Maya .iff (8bits rgba) sequences gives me file format error 1 ( 45::35 ) in after effects while playing, is there a work arround?

i'm on windows 8.1 pro, with a 770gtx that isn't yet recognized for gpu acceleration in after effects cc (last updated version)
i have some iff sequences that are imported whitout any problems, but while i scrub the timeline or sometimes i hit play, i get the photoshop file format error1 (45::35). looks like a performance issue.
is this a plug in error?
I know that in olders versions of photoshop, we used to get in the instalation cd, under goodies a iff.8bi plugin to handle iffs. but on cc, downloaded through acc, i don't have a cd .
anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Romeu

anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Don't use IFF?! These issues are well-known and have plagued AE from the day it was born. Seriously, your workflow is simply not the best. IFF simply is not a robust format and a single damaged byte can render files unusable plus over the years Autodesk have hacked around a lot with the format, so it's a veritable mess. You really should not be using it. For the current situation convert it through fcheck or free tools like XnView.

Trimming HD video files for export from Windows to After Effects on a MAC

Hi,
I have some .MTS files created using 2 HD camcorders:
1) Panasonic HDC-TM700 which shoots full HD @ 1920 x 1080 and
2) JVC Everio GZ-HM550 which shoots the same HD resolution
I am working with PP CS5 on Windows 7
I need to trim some small pieces (5 -10 seconds) out of many of the .MTS files to send to someone using After Effects MAC and FC Pro
In trying to keep the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the number of choices to select when creating a new sequence and then when exporting from PP is confusing.
Note: I notice that 2 clips I have in my PP project bin at the same time have different frame rates which I believe that 1 each came from my different cameras:
file 1) 29.97fps 48000hz compressed stereo
file 2) 59.94fps 48000hz compressed 5.1
Can anyone guide me here on sequence and export settings & codecs to maintain the HD resolution and least loss of quality on export?
Will the 2 different frame rates prior to export cause any issues? I'm assuming PP will re-interpret for output.
Thanks

> I understand the files are not compressed.
You misunderstand. The files are compressed. But they're compressed without losing any information. Losslessly compressed movies are a lot smaller than uncompressed movies---but they're still bigger than movies compressed with a lossy codec that would be more suitable for final delivery and distribution.
> How long are the movies your associate sends you and approx what do file sizes look like?
I tend to work on individual clips that are from several seconds to a few minutes long. They're usually a small number of GB each. Don't fret about large file sizes for intermediate files. Making movies small matters when you're streaming them for final delivery, not when you're handing over a hard disk or using an FTP server to exchange files for post-production work.

File format error for xml file

Hi!
We are trying to upgrade our SAP 4.6C to EHP4.
While "configuration roadmapstep", system asks us the XML file we have
produced via solman. When we enter the path of the file system gives theerror below:
The selected configuration file
("E:\downloadupg\SMSDXML_FKQ_20100917142727.656.xml") is not useable.
Reason: "File format error"
We have tried the txt file instead of xml file. The result was same.
You can find the details of our system.
4.6D EX2 32 bit kernel
windows 2003 64 bit OS
sql 2005 64 bit database software
We have to upgrade our system until that monday.
Please help us as soon as possible.
Best regards
Noyan Durna

Hello Noyan,
first, the official information: please refer to note #1022704 - for source release 4.6, the TXT file has to be used instead of the XML file. Otherwise, 'File format error' will occur as in your case.
But since you tried this option, you should turn your attention to the XML itself, which must contains entries that are not handled by function module OCS_GET_UPG_STACK_INFO in the 4.XX source systems. The function module only expects the entries [SPAM_CVERS], [PRDVERS] and [SWFEATURE]. Any other entries present on the file can cause an error.
Please check your file for other entries like [APP_SYSTEM], [SWFEATUREINC], [TECHUSAGES], [INITIAL_CVERS], [EXPORT_CVERS], and [DVD_SET]; this might be the cause of the error.
In order to workaround this, you can either edit the file and remove the invalid entries or recreate it (w/o this entries also).
Best regards,
Tomas Black

File size changing when pass through after effects (180Mb file goes in and comes out 33GB on export)

im processing a video recorded of an interview where the lighting was not very good on the interviewee
im brightening up the light on the interviewees face
the file was a 180Mb H.264 file on import
when i export the file its coming out at 33GB in size.... im not sure why this is
i have chosen the default setting "lossless" as the format for export
i just want the file to export the same size and quality as it was when i imported it
what options should i choose for this? AE does not seem to tell me how big the end file will be and it takes 1 hour and half to process this 2 minute interview so it will take me an awfull long time to get to the bottom of this if i try by myself
thanks

It doesn't "increase" the file size. You're making a brand new file.
What you put into After Effects has nothing to do with the resulting file. You can have an AE composition with no footage whatsoever and the resulting file will be much larger than 0!
After Effects works internally with completely uncompressed pixel data, so no matter what you toss into it, it produces whatever you tell it to produce. As Mylenium points out, you made an uncompressed final file.
Your original video file is VERY compressed. So, of COURSE uncompressed video is going to look massive by comparison.
Read Mylenium's link to understand a bit more and go here to learn AE: Getting started with After Effects There are lots of "gotchas" like this that'll bit your butt if you skip this basic training stuff.

FAQ: How to resolve "Unexpected File Format" error with Flash Professional CS5.5?

You may encounter errors when you attempt opening or saving files using Flash Professional CS5.5. To address the above problem, Adobe released an updater for Flash Pro CS5.5 (version 11.5.1).
The following article explains about the errors and Flash CS5.5 updater released to handle them in detail:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashpro/2012/07/24/unexpected-file-format-error-on-opening-flash-f iles-using-flash-cs5-5/

Which operating system are you using? If you look in the Adobe Download Assistant is it still downloading the install files?

Opening files in a different version of After Effects

Is it possible to open a file that was created in Adobe After Effects CC while working on Adobe After Effects CS6? I know that you usually can't open a file from a newer version of the program on an older version.

Hi kesstar0629,
Thanks for contacting adobe forums,
As you know already that we can't open a file from a newer version of the program on an older version.
But you can try to save a copy as CS6 project also in After effects CC.
Happy Editing,
Sandeep

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during app

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.

I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

EhP4 Stack file format error in xml

Hi all,
My intention is to Upgrade an sap system 4.6C to Ecc6 including EhP4.
i am running through many problems since now
Here is my newest one:
In solution manager i calculated a stack.xml. After that, i copied the files to the test system which i am upgrading. Now in phase "Stack configuration" i must provide the xml-file.
when i click next, i get an error:
The selected configuration file ("M:InstCds
w70ehp1SMSDXML_P01_20090520113757.307.xml") is not useable.
Reason: "File format error"
Update ....
OK my fault.
in SAP Note Number: 1022704 is the info that in case of start release BELOW 4.6, you cannot use the xml-file, you have to choose the txt-file
Hm .. we have 4.6 which is not BELOW 4.6 but with the txt-file is works ... now i have the next error ...
i tried different files but every time the same error ...
Any idea ?
regards,
Bjoern
Edited by: Björn Trabes on May 20, 2009 4:23 PM

Sorry,
As i wrote
Hm .. we have 4.6 which is not BELOW 4.6 but with the txt-file is works ... now i have the next error ...
is work for the txt-files in this way, that the stack can be read.
It is a little bit confusing, as the german note says: as of 4.6 and lower
but the english note says: lower than 4.6
so there is a little diffrence
But now i have the Problem, that the generated Stack-file from the solution manager is invalid:
"# Error message set: 'Stack file is invalid: keep version w/o component upgrade'"

After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.

Hello everybodyI have few problems.
1. when I try to launch after effects (juste after the installation), I have this message and I don't know how to fix it
After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.
2 I just dowload AE CC 2014 fort the first time and It say to me The trial version is over....
thank you

if your trial is over, it's over. there's no easy way to re-start a 30 day trial even if it ends before 30 days, Adobe trial software expired early
if you only had problem 1, you could probably resolve it by right clicking ae and clicking 'run as administrator'.

Get "Unexpected File Format" Error in CS5.5

I was working with a FLA file when i press Ctrl+s to save the file it says "can not save and somethig.. bla bla.. " so, i have just closed the file whitout saving. Then i tried opening the FLA again and i get "Unexpected File Format" error. Are my FLA file contents now forever lost? No way to recover it? its around 6Mb of size. can you please help me to recover it??

There's a lot of info on the forum about this but grab WinRAR, duplicate the FLA and rename the duplicate to something.rar, open it with WinRAR and acknowledge the archive may be damaged, Tell WinRAR to fix the archive, when complete rename back to FLA and try it.

Best Sequence Preset and File Format for Editing HD?

I'm using Premiere CS4 and I'm starting a new project that was shot in HD. I'm dealing with multiple file formats, as several different types of HD cameras were used. This is for a feature documentary, so I need a balance between maintaining image quality while sticking with a format that my machine can handle smoothly. Two questions:
1. Which HD preset should I commit to for the project (DVCProHD, XDCAM, etc.)?
2. I want to keep things nice and tidy and convert all of my footage to the same file type. I've found that Premiere works best with AVI files, but I'd like some input on what file format and codec you recommend. I took a stab at converting some files to Microsoft AVI format using the V210 10bit YUV codec, but the file sizes are huge and my system (quad-core processor w/ 12 gigs of RAM) still can't handle smooth playback with them.
Recommendations? I'm open to purchasing a plugin, 2nd-party file converter, etc. if necessary.
Thanks,
Mike

I would be inclined to use a seq that matches the most prevelent source video you have.
If you decide to convert everything to one format; both P2 and XDCAM formats are a pretty good balance of file size vs quality IMHO. (both edit very smoothly)

After Effects error: Photoshop file format error 1. (45::35)???

I keep getting this error when trying to RAM preview my file. It happens at different places each time. I don't have any Photoshop files importing into my movie. I just have Maya file sequences, a music clip and three solid layers with filters applied to them.
I'm using AE CS5 but everything else Photoshop, etc. is CS4. I didn't have this issue when using AE in trial.
This is stopping me from rendering my movie. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have there very simple rendering setup using Maya Software renderer. The problem is that it started all of a sudden on all parts that have sequences, while it all worked just a day ago. I also noticed that if I restart AE, it may become workable again, but then it is as if touching some corrupted file at some point after a while becomes frenzy and starts giving this error in any part of the comp, where maya sequence is present. I’m still experimenting with it, trying to locate, if I can really locate anything, because no files were changed since I rendered them.
Anyway, I’ve attached snipped screen copies of maya renderer option for one of the parts. Others are different only in file name and number of frames. Pls let me know if you need something else,
Thanks!

Add File Properties/Summary to render in After Effects?

Is there a way to add file description info to a render in after effects?
For instance:
I want to render out my sequence as an WMV - set up the render and output settings for that etc.
Once it's rendered I want to be able to right click on the file in Windows, click Properties, go to the Summary tab and see a specific title, let's say "Happy Bunnies" in the "Title" space in the description - Or if I open it in window media player, I want it to say "Happy Bunnies" as the title under "Now playing"
I don't want the file name to be Happy Bunnies.wmv - just the title of the video.
Is it possible to add properties like that to the output settings in After Effects? If I have 10 videos, I don't want to have to change that in all of them individually in windows - but rather add it to an output template in after effects.
thanks

Good question, but for the most part I believe the answer is No. The real question here is, how this metadata gets added and AE does not support Title, Author and so on. when you do this in Media Player, it also only exists locally in your Library until you choose to update your media information. The only AE supports are chapters. When you add markers to a timeline and enter text in teh Chapter field, it will appear in the respective menu in WMP. short of that, you will have to use otehr tools, it seems. Windows Media Encoder is free, so that would be one option otehr tools, e.g. the one bundled with Nero Burning ROM also can as can of course several alternative commercial converters.

Help importing a .swf file from Flash CS5.5 to After Effects CS5.5

I am working on animating a person in flash. I have a main timeline and then a timeline inside of a symbol so I can move
the characters facial features (eyebrows and mouth etc) apart from moving his entire body.
I want to have multiple scenes so I am importing all of the .swfs into After Effects and putting them together.
However, when I import the .swf into After Effects, it only plays what occurs in the main timeline
and not the timeline inside of the symbol, so it is just the character moving without the facial movements.
Is there a way to fix this or a better program to import the .swfs into and make the video?
Thanks in advance.

Here's the note from After Effects Help aboutt he limitations to SWF import:
SWF (continuously rasterized) Note: SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained.
The limitation that you noticed---that only animation in the top-level timeline is retained---is not one that can be worked around without changing how your animation is set up in Flash.
