After Effects CS5 - Rendering Help!

I recently got AE CS5. When I had CS4, i would always render it as a Windows Media File (.wmv). But now in CS5 when I render it as that, it just messes up. The size of the finally rendered HD clip will be no more than a few hundred KB's, and sometimes won't even play. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Provide more details about your settings, which version of Windows and where you are storing the file. CS5 being 64bit, there could be any number of issues caused by the differences of 32bit vs. 64bit, including some very rudimentary Windows stuff not related to Adobe....

"Installer Failed To Initialize"? After Effects CS5 Mac, Help!!!

I'm in serious need of some help here. I downloaded the After Effects CS5 trial, but when I go and try to install it I get an error:
"Installer Failed To Initialize. Please Download Adobe Support Advisor To Detect The Problem"
I already tried Adobe Support Advisor, but it didn't detect any problems.
I tried re-downloading the file again, but still no luck.
I'm running an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.2, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
Can anyone please help me?

Hi. I see this thread is old...last post is july 2010. However, since I just had a similar issue and since a google search brought me here, i figure id share my info with other who my hit this too...
i have os x 10.7 and am trying to install cs5.5 master collection. i kept getting the installer failed to initialize error.
by looking at the PDApp.log, i saw an error and fixed the issue causing the error...
my issue was when launching Install.app, it looks for ~/Applications and creates a folder "Adobe" in it. I had an alias in my home dir and the log showed the installer didnt see it as a valid directory.
by removing the alias, the installer then created the folder "~/Applications/Adobe" for me. However, since it created an empty folder named Applications, separate from the actual /Applications dir, this was not acceptible.
So, if i right click on /Applications and hit "Make alias" and move that to my home dir...same issue.
But, if i open Terminal.app and type "sudo ln -s /Applications" the seemingly same type of alias or "symbolic link" is created, but instead the installer see the dir as valid, and the install went flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone.

After Effects CS5 Trial Help

Hello,
I've just downloaded the after effects cs5 30 day trail onto my mac osx 10.6.7 .
I've imported my footage that i want to edit but can not use any effects etc. when the effects tab is clicked there is nothing there apart from 'matte'.
Does the trail come with no effetcs use?
Cheers

If you consider a complete lack of knowledge of the application as a problem, then you've got a problem.
Instead of thinking that you know how to use AE intuitively, you need to begin at the beginning:

After Effects CS5 rendering with 48 cores and 96 GB of RAM

My company is trying to put together some new machines for our render farm. Currently we are considering building a system with 4 12-core CPUs and 96 GB of RAM. Theoretically this would mean that After Effects could render 48 frames simultaneously, but I've never heard of anyone running AE on this many cores. Does anyone have any insight on whether or not this would work well?

What kind(s) of source footage? What format are you rendering and exporting to? Tell us about your hard disk setup (since demands for reading source data and writing output will be high).
Start by extrapolating from the recommendations here. You need to make sure that you're not overscheduling your processors and starving processes of RAM.

PLEASE HELP!! Weird screen glitch in After Effects CS5.5?!? (Windows 7)

I was editing some videos in the trial of After Effects CS5.5, and I went to render something in full screen (I've been using it for two weeks now, and i've rendered in full screen before) and suddenly a bunch of error messages started popping up,and After Effects closed out. Now every time I open After Effects, its like the screen zooms in: I can't see my taskbar or my tools for after effects, or anything on the edges at all. Production Premiere and everything else works fine, but After Effects is always like this now. I've searched all the help centers, and google, and youtube, and I've found nothing. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling the Master Collection trial but it still came up in full screen.
PLEASE HELP I only have 12 days left on trial and I'm trying to finish one last video.

Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't do it, Reboot, Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then re-install AE. If that doesn't work let us know. It's probably your preferences.

No Audio In After Effects CS5.5(Even after rendering)

I currently have the After Effects CS5.5 Trial Version installed. I am running into a bad audio problem. For the first 2 days I have used it, the audio was fine, it played automatically and I didn't even have to render first to get it. Then, the third day, I got on that day and the audio jsut flat out didnt work. I did look it up on the forums and google, and nothing helped. I have tried rendering(with audio), using different video files and clips, and even reinstaling the trial. Nothing worked. The RAM Preview plays sound fine, and when I double-tap "L", the soundwaves do show, and they are accurate when played on the preview. I have tried WMV, AVI, and mp4 files, none of which have worked. I can edit and add effects and import picture and other files fine, but the audio simply doesnt work. I can't get audio by playing it normally.
I know it is not usual to ask questions about the trial, or to even have them answered, but this is important because I want to buy After Effects CS5.5, and before I do, I need to know if this is a computer problem, or if I did something to mess up the program, or if there is even a way to solve it. I don't want to buy it and realize I can't even use it with audio for some reason.
P.S. I am fairly new to this, so if you blast me with some complex, in-depth instructions, please try to make it rather simple, or just explain it well.
Thank You and sorry for the inconvenience,
Chris Madaras

> I can't get audio by playing it normally.
You said that audio played when you used RAM preview. That is how you play audio.
See this:
"FAQ: How can I play or preview sound (audio)?"
...and this:
"FAQ: Why is there no audio (sound) in my output file?"
Since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you work your way through the materials here:

After Effects CS5 DNxHD rendering problems

Hello folks, I posted this last month, but still haven't worked it out. My problem is that everytime I try to render a quicktime from After Effects CS5 using Avid's DNxHD codec, I get this error, about 60 - 100 frames in: "Rendering error while writing to file (path name here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464) I've tried rendering to different drives, rendering with and w/out multiprocessing, with and w/out Open GL rendering, different comps / projects, and different flavors of the DNxHD codec (8 bit, 10bit, 145, 220, etc). Here's my basic system specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit
Dual 6 core Westmere Processors
48GB Ram
Quadro FX 3800 1.5GB (driving 2 x 24" HP monitors)
GeForce GT 240 (driving a Cintiq tablet)
I have another system, same operation system, but with dual quad core Nehalem's and 16GB Ram and a Quadro FX 3400 and it renders to DNxHD just fine. I'm certain I have the latest codecs from Avid, and I've tried both the LE and PE versions. Any thoughts?
Nate

It's a bug in the CoDec itself, if I'm not mistaken. I've seen this being discussed somewhere, but can't remember the full details. I believe the issue oils down to the Avid stuff using an older version of some compiler library and not dealing correctly with some SSE stuff on some processors. You may try to toy around with the BIOS settings to suppress SSE4 and 4.1 and see if it helps. Also consider installing the .NET runtimes. They still have those magical healing poweers, as the install resolves any version conflicts that may exist with outdated system DLLs bundled with some programs. That may also help. In the long run, though, I think Avid will just have to update DNx to properly work on 64bit and those new processors...

Help Error (193) After Effects CS5

Hi dear friendsI just installed After effects cs5 and sends me this error and I opened, I was looking for a long time and can not find the solution, but it says the message I give here more info on my pc, and hopefully I can help solve this I do not understand.
This is the error message

I am not surprised by that. You need more memory on your computer! You went from a computer with only 3 GB RAM to one with just 2 GB RAM.
Personally, I would not try to run AE on a computer with anything less than 8 GB RAM, and I would not try to use multiprocessing with it. I would not try to use multiprocessing unless I had 16 GB RAM.
After Effects uses a lot of memory. You are in desperate need of more memory. Until you get more, you will be unsuccessful when you use it.

After effects CS5 crashes when Previewing or rendering

I installed after effects CS5 on my mac last night and it crashes every time i want to preview or render a sequence. I have CS4 installed on the same machine and the same project works fine. I have spoken to Adobe support three times and gone through the same questions with them (three times) and nothing seems to help.
I have installed the same copy of After effects onto my laptop and it works fine - the laptop is running OS 10.6.2 and my main machine is running 10.6.3
I have tried deleting prefs and Open GL drivers but these also do nothing to help
Any ideas would be most appreciated?

Mylenium you are a star!
I'm not sure which one of your answers it was but it was one of two things. I deactivated all my fonts as well as removing the quicktime codecs from my quicktime pro 7. It may have been that i have recently added a second HD to my mac from an older mac that also had quicktme on it as i removed the codecs from that also and it all works fine now.
Thanks a bundle for your help
