Premeire CS4 and After Effects CS4 not working

If this isn't the place on the forum to post this please say so. Every thing was working until one day after effects started making my image sequences alot smaller than usual. I could find no help for this, so I restored my computer. After it got done restoring After Effects wasn't installed. I restored it to when it had been installed. This confused me so i tried to re-install it using the package that you download from the trials(I'm using the trial versions). It got to about 80% loaded(Not 80% installed, the installer was 80% open) it froze and wouldn't go any further. I had to use Ctrl Alt Delete to get it closed. I reinstalled the installer many times, but the same thing kept happening. After this happend I figured I could live without the After Effects Trial. Adobe Premiere worked perfectly untill I tried to export to a media file. When I do that it comes up with an error. When I click the error button a text file comes up with a bunch of numbers, also it says something like "This operation was canceled by the user". I didn't do anything to cancel it so I have no idea what's happening. If you need the text document posted please say so. Thanks for your help I can't figure out what's going on.

I'm trying to export to .avi, but the weird thing is was it was working before the whole thing with after effects.

I bought the production premium , cs6 , and I download it and registered with out any problem , I formatted my computer then I downloaded the collection , now everything else working only after effect is not working , what shall i do

After Effects lights not working

I am working in After Effects CC. I added a light to my scene and it just turns all of my 3d layers black. I am a very seasoned AE user. I have worked with lights before. I don't know what is going on here. It's not a draft mode issue. And my lights are not behind my layers or anything like that. I have found other people in the online forums with this problem from over the years but never a solution. Ambient light is the only light that works. Spot, pin, and parallel turn everything black. Thoughts?

Once the problem presented itself I started fresh with a new project and very simple comp and still had the same problem.
So my settings are pretty straightforward.
I am using After Effects CC (not the 2014 version)
I have one 3d solid that I pushed back in z-space. It is set to receive lights.
I am using Classic 3d.
I created a new spot light.
The settings are as follows:
Intensity: 100%
Color: white
cone angle 90
cone feather 0
falloff smooth
radius 75
Falloff distance 24
Casts Shadows on
Shadow Darkness 20%
Shadow Diffusion 0
If I turn my light off you see my solid. If I turn it on you see only blackness.
If I add a 2d layer you can see it. Once I make it 3d, it turns black.
Thanks for any advice you have. I'm guessing I probably need to do a clean install or something because this is crazy. It's not like I've never used lights before. They just up and stopped working.

After Effects CS4 not installing

No, sorry, all wrong. First, let's get the obvious out of the way: You cannot extend the trial. With your incorrect attempts at "fixing" it, you have effectively ruined it completely. Even if you can revive it now, it will tell you that your trial period has expired and that is that, as they say. Only buying the full version will allow you to continue work. That aside, the only way to get it installed correctly once more would be to use the CS4 Clean Script from the support pages to wipe the installer database. This will make it look like there never even was an AE on the system, with the exception of the licensing system. When using it, you should also uninstall other Adobe software first. The script doesn't cover things like Adobe AIR, Acrobat.com etc., yet those can often be a cause for trouble during installs. Those tools have to be manually uninstalled to not get in the way. Well, anyway, as I said, this is most likely moot, regardless of your efforts...

.AVI files into after effects do not work? how do I fix?

When I record with my vivitar dvr 840xhd camera, and try to import the files into after effects. The files import into after effects just fine, except the little icon of the video is all grey. But when I put it into the comp and try to view it. The whole video is only a black screen. I try to watch it and find out that the audio works in it. but not the video. Throwing it into media encoder and trying to convert it only does the same thing, just a black screen with audio. But when I play the file on windows media player it works just fine. I have After effects CS5 and I run windows 7. Anyone have any good anwsers? Perferably one that does not reqire another program video converter to put it into the file type I. I tryed that before with many other video converters. I either loose quaility. If im filming in 60fps, it is reduced to 30fps. I can only convert so much in one clip. And most leave watermarks. I would much rather be able to import these .avi files into after effects without the wait and annoyance of a 3rd party program. Thanks for the help.

Probably not. AVI is just a generic container format and without any more info we will not be able to give you any proper answers. Even their website doesn't give any specifics. Use GSpot or MediaInfo to find out what CoDecs it is using exactly. Since the camera is based on Flash memory, though, I already get this ugly feeling it is using some atrocious non-standard MPEG4 derivative nad that would mean there is no chance at all to use it directly in AE...

After effects 4 not working

Hi, sorry i didn't know where to put this question. I have an old after effects 4 for mac that doesn't install at all. is this not compatible with tiger? is there a way to get it to work?

Check the System Requirements of AE 4, I think it only runs on OS 9, and if you do not have Classic install on your G5 (note: Intel macs cannot run Classic anymore), when you insert the installer nothing will happens, or when click there'll be no response.
Cheers

After Effects CS6 not working on yosemite

I upgraded my MAC OS from Mavericks to Yosemite and After Effects suddenly does not work. It says that the version cannot be used in the current OS X version. I have searched and did all the suggested solution available on the internet. I have reinstalled and installed after effects CS 6 and downloaded the updates (11.0.4). But it says that the update is not applicable for the product. What is odd though, the other CS6 programs are working properly other than After Effects. What should I do? any help??

Try fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
Then try updating within another Adobe app.

After Effects import not working

Hi there!
New Premiere user here, just switched from FCP working with Production Premium 5.5.
I created an AEP. I created a Premiere Pro edit. When I import the AEP with either Dynamic Link or direct import it goes fine, except that it's black in the timeline or preview monitor; simply nothing appears. What I see as a great benefit of working with After Effects and Premiere is being able to put AEP's in the timeline, which is exactly which doesn't seem to be working.
What am I missing or doing wrong?

Very hard to say, but just for fun, drag and drop the AE comp link in the project window onto the New Item icon. This will create a new sequence just for that comp (which you can delete later if it doesn't work). I'm just interested to see if creating a new sequence that's based exactly on the AE comp settings solves this problem for you. It's a long shot, but worth a try.

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?

After Effects Bridge not working

I have seen other posts advising to reinstall (did that) but the bridge does not come up when I go to Annimation Presets or File / Browse in Bridge. It worked yesterday but not today. Can anyone get me on the right track to getting this working again? Using Windows 7, and Adobe CS5 Premier.

I suggest you watch your task manager if there is even any attempt to launch Bridge. If there is any activity, it may simply be that Bridge got stuck in the wrong directory and now cannot find it. in that case you should consider trashing the Bridge prefs in your user home folder. Likewise, consider trashing the AE prefs...

Audio Spectrum on After Effects CC not working? (AKA it's still.)

Okay so I put my audio file in and then I make a new solid layer. After that I put audio specturm on and put the height on 1000 changed the colors and fit it to the screen. Problem is when I play it, it doesn't move. Sometimes the audio plays but the entire line is still. Will that go away when I export it or is this a problem I need to fix in the program?
P.S. I am using a Macbook Air. Don't know if that makes any difference... :/

Well, have you actually referenced the audio layer in the spectrum effect? What audio? What channels? What volume settings? you need to provide more information.

After Effects CS4 Sniffer_gpu is not working

After Effects was working fine a few minutes ago and then the next time I started it up it suddenly gave me this message that sniffer_gpu had stopped working. After that, it said something like "After Effects can't continue:sorry. After Effects have crashed". I've been searching all over the internet only to see that no one was able to solve my problem! During the time where it last worked and the time where it began to NOT work, I did not install any weird software or close down anything - I was simply trying to open a project file.
After Effects did not work even after I've ran a deep care scan on Advanced SystemCare Beta. And I have no idea how to access the "product details" of my computer to give further information. Please help me, guys! I need an answer ASAP!! I'm a book trailer maker and I need After Effects working! I have a deadline I need to meet! >.<

Uhhh... you have to restart the system? I always put my computer on hibernation since I have lots of programmes working mid-way and I don't want to close them and then find out where I last stopped. Is hibernation bad? I tend to get Windows Updates and within a few hours my anti-virus software goes from A grade to D grade!

Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes After Reinstall

Hello Adobe Community,
I come to you asking for help, my After Effects CS4 stopped working after reinstalling Leopard, I already reinstalled my Suite and Runned the Clean Up Script and still not working, first I launch the App and shows me the following error: "After Effects has encountered an error: [/Chinchillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MedialLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEP luginVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]" then I click continue and then it shows me another error: "After Effects can't continue: An Output contract violation has ocurred!" then it shows another error: "After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore" then it shows this "After Effects warning: Media Core is not correctly initialized" then it launches and freezes and shows that the app quitted unexpectedly, I'm sure that the app is dead but I already reinstalled with no success.
Im Running:

After Effects worked and runned perfectly Please Help!

Hi Mike,
Sorry you are experiencing problems with After Effects.
I have a couple of questions....
- did you install from a download, or a CD? if from a download, please download again, as their may have been issues
- did you update it to v 9.02?
- did you have a previous beta version on your computer?
- you said you reinstalled Leopard - did you do a clean install? (ie reformatting your harddrive and starting clean)
I have experienced issues on the mac with a variety of different applications is I do a 're-install" vs a clean install.
Finally, are you aware that the minimum RAM requirements for AE CS4 is2GB
So since you only have 1GB, it could be a RAM issue.
If you decided you want to try reinstalling before doing the more difficult task (reformatting Mac OS X with a clean install), I would run the cleanup script first, redownload, install, and then update.
Here's the link: <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html>
good luck,
