After Effects Text missing from project view (yet renders)

I am new to the CC but have played with Adobe in earlier versions (mostly CS3). I have purchased some project files from videoden to give me a starting point (I learn best when playing with something that already works, picking it apart and rebuilding). Only problem is, the text is never visible when I work.
When I open the project it says: "the project must be converted from version 9.0 (windows). The original file will remain unchanged" There are no font dependency issues reported. When I open a text layer I can see a rectangle, but not the letters. I read on the forum that the cache can cause problems. I emptied it, rebooted and started over, still same problem.
So it is the project that is corrupt, right? Wrong. Even when I make my own, add Arial (or some generic font like that all systems have) it wont show up on screen either. And even the project I was having problems with, when I render it the fonts appear properly.
Is there some view that does not show fonts in text areas?
I am running 8gm ram, win 7, Lenovo, with After Effects CC

Text missing from vertical view- Ibooks Author product

I made a book in ibooks author. In the horizontal view, it looks perfect. In the vertical view, large chunks of text are missing from the book semi at-random. If I attempt to insert the missing chunks of text into the vertical view, then when I switch back over to the horizontal view, I just get repetition where the text shows up twice. That means it is impossible to make the book look good both horizontally & vertically. Any idea how to solve?

Remember, layout in landscape and edit content in portrait.
Check in both.
If you like, you can disable Portrait in the Inspector.

After Effects is missing from the Creative Cloud Desktop application

It took over 10min for me to get to this place just to ask a question...REALLY ADOBE, You can't make it easier for people to get help with your products? I'm into my 50th min trying to install a trial version of After effects on a PC. After updating and creating my Adobe Cloud account, After Effects is no where to be found. I'm really frustrated and may switch back to Final Cut Pro! Someone wanna tell me how to install After Effects. Ridiculous!

If After Effects does not show up in the Creative Cloud app then your system does not meet the System requirements | After Effects - Adobe. This question has been ask about two or three times a month since the Creative Cloud was announced. You can't blame Adobe that you didn't read the system requirements before signing up for Creative Cloud. Other apps may be compatible and you may be able to use CS6 by filtering the available apps like so:

Beauty Box plug-in missing from project

I have been using Digital Anarchy's Beauty Box plug-in on my home PC rig to edit a project. I have been having huge compatibility issues between my video cards and the plug-in (frequent crashes and color shifting during render).
In desperation, I have copied my project to a portable hard drive.
At my day job, I have a Mac Pro running 10.8.5. I have successfully transferred this project back and forth between the two computers in the past, so I figured it would not be an issue today. I re-installed Beauty Box (the Mac was wiped clean since the last time I edited the project on this exact Mac), opened PPCC2014 and opened my project.
Beauty Box is missing from all the clips, though it shows up in the PP effects tab as a plug-in I can use.
Anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Here's some more detail for clarity - the plug-in is installed in the folders it needs to be in, PP reports it as loading during the splash screen. But when I open the project, select a clip from the timeline and open the effects editor tab, the plug in does not appear as already on the clip, which it is on my home system.
I have already tried the fixes found here:
Features and Sequence Presets missing | Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Step one does not apply since there is no "deactivate" option under the menu as listed in the instructions.
Step two did not solve the problem.
Step three: I am unwilling to uninstall and reinstall PP at this time.
Additionally, Adobe states:
When you open a project with references to missing effects, Premiere Pro does the following:
tells you which effects are missing
marks the effects as offline
performs any rendering without the effects
This is not happening, either. The effect is missing from the clips as soon as I open the project.
SOAPBOX:
I am becoming very frustrated with PP and am considering moving my project over to Avid to finish it. I also report all my difficulties to the head of post where I work. We have been on FCP7 but are preparing to change. Based on these issues, I would recommend switching to Avid rather than PP. Avid is more difficult and less functional, but in my experience it is less problematic than PP at this point.

Strange ... Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector.

Strange goings on here with my Libraries: Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector. When, in Projects View, I double-click a Project, that Project's contents are shown in the Browser, but the selection shown on the Library tab of the Inspector remains on "Projects" near the top of the tab.
This is, imho, _very very very bad_. Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine? Is this announced or expected?
Thanks.

Hi Kirby,
I never noticed!
Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine?
Confirmed! (on MBP und iMac)
Is this announced or expected?
Don't know - it does not follow from the release notes, as far as I understand them.

Column name missing from a View

I tried to create a view based on another view but the column header is missing from the view.
The view was create with the following statement:
create view TEST.MDQ_VU_TEST2 (FXT_BANKCODE, FXT_FCY, FXT_FXINDICATOR, SUMFXT_FXFCYAMT, SUMFXT_FXLCYAMT, CASESTMT) as

Thanks is advance.

Thanks Gary - I tried it on 11.2.2.2.0 64bit on Linux x86/64 but it again succeeded for me. That's probably due to my mocked up base table versus your real world definition.
Would you be able to open an SR so we can investigate this properly? We'd need:
ttCapture off the instance (so we get the correct DSN definition)
base table and indexes SQL definition - a ttSchema taken off the datastore would suffice.
Thanks.

After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file.

I'm using CS4 in Windows XP SP3. When I work with video in Photoshop, apply filters as smart object, and save as psd, then import into AE as footage>merged layers, I get this message: After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file. The file open as just the footage with none of the work I did in PS.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Am I missing some step along the way?
Thanks!

Isn't it obvious? AE does not support smart filters. It will only use the rasterized content of a PS layer. Hence you will have to rasterize the layer in PS to retain its appearance with all the effects applied. Look in the help which specific PSD features AE is able to support and translate.

Select a Project in the Library Inspector from Projects View -- now broken?

The new interface is missing something I used to use all the time. In Olde Aperture (3.3.1), double-clicking any selected Project(s) in Projects View showed the contents of that (those) Project(s) in the Browser and selected them in the Library tab of the Inspector. This behavior has been changed (3.3.2): now the contents are shown in the Browser, but as a subset of the superset of Projects, which remains selected in the Library tab of the Inspector.
This represents a bit of a dam in my workflow. I manage a few Libraries with thousands of nested Projects. I often need to select the Project in the Library tab of the Inspector. Double-clicking a Project (or Projects) was a great way to select those Projects in the Library tab of the Inspector. Is there a quick way to do this in 3.3.2? The old way kept with Aperture's visual orientation. Currently, I am having to memorize the names of Projects in order to find them. This is, afaict, a step backwards.
Is there any justification/benefit to having "Projects" remain selected after one double-clicks a Project or Projects in Projects View?
Notes:
- when two or more Projects are selected in Projects View and then double-clicked, one can right-click an Image and select "Show in Project" from the pop-up context menu. When only one Project is selected originally, that menu choice is not shown.
- you cannot open the Project Info pane after double-clicking a Project in Projects View. You must either return to Projects View and click the "i" icon on the Project tile, or otherwise right-click the Project name in the Library tab of the Inspector and select "Show Project info" from the context menu pop-up.
Thanks .

Léonie and I discussed this once already, but other than acknowledging the problem, didn't progress.

Kirby, I see you have explored this annoying change more since your post last month, when AP 3.3 came out.

None that I can think of.

Only the "Goto Project" button in the "Project Info" panel, but I would not call that quick.

But that is really a nice work-around - just take care to at least select two projects at the same time.
I missed that feature, because I was annoyed that it does not work when selecting one project.

But at least you can still double click the project and go to the project with the "Project Info" HUD open, and it will stay open. But it is cumbersome to have to remember to open the HUD before going to the project. Otherwise not even the name of the project will be displayed. I have added the name of the project to each metadata view, so I can see it in the Inspector HUD as well.
I rarely use the projects view and rely heavily on the folder structure and the search field to quickly find my projects.

Text missing from menus and icons

Can anyone help? All the text is missing from my Mac Mini! Every menu in every application and on every icon: there is simply no text. My computer is completely unusable!

Hi.
Try booting into Safe Mode, by holding the Shift key at startup (right after the chime, and until the gray screen with the spinning gear). It will clear the system fonts cache, and run the fsck command (repair the boot volume).
Good Luck.

After Effects Render Engine Loads project over network then closes? Any advice please?

Hi,
I have just started trying to use the After Effects Render Engine over the network. I have followed some online video's where you have to set the main project computer as Multi Machine output etc and then collect folder to a network drive then go to the node computers and open Render Engine and go to watch folder and point it to your files on the network drive. It finds the project and opens it but then instantly closes it and then continues to search.
Where is this please?
Also I can't seem to tick "Skip Existing Files" in my project
Kind Regards
Joe

There is no built-in network render features in AE, so we probably need to see that video you are referring to.
A wild guess though, is that you are trying to render a video file, instead of an image sequence. "Skip Existing Files" only works with sequences. Anyway there is, to my knowledge, no way to make several machines write to the same video file. But you can start the project rendering an image sequence, from multiple computers, to the same network folder, and then use the "Skip Existing Files" feature to prevent overwriting the frames.

Adobe After Effects-Text problem

Hello!
Recently,I wanted to start learning how to make a kinetic typography videos.When I try to add text,the text looks like this:
Screenshot by Lightshot
I have to say,I am a begginer in using after effects,so any advices are wellcomed.:)

Your comp viewer is at 1600%. Turn it back to 100% and all will be well.
And my advice to every beginner is to go through this: Getting started with After Effects It may look like a daunting wall of text, but it's not nearly as daunting as trying to poke at AE without it. Take each link one at a time and you will eventually have a solid foundation in how to use AE. AE is not like Photoshop or Premiere where you can just click around and eventually you'll figure it out. It takes a while to learn (and I don't just mean a few hours).
