After Effects won't start

downloaded the trial from cloud, it works fine untill I restart my computer, cloud still works fine but when I try to open after effects it simply won't run. double clicking does nothing, the icon is basically a waste of space after i restart my computer. I also notice that after I restart cloud always has an update to fix the bugs in after effects cc, but that doesn't help the start-up either. Can anyone help? thanks!

Without system information, all this is useless.

After Effects won't start Media Encoder

I'm trying to render from After Effects through Adobe Media Encoder, but the link will not work. I tried using Ctrl+Alt+M, and I tried opening it from the drop down menu. AE simply won't work with AME.
It worked before I upgraded to CC 2014, and I can still render out of AME through Premiere CC 2014.

Larchuck on another thread suggested this and it helped me as well. He was using windows 8 and I, 7, but it worked
Get Properties on the AME .exe
Under Compatibily Tab I checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and selected windows 8
Hit apply
AME opens.
I went back to the Compatibilty Tab and unchecked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and I also clicked the button above it (Run compatibility troubleshooter)...went through its process and AME is woking again.
Turning it off again didn't work for me though so I'm leaving it on

After Effects won't start up after 11.0.4 update (Mavericks)

Hello,
i have just installed After Effects CS6 11.0.0. I'm getting the message that i can't open the program, because it has to be updated. When i did update AE to 11.0.4, the message "The program Adobe After Effects CS6 can not be opened. -10810"
Anyone???
I did try to install it again, but with no good results..

That's a Mac OS error code that indicates that you have too many processes running. Restart your computer and try again.

CS6 is 3 years old... long before Yosemite
Mac Yosemite causes problems for some people, especially for OLDER programs

QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
Error signature from Windows:
EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load

After Effects CS6 Not Starting?

Hello,
I have hard drive issues, usually resulting in corruption or deletion of Windows dll's. Each time I run a chkdsk /f in my command prompt, it fixes the disk issues, but manages to delete a dll from one of my Adobe CS6 Production Premium Softwares. Last time, it was a dll from Premiere Pro. Now, it's from After Effects. It lost the boost_threads.dll file, which I replaced, but now the program will not start with error message 0xc000007b. Simply replacing the dll working in fixing Premiere Pro, but it won't do the same in AE...
Any ideas on what could be causing this and some fixes?
Thanks in advance,
Jack Reynolds
Windows 8.1, Fully Updated. After Effects CS6.

If it gives you a splash screen at all while it's starting, you should be able to see the version number.

That's the link to the update file for AE. You could try running it to see if it works.

Why not? People uninstall the whole suite and reinstall it all the time to fix issues such as the one you mention.

Adobe After Effects Crahsing on Start up

I just added a new SATA hard drive and after getting it partitioned several of my Adobe Applications crash upon start up to include After Effects, IIllistrator, Encore, and Bridge. The After Effects Error message indicates that there is an issue with the dynamiclink manager. I am not sure if the new hard drive has anything to do with the problem or not. This hard drive was just added for more space. The adobe applications are on another drive entirely.

On which drive are the apps exactly? Did you trash the prefs? Sounds like they are simply looking for configuration data and it just isn't there because you jumbled up your drive letters or something like that... Also if you just moved the apps to another drive, this would be expected because likewise, all the configs and rtegistry keys would no longer fit and if bad comes to worse, the licensing system may go belly up... Work out that prefs thing and/or reinstall.

After Effects cc not starting due to optix.1.dll error or not designed for Windows

Hi support team,
                       I cannot open after effects cc due to a problem with a optix.1.dll error . Attached is a sreen shot. I suspect is the nvidia video card that has problems.
Anyone one has the same problems? Any solutions for this? Thank you.
Regards,
Elias Lo

Hi Todd,
           Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by reinstalling the After Effects CC. This error occurred when I haven't updated my laptop , especially the video card updates. Therefore , optix.1.dll is only 0kb as a file , in the support file for AE cc.
              I hate the GeForce experience by Nvidia. One of its updates caused Windows to prevent starting. I have to reinstall Windows and reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud, hence the issue. Thanks Todd , will always be an Adobe supporter.

After Effects won't run after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi there,
My After Effects CS6 ill not launch in my other user accounts since I've upgraded to Yosemite. I have installed the plugin/update that was released and it works in the Administrator account, however, not on the others. Even when I go into the accounts themselves and install it and restart, I have the same problem. This is a lab for students so I cannot delete the accounts and start over as they all have work on these accounts. How can I resolve this problem?

It may be a permissions issue. That's usually the case with an upgrade with Mac OSX (especially since the administrator account works). fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications |

Mp4 from After Effects won't play on iPad Air

I have a series of mp4 vids - some are exported from Premiere, others, After Effects - CS6 Win7 x64.
They all play in iTunes, but the vids from AE won't play on the iPad. Even when I sync them the iPad identifies them as unplayable.
Any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks.

There's a million different things that could be wrong with your MP4 settings. You'll need to post all the compression parameters for anyone to assess the problem properly.
The easiest solution, and one which will give you better quality video anyway, is to use Adobe Media Encoder to do your compressions, rather than After Effects. It has iPad presets built right in, too.

What exact version of AE are you using? CS6, I get, but is it 11.0.4? If not, consider updating.
What OS are you using? Did you update that recently?

After Effects doesn't start (Vista)

Hello Community,
since yesterday my After Effects doesn't work anymore. I rendered a file and after some hours I stopped. I didn't shut my PC off, but I left for some hours. When I came back AE didn't start anymore. I just got the error message. It says that AE can't proceed anymore: an error occured while starting the application.
I googled a lot for a solution. I read a lot about the preferences. I tried to hit ctrl+alt+shift when I started AE with no success. I found the preferences file and deleted it, but I still got the error.
Today I reinstalled AE. But it didn't solve the problem. The were no error message anymore, just the standard windows error sound occured. After that I reinstalled all my Adobe applications, but Illustrator, Photoshop and especially AE still don't work. I have no problems with Bridge.
I also installed the 9.0.2 Update for AE, but after that just the the error message occured again when I start AE.
I don't know what else I can do?! I really need your help. Thanks
I have Windows Vista with the newest updates.

Let's stick to the thread on Video Copilot....

After Effects doesn't start.

doesn't start. nothing. just a *ding*. even if i run as administrator. ditto for my other adobe programs.
It has worked fine before! but after i downloaded a few stuff from videocopilot, it just stopped.
when i click it all it does is show my cursor loading, makes a sound, and doesn't start.
PLEASE help me if you can.
ps. dont ask me for screenshots. you can't possibly get screenshots in my situation.

Did you try re-creating the After Effects preferences?
Should not add to the matter. If he can't launch any Adobe program, something serious is up. I would suspect that the whole licensing system has bugged out. also could be the Adobe Updater that either doesn't work at all or got interrupted while updating something critical. Anyway, Elaine's first aid tips are the first thing to look into. Beyond that, more info on the operating system is required. It would also be relevant, as from where the Video Copilot stuff was downloaded, on the chance it includes ripped versions of the DVDs. It may have brought some virus with the torrents .

After Effects doesn't start due an unexpected Error.

I downloaded & installed After Effects through the Creative Cloud client in my macbook pro 15" (Retina), but the program doesn't start. There's always the same error message (sorry, it's German): "After Effects kann nicht fortgesetzt werden: Unerwarteter Fehler beim Starten der Anwendung", which means something like there's an unexpected error while starting. I deinstalled it, downloaded it again, always the same - its that a known problem and how can I solve this?

Kein Plan. Unerwartete Fehler sind eben genau das - unerwartet. Was sagt das Crash Log zu dem Thema (auf Report klicken, wen ndie entsprechende Warnung kommt) oder rausfischen: Working with your Operating System’s Tools?
