After Effects Warning - Unknown Exception

After doing a clean install of Lion to a new hard disk, I installed the CS6 Production Bundle.
The only issue I am having is I get this error box when booting up AE...
I went to the Resources folder to see what might be causing a problem and nothing was evident.
Side bar...I also got this when the Coremelt plugins were loading. I removed them from the Common folder and that error didnt show up again when booting AE.
How do I address this problem?

I downloaed the most recent version and installed it. I worked around the 5.5 installation it did by moving the CM folder in Mediacore CS 5.5 to CS6. When beta testing this usually did the trick. Now I get the excpetion for CM on boot up and the Resource exception does not display anymore. The plugs work fine, just not used to seeing this error message even when I was testing CS6. No big deal.

  • After Effects CS6 - Unknown Exception Popup

    Hi!
    I am running After Effects CS6 version 11.0.3 on my iMac and, now, whenever I open AE this annoying pop-up window appears and says "After Effects warning: Unknown Exception".  I click okay, and everything works fine when I'm working in AE, but the window is getting really annoying and slows me down.  I just wanted to know why it says this and what I can do to stop it?
    I've attached a screenshot:

    I just recently purchased the CS 5.5 production premium. I have done the most recent AE 5.1 update. I am running 09 Mac Pro, with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I do not have any third party effects or codecs. This error has been popping up since the first time I opened AE 5.5.. Hopefully this will help.. Thanks

  • After effects error: unknown exception on frame 0 in 3D Camera Tracker. (1) (25 :: 16)

    I am getting this error code ( http://prntscr.com/2qbcro ) when i open a project i've been working on recently. When i press ok, everything that was in the project dissapears. I've tryed to open other projects with 3D camera tracker, and they works fine. I've also been trying to re-install after effects, but with no luck...
    I haven't been installing any new third party plugins lately.
    I tryed to import the actual AE file. It gives me the same error, but it is not starting up a new project, all the files that i've been using in the project is there in the project panel. But none of my compositions is open. When im trying to open them by double clicking on it, it comes up with a new error saying "After effects error: layer does not have a source (26 :: 335)" ( http://prntscr.com/2qdscz ) (Only some of the compositions is giving me this message, all the compositions where i've been using 3D camera tracker in it, is giving me the message) I'm trying to delete all the compositions that is giving me this error message, but when i've deleted some of them, and i'm trying to save the new project, my after effects crashes, and some new weird error messages is popping up, like: http://prntscr.com/2qdtsu & http://prntscr.com/2qdu67. After these messages it automaticly quits out of after effects.
    If you could help me out, i would be soo damn happy!

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 : Window [Warning : Unknown Exception]

    I've used my AE CS4 for many months already, and it was working fine.
    Recently, I imported some videos into my PC, and then this started to happen:
    Everytime I try to open AE, a window pops up and says "Warning : Unknown Exception."
    I've tried re-installing the program. Didn't work.
    I've even tried doing a C:Drive Disk Cleanup, just in case. Still didn't work.
    I doubt it has anything to do with the video I imported though.
    Can someone help me?

    This is weird.
    "Application Data" does not exist in my C Drive.
    Are there any other solutions?
    And what is the problem actually?

  • 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?

  • After Effects Error: Unknown Adobe Dynamic Link Exception

    I am using latest CS4 PP / OctoCore / 16 GB RAM / OS 10.5.6
    I am not even using any Dynamic link references - just working within AE CS4 in a 1280 x 720 comp and every 10 minutes I get this error:
    "After Effects Error: Unknown Adobe Dynamic Link Exception"
    Is there a way to disable Dynamic Link in AE CS4 (turn it on and off)? I am not using it therefore do not need it. Anyone know the cause of this error?
    Peace.

    Hello, I can confirm Mylenium's point on MP. I checked multiple times with MP on and off. Then I started to check and uncheck the dll space checkbox in combination with MP. Allways the same result: MP lead to the error message when I did a RAM preview. I then removed all scripts from the "scripts" and the "sriptsUI" folders (I have Zorro and the like, too). Same difference. MP was the only factor that had influence on my machine.
    I am using a Vista 64bit Quad at home where I tried this. At work I am on a 8core MacPro, with MacOSX 10.5.8. There I did not experience difficulties with MP.

    Andreas

  • After Effects warning: Could not rename the file  . . .

    everything works except

    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.

  • After effects warning could not create the file

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to After effects, (so new that I haven't managed to save a file). Can anyone help with this? I am running CS6 on an oldish mac pro, but flash and premiere run fine, and so does after effects, except it won't let me save, and instead comes up with this message: after effects warning could not create the file.
    I have even tried saving a file with just a jpeg in it, and it still won't let me.
    Any suggestions? I am a bit confused.

    When you save in AE, you're saving the project file -- which inclues all your work in the comp -- but you can't save the comp itself to a media file.  It doesn't work that way.  You have to export or use the AE Render Queue.
    I recommend spending some quality time here.

  • 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 Warning: Unable to create font." in CC12.1

    I just updated AE to 12.1, and now no fonts work in it.  I originally got the error "Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue," but got that one resolved only to get "After Effects Warning: Unable to create font."  This happens for any area of a comp that has text.  No video will display at all where I have text.
    The fonts are activated.  I did find that some of them had somehow turned off since yesterday.  I'm using FontExplorer X for font management.
    They worked just fine yesterday in 12.0.  Frustration factor high on this one.

  • 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 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.

  • After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component????

    Hello,
    I was wondering why this warning is coming up every time I open After Effects-
    (After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.)
    It also reappears every time I go to a different program then back into After Effects.
    I am currently on a-
    MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.5
    2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    After Effects CS3
    Quicktime 7.5.5
    GeForce 8600M GT
    2 external storage drives (Western Digital, Lacie)
    Matrox MX02
    I just upgraded quicktime and this started appearing.
    ANY IDEAS.

    Sorry,
    Here;s another. I have Quicktime Pro installed. I have CS3 installed. I also have AE v7 which runs a few plugins I am still thinking work in v7. CS3 runs OK but in version 7 it gives me the "Couldn't open Quicktime Video Output Component " notice. I had a client working in v7 so I tried to work in v7, it was a bad idea. I lost days of work and finally just went to CS3 to get the job done but couldn't use one anothers files between versions.
    What can I do to get the AE v7 Couldn't open Quicktime video output component fixed. Make it simple if you can... I'm an artist.
    Thanks
