After Effects CC Freezing, OSX 10.8

While using AE CC I am getting random freezing, especially with heavy comps (lots of footage based layers, long ram previews, ect..) and this gets logged into the console:
4/14/14 9:18:32.320 PM After Effects[11426]: -[NSMenu menuID]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x11455f820
This error is also logged:
4/14/14 9:01:16.882 PM After Effects[9909]: *** Assertion failure in -[NSEvent subtype], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1187.40/AppKit.subproj/NSEvent.m:2118
My system will freeze for several seconds, and sometimes if I have music playing in the background it will continue to play, other times everything stops. Any keystrokes applied during the freeze are rapidly executed when the system comes back. Sometimes a restart or shutdown is required to get the system back.
This only happens with After Effects.
System specs:
Mac Pro, Mid 2010
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
It hasn't always been this bad but the crashing and freezing started with a CC update earlier this year. Disk Cache has BEEN TURNED OFF for several weeks and it still freezes.
How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeff

What exact version number of CC are you using?

After Effects CS6 freezing when I import

Hey.
I have a problem with my After Effects. Everytime I import something, a few seconds after my mouse turns into "the spinning ball of death", and I can't do anything but forcequit out of After Effects. Then the next time I open AE, I hang on "Initializing Mediacore", but I know how to fix that. I have 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, and my Application Manager says that all of my Adobe programs are up to date (I'm running CS6). I run the trial version, and I'm thinking of buying it in a couple of days, just so you know I have the trial.
I am open to any kind of help, I have not uninstalled/reinstalled, and I have not tested with other footage than from my SONY HD Camera, and I've also tried with a Premiere Pro Sequence.
Thanks.

I found the problem. For some reason my camera records in 24.5 fps (very weird?), so after I changed that it worked. Except one thing, .mov files doesn't work. And let me answer those questions for you:
I use After Effects CS6 11.0.2.11, I'm using Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I'm trying to import .mov files, but it wouldn't work (that's my problem), so I changed to .mp4, but I would rather use .mov. Whenever I play the footage, whenever it shows up on the preview screen, my AE freezes. I do not use any thirdparty effects or codecs. My Mac-specs are:
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB memory and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB Graphicscard.
Rest is just no, except the last one. I make a new comp and import files. Now, if I preview the imported file, my AE freezes, but only if it's a .mov file. And if I drag it into my timeline, it can stay there, but when I try to RAM preview or play it, it freezes.
Hope this can help you find a solution.

After Effects keeps freezing!

So i have been using After Effects for some time now. It worked (almost) smoothly all the time until now. I suddenly started freezing after anything i do, it's getting really frustrating.
I can just click to search for an effect and it freezes for a minute. Sometimes i just move the marker on the timeline.
My specs are:
Intel Core i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz 1.60GHz
8GB Ram
64-bit operating system
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
Please help quick if you can!

It will be tough for people to help without additional help from you:

After Effect CS3 Freeze

Hi: Yesterday I bought and installed my After Effect CS3 professional. However, every time I start AE it freezes... can't do nothing...I have to force the AE to close. Anyone know what's causing this. I am using Windows XP with Adobe Premier CS3 Matrox RTX2. Please help if you know. thanks.

Hi Mylenium thank you for replying so quickly. When I launch AE in the splash screen while AE is loading...it says...3% of 2.6GB is used...then loads a bunch of things then displays in the splash screen cleaning-Matrox...and shortly after it loads and opens AE. As soon as I click the menu with my mouse it freezes and does not respond. I wait about a minute or two and it works for a few seconds then freezes again. here is the whole thing:
I have Matrox RTX2 LE and my graphic card is NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700. I am having major problems with this and I have to complete a project before December 28. Even installing this matrox is a nightmare since its very sensitive...where I have to install all programs and stuff and at the end install Matrox. Please let me know what I should do to resolve this issue.

After Effects CC freezes when importing PSD files

Version 12.2.1 of after Effects no longer imports Photoshop's PSD files (Photoshop 14.2.1 x64).
The last project I worked on was on 7th March 2014. Today is the 28th March 2014. What could have happened in the intervening three weeks I wonder?
An update to AE I'm guessing...
Is this a known problem?
Is there a fix?
How do I report this to Adobe?
Thanks in anticipation.
James

Hi Rick,
I made sure the images are RGB, but I don't know what simple means. Nor do I know how to make them the same size as the comp (composition?). I saved the images as Tif and PNGs and they imported without crashing. I literally have just opened to the first chapter of After Effects: Classroom in a Book, so please bear with me.
When I first imported a Photoshop file, AE crashed with this alert:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <140735304074000>
<SyncService> <4> CheckConnection: 3.
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
(Updated errors below)
As I mentioned, I'm following the instructions for lesson 1 in the Adobe book, After Effects CC: Classroom in a Book. The first few steps are to import a group of files. I import the footage files first, then when I try the .psd file, AE crashes.
Here are my specs:
AE CC 2014 Version 13.0.2.3
OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
iMac 21" late 2009
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
12 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB (I installed the CUDA driver on another account of this iMac--should only need to be done once, no matter whose account, right?)
Connected over wifi to a Belkin router.
UPDATE:
I switched my wifi connection to the 5 GHz band and tried again (since some online searches seemed to indicate this error message had to do with TCP) and got a new error when trying to import the .psd file:
<ALOG> <5> PSL AE Interface Cache Cache
created: /Users/[myname]/Documents/Lesson01/Assets/bgwtext.psd.
UPDATE:
Switched to ethernet, got the same <ALOG> <5> PSL message, switched back to 2.4 GHz wifi and still get the same message. I cannot replicate the first SyncService error message.
The Adobe Creative Cloud is connected to the Internet and can download other Adobe applications, however Photoshop Elements 6 shows a "No Internet connection" message when I try to update it. Adobe Acrobat Reader updates fine. I have also tried to import the file in with Root enabled, but to no avail.

After Effects CS3 / Mac OSX 10.5.4 / iMac / Importing CS3 Indesign file into CS3 After Effects

Hi,
I'm wanting to import a CS3 Indesign file into a CS3 After Effects file including all the layers. Is there a simpler way than importing it into Illustrator then dividing the layers then importing into After Effects?
Thanks
Will

Nope, not that I'm aware. Unfortunately AE does flatten layered PDFs, so that second option wouldn't work, either. It should however be possible to spit out each layer as a separate PDF from InDesign with a little work. Perhaps even someone already has created an extension/ command set for this, so I'd ask on the ID forums.

After Effects CS4 freezing with RAM preview audio?

Firstly, I'm on a mac. This problem just started a few hours ago after I made some system updates. When I hit preview in a comp with audio it runs through the frames, then locks up when it would normally start playing. I just get that dang spinning beach ball of doom. If I turn off the audio on the layer, it previews fine. I believe the only think I had updated when this problem began was upgrading to quicktime 7.6.2. Would this effect the RAM preview? Since the problem, I've updated AE to 9.0.2 and OS 10.5.7 with no change.
Anyone come across something similar?
Thanks

Mmh, well, seems ominous, but quite obviously QT is somehow involved. do you use any dedicated video hardware such as AJA or BMD cards? If so, the QT update may have introduced an incompatibilty with their drivers... Even if not using any such equipemnt, definitely check your QT system control panel. Also use OnyX to flush your QT components cache. They may just need to re-initilaized to function properly. Short of that I'm not aware of such issues, but anything is possible. If the issue persists, using Pacifist and downgrading your QT may be the only option. What Mac are you on exactly?

After Effects CS5 freeze on project load with missing files

Mac with 10.6.4
Open a CS4 project file with missing assets. It opens and converts to a new untitled document. Save the document and close. Open it again and it the application freezes up when loading the last bit of project files. Spinning beach ball forever. No error. It looks to be hitting a few missing files in the project but instead of putting up a "X number of files are missing since you last saved this project" message it locks up.
I tried to open the older file again and find or delete all the missing file references but midway through that process I got the beach ball again. Now it freezes up just loading the older CS4 file.
Any ideas? Much thanks.

Files are on two different external drives, as is the project file itself. What I have done is copy the project file to my internal hard drive, disconnect all external drives, open the file and... it opens. At that point everything is missing, right. But I cleaned up the file, tossed out anything that wasn't totally necessary (this file is two years in the making). I saved it. Leaving it open I plugged the drives back in and started to reconnect the files to their references. I made sure there were no missing files. Closed, quit, and restarted and it worked. I lost a few things but nothing I couldn't rebuild pretty quickly. I suspect one of the reference files was corrupt? Maybe not, because the project file worked in CS4. Maybe a 32bit to 64bit conversion issue? Not sure but I'm back up and running.
Thank you for responding. Hopefully this info will benefit someone else. Twas frustrating. These boards are a great resource.

Can't render in Premiere when I have After Effects open MAC OSX YOSEMITE

When I'm using dynamic link with AE files in my PP timeline I can't get it to render at a normal pace. It will start and then crawl for the simplest of tasks. The only way I get it to work is by clicking off of PP into AE and then back to PP again. Then all of the sudden it renders in seconds. Sometimes I can't even get it to playback at 1/4 quality unless I click off from PP to AE to PP again. The tasks I'm talking about are fairly simple as well. Something like a lower third graphic/text.
At work, I'm using an iMac 2013 3.5GHZ 32GB Ram Nvidia 780 4GB with the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.2.
I connect a USB 3.0 external hard drive dock and 2 3TB Western Digital Red drives formatted in NTFS using Paragon NTFS to access read and write. Using the Mac's internal SSD for scratch tracks.
This isn't a new issue for me...This has been happening for about 6 months. Was hoping updates would solve it but it doesn't see like it's being addressed. I'm assuming it's a Mac issue because this doesn't happen to my PC at home. Does anyone have any insight into this? Is this a known issue?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for responding.
Media is on an external drive (firewire 800)
I've tried again and found that if I wait about 1-2 minutes after the save bar locks at about 90%, the project does eventually save.
If I then quit out of Adobe Media Encoder, it still takes quite a long time to save, but somewhat shorter.
If I then quit out of Premiere Pro and relaunch, everything gets saved quickly, normally.
Like I said above, this seems to happen only after I've cued something out to Adobe Media Encoder.
Otherwise, things appear to be OK.

Can I use Adobe After Effects CS6 with OSX 10.10.2?

I have recently updated to OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
Adobe CS6 now says it will not run on this operating system.
Is there an update I can get without going to the cloud?

Also just had this happen to me. I switched from Windows to mac and AE doesn't work on 10.10.2, currently looking for a solution (if any).

After Effects CC: Quicktime is not installed on this system

Trying to find a solution for this weird message "Quicktime is not installed on this system" when starting After Effects CC on OSX 10.9.3 for days now, but nothing worked out so far. Read lots of threads to this topic and followed all the different kinds of instructions (like changing the firewall settings, deleting files from the preferences folder, reinstalling quicktime7, changing the default audio devices, deleting certain components, ...), but it seems hopeless. For some reason also Media Encoder CC doesn t start. Media Encoder CS6 works just perfect, like After Effects CS6 does too. Unfortunately I do need to use the mask tracker which forces me to work with CC.
Please help! What else can I do? Need to get After Effects going very urgently.
I m working on a MacBook Air 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB RAM.
Thanks a lot for any reply!!! Aloha!

Troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects

After Effects pausing for a second before playback

Once a prerender has completed after effects takes a second to start the visual playback. VO starts straight away. This corrects itself once the timeline has completely played through and starts from the start.
Any ideas?

As Rick says, this is a known bug with Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite).
See this:

After Effects cs6 crashes when scrubbing through the timeline. What do I do?

So whenever I scrubb through the timeline of my footage after effects will freeze, then crash. It happens everytime. Before I got the full version of After Effects and only had the trial, this would never happen. But once I got the full version it happensall the time. If someone could please help me it would be most appreciated. I am on a Windows 7 Home with 8gb of ram. My version of after effects is 11.0.4
