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.

Adobe After Effects CS6 ERRORE

When I open adobe after effects cs6 Trial tells me "-After Effects Warning: Unknown Exception" I press ok it seems emi "After effects: AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer Plugin: Unknown error in Adobe Dynamic Link" I do ok and I get the message twice After that start I press ok and I get "After Effects can not continue: unexpected error during application startup" OS: Windows 7 64bit -Ram: 5,9- Processore: intel core i3 3.2Ghz OS: Windows 7 64bit -Ram: 5,9- Processore: intel core i3 3.2Ghz I tried to run it as admin and it does not work. I tried turning off firewall and even leaves. Updating the graphics driver says that I do not need. I delete preferences

WIthout proper system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. The unusual install location alone could be problematic...

Starting After Effects gets "Alert" on splash screen, then quits.

I'm running Mac OS 10.7.3, with an i5 processor running at 3.7Ghz, 8GB of RAM, and a new ATI 6870 1GB graphics card. when ever I start up Adobe After Effects CS6 I get this error:
AE then quits. any ideas?

Remove OpenGL plugin and try to load the application again
Drag the AE_OpenGL.plugin file from the Applications/Adobe After Effects CS6/Plug-ins/Extensions folder to the desktop.

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."

After Effects CS6 Error: Unknown Exception.

I keep getting this error when I open CS6 "After Effects Warning: Unknown Exception". I didn't use AE for like a week and while starting it up for work I had to complete the errors started...
Pressing ok gets me to "After effects: AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer Plugin: Unknown error in Adobe Dynamic Link" and then it closes with "After Effects can not continue: unexpected error during application startup".
I tried EVERYTHING! Searched on google, visited every page with people having the same problems, mostly on Mac systems and older versions of after effects and I still can't fix it and can't find anything on CS6 as most of these were on CS4 and some on 5. Guessing those with errors on CS6 might have reformatted their drive.
Im running Windows 7, 64-Bit. Using a High-End workstation(WS-X6) from "Workstation Specialists", so I don't think its a Hardware/OS issue.
Cleared preferences.
Did a reinstall from the disk.
Used CCleaner Pro.
Used the Adobe cleaner tool.
Google the Error, went to all pages with the same error.
I looked at every reply concering this error on this forum.
Downloaded a new trial.
Nothing works. Now obviously a reformat would do it but I got tons of stuffs on this machine and I'm not gonna reinstall it just now. I'm using nuke for the moment but would like my AE back.
Screenshots - Pretty sure this has something to do with my Mediacore but I don't know what as the disk reinstall should have fixed it. Even downloaded a new trial version, same thing.
Screencap GIF
Hope someone here knows how to fix this without any reformat. Thanks in advance.

Well that would be associated with *Visual C++ and I don't think I'm missing anything as I run photoshop also and it runs fine, not affected by the error here. Forgot to mention that I also was running premiere but when the errors with AE started premiere just stopped, would load for 1 second and then close. Somehow they're related. Also, when I run dynamiclinkserver and run AE it clings at Initializing mediacore and when I terminate the process it gives me the error again, gonna check the event viewer and get back to you.
"This error occurs when your application indirectly calls a pure virtual member function in a context where a call to the function is not valid. In most cases, the compiler detects this and reports the error when building the application. But depending on how your code is written, sometimes the problem is detected only at run-time. "

Help with After Effects CS6 error please?

I'm working on a kinetic typography project in CS6 as my final assignment for my Motion Graphics class. It's nothing too complex, just some text to some song lyrics and I decided I wanted to do some camera movements around the text but when I checked the 3D box next to the layers, I get an error message,
88:3, "error: TDL:outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork."
I literally only have one background picture and then quite a few text layers but that's it.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm still kind of new to After Effects and working with vector so I apologize if I'm not too savvy with all of this. Here's a screenshot of my composition if that's of any help.
*Edit: Oh and my text doesn't need any extrusions, the only 3D transformations I've made to the text layers is "pulling" their positions a little closer on the Z axis.

After Effects CS6 Error

When I render using h.264 I get the following error at the very end of the render: "After Effects can't continue. An output module has stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupt." I am rendering video game footage in .mp4 format, and I have completed countless renders using the same type of clips and the same settings in the past. My computer is a 6-Core AMD Phenom 2 with 8 GB DDR-3 RAM, 750 GB HDD, and an ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics card, and I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. All drivers are up to date, the latest version of quicktime is installed, and all important windows updates are installed as well.
Things I have tried already:
Rendering to an external hard drive - failed.
Changing how often after effects purges memory during the render - failed.
Move all files over from my PC (where I do all the editing) to my Mac and render from there - same error message.
Uninstall and reinstall Quicktime - failed.
Import project as opposed to opening it - failed.
What I also find odd is that when I render in parts, it works fine. If I render in two halves everything goes normally, which indicates that it isn't a problem with the clips I'm editing. I also tried rendering in Quicktime format using h.264 compression as opposed to just straight h.264, and that worked fine, which leads me to believe it's not a problem with quicktime. I haven't changed anything regarding new plugins or different footage than I've ever used in the past, and this error just started happening.
Here is a screenshot of my render settings in case you need them, and if it makes any difference, the comp is about 4 minutes long and around 200 layers.

I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the speedy reply Dave.
It's formatted for windows, but I only rendered onto that as a test to see if the issue was how much space I have on my built in HDD. Typically I just render onto that.
