After Effects : Unexpected error on launch (échec inattendu au démarrage de l'application)

Hi,
I've got this issue on first launch of After Effects on Mac (mavericks). Nothing loads, just this error. I un-installed then re-installed and it still display this error. Any idea ?

yes, I'm french so my OS is in french and so is the error message. I translated the message in the title of this thread. I installed After Effects CC with Creative Cloud dropdown app.

After Effects Plugin Error when launching

I recently installed Red Giant Knoll Light Magic Pro plugin and get the following error when launching AE CS4 9.02 on a 2.53Ghz Intel Macbook Pro with 4Gb Ram and Snow Leopard.
After Effects has encountered an error.
[/Chincillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEPlug inVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]
then I get:
After Effects can't continue: An output contract violation has occured!
then:
After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore
I have also lodged a support ticket with Red Giant but wanted to see if anyone had experienced, or could shed any light on this error code.
Thanks

As a start, move the KLF plug-in out of the shared MediaCore folder (Library:Apllication Support:Adobe and something; not on my Mac ATM) to the conventional AE plug-in folder (Applications:Adobe After Effects CS4:Support Files:Plug-Ins) I've reminded my friends at RG a hundred times, but their installer stil luses bad default locations. If that doesn't fix it, then indeed you have a problem. Which version of the plug-in are you using? Most complaints revolve around v2.5's GPU usage, which is on by default and causes a lot of trouble. Older versions do not do this, so they are more stable....

After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

Hi everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
• 6GB reserved for other applications
• Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
• After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
• Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
• CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
• RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
• Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
I've since tried -
Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
Lots of combinations.
But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
The chose Edit > Purge > All
And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

After Effects warning: Error with directory?

Okay so recently I was having issues with text layers not displaying properly, and I posted here and found that the solution was to recreate my preferences file. However, since then I have been getting an error while starting AE that says "After Effects warning: Error with directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\8.0\MediaIO". Is there a way to fix this without returning to old preferences file that gave me the original problem?

And what happens, if you simply delete the error? The directory itself is not that important, as it merely holds presets and caches for Adobe Media encoder based formats (MPEG-2,WMF, etc.). AE should re-create it, if needed. Short of that, check the permissions on the folder as a starting point...

After Effects warning: Error parsing properties list.

Hi all,
I got this error message today when I got back to work from over the weekend. This is the first time I have seen this error and have had no real luck finding any good fix for it.
this is the error message:
After Effects warning: Error parsing properties list.
I am running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 Service Pack 2, with AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250, 2.39GHz, 2.00 GB Ram
The error message pops up in a small box with the above message, I hit ok to close the box and nothing happens and I double click AE again to open it and it opens with just the top navagation bar and the rest of the window is grey. It does not open completely and If I click anything it crashes. Giving me a message about it can't continue and to contact adobe support for know issues.
Has anyone had this problem and if so whats the best fix?????
THANKS so Much in advance!
David

Start by quitting After Effects and clearing the entire preferences folder. I.e., delete the entire /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.2/ folder when After Effects is not running.

Error code 6 & media offline & after effect warning errors.

Increasingly I am getting the attached error messages when I try to open files. (mostly .psd and .ind files)
1.) It often says I don’t have permission to open the file, it is not the right type of file, or the file doesn’t exist... none of which are true.
The files always work if I copy them locally and open them from my harddrive.
2.) "media offline" error.
3.) after effects warning error.
Help needed. Thx.

Hi Saif,
You might get several issues, if you are directly opening files from the server or a network location, to your machine and editing them. You might also get issue while saving then to the server. I think your issue is one of them.
This is because, several thing comes into picture while you are opening, editing, saving files over the network. You may face some network issues, firewall issues and mostly permissions issues.
So, adobe always recommends to save the file locally on the machine first and then perform editting and saving operations. once you are done, you can copy it to the network.
Check the below article just for reference.

We had this problem for a while now, the Splash screen hang with the message 'Converting Scrap…' in the info panel.
Our old work around was deleting the preferences folder in "C:\Users\Adminsitrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects" and replacing it with a backup of this folder, removing the cache folder and doing a reboot.
Today that didn't work either - so I followed the instructions from the Error Log (Check Aplication Log in the Windows Events Viewer) and found a tool called 'Action Center' in the Control Panel.
Inside the tool click on 'Troubleshooting' > Programs > Program Compatibility Troubleshooter   .. and follow the instructions.
It will run your application in some kind of safe / compatibility mode; and for us that did the trick!

After Effects CS6 Error: Unknown Exception.

I keep getting this error when I open CS6 "After Effects Warning: Unknown Exception". I didn't use AE for like a week and while starting it up for work I had to complete the errors started...
Pressing ok gets me to "After effects: AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer Plugin: Unknown error in Adobe Dynamic Link" and then it closes with "After Effects can not continue: unexpected error during application startup".
I tried EVERYTHING! Searched on google, visited every page with people having the same problems, mostly on Mac systems and older versions of after effects and I still can't fix it and can't find anything on CS6 as most of these were on CS4 and some on 5. Guessing those with errors on CS6 might have reformatted their drive.
Im running Windows 7, 64-Bit. Using a High-End workstation(WS-X6) from "Workstation Specialists", so I don't think its a Hardware/OS issue.
Cleared preferences.
Did a reinstall from the disk.
Used CCleaner Pro.
Used the Adobe cleaner tool.
Google the Error, went to all pages with the same error.
I looked at every reply concering this error on this forum.
Downloaded a new trial.
Nothing works. Now obviously a reformat would do it but I got tons of stuffs on this machine and I'm not gonna reinstall it just now. I'm using nuke for the moment but would like my AE back.
Screenshots - Pretty sure this has something to do with my Mediacore but I don't know what as the disk reinstall should have fixed it. Even downloaded a new trial version, same thing.
Screencap GIF
Hope someone here knows how to fix this without any reformat. Thanks in advance.

Well that would be associated with *Visual C++ and I don't think I'm missing anything as I run photoshop also and it runs fine, not affected by the error here. Forgot to mention that I also was running premiere but when the errors with AE started premiere just stopped, would load for 1 second and then close. Somehow they're related. Also, when I run dynamiclinkserver and run AE it clings at Initializing mediacore and when I terminate the process it gives me the error again, gonna check the event viewer and get back to you.
"This error occurs when your application indirectly calls a pure virtual member function in a context where a call to the function is not valid. In most cases, the compiler detects this and reports the error when building the application. But depending on how your code is written, sometimes the problem is detected only at run-time. "
