After effects error invoking auto contrast- help!

Please can someone help me with this, as its driving me crazy and I have a deadline coming up!
Ok, I have a compostion in After Effects I was working on, but now when I go to open it I get the message "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Auto Contrast". After clicking OK, I get another window saying "After Effects error: Crash in progress" as you can see from the attached images. Please can anyone help me open my file again, or at least recover my data from the project!? I've tried everything and anything already! By the way I have no problems with RAM or anything as my other compositions are ok.

Adobe After effects CS6

Hello, I know it's been a while but I'll leave my two cents for anyone encountering this problem.
Adobe knows about this bug, and the solution they provide worked for me: http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/kb/crash-plugin-shadow-highlight.html
I know the article is about a bug while using shadow/highlights, but it can happen while working with different plugins, in my case, I was using Warp stabilizer and an adjustment layer above it with auto color, but it happens to different combinations, such as: paint & shadow/highlights, puppet & auto contrast, etc. Apparently, the streamline AE works with prefers footage with effects precomped before applying an adjustment layer to it.

After Effects Error. Would Appreciate Help.

Everytime I render in AE, I get the following error.
after effects error: Error (4) reading frame from file "FILENAME" ( 86 :: 2 )
Now I've Google the error, and I've tried turning off multicore processing, but that doesn't help. If it helps, the error happens at the exact same time during the render.

What kind of source footage are you using? As you can see on Mylenium's error code database, it may be an issue with either a missing/corrupt frame in an image sequence, or perhaps a codec issue.
What happens if you navigate to that point in the timeline? Does the frame draw correctly?

What is the deal with CUDA? I read that it doesn't work well with ATI cards so why does AfterEffects ask me to install the drivers? If I do, it crashes on startup...
Can someone please help me with this, I don't get why AfterEffects can't use my ATI GPU and asks me to install drivers that make it crash...
After Effects is not asking you to install a driver that makes it crash. It is telling you that you need a specific kind of card WITH a specific driver installed. You need both things. The message could have been worded better though.
CUDA is NVIDIA technology. After Effects uses NVIDIA's proprietary technology to speed up the ray-traced renderer. You can't use that technology without an NVIDIA card.
You have three choices.
Check the radio button so that you don't see that warning ever again and live with the slow rendering of the ray-traced renderer.
Install an NVIDIA card that fits the specs requried.
Don't use the ray-traced rendering at all. There are much better options. Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, and Zaxwerks 3d Invigorator are three very good choices for quick-rendering 3d in After Effects. Also, if you have After Effects CC, you can use Cinema 4d that comes with AE for all your 3d work.
I would suggest option 3. The ray-traced renderer, even when accelerated, is not a very good option for 3d in AE. That's why the AE team decided to integrate heavily with Cinema 4D in the latest version of After Effects.

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks" URGENT!

My name is Tyler and i'm a Mult-Media Editor in training. Just recently meaning just this project i've been getting this error "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in “Looks”." every time i try to render. If i try to remove the clip where it messes up and replace it with another it will just mess up in another spot.

2. Upgrade Magic Bullet Looks to MBL 2.0 from Magic Bullet Suite 11 (Didn't Work)
3. Uninstall my gfx card and re-install it with the newer version (Didn't Work)
4. Reset AE preferences by pressing alt+shift+ctrl on the shortcut (Didn't Work)

I've never had this problem before and hope that someone has a solution to this problem... if so please post an answer. I don't know if its because i put the plug in on all of my clips and then made an adjustment layer with another Magic Bullet Looks or if it's my clips fault but i just dont know what to do.
-Tyler

It sounds like Looks is only crashing on this project. If that is so then it's most likely a problem with one of your video clips. Either there's a corrupted frame or some other codec glitch that's throwing the errors. I'd suggest replacing footage items with temporary footage. You could even use solids. Replace one at a time, then undo, until you find the footage that's causing the crash. Then either re-compress that footage to another codec or replace it.
If Looks is crashing on every type of footage then you need to pursue other options that are more system related.

After Effects error:crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in"scripting"

   I made up a bat file with 8 commands like" afterfx -m -r ...." .
   It will startup 8 AEs and render my work. But when I double the commands with starting 16 AEs,7-8 of them are carshed,says "crash occurred while invoking   effect plug-in"scripting" .
   And "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was:<2312><ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry><0>Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.0\Defaulting to 'en_US'."
   I am confused for a few days. Need help here.
Warm regards

Good question, but I would suspect that the previous instances simply never correctly unload and/or parts of the auxiliary services like dynamiclinkmanager or qt32server remain active/ loaded, ultimately causing a conflicht or simpyl chewing up all your memory...

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "particular"

Hi, I was trying to following the Kramer's tutorial "The Ring" in AFx (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/the_ring/), that involves the use of Trapcode Particular, and all went well..
Then I've customized it, not drawing a circle, but a square, and after a while AFx started to crash very frequently reporting this message:
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effects plug in "particular"
this happens only when I work on the compositions with particular plug-in.
I'm working on my "old" iMac OSX version 10.4.11
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
with CS3, open GL disabled (because not supported)
thanks for any help!

I'm guessing that you're running out of RAM.
The system requirements state 2GB as a minimum (I know the page links to CS4, but it seems the CS3 one's aren't available).
Have you made sure to run all necessary updates?
I know you've been able to work with 1GB for awhile, but you've probably been pushing that envelope.
What are your comp specs (frame size, frame rate, etc...)?
Are you trying to view at full res, or lower?
Have you modified your RAM preferences?

Since you seemed to miss it, I'll just directly give you the link provided on that thread, but I really recommend that you carefully read that thread about the issue that you're facing. It inlcudes information about conflicts with ATI drivers.

After Effects error: crash occured when invoking...

I get this error: After Effects error: crash occured when invoking rendering plugin "AE_openGL" when I have videos on the timeline and I am scrolling through them.
I run Windows Prof 7, 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920 Multi-core (4 total), 12 GBs Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (2x). My system is fast. I saw one suggestion to turn off openGL. How should I set up my preferences to avoid this?
Thanks.

OpenGL should work even with SLI off. Yes, you lose some performance, but for AE's limited use of these features, it should be neglectible. If for some reason you still get crashes, then you may need to push a few otehr knobs and levers in the driver settings or install a new7 different driver right away. i just cannot offer you a blanket solution that would work from a distance. OpenGL settings are delicate, so you'll have to invest some time in your own experimentation...

Do Not Delete program files that have been installed with an installer. BAD idea. Use the uninstaller. If you have already made the mistake or the uninstaller will not work use the Adobe Cleaner Tool then re-install from the latest build.

After effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in

Hey, im using after effects cs6 and everytime i try to change something to my shatter effect (or other effects, mostly shatter) i get the error: after effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in. Please help

Well I only have version CS3, however I got the same error while trying to open Knoll Light Factory plug-in. I tried several times and it never worked. I searched and found a couple of 'fixes' but they didn't work (for me).
What did fix my problem, I looked inside the After Effects directory, specifically at C:\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\(PCI)\Setup\... - inside this directory is the file 'Setup.exe'. This setup file is the Adobe After Effects Third Party Content Installer. I ran this setup file, after it finished doing it's thing, and without rebooting, I opened AE, loaded a project and went to Effects and the KLF plug-in. I chose it and it opened perfectly without any glitches or errors. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but it did for me. Not sure if there is any difference in versions as well, like I said, I'm using CS3. I have since rebooted a couple of times and no problems with AE or the plug-ins (fingers-crossed).

After Effects error: strange situation [0/-939524096] ( 26 ::139 ) help!

I am editing footage from a Nikon D7000 in Premiere. I select all and replace with after effects composition. Aftere effects opens and gives this error message. I am on a windows based machine.

Thanks for you responses. This is a short sequence with about 20 clips. I have in the past used this workflow successfully on short sequences. I like to assemble in pp and then apply colour correction/colour grading, and some sharpening in after effects. This problem has occured since I went from AE 5.5 to AE creative cloud. It was my intention to contrast and colour correct each individual clip as needed, then using an adjustment layer over the entire sequence to apply a colour grading. As an enthusiastic beginner, If there is a better way to accomplish this Id love to hear it.

After Effects Error message @ Startup, NEW Macbook NEED HELP

So I'm working with a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012, I just bought it,
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2
Installed the most up to date CUDA Mac Driver: CUDA 5.0.37 driver for MAC
After Effects was running fine -no errors at startup - when I didn't have the GPU CUDA enabled.
I found out that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB, is CUDA Enabled
So, I installed the CUDA 5.0.37 driver for MAC
I opened Terminal and ran a GPUSniffer to get the name of the Graphics card
I opened another window in terminal and ran a "sudo nano" command that listed the default supported Cards, I pasted my card name.
NOW I can choose GPU instead of CPU for Ray-tracing, WHICH IS GOOD, Its what I was trying to do. BUT something is still wrong because I keep getting an error message at startup: "After Effects error: Ray-traced 3D: Initial shader compile failed. (5070 :: 0)"
I DIDNT GET THIS ERROR BEFORE I INSTALLED & ENABLED "CUDA GPU"..............What is wrong?

Don't manually manipulate that text file. That is unsupported, and you are on your own if you do so.
What you should have done is to install the 11.0.2 update to add the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer for your 650M:
