Mac OS X 10.10 : After Effect hides when clicking other windows.

Hello, I'm having an issue with After Effect CC. When clicking on other windows like apps and or desktop or finder windows After Effect will hide I was wondering if this was normal this was not happing when I was using After Effect CS6 and only happen since using CC is there away to fix this or is it normal for After Effect CC to hide when using other windows and or apps ?

No, it does not happen to any of my other apps on my mac and it does not happen with any other Adobe software like Photoshop, Premiere pro and illustrator. This issue only happens with After Effect CC (this also did not happen when I was using CS6 only since I upgraded to CC (and this problem has been happing before the new mac update to 10.10))
But thats for the comments and if you find a answer on how to fix it please let me know.
  Thanks for your time and have a great day.

It launches fine, and opens properly, but when I try to click ANYWHERE on the mac transparent menu at the top of the screen, it freezes and crashes. I have tried re-installing several times, still no luck!!!!! i am running a macbook pro mountain lion 10.8.4 with CUDA Nvidia graphics proccesor. HELP PLEASE!!!

    Ok, so when Adobe CS cleaner opens, it gives me options to clean installed adobe applications, and once  I clicked after effects and pressed clean, after effects vanished from my computer. It didnt say anything like: Finished, or Succesfully Fixed. Is this right?

    Hello,
    This is an advanced functionality that requires a custom
    function. The JavaScript code looks like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var observer = {};
    observer.nextEffect = false;
    observer.onPostEffect = function(){
    if (this.nextEffect)
    var eff = this.nextEffect;
    setTimeout(function(){eff.start();}, 10);
    this.nextEffect = false;
    function myPanelsSlides(currentPanel)
    // The list of all the panels that need sliding
    var panels = ['slide1', 'slide2', 'slide3', 'slide4'];
    var opened = -1;
    // Let's check if we have an effect for each of these
    sliding panels
    if (typeof effects == 'undefined')
    effects = {};
    for (var i=0; i < panels.length; i++)
    if (typeof effects[panels[ i ]] == 'undefined'){
    effects[panels[ i ]] = new Spry.Effect.Slide(panels[ i ],
    {from: '0%', to: '100%', toggle: true});
    effects[panels[ i ]].addObserver(observer);
    if (effects[panels[ i ]].direction == Spry.forwards
    && currentPanel != panels[ i ])
    opened = i;
    if (opened != -1)
    observer.nextEffect = effects[currentPanel];
    effects[panels[opened]].start();
    else if (effects[currentPanel].direction != Spry.forwards)
    effects[currentPanel].start();
    </script>
    The trigger elements should have the following code:
    <input type="button" onclick="myPanelsSlides('slide1');"
    value="Slide 1" />
    <input type="button" onclick="myPanelsSlides('slide2');"
    value="Slide 2" />
    <input type="button" onclick="myPanelsSlides('slide3');"
    value="Slide 3" />
    <input type="button" onclick="myPanelsSlides('slide4');"
    value="Slide 4" />
    The elements in page should be initially hidden and should be
    either floated or absolute positioned.

  • How to make a Dynamic Link starting in After Effects to Premier (not other way around)

    I have seen a ton of tutorials how to Dynamic Link from Premier to After Effects. (but not the other way around. )
    I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier.
    For example if I make a title in After Effects and then want to dynamic Link it into Premier how is this done?
    Thanks!!

    I've looked at this too. When I first started using DL, I thought that it was basically a two way street between applications. But that analogy doesn't work very well. DL is PPro-centric. Like PPro is the hub, DL the spokes, and the other Abobe applications are on the rim. And this makes a fair amount of sense. The central feature of an editing suite is the editor, and that would be PPro.
    Another way to look at it is that you can push from PPro to AE, and PPro can pull from AE, but AE can not push to PPro. So the direct answer to "I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier"  is, you can't. What you can do is make your title composition in AE, import that AE project into PPro, and use the composition as you would any other asset in PPro. Then when you change your title in AE, you'll see the change in PPro almost immediately without you having to do anything.
    When I'm making motion lower thirds, for example, I now make them in AE. I let the AE project reside in the directory with the PPro project that I made the lower thirds for. Then when I want the lower thirds in PPro, I just import the AE lower thirds into the PPro project. There's a few ways to do this. One is to use the Media Browser. The MB will open up the AE project for you and let you select which composition you want to import. Another way is to File...Adobe Dynamic Link...Import AE composition which does more or less the same thing. There may be other ways as well, IDK.

  • After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

    After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
    Greetings,
    Daniel

    If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it.  No guarantees, but it may help.  For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
    There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that.  AE wasn't.

  • After Effects crashes when rendering to H264

    Hi,
    On one of my computers, After Effects Crashes when rendering to H264. It always chrashes when doing the last frame of a clip. I think its when muxxing the m4a and the m4v together...
    Does anyone have a solution? maybe there is some odd codec trash going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Report
    In every version of AE that has been capable of exporting h.264 the quality has been significantly lower than exporting with an app that gives you the option of multi-pass rendering. This has always been true for MPEG codecs that use inter frame (temporal) compression. You just can't get the same quality without multi pass compression. This goes back to the first use of MPEG streams.
    AE CS6 may have H.264 encoding broken internally, but any pro has never used AE to render highly compressed delivery codecs because AE was never designed to be the right tool for the job.

  • Switching to Mac, how to set up After Effects

    I just received my new Mac Pro and subscribed to Adobe Cloud. 
    I'm setting up After Effects and need to set my Media Cache for fast processing.  I am reading that I should set it to write to a separate hard drive from what I am saving my project to, but I don't know how to navigate to the folder that would write these files.  Where is this located on the system? 
    Processor 3.33 GHz 6 Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 32 GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    OS X 10.8.2

    Open up you preferences file by clicking on After Effecs in the menu bar and then picking preferences.

  • Mac os10.9 and updated after effect cc 12.0.1 still have problem

    After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/xxxx/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/Workspaces.1121.1407353248120481.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.

    Mac OS has set the permissions for the preferences folder incorrectly. Set the permissions for the entire preferences folder (the 12.0 folder) to be writable.
    This happens a lot with Mac OS upgrades, as opposed to fresh installations of the new OS.

  • Mac to PC, FCP to After Effects--Quicktime not recognized!  HELP!

    Hello,
    I searched far and wide and can't come up with anyone having answered this question after it's been asked by many before me!
    I am editing on FCP4 (G5--Quicktime 6 pro).
    I want to do After Effects (6.5) work on my PC (HP 3ghz, 1 gig RAM,)
    I am not compressing any files. I capture the files in FCP from mini-DV. Then I take the captured file from the mac into the pc.
    Here's where it all goes bad. The PC does not recognize the file as anything. Quicktime will open and play it, but I can't open it in After Effects at all.
    I have read that if I had Quicktime Pro in the PC I can just SAVE AS the file with another name and all will be cool. But the last thing I want to is is spend another $30 on Quicktime only to have this not be true.
    Any ideas? Answers? Reasons for this problem?
    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    The thing is I don't want to compress it at all. I just want to take the captured footage out of the Mac and into the PC.
    Since the Mac captures it as a Quicktime file, this shouldn't be a problem--but it is.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks again,
    Mike

  • I am using CS6 Design & Web Premium - Education edition on my Mac and want to use 'After Effects'?

    If it is included in the package I cannot find it - or do I have to purchase it separately?

    Hi Scouselil,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    CS6 After Effects is available in CS6 Master Collection and Production Premium suites not in
    Design and Web Premium suite. You can purchase it seperately either as a perpetual license or
    through creative cloud subscription.
    Thanks

  • After Effects Alert when opening (Error: Mount Point list is empty)

    I am so confused right now. I have searched everywhere for a solution to no avail. I have a brand new Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 12-core intel Xeon e5 with 32 gigs of ram. I installed Reelsmart's Motion blur and when I tried to re-open After Effects I got an After Efects Alert that reads.
    Last log message was: <140735179719440> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
    Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
    Can anyone help please! I'm on a tight deadline and I'm grounded.
    Thank you, thank you!!

    What exact version of AE (down to the last decimal point)?

  • Why won't my after effects work when i have the correct graphics card everything is greyed out

    hey everyone I'm new to after effects and it won't work everything is greyed out i can't even start a new project

    If the menus are grayed out then you have probably launched the Render Engine and not the App:
    From a Mac finder:
    On a Windows engine the extension will be exe.
