After Effects CS6 won't import images files, get an error.

HI,
Problem with AE CS6 and importing .png files in a folder. Please see the YouTube video, I took a screencast of the problem in action to show what it looks like, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had a tech connect to my computer, tried a number of things, this was the culprit:

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...

Premiere CS6 won't import mov files, the message: "file has no video or audio streams" shows up instead. How can I import the files?

MOV is a wrapper that can contain many different codecs. The message you get is indicative of a distribution codec inside the MOV wrapper. You may need to convert the material to an editable codec before importing.

After Effects Cs6 Won't Open. Error Code: 16

I use After Effects Cs6 on a daily basis but now when i try opening the program, an error window pops up saying that i need to uninstall and reinstall the program but i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?

...i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?
First thing, make certain you actually have to reinstall. For example, what happens if you just turn off the computer, go have a cup of coffee, then turn it back on, launch AE and open a project file? Or if you mess with your multiprocessing settings, and double-check the drivers for your third-party card?
No Joy?
Write down all the pulgins you installed. Gather all the applicable installers. Follow Mylenium's advice on the Cleaner Tool when uninstalling, then bite the bullet and reinstall the plugins. It's a Right Royal Pain, but you'll have to do it. Sorry, no shortcuts here.

What exact update are you trying to apply, and how? Give as much detail as possible.

After Effects CS6 Won't Launch After Mavericks Upgrade.

Hi All,
I have seen a few posts regarding this and have scoured the web for few hours looking for answers. So far all I have found are patches from Adobe and their asking that we uninstall and reinstall the app.
None of this has worked so far.
In fact I've gone from an error of "Can't use this version" to adding the patches to now getting "After Effects Cannot Be Opened Because Of A Problem". It goes on to add this...
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Two questions:
1. Is there a fix for this?
2. If not, how can I revert back to 10.8 without losing everything.

Ok, I found one more article talking about upgrading to 11.3 upgrade instead of 11.4(latest). Finaly worked. Hope this helps someone else, this was painful.

After Effects CS6 won't open: "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."

I cleared my computer but I managed to get After Effects CS6 back by looking in Windows old on my hard drive, every time I try and open AAE I get this error message "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."
What should I do?
Thanks.

Does it launch after that error message?
What version of CS6 is it? 11.0.4? If not, try updating to it.
Why not simply reinstall from your original disk or download?

After Effects CC won't import short video files

I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.

After Effects CS4 won't import my .wmv files i've created with Pinnacle Studio 11

not sure if anyone else is having this problem... and i'm a complete newbie with this program. When i import videos from my collection (ones that i have not modified with any other program, or random ones i've collected from online: avi,mpgeg, wmv,... etc.) they import perfectly and can manipulate them.
however, if i try to import a file i have created using my Pinnacle Studio 11 program (which outputted my files in .wmv), CS$ immediately crashes and kicks me out. i would just like to know if i can fix this problem

>i would just like to know if i can fix this problem
You don't use WMV. ;-) Simple as that. You should avoid working with compressed formats wherever you can, as they will further degenerate with every step of processing and successive compression. For your specific problem, you will have to provide much more info, e.g. a snapshot of the export settings or description of same. It's quite imaginable that your software embeds metadata AE does not know how to use or the files are being protected with a DRM key specific to the program. could also simply be a matter of data rates and number of streams.... Just too many possibilities and while it's certain that they all can be adjusted, without further details giving you blindfold advise will serve no purpose.

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.

Premiere (and After Effects) CS6 won't open anymore!

     Hi everyone,
Recently, I've been working on a project which required a dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere CS6 on my MacBook Pro, which runs OSX Mountain Lion. Everything worked great until yesterday, when I got an error message that said something along the lines of "Adobe Premiere has encountered an error. We will try to save your project and restart Premiere again".
     I re-opened Premiere, and although the same thing happened again a few times, I was finally able to get back to my project. Today, however, the same message appeared when I opened it again. I went through the same routine again, opening it and then exiting out, but this time, it didn't work.
     Not only is Premiere not opening, it is no longer even showing the error message. It simply goes to the loading screen and the the infamous "Spinning Beach Ball of Death" appears. I've force quit multiple times and re-started my computer with every application closed. I've also relaunched Finder (I honestly don't think that would help, but I tried anyways) - still, the loading sign freezes and the SBBOD appears again.
     Instead of sitting there trying to fix it and wasting my time, I tried opening After Effects to at least work on the linked compositions that were in my Premiere project. I then get this message before After Effects force quits automatically:
"Last log message was: <140735255806336> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."
So, apparently this has something to do with my GPU or CPU? I'm not really that educated when it comes to GPUs, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a CUDA Driver Version 5.5.47 on my computer (I'm not entirely sure how it got there in the first place...), and System Preferences has been notifying me that it needs to be updated. I heard somewhere, on a different forum, that this may have something to do with it, so I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of the driver, although this just turned out to be the same version (5.5.47) that I already have (which seems to be the newest one).
So, what do you think I should do? Is there something very specific that should be done? Does it have something to do with this CUDA thing? Is the best option to just uninstall and then reinstall?
If you have any ideas, let me know!
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
Also, for the other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.

Error: "You can't use this version of After Effects with the current version of OS. Using Mac OS 10.9.4 Adobe system requirements as follows:
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8** All other applications in Production Premium launch and function as normal.

Updated AE CS6 to version 11.0.4. Did the trick! (Of course, I had to defeat the AdobeCrashDaemon using the Mac Activity utility before the update would install).
