Final Comp.mov'. An output device module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (-1610153464)"
I tried rendering the original unedited file. Same error.
I tried researching solutions.
I turn off my firewall. "blockage in the communication between After Effects and the Adobe QT32 Server." http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-with-after-ef fects.html
I tried removing a third-party Quicktime importer components. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/startup-screen-hangs-premiere-after.html
I tried exporting the file from AE to Premier Pro. But, got the following message when opening the file in Premier:
"The preset is used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, then install any third-party components that are required and reopen the project." Note: The author of the AE template said that no external plug-ins were used, that everything was created in AE.
Also, when opening the file in Premier, a "Load Project" window open listing the following:
"Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Color Control
"Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Fill
"Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Slider Control"
I attempted to do a render from Premier anyway. But, got the following error: "Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed." I checked, They are!
I finally "bit the bullet" and upgrade to, and installed the Creative Cloud version of After Effects hoping that this may be a solution.
Today, I installed After Affects CC. This time when I began the render, AE started to render. Then, after a couple seconds of video being generated the same errors reappeared!
Can anyone offer some guidance as to how I can get this resolved?

Today, I created a whole new project. Imported an Adobe Illustrator file with five layers. One background layer, the rest were text layers. The entire project is 11 seconds. I made some minor effects to the text in After Effects, position, and opacity. Went to render it, and the same error appeared.
I have the error log file if it will help.
Please help.

How to fix a bad After Effects CS3 disk?

In 2007, I got the CS3 Master Collection. It took me over 2 days to get almost all the applications to install properly. I ended up copying all the DVDs to a common folder on the desktop and running the install from there. I've used this technique a few times for hardware upgrades since then with one error every time. Everything but After Effects copied/installed - this particular disk kept throwing out an 'unable to read blah, blah' error (hey, it was a long time ago). This was documented and traced to a bad batch of AE DVDs and folks had the option to apply for new disk.
Being a still image person doing mainly Photoshop and InDesign, I kind'a just forgot about it - until recently when I finally started doing some video using Premiere Pro. Anyway, it looks like now the only way to get a working version of AE is to upgrade the whole Master Collection to CS4 (!). For a whole bunch of $$$ reasons I don't see that happening for a while. I emphasize that I am the legally registered user of the suite - I just need a working copy of AE CS3 to install from. Any ideas?

Maybe I'll have my wife do it, and break down in tears halfway into describing my dumb-assed neglectfulness. That’ll cost me something

Should be noted that all the other adobe software installed without any problems.

It says what it means: Download the MSVC runtimes from Microsoft and install them manually.

After Effects CC (AERENDER) licensing errors for multiple CORE renders on a SINGLE machine.

I am hoping someone can assist me with an issue I am having in After Effects CC, or know who I should reach out to.
I currently use SMEDGE as a render farm tool. It can launch multiple instances (per core of a licensed machine) of aerender to render a project. This was worked beautifully on CS6, but with CC is breaks. It shoots out the following error: "After Effects error: Unable to obtain a license. Please run the full application to correct the problem or get a more detailed message." My machine is licensed with me logged in and I can run AE CC GUI with no issue.
Is there a way to activate multiple aerender nodes on a single licensed machine? I have an 8-proc machine that used to be able to launch 8 instances of aerender on CS6, since A.E.CC, no more.
Any help would be appreciated as it has cut my render time down drastically.
Thanks,
-Eric

Yes.
... though we think that what we have in store for next year will make such little hacks seem silly. (We have a large portion of our team working on some projects that should make folks like you who want faster rendering very happy.)

When installing After Effects I get an error U44M1l210

After Effects "Output Module" render error & rendering advice

Hi all,
I've been working on an AfterEffects project for a few weeks and never had a problem with rendering it before, but in the past few days it has started giving me error messages every time I start a render.
After rendering about 48 - 60 frames of a 2 minute long composition (it doesn't seem to hang in the same place every time), the render freezes and I get this error message:
After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects.
The project is really huge -- about 1022 3D layers, mostly all created in Photoshop, as well as some Quicktime movies. Motion blur is turned on for everything. Although the project is big, I have a 3D camera that animates through the scene, so not all the layers are onscreen at all times.
I haven't added anything significant to the composition lately, I've just been adjusting keyframes, so that would lead me to believe the render isn't failing because of a corrupted element.
I'm using Adobe After Effects CS5, Version 10.0.2.4. I have some 3rd party plug-ins installed (Trapcode, Magic Bullet Looks, Optical Flares), but I'm not using any 3rd party effects on this project, though I plan to in the future.
I'm running the project on a 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with 14 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, using OS X version 10.6.8.
Here is some information about my project:
1280 X 720, Square Pixels, 23.976 Frame Rate, Rendering Plug-in: Advanced 3D. For my preferences, I don't have "render multiple frames simultaneously" checked, and I keep 4 GBs of RAM reserved for other applications. I also have OpenGL disabled.
And finally, here are some screenshots of my Render Settings and Output Module for this project:
I'd really appreciate any feedback or advice on how to troubleshoot this error. And I'd also love to hear if the experts on this board have render settings tips or advice on how to set up my render preferences for my particular machine.
Thanks and hope all is well,
Dan

Hey Dan,
Really nice post in regards to info provided initially. It's rare to see that these days.
The weird thing in your screen shots that I see, is that in your Output Module Settings, the audio bit-depth settings seem to be grayed out for some reason. Are you using some sort of audio hardware that is customized, or perhaps some compressed audio in your project? Here's what I mean:
Thoughts? Aside from that, your project does sound as if it is pretty intensive, so I'm sure the problem could be occuring elsewhere...

After effects cs6 trial install errors

Hello,
I am trying to install the trial version of After effects cs6. I installed the entire cs6 master suite and everything worked except after effects. I tried again from the master suite and then with a separate after effects only installer(all from adobe's site) always getting the same results
here is the error summary:
I am trying to install on a new macbook retina, I had installed the CC trial but it has run out. maybe I need to uninstall Creative cloud, but all the other programs installed with no problems so i am not sure why its just after effects.

Thanks so much for your help, but i am encountering some issues with the log. In the link you posted I was directed to look for the log in library>logs>adobe>installers and that the file would consist of the product name/install date and end in .log.gz
However I can't find and file that meets this description or even an installers folder inside the adobe folder
^this is all that is in the adobe folder, and both these folders are empty.
There is another folder called adobe downloads which contains these files
which still don't really fit the description provided.
am i doing something wrong? or should i look somewhere else?
thanks again

Hello Travelander,
Welcome to the Forums. As Mylenium has already mentioned that the issue could be with the permissions, you may try to run the program as an administrator and check if it opens up.

After Effects Alert when opening (Error: Mount Point list is empty)

I am so confused right now. I have searched everywhere for a solution to no avail. I have a brand new Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 12-core intel Xeon e5 with 32 gigs of ram. I installed Reelsmart's Motion blur and when I tried to re-open After Effects I got an After Efects Alert that reads.
Last log message was: <140735179719440> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty

Can anyone help please! I'm on a tight deadline and I'm grounded.
Thank you, thank you!!

thank you

Your updates went all wrong and messed up things with MediaCore. I recommend you download the standalone installers for the updates for all related applications (AE, Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere) from the support pages and run them. If that doesn#t solve the issue, then I'm afraid you'll have to do a full re-install. Run the CS4 Clean Script before re-installing.
