Have you flushed the media cache? If not, try that. Also trash the prefs. Other than that I'm not sure what to advise, but perhaps your system event viewer may provide some details abouzt those crashes.

After Effects freezes, and "Initializing MediaCore" issue.

I've been looking around for hours to solve this problem but I can't fix it...
I have been using AE CS5 for almost a year without a problem but the other day it suddenly frooze and now every time I try to start CS5 it freezes when "initializing mediacore" in the splash frame. Sometimes after restarting the computer I am able to start CS5 but it then freezes after a coulpe of minutes and then I can't start it again...
I've read about the mediacore issue but I can't solve it, my firewall in deactivated...so there shouldn't be a problem with it stopping ae from communicating with QT?
Also I've tried installing an older CS3 version, it starts, but keeps freezing at the same place everytime I try to render my project...
Any that knows how to fix this?
Im using OSX version 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz i3, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, the latest Quicktime

Thanks for your time guys!
When I took a closer look at the QT files i realized I'd been in the wrong Library/Quicktime...
So how do I know which files to keep? Just trial and error until it works or do you know which files specifically should be there as default?
thanks again

I just dowload the AE trial version on a mac with maverick and The start up screen is freezing on "Initializing MediaCore".

The start up screen is freezing on "Initializing MediaCore" and after 10 minutes it is open saying i have no quicktime that is no true ???
i am working with maverick on a mac book pro ?

This is not a chat room, sometimes it takes time for someone to post a reply. What have you tried? We don't know any specifics about your system.

Encore CS5 freezes on "initiating transcoding" during startup

At the moment I am a very frustrated Encore CS5 user. Help.
I cannot get Encore to open. The program will start and when it gets to "initiating transcoding" it will become non responsive and the only way to stop it is to turn the power off on the computer.
I previously ran CS4 for at least a year on the same computer with no issues. I upgraded to CS5 in early september and was able to successfully burn at least 2 projects. All other CS5 components work fine EXCEPT Encore. This latest behavior seems to have started about two weeks ago.
I've done the following
1- an earlier post suggested upgrading a roxio driver. Did that - no change.
2-I've followed most of the simpler suggestions on the "Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows (cpsid_82252) - including trying to wipe preferences (couldn't figure out how to do that on Encore - since it won't open!), creating a new administrative profile and updating every driver I could think of. I did not yet try the more involved strategies such as selective startup.
3-I completely uninstalled CS4, Reinstalled CS5 and updated. Encore opened once and will not open again.
Oh and I also called Adobe support - waited on hold for over an hour to speak to someone on a very lousy, almost inaudible connection only to be referred to the same document I'd already read on my own. I was told I could pay for support (which seems ludicrous given that the program won't even open and is brand new!) and was even willing to do that, but the support tech seemed to imply I should try uninstalling cs4 first.
So now I'm back at square one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My computer is an HP
windows 7
pentium core i7 cpu 902 @ 2.67 2.67
9 gb ram
64 bit
with two 500gb drives and an external raid Terra.

You can try one more thing.
Just enable your drive
try with other software to burn a small file(nero or any other software)
if it works, Install the roxio drivers from
http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/General%20Information/000070GN&PARAMS=
Reboot your system and try to launch encore.

Adobe illustrator Cs5 freezes on initializing screen

I am running Cs5 on OS 10.9.2. IN the last two weeks it has started freezing when I try to open, and the program become unresponsive. The only way to exit the frozen "initializing screen" is to force quit. I have been using it on this platform for over a year.
As far as I know I dont have any third party plug ins installed, but I do have a few 3rd party fonts.
Help please!

j,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
The first thing to try may be Item 1 in 5) (Corrupt fonts).
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Adobe After Effects CS 5 and CS 5.5 Freezes (Initializing MediaCore)

For about 3 days now my adobe after effects cs5 and cs5.5 freezes with "Initializing MediaCore".
I tried reinstalling, changing a bunch of things, disabling my firewall, etc.
Before it was not freezing at all, but I think the problem is because I have too much fonts, could it be the problem ? I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
Please help me,
Maxime.

I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
RLY? That's bordering on being certifiable for the asylum! Even print people never use that many. Sure, it could be a huge part of the problem - there may be damaged/ "bad" fonts among them or the sheer number could consume tons of memory. Really, get rid of 99% of them. Not only is it a hinderance in your work, but just using insane numbers of typefaces doesn't compensate for any typographic deficiencies. How many fonts do you intend on using, after all? Other than that MediaCore issues could point to corruptred media caches, so flush them. also check your CoDec setup. If you have installed some equally unnecessary CoDec packs as you have done with fonts, get rid of them...

Initializing mediacore... how do I return CS5???

Not that I want to... but so far I have gotten NO help from adobe on this issue and can't find a solution.
I have both CS4 and installed CS5 on to my W7-64 system. AEFX CS4 work fine. CS5 stalls on Initializing MediaCore and then after 10 min it starts but says QT components not installed (but are). Funny thing is that if I create a new user profile and log in, AEFX CS5 starts fine. I don't get it... I have tried some of the solutions noted in various posts, but to no avail. I have:
- uninstalled and re-installed
- pulled out plug-in folder
- started in safe mode
- deleted preferences folder
- started AE as Admin
NOTHING IS WORKING AND I NEED THIS TO WORK IN MY CURRENT MAIN USER PROFILE!!!
Please, please, please ADOBE help me!!!!!
Thanks,
Todd

You don't have proper permissions to load system drivers and start services, most likely. I suggest you do a little reading here. This should give you the right idea what to change and where to look. If managing services manually doesn't help, changing your group policies (gpedit.msc) is the otehr alternative, at the cost of reducing system security, because you need to include your user to allow meddling with system services, even if not admin...

Initializing MediaCore CS6 Freeze

On starting After Effects CS6 on my MacBook Pro, it perpetually hangs at "Initializing MediaCore" and will not start up.
I've checked system updates for OS X and all the Adobe CS6 Apps (I'm using Creative Cloud), and all is up-to-date. Removed all my third-party plug ins, and uninstalled and re-installed After Effects--each time rebooting the machine. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
I've seen a few similar threads for CS5, but no suggestions seem to fix the problem.
Anyone else have this problem w/ AE CS6? Or (hopefully) found a solution?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Although I have uninstalled "Perian", which I didn't know I had. But when I spotlighted it, it came up in my "system preferences pane" with an uninstall button. SO I uninstalled it and tried to restart AE. But it still hangs at "Initalizing MediaCore". I did a permissions repair and restarted. But still it hangs at the same spot. This just started two days ago. I have not loaded any other plug-ips or add on's. I am using CS6 Production Suite. On a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon, with 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm. Running 10.7.5 Lion. And as luck would have it, I'm on a deadline. I saw the Media Encoder comment and wanted to go that route, but now I can't get back in. It's just hung at this part of the loading process.

AE CS5 stops @ 'Initializing Mediacore' Windows 7

I'm currently trying out the trial edition of After Effects CS5, and all was going well. I was learning how to do Typographys and other animations. Til just recently, AE wouldn't load. The Splash Screen would come up and it would reach 'Initializing Mediacore' and it would just stop and not respond.
Now I have done my research and tried countless different thing to make it work.
I've tried:
Reinstalling Quicktime.
Downgrading Quicktime to 7.3
Reinstalling AE CS5
Restarting Computer
System Restore to when it was working
Disabling Firewall and Norton Firewall
Running as administrator
Using a different user account to trying running AE
Removing all the files in the mediacore folder
Removing all 3rd Party Codecs (Never had any)
The thing is, I did stop using AE for about a week and in that week I installed two big programs, avast! and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall, I have uninstalled both completely but still no luck.
Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Computer:
Windows 7
4.00 GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
64-bit Operating System
How do I fix this annoying problem?
Thank you.

Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Pretty clear...?! I would assume your virus scanner/ firewall have done something weird to specific Quicktime components and they are permanently flagged or their permissions have been set in such a way that they cannot be accessed. Those tools may also have enabled DEP and ADSLR, which are not compatible with QT and iTunes. Similar could have happened with some recent Windows Updates or QT itself. In any case, I don't see an easy way to fix this. There is certainly something wrong, be it just some Registry key or on the file level. The only way to get to the bottom of this, short of a full W7 reinstall, is to use Sysinternals' Process Monitor, set it to filter on AE and monitor which files and reg keys it accesses. The only other thing might be some issues with QT's hardware acceleration and legacy CoDec compatibilty and that only takes a short trip to the QT system control panel...

Initializing MediaCore Freezing

Whenever I opened up After Effects CS6, it would start up, but it would load and freeze when it said Initializing MediaCore. The problem persisted, so I downloaded After Effects CC. It worked fine for a few days, but soon it encountered the same problem. I have a project for school on there that is due tomorrow, but I can't finish it because After Effects hasn't been working. Please Help. Thank you in advance

Hang Initializing MediaCore

In Logic pro 9.1.7, all of a sudden, it freezes at 'initializing core audio! Does someone have a solution to this problem?

In Logic pro 9.1.7, all of a sudden, it freezes at 'initializing core audio! Does someone have a solution to this problem?

Well, let's see:
a) computer
b) operating system
c) application (i.e. Logic)
b) sub program's (i.e. plugins)
could all together trigger the cause.
So a lot more info would certainly help us to make some sort of intelligent guess.
Have a nice day!

Bridge CS5 freezes when using 'reveal in explorer'

Bridge CS5 freezes when you select a file and try to "reveal in explorer". The command does work, it does reveal the file in explorer but then the bridge window turns white and freezes. It usually doesn't happen in the first time you click 'reveal in explorer', but if you do it enough (3x or more) bridge will freeze eventually.
I'm going back to Bridge CS4.
*I'm using Bridge CS5 on windows 7 Professional 64 bit

This sounds like a memory thing. Check the spare space on the HD (it should never be more than 75% full), defrag the harddrive, clean out your trash bin,check to see if you paging file is installed, and your RAM is working properly.

After Effects CS6 - Initializing Mediacore Issue - More Complex.

Hi, I recently got After Effects CS6, and I have had the program open a few times - when I say a few, I mean 4 or 5, all in the same day, and I was only opening and closing the program to check to see if I'd installed plugins correctly. So, anyway back to the point; I sat and created a 10 second clip for which I was going to use for a YouTube intro. I finished and exported the clip, only to find that after I had saved and closed the program, the clip I had exported was some form of .AVI that had encoded incorrectly (or something similar, this part isn't particularly relevant.) Then when I tried to re-open AE, the program hung at the 'Initializing Mediacore...' section of the loading screen, and it has done for a while now. I have tried restarting, re-installing, removing the 3rd-party plugins, and re-intalling QuickTime. I've been reading all the forums and looked up the issue on YouTube, and all the answers are wrong or lacking information about my issue. Every working answer I find is either about about a Mac issue, or any Windows issue keeps mentioning these 3 programs; Adobe QT32 Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, and PProHeadless.exe, none of which I have.
I run a 64-bit, Windows 7, Acer Aspire with 4 GB of RAM. Any helpful - emphasis on the helpful there - information will be greatly accepted.
Cheers.

The executables are in the program directories. Still, none of that is probably relevant. Something is damaging your media cache and/or blocking those services from even launching, which takes us back to basic trobleshooting steps which are:
Run as admin
Turn off security tools
Verify file and folder permissions on the temp and user directories
Cehck drive integrity and health
