After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

Hi There Fellow Adobe After Effects Users.
Please could some one help assist me with the following error i am getting.
I bought a template and needed to do a logo animation reveal. It was done using After Effects CC for PC.
AE had to then convert it to Mac which did so successfully. I was able to modify, add my logo and render out.
The following day i opened the file again and it gave me the follwoing error:
"After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands"
What is confusing to me is that this issue would normally appear if my graphics cards did not support OpenGL, and it would not have opened in the first place if it was not supported.
My graphics card is a - ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB - running Mavericks OS. So i know that this card does support GPU acceleration.
Please could someone point me in a direction that will fix this.
Thank you so much

Thank you for the update Mylenium.
If I look at my display info, the card says OpenGL engine. Does this mean anything?
If it's not supported, then what's the point in purchasing a Mac If you cannot use AE's full capacity. Mac doesn't put Nvidia cards in there machines and on the Adobe website, ATI cards ate not listed; but in the same breath it says that most ATI cards that have come out in the past 5 years are supported. Surely Adobe and their technicians must have spoken with Mac technitions.
I am considering to buy the new Mac Pro; but am definitely going to change my mind if I cannot use AE's full compatibility. I don't see why spend so much cash if the cards aren't great.
Please could you then tell me what functions to switch off in the project file. I'll get the guy whom I bought the template from to switch of those functions.
Thank you.
Have a great day

After Effect warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

I have After Effects CS6 in a computer where also CS5.5 is installed. 64bit windows 7 Ultimate 20GB memory and two AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series Display adapters with drivers updated an hour ago (Driver date 27.7.2012, version 8.982.0.0).
When trying to use After Ecffects, I get error message "After Effect warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands" immediately when clicking Composition window.
What could be done?

Not much, I'm afraid. You probably need an older graphics driver. Other than that you could always disable the second card or play with the configuration. Unfortunately some not so smart person decided that CS6 would no longer need manual OpenGL control for the user, so there's no way to suppress it from within the program to force-revert to software-only modes in case of such issues...

( CS 6 ) ... problem occurred when processing opengl commands.

Hi everyone
I'm using After effects CS 6 ( 11.0.2 )
Mac Os X ( 10.8.3 Mountain Lion )
ther's a error message that pops up every time I open a composition and scrol to a certain point ( the moment when optical flares ( Video Copilot ) starts )
after effects warning: a problem occurred when processing opengl commands.
the error essage pops up - I pres ok - it pops up again repedetly until after effects crashes
( I got a lot of 3D stuff in this composition - 1 camera but no ligths or such - no cinema 4D or 3rd party progras involved )
I hope anyone is able to help me
I already googled my problem a couple times and I just found results for after effects CS 4 or CS 5.5

I recreated my composition by turning off the render stuff and just copiyng all of those effects into an new comp - I also reinstalled the plugins - some of em like twitch werent installed prperly so they didnt render or such - or just update after effects all of this plus restarting my iMac helped me ( didnt shut it down for 3 months - worked perfectly fine by the way - that says actually a lot about apples quality ( HUGE FAN ) )

After Effects CS6 won't open: "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."

I cleared my computer but I managed to get After Effects CS6 back by looking in Windows old on my hard drive, every time I try and open AAE I get this error message "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."
What should I do?
Thanks.

Does it launch after that error message?
What version of CS6 is it? 11.0.4? If not, try updating to it.
Why not simply reinstall from your original disk or download?

" Title on the warning : warning, a problem occurred"

I've just bought final cut studio 2. i've installed it and everything seems ok, BUT... when I switch on the mac, a window now appears, bearing the symbol of FCP and it says, more or less (I translate it from french) :
" Title on the warning : warning, a problem occurred"
I've reinstalled FCP, I've trown the prefs, I've updated to 6.1... but nothing... the message remains, everytime I switch on the mac....
It actually doesn't seem to affect the applications... but it quite affect my nerves, after having spent 1000€ for this app... ;-)))
If anyone can help...
thanx!

thanks javabob, but I cant find it
...maybe in my french mac it's called in a different
way.
could you kindly tell me the complete name of the
file and where you found it in your mac precisely?
that would help me a lot in matching the correct
file.
hanks
found it!
it's in system preferences/accounts. in 'open programs' you can delete anything you don't want to appear when you restart the mac. I had actually a few programs that would lauch themselves automatically.... by deleting them here I solved all these problems, including the annoying 'alert' pop up window!

After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document.

I have been struggling with this problem ever since CS4 was installed.
I have the CS4 Mac Master Collection.
I am using Illustrator to create text for animation in After Effects.
I can create text in Illustrator and import it into After Effects fine. But when I go to make a change to
the Illustrator file, even as simple as changing a color, I get this error.
After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (50::29)
The Illustrator file is then toast as far as After Effects is concerned. It cannot be opened or reimported.
I have to start over again and over again, rebuilding the Illustrator file each time.
HELP!!!

This is an issue with AI and ultimately therefore also the AI routines that AE shares to access such files. Has been there forever and neither the AI people nor the AE team seem to be able to fix it in a consistent manner. Simply save a copy of the file from AI, then use Replace Footage instead of reload or at least always fully reload the AE project.

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.

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.

After Effects warning - The file Plug-ins/cineware ae default.c4d could not be found

Hello,
Running AE CC and whenever I start a New MAXON Cinema 4D File I get this error message.
After Effects warning: The file '/Applications/Adobe After Effecgts CC/Plug-ins/MAXON CINEWARE AE/(CINEWARE Support)/default.c4d' could not be found.
I looked and the files are still in the plugin folder and all looks well. Can't seem to find any specific info on the forums or when I checked the FAQ.
Thanks,
Dan

When did you install the 12.2 update? The reason that I ask is that we had a brief problem when we first uploaded the update, in which not all of the Cinema 4D components were included. That problem only lasted for a few hours, but it meant that people who updated immediately after we released the update had problems like the one that you're describing.
Try uninstalling and then re-installing After Effects. This will ensure that you are downloading the current and known-good update files.

I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

I had this problem after converting some MPG's to avi's... the resulting filenames were 'foo.MPG.avi' ... the error message only seemed to indicate it was foo.MPG, so AE thought it was a MPG container type by parsing wrong, when it wasnt. i renamed all my files to just the avi, like 'foo.avi' and then imported into AE and it worked, no errors.

Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
HP Elite 7000
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit
Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
Cheers!!!

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

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...
