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 - Compressor could not be found

    I have used After Effects in the past and I haven't had any problems. But, tonight I had an error message while opening the program.
    It said:
    After Effects warning: a compressor used in an output module template could not be found. The animation compressor will be used instead. ( 44 :: 18 )
    I click ok and the program crashed without opening.
    I tried opening it several times but I kept on getting this error. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it pulled up the same error again.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    The last time I used After Effects was during the summer of 2014 and it worked fine.

    I have After Effects CS4 and my operating system Snow Leopard.
    When I mean it doesn't work, I mean it won't load up when after it pulls up that error message. I'll click on the After Effects icon, it'll load as usual, then it'll pull up that error message.
    After Effects warning: a compressor used in an output module template could not be found. The animation compressor will be used instead. ( 44 :: 18 )

  • After Effects CS4 WMImport.AEX not loading

    Hi,
    I just installed a fresh OS and CS4 and AE throws an error when I load it.  Can you please help me figure out how to fix it?
    The error is:
    After Effects error:  plug-in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Plug-ins\Format\WMImport.AEX" could not be loaded (126).
    (48 :: 46)
    The machine is a dual xeon quad core 2.5 SuperMicro with 16gb of memory and several TBs of storage.  The OS is Vista 64 SP2, with all of the updates applied.  AE is version 9.0.2.  I've uninstalled AE, and reinstalled it, with the same error still coming up.
    All help is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    As Steve said, re-installing Windows Media Player seems a good idea. Manually initiate a Windows Update and check, if you are offered to upgrade to WMP 11 or if it's already on your system. if it is, then you may need to download the Windows Media Redistributable package and install it manually. The plug-in may be looking for an old DLL or registry key that is no longer used by WMP 11, but usually would be on your system when you ran the updates from an earlier state. Also consider installing an alternate Media Player like VLC. This may also fix the misconfiguration of the Windows Media components.

  • Hi! After Effects CC 2014 do not work with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

    After Effects CC, Premiere Pro CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014 work correct with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

    Uninstall the Blackmagic drivers and install the latest version.
    If that doesn't help, make sure you are using a comp size that matches a frame format supported by the Blackmagic card.
    Rather than repeat myself, here are other threads where I've replied about similar issues. Please read through them.

  • Adobe After Effects Multiple instances does not working parallel using Scripting

    Hi all,
    i am uploading after effects template to my site, user came and upload his desired contents.
    i update the template using scripting with user's contents and then render video so user get video with his uploaded text/images etc.
    its working perfectly when i update a single template at a time but when multiple users come at the same time then they need multiple instances of after effects
    so i open multiple instances of after effects by using "-m" with after effects shortcut
    after looking at windows task manager there are both instances but the problem is
    only once instance continue and the second one stop, after completion of first instance the second one still in pause status
    i need 2,3 4 or whatever instances to work parallel without pause/stop
    i am using windows server 2008 R2 with XAMP installed

    Hi Lal XaDa,
    Would you please post your script to help us to troubleshoot?
    In addition, if you can use Windows Powershell, please try these ways:
    If a script needs some speed-up, you might find background jobs helpful, you can use the cmdlet "start-job", for more detailed information, please go through this article:
    Parallel Processing in PowerShell
    You can also use the cmdlet ForEach -Parallel in powershell workflow to handle script in parallel.
    For more detailed information, please check this article:
    about_Foreach-Parallel
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
    Best Regards,

  • MP4 File in Adobe After Effects CS4 Only Plays Audio

    So, I recorded some videos of Just Cause 2 on my PS3, and transfered them over to the videos section, I then put the videos on a USB flash drive, and put them on my computer, where I tried to open them in Adobe After Effects CS4, it didn't work. xD
    It pretty much has no video, only audio.
    But if you play the actual file with a player like Windows Media Player, it'll play fine.
    I've tried changing the file extension to Mov, WMV, AVI, and every other one I could think of. And it'll only give me an error saying it's probably not a supported file type xD.
    Oh, and I also have other mp4 files that will open in AE fine.
    Any help would be awesome.

    Transcode the file using tools like SUPER©, MPEGStreamclip, ffmpeg and so on. There are too many flavors of MPEG 4 out there that AE could handle them all and this seems to be exactly one such case.

  • After effects cs4 not working

    Hello i am german and 14 years old so please be sorry for my bad english I have a question to after effects cs4! I installed the demoversio a half year ago but i never used it! Now i want to test it before i will buy the full-version! But if i start after effects it only says accept the lizens and then nothing happens!

    You are not asking a design question. Please repost in the Premiere or After Effects forums.

  • 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.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 will not load to Snow Leopard

    Recently My hard drive crashed. I reloaded Snow Leopard on my computer and all of my support applications.
    I attempted to load Adobe After Effects CS4, but it would not load. 
    I read where others had problems back in 2009.
    Is there a fix for this problem?

    Mmh, something is leaking. Are there any other Adobe products on the system that use MPEG CoDecs (Premiere, Encore, Adobe Media Encoder). If so, my best guess would be that those are not installed correctly or were messed up during an update or so. That stuff is shared by all apps and while your system is not ideal, it certainly should work and not give this error. Depending on what is going on, only a full re-install of everything might fix it, though, unfortunate as it may be. So make friends with the CS3 and CS4 Clean Scripts from the support pages, set aside a good afternoon and take some deep breaths...

  • 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:

    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,
