[Help] After Effects CS4 Sound Problem (Mac)

Hey, everyone.
First post so I hope nobody is gunna rage at me for being a noob.
I have After Effects CS4 on Mac 10.5.8 and until recently it was running great, but then i started to get this problem where my sound was all high pitched and chipmunk like. How can i fix this and get the sound back to normal? (By the way the sound is still the same speed as before, just it sounds like its got chipmunk setting on or something)
Many thanks to anyone who could help.

Check the Quicktime system panel. If anything there is whacked, you would notice it by odd values, e.g. a wrong default sample rate. The rest I can't help you with - only you know what tools you use on your system. Also, which we have overlooked at this point, make actualyl sure the output speakers are okay. For external speakers, something simple like a loose plug can considerably influence audio quality.

Premiere Pro CS4 After Effects CS4 Redraw problem

Greetings. I can't quite figure out how to research this problem. I have included some pics to the
screen grabs to illustrate my point.
The problem is, I have a redraw problem with all Adobe programs that have a timeline in them. Flash, After Effects, Premiere Pro;
I am using a 8800GTS card with the latest drivers from nVidia's website.
As you can see I have multiple mouse images that remain on the screen when I scrube the time line ( in all adobe programs). There is also another really weird problem; when I open a quicktime movie with PPro CS4 open the audio runs at half speed or slower. When I close PPro the audio reverts back to normal speed?
I am using: Borris CC6 Boris 9.2 Boris Red 4.3, Genarts Sapphir Effects, Pixelan Spicmaster 2.5, and Hollywood FX 5 plugins.
Any light on the subject would help or if you could point me in the right direction I'll do the research.
Thanks for the help.

assuming the problem is only in adobe apps and not anything else right?
Hmm...
Well, you can try some of these things
trash the prefs and clean media cache, though I doubt it will help you in this case
try with a new project and see if the problem persists
uninstall ALL plugins and see if that corrects the issue (clearly HFX5 was never meant for CS4 at a minimum and I'm not a fan of old boris stuff - very buggy)
uninstall and reinstall the Adobe apps and see if that fixes the issue. If it does add back in CS4 compatible plugins only one at a time and see if the problem returns.
also what os are you using and how much memory do you have? could you be running out of memory on a 32bit os?

AFTER EFFECTS CS4 Rendering Problems....

Hey people I have been having some rendering problems on CS4 It's very random when i'm getting these errors, sometimes it's just for the one frame..which i'm not bothered about because at 60fps, 1 frame isn't going to be noticable. But at the end of my last render, the last 10 frames are like this, but differ between pink and white at the top. (see picture at the bottom)
Here are my settings
lossless, with audio checked
avi output format
no compression method
Also i've re-rendered the dodgy footage in sony vegas but that didn't change anything
that is what the frame looks like....
If anyone can help me id be so thankful.... so please post!!!
also if you have any questions just post and i will get back to you ASAP

Since we don't know what this frame is SUPPOSED to look like, it's extremely difficult to offer up a solution.
If you're talking about the weird color in the corners, you can work in 16 or 32-bit comps, or add a little noise to the image. Not much.

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

You can change the amount of audio that is rendered for previews, which can be useful if you're running into memory problems.
The amount of audio that is rendered for previews is specified by the Duration setting in the Previews preferences.

After effects cs4 help

i am trying to install adobe after effects cs4. i am running on win7. i know it is compatible because i have had the trial version before and it worked just fine but i uninstalled it a while ago. now i decided i want the full version but when i try to run the .exe a windows error pops up and says that "adobe after effects cs4 has stopped working windows is searching for a solution." i have tried to let it figure out what the problem is but no help. tried to convert to a .uif file and mount it to a drive hoping that by some chance that would help but that didnt work either. please help.

Any other Adobe apps on the system? If so, do they include any public Betas (Flash Catalyst, Lightroom 3 for instance)? Did the apps update recently? The recent Adobe Reader updates seem to habve some ill effects. In any case, if you have other Adobe tools, uninstall them all, run the CS4 Clean Script, delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps and start with a clean slate. If you need to install other tools, make sure to install them in correct order, i.e. older versions first, then CS4, then all updates and only as a final step any Betas.

Unable to open After Effects CS4 Mac OS

I just downloaded some updates via Adobe updater and the After Effects update wouldn't install after 2 attempts. Now After Effects won't even open. I am issued a window that reads:
"check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS4 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and MAC OS X."
How can this be if nothing has been changed? I have the CS4 Master Suite and I am going to waste a whole day reinstalling everything
Is there another option or will I have to begin the reinstall?
Thanks

Apologies,
I am running version 10.6.6 and yes the software was working fine before the update. The thing that's most puzzling is the update failed to install. All the other Adobe programmes (Photoshop etc) work fine, After Effects is the only one experiencing problems.
I contacted technical support and they said to copy the file from the installation disc onto desktop and boot from there but that has not worked either. They are going to contact me tomorrow to see if everything went smoothly.
I will give the cleaner a try.
Many thanks!

After Effect cs4 cannot render jpg on network on mac but render locally okay

After Effect cs4 cannot render jpg on network on mac but render locally okay
We use intel mac pro as workstation, and our servers are windows 2003 servers.
After Effect cs4 H264 render on network without any problem bud jpeg not.
Thank You
Ayhan.

Perhaps you must just enable the Allow Encoding using Legacy CoDecs option in the Quicktime control panel on the network machine or else some of that may not show up. Of course make sure QT is installed correctly in teh first place, as Todd and Rick said. On a server, you may need to set special group policies for that to work, also.

Problem installing trial version of After Effects CS4

Hi,
I'm trying to install the trial version of After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 32-bit Operating System, Processor 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB.
At the initializing stage it gets to 90% on the 'Checking System Profile...' dialog box, something flashes and then it freezes.
I've downloaded it a second time in case of corruption.
I've rebooted several times and retried it with no other applications running.
I've run updates on any existing adobe products I have.
Any ideas? I've never had problems installing adobe products before.
Thanks.

Not your fault, known issue.
a) Download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and install it
b) Download the CS4 Cleanup Utility from Adobe's support pages
c) Run the CS4 Cleanup, electing to remove all debris from your failed install
d) Manually uninstall all instances of Adobe AIR products (Acrobat.com, Adobe Media Palyer) using Add or Remove Programs
e) Launch the Microsoft Installer Cleanup and look for instances of Adobe Installer 2.0. Have them removed. Optionally, have it remove other Adobe stuff that may have been left over from CS4.
f) Try to install CS4
Note: The cleanup utilities will not remove anything physically, only clean out the installer, so they pose no danger to your system. You will only lose the ability to uninstall those programs from Add or Remove Programs.

How to fix rough edges text in After Effects cs4? Please help.

How to fix this? rough edges in text.
in the first, it's not like this but the next i open after effects cs4, it goes like that.

Hi there mato31,
Hopefully this will help — if that screenshot is your comp window at 50%, then I would hazard a guess that the resolution quality of your comp window was set down to half or quarter quality (this would be my first guess in this instance, worth a try?). If you look across the bottom of the comp window next to the RGB channels icon, the drop-down menu for the comp window resolution is there. Does yours say perhaps Quarter or Third? Just a guess... Usually one would work at Full, but I usually leave it set to Auto so when a comp is viewed at 50%, it automatically changes the quality to 50% which leaves smooth edges (a comp viewed at 50% zoom factor, with full resolution, looks jagged also).
Anyway, just a first thought. Let me know if that helps at all?
