After Effects CS6 doesn't play sound of MTS file when imported to ae.

When I record a file on my canon hfr10 camcorder and imports to my windows computer, it plays sound when played when open with windows media player. But when i import to After Effects, it doesn't have the audio thingy near the "lock layer" button. It doesnt play audio.

The audio is probably on the wrong tracks because your recording settings were set to channel 3&4, not 1&2. AE still only does stereo and simply doesn't see extra tracks. no chance. you need to extract the audio in an external program and import it as a separate file. Premiere should be able to handle this, but feel free to use otehr tools.

  • After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup

    Hello everybody, could you help me to address this problem? After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup. What should I do?
    Best,
    Oscar.

    That is not a configuration that After Effects CS6 will use for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    See the After Effects CS6 system requirements:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html#After Effects CS6 system requirements
    The Quadro K5000 was added to the whitelist for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects CC (12.0).

  • Downloaded MAC OS X 10.9.5 now After Effects CS6 doesn't work, how do I fix this?

    Need assistance, does anyone know if there is a fix for using 10.9.5 and after effects cs6?

    There are several threads on this exact problem on this very forum. Keeping my answer is simple as I can, the solution is to run the CS6 update.

  • After Effects CS5 and Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD (.MTS) File Format

    Hi everyone,
    I've just started with After Effects, and I the only video camera I have is an old Sony HDR-SR1 camera, which records in 1080i and uses the AVCHD file format. I've recorded a few videos, in which I proceeded to try and import to After Effects. The program came up with this error: "After Effects error: '0020.MTS' cannot be imported - this '.mts' file is damaged or unsupported." I understand that this error is pretty common, but I do not understand how to fix it. I've already tried the Media Encoder, and the videos that come out are horrible quality videos that are nothing like the videos recorded on the camera. I've also tried Sony's included Picture Motion Browser (I have the latest version) and when I try to convert, the video also comes out horrible quality and always has these annoying lines running across the video. Please help!
    Thanks!

    Actually, the AE should recognize the AVCHD footage, since I imported one of my recoedings, which is 1080p MTS to AE, and it worked. Maybe the problem lies in 1080i. I always deinterlace my 1080i files and then import them to AE. You may try to deinterlace your files and then import them to AE.
    As for the deinterlacing, you can google or you can give brorsoft mts converter, which I'm using now,  a try. It has a codec for AE and Adobe Premiere, wchich make it easier to import files to AE. Besides, you can convert your 1080i files to MPEG-2 and then import them to AE.

  • After effects CS6 and premiere pro and adobe encoder crash when previewing profess 422 files, after upgrading to Mavericks

    I have tried all of the fixes and updates that adobe have to offer. They say that this is because of the change in QuickTIme that are causing the problem. Still looking for a fix. Please any help would be greatfully appreciated.

    I experienced this at one point.  Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime.  (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.)  However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem.  Search this board using quicktime as a search phase.  The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions.  I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

  • 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...

  • Help with   After Effects CS6-

    I did something to piss off after effects -    not sure what I did exactly I was trying to make an after effects icon on the dock ( I have a MacBook pro  running mavericks )
    I have a subscription to the creative cloud - and have downloaded after effects CS6 .  but....
       Now when  I try  to open one of my  After effects projects it says "  Error message - something about I need to uninstall the older version of after- effects ,  - and then it listed a preset ( blur)
    and when I close the window , there were approximately 30  similar windows  with the same message , but a different preset,( blur this or that )
    So like an idiot I went to my applications and dragged my after effects app icon to the trash  ( there were two of them)  and then emptied the trash-  Now all my After effects files are greyed out with  small green text that says "exec"
    what should I do?  I cant opn my AE   (after effects) files,  I went to the cloud to re-install it and it says it is alll updated ,  should I do a uninstall?  How do I do that?   can I do that and then re-install AE CS6?     will  adobe make me download the newer CC version?   I dont want that version because all the computers at my school run CS6
    Can someone advise me what the next step would be?
    Im grateful for this forum.

    Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also learn to name your files sensibly - using $ in a file name may simply be interpreted as a variable by the operating system.

  • Raytrace 3D plug-in doesn't show up in After Effects CS6

    In After Effects CS6 I can't access the geometry options settings when making a shape layer 3D. I haven't been able to turn raytrace 3d on because it does not show up as a rendering plug-in. How do I fix this? Can I still access the geometry options? Do I need to install the plug-in it? If so, from where?
    Thank you!

    No, I'm saying you can't get the accelerated performance fromGPU rendering. You need to check your preferences and make sure your system is up to date. You should see the options for rendering at the top right corner of the composition window if you have a 3D layer. It looks like this:

  • Offline/Missing Image Sequences in After Effects CS6 with Color Bars

    I am working on a stop motion animation in After Effects CS6.  Each clip has been imported as an image sequence from stills on my hard drive.  When I open up After Effects, all image sequences now have color bars over them, as if they are offline.  Trying to reload them does nothing.  I cannot 'link media' because it isn't just one file; it's an image sequence so there are many of them. 
    I first noticed this when the color bars appeared in my dynamically linked comps inside of Premiere Pro.  Everything played smoothly the first time I opened the project in Premiere CS6, after originating in CS5.5.  Then the second time I opened up Premiere, the color bars appeared on the linked comps.  I hadn't yet opened up my AE project in CS6 yet, so when I did, AE converted the project and I resaved it. 
    Any help related to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks everyone, I think I'm beginning to solve this.
    Rick, thanks for your advice.  I tried this and it worked.  The reason I didn't do this before is that, because it is stop motion, I couldn't remember how many frames I had imported for each sequence.  For instance, if I shot 54 images and only imported 52 into the sequence, I wouldn't remember which 52 images to import...this might still be causing a problem, but I don't know yet.  I think in most cases I imported all the images in a folder, so the image sequences should be fine.
    I am having another problem, however.  Even though the issue seems to be fixed in AE, it doesn't seem to be fixed in Premiere...each image sequence is dynamically linked from AE, but each dynamically linked comp is still being show with color bars as they did in AE...I think that maybe my Premiere project is still linking to the old CS5.5 AE project, and not the new one opened and saved in CS6...

  • After Effects CS6 freezing when I import

    Hey.
    I have a problem with my After Effects. Everytime I import something, a few seconds after my mouse turns into "the spinning ball of death", and I can't do anything but forcequit out of After Effects. Then the next time I open AE, I hang on "Initializing Mediacore", but I know how to fix that. I have 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, and my Application Manager says that all of my Adobe programs are up to date (I'm running CS6). I run the trial version, and I'm thinking of buying it in a couple of days, just so you know I have the trial.
    I am open to any kind of help, I have not uninstalled/reinstalled, and I have not tested with other footage than from my SONY HD Camera, and I've also tried with a Premiere Pro Sequence.
    Thanks.

    I found the problem. For some reason my camera records in 24.5 fps (very weird?), so after I changed that it worked. Except one thing, .mov files doesn't work. And let me answer those questions for you:
    I use After Effects CS6 11.0.2.11, I'm using Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I'm trying to import .mov files, but it wouldn't work (that's my problem), so I changed to .mp4, but I would rather use .mov. Whenever I play the footage, whenever it shows up on the preview screen, my AE freezes. I do not use any thirdparty effects or codecs. My Mac-specs are:
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB memory and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB Graphicscard.
    Rest is just no, except the last one. I make a new comp and import files. Now, if I preview the imported file, my AE freezes, but only if it's a .mov file. And if I drag it into my timeline, it can stay there, but when I try to RAM preview or play it, it freezes.
    Hope this can help you find a solution.

  • After Effects CS6 going nuts!

    I have After Effects CS6, no updates or add ons. It has worked fine all along, but then today it went nuts. The problems: I was making a deep space scene, placing tow planets in the scene and moving them about. Usually I make a planet by importing a texture, then using CC Sphere to make it round, as most people do. Well, this worked fine. Then I usually use scale and size with key frames to move it about. Today however, I couldn't get the 'planet' to move, and when I tried to play it back, it gave me about 1 second of very quickly changing textures (wow, didn't understand that) and the 'planet' dissappeared. When I move the cursor back to the start, it reappears. Then I noticed that the actual 'track' on the timeline is tiny, no where near as long as the composition settings.
    As this has worked well for a while, I have not added computer info, which I have not changed since installing AF.
    I figured it was a fluke, as I've done this before, but now I can't get it to work at all. So what to do? I can't find anything in the Preferences that look wrong. Should I try reinstalling?? Any advice?  Thanks!!

    Yea, guess you are right. Just doesn't seem to be system related. It's a PC, Asus P5N7A motherboard with an Intel Core2 Quad, with 3 gigs of memory (yea, I know I need more memory), Windows 7 build 7601. It will slow down now and then, but has always worked well with Adobe stuff.  All my textures are simple .jpg files (which all worked in the past).
    Indeed, I have just now discovered that AE no longer works right with any still image!  Here's a shot of my screen when it stops working correctly. [I get the feeling there is something I'm forgetting to do].
    You may also notice that the timeline appears to be marked in....frames?? I don't remember that either!

  • After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem

    After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem
    I am having trouble getting my footage to update in an AE project. 
    In an existing project, there is an image sequence in a composition.  I have saved and closed AE, modified the footage (same dimensions and qty. of frames, only the pixel data changes), and then re-launched AE and opened the project.  Though I have changed the footage, the old content still appears.
    To resolve this, I have done the following:
    Edit>Purge>All Memory
    Edit>Purge>Image Cache Memory
    Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Empty Disk Cache
    Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Clean Database & Cache
    From the Project window I've selected all footage and selected Reload
    None of these got the footage to update.  I could double-click on the footage in the project bin and scrub the play head and the old footage was still displayed.
    Finally I had to replace the footage with itself and that resolved the issue.
    If this is operator error, lack of understanding the cache functions, or something else, I'd appreciate some assistance. I don't recall this behavior in CS 5.5, so I am guessing this is a change in CS 6.
    Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
    Intel Xeon CPU X5450 @ 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz
    RAM 20 GB

    about Illustrator and Photoshop files in CS6 especially - you should work with Ctrl/Cmd+E (Edit Original).
    when in Ae and you want to change a source file, use this command on one of the layers
    from the source file you wish to change (doesn't matter if its in the timeline or project window) and
    your original software linked to that file will open.
    when you work this way you make AE reload that file and any change after that will be seen back in AE immediately.
    it is also very convenient way to work because there can be no confusion on which file you are on
    if you work with multiple source files for example.
    even if you made the change with your Photoshop/Illustrator opened file and got back to Ae
    and didn't see any change - press on one of the layers Ctrl/Cmd+E and this will refresh it immediately.
    This is the case in CS6.
    in CC I have noticed that any change I make is refreshed immediately in Ae as if it rechecks the changes all the time,
    and didn't even need to use Ctrl/Cmd+E but it's a good habit all the same.
    didn't come across a case where that didn't work for be but
    if all fails you could always change the folder location of the file, let Ae lose it, then replace footage of the file,
    and thus let Ae re-link it back.

  • 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.
