After effects clip doesn't appear in finished film

I have produced a short film in premiere pro with a 6 second after effects clip at the end. When I export it to encoder to produce a FLV/F4V film for youtube,the after effects clip does not appear even tho I can see it encoding and there is a 6 second blank film at the end. I don't understand this as I have done this a few months previously on another premierepro film and could see the after effects clip. I have repeated the encoding on the earlier film and now cannot see the AE clip. I have slightly changed the AE clip - only changing the font colour so nothing major. I am working with CS4
Any ideas as to whatis happening?

Hi Mark
It was a stupid mistake on my part - the AE project was set at 24fpm whereas the Premiere Pro project was set at 25fpm so I guess they were contradicting each other. I'm still not sure how this could have happened but I am glad I have sorted it. Thanks very much for your interest

After effects CC doesn't run on MAC PRO

after effects CC doesn't run on MAC PRO. Only the CS6 version run on this machine. What can i do. Thanks.

With my MACPRO it's impossible to activate the GPU.
What can we do. Now it's impossible to enable a video in AECC.
For information the configuration of my machine and the windows of error in after effect CC.

After Effects CS6 doesn't play sound of MTS file when imported to ae.

When I record a file on my canon hfr10 camcorder and imports to my windows computer, it plays sound when played when open with windows media player. But when i import to After Effects, it doesn't have the audio thingy near the "lock layer" button. It doesnt play audio.

The audio is probably on the wrong tracks because your recording settings were set to channel 3&4, not 1&2. AE still only does stereo and simply doesn't see extra tracks. no chance. you need to extract the audio in an external program and import it as a separate file. Premiere should be able to handle this, but feel free to use otehr tools.

After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup

Hello everybody, could you help me to address this problem? After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup. What should I do?
Best,
Oscar.

That is not a configuration that After Effects CS6 will use for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
See the After Effects CS6 system requirements:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html#After Effects CS6 system requirements
The Quadro K5000 was added to the whitelist for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects CC (12.0).

Adobe After Effects CC Doesn't recognize Alpha Key for imported DNxHD (.mov) clips

After Upgrading To Adobe CC, we faced a problem when we try to import our HD assets (Quicktime .mov Codec: DnxHD 1080i 120). they are imported as one layer.. there NO Alpha key.
These Clips dont have such problem when we import them into Adobe After Effects CS6.
Please Adobe, we need a fast solution. this is urgent.
Note that we tried to download the last version of AVIDCodecLE package with no result!
thanks for any idea.

ADOBE - THIS IS ABSURD - FIX THE DAMN BUG
Our studio waited until now to update - what a huge mistake, waste of money, waste of time. Fortunately, older versions still run fine on the systems we "upgraded".
We have years of assets that no longer work correctly in CC or CC14. We are a major production studio with literally thousands of assets that exist in a multi million dollar ISIS system. CC and CC2014 are worthless until this gets fixed. I'm sitting here looking like a amateur because nothing works. THANKS GUYS! - No, we're NOT going to go back and "re-render" all of those assets. We will just continue to use the no monthly fee Cs6, forever.
We will not be renewing any of our "contracts" until this bug is fixed (about 30 licenses). Back to CS6.

Can't open After Effects clips in FCP 7. Need a fix (and to understand why it happens)

I filmed some footage for a short film on a Gopro3, at 2k, 24p. I loaded it into After Effects (mac), removed the fisheye affect and exported it as a 1080p, H264, mov file. I did this to be able to remove the fisheye affect (caused by the gopro factory lens), yet have enough "information" to not lose quality in the correction.
Now I am looking to import this clip into FCP 7 to edit but FCP won't open. I get an error.
FCP 7 doesn't seem able to open it. Also, this always happens when the AE file comes out of a PC, and often happens when coming out of a mac AE prog.
My first question is, why does this incompatability issue come up? What's going on with the codec or file structure details, what causes this? I really want to understand the details because I'm always using various cameras, equipment, etc and need to be able to carefully plan equipment choices and workflow.
My second (just as important) question is how to fix it this.
Thanks.
Will.

FCP doesn't work with H.264 files. It might bring it in, or it might not. It might seem like it's working, but then sync drifts. It might look like it's fine, but when you export different sections jump to other clips. It's unpredictable.
FCP 7 and H.264 do not mix.
If you are exporting files out of AE on a PC, then look at exporting them as DNxHD...the Avid codec. or Cineform. Then the FCP user will need to install the Avid codec or Cineform in order to see the file, but then they should convert it again to ProRes 422...as working with non-FCP codecs in FCP can be problematic. I recommend those formats over the others, like ANIMATION or UNCOMPRESSED...because of the file size issues.
If you are using AE on a Mac, the same computer as FCP...then export as ProRes right away. Done and done.

Text from After Effects Project doesn't look sharp in FCP

I created a text sequence in after effects. Its rendered MOV looks crisp and clear but when I import it into FCP, the text looks jagged and the colors are less saturated. I also tried using the Media Manager to recompress the clip but it just doesn't have the sheen that the AE export does.
Why?

For one...
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format.
1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
Then for two, what settings did you export this from in AE? And what are your sequence settings in FCP? If you are working with a DV timeline, then your titles will inherit the DV 5:1 4:1:1 compression, and that doesn't treat text very well at all.

Replacing a subclip with an After Effects Composition doesn't work properly

I have a Premiere Project with DV PAL footage. I have gone through my footage and identified all sorts of subclips in my project, and arranged them into bins. For a few, on the sequence timeline, I want to replace them with After Effects Compositions so I can add some effects.
If I right-click on a designated subclip (or part of a subclip), and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition", After Effects starts up and I end up with an After Effects project containing 3 items:
- a composition called "MyProject Linked Comp 1" (duration: length of sub clip, but the comp's layer itself (the next comp) has a duration of zero, so I just see black)
- another composition called "My Subclip" (duration: length of subclip, starting at beginning of original video footage, not at start of subclip),
- and then the full original video file also called "My Subclip" (and I mean the full original video file that the subclip points to). This is full length.
The linked Composition is therefore viewed as being blank in After Effects, and is returned as such in Premiere Pro.
What does work properly is if I simply drag a selected clip (in/out) from the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro to the sequence timeline, and then right click and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition".
Then I end up with an After Effects project containing:
- a composition called "MyProject Linked Comp 2" (duration: length of selected clip, and the comp's layer itself (the next comp) has the correct duration, so I see the selected clip!)
- another composition called "My SourceVideo" (duration: length of full original video, starting at beginning of original video footage, not at start of subclip),
- and then the full original video file also called "My SourceVideo" (and I mean the full original video file that the selected clip points to). This is full length.
In this case the linked Composition is therefore viewed as being the selected clip in After Effects, and is returned as such in Premiere Pro.
So subclips don't work as I would expect them. I have also tried with a few different video formats. Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour, or even better, find a way to make it work?
I am running Windows Vista x64 Ultimate, 8GB ram, CS4
Message was edited by: bobbymacadobe - added system info

I had the same issue. Created multiple subclips from various parts of a master, mixed subclips on the timeline (all from the same master clip) and when I replace it with an AE comp is send it over with 1 subclip only (eg I had clips for showroom and warehouse, it only send showroom) so any refences to the clips it didn't send were blank!
So I had to replace all the clips with the master clip (I would like to know if there is a quick way to revert subclips back to master, had to do it manually and it was a pain) and now it is working fine. This doesn't mean subclips don't work; if all the clips are derived from the same subclip it worked for me.

Dynamic link between Premiere CC and After Effects CS6 doesn't seem to be working :(

I'm editing with RED r3d files. I have just updated to CC but it doesn't want to dynamic link with After Effects CS6

Hello,

CS6 takes my After Effects clips offline.

Hello,
I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 with 32 gigs of memory and an Nvidia Quadro 4000. I have a timeline contaning nothing but After Effects compositions that reside in three or four different AE project files. All were imported into AE CS6 from CS5.5 (it's a long-term project).
Here's the problem:
When I open Premiere Pro CS6 it takes a long time to populate the Project Panel and timeline with the AE linked clips. Some clips never populate and are replaced with red or yellow "media offline" placeholders. To speed playback, on the rare occasion I get a linked clip in every section of the timeline I try to render the clips. Some work and score a green bar (though clips with lots of effects take extremely long to render). Several render only partially before returning a "compiling error" message. When this happens, others that were linked and rendered can suddenly go offline. Sometimes the entire timeline becomes red placeholders.
A reboot and reopening of Pr used to fix this, albeit without giving every previously-rendered clip a green "rendered" status. Now the project rarely finds even a majority of the clips. None have been moved or renamed and all open up in After Effects. Going back and selecting a clip to relink it can work occasionally, but on several occasions has also caused neighboring clips to drop offline.
This is really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my CS6 problems of the past week. If I could just get my timeline up and showing green bars for segments I've already rendered then I would at least feel stuck in place, rather than going backwards.
Can anyone help?
Thanks much,
Gene

Hey,
I do not know if my solution will work for you. I have CS5.5 on MacBook Pro (2.2Ghz i7, 8GB ram, OSX 10.7.4) and I had bunch of clips where I had to stabilize them in AE. I used Dynamic Link for that. I didn't find any solution online.
I work on dual monitors so that's why these screenshots below look weird.
First I did, I opened an AE file, with dynamic links. I had 2 of them (2 projects). [somebody gave a good tip to keep all Dynamic Links in 1 AE project]
Second, I marked all the Dynamic Links which could not be found in PrP. I marked them in the files window.
Then I right click on them and "Link Media" BUT, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. PrP found the files itself. So I clicked "Cancel" in the window which popped up.
I don't know if there has to be that order of doing this. I was doing that first time and this is how I did it. Actually by accident.
ohhh. now I see it was in May... sorry, probably you don't need it any more...

Adobe After Effects CS4 doesn't support PowerPC architecture CPU

As installation of CS4 Master Collection, I notice that there are some applications missing. After Effects as well as a bunch of other applications have the warning "This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU". This is not good since its really the only piece of software I need.
Here are the specs on my computer:
processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 16 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X version 10.5.4
I spent quite a bit of money on this computer and putting memory into it. Is there nothing I can do? Some sort of inexpensive component I can change or add in order for After Effects to work? Thanks.

Just kind of crummy that since it comes in a bundle, as an option, that the bundle itself doesn't carry some kind of warning or wording about System Requirements.
Well the CS3 Production Premium box does have a warning, so I would presume that the CS4 box does as well. CS3's box says "System Requirements: Multicore Intel processor (Adobe Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Flash Professional, and After Effects Professional are universal binary and also work on a PowerPC G4 or G5 processor)." So, right there you can tell that Premiere, Soundbooth and Encore don't run on PowerPC in CS3.
I can imagine this happening to other G5 and earlier users.
Why is that? G5 PowerPC code runs on any G5 - so unless you're going to limit it based on CPU clock speed, the earliest G5s wouldn't be giving up anything to the newer ones except for overall speed, obviously.
Doubt it will be in the next upgrade.
I'd agree. At that point, even the newest G5s will be about 5 years old, and it's clear that Adobe is moving towards Intel only support rather quickly.
I wonder if Adobe is allowing customers to pick and choose what versions are in a bundle for the same discount. Swapping new for old, maybe.
Won't happen. Adobe's upgrade policies aren't very generous. Not only are the costs rather steep, but if you're upgrading from the standalone versions to the suite, your upgrade price is based on you owning one of the apps that's part of the suite in the new version. You get no extra credit even if you have all of the suite's apps as standalone versions (e.g. if you have AE, Illustrator, PS, and Flash, it's the same upgrade price as it is if you only owned PS).

Quality loss on After Effects clip in Premiere - See Image

This problem will be the death of me. Look at the image for more clarity on the issue.
It used to be fine, but now the AE clip renders blurry in Premiere and the clip renders beautifully
in AE but with moments of blurriness like its bouncing back and forth. I have tried exporting in both programs
as AVI, MOV, TGA sequence. Still no luck. Help?

The image is just small since the forum states that it will reduce the size if it is larger.
I figured it out... it hardly makes sense though since the problem wasnt cosntant, it was jumping around.
The clip was embedded within about 6 pre-compositions. The Premiere file originally did not use square aspect ratio
but I hacked it to change the it to square. The after effects files werent using swaure ratio so I changed some, only
to realize premiere was already compensating, so I changed it back.
Somewhere there was an error with the aspect ratio and the combination of effects and nested compositions made it freak out.
I previewed every step on full, set the nested compositions to retain quality and change all the pizel ratios back to what they were before. Problem solved.

I have no audio on my export, but ONLY on the portion with an after effects clip

Hi,
My footage is AVCHD 1080p MTS files taken from a Sony FS100.
I am attempting to export via media encoder using the 1080p 29.97 FPS YouTube Setting.
I threw together a premiere project and sent a couple of the clips to after effects to add some animations.
Upon re-inserting the clips into premiere pro and exporting them, I have no sound... but ONLY on the portions of the video that have data from after effects.
The preview in premiere plays all of the sound just fine.
Any ideas?

It wouldn't hurt to update AE either. The latest version is 11.0.4 (well, the latest version is 12.2.1, but you know what I mean).

After Effects & Premiere doesn't recognize AAM

Hello,

I tried to reinstall AAM but still no hope.
Please help me

Hi David,
Please download and install the Adobe application manager from the link below:

Line added to movie clip doesn't appear

Hi,
I'm trying to add a line to a movie clip. When I trace the width of the lineadded it traces correctly, but the line doesn't appear. If I do everything the same but add the line to the stage instead of the movie clip it does appear. I know this is one of those cases where I can't see the forest fro the trees but I sure would appreciate any insight you can give me.
Here's the relevant code:
var xAxis = new Shape();
graph_mc.addChild(xAxis);
xAxis.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x000000, 1)
xAxis.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
xAxis.graphics.lineTo(maxX, startY)
xAxis.name = "xAxis_mc"
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

Hi kglad,
Thanks for this. I helped me realize that I was basing the placement on the stage rather than the movie clip on the stage. When I moved the starting X and Y positions to 0, it appeared.
Best,
Chris
