I need help launching after effects! PLEASE READ

Everytime i launch After effects it says this: The licensing library encountered an error; you may need to reinstall. and After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup! Someone any ideas? By the way I'm using a iMacBook pro

if that's the exact error message, you'll need to troubleshoot the install logs, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html
if that's not the exact error message, attach a screenshot of it, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209263#4209263

  • Need Help With After Effects. Please read.

    Hey,
    So I'm using after effects cs6. The problem I have with it is that the final video after exporting stucks in between and never runs smoothly. I exported my almost 7 minutes video as a quicktime file that is (.mov). SO whenever I play the video in quicktime or any other player, it stucks, sometimes i pause it but it pauses after 10 seconds i click the pause button. sometimes the voice is ahead of sound and vice-versa. It doesnt stuck at the same point everytime. I need my video to run smoothly. Can someone please help.
    Appreciate your reply.
    Thanks

    FAQ: Why is my output file huge, and why doesn't it play back smoothly in a media player?

  • Need help with after effects render engine setup

    I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
    If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

  • Help with after effects Please

    Im trying to leran how to make 3d photos in after effects .
    Unfortunatley i cant find any instructions that help me with my problems when i import my layered photoshop document and double click the composition layer i just get a huge black box in the middile of the screen.
    i can view the layers individually but not as a whole to play with. is there a 2d to 3d book for dummies? ha ha
    can any one help????

    If your imported file is not working the color space is probably not RGB. AE only works properly with RGB files.
    I think you are looking for 'the kid stays in the picture' / or more accurately, camera mapping or camera projection techniques. This is where you separate the foreground background and middle ground elements of a photograph into separate layers, bring them into a 3D app like AE's 3D space, distribute them in 3D space, and then animate a camera move on the layers.
    There's a plug-in from Video Copilot that kind of automates this process and that works very well for certain photographs. Photoshop's vanishing point tool can also be used, or you may do all of the work of separating layers by hand (my preferred method 95% of the time) and bring the PSD into AE as a comp, convert the layers to 3D, distribute them on the Z axis, add a camera and animate the camera.

  • Need help installing After Effects

    I go to Download it from the 'My Orders' list and then try to download it through Adobe Cloud.
    Once Adobe Cloud was installed, I tried to find After Effects in the Apps list but it's not there.
    Do I have to install other apps in order to get it or did I miss a step?

    The application doesn't appear if your computer doesn't meet the system requirements.

    This is a problem with Mac OS permissions on that folder.

  • Problem converting WMV movie file to format Adobe After Effects can read...

    Need HELP...
    Trying to convert a windows WMV movie clip so that Adobe After Effects can read, as the Mac OSX version of After Effects does not like WMV.
    Any help appreciated.

    i'm with the Captain's answer, Flip4Mac's Windows Media Components will allow you to work with the files directly in AE or other QT compliant application
    but whilst the free player version will allow you to view the files, you'll need to pony up for at least the Player Pro version if you intend to transcode to another format (otherwise the copy will have a Flip4Mac watermark)

  • Help with After Effects

    I just upgraded to PP CS4 to CS5 Premium with After Effects and Photoshop.  I'm trying hard to figure things out but I'm unfamiliar with these programs and have no idea where to begin to learn.  I've tried watching various tutorials, but they skip over basics, and unfortunately, that's what I need.  I
    Can anyone recommend a really good book or video or something to get me started?  I know there's so much to learn and I'm so eager to learn it all.  However, I don't even know how to get the footage from CS5 to After Effects.
    One more question - I'm working on a video right now in CS5. The girl in the video has rosacea and I want to take the red out of her face.  Is this possible in After Effects?  If so, can someone please tell me how to go about doing it - or suggest a tutorial that deals with such an issue?
    Thank you so much,
    Jules

    > Do you have any idea which tool in after effects I would use, and how,
    to remove color from an area on a video and blend it with the
    surrounding area.  Or if anyone knows of a tutorial explaining that
    process I would so appreciate it.
    You should ask your After Effects questions on the After Effects forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion
    Here are two video tutorials that show different ways to selectively apply an effect to a specific area:

    But you should really begin at the beginning and learnt he basics of After Effects first.

  • Uloading ebook using iProducer rec'd error: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Unable to parse nav file: toc.ncx" at Book. I don't understand and need help fixing it. Please Help

    Many Thanks

    Yep, i just did it again. The entire scroll-bar widget, complete with formatted text, graphics, etc., pasted itself nicely in another book. Two different files, the same widget.
    I use the scroll-bar widgets for most of my texts. (I have audio buttons on the side, and the scripts are within the widget, to the side). My only text is within widgets, and text boxes, naturally. 
    I am following your recommendation: cleaning files, etc. I am remaking the book anew. I need to convince the EPUB bot or whatever that my file looks and works nicely on all my devices. You would expect an error message when previewing the book: 'Hey Amigo, your file is flawed, stop working on it, and get back to the drawing board." Should be able to try again next Monday.

  • Cannot launch After Effects CC 2014

    Hi,
    SInce this morning, I cannot launch After Effects CC 2014 anymore.
    At the first time, I had a hanging splash screen.
    I forced the application to quit.
    Now, when i try to launch it, nothing happens, the icon is bouncing in the dock, no startupscreen is showing.
    I tried to reinstall the application. Nothing changed.
    After Effects CC (12.2) is working correctly.
    I see 2 possible reasons :
    1) I recently updated to Mac OS 10.9.4
    2) Since a few days, each time I launched AE, it said that I had 4-3-2-1 day left to resolve a payment problem (In fact I upgraded my Subscription from Monthly to Year, so I had to cancel my monthly subscription, and then get a new 1-year subscription. It seemed like AE did not see the new subscription)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Sorry for approximate english...
    Eric

    I'd allready tried that but it had no effect.
    In Fact, I found a solution from Dépannage des comportements inattendus | Eléments spécifiques d’un compte d’utilisateur | Logiciels Adobe | Mac OS
    I had to remove an old startupItem named AdobeResourceSynchronizer.
    Now everything is ok !
    Thanks anyway
