Font Issue with After Effects CC

I am running After Effects CC (on Mavericks).
After creating an animation using fonts from Typekit, I now am having trouble where the fonts flicker back and forth between two different ones during the animation. At first, I thought I accidentally did something with animating it, but after deleting that type layer, creating a new layer, saving, exiting and returning, I now have the same issue.
The last time after rendering a video, these error messages popped up:
after effects problem invalid glyph ID (83::2)
After Effects warning: Unknown Exception
So I force quit the program. When restarting it, the error message below shows:
These are the fonts that have trouble. It looks like it is flickering between ProximaNova bold and regular. What is causing this and how can I fix it?
Lately I've had trouble syncing to the cloud.

I first downloaded the fonts with typekit, then created the project in After Effects. I just tried to purge the Image Cache Memory but it made no difference. It's strange that in one text layer, I use two fonts, in two weights. Proxima Nova thin and Magneta bold. The issue is that one of the words in Magneta bold (but not all of them) will flicker between bold and regular. I paused it when it looks like the regular weight and it still says it is bold even though it isn't.
I just selected it changed it to another weight and then to the one I wanted and now it looks fine. Any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? It's happened twice already.

  • Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

    My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
    Any help will be appreciated!
    k.regards
    Ramon

    Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
    Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
    k.regards

  • CC Smear issues with After Effects CC

    I have tried to use the CC Smear tool for a project. I have tried doing it on After effects CS5, CS6 and CC. Everytime I use the tool it causes tearing or distortion. I am assuming this is the bug that was suppose to be fixed with After Effects CC? I have downloaded the latest update for after effects CC but it still does it. I still have After Effects CS6 installed if that might be related to the issue? I have included a pic which shows on this frame the image has tried to regenerate and has added grey matter also.
    Any suggestions? Thank You

    I'm honestly not clear on what you are trying to say here. There is no bug, the tool works just fine. Deducting from your image I can only see that you are using a layer style and that may actualyl be the problem - they are applied after any effects and may look odd if the layer content produces semi-transparent areas. Well, whatever, the same old AE trope is true: In case of doubt, pre-compose.

  • Having Issues with after effects, advice needed

      Hi I am having some unusual issues and a general question about after effects.The first question is how to remove all the thumb marks that i keep making ever time move the time line indicator down the time line, it auto creates thumb marks that I don't want.
    The second issue and this is a odd one is that i have two files 1) about 3 gb and 2) about 5 gb and the 5 gb I cut in half for the final rendering but i come out with a 168gb avi file???
    How did I use about 6gb of footage and render it out to 168gb I'm confused.
    I am using the general settings, I used avi because my trail version is not showing any other animation type like QuickTime movie (which is what I really would prefer) I don't understand where is all the extra data is coming from.
    This file is so big it pauses for a fraction of a second every 2 seconds of footage when played via a player like window media player.
    I would love any help.
    Thanks

    First, I very strongly recommend that you start at the beginning and take the time to work through these basic materials to learn After Effects:
    http://adobe.ly/bjBT3P
    Your questions show a lack of basic terminology, so it's going to be very hard for us to help you until you learn at least enough so that we're using the same language.
    Regarding QuickTime: You need to install QuickTime. You can get it from the Apple website.
    Regarding large output files, heed Rick's advice and use the FAQ list for this forum, specifically this item:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
    Finally, it sounds like you've turned on auto-keyframing. If so, turn it off.

  • Illustrator issues with After Effects CS5

    It seems i have discovered a bug with CS5 illsutrator files and CS5 After Effects. When importing illustrator files or layers into AE working on the project, saving, closing and then reopening the same project, the illustrator files apepar to be present in the project window but actually need to be reloaded in order for them to register properly and therefore be visible in the composition window.
    Subsequentally, when rendring these comps without "reloading" the illsutrator files the renders, as expected are missing the illustrator elements.
    This issue has been recently been acknowledged by Adobe and I am told is going to require an engineering fix. As of right now there has not been a projected date for the patch or update. As a work around in the meantime, Adobe recommends when working with Illustrator CS5 in comjunction with AE to save illustrator files as Illustrator CS4 files and then import for use in CS5 AE.

    Let us know whether that is working for you.
    Is this Windows-specific? I've never had this problem on my Macs. I'm on CS5, not 5.5.

  • Issue with After Effects dynamic link CC2014

    Hi guys,
    I'm french user and i got an issue using dynamic link between after Effects CC2014 and Première Pro CC2014.
    I´m importing via dynamic link my PP sequence in AE. Import is OK but i'm unable to put the sequence into a comp !
    If i´m using PP to send a sequence into a AE comp, AE breaks and displays " After Effects error : strange situation. "
    Anybody knows what happens ?
    Desinstall / reinstall but nothing changes.
    Please help me. Thank you guys !

    It would help us to know what kind of system you are using and what type of footage. PPro will work on some types of footage that AE has a problem with. Have you followed this exact workflow before? Did this workflow work in previous versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro?

  • Serious Issues with After Effects CS6 and CC

    Wife updated computer to Mavericks and now I can't open AE CS6 at all - I've downloaded all the updates, but am getting message: "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'Users/christophersprinkle/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.2678.1407352277696161.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
    There isn't even a file named as the above ... 
    That warning is followed by "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    When I try to open the project I'm working on with AE CC, it refuses to open it. 
    Please help.  Am seriously screwed.

  • Issues with replacing clip in Premiere with After Effects composition

    So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
    but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
    two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
    in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
    now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
    EXCEPT
    my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
    any ideas?

    Copy that! Thanks for the help as it is!
    I'll likely have to do as you suggested in the interest of my turnaround but if anyone else out there has any suggestions for my original question of utilizing the dynamic link between PP and AE without the issue mentioned I'd be super stoked!

  • Premiere pro CC " Replace With After Effect Composition" Cinema DNG AKA CDNG  Issue

    I am trying to right click on a cinema dng file and do a "replace" with After Effects Composition. When doing so it only brings in a single frame rather than the entire adjusted video clip. Does anyone know a solution or workaround? Is Adobe aware of this problem? Will they continue to support Cinema DNG files? or should we lean to another NLE? Please advise adobe.

    Thanks.
    After some testing, it looks to be an After Effects issue.  The Replace command did open up AE, create a new project, import the segment of the clip I wanted, and created a proper composition with the correct duration.  It even opened up the Camera Raw adjustment panel for me to play around in.  The problem was that every frame of that 1 second long clip was identical, it was the first frame of the whole clip.
    When I went into the Media Browser and opened up the same clip from the hard drive, it too opened up as the whole clip seeing only that first frame.
    When I imported using a right click>Import command (exactly what we shouldn't be doing in PP with tapeless media), the clip came in properly with all frames.
    So AE is acting weird with CinemaDNG files, it seems.  You may have to start out in AE and DL from there to PP.

    Mat,
    I'm sure you've figured it out. 
    I don't know how you got two separate source clips - you should have a sequence (comp) and the footage in the project window (bin window) for each  In your comp, the tracking can be done by selecting the layer in that comp.
    And - you've probably already figured it out that you needed those comps so they could dynamically link back to PremierePro easily.
    If you have any Ae/Pr questions - I'm going to try to be in this forum more.  I love this stuff.

    You haven't given us much to go on here.  What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try?  Which specific version of each program are you using?  (Go to Help>About...)
    On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed.  Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine.  You don't need the full question there.

  • Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

    I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
    I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
    Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

  • Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

    Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
    Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
    I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
    iWeb

    Safari

    If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\
