After Effects CC won't go past "Mediacore"

Hi,
I have been having a nightmare of a time getting AE to start up. I am pretty sure I've done everything that the tech sheets say - including deleting 3rd party QT importers, and installing the latest patches.
I have also installed the downloaded "patch" to up the software to 12.2, but that doesn't seem to take (or care). On top of this I have tried reinstalling it multiple times. I've used the cleaner tool, to remove all of Adobe CC, just AE, and so many - many combinations thereof.
But it still will not open AE and hangs on the splash screen. Then you go to force quit and it gives the "not responding" note and you're done. I am just short of running my computer through dishwasher.
Thanks for any advice.
-Scott

Bought a Quadro K2000 Video Card, After Effects CC Won't detect it?

I recently bought a Quadro K2000 for some simple 1080p video editing and rendering. Now there comes the problem, It seems like After Effects is not detecting the card, CUDA is enabled and the card is supported in the list. I have tried many solutions but unfortunately I still have this problem. Also with rendering a video my CPU still takes all the load instead of the GPU, therefore it goes really slow, 5 minute render takes up to 2+ hours. I bought this video card so my render also got quicker but it seems like After Effects just won't use the GPU for rendering. I have Ray tracing 3D rendering on.
Can someone please explain to me why my Quadro K2000 is not used for rendering the videos but instead it still uses my CPU. I hope the $500 was no waste of money for this card.
Thanks in advance,
Sjoerd

You have given us little information to go by. What exact version of After Effects? What operating system. Show a screenshot of your GPU Information dialog box in After Effects.
The Quadro K2000 was added to the list of cards tested and supported for use by the ray-traced 3D renderer in this version:

Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6?

Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6? How could I solve this?
Thanks.

Hi, it's been a long time. I'm sure it was something silly I was missing. I'll be thinking about it, as soon as I remember I'll let you know.
Maybe if you tell me what kind of message is AE giving you or something would help me to remeber.

After Effects CC won't update

Hi,
After Effects CC won't update on both my computers.
Every time I try to install the AE CC update, the installer asks me to close AdobeCrashDaemon to continue.
After quiting AdobeCrashDaemon and checking Activity Monitor to make sure it's not running, the installer keeps asking me to close AdobeCrashDaemon.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Kristiaan

Hi Jeff,
I checked the installation log file and found the error notice:
ERROR: DS015: Unable to read symlink target of source file "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Adobe After Effects CC.app/Contents/Frameworks/mc_dec_amr.framework/mc_dec_amr"(Seq 4)
I opened the folder Applications/Adobe After Effects CC, and can't find the rest of the /After Effects CC.app/ etc. path inside it.
What would be the next step to solve this?
Thanks,
Kristiaan

AFTER EFFECTS CC WON'T UPDATE - Error U44M1P28

After Effects CC won't update, I have tried everything... Need this fixed ASAP, fed up!

if that's an 'update not applicable error', you should probably uninstall, clean and reinstall per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

After Effects CS5 Won't Start on Mac OSX 10.6.3

Production Premium arrived yesterday, and having tried all the software, After Effects is the only one that won't start.
I'm pretty sure my computer meets the spec needed.
I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor, at 2.66 GHz, with 4GB of RAM and loads of hard drive space. Premier Pro works fine, it's just After Effects.
Help!

I am having similar problems to those described above. I have Master Collection CS5.5 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8. The full suite had been running fine until late October, at which point After Effects stopped loading on launch. Illustrator and Photoshop start and run without problems, but After Effects will/would not launch. It hangs while loading MediaCore. When I launch in safe mode, I get an error with the Verdana font, so I've addressed that problem as suggested above (see my notes below). I successfully launched After Effects one time last week before uninstalling the Master Collection and taking all the steps outlined below, but the software has since refused to launch at all. I have not made any major system changes in the past two months. The most recent change I've made that might be relevant is the installation of FinalCut Pro, but the two packages have coexisted without incident since summer. I regularly use VLC, Quicktime Pro 10 and Quicktime Pro 7, but I have not made any changes to these recently.
Here are the steps I have taken:
delete user preferences
remove VLC and Quicktime
run software updates on Mac OS; my last update was a Java patch in late October; roughly coincides with when my troubles began. There are no ATI/Radeon patches available for Mac OS 10.6 that I can find, and I believe that the system's "Software Updates" provides such updates
completely uninstall and reinstall Master Collection and install software updates using "Updates" within Photoshop (have done this sequence three times)
remove font list ("AdobeFnt11.1.lst" and "AdobeFnt11.lst") in /Library/Applicatio support/Adobe/PDFL/9.0/fonts
use Appzapper to remove After Effects before reinstalling it
boot in safe mode and launch either from .app file or from Package Contents/MacOS/ terminal executable
remove MediaCore components completely by placing them on the desktop
Please help. I can not afford to lose production time on this machine.

After effects CC won't start in Mavericks 10.9.3

I just reinstalled OS X and updated it. I didn't realize that the 10.9.3 update was out until I found this problem. Anyway after al the OS stuff I installed the CC programs I use but after effects doesn't start. I know that there are compatibility issues between mavericks and after effects so I downloaded the last update from the site (12.2.1). The problem is that it won't install the update either, it says that it's not compatible.. What can I do? I'm stuck with no AE at the moment..
Thanks

The file name of the update I downloaded from adobe.com is "AfterEffects_CC_12_2_1_ftr.dmg", maybe there's a multiple version or some localized version to use since I use italian version of CC. For reference the 12.0.1 update file that I still have it's called "AfterEffectsTrial-12.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate" (opening that ends with the same result now, with OS X 10.9 was working all right).
Thank you

After Effects CS3 won't open mp4 H264 videos

Hi people.
I've just bought a Samsung HMX10 that captures video footage directly for mp4 files with H264 codec. The problem is After Effects won't import any of the files recorded by this camera and gets the 'unsupported filetype or extension ( 0 :: 1 )' message. Premiere accepts the same files just fine. Is there a way to make After Effects use the same codecs as Premiere and/or some software to convert this files to some AE friendly format without losing much quality?
Thanks

As Sébastien said, convert or transcode it. Other alternatives to putting it into a QT container include for instance using tools like SUPER© to adjust the stream structure. Making AE use the same routines like premiere is not possible, but it wouldn't do much good, anyway, I would say. While Premiere can simply ignore things like open GOPs or other "bad stuff", AE can't, as it always needs to reconstruct a full frame for processing. Also be aware, that there is a million minor varaitions on the theme, as every camera manufacturer seems to have his on philosophy on teh matter, so some incompatibilities are sometimes inevitable. In your case however, these issues may already be covered in CS4, so if you have the time, consider giving it a spin and possibly upgrade to it. in the long run, it may be more efficient than always haveing to take a detour and the better integration with Premiere via Dynamic Link may also have additional benefits for you...

Premiere (and After Effects) CS6 won't open anymore!

     Hi everyone,
Recently, I've been working on a project which required a dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere CS6 on my MacBook Pro, which runs OSX Mountain Lion. Everything worked great until yesterday, when I got an error message that said something along the lines of "Adobe Premiere has encountered an error. We will try to save your project and restart Premiere again".
     I re-opened Premiere, and although the same thing happened again a few times, I was finally able to get back to my project. Today, however, the same message appeared when I opened it again. I went through the same routine again, opening it and then exiting out, but this time, it didn't work.
     Not only is Premiere not opening, it is no longer even showing the error message. It simply goes to the loading screen and the the infamous "Spinning Beach Ball of Death" appears. I've force quit multiple times and re-started my computer with every application closed. I've also relaunched Finder (I honestly don't think that would help, but I tried anyways) - still, the loading sign freezes and the SBBOD appears again.
     Instead of sitting there trying to fix it and wasting my time, I tried opening After Effects to at least work on the linked compositions that were in my Premiere project. I then get this message before After Effects force quits automatically:
"Last log message was: <140735255806336> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."
So, apparently this has something to do with my GPU or CPU? I'm not really that educated when it comes to GPUs, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a CUDA Driver Version 5.5.47 on my computer (I'm not entirely sure how it got there in the first place...), and System Preferences has been notifying me that it needs to be updated. I heard somewhere, on a different forum, that this may have something to do with it, so I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of the driver, although this just turned out to be the same version (5.5.47) that I already have (which seems to be the newest one).
So, what do you think I should do? Is there something very specific that should be done? Does it have something to do with this CUDA thing? Is the best option to just uninstall and then reinstall?
If you have any ideas, let me know!
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
Also, for the other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

After Effects CC won't import short video files

I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.

After Effects CC won't connect to Dynamic link

Hello,
I am getting an error when starting After Effects CC saying that it can't connect to Dynamic Link. I have read over the threads for this error, but my firewall is off I have removed the third party codecs from Library/Quicktime. This worked once, but then went back to getting the error.
I updated to the most recent version of OS X and after that I get a dialogue box when launching a project saying it has conected to untitled.ppj with a cancel and OK button. the OK is grayed out, and if I hit cancel, After Effects hangs.
If I launch a Premier project with linked After Effects compositions those never load.
I am running OS X 10.8.5 and Adobe updater says everytihing is up to date.
there are two adobeQT32 processes running in activity monitor (and two crash daemons as well)
I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for trying to fix this. Thanks.
Patrick

thanks for replying , yeah i cant seem to find any solution maybe i will try and contatc adobe techinical support on monday , although they might just say to reinstall everthing as well . Thanks Anyway
