Aspect HD and After Effects CS3:

I get the following error in After Effects CS3:
After Effects error: Failed to build Graph
When I try to render a movie (from AECS3) to Cineform AVI format.
The movie has the following settings:
1920 x 1080 (1.00)
29.fps
Millions of Colors+ (Straight)
No Compression
I am following the tutorial here:
http://supportcenteronline.com/ics/s...asp?deptID=614
Any ideas why I get this error?
Thanks,
Simon

No idea, but the message sounds like it is not able to calculate the data rate for the stream and thus cannot compress it. From what little source footage I have in CF CoDecs, I generally get the impression that it's all rather twitchy in combination with AE, so this may be more a matter of tweaking some settings in the CoDec which the CF people could tell you better than me, obviously.

10.5.2 and After Effects CS3

Installed 10.5.2 and the graphics updater on my dual quad core this morning. Importing Photoshop or PICT files into After Effects CS3 is a major mess. These files now import as Pict sequence files of a duration of 1 frame each. This is putting a huge damper on my workflow. Anyone else have this issue? Any fix ideas?

According to the Adobe Forum AE 8.02 is released and should have fixed these issues:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05d846/0
See the bottom of the thread.
I have 8.02 as well as QT 7.4 installed but I'm not a real AE user yet so I can't speak to if the fix corrects everything. As far as FCP goes, I've seen no issues with QT 7.4. It installed before I saw all the threads warning against it but so far I've seen no issues.

OpenGL, nVidia 8600M GT 128mb and After Effects CS3 8.0.2

I've just sold my one year old macbook and bought a new (not so new now, revision C), 2.2 ghz nVidia 128 mb macbook pro.
I did that cause I work with After Effects and thought a bigger screen and dedicated graphics with OpenGL would improve my performance. Sure it did, mainly because I jumped from 1g RAM to 2g in the new computer.
But I'm experiencing a irritating bug that makes AE crash. I've searched in forums, adobe website itself, upgrade to 8.0.1, 8.0.2, made the Nvidia update via Software Update from Apple, and the problems keeps going.
It is mentioned in this document from Adobe: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...2244&sliceId=1
"After Effects error: AE_OpenGL: Create texture error. (5065 :: 0)"
In the solutions proposed in the document it says: "Disable OpenGL", "remove OpenGL plugin" and "Optimize the Texture Memory preference", among other things.
Disabling OpenGL wouldn't make my new graphic card useless in this case ? In the document, Adobe says I wouldn't have problems setting the Texture Memory preference because OSX makes it automatically. But at the same time says that the ideal should be 80% from my memory. If I have 128, 80% is 102.4, right ? My config is set to 114. Have OSX failed calculating ?
Thanks, and sorry for the long thread.

There is a lot of conflicting and/or otherwise terrible info being posted as workarounds to getting the ae cs3 801 and 802 update to actually install. I have read everything from reinstalling the entire creative suite, to writing a custom script that disables the app running list in the config.xml. Hahaha what?! Tech support seems to need a week off...
Ok here's how to get it to install:
#1: go here and delete everything in it--> **user>appdata>local>temp>patcher** (this is in Vista...xp users will get there via c:\docs and settings...)
#2: install the update (it will fail
#3: go to **user>appdata>local>temp>patcher** again and you will see 2 new folders named PATCHER[some number here; ex: Patcher470]. Look in these for a folder named INSTALLER. Once you find it, double click on:
PatcherApplication
Voila- ae cs3 will now update to 8.0.2.
It's as easy as that.

Roundtripping between FCP and After Effects CS3

What is the best way to get clips from a FCP timeline into After Effects, and then back again? How do i do this without purchasing any additional plugins?
Also, how do i get an entire sequence into After Effects and then back into Final Cut Studio?
Yes, i admit i'm at a very beginning stage of my expertise, but i will apreciate any help in mastering these techniques.

Yeah...if you want separate clips, you cannot do this without Automatic Duck Pro Export for After Effects. YOu can export a self contained file and import that, then export out of AE and back into FCP.
Or use Motion., as Tony says.

MXF and After Effects CS3. Please Help!

hi guys...
according to Wikipedia, MXF files are compatible with Adobe After Effects.
i'm using AE CS3 on a macbook but can't figure out how to open/import Panasonic P2 MXF files into my AE project.
please help! it's quite urgent.

Start by reading this section of After Effects Help:
"Import assets in Panasonic P2 format"

Adobe After Effects CS3 crashes with Codecs such as Motion JPEG and Avid DnxHD

Hey guys, I'm new here
I'm having a problem with After Effects CS3 crashing with .mov files (exported from Adobe Premiere) with codecs such as Motion Jpeg A and Avid's DnxHD. Its driving me crazy.
If I import a Motion Jpeg A file, AE crashes immediately. If I import a DnxHD file that works fine with Premiere, it seems to import ok. However, when I try to play it in AE it comes up as a plain white... thing. If I move the slider across it previews one or two frames before AE crashes. Its driving me crazy.
AE works ok with H.164 and animation files.
I'm reinstalled quicktime and Avids codecs, uninstalled ffdshow, disabled Open GL and multiprocessing, changed between 10bit and 8bit (whatever that is all about) with the dnxhd and I'm really stumped. If I can get Dnxhd working I'm fine with that. I thought I'd mention the Motion Jpeg A codec to see if they're a result of the same problem.
I've also tried Avid's RGB packed Codec with the same results.
I'm running Windows Xp 32 bit with 3gbs of ram, a GeForce 8600 gt with a Intel Pentium Duo Core Processor 2.00 GHZ.
Can anyone help me please?

I'm mistaken, Animation files don't work either!
I tried that with no luck. I even tried a few more Quicktime codecs with the same results.
Only H.164 and some png compressed .mov files seem to work. Very frustrating.
I'm surprised thats the case - I am defintley due for an upgrade. Even though this system seems to work ok, struggling a little bit with HD .mov files but yeah, I've been planning a new system for a while.

Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

Hi,
I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3. The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number. After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it.
Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
Thanks, Ron

Thank you.
I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount? I would be free to even sell it?
Thanks, Ron

After Effects CS3 and Windows 7 (32 or 64bit)

Hi just a quick question. As I'm not a real tech expert. I was going to upgrade to Windows 7. In the 32 bit version is the amount of RAM use limited to only 4 gigabytes? And in the 64 bit version is After Effects CS3 free to use as much you put in your computer? I have a quad core cpu and wanted to take advantage of the multicore rendering.
That's important piece of info I need before upgrading.
Thanks very much,
James

After effect is a 32bit application, so it won't be able to get more than 4GB of ram per process. If Windows 7 32 is like Windows Vista 32, AE won't be able to use more than 2Gb per process and more that 2,7gb as a whole because of Windows limitations.
As AE CS3 & CS4 are 32bit application, even in 64bit environnement, they won't be able to use more than 4gb of ram in a single process, but if you enable multiprocessing, each new instances of AE will be able to access to 4gb of ram also, with a max of 16b of ram.
If you have a quad core, and want to use all your processor cores, you will need at least 8gb of ram, because AE needs at least 2gb per core.
So my advice is, drop Win 7 32bit for a Win 7 x64 AE will love you more, and use more of your power.

After Effects CS3 and After Effects CC on one PC

Hi! I have Adobe After Effects CS3 installed on my PC. Everything registered and activated many years ago. Now I want to download and try After Effects CC. What's going to happen with my CS3 registration when I'll install CC? And how can i purchase it if trial period will expired (72 hours)

CC will not do anything to your CS3. They are separate major versions and will co-exist peacefully. For purchasing options refer to the CC website:

Adobe After effects cs3 deployment

Hi
I am hoping someone here can help me. I have to deploy Adobe after effects CS3 to about 30 pc's.
I have done the following command
setup--record=1 which generated a install.xml file and an uninstall.xml file
I am still struggling to understand what the install.override.xml does?,
Lastly is there any way to include the updates needed for after effects cs3 during the deployment?
Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated

I am still struggling to understand what the install.override.xml does?
It overrides dependencies for local installs like language selection and serialization or otehrwise some packages would not install.
Lastly is there any way to include the updates needed for after effects cs3 during the deployment?
Not that I know of, but you could just create a custom MSI script/package that installs them immediately after the original software.

Adobe After Effects CS3 does not work on my new iMac

Hello everyone,
I recently bought myself a new iMac and Adobe After Effects CS3, and guess what, the stuff does not work. I've tried almost everything, been on a lot of forums but can't seem to find any solution. One thing that keeps coming back is that it has to do with the Geforce 8800 GT in my iMac, some kind of compatibility problem between both.
The problem is this, whenever I start AE CS3, a window pops up, stating "Out of Memory ( 23 :: 40 )".
And then something about licensing, but I guess I can skip that window, since that clearly has nothing to do with the problem.
Are there some beta drivers or something for my videocard that I can download somewhere to maybe get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim

Adobe After Effects CS3 horrible export quality

I made an intro for my Youtube channel using Adobe After Effects CS3, in the preview and whilst I was rendering the video quality was remarkable, no flaw in it. But after it rendered and I exported it as a .flv file the quality was horrible and grainy. Since I'm starting a serious channel my videos have to be high quality, including the intro. Is there any way to make it better quality, perhaps a free program that converts it into a better quality extension, or anything. I appreciate any feedback since I really need this intro in high quality.
Here's the video link as you can see it's grainy as hell, even when put at 720p(HD):
As I mentioned before in the preview and whilst rendering the quality was one of the best I've ever seen, no grain or anything, it was flawless, but when I exported, the quality turned to s***. Please help.

Well, straight to the point: Read YouTube's requirements! FLV? They don't even recomemnd it themselves and in the last 3 years nobody serious has used it. There are enough free H.264 encoders based on ffmpeg. Download one and render an uncompressed movie from AE to be used for final output.

I used CS3 Clean script and followed all the instructions for "Bigger problem-solving tools" and "Other Tips & Tricks" on http://generalspecialist.com/2007/02/troubleshooting-after-effects-7.asp.
I'm still having the same problem but only StackHash_d742 is the problem none of the other extensions are showing up, after I attempt to run the program multiple times.
Is there a way to track this file down?

This happens every time i try to import any kind of file. And I'm running the trial version of AE btw.
Now heres the things i have already tried.
1)Reinstalling After Effects repeatedly.
2)updating quick time
3)Deleting the pref file
4)removed any and all plug-ins
5)Deleted the OpenGL file
6)changed by screen resolution.
7)closed down anti-virus programs
8)Tried various ways of importing files, like drag and drop
9)tried importing different files.
10)Restarting my computer after attempting the all above^
I have also been to the general specialist website already thank you very much.
Edit: Now i have also tried uninstalling quick time and all of the video codec packs on my computer, this also didn't help (i did remember to restart afterwards)
Edit: Also, i started a new thread because nothing in any of the other threads on this same or similar errors was at all helpful to me.
edit3: i might also add that i have after effects 6.5 and it works just fine, though its much older.
