Initializing MediaCore Freezing

Whenever I opened up After Effects CS6, it would start up, but it would load and freeze when it said Initializing MediaCore. The problem persisted, so I downloaded After Effects CC. It worked fine for a few days, but soon it encountered the same problem. I have a project for school on there that is due tomorrow, but I can't finish it because After Effects hasn't been working. Please Help. Thank you in advance

  • Adobe After Effects CS 5 and CS 5.5 Freezes (Initializing MediaCore)

    For about 3 days now my adobe after effects cs5 and cs5.5 freezes with "Initializing MediaCore".
    I tried reinstalling, changing a bunch of things, disabling my firewall, etc.
    Before it was not freezing at all, but I think the problem is because I have too much fonts, could it be the problem ? I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
    Please help me,
    Maxime.

    I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
    RLY? That's bordering on being certifiable for the asylum! Even print people never use that many. Sure, it could be a huge part of the problem - there may be damaged/ "bad" fonts among them or the sheer number could consume tons of memory. Really, get rid of 99% of them. Not only is it a hinderance in your work, but just using insane numbers of typefaces doesn't compensate for any typographic deficiencies. How many fonts do you intend on using, after all? Other than that MediaCore issues could point to corruptred media caches, so flush them. also check your CoDec setup. If you have installed some equally unnecessary CoDec packs as you have done with fonts, get rid of them...

  • After Effects freezes, and "Initializing MediaCore" issue.

    I've been looking around for hours to solve this problem but I can't fix it...
    I have been using AE CS5 for almost a year without a problem but the other day it suddenly frooze and now every time I try to start CS5 it freezes when "initializing mediacore" in the splash frame. Sometimes after restarting the computer I am able to start CS5 but it then freezes after a coulpe of minutes and then I can't start it again...
    I've read about the mediacore issue but I can't solve it, my firewall in deactivated...so there shouldn't be a problem with it stopping ae from communicating with QT?
    Also I've tried installing an older CS3 version, it starts, but keeps freezing at the same place everytime I try to render my project...
    Any that knows how to fix this?
    Im using OSX version 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz i3, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, the latest Quicktime

    Thanks for your time guys!
    When I took a closer look at the QT files i realized I'd been in the wrong Library/Quicktime...
    So how do I know which files to keep? Just trial and error until it works or do you know which files specifically should be there as default?
    thanks again

  • I just dowload the AE trial version on a mac with maverick and The start up screen is freezing on "Initializing MediaCore".

    i am working with maverick on a mac book pro ?

  • Cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore

    after effects cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore...pleasehelp...i have through tons of stuff online on solvin the issue done all of them and nothing worked in my case.  and i have been using cs5 for sometime on my pc...am using windows 7,64bit..and have xilisoft video conerter installed..if it might help...i usind the cs cleaner tool ....removed quicktime, quit qt32server...plus the opposite..i logged in with another account same issue......and i have installed and reinstalled appropriately like a dozen times.....please  help......

    Have you flushed the media cache? If not, try that. Also trash the prefs. Other than that I'm not sure what to advise, but perhaps your system event viewer may provide some details abouzt those crashes.

  • Initializing MediaCore CS6 Freeze

    On starting After Effects CS6 on my MacBook Pro, it perpetually hangs at "Initializing MediaCore" and will not start up. 
    I've checked system updates for OS X and all the Adobe CS6 Apps (I'm using Creative Cloud), and all is up-to-date.  Removed all my third-party plug ins, and uninstalled and re-installed After Effects--each time rebooting the machine.  Nothing seems to fix the problem.
    I've seen a few similar threads for CS5, but no suggestions seem to fix the problem.
    Anyone else have this problem w/ AE CS6?  Or (hopefully) found a solution?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. Although I have uninstalled "Perian", which I didn't know I had. But when I spotlighted it, it came up in my "system preferences pane" with an uninstall button. SO I uninstalled it and tried to restart AE. But it still hangs at "Initalizing MediaCore". I did a permissions repair and restarted. But still it hangs at the same spot. This just started two days ago. I have not loaded any other plug-ips or add on's. I am using CS6 Production Suite. On a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon, with 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm. Running 10.7.5 Lion. And as luck would have it, I'm on a deadline. I saw the Media Encoder comment and wanted to go that route, but now I can't get back in. It's just hung at this part of the loading process.

  • After Effects CS6 - Initializing Mediacore Issue - More Complex.

    Hi, I recently got After Effects CS6, and I have had the program open a few times - when I say a few, I mean 4 or 5, all in the same day, and I was only opening and closing the program to check to see if I'd installed plugins correctly. So, anyway back to the point; I sat and created a 10 second clip for which I was going to use for a YouTube intro. I finished and exported the clip, only to find that after I had saved and closed the program, the clip I had exported was some form of .AVI that had encoded incorrectly (or something similar, this part isn't particularly relevant.) Then when I tried to re-open AE, the program hung at the 'Initializing Mediacore...' section of the loading screen, and it has done for a while now. I have tried restarting, re-installing, removing the 3rd-party plugins, and re-intalling QuickTime. I've been reading all the forums and looked up the issue on YouTube, and all the answers are wrong or lacking information about my issue. Every working answer I find is either about about a Mac issue, or any Windows issue keeps mentioning these 3 programs; Adobe QT32 Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, and PProHeadless.exe, none of which I have.
    I run a 64-bit, Windows 7, Acer Aspire with 4 GB of RAM. Any helpful - emphasis on the helpful there - information will be greatly accepted.
    Cheers.

    The executables are in the program directories. Still, none of that is probably relevant. Something is damaging your media cache and/or blocking those services from even launching, which takes us back to basic trobleshooting steps which are:
    Run as admin
    Turn off security tools
    Verify file and folder permissions on the temp and user directories
    Cehck drive integrity and health

  • AE CS5 stops @ 'Initializing Mediacore' Windows 7

    I'm currently trying out the trial edition of After Effects CS5, and all was going well. I was learning how to do Typographys and other animations. Til just recently, AE wouldn't load. The Splash Screen would come up and it would reach 'Initializing Mediacore' and it would just stop and not respond.
    Now I have done my research and tried countless different thing to make it work.
    I've tried:
    Reinstalling Quicktime.
    Downgrading Quicktime to 7.3
    Reinstalling AE CS5
    Restarting Computer
    System Restore to when it was working
    Disabling Firewall and Norton Firewall
    Running as administrator
    Using a different user account to trying running AE
    Removing all the files in the mediacore folder
    Removing all 3rd Party Codecs (Never had any)
    The thing is, I did stop using AE for about a week and in that week I installed two big programs, avast! and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall, I have uninstalled both completely but still no luck.
    Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
    Computer:
    Windows 7
    4.00 GB Ram
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
    64-bit Operating System
    How do I fix this annoying problem?
    Thank you.

    Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
    Pretty clear...?! I would assume your virus scanner/ firewall have done something weird to specific Quicktime components and they are permanently flagged or their permissions have been set in such a way that they cannot be accessed. Those tools may also have enabled DEP and ADSLR, which are not compatible with QT and iTunes. Similar could have happened with some recent Windows Updates or QT itself. In any case, I don't see an easy way to fix this. There is certainly something wrong, be it just some Registry key or on the file level. The only way to get to the bottom of this, short of a full W7 reinstall, is to use Sysinternals' Process Monitor, set it to filter on AE and monitor which files and reg keys it accesses. The only other thing might be some issues with QT's hardware acceleration and legacy CoDec compatibilty and that only takes a short trip to the QT system control panel...

  • Initializing mediacore... how do I return CS5???

    Not that I want to... but so far I have gotten NO help from adobe on this issue and can't find a solution.
    I have both CS4 and installed CS5 on to my W7-64 system. AEFX CS4 work fine. CS5 stalls on Initializing MediaCore and then after 10 min it starts but says QT components not installed (but are). Funny thing is that if I create a new user profile and log in, AEFX CS5 starts fine. I don't get it... I have tried some of the solutions noted in various posts, but to no avail. I have:
    - uninstalled and re-installed
    - pulled out plug-in folder
    - started in safe mode
    - deleted preferences folder
    - started AE as Admin
    NOTHING IS WORKING AND I NEED THIS TO WORK IN MY CURRENT MAIN USER PROFILE!!!
    Please, please, please ADOBE help me!!!!!
    Thanks,
    Todd

    You don't have proper permissions to load system drivers and start services, most likely. I suggest you do a little reading here. This should give you the right idea what to change and where to look. If managing services manually doesn't help, changing your group policies (gpedit.msc) is the otehr alternative, at the cost of reducing system security, because you need to include your user to allow meddling with system services, even if not admin...

  • New MBP 15 retina (mid 2014) freeze during initial setup - any issues?

    Hi all - just picked up a new retina MBP 15 base model (integrated graphics / 256GB / 16 GB RAM).  After turning it on for the first time and running the initial setup the computer froze on the diagnostics and usage page (after I clicked continue).  I had also setup an account and named the computer.  After about 25 minutes of seeing a spinning beach ball, I held down the power button for a hard shut down.  I turned it back on and it went through the initial setup process without issue (although I had to create a different user account since the previous one was recognized).  The computer was pre-loaded with Yosemite and I immediately updated the software with the latest patch.  Also, I noticed both user accounts I had made were stored, so I deleted the first one that I created during the failed setup.
    Should this be a cause for concern?  Everything seems to be working properly outside of the initial setup freeze.  Have any other users experienced this?  Also, I had thought the macbook would have had Mavericks on it and that a manual upgrade to Yosemite would have been required.  Is this an issue with Yosemite?  Apologies for several questions in one post. 

    Hi there again.
    I didn't had any of the problems you mentioned (45' minutes setup). We tried along with AppleCare to make a new partition to the hard disk in order to install OS in that one and boot the machine from it. It didn't help as the machine didn't let me to make a partition. Later on we swiped the hard disk and at the moment where you choose the hard disk to install OS, there wasn't any to choose. Returned the machine to the store I bought it and they sent it to the authorized service center where they told me that the machine just didn't have any OS installed.
    I asked them why there isn't any hard disks available and they told that there was a problem to the file sector of the hard disk. They repaired it and they sent the machine back to me. Regarding why the machine came with Mavericks and not with Yosemite, I suppose that they had the machine in stock (knowing that Yosemite was released after the MBP mid-2014).
    There are still some problems I don't like at all. Safari - opened pdf in browser - fully loaded, scrolling down...cracks.
    I'm not happy at all. That was my first purchase on Apple's computers and I don't know if I will do it again.
    By the way, I noticed the same performance in other computers as well. (click on "About this Mac", then click on "Overview, Displays, Storage" etc. There, I see cracks on graphics between the change to other tabs.)
