After Effects CS6: Canon .CR2 RAW files not recognized as acceptable files for import?

HI Folks,
I'm trying to import as I've seen on tutorials, my RAW files from my Canon 5D3 .CR2 files. I can open them in PS and LR5….and I'd seen examples of folks opening them with AE CS6 standalone, but it doesn't seem to recognize mine.
Any thoughts? Is there something I need to update, or flag or change?
I'm on a mac, OSX 10.7.5
AE verson: 11.0.4.2
This is what my import screen looks like:
Thanks in advance,
C

I read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.

I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!

After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) Not Recognizing Installed RAM Windows 7 64-Bit (Home Premium)

I'm having the same issue in Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1 x64).
I had been running my system on 16GB of RAM and recently upgraded to 32GB. My system diagnostics show 32GB of RAM actively installed and running, but when I open the system preferences in either PS or AE it shows only 16-ish available RAM. Why don't I have access to all 32GB (or close to it)?
I'm including screen shots of the Preferences Windows in both PS and AE. Any help would be much appreciated. Both applications are currently updated as of this morning.

I have answered my own question. And as embarrassing as it is. I'll leave it up in case someone else is looking for the same answer.
Windows 7 Home Premium only supports up to 16 GB of RAM. I had to buy the Professional version in order to access all 32 GB of the installed RAM.
It's a pretty silly mistake to make, but there you have it.

After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) update: bug fixes and added GPUs for ray-traced 3D renderer

We just released the After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) update.
There are a lot of bug fixes and additions in this update.
See this page for details:
http://adobe.ly/AE1102
Let us know if you have any trouble with this update.

I have this too, with ML 10.8.2 - pretty sure you can't install custom drivers. Did you find a solution?
EDIT: Didn't realise I had to update the CUDA drivers manually on OS X! Downloaded from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda-mac-driver.html and all is OK

After Effects CS6 (CC) AVI's will not transmit to LED signs - CS4 worked fine

I work in After Effects to create animations for LED signage. I previously used AE CS4 and never had a problem transmitting .avi's to the sign. I now use the CC version and my .avi's will no longer transmit to the signs. I'm using the same settings except that I noticed CS4 was using a Cinepak codec which does not exist in CC. Not sure if this is the problem.

Yes, that was me. I'm still trying to figure it out because I have more customers now who have upgraded to CS6 or CC like I did and can't use it.
Thanks.

Avchd files not showing in windows 7 for import to elements

Hi I just bought elements 9. I am using windows 7 and a panasonic lumix g3 camera which records in AVCHD lite.
If I try to to lets load some video files - open the organizer click file> get photos and videos>from files and folders with my sd card in the computer and select and view the files in a folder none of the video files are shown. All the photos files are there JPEG and raw but not the video, no thumbnails, no list, no nothing. the files are there I just cant see them so i cant import them so I can't use Premier elements. I cant find much about this anywhere either and am really hoping someone can help. Ideally I need to see a thumb nail to seletc files. thanks

First, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime.
Then, instead of using the Organizer to get the video from the camera, set up a Premiere Elements project using the settings for AVCHD Lite 720p60 (720p50 if PAL) and then use Premiere Elements' Get Media/From Flip AVCHD and Hard Disk Camcorder tool to get the video from the camera.

Canon G15 Raw pics not recognized by LR 5.4

These files are readable by other products like iPhoto, but LR 5.4 and Adobe DNG converter don't recognize the files. I've searched on this topic and made sure I have the latest updates but no luck. Any ideas appreciated!

Hi, I realize it's been supported, so wasn't expecting any problems. No compression that I'm aware of. At first I attempted to download and convert by connecting the camera directly via usb. When that didn't work I moved the files manually. It still couldn't be read - message said "unsupported". Then I imported the pics to iPhoto and had no problems, so I don't think there is any real question of the files be corrupt. Just to check, I reformatted my SD card and took another shot, and tried again with LR but got the same message. I'm on Apple OSX 10.9.2 and have LR 5.4. Thanks again!

Latest Version of After Effects CS6?

This may be a stupid question (is there such a thing?) but ...
As a CC subscriber, I currently have installed After Effects v. 11.0.0.378. Adobe Application Manager simply shows that AE is "installed." But I see at
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/10/after-effects-cs6-11-0-2-update-bug-fixes-and- added-gpus-for-ray-traced-3d-renderer.html
that there is a newer version of AE: v. 11.0.2.
My question is two-fold:
(1) Why doesn't the Adobe App Manager notify me of an AE update?
(2) Should I update my CC version of AE manually to 11.0.2? Or will this mess up my Creative Cloud AE subscription somehow?
Thanks for any wisdom and guidance.

Hi DrStrike9

Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

I use a Canon 7D DSLR. Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
Some files still open others do not. I can think of only one thing. I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
Any ideas why this would happen? I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter. Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
Alex

ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

Are RAW formats still recognized in After Effects CS6 since latest CameraRawUpdate?

Apple iMac 10.1
Apple MBP 10.1
Mavericks
Adobe Production Premium CS6
Adobe Lightroom 5
Camera Raw v 8.4.0.199
Since the last update to AdobeCameraRaw, I can no longer import RAW still image file types into After Effects CS6. Results are the same on both computers.
In the Import Dialogue Box, CR2 and DNG file formats are greyed-out.
When attempting to click and drag a folder containing CR2 or DNG images into After Effects :
All files and folders containing these file types in previous After Effects projects have been rendered offline.
JPEGs, TIFFs and PSDs are supported and recognized and capable of being imported.
CR2 and DNG are not.
.MOV, .AVI and all other video formats that I have on hand to test remain stable.
CR2 in After Effects 11 was working just fine until the latest AdobeCameraRaw update.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Is there a solution?

After effects CS6 error file cannot be imported - this 'moov' file is damaged or unsupported

Hi there,
I'm working in After Effects CS6 (11.0.2.11)
I imported an AAF that was exported from Avid MC 6.5.2. I colour corrected and graded the sequence using colorista 2 and magic bullet looks and some other native AE FX.
Before exporting I decided to double check something to do with the audio. I imported the same AAF into FCP 7, took a quick look, but decided nothing needed to be done. I tabbed back to AE (which was left open), and upon returning, AE started giving me all these 'damaged or unsupported' errors.
Subsequently, AE will now not import any quicktime movies - even ones I rendered out of after effects earlier in the day (these quicktimes use ProRes422 codecs, animation codecs and other lossless codecs)
I've restarted, re-exported the AAF several times using diff settings, uninstalled perian... but to no success.
Anyone got any good ideas? I've had this happen before, where AE will import an AAF and it works first time no problem. Then something happens when I re-open the project and boom... 'moov' errors. It's really odd and very annoying - esp since it now won't import other normal quicktime movies too - with the animation codec. I have quicktime 7 pro installed and quicktime X on Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.3).

I have the exact same problem on a Mac with 10.8.3 and After Effects from the Adobe CS6 MasterCollection (AE 11.0.2.11 (german)): all of a sudden I cannot import any native QuickTime-Movies (ProRes, Animation) or even movies that use e.g. H264 in a QuickTime container. Even projects that worked 2 days ago that contain QuickTime-movies will not open anymore.
This happened 2 days ago without any action from me that I can think of that could have caused this. I did not install any new codecs or plugins, nor was there anything in the apple software update.
What I tried/checked so far (to no avail):
disks are OK,
file permissions are OK,
no Firewall is blocking anything,
deleted AE-prefs,
removed all 3rd-party plugins,
removed all 3rd-party codecs.
Edit: I did some further poking around, and it turns out that after deleting or resetting file permissions of the folder "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects" AE will briefly allow you to open an existing project that contains QT-movies. If you then try to import any QT-movie you get the error message -- and after that you cannot open the project again.
This is really bad -- AE is basically unusable right now.
P.S.: The (german) error-message is this: "After Effects Fehler: Die Datei "filname.mov" kann nicht importiert werden: Datei "MooV" ist entweder beschädigt oder wird nicht unterstützt."

Error 101: After Effects Cs6 Trial (Not enough available disk space)

This is the error that I get when I attempt to download After Effects trial. There is over 500 Gb of free space on my computer. Photoshop and Dreamweaver trials downloaded fine, and nomatter howmany times I try to redownload After Effects it still will not work. I've tried uninstalling the photoshop and Dreamweaver trials, I've moved the destination folder for the download in many different files (ie: C, Desktop, Users ect.) nothing works.
Please Help.

I even tried the direct download and it has the same error nomatter what folder I try.
any other advice?
this is the message:

A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder.
and if I try to go into the destination folder and start the setup from there i get a window that says:

After Effects CS6 - render files huge!

Ok I am tying myself in knots here.
I have a 7 second text animation on a plain background in After Effects CS6 which I want to export so I can use it in Premiere Pro CS6 withan alpha channel so i can superimpose it over video. The file is 1080P 25 because that matches my video. the first time I rendered it it came out at 89Mb which was fine. But I wanted to tweak the text positioning so I did that - now every time I render the file is around 1.5Gb!
I am using Windows so i can't render Quicktime with an alpha channel which means I have to use avi but what settings should I use? (Avi is the only format which allows me to export RGB + alpha).
I have to say that I have used many video programs in my life but I find After Effects the single most unituitive piece of software I have ever encountered. Why can't it give you an indication of how big your render file is likely to be to gvie youa t least some clue as to what settings to use?

That is not correct.
You can install QuickTime on Windows and use QuickTime for output from After Effects.

Color in .mov file from After Effects CS6

Scrren shot of how my animation looks in After Effects CS6 (on the left), vs. how it looks when rendered to a .mov file. (on the right). See how washed-out the colors look?
I am on a Mac, latest software versions and OSX.7.4. The source material is in RGB mode, Color Setting is Adobe RGB 1998, which is my wRGB working space. Color settings are synchronized across the entire suite. In the AE project settings, I see that color management is turned on and we are indeed in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
Possibly export settings, because I do not know thing one about those!

Read this FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?
Then I would suggest trying a different codec. When you send your comp to the Render Queue it says lossless next ot the Output Module Settings, that means that it's using After Effect's defualt lossless settings, which uses a codec called Animation. Animation is an ancient codec that delivers huge files and it isn't used so much in production anymore. If you click on lossless the Output Module Settings screen will come up where you can change the format of your render and you can change the codec by hitting the Format Options button.
I've seen that washed out issue before with the Animation codec and just did some tests. I also played with the Color Management settings using the Animation codec by going to the upper right hand tab in the Output Module Settings menu. That seemed to have no effect on the final look of the render. A quicktime render with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec seems to match the AE screenshot almost identically.
Unfortunately, you can't get the ProRes codecs without having either Final Cut Pro installed or Apple Motion. I think it's possible to buy them from the Apple website. However, there are other lossless codecs you can try such as Uncompressed YUV 10bit or 8bit, but I just did a test and I got a much darker render than the ProRes renders and the screenshot. Judge for yourself what's best...
If you want ot know more, here's an FAQ on the basics of rendering and exporting in AE...
