Imported song into After Effects CS6 and won't fully render.

I imported a song into After Effects CS6 to use audio waveforms. I click RAM preview but it won't render or play past 18 seconds. What am I doing wrong and how do I render the entire audio track so it will actually play all the way through with the effects on it.

Ram preview length is determined by the amount of available ram. It is also usually limited to the work area. Either lower the resolution of the comp window or extend the work area.
Please read the FAQ section at the top of the forum. You'll have your answer there.

  • Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

    I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
    I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
    Select project
    Select sequence
    Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
    But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG  at the end. These clips have a 500% speed  in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
    The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
    I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
    Anyone?

    I just found the solution!
    In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
    Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
    So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
    I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
    Sorry for the post.

  • Really my question is about after effects, which then renders to a quick time movie.  I have imported music into after effects many times, and all of a sudden after import and playing it under ram preview, it stops about 4/5 through the work.

    when I import a song into after effects it only plays 4/5 and then stops.  I'm viewing it in RAM preview.
    the composition time is fine.
    can you help me???

  • Error importing a PNG into After Effects CS6

    I'm trying to import a .png file into After Effects CS6 (version 11.0.4.2) and keep getting this error message:
    Followed by this one after I click "OK":
    The .png imports fine into After Effects CC so I don't think the file is corrupted or anything like that.  I need to make some motion graphics using Trapcode though and I only have that for CS6 so I'm stuck at the moment.  Why is this happening in CS6?  If there's no solution I guess I'll have to pay for the Magic Bullet upgrade and just do it in CC but it would be great if I could just figure out why this is happening in AFX CS6...
    Here's what I'm running:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    Thank you!

    No it was just a .png I downloaded from a Google image search. This is it: http://naturalearth.springercarto.com/ne3_data/8192/masks/water_8k.png

  • Cannot import .mov files (from JVC HM100) into After Effects CS6

    Hi,
    I am trying to import .mov files into After Effects CS6.  Unfortunately, when I try to import the .mov files, AE tells me "After Effects error: 210_0001_01.mov cannot be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsupported."  The file works in Premiere CS6.   I have the latest Quicktime, and even with Quicktime 7 Pro installed, I got that same result.  I would appreciate any advice on this problem.
    Thank you.

    I'm going to set up a new sequence with just the clip I'm using after effects on.  I'm going to import that sequence into AE.
    Your footage is currently a long-gop codec, which may be giving Mocha fits.  So instead of Dynamic Link, you may want to simply export the clip in question from Premiere using a lossless codec.  Remember to leave handles on the footage.
    To get back to Premiere you would then render in a lossless codec.  It's not very handy, but it will get the job done. 
    Give it a try and see what happens.

  • After Effects CS6 and CC crash when Composition panel is closed, moved, switched w/ Layer panel, etc

    Kind of hard to word the problem in a non-confusing way, but here goes. After Effects CS6 and CC will only work if the Composition panel is in its default spot in the Standard workspace, and that it's the only thing displayed there. No layer or footage panels can be opened  - it can only be Comp or nothing.
    In other words, AE is 100% certain to crash if:
    - The composition panel is closed or moved to another spot in the workspace.
    - A file from the project is double-clicked and opened as a layer/footage panel
    - Any attempt is made to switch the Standard workspace to another
    The crappiest thing about this is that I've searched Google using as many different phrases as I can and haven't found any discussion about this particular problem. It's as if I'm the only one on Earth who is having this issue.
    It should be noted that After Effects CS5 does not have this problem on my PC, but I need CS6 or better because that's what we're using at work now. I can't work from home (as I need to do occasionally) if AE won't work properly.
    System:
    Windows 7 PC, 12GB RAM, Quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.7 Ghz, ATI Radeon HD 6700 series GPU (1GB)

    It's not like a regular crash that instantly closes the program and has a "sorry, AE crashed" popup. It basically just freezes until the process is forced to quit.

  • Import 50fps in After Effects cs6

    Hi all! I have some AVCHD files shooted at 50fps and I want to use it to do somw slow-mo effects. The problem is when I import this footages in AE in the interpret footage settings AE read the files as normal 25fps files...so I cheked in Windows and I think the problem might be there cuz Windows in the info panel of the files say: 25fps. I'm sure the files are 50fps cuz I shooted by myselfe...where can be the problem? ty
    UPDATE: The problem seems only with interlaced record modes...in progressive modes windows recognize the 50fps...but why with interlaced no?

    Our Panasonic AF101 states that it can record at 50fps (which it can), but the problem is, that it cannot output at 50fps. It encapsulates 50 discreet frames imbedded as a field in a 1080/50i data stream.
    Try this suggestion:
    1) Shoot at 1080/25P
    2) Use Variable Frame Rate of 50FPS
    3) Capture directly to Samurai device
    4) Import file into after effects and interpret as 25FPS seperate fileds - Upper field first
    5) Create new composition from footage - then double the frame rate of the composition (leave footage as interpreted above)
    6) Render this comp out to a TIFF sequence
    7) Import TIFF sequence into new composition with a Frame Rate of 25FPS - this now plays back at half speed, smoothly as the above process give me 50 discreet frames.
    and see if you get the 50 discreet frames. dont worry about the first few steps, that is just the devices I use, try taking it from step 4.
    Hope it helps,
    Pierre
    I also see Dave's answer, and he is also right. The 50i would play back as 25 interlaced fields. What is the issue with the files that are you trying to slow down? what is not working properly?

  • Bridge not importing files into After Effects

    From AE I go to File > Browse in Bridge...
    Bridge opens up and I find the file I want.  If I double click the file, an AI for instance, it opens the file within Illustrator.  I could find, double click it, and it opens in Photoshop.
    I feel as though I'm missing how to import files into After Effects by using bridge.
    I'm running CC 2014 on a Win 7 machine.

    Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

  • After Effects CS6 (Macintosh) won't open/work on Yosimite

    After Effects CS6 (Macintosh) won't open/work on Yosimite
    Can someone provide a solution to correct this matter? Thanks
    Additionally, i'm not able to do an update on Adobe for some reason. I'm getting the following error message; server is not responding; it might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect.  I highly doubt it's my firewall settings.

    All updates are listed here:

    Install the most recent CS6 update.
    Don't install the update manually unless you encounter a problem with the automatic way. To use the automatic way, open any Adobe application (like Bridge) and choose Help > Updates.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 wont work on OS lion

    I just bought a teacher Edition of Adobe Production Premium. I installed the softwares on my Mac which is running OS Lion 10.8.2. Everything works except Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Premiere CS6. It always start up with the splash page then a pop up window opens that reads unexpected error occured send to apple.
    I don't understand because Photoshop, illustrator and the other softwares worked fine.
    I have tried uninstalling, re-installing, re-starting and even tried to download the After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 on creative cloud thinking that maybe those on the web will be more updated to address the issue.
    But still I cant get it to work.

  • After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 not available for installation for 32-bit systems

    After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 require a 64-bit operating system and processor to be installed and run.
    If you subscribe to Creative Cloud but use a 32-bit computer system, you will not be able to download and install Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6.
    This issue primarily affects users on the Windows operating system, since all supported versions of the Mac OSX operating system are able to run 64-bit applications.
    See this document for details:

    In general, you can only download and use applications for which your computer system meets the minimum system requirements.

    Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
    I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
    Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
    I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
    The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house.  It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service.  Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen.  It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
    I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device.  I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream.  Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
    I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it.  Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Hi, so I'm wanting to buy After Effects CS6 and I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch, will the program work? If not what which After Effects version will?

    I'm saving up to buy After Effects CS6 and I wanted to make sure the program will work on my Macbook Pro. I have the 15 inch screen. If that version doesn't work is there another version that will work with it?

    Yes, After Effects CS6 will work on a MacBook Pro.
    I see in your sig that it says that you're still using Mac OS X v10.5.1. Really? Because that would be a problem. After Effects CS6 requires v10.6.8 or higher of Mac OS X.

  • Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

    I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

    Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file.  You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 and empty MediaCore file won't load...

    I have just installed Adobe After Effects CS6 because CC was too difficult for me to learn but CS6 has it's own problems. When I launch the program it gets stuck while loading the "MediaCore" file. I went to find the file, but there was nothing in it. Why can't I use CS6?

    I just think the interface in CS6 is a bit easier.
    I don't see much difference in the interface between CC 2014, CC, and CS6. Now, the CC 2014 update that's coming out in a month or so, looks somewhat different/better. But it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is that you are able to work. Although, if you could share what you find more difficult in CC (or CC 2014), perhaps we could help you get past it so you can enjoy the new features.

  • Problem importing .vpe into After Effects CC 2014

    I am having Issues importing .vpe files exported from Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.1.0 - most recent update to date) into After Effects CC 2014 (13.0.2.3 - latest update to date) on Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.4. After a (lengthy) couple of chats to Adobe customer support I was advised to update both programs to fix my original issue outlined in this thread VPE issue and this has half way fixed my issues (The export from Photoshop now works properly).
    The problem I have now is that when importing the .vpe file to After Effects I get an error:
    "Unable to execute script at line 107. Function newLayer.transform[sel].setValue is undefined".
    The process creates a composition and a folder which is meant to contain the .png's. Inside the composition, the one imported .png is present, but no parent or camera layers.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the bug present on Windows? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in the update forthcoming? It isn't listed as one of the stand out bug fixes.
    Thanks
    Simon

    To be honest, its been so long that i'd actually forgotten whether the issue was fixed, just went through the process here to check...
    That'll be a no then, thanks Adobe.
    We're getting kinda tired of the Beta nature of the CC suite here in my department at work. Our internet speeds are currently not great and so having to download so many updates is a bit of an issue. Is there any other way to download updates remotely? That is to say on a different machine than the install of After Effects? Could I perhaps download update files at home, put them on a USB drive and bring them in?
