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.

After Effects warning: Can´t write to font cache directory

After Effects warning: 'Workspace.xml' Rename Error

I've already done a full uninstall and re-install. I am unable to open after effects, and this is the error I keep getting: After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/Home/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/Workspaces.9932.1407353177382401.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.
After clicking twice, I'm given this error message:
After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup
And then After Effects shuts down. Any thoughts?

Thanks. Oddly enough, this is what did it.
That's because it was a permissions issue as Todd said. Something wasn't set right, but when AE has to recreate it, the permissions are set correctly. Screwy permissions happen all the time with Mac OSX upgrades.

Hi Rangnath,
For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

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?

Help with After Effects CS6 error please?

I'm working on a kinetic typography project in CS6 as my final assignment for my Motion Graphics class. It's nothing too complex, just some text to some song lyrics and I decided I wanted to do some camera movements around the text but when I checked the 3D box next to the layers, I get an error message,
88:3, "error: TDL:outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork."
I literally only have one background picture and then quite a few text layers but that's it.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm still kind of new to After Effects and working with vector so I apologize if I'm not too savvy with all of this. Here's a screenshot of my composition if that's of any help.
*Edit: Oh and my text doesn't need any extrusions, the only 3D transformations I've made to the text layers is "pulling" their positions a little closer on the Z axis.

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 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: 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. "

After Effects MediaCore error

Hello,
I was trying to install some .ffx package from a friend I know and I pasted it into my effects directory. I am running a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 if this helps. I put it in there, I don't know whether I could've accidentally put it in a .plugin file and I opened After Effects. It says exactly these 3 things:
After Effects has encountered an error.
[/Chinchillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/VIdeoFIlterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEPlu ginVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]
After Effects cannot continue: An output contract violation has occurred!
After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore.
Please help me, I have to edit a film for school and I cannot do it if I don't have it fixed in around a weeks time.
Thank you in advance.

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...

Mac pro 2x 2.66 Dual-Core

Please some help on this would be greatly appreciated.
everything works except
After Effects
I get this message after launch:
After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/michaelrutledge/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/Workspaces.1405.1407350763865601.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.
followed by

What I've tried:
I've searched this forum found one thread that hasn't helped
uninstalled entire Master Collection and reinstalled
fixed permissions
uninstalled and reinstalled just AE
I am unable to change the prefs directory indicated to add .xml file for folder.
Do not find Workspaces.1405.1407350763865601.xml
I'm about to download the master collection again and try a fresh install of AE.
Thank in advance for any help . . .

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.

Hi,
I have had this problem also with CS6 and found a solution. If I try to open a script UI panel with a project open, I get this message, but if I close the project and then launch the scripts, they write without hassle. Then I re-open my project. Hope that helps.
