CS6 After effects Pro Import AAF with R3D files

It can't find the footage, because it appends an ".mov" to the footage name it searches for.
Example: the file name ist "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D", but Pro Import searches for "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D.mov"
How can i fix that. Because replaceing 100 footage files is an idiot work to do.

UPDATE: I searched in the forum and throwing away the DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component seems to have been the solution for me! Running smotthly until now!
Thanks!

After Effects CC stopped working with QuickTime files

I can not reliably use QuickTime (Animation or ProRes codec) in my timeline. I also can't export to QuickTime. I believe accepting the latest update to CC or my system software initiated this problem. I did not have this problem last week. I have converted all of my source QTs to .PNG sequences and .AIFs as a work-around.
System Details:
CS 6 CC | Mac OS 10.8.4 | MacPro5,1 | 96 GB Ram | PROJECT & MEDIA drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | CACHE drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac | CUDA Driver: latest update.
Troubleshooting Info:
• I've read this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-with-after-ef fects.html
• I don't have Blackmagic or Aja, but I do have Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac with the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers. I'll try uninstalling... but I may want to raytrace in the coming days.
• I've trashed the 12.0 folder and rebooted many times
• repaired permissions
• Multi-threding on/off doesn't matter
update
• "QT32Server process" appears then disappears Activity Monitor when I try to render ProRes (output module fails...)
• No firewall
• Uninstaled Nvidia driver. Restarted. Same problems.
and then
• Created a fresh admin user. This seems to work for now: I can read and write QTs through AE again. I'll update if there are any changes.
update again
• Once again, I can not import ProRes QTs into AE CC. Making a new user only worked for 2 launches. The only software I used with this system/new user was Adobe AE CC, PS CC, and Safari.
Any suggestions?
Best,
Benjamin

Hello,
My team and I have been following this thread - we've been having very similar issues. Namely the 86::2 error and "MooV file is damaged or unsupported."
We had these issues on two machines from the first time we ran Ae CC and Pr CC early last week and were on OS 10.7.5. So we did a clean install and upgraged to Mountain Lion.
System Info: CS 6 | FCP 7 | 2x2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon | 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC | NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048 MB | OS X 10.8.4 | Latest CUDA drivers | AJA KonaLHi drivers 10.4.4 (we have moved back from 10.4.5 upon reccomendation from AJA tech support.)
The second machine is the same as above, but with 20 GB of ram.
(Red Giant plugins were installed after the crashes on the clean install)
We are networked with an XSAN.
On my machine, the first listed above, I seem to have stemmed the issue in Ae by uninstalling Premiere. Without Premiere none of the problems in AE occur.
On my clean install the timeline of app installation went: first FCP, then Ae, then Pr. When I installed Premiere the problems arose again, 86::2 error and MooV error and the issue still arrises on the 20 GB machine when switching between Ae and Pr.
I hope that makes sense.
We will troubleshoot the Quicktime files tomorrow. I hope this can be helpful!
Thanks.

Error message - can't run CS6 After Effects

Installed on my macbook pro with OSX 10.9.5 is the CS6 student edition master collection and for the past year I've been able to use all programs I've tried to use, however, when I went to use After Effects yesterday for the first time, I was unable to. I received the following error message: "You can't use this version of the application 'Adobe After effects CS6 with this version of OSX. You have Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0." So, I went to adobe.com and tried to download the upgrades 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, and 11.0.4. After downloading 11.0.4 and clicking on the red folder, I received the following error message for 'After Effects Trial - 11.0.4-mul-AdobeUpdater: "Update Failed. Could not be applied. Contact customer service." Tried this multiple times, no luck. So then I read more on the adobe site and ended up registering for Creative Cloud to obtain the updates for CS6. Adobe recognized that my computer had CS6, provided me with a list of updates, I chose to update all (which took an hour), then, according to the creative cloud, all of my software has been updated. Then I restarted my computer. However, when I clicked in finder/applications on AfterEffectsCS6, I received the same error message. Creative Cloud still says all of my apps were updated. However, After Effects still won't work and looking at the application on my computer, it still says version 11.0 and the date is last year. Why does Creative Cloud show that my programs have been updated and yet my applications don't reflect that? What do I need to do to get CS6 After Effects working? I have a school project due and I've already spent way too much time trying to figure out this problem at the expense of my project. Please help!

Chocchocm have you removed and reinstall Adobe After Effects CS6? I would recommend using the uninstallers available in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove your installed Adobe Creative software. You can then reinstall Master Collection CS6 utilizing the retail installation files available at Download CS6 products.
If you need to locate your registered serial number it is available under you account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find additional details on how to locate the registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly.

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
Greetings,
Daniel

If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it. No guarantees, but it may help. For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that. AE wasn't.

I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop,

Good days, at present I have a complete package of cs6.
With this package of cs6 I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop, the message is " not available: Live photoshop 3d ".
Who is the best sulución?

After Effects does not import live Photoshop 3D objects.
As Mylenium says, you need to use Cinema 4D (included with After Effects CC), Invigorator, Element 3D, or some other plug-in or application to bring 3D items into After Effects.

CS6 After Effects Fast Preview on my iMac

Can I run CS6 After Effects Fast Preview on my iMac with Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB?

Okay - thats great wasn't down for the expense of buying a new mac but is there a reason why my preview is cutting off or choppy. This is the reason I asked in the first place. I can't seem to get After Effects to run the full the length of the animation without it stopping in the middle and looping to the the beginning.
Help me please!

After Effects won't run with OS X 10.9.1

AE wont run on the OS x 10.9.1 sys. What to do

Yes it will.
CS6 (After Effects versoin 11) and CC (After Effects version 12) both run on Mavericks just fine.
You will need to update them to get them to work though. CS6 should be updated to 11.0.4 and CC should be updated to 12.2.0.

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: 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 error: Missing Filters in the file.

I'm using CS4 in Windows XP SP3. When I work with video in Photoshop, apply filters as smart object, and save as psd, then import into AE as footage>merged layers, I get this message: After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file. The file open as just the footage with none of the work I did in PS.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Am I missing some step along the way?
Thanks!

Isn't it obvious? AE does not support smart filters. It will only use the rasterized content of a PS layer. Hence you will have to rasterize the layer in PS to retain its appearance with all the effects applied. Look in the help which specific PSD features AE is able to support and translate.

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.

Motion keyframing with .r3d files

Hi, I have a strange issue in Premiere working with .r3d files from the newest Dragon in 5k. I am working with the newest CC 2014 Premiere.
I want to adjust the framing in a 1080p sequence, where I have to keyframe motion in the effects. But whenever I add a bunch of keyframes in succesion to one another to perfectly frame a tracking shot, it loses some of the motion previously keyframed in the same clip. The numbers in the effects still change, but it doesn't show on the actual video.
This is a really annoying problem that I am struggling with.
If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know. Without nesting or converting the files into a different format, as I need the RAW capabilities for the grade.
Thanks,
Dan

Nevermind. I figured it out. For future reference: This was caused by it being a 50fps clip. I had used Time Remapping to bump it up to 200% to get "normal" speed. This is what caused my problems. Doing the speed ramping in Speed/Duration by right clicking worked in combination with Motion.

After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.

Hello everybodyI have few problems.
1. when I try to launch after effects (juste after the installation), I have this message and I don't know how to fix it
After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.
2 I just dowload AE CC 2014 fort the first time and It say to me The trial version is over....
thank you

if your trial is over, it's over. there's no easy way to re-start a 30 day trial even if it ends before 30 days, Adobe trial software expired early
if you only had problem 1, you could probably resolve it by right clicking ae and clicking 'run as administrator'.

2009 & 2010 MacPro upgrading for today´s Video-editing (Premiere Pro CS6 & After Effects)

I have now two MacPro´s: MacPro4,1 (Early 2009/Nehalem) and MacPro5,1 (Early 2010/Nehalem) and I was wondering how to get the best of them for video-editing with Premiere Pro and After Effects (CS6 or later CC) for todays standards.
The specs of the machines:
MacPro5,1
Early 2010 Nehalem
(http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-mid-2010-nehalem -specs.html)
2.8GHz Quad-core Xeon W3530 (256k level 2 cache, 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache)
32GB RAM "1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM" (PC3-8500) modules (4 x 8GB)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory is installed in a double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express 2.0 graphics slot.
single 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive.
+ I have added a 480GB SSD-drive via PCIe (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/PCIe/OWC/Mercury_Accelsior/RAID )
The 480GB PCIe SSD-drive is now the boot-drive and gets writes over 500MB/s and reads over 600MB/s testing with "BlackMagic Speed Test"-application. The 480GB SSD-drive that is connected via PCIe-card has also two eSATA ports on it. How could I take advantage of them? Is this just a bottleneck, what would you think. Would I get the same results if I had just Samsung 840 SSD installed with adapter-device to the internal drive bay 2.5" SATAII connections?
What about the graphic card?
What would you suggest to do for the setup to maximize it´s potential (For now it´s working fine)? Would it be good idea ome 7200rpm hard-drives for media and cache storage or do I need that or can I see significant improvements over it since there is still 3 3,5" internal hard drive bays with SATA II connections (and the two eSATA ports).
MacPro4,1
(Early 2009/ Nehalem)
(http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.66-early-2009-neh alem-specs.html)

- 34GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM
-NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512 MB of GDDR3
A lot like the MacPro5,1 but does have a bit different graphic cards and more memory and cores.
Any ideas?

First and foremost: keep an eye on that 480G PCI-E SSD that you dumped a lot of money into. Those OWC drives aren't known for their robustness or reliability (OWC folks will argue with that statement. Ignore them). Since OS and apps are easy to re-install, it may not be a big deal. But don't put any of your projects on it, even though it's a fairly quick device.
Second, start adding SATA drives to the other 3 bays. Fill them up with the biggest drives you feel comfortable buying. Make one of them a 10k RPM drive for your scratch space. The others can be 7200RPM drives; since you're limited to SATA2, there's not much use in trying to crank serious disk bandwidth through the system.
Video cards. Get rid of those OEM garbage cards. Drop them into a chipper/shredder, in fact. Contact this guy about getting flashed nVidia cards that will work in both Macs, and will help with Pr and Ae. Dave can sell you a flashed GTX780 that will boot (with grey Apple screen) and run in the Mac just fine. And it'll outperform anything Apple has ever sold for those Mac Pros.

CS4 to CS6 After Effects Color Issue with Linked Photoshop Files

Hi, I just recently converted a CS4 project into CS6 and everything work wonderfully except that the photoshop files are different in color. I know this because I took screenshots of the video I was working with and edited them in Photoshop before importing them back in to the project so I know the color should match. This screenshot may help (as you can see I've increased the brightness and contrast in the affected area so that you may see what is happening. There is a Photoshop layer that is covering up a number of scratches on the guiter (it is very beat up) and in the original (CS4) project they hid them perfectly while in the CS6 project they are clearly there.
I am not sure why the Photoshop files are acting differently but they are. I need to re-export, please help if possible. Thank you so much. Jason.

In Bridge, my color settings are shown as synchronized (some kind of universal deal I guess), but the Photoshop files and the After Effects file are not color managed. What is confusing me is how completely "not color managed" files can interpret RGB values for anything different than their face value?
My Workaround (Not a Solution):
In light of how specific this problem is, I've decided to simply match the Photoshop files to the After Effects footage with a gamma adjustment using a levels effect. For this situation settings the levels to .88 corrected the problem. However, exporting the project from Premiere results in a darker movie file than the orginal so I was forced to correct the gamma on the export as well. The new export (after the corrections) looks less appealing to me but as a standalone product is acceptable.
