After Effects CC stopped working with QuickTime files

I can not reliably use QuickTime (Animation or ProRes codec) in my timeline. I also can't export to QuickTime. I believe accepting the latest update to CC or my system software initiated this problem. I did not have this problem last week. I have converted all of my source QTs to .PNG sequences and .AIFs as a work-around.
System Details:
CS 6 CC | Mac OS 10.8.4 | MacPro5,1 | 96 GB Ram | PROJECT & MEDIA drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | CACHE drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac | CUDA Driver: latest update.
Troubleshooting Info:
• I've read this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-with-after-ef fects.html
• I don't have Blackmagic or Aja, but I do have Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac with the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers. I'll try uninstalling... but I may want to raytrace in the coming days.
• I've trashed the 12.0 folder and rebooted many times
• repaired permissions
• Multi-threding on/off doesn't matter
update
• "QT32Server process" appears then disappears Activity Monitor when I try to render ProRes (output module fails...)
• No firewall
• Uninstaled Nvidia driver. Restarted. Same problems.
and then
• Created a fresh admin user. This seems to work for now: I can read and write QTs through AE again. I'll update if there are any changes.
update again
• Once again, I can not import ProRes QTs into AE CC. Making a new user only worked for 2 launches. The only software I used with this system/new user was Adobe AE CC, PS CC, and Safari.
Any suggestions?
Best,
Benjamin

Hello,
My team and I have been following this thread - we've been having very similar issues. Namely the 86::2 error and "MooV file is damaged or unsupported."
We had these issues on two machines from the first time we ran Ae CC and Pr CC early last week and were on OS 10.7.5. So we did a clean install and upgraged to Mountain Lion.
System Info: CS 6 | FCP 7 | 2x2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon | 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC | NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048 MB | OS X 10.8.4 | Latest CUDA drivers | AJA KonaLHi drivers 10.4.4 (we have moved back from 10.4.5 upon reccomendation from AJA tech support.)
The second machine is the same as above, but with 20 GB of ram.
(Red Giant plugins were installed after the crashes on the clean install)
We are networked with an XSAN.
On my machine, the first listed above, I seem to have stemmed the issue in Ae by uninstalling Premiere. Without Premiere none of the problems in AE occur.
On my clean install the timeline of app installation went: first FCP, then Ae, then Pr. When I installed Premiere the problems arose again, 86::2 error and MooV error and the issue still arrises on the 20 GB machine when switching between Ae and Pr.
I hope that makes sense.
We will troubleshoot the Quicktime files tomorrow. I hope this can be helpful!
Thanks.

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
Greetings,
Daniel

If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it. No guarantees, but it may help. For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that. AE wasn't.

CS6 Premiere Pro and After Effects have stopped working :(

After installing the AdobeCS6 I removed CS4 by using the Creative Cleaner Tool. Now Premiere Pro and After Effects don't work and windows wouldn't tell me what the problemm is. The rest of the CS6 is working fine apparently. Do I have to un-install then re-install all the CS6? Is it normal that the CC Cleaner tool do this? ... Thank you!

Advice around these parts is not to remove older versions after you install a newer one, because this is exactly what can happen. If you want to get rid of an older version, do that before you install the new one.
So yes, you may well need to reinstall.

Working with Quicktime files on your timeline.

I'm working on a project where I'm using clips from previously created videos that are in Quicktime format. I'm also using some footage straight from my DV tapes. When I go to export this project, many of the clips are off. They'll be of slightly different footage (right before or after the desired clip), the timing will be off, transitions are in slightly different places, etc. The clips straight from DV are preserved, but the other ones come out all wrong when I export it to DVD Studio Pro or as a Quicktime file.
(I also put those clips from previous Quicktime movies on my timeline and then the next time I go to view them on my timeline, they're of a different scene and do not play the way I left them.)
I have been using Final Cut Pro and other editing softwares like it for many years now and have never come across something like this. Does anyone have any insight into why clips from previously created videos are not preserved in my new project and the movie I export comes out with the clips/timing all out of sorts.
I appreciate any help!

'Quicktime' or the '.mov' extension isn't a format, it's a wrapper, ie- a brandname that is stamped on anything 'made' by/for quicktime.
To find out the true format of these problematic clips, open them in QT and press cmd+i to get basic info, or in FCP, select a clip in the browser or timeline and press cmd+9 to view item properties... here you will actually see the true format.

After Effects CS6 stopped working after Mavericks install

I started getting a - You cant use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CS6 with this version of OS X 10.9.1 - You have Adobe After Effects CS6" 11.0 - all my other Adobe CS6 programs are working - photoshop, premiere, bridge ect. Is this a delete and re install or is there a way around this problem?

You have to run the update for AE. You may have to use the uninstaller and then re-install. I'm guessing that this started after you ran an update for your OS.
When you ask a question assume that we know nothing about your system or your history with that system. We can provide better help if we know if your system worked before, what changed, and anything else that pertains to your problem. Something as simple as an automatic update to your virus protection can kill another app.

After Effects CS5 stopped working, seemingly randomly.

So, I was working on a project one night (nothing new there) and the following morning I came to open After Effects and the thing loads but just sits not responding. This is after all the all the modules and plugins have loaded and you are left at the workspace.
I know I was playing with some services the night before, but I can't think for the life of me how any of the alterations would have affected ae. I have backtracked and reset some but to no avail.
Since the problem I have tried updating AE as well as my graphics drivers (ati 4870). This is on win7 64bit btw.
Appreciate any comments, I'm tearing my hair out. Also to note; no other CS5 apps are affected and I have yet to attempt a reinstall.

Thanks alot for your reply.
Trashing the prefs did not do anything unfortunately.
I do not recall touching those services, but that does not mean I did not I guess. But not only that, I could not find them in the services list nor in startup. Baffled..
I'm not sure why my firewall might suddenly kick in and be blocking this, no changes were made in this respect.

After Effects CC not working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2

Hello.
Today I downloaded the trial version of After Effects CC and when I opened it I got this message.
I am really angry seeing that I need After Effects to do a project. Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
AngrySc0rpi0n

Did you check system requirements? What else is running? If you have enough ram, enough screen resolution, and enough free space on your drive AE should run.
Something may be conflicting with AE. Did you try a re-boot?

How can I update After Effects CS6 to work with Mavericks?

I bought CS6 in September and now I have updated to Mavericks on my Mac. It says it won't run on Mavericks? Is there a new download? I don't want to move to Creative Cloud, I just want to keep my purchased version.

Adobe After Effects CC and CS6 require updates to be compatible.
Download the latest build for After Effects CC (12.1) at http://adobe.ly/AE_CC_12dot1_details
...and After Effects CS6 (11.0.3) at http://adobe.ly/AE_CS6_1103

CS6 After effects Pro Import AAF with R3D files

It can't find the footage, because it appends an ".mov" to the footage name it searches for.
Example: the file name ist "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D", but Pro Import searches for "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D.mov"
How can i fix that. Because replaceing 100 footage files is an idiot work to do.

UPDATE: I searched in the forum and throwing away the DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component seems to have been the solution for me! Running smotthly until now!
Thanks!

Remote Not Working With QuickTime 7.3.0

Hi I just upgraded and realized my frontrow remote has stopped working with Quicktime. The remote works with VLC, iTunes etc but not QT. Forget about scanning forward or backward it cant even adjust the volume. I never had the problem before. I have tried playing both avi and mp4 files.
I run Tiger and have a macbook

As a follow up -
I spoke with Apple Support about this and was routed to a few people who were helpful, and moved it up to the engineers of Keynote (and the white remote?) for a solution.
A few days later I received this reply:
Hello Eric, I have heard back from the engineers about this. It looks like as long as Keynote 6.0 is present on the system it will default to using the remove in that application. If you remove Keynote 6.0, which we would not recommend, then you can use Keynote 5.3 with the remote. Presently though this is normal and expected behavior.
I replied by expressing my disappointment that this wasn't functional, since I'm not comfortable using Keynote 6.0 yet. Short of uninstalling 6.0, the only workaround I have found is to use the iPhone/iTouch Keynote remote app, or make a duplicate copy of your presentation to be opened in 6.0 (and using the remote there).
