After Effects doesn't recognize OpenGL version

Hello,
I got the newest Nivida driver installed [331.82] with opengl4.3 driver.
After Effects shows that I have OpenGL 2.1.2. [See below screenshot...]
Why is that? Does anyone have similar problem?
My configuration: Windows 7, AfterEffects CC, 16GB RAM, GeForceGTX 570,
http://walanus.com/share/opengl.jpg

Really no one knows?
I searched whole After Effects Manual for "OpenGL" and there is no word about it . On the other hand, I can see in tutorial http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-video-cs6/how-to-optimize-after-effects-cs6-for-high-per formance/?go=12437 that there is OpenGL version 3.0 presented inside of AE info screen.

Adobe After Effects CC showing incorrect OpenGL version on New Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013

Hey Guys, Quick question here. I'm attempting to work on a project on After effects. I keep getting Out of Memory error upon loading the project. i went in and tweaked the settings and i noticed on my GPU page, it says my OpenGL version is 2.1. On Apple's website it says the OpenGL version of My Macbook (Late 2013 15" Retina, Geforce 750M 2048MB) is 4.1
Any reason why it shows the incorrect version? i dont think the OpenGL is whats causing my Out of Memory error, but i just want to make sure im not over looking anything in attempt to resolve the issue.
Thanks!

Yea I am not sure...I have had this Laptop on November 2nd...The problems started about two weeks after. Has anyone else had the issue that you know of?
It has given me the grey error message of system crash it will restart. It is the LATEST Macbook Pro 15in High End Model with 16 GB RAM.

After Effects doesn't recognize increased ram

I increased my ram from 2GB to 4GB. Windows XP recognizes the increase but After Effects 7.0 still shows only 2GB of ram. Is there a setting in After Effects that needs to be changed to recognize the additional ram?

Search the forums (or any other tech website) for "boot.ini" and "/3GB switch". It's a system setting, not an AE thing. And, before you are disappointed: AE will not use more than 3GB on Windows XP 32bit, because it won't allow more. It will only use 4GB un XP 64 or Vista 64.

Mac after effects cs3 WONT RECOGNIZE .AEX FILES

Hi,
I use a mac osx and I own a copy of Adobe After Effects. I have been playing around with it in the past few months and I have recently started installing plug-ins. The problem is, some of these plug-ins are .aex files, and when I put them in my plug-in directory After Effects won't recognize them. It will recognize .ffx and .plugin files, but not .aex. I have found out that .aex is for the PC version only and I think this is a very prominent design flaw because most plug-ins are in .aex format.
Is there any converter for .aex to .plugin? And will this problem be sorted in the next version of After Effects?
Thanks,
Reuben

PC and mac are completely different operating systems with different code requirements. There's no practical way for Adobe to write some kind of translator that will make PC plug-ins run in the Mac OS.
Some plug-ins are written for Power PC and not for Intel Macs. These also require different code. For plug-ins to work in both Intel Mac and Power PC Macs must be written in Universal Binary. This has nothing to do with Adobe and everything to do with the manufacturers of plug-ins.
If you're running on an Intel mac and want to use non intel plug-ins you'll have to run AE under Rosetta emulation. You do that by going to the applications folder and selecting Info for the AE app. You'll find a check box for Rosetta. This will make these plug-ins work, but AE won't run as efficiently and may not be as stable.
Most plug-in installers are aware of the OS and will not install on incompatible systems. In many cases installing a plug-in is more than just dragging the plug-in into the apps plug-in folder.
If you're copying from another system, one that you don't own, then you're violating licensing and most plug-ins will either run in demo mode with a watermark or will not run at all.
Hope this helps.

My After effects doesn't have the CC Cylinder Effect!

My After effects doesn't have the CC Cylinder Effect!??
I installed it and I watched a tutorial, but my AE doesn't have the CC Cylinder addon/plugin! Why?
Can anyone help?

Are you on a Mac? Perhaps one more case of PPC vs. intel and the plugins not showing up due to the wrong versions being installed? Or some odd setting with Rosetta? Not sure, that stuff surprisingly always works for me even though I'm still not the most astude Mac user on the planet...

After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.

I'm having a similar problem with After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.
I can install AE-CC 12.1 on a new machine without issue.
Please provide the files to be removed to force update.
I'm using 10.9 - Mavericks and cannot use AE without this update.

Attempted to install update manually but rcvd error listed below. Admin is not suppressing updates, I can confirm as I am the admin. Also, other apps update without issue.
I've noted that users have experienced a similar issue with Photoshop, listed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5875088#5875088

After Effects doesn't start (Vista)

Hello Community,
since yesterday my After Effects doesn't work anymore. I rendered a file and after some hours I stopped. I didn't shut my PC off, but I left for some hours. When I came back AE didn't start anymore. I just got the error message. It says that AE can't proceed anymore: an error occured while starting the application.
I googled a lot for a solution. I read a lot about the preferences. I tried to hit ctrl+alt+shift when I started AE with no success. I found the preferences file and deleted it, but I still got the error.
Today I reinstalled AE. But it didn't solve the problem. The were no error message anymore, just the standard windows error sound occured. After that I reinstalled all my Adobe applications, but Illustrator, Photoshop and especially AE still don't work. I have no problems with Bridge.
I also installed the 9.0.2 Update for AE, but after that just the the error message occured again when I start AE.
I don't know what else I can do?! I really need your help. Thanks
I have Windows Vista with the newest updates.

Let's stick to the thread on Video Copilot....

After Effects does not recognize correct system resources

On my computer at work, I have After Effects CS4 and After Effects CS3. The computer is a 2x2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 8 gigs of ram running OSX 10.5.6.
Both versions of After Effects can only see/use 1.7 gigs of ram. My understanding is that After Effects should see as available 3 gigs of ram. (On the identical computer at home I can in fact see 3 gigs of ram.)
I need the maximum resources when working since I need to do longer HD ram previews. In addition at this low memory setting the software does not run right, with multiple memory crashes that should not be happening -- the kind of things that happen when you have insufficient system resources to run a program. I'm an advanced user who has been using this software for over 15 years -- it's not operator error.
I'm hoping someone has some suggestions of things I can do to alleviate this bug.
[As an additional note, the multiprocessing option is also telling me I have 16 processors, when I have only 8.]

> [As an additional note, the multiprocessing option is also telling me

This is the easy question, so I'll deal with it first.
This a borderline bug. After Effects CS4 isn't able to take advantage of hyperthreading (which turns 8 physical processor cores into 16 virtual processor cores). However, it can _see_ the virtual cores, and it reports them as being there. Yeah, it's misleading. We fixed it in After Effects CS5---and we fixed it in the good way, by making After Effects CS5 capable of using the virtual cores provided by hyperthreading.
OK. Now for the harder question:
> Both versions of After Effects can only see/use 1.7 gigs of ram. My
understanding is that After Effects should see as available 3 gigs of
ram.
Please be very specific about what you mean by "see". Exactly what are your settings in the Memory & Multiprocessing preferences? (A screenshot would remove all ambiguity.)
Have a look at this page: "FAQ: Why doesn't After Effects see and use all of my RAM?"
Also, see this page, especially the first comment on the bottom.

After Effects doesn't start.

doesn't start. nothing. just a *ding*. even if i run as administrator. ditto for my other adobe programs.
It has worked fine before! but after i downloaded a few stuff from videocopilot, it just stopped.
when i click it all it does is show my cursor loading, makes a sound, and doesn't start.
PLEASE help me if you can.
ps. dont ask me for screenshots. you can't possibly get screenshots in my situation.

Did you try re-creating the After Effects preferences?
Should not add to the matter. If he can't launch any Adobe program, something serious is up. I would suspect that the whole licensing system has bugged out. also could be the Adobe Updater that either doesn't work at all or got interrupted while updating something critical. Anyway, Elaine's first aid tips are the first thing to look into. Beyond that, more info on the operating system is required. It would also be relevant, as from where the Video Copilot stuff was downloaded, on the chance it includes ripped versions of the DVDs. It may have brought some virus with the torrents .

Iniciando mediacore. After effects doesn't run.

Hello,
I'm working with win 8.1.
After Effects start and then, when it's says "Iniciando medicore" stay in stand up and doesn't work.
What I have to do?
Regards,

You have a permissions issue most likely. Something is blocking access to the required external system components or the cache folders. Anyway, since you haven't told us what version of AE and some more detailed system info, nobody can say much beyond that.

After Effects doesn't save my presets

Hello guys.
So this is the problem : i go into animation presets for save my presets but AE doesn't save it
HELP
(Sorry for my English im French)

"What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? Has this ever worked before? What other software are you running? Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Tell us about your computer hardware. And so on."
hi, it sounds like i have the same problem.
i'm running AE cs4 on windows 7 32bit (sp1). i have a lot of other software, but i'm not sure if you want everything or just what's running in the backround while i'm on AE. no other software is running while i run AE. i do have 3rd party effects. 3gb ram, intel core 2duo 1.5 GHz.
the problem is this. i highlight all the properties i wish to make an animation preset from, click save animation preset, set the save location to desktop (to ensure it isnt an administrative permission conflict), and click save. after that, no preset file is made.
i've never had a problem until now. and none of the above information about my computer has changed.
i believe the thing that could have done it is tampering with PresetEffects.xml file in support files. i made a custom effect with 6 slider controls and used script editor to apply it to a null. when i tried saving it as an animation preset, the above problem happened and i havent been able to fix it.
this was the first time i tampered with the presetEffects file. i made a backup of it before editing it at all. when i encountered the problem, i replaced the edited file with the backup..still not fixed (i resterted AE every time i made a change to the preseteffects file). i then reinstalled AE and made sure the PresetEffects file was back to it's original state. still no fix.
any ideas?

PS= I installed also the creative suite CS5 and the program x64 doesn't run the same. the problem is in 64 bit programs.
Excuse me for my bad english but i'm an italian boy xD

Impossible to tell. You will need to download Sysinternals Process Monitor, set it to filter on AfterFX.exe and then see which function calls it is unable to make. Sounds very much like your are missing some specific DLLs, but which ones is utetrly in the dark.

How can I bind danish letters to my shortcuts? After Effect doesn't seem to care what I put in my shortcuts txt file.

As stated.
I want to use the letters "æ" and "ø" to replace the brackets that the american keyboards use for trimming and cut at trim. It seems like such a nice feature.
I've tried putting in unicode with UX00E5 format and so forth like I'm supposed to, but it just doesn't seem to work.
How should I proceed, and what can I provide you folks with to help me with this?

It would be fine if at least After Effects would honor my new bindings, but it just doesnt work.
What could be common problems?

Phantom hairline showing up in shape, transfers to After Effects, doesn't move on art board

Hi,
First time posting here so hope I'm following protocol. We're having an issue at my office with Illustrator (5.1) and After Effects. This just started happening this week.
For some reason, when a file is created in Illustrator and you zoom in extremely clost on a shape, a thinner-than-hairline line appears on it. This has showed up as both a vertical and horizontal. When you zoom in or out, the line disappears, but it also appears in After Effects. It doesn't seem to be part of the shape or a fragmented shape because if you move the shape, the line stay stationary.
Anyone seen anything like this? The video editor and I have NO idea and we've been trying to figure it out for a few days now. Also, the issue isn't in just one file; it has happened in two separate project files now.
Thanks!
Christi

This is an issue with current PDF libraries used by Adobe apps. For some reason content gets tiled, even if it doesn't actually require flattening. Same issue occurs when rasterizing the files in PS. Anyway, with regards to AE the sane advise would be to safe back to CS3 no matter what, because there are bugs in its handling of newer AI formats... This potentially also avoids your issue...
