After Effects CS6/CC isn't running on windows8.

Hello,
I have upgraded my Laptop (ASUS K55VM-SX046R) from windows 7 to windows 8 pro.
and I have tried installing Adobe After Effects CS6 as well as CC both one by one. Both gets installed successfully and even opens without any error. But then i got this kind of screen(same as i have attached), In composition area, it just shows white blank portion, there should be video instead. But I'm not getting the video and just this white screen. Same happened with Photoshop CC (64bit), in drwing canvas it was showing just a balnk space (not white color, but of grey or any default color), and when i installed 32bit version Photoshop CC, it worked perfectly. Anyways, Photoshop issue is just to ask you that, is it because of 64Bit versions or anything else?
Please help me out with After Effcets CS6/CC.
Thanking You :-)

Same old: You have messed up your CoDecs by installing some CoDec pack or whatever or there is an issue with hardware accelerated decoding due to a misconfigured graphics driver. Update the driver, uninstall the CoDec pack, reinstall the Adobe programs.

After Effects CS6 running painfully slow

The composition I'm working with does have 1 camera, and about 45 small 3D comps built into it. No lights. And all of the footage and data is on the Mac OSX hard drive. Which has tons of space available as you can see. I've played around with the settings in After Effects. But nothing seems to significantly speed things up. Any ideas??

Hey PJ,
I've been using CS6 since it was released, and while it's got a bunch of great new features, it's basically made Multi Processing unusable unless we're talking about the simplest of comps.   I'm working on my second short using AE as the total animation package, and render times for complicated 3D comps (NOT using ray tracing) have tripled.   MP used to take forever to spool up, but was fast once it got rolling. Now, disabling MP gives me 3 or 4 times faster rendering, which is still MUCH slower than MP is CS5.5. SOmething has deflineitly changed for the worse, as i'm using the same machine with the same settings and virtually the same comps.
I acutally just yesterday had two animators quit on my because they couldn't meet their deadlines.
I think After Effects is the hydra of programs. They kill one feature and two more fill its place. Unfortuanly we traded functional Multi-processing for falloff lighting and etc... The puppet tool was it 3 version of after effects before it was stable. I'm hoping we don't have to wait til CS7 for MP to sort itself out.
I really don't understand the "deal with it" aspect of the posters here. Surely a functional program that delivers on it's promises is the goal of this forum. We're not asking it to make us a sandwich.

Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
• Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
• Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
• Use After Effects CS6 in English
R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
• Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

Any body knows how to download an after effects CS6 tryout? thanks!

I need to run this version on my computer please help.. the new version (CC) won't run on my computer..... Help me thanks

Why do you think that After Effects CS6 (11.0) will run on your computer if After Effects CC (12.0) does not? The system requirements for hardware are nearly identical between the two versions.

Hi, I would like to Download a free trial of After Effects CS6 but it wants me to install AdobeDownloadAssistant to do it.

After effects cs6 isn't showing as an available app in Creative Cloud

can anyone answer why this isn't available on my list of products in my creative suite, which I pay an annual fee for. No version of Ae is showing. I can download the cloud version via the internet while logged in, but I want cs6 as it's what I use at school.

Hello yvonne,
Adobe After Effects CC is part of CC and so you will see only this, not the cs6 products, in your CC Apps. After effects cs6 - which you have installed - you only will find in your Adobe directory. I'm using windows and so I can use it by clicking into my start menu or - if necessary - into a desktop shortcut link.

After Effects CS6 (11.0.3) bug-fix update released, enables running on Mac OS X v10.9 (Mavericks)

Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.3) fixes many crashes and other bugs.
Details: http://adobe.ly/AE_CS6_1103
This update is required to run After Effects CS6 on Mac OSX v10.9 (Mavericks).

Thank you, Todd. I (and many others, I'm sure) are glad to see Adobe still supporting the older (purchased) software. Not a lot of companies do that sort of thing.

After Effects CS6 export to Lightwave option isn't available

I'm trying to export a camera motion from After Effects CS6 to Lightwave 11.5, but the option isn't even available in the File>Export menu. Is there a special download I need to install?
I watched several tutorials, and none of them mention a special plugin.

I gave up on LW after that Core debacle and only loosely follow things there, but I would assume that the new workflow would require a specific plug-in to be installed similar to Cinema 4D's exchange plug-ins. Maybe refer to the LW help ofr ask on the NewTek forums...

My After Effects CS6 keeps giving me Error 16 when i try to run it.

Hi.
I have just installed After Effects CS6.
It worked fine yesterday, but when i tried to run it today it kept giving me, Error:16.
Please help me as i have a project to finish this week.

If reinstalling doesn't solve your issue, we need to know a lot more to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

Creative Cloud thinks After Effects CS6 is on my computer, but it isn't.

I never installed the trial version of After Effects CS6, but when I went to do so, Creative Cloud said it was already on my computer and up to date.
I searched in all of my system files and nothing came up. I know for sure I have never used it. I can't download the trail from the adobe website because it automatically opens up Creative Cloud, which can't uninstall programs, so I can' get After Effects.

After Effects CS6 - Initializing Mediacore Issue - More Complex.

Hi, I recently got After Effects CS6, and I have had the program open a few times - when I say a few, I mean 4 or 5, all in the same day, and I was only opening and closing the program to check to see if I'd installed plugins correctly. So, anyway back to the point; I sat and created a 10 second clip for which I was going to use for a YouTube intro. I finished and exported the clip, only to find that after I had saved and closed the program, the clip I had exported was some form of .AVI that had encoded incorrectly (or something similar, this part isn't particularly relevant.) Then when I tried to re-open AE, the program hung at the 'Initializing Mediacore...' section of the loading screen, and it has done for a while now. I have tried restarting, re-installing, removing the 3rd-party plugins, and re-intalling QuickTime. I've been reading all the forums and looked up the issue on YouTube, and all the answers are wrong or lacking information about my issue. Every working answer I find is either about about a Mac issue, or any Windows issue keeps mentioning these 3 programs; Adobe QT32 Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, and PProHeadless.exe, none of which I have.
I run a 64-bit, Windows 7, Acer Aspire with 4 GB of RAM. Any helpful - emphasis on the helpful there - information will be greatly accepted.
Cheers.

The executables are in the program directories. Still, none of that is probably relevant. Something is damaging your media cache and/or blocking those services from even launching, which takes us back to basic trobleshooting steps which are:
Run as admin
Turn off security tools
Verify file and folder permissions on the temp and user directories
Cehck drive integrity and health

After Effects CS6 Not Starting?

Hello,
I have hard drive issues, usually resulting in corruption or deletion of Windows dll's. Each time I run a chkdsk /f in my command prompt, it fixes the disk issues, but manages to delete a dll from one of my Adobe CS6 Production Premium Softwares. Last time, it was a dll from Premiere Pro. Now, it's from After Effects. It lost the boost_threads.dll file, which I replaced, but now the program will not start with error message 0xc000007b. Simply replacing the dll working in fixing Premiere Pro, but it won't do the same in AE...
Any ideas on what could be causing this and some fixes?
Thanks in advance,
Jack Reynolds
Windows 8.1, Fully Updated. After Effects CS6.

If it gives you a splash screen at all while it's starting, you should be able to see the version number.

That's the link to the update file for AE. You could try running it to see if it works.

Why not? People uninstall the whole suite and reinstall it all the time to fix issues such as the one you mention.

After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

Hi everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
• 6GB reserved for other applications
• Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
• After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
• Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
• CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
• RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
• Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
I've since tried -
Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
Lots of combinations.
But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
The chose Edit > Purge > All
And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.
