After Effects Mavericks QuickTime not available

Hello.
I have the following problem. I have OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I use After Effects CC. I want to render a video as MOV (QuickTime). I go to the Render Queue -> Output Mode -> format not the opportunity to select MOV. It just is not there. QuickTime is installed on Mavericks as default all codecs would be theoretically available. What am I doing wrong?
When I try to render the video in Media Encoder CC I have the opportunity to select MOV (QuickTime). When I render it I get an unknown error.
THANKS

Hey Szalam
I use the following version of After Effects CC (12.2). I have solved the problem. I uninstalled After Effects CC and installed it again. Now I have the missing format (MOV). My After Effects has always been on the most current version. Why a new installation has helped I can not understand. But it works now and I'm happy
Thanks

After Effects says Quicktime Not installed

My computer setup:
Macbook Pro Retina i7
16gb RAM
OSX 10.9.4
So, I've gone through all of the various ideas on this page and the pages it links to and the pages those pages link to as well! But no luck... After Effects CC 12.2.1 works fine, the dynamic link manager and the QTServer32 both run and everything is great. If I try to open After Effects CC 13.0.2 it hangs on initializing the media core, and then after a few minutes finally opens, but gives me the warning that Quicktime is Not installed and obviously I can't do anything useful with After Effects. Acitivity monitor shows that dynamic link manager and QTServer32 are not running. I turned off my firewall, and I've gone through all of the various solutions (removing import/export codecs, fixing permissions, etc.) carefully and throughly. Last night I reinstalled AE 13.0.2 after using the Adobe uninstaller with "remove preferences" checked. But this morning, same problem. Any ideas? It seems like a common problem with a myriad of solutions but none of them seem to fix my problem...

You say that you "fixed permissions", but are you absolutely certain that you made the entire Adobe preferences folder and all of its contents readable and writable? Mac OS setting items in that folder to read-only is by far the most common cause of the problems that you describe.

After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

What "Components" of After Effects require QuickTime?

I get the message "quicktime is not installed on this system some components will not work correctly" whenever I startup After Effects. It is true that I do not have QuickTime installed on this system, but I do have several questions. (This isn't any type of error, I just want to know what QuickTime does):
What "Components" of After Effects require QuickTime?
What version of QuickTime do you recommend that I should install for the best performance? I've heard that there are a bunch of different kinds and I don't know what Adobe After Effects uses specifically.

After Effects uses QuickTime for importing and exporting several kinds of QuickTime movies (.mov files).
Install the most recent version of QuickTime 7.

After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515) ( 25 :: 101) *POSSIBLE FIX*

Hi. Im New to the forums so sorry in advance if i do something incorrect
Since my Purchase of Adobe CS6, I was not able to use dynamic link, or the plugins that required you to connect to the Adobe Analysis Server (3d Tracker, Warp Stablizer ETC) It would always give me the error
After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)
( 25 :: 101)
Or if i would use dynamiclink
The Importer created a generic error
Through hours and hours searching through the internet, and trying possible fixes, i found possible fixes that might help people with this error.
*Before attempting any of these fixes, make sure you reinstall CS6 Using the Adobe Cleaner*
This guide is for Windows OS Only.
If the error still presists, try these options
-If your windows account is not a administrator, Run Adobe After Affects CS6 As Administrator
-Disable your Anti-Virus and your Firewall
I know you have probably heard this over and over again, but this is mainly the cause of the problem. Some Anti-Viruses even when disabled, go into some sort of one eyed open mode, where it still monitors your computer ever so slightly, so you may want to uninstall the anti-virus. As for the firewall,
1) Go to your start menu search "Check Firewall Status"
2)Then to the left of the window, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off
3)Then tick "Turn of Windows Firewall" on BOTH Home or work network and Public Network.
-Close and Uninstall filtering and spyware programs such as Netnanny and Premiere Opinion. This might be using the TCP Ports that is needed for After effects, dynamic link and adobe analysis server to communicate
-Start up Adobe Analysis server Manually. This can be done by going to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files and running Adobe Analysis server.exe as Adminisrator, Then starting Premiere, After effects, etc.
-If the Adobe Cleaner didnt already, Clean your registry. This can be done with free applications such as CCleaner.
If none of those options work, I would suggest a full format and reinstall of windows.
I hope this would help people with this issue.

You can download and install the latest version (and older versions) of versions 11, 12, and 13 from Adobe right now. That is why I was asking for the exact version number with decimals. Just the other day, someone said they were running the latest version and they weren't aware that CC was even a thing. They were running version 11.0.3 (which isn't even the latest version of CS6 - it's 11.0.4). That's why I always ask.

I'm on a Mac so I don't have anti-malware, or other security software running.
That doesn't seem like a good idea. While there can't be anything technically referred to as a "virus" on the Mac OS (due to the underlying structure), there can be (and are) malware variants out there that do attack machines running the Mac OS. As Apple products have grown in popularity, developers have been creating more and more malware aimed at OSX.
I certainly hope you at least have your firewall running.
captain_astronaut wrote:
I tried launching Premiere yesterday and it crashed.
This points to a much more serious underlying problem. Thousands (if not millions) of people are running Premiere and After Effects on Macs. What sort of error messages did you receive when it crashed?
Try installing version 12 of AE and the previous version of Premiere as well and see if they run.

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...

After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108)

I am using CS3 After Effects and have been receiving this After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108). Can anyone help with this issue?
I am using a Mac Pro 6-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz with 6 memory slots at 1GB DDR3 ECC at Speed 1333MHz.

Sounds like one of those many "old version of AE on new hardware" issues... You may need to fiddle with Rosetta or install it in teh first place, if you haven't already and you may also require a specific older version of Quicktime...

After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)

Hello,
I'm getting the following error message:
After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
I have yet to find an answer that works to resolve this problem. I'm using CS6 on an HP Z220 on Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.

So I solved the problem. A little history for this situation: I created a new AE project and while attempting to import a file received the error message: After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
I then tried to import a Vanishing Point which broken the spell on the error message and allowed the menu to select a vanishing point to appear. I closed out of that and was then able to import files.

I go File > Export > Quicktime, and get the following error:
"Quicktime not available. Please make sure Quicktime is properly installed."

any suggestions?

I get the error: "Quicktime not available. Please make sure Quicktime is properly installed."
This happens when I try to export a movie from Flash CS4. I've reinstalled CS4 and Quicktime, and it seems that Flash still cannot recognize Quicktime (Pro).
Quicktime opens just fine separately, any thoughts?

any suggestions?

ITunes crashes when trying to access the iTunes Store -- Quick Time is installed but diagnostic says "QuickTime not available"

I'm getting a Windows error and iTunes crashes any time I try to access the iTunes store. I'm not sure if this may be related, but when I run a connectivity diagnostic, system info shows:
Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. EX58-UD3R
iTunes 10.5.0.142
QuickTime not available
I have QuckTime 7.7.1 (1680.42) installed and it works without trouble. Is the fact that iTunes doesn't recognize my install possibly related to the crashes? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both programs a couple times.

Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46) CS6

Hello I just created a project in AE CC and wanted to save also a version for CS6.
All went ok but when I tried to open the project in CS6 I received the following error:
"After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46)"
Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

After Effects CC is much, much better at handling characters that are outside of the character set used by the OS at its current language settings. So, file names and paths (and other strings) that work fine in After Effects CC and later may fail with earlier versions.
For example, if you are running your OS and applications in English and have Chinese characters in your file names, After Effects CS6 and earlier will fail, but After Effects CC and earlier will succeed.

And what if you simply trash the whole prefs folder/ move it out of the way? AE should happily re-create everything with factory defaults. realyl sounds like one of your workspace files is damaged, perhaps due to a crash.
