After Effects Vanishing Point Error

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavillion with 4 gigs of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2.13 GigaHertz per core. When I try to import a .VPE (Vanishing Point) file I did in Photoshop, After Effects, gives me this error:
"Unable to execute script at line 280. Uncaught Java expression:
SyntaxError: XML error in line 46.
- Not well-formed (invalid token)"
What does this mean and how can I fix it?

This should not come up at all. It looks like Internet Explorer is having a hold over your XML files and tries to generate a preview of them whenever they are accessed. As a temporary measure I would chnage the file handler association to another program such as the Editor or Wordpad. Also look into updating your Java. With these complex interdependencies everywhere, it's hard to nail down the culprit. If the error persists, have a look at the VPE fiel and tell us what actually is the content of that ominous line 280 and the successive lines in your VPE file. Simply copy&paste the text here (open it in Editor or Wordpad).

After Effects wont open error message

Hello.
My After effects wont open. I've read many forums and info that others have written about it not opening. Stuff about erasing fonts, deactivating fonts, then also, finding folders /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore---> which was empty and had nothing to erase or do anything with http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/973961 ...Still nothing.
this is the error.
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
My computer is a brand new mac book pro. Tip Top of the line. Not sure what other details i should give.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
UGH boooo
thanks

I saw that there were a series of questions i need to answer in order to get the right answers.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number.
12.2 - after effects CC - CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
yes. i even uninstalled and reinstalled the newest...again.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mac OSX 10.9.1
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
2.3 GHZ Intel Core i716GB 1600 MHZ DDR3Macintosh HDprocessor #: 1Zero external drives connected.I use my local connection with my desktop to share files. Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 16 GB
What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MBInstalled CUDA
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
NO
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty.Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes. although there is another window that says A LOT MORE!!
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
trying to open it.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
It has worked for about 4 or 5 days. It was even working when i was doing the same action prior to the last time it stopped working. I was uploading a file from my other computers file. Which i had done many times throughout the day. As i work on one computer and when i have to leave and bring my laptop with me i do so. Because i work on my computer all day long. Desktop or laptop.
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
10.3
What other software are you running?
iWork - Numbers
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Yes. I've since deleted them but i'm not sure where else to find the files if they're still around. ?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Not sure i know what that is?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
its just not opening
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
if that is the Double line play button then yes.
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
Not sure what that is.
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Thanks for any help you can give me:)

After Effects CS5.5 Error Rendering known clean project even after Reinstall and after System Restore

I've been getting frequent, but not consistent, errors during rendering AE CS5.5 projects with lots of 3D layers and lights. I have gone back to a known clean project to confirm the issue isn't with a particular project. The error is usually an error invoking the advanced 3D render engine. This is sometimes followed by a bad tracked memory id popup. But sometimes the program just hangs up.
My System:
i7 [email protected]
24GB RAM
Windows 7 professional 64 bit SP1
NVidia Geforce GTX 570
I have trashed the preferences, cleaned the cache, turned off rendering multiple frames, deleted Open GL, updated the graphics card drivers and even tried reverting to old graphics card drivers. Window's Memory Diagnostic Tool didn't find any problems. System File Checker Tool didn't find any corrupt files. My system drive is not fragmented. I have reinstalled AE, reinstalled all of CS5.5, and did a system restore to a known working point (both with and without doing the Windows updates that have occurred since the restore point). None of this fixed the problem.
I have tried the script BG Renderer to render in the background. I have consistently gotten the following error running the script, which I'm hoping will be a clue:
"aerender ERROR An existing connection was forcible closed by the remote host.
:Unable to receive at line 314
aerender ERROR: After Effects can not render for aerender. Another instance of aerender, or another script, may be running; or, AE may be waiting for a response from a modal dialog, or for a render to complete. Try running aerender without the - reuse flag to invoke a separate instance of After Effects."
The first two times I tried to render with BG Renderer, the error came right after closing AE. But I still got the same error if I left AE open and just sat and watched.
Any help is appreciated.

Update: I believe I have discovered the problem! It was a bad RAM stick. Windows Memory Diagnostic tool found nothing wrong, and nothing in my system seemed to be effected other than the ability to render complex AE projects with 3D layers. After a complete system restore to a known working point failed to help, I opened up the machine. Finding nothing loose, I methodically tested all the memory sticks to find the culprit. Everything is running smoothly now, albeit on less RAM.

After effects cs4 "distiller error"

I recently bought and installed adobe creative master collection cs4. My computer isn't the best...but i made it meet the minumum requirement nessecary to run the programs.
Anyway,more to the point.
Every program seems to work apart from adobe after effects, i was looking forward to using that one.
When i open it, i have to minimise all other windows, or it won't load, all i hear is the good old MS "beep error sound".
about 1/10 times it will come up with an error, i don't remember exactly but something along the lines of this.
"another instance is being used in distiller. this instance will not continue".
Any Ideas, it's probably something simple i know
P.S-I installed all the updates nessecary, at 1st it was running, but i made a few clicks and it closed itself, now it refuses to run, i have uninstalled and re-installed it. it gets to installing the media core and stops.

Another app (some older Adobe software, presumably) is having a hold on your shared PDF libraries or the Adobe font system, which AE also needs to deal with vector files or legacy PostScript fonts. The quick, but unelegant solution is to terminate those programs/ services (Acrobat quick starter for instance) by killing their process in task manager, the long-term solution would be to straighten out that mess and get a handle on which program does what. My colelcted whisdom on that just published a few days ago:

After Effects CC Render Error H.264

Win 7x64
Adobe After Effects CC 2014 13.0.2
QuickTime Pro 7.7.6 installed
I'm IT. Not a day to day user of CC Products.
I have a client (Uni) that is having trouble rendering in After Effects H.264 with complex renders. Basic 'simple, single image' renders work without issue. And the error output is set to 'errors only' yet nothing spits out. Users are Standard Users.
Where is a jumping off point to decipher what is breaking?

That's nice.
But from your initial query, it's difficult to know whether this person is importing h.264 footage or trying to render h.264 footage. H.264 footage used in AE can cause problems with certain effects, and it is NEVER a good idea to render to h.264.
So this could be an operator error rather than a system error.
So I tell you what, Mr. IT Guy -- go buttonhole this person, put your heads together, and answer the litany of diagnostic questions you'll find here:
FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Between the two of you, you'll have a much better chance of coming to the root of the problem... but separately? That's a crap shoot.

Transfer FCP to After Effects CS5 XML Errors??

I seem to be having a problem. I am working on a music video and need to put some final touches on it, mainly using the remove noise tool to get some grain out of a few shots that had bad lighting. I found a way to transfer my Final Cut Pro project to After Effects using XML with an AE script called FCP2AE. I placed it in my AE scripts folder, went to Final Cut Pro, selected my video, exported to XML and then went into AE to run the script which would allow me to open the Final Cut XML file (which is what the instructions told me to do). But for some reason everytime I try to open the XML file nothing happens at all. After Effects just sits there, it wont import the file. If I click on it AE says, "After Effects error: Can't import file "export.jsx": unsupported filetype or extension."
Does anyone know why it is doing this? I would like to try and avoid exporting a Final Cut clip then importing to AE then exporting back out to Final Cut and importing all over again. If anyone has any answers please let me know. Thanks!

Are you using the proper version of the "plug-in" for +your version+ of AE? I've used this plugin with AE CS3 & FCP, flawlessly, many times.
So, I would contact Popcorn Island, the place you got the plug-in from. When I needed some tech support they were quick and on-point. Though I got the developer's direct email address after posting a comment, when I had issues. Contact me directly at kevincbrock at gmail DOT com. And I'll give you Ross's email address.

After Effects CS5.5 (Error 3)

Hello, Im trying to install After Effects CS5.5 (trial) on my computer. The installer works perfectly but when I try to load After effects up straight after the install I get an error telling me to reinstall which I have already tried plenty of times including on both of my different harddrives. If you guy's know any solution for this problem or can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Chris001.123 I would recommend beginning with the Adobe Support Advisor. It will automatically analyze your installation logs and look for a solution. Beyond that the document Troubleshoot CS5 and CS5.5 installation with install logs details the steps required to review your installation logs. I believe this is the document Mylenium was referring too.

Adobe After Effects Cs6 Installation Error. HELP!

When i do my installation of Adobe After effects cs6, i install as trial version, because i want to see what it is like, and i do everything like everyone says, and then it stops at 2 percent saying Installation Failed and it comes up with these solutions, and i did them all about 5 times and it STILL wont work! SOMEBODY HELP!
And it also saidthis in the error summary:
Payload '{0A1E2FE2-B2AD-42F4-9C74-641853FB093A} Photoshop Camera Raw 7 6.0.98.0' information not found in Media_db.

I have exactly the same problem when installing CS6 Trial.

After Effects CC (2014) Error "I need some serious help right now!"

I wanted to create a Superman opening title sequence from After Effects CC (2014). So, I decided to download it from Creative Cloud and put the new "amtlib.framework" file on package contents in the "Framework" folder. I open the application and I get this error.
Then, this other error popped up.
That's where I'm at right now. So, a few questions come to mind.
1. Should I open it in trial mode and quit out of it and then add the "amtlib.framework" file to "Framework" or will it just open and give me the same errors?
2. Do I have to turn off my Wi-Fi and then open the application?
3. Do I have to get the updates first?
Anyone who knows what to do with this issue, I would appreciate it. Don't give me BS answers and don't tell me that I have to update from Mavericks to Yosemite, because I have no interest in Yosemite.
Before I forget, here's info on my MacBook for those wondering.
This is an old laptop I had in the last week of January of 2011. I upgraded it to OS X Lion to Mavericks on 2014. I'm still on Mavericks.
Anyways, some answers and guidance would be great so I can fix the issue and move on.

This is an old laptop
Yes, it is. And with an unsuitable processor and insufficient graphics memory at that. This will never work. You can only download an older version of AE as a trial.

Adobe After Effects CS5 & Quicktime ERRORS / crashing...

Greetings,
I am having a lot of AE CS5 crashing (app just quits for no reason while scrubbing) and other weirdness...like today, and I am being told on the Adobe Boards that it 's Quicktime related. I am rendering a 3 minute piece in ProRes 4:2:2 (1280x720p) to my RAID (no special plug-ins or anything) and I get the following error at the very end of every render:
+After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file (insert my RAID path here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)+
They are telling me the long number at the end indicates a Quicktime problem, which is unfortunately not so rare with 64bit AE due to how Apple does not really have a 64bit Quicktime and Adobe needs to work their way around some of that.
Is this true? Can I fix this on my own or is there a 64-Bit QT Pro coming with the new Final Cut Studio? Any input is gratefully appreciated...thanks.
Joey

After Effects CC 2014 Error "error cannot be imported this moov file is damaged or unsupported"

Well, outside of the RAM preview issues that are stopping me from using AE CC 2014, I decided to at least use it to render a AE CC project already composed in CC.
I shut the CC project opened it in CC 2014 (same computer, same drive) and got the moov file error message. It would not recognize any Quicktime PNG movies, etc.
But the old CC does recognize them. Back to CC!

See this for troubleshooting QuickTime issues:

The permissions issue for the preferences folder seems to be the most common culprit recently.

After Effects CS5.5 - Error ( 3 :: 3 ) please help!

Do you know how to get rid of error ( 3 :: 3)?
I have installed After Effects CS 5.5 on my new Mac, through the Adobe Creative Suite Help / Download CS 5.5 products. This error keeps on coming up when ever I open an old project or I'm about to save a new one. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, used the clean up tool provided by Adobe and nothing is working. I even chatted with Adobe Tech Support and the user informed me that my "issue needs expert assistance". I could really use some help! Please and thank you!

Thank you Rick! I have reset the permissions in the Library/Preferences folder, I don't know if I did it correctly so I made a before and after to show you what I changed.
And here is the new warning message now. And when I tried to save a new test composition, the original error came up, so I'm assuming I didn't change the permissions correctly.

After Effects CS6 upgrade error in mac mavericks

Say hello to everyone.
Now i'm very tired and irritated about upgrading after effects cs6. Because my mac version is mac os x 10.9.5, mavericks so have to upgrade After Effects cs6.
BUT, only upgrade version 11.04 installed, and the others (11.01/ 11.02/ 11.03) still not installed and have an error message : the error code is U44M2P7.
What is this code mean and what should i do next?

If you have 11.0.4 installed, you have everything in 11.0.1, 11.0.2., and 11.0.3
There is no reason to install any update other than 11.0.4
