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 crashes when scrubbing through the timeline. What do I do?

So whenever I scrubb through the timeline of my footage after effects will freeze, then crash. It happens everytime. Before I got the full version of After Effects and only had the trial, this would never happen. But once I got the full version it happensall the time. If someone could please help me it would be most appreciated. I am on a Windows 7 Home with 8gb of ram. My version of after effects is 11.0.4

We need to know a lot more to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here:

After Effects CC freezes when importing PSD files

Version 12.2.1 of after Effects no longer imports Photoshop's PSD files (Photoshop 14.2.1 x64).
The last project I worked on was on 7th March 2014. Today is the 28th March 2014. What could have happened in the intervening three weeks I wonder?
An update to AE I'm guessing...
Is this a known problem?
Is there a fix?
How do I report this to Adobe?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Rick,
I made sure the images are RGB, but I don't know what simple means. Nor do I know how to make them the same size as the comp (composition?). I saved the images as Tif and PNGs and they imported without crashing. I literally have just opened to the first chapter of After Effects: Classroom in a Book, so please bear with me.
When I first imported a Photoshop file, AE crashed with this alert:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <140735304074000>
<SyncService> <4> CheckConnection: 3.
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
(Updated errors below)
As I mentioned, I'm following the instructions for lesson 1 in the Adobe book, After Effects CC: Classroom in a Book. The first few steps are to import a group of files. I import the footage files first, then when I try the .psd file, AE crashes.
Here are my specs:
AE CC 2014 Version 13.0.2.3
OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
iMac 21" late 2009
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
12 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB (I installed the CUDA driver on another account of this iMac--should only need to be done once, no matter whose account, right?)
Connected over wifi to a Belkin router.
UPDATE:
I switched my wifi connection to the 5 GHz band and tried again (since some online searches seemed to indicate this error message had to do with TCP) and got a new error when trying to import the .psd file:
<ALOG> <5> PSL AE Interface Cache Cache
created: /Users/[myname]/Documents/Lesson01/Assets/bgwtext.psd.
UPDATE:
Switched to ethernet, got the same <ALOG> <5> PSL message, switched back to 2.4 GHz wifi and still get the same message. I cannot replicate the first SyncService error message.
The Adobe Creative Cloud is connected to the Internet and can download other Adobe applications, however Photoshop Elements 6 shows a "No Internet connection" message when I try to update it. Adobe Acrobat Reader updates fine. I have also tried to import the file in with Root enabled, but to no avail.

After Effects CS6 crashes when I attempt to change output destination

The name of the thread says it all, any suggestions?

Your post is not much use to anyone. You are not telling us anything about your operating system, storage locations, output settings and whatever else may be relevant. The magic sauce is all in the details, not a generic assumption that this would be some bug or known issue.

Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?

I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post.

How can I go from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6? (Problem)

Hi,
I am trying to send my clip from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6, but when I right click on the clip, I can't even select the option to send it to After Effects. I can see the option to send it to After Effects, but I just cant select it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Billy

You can do what you want... only going the other way!
You can import a CS5 Premiere Project (in its entirety
or a selected sequence) into CS6 Ae.
In CS6 Ae:
File>Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project...
Navigate to your CS5 Premiere project, double-click
and select 'All Sequences', or your preferred sequence.
As Jim points out, Dynamic Linking will only work
between matching versions of Pr and Ae.

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 Crashing on Win 7 x64 HP z620 Workstation

After Effects CS6 crashes when loading UI interface, I have use CS tool to remove software, completed a clean install and still the same issue. I'm using a HP z620 with 24 cores 12Gig RAM Nvidia Quadro 4000 video card. These spec are well above the requirements for the software. I have also cleared the perfs folder as well. BTW when it also happens when I use any of the CS6 Master Collection software. Could someone please help with this

I know this doesnt help you figure out whats wrong, but its to let you know that a similar system (Z820, 64GB ram, Nvidia GTX 570) has no problem loading After Effects CS6.
I would suggest a complete uninstall using the Adobe Cleaner software and a reinstal of the Creative Suite.

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."

Importing an Illustrator CS6 in After Effects CS6

When I import the file into After Effects CS6 I only see a black scree and you can move the squares. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Joe.

The top pic. is a Ai file.
Well here is what I do in Ai I have a white background create a few squares and a text, all in different colors. I am not using black. I same the file and then import it in After Effects and choose to keep layers. And I all I get is a black square with non of the graphics that I created.
Thanks,

Cannot import .mov files (from JVC HM100) into After Effects CS6

Hi,
I am trying to import .mov files into After Effects CS6. Unfortunately, when I try to import the .mov files, AE tells me "After Effects error: 210_0001_01.mov cannot be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsupported." The file works in Premiere CS6. I have the latest Quicktime, and even with Quicktime 7 Pro installed, I got that same result. I would appreciate any advice on this problem.
Thank you.

I'm going to set up a new sequence with just the clip I'm using after effects on. I'm going to import that sequence into AE.
Your footage is currently a long-gop codec, which may be giving Mocha fits. So instead of Dynamic Link, you may want to simply export the clip in question from Premiere using a lossless codec. Remember to leave handles on the footage.
To get back to Premiere you would then render in a lossless codec. It's not very handy, but it will get the job done.
Give it a try and see what happens.
