After Effects CC is unusable

I recently updated to Mavericks (big mistake) and After Effects CS5 was no longer supported. I'm now using After Effects CC and I get a warning message that says Quicktime component isn't installed on your computer. Some features may not work. This means, I can export every type of file except video files — no mov or mp4. I've installed the update from February as instructed and tinkered with Quicktime preferences. I've removed third party Quicktime plugins, and read several dozen posts yet nothing seems to work. Please help me get After Effects running. This is awful and somewhat unbelievable a video application doesn't export video files. I'm running After Effects CC on a Mac with a Quad - Core Intel Processor. Mavericks, and have 150GB available. Thank you.

I do apologize for the outburst, but installing After Effects CC has been beyond infuriating. I am thankful for people like you who take their precious time to help other people in communities such as this one. Now, if you're still reading this and have not solved this issue, here's how I got After Effects working. Please read this email I sent to a fellow who contacted me about this exact problem:
Yes, I did get it to work but this was a huge hassle! I spent several hours on the phone with Adobe tech support who took control of my computer. I'm not sure what they did because they went deep into the support files, which may not have even had an impact.
The end result was that After Effects CC or installing Mavericks somehow damaged my permissions on my admin account. So, I need to contact Apple and get a new admin account and have them transfer my data, whatever that means. Or, and I don't know if this will work without the Adobe tech tinkering, try opening After Effects CC in your guest account. That's the only way it'll work on my rig for now. Furthermore, to get a successful QuickTime, click the format button in the render queue and select H.264. The Animation codec has conflicts with Mavericks. Switching the codec and opening from a guest account did the trick.
Furthermore, every edition of After Effects has run beautifully on my rig even while creating particle systems and having eight other adobe apps open simultaneously — the tech rep mentioned AE now requires 8GB of ram to run efficiently vs my former 6. Maybe this was one of the Apples ploys to give Mavericks away for free…
Hope this helps,
Eric

  • 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 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).

    System Details: MacPro (OS10.8.3) 2 x 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 24GB RAM, Radeon HD 5870 1GB

    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 CS4 Performance (BRUTAL)

    Despite the comments on this board (from Adobe themselves) claiming improved After Effects CS4 performance over its predecessor, my experience is the exact opposite. This version seems half baked to me.
    AE CS4 isn't just SLOW, and by slow I really mean dreadfully unusable, It's unstable as well. Even running the same template files that came with CS3 and 4, there's a huge difference in render time, ram previews etc. When you can't even rotate a simple cube without crashing, there's some real problems, and this is just the beginning. The previous version had no show stopping issues, it performed like a trooper. This latest however, I can't see how I could use it day to day for anything..
    There is no other software on this machine other than, CS4, Firefox, and Lightwave 9.5, which by the way, handles textured objects with hundreds of thousands of polys, not 6. I first get an error message that reads as followed;
    After effect error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Live Photoshop 3D"
    followed by, After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See... blah blah blah..
    By the way this occurs with or without OpenGl enabled.
    Systems specs
    8GB Ram
    Q6600
    Hard Drive space 4TB, install drive, 156 GB free
    Vista Business 64
    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS (driver 178.13)
    This is the same machine that ran CS3 very well, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this rig..

    Fausto,
    I have no problem importing or animating your PSD - no crashes, at least. The resolution is very high. I got better results by cutting the resolution of your PSD in half, which may or may not be an option for you. I improved responsiveness a little by setting the PS 3D layer to "Use Photoshop Transform" in AE.
    But ultimately, the responsiveness of the 3D layer in AE is impossible to work with, except with Live Update disabled. It seems like a RAM issue to me. What size are the texture layers on each side of the cube? If they're all 3000x2000-ish like your document, and you're working at full res, consider that AE has to hold all six images in RAM, plus manipulate them in 3D.
    My own sense is that the whole 3D layer thing simply isn't ready for that kind of resolution in AE yet. And probably wont be until true 64bit code allows the storage of all those textures in RAM more easily.
    As a side note, don't know if it's my location or your server, but your 74Mb image took me almost 2 hours to download.

  • When will After Effects CS6 get a retina update?

    I know there are people saying that After Effects works "fine" with retina, but they must not be as picky as me.  After Effects is not at all fully compatible, at all.  It's not even usable for me.  The content viewer does not support retina resolution and is stretched to roughly twice the size that it should be.  It's using Apple's percieved resolution and not actual resolution.
    This makes the program completely unusable for me as it doesn't accurately represent what is being rendered. 
    When where there be a fix for this canvas problem?

    I hate to throw water on your fire but AE is accurately displaying what would be seen for it's interpolated screen resolution with a retina display even with custom views, Photoshop, on the other hand, is showing you Actual Pixels so the image seems to be 1/2 the size as it would be displayed on a Retina display. I'd rather they fix Photoshop because it's way too hard to make pixel critical judgements in Photoshop at 100% scale than it is in AE on a Retina display.
    I'd rather see how it would look on the display than the actual pixels because the pixel density is so high on a retina display that it's nearly impossible, without a magnifying glass, to see if you have artifacts in the edges. The image size of an element in your Comp on a retina display will be the same size as it is on a non retina display computer with the same apparent resolution. IOW a HD comp at 50% on a 15" Dell laptop will be the same size as a HD comp at 50% on a 15" MacBook Pro R.
    This is why some web graphics look soft on a Retina display, They are scaled up approximately 200% when the website is not properly styled for high resolution displays.
    The same things goes for movies played on a Retina displaya. You're not seeing actual pixels, you're seeing a denser pixel pattern which does give you a slightly better image. That's all I'm going to say about it.

    The composition I'm working with does have 1 camera, and about 45 small 3D comps built into it. No lights. And all of the footage and data is on the Mac OSX hard drive. Which has tons of space available as you can see. I've played around with the settings in After Effects. But nothing seems to significantly speed things up. Any ideas??

    Hey PJ,
    I've been using CS6 since it was released, and while it's got a bunch of great new features, it's basically made Multi Processing unusable unless we're talking about the simplest of comps.   I'm working on my second short using AE as the total animation package, and render times for complicated 3D comps (NOT using ray tracing) have tripled.   MP used to take forever to spool up, but was fast once it got rolling.  Now, disabling MP gives me 3 or 4 times faster rendering, which is still MUCH slower than MP is CS5.5.  SOmething has deflineitly changed for the worse, as i'm using the same machine with the same settings and virtually the same comps.
    I acutally just yesterday had two animators quit on my because they couldn't meet their deadlines.
    I think After Effects is the hydra of programs.  They kill one feature and two more fill its place.  Unfortuanly we traded functional Multi-processing for falloff lighting and etc...  The puppet tool was it 3 version of after effects before it was stable.  I'm hoping we don't have to wait til CS7 for MP to sort itself out.
    I really don't understand the "deal with it" aspect of the posters here.  Surely a functional program that delivers on it's promises is the goal of this forum.  We're not asking it to make us a sandwich.

  • Alternative Free After Effects Programs To Adobe After Effects

    http://www.blender.org/
    http://www.debugmode.com/wax/
    http://www.cinefx.org/
    Well.. I didn't see any discussion here about alternative after effects programs for free here. I was looking in a folder that I download programs to, and I came across a few programs that I had downloaded to it but didn't install them until I am ready to use them, I even forgot I had them since using PreE 2, I use PreE 8 now. They are free alternatives to Adobe After Effets. I did a little searching on these programs on cnet.com and found they are still downloadable and some have improvements. Try them out if your interested in compositing to video for your projects. I am going to install them and check them out since now I have a few projects under my belt and move on to more complicated projects. Reply back to this post if you have used any of these and leave some inputs as to how well they work and which is best.
    Thanks
    Junior

    Yea, I guess Unix and Linux...I guess it was made for those OS's...I really went out of my way to do my homework on this as far as being a good free tool to use...I don't understand why it didn't come with an uninstaller for Windows...I understand it's free and all...but I feel that as an author/creator there should be some kind of documentation to let users know that certain things take place differently for other OS's it was intentionally meant for. I am in negative state of mind right now because I had to go through the process of reinstalling so many programs back to my computer (Internet Explorer, Music Programs, Photoshop, PreE 8, Zips Opener, etc, etc, etc. to many programs to list which it rendered unusable.
    As far as going back to restore point...that was a big mistake on my part...a while back I caught one of those free Anitvirus 2010 program auto installers from visiting a website and it was a nightmare trying to get rid of it and one of the procedures to remove it was to turn off restore point, well I forgot to turn it back on after I removed it off my comp.

  • Re-Linking After Effects CS5 files

    I moved an After Effects project file and now it is not linked with several of the files within the project.  I tried using the "create proxy" "replace proxy" and "replace footage" but in all cases, the file is imported with the name of the file on the stage and appears to be unusable.  What is the proper way to re-link files so that they actually work.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the reply.  No I did not know about that command (collect files).  For sure from now on, I will manually put all files in the folder with the project just to be safe.  It's too late to run it now, I have everything moved. 

  • How can I reduce the file size rendered by After Effects?

    When I render a relatively simple 5 second project in After Effects, the file size of the resultant .avi is 64MB.  If I change the properties to reduce the file size, the degradation makes the file unusable.  What am I doing wrong?

    Is AE's encoder really that inefficient? 
    The thing is, AVI doesn't mean much.
    It's pretty much an empty container box, which doesn't imply a quality level.
    So, AME could default to something completely different as a starting point to produce an AVI file.
    AE defaults to uncompressed video when you pick AVI as a format. So, obviously this produces huge file sizes. There could be similar quality thresholds with smaller sizes if you pick other AVIcodecs, but that's a different subject. And in any case, when you're rendering a production quality master,  file size is usually not your main concern. You typically use this high quality video file as a source for compressed flavors for distribution. So, pristine video files with huge sizes are a good thing - people then wonder why trailers at apple.com, for instance look so good. And the thing is, the most compressed formats benefit enormously from having an uncompressed file as a source.
    Regarding encoding efficiency, yes, AE is less efficient than dedicated encoding solutions. Above all, because it doesn't support 2 pass encoding. Note that for some formats, 2 pass makes a night and day difference, while for others, nothing as drastic as most users seem to believe.
    All of this is a moot point for AVI, because the default AVI codecs don't offer these encoding options, which are more the realm of distribution formats like FLV, MPEG-4/H264 or WMV.
    There are distribution codecs which use AVI as a container out there, but those are a different case.

    Hello all,
    after trying to install the standalone updates failed, also rendering photoshop and illustrator unusable, I've managed to solve the problem with this procedure (I'm on os x):
    - run the cleaner tool
    - remove ALL apps, all versions
    - checked my applications folder for 'adobe' applications folders that might be left and deleted them
    - manually deleted all adobe utilities in the utility folder
    - manually deleted all the adobe folders under application support (both in the system and user libraries)
    - downloaded the latest adobe application manager
    - redownloaded + installed necessary apps
    - ran updater
    everything went well. A funny thing was that after After Effects was installed, while everything else was being downloaded, I've ran the standalone 11.0.2 updater and it worked fine. After the installation of the rest finished, I tried the standalone updaters for Illustrator and Photoshop I had downloaded yesterday, and both of them failed to install.
    So I ran the updater and it managed to update all apps automatically.

  • Premiere pro and after effects ,,,  linked?

    can anyone help me? does anyone know  how you save a linked project to come back to at a later date?
    sometimes when youve linked a premiere pro project to after effects and you dont have the time to finish it , how can you save the link and load it back up at a later date to finish? 

    Hi Mat,
    I think I've found at last the solution to your problem; it doesn't seem to me very logical but anyhow it worked so as the French say goes " against ill fate, good heart" (not sure this should the proper translation!)
    As to be in your position I worked with my project in the same way.  Briefly my project includes a prologue of the Eruption of Vesuvius of 79 AD which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the time line I have some shots of the Vesuvius, in total some 30 seconds split into 4 or 5 clips.
    My purpose here is to eliminate from the Vesuvius' cliffs any traces of the actual XX-XXIst century life, roads, trails, cars, observatories, trails inside the volcano of scientists going to take measures.
    For this I used the Clone/Stamp effect. I did not use the tracker method because:
    a/I'm not familiar with it,
    b/ the shot is practically static, hence not the use of the tracker method; the helicopter's movement has been obviously slowed down in post or may be while shooting and it is very stable. you have on 1st picture the original footage a
    After some 900+strokes I decided to stop and encode the project as to check how it all looked like. Amazing! lol! The music gives you the creeps in the pyroclastics surges views! Cecil B. de Mille can give back his apron! lol!
    But  I realized that at a particular moment when the helicopter's parallax with the Vesuvius had changed significantly then the border trail was again partly visible especially the triangle where the seismic observatory is located today; you can see clearly some strokes which were not done correctly and have to be changed on the preview in the second picture.
    Original footage
    Preview of the clone stamped lip of the volcano
    As i had saved my AE and Ppr Projects and closed the programs I was in the exact situation of yours. I opened Ppr and when I asked the program to reopen the modified clip in AE, It did so but the layer was absent! So I decided to open immediately the AE project saved earlier and then I found my layer made my new corrections and saved again the AE project while in the meantime all the new modifications were automatically transferred in a new instance visible in the project panel. I transferred this on the time line and cleared the old one.and to make sure I would not make mistakes later, I used the remove unused command in the Edit menu.
    It shows here(the cerulean label above my AE projects bin) :
    As I'll do again such operations I'll create a dedicated bin for these kind of AE projects to differentiate from my regular imported AE projects into Ppr.
    Final state of volcano at the same place:
    I don't know if this is the right procedure but the fact is it works and what makes me furious is that unless I have to change my spectacles or consult immediately an ophthalmologist , I have not found a trace of explanation anywhere in the help files online, I've checked numerous videos on youtube by young, middle aged or seniorissimo specialists tutorials and no one treat that very elementary aspect problem you and I had to deal with. Of course for someone working in the business  for 100 years it's obvious, but thank god I don't intend to wait till I'll be perfectly gaga to find this kind of solution. Nothing is superfluous in an explanation, never forget what happened to a poor animal whose mistress put to dry in her microwave with the result you may imagine. She had the courage to sue the manufacturer for not having stated in the manual that a microwave was not a hair dryer! And she obtained an enormous damages settlement!
    I hope the old bag I am has procured you the solution, I'm just an amateur and likely to remain so, as to paraphrase Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady!
    Claude
    PS:
    A s for the use of different versions of programs:
    First: as advised by all the guys here I've taken the habit to use the full version of CC and not to mix an older one with a new CC one; I use here AE CC to its latest version and Ppr  CC at the same updated moment. So there won't be discrepancies due to slight changes which create compatibility problems. I've had a huge problem once and it served me as a lesson. By the way I also have set up the autosave of all my programs to 5'.It can be annoying but when a problem occurs you're glad not to have to redo 1h work!
    Two: during the full development of a project I never change the version of CC with a new updated one for the same reason. I check myself if there has been new updates but do not apply them automatically.

  • After effects error cant fetch cmaps

    I am using After Effects from CS4 premium in Windows 7
    I am having this problem after installing Cinema 4D
    "Can't fetch Cmaps" and "Unknown BIB error, can't fetch cmaps"
    this only happens in "Standard User", if i change previleges to administrator , AE works fine.
    Before instalation os Cinema 4D it worked fine and now i cannot open AE has "standard user" .
    Does any one have a hint about this issue?

    83 :: xx errors usually refer to some issue with fonts, but it would seem odd that this should be related to just installing Cinema 4D. still, I'd definitely check the permissions on your Windows font directory. I'd also check the graphics settings and whether you assigend a specific graphics card profile that may not be compatible with AE. BIB error actualyl means that something cannot be drawn, but the resource is actually available. This may point to some buffer settings being wrong, an unusal screen resolution or the program simply not being able to communicate with the graphics driver due to user privileges missing. if all else fails, adjust your group policies to allow all users to modify and load system drivers.

  • How do I make After Effects CS5.5 preview in full FPS?

    I have After Effects CS5.5 and whenever I put a clip into it and try to play the clip in a preview I get a message in the player that says its playing at a certain frame rate out of the frame rate it should be and then in parentheses (not realtime). How do I fix this because the average FPS I get on a preview is around 9 FPS which for me is unusable a lot of the time.

    To answer your question directly, don't push play!  AE can't play a thing because it was never designed to.  Do a RAM Preview by hitting zero on the numeric keypad.
    And since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
    The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time.  It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
    So how do you get the basics?  You go here: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html.
