Bridge CC no compatible with the new After Effects CC 2014 ?

Hi, I'm updating the Adobe suite (CC 2014) .but After Effects CC 2014 no longer works with the old Bridge CC (there is no update of Bridge). Since "browse presets" in After Effects when choosing a preset (dissolves etc) there is an error message:
"After Effects error: can not import file" Entries lum.-marq.calque.ffx "unsupportedfiletype or extension (0 :: 1). With all presets.
I tried on other computers with other adobe updated it makes such licenses except with the old version of adobe after effects (after CC effects) I tried too to change language of Bridge and After effects (beharps this is a langage compatibility problem) but the problem is the same.
So I think the new version after effects CC 2014 is not compatible with the presets adobe bridge CC ??
How can I do? I have to go through the old version of after to apply a preset Bridge? I can not even download it in cloud creativ ... there is only the new version of after effects...

After Effects CC (2014) MacPro Performance??

I just installed the new After Effects CC (2014) on my 2013 MP with 2 D700s. I am not noticing any significant difference from the previous version of AE. GPUs are still showing as 2GB of VRAM (see below). I dropped in a 5K (5120x2700) R3D clip into a 1080p comp, scaled to width and tried to move the playhead, let alone play and it is extremely sluggish (media is on a G-Raid). Even at "low" debayer and 1/4 res I seem to max out at 20fps without ram previewing. Mercury Transmit is off, both "Viewer Quality" options are set to "Faster". Even with a 1080p ProResHQ file I can't get realtime playback without ram previewing.
What I can do to fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tim,
Thank you for the replies.
Is this to say that to simply play a quicktime video file (no effects or adjustments made) in After Effects the expected behaviour is that it must be RAM previewed?
This is how After Effects currently works. It hasn't changed in many years. You can initiate playback without RAM Preview (press spacebar), but the playback speed will depend on how fast the frames can be cached to memory for playback, and will very likely not be real-time except for the simplest of comps.
This is exactly the change that I am looking for. In my opinion, "the simplest of comps" would be things like "a comp with a QT file and no effects/adjustments", "an Illustrator file moving in the example of a credit roll". Hopefully this will all be improved upon in future releases. I am looking forward to seeing them.
As per the After Effects blog post a few months ago about future improvements all that I (and I am confident that the majority of users will agree) would like to see is for After Effects to be significantly faster (think the improvement to the "search" feature in Premiere).
We also want to make After Effects faster. As I mentioned, we are currently focused on performance-related improvements to After Effects. The blog post you referenced was written while we were in the middle of developing the After Effects CC 2014 (13.0) release, and beginning to think about our next release. A side note here: performance in After Effects includes both rendering performance and interactive performance; that is, how fast After Effects allows you to work.
I will anxiously await these updates. As a note: I feel that interactive performance is a higher priority than rendering performance.
During the CC2014 release presentation on video there were multiple references to "not waiting for renders", except this is exactly what you have to do when working in After Effects.
Can you be more specific about what context you saw this in? Can you provide a link? "Not waiting for renders" is a fairly generic statement, so context is important. It may have been used in connection with the new text templates feature in After Effects CC 2014, which allows faster workflows between Premiere Pro and After Effects, or with Dynamic Link in general. Otherwise, I need to know how that phrase was used in order to understand your perception of it.
Yes, the context was always in relation to either dynamic linking with PPro, or Direct linking betweens PPro and SpeedGrade. However, the overall impression I got was that Adobe's goal with the video applications was to improve the interactive performance so that users can focus more on being creative and less on waiting for the software.
Could you please also address the issue of After Effects still recognizing the MacPro GPUs as having 2GB of memory instead of 12GB?
We have a bug open on this and are investigating.
Thank you. I was really hoping that the 2014 release would fix this, but understand that it is likely quite complicated and there are many other improvements/bug fixes that the team is working on. Are there any updates on when this expected? Is this effecting performance or just simply the readout in After Effects' GPU information.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to address all of these concerns and am looking forward to the continued updates to the entire CC video suite.

No Audio After Effects CC 2014 Trial

Hi there,
I am a neeeewbie so please forgive my lack of knowledge of jargon etc!
I have trailed after effects before, and just updated to a new trial before looking at purchasing.
I had an old composition from an older trial that I have now opened in the new After Effects CC 2014. Annnd no audio. On anything. My sound effects, my vids, nadda. All MP3 format, all worked in previous After Effects with no issues.
Tried to create a new composition with a completely different audio file and just no audio during RAM preview at all.
Any suggestions or advice?

Oh dear
I have no idea haha!!!

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

After Effects CC 2014 - Rendering / saving project file to CS6

Hello all,
I'm writing here to try to understand the st**** decision to exclude mp4 and mpeg from the render possibilities from After Effects CC 2014. I would gladly go back to CS6 but as of now I have more than 40 hours of edited video project in CC 2014, which of course cannot save project files to CS6, which is another brilliant move by somebody in Adobe that has the title position of "the dude for giving ideas to p*** people off". Now the problem is this, if I choose to export just a single clip from my composition of course I cannot export it to a container and codec of my choosing since it cannot be exported to Media Encoder, and has to be done in After Effects or I have to make a composition for each and every file, in order to export it to to the Media Encoder.
Now I ask you good people any way to move my projects back to CS6, remove this unusable piece of software and be over with it, I simply don't have the time to be toying around with Adobe's new found glory for Apple and exporting stuff to QuickTime, taking 3 times longer than mpeg. Tried with OpenSeasame and by just exporting an XML file but none work so if there is any other way please let me know.
Good thing I only got 1 month and didn't pay for the whole year...
Cheers,
shorto

Did you use any of the new features in either AE CC (the original one) or CC 2014? If yes, you're kinda stuck.
If no, you'd have to engage in a two-step process: backsave the AE CC 2014 project to AE CC, then open the project in AE CC and backsave to CS6.

Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

Hi all,
I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
Never had this problem in CS6.
Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
Here are my specs:
I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

No Refreshed Interface Design in After Effects CC 2014

Sort of an odd question, but how do you change the interface design in After Effects CC 2014 to be the new "Refreshed Interface Design"? Like with the blue text color, borders, and different look panels (as seen in the first image linked). I updated to Adobe After Effects CC 2014 yesterday, and for some reason, my interface design has not changed at all. Is there somewhere in preferences where I can change this? I would appreciate any help, thanks.
What it is supposed to look like:

What my After Effects looks like:

Your second image shows After Effects CC 2014 (13.0). The new UI comes with After Effects CC 2014 (13.1).
I'm curious about how, exactly, you installed the software, since you should have gotten After Effects CC 2014 (13.1.1) if you installed from the Creative Cloud service.

After Effects CC 2014 can't open my project anymore

Hello,
I was working on a project last night, saved my work, and this morning cannot open my project files. Here are reproduction steps:
1. Launch AE CC 2014
2. File > Open Project >
3. Select AEP
4. Nothing happens
There is no error message, no dialogue boxes, no warnings. Nothing happens. I have tried resetting my AE CC 2014 preferences, restarting my box, and tried importing the project file into a fresh AE project with no change in results (a folder does show up, but contains no data). Auto-saved AEP's also contain no data.
Here are my machine specs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 80 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
After Effects CC 2014 2014.1.1 Release - v13.1.1.3
Anyone else run into this issue, or have any thoughts on how to solve this? Thanks for your time.

We need waaaaaaay more information. Here's the stock request for info to provide: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
And here are essential particulars:
Win or Mac? Exactly which version?

Can you create a new project?

After Effects CC 2014 not scrubbing audio

Hey, I'm using After Effects CC 2014, and none of the usual shortcuts are scrubbing audio (I've tried command-drag, ctrl-drag, and alt-drag). I'm not sure where the problem is. Is there something new I'm not aware of or some kind of preview setting that I need to adjust?
Edit: When I scrub the audio, the volume levels change in the audio panel, but no sound is produced. When I do a RAM preview, the sound is there.

I have 13.1.1.3, I'm running OS 10.9.5, and which system specs would be relevant? Just the hardware overview?

After Effects CC (2014) Error "I need some serious help right now!"

I wanted to create a Superman opening title sequence from After Effects CC (2014). So, I decided to download it from Creative Cloud and put the new "amtlib.framework" file on package contents in the "Framework" folder. I open the application and I get this error.
Then, this other error popped up.
That's where I'm at right now. So, a few questions come to mind.
1. Should I open it in trial mode and quit out of it and then add the "amtlib.framework" file to "Framework" or will it just open and give me the same errors?
2. Do I have to turn off my Wi-Fi and then open the application?
3. Do I have to get the updates first?
Anyone who knows what to do with this issue, I would appreciate it. Don't give me BS answers and don't tell me that I have to update from Mavericks to Yosemite, because I have no interest in Yosemite.
Before I forget, here's info on my MacBook for those wondering.
This is an old laptop I had in the last week of January of 2011. I upgraded it to OS X Lion to Mavericks on 2014. I'm still on Mavericks.
Anyways, some answers and guidance would be great so I can fix the issue and move on.

This is an old laptop
Yes, it is. And with an unsuitable processor and insufficient graphics memory at that. This will never work. You can only download an older version of AE as a trial.

Optical Flares in After Effects CC 2014

Hello,
I'm new to After Effects and Video Copilot video making. I downloaded the Video Copilot's Optical Flares Effect plug-in for Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Release from it's website and now I've three items in the compressed zip file:
1. OpticalFlares Presets
2. Optical Flares Textures
3. OpticalFlares
From what I've come to know about the installation process of Optical Flares as shown by Mr. Andrew Krammer in it's website, I drag-dropped the folder containing all these items. After this when I open After Effects CC 2014 Release I make a New Composition> Layer> Solid. Then I go to the Effects options and can't see Video Copilot as an effect in it. Why is it so? Does the 2014 Release doesn't support it or should I go back to AE's previous versions like CC (12.0) or CS6?
Help me,
Kvaibhav01.

If you are having a problem with a VideoCopilot plugin, I suggest contacting their support team.

Setting AEP Documents to Open by Default with Adobe After Effects CC NOT Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on a Mac

I have installed some of the CC 2014 products for testing. Until the rest my department moves from CC to CC 2014 I need to open and create new projects in CC as the CC 2014 AEP's won't open in other versions.
The issue is when I try to change the file association, in the Get Info inspector, from "Adobe After Effects CC.app" to "Adobe After Effects CC 2014.app" and hit "Change All" it always reverts back to CC 2014. I have tried this as an administrator and even when logged in as administrator. It is like Creative Cloud overrides it. You can do one at a time but you cannot set the default.
I would like to "roll back" my file associations for AE and PS to CC but I don't want to uninstall the 2014 versions if possible as I have already install many plug-ins, license keys, scripts, etc. and everything is working fine within the apps. Is it possible?
Thanks for any help.

Its because of my graphics card.
That makes no sense at all. CC 2014 is available in the Creative Cloud App. Just download it. The system requirements for both are the same. IF CC runs, CC 2014 will.

Why is RAM preview crashing my After Effects CC 2014?

Using Windows 7 x64
After Effects CC 2014
I'm getting numerous crashes when using the RAM Preview.
Until my current project started getting more complicated all was good - no crashes. As I've added more assets to it, it's become very unstable.
When I click the RAM Preview button it'll either crash immediately, or succeed. If it actually starts, it's fine. But more often than not it just crashes the whole program immediately.
How do I solve this?
Is there a checklist I can use to check for possible issues?

Right, right. Vague info I know, but I was hoping for a checklist of common culprits I could eliminate one by one. Very new to the world of video.
I'm running:
Windows 7 x64
Intel i7-3770K CPU @ 3.5GHz
32GB RAM
GeForce GTX 780
Doing a 720p project, but using mainly 1080p footage.
Video files used are .MP4 and .MTS format.
Using various effects. Mostly simple stuff.
Plenty of sound effects and music as well. All .WAV format. No MP3's (I heard AE hates MP3 format).
I don't get any crash info. The entire program freezes until I kill it manually.

After Effects CC 2014 - Crash on launch

At first - I've read all topics with that problem , and it doesn't work correctly.
I bought After Effects as Single Application yesterday. And I'm very sad, because of this problem. Can anyone help me?
I've tried this - CC Applications crash immediately after launch . It did not make any difference.
I can see the work space of After Effects at start for a slit second before crash. And then my window are makins smaller with crash. But it doesn't save any crash logs. I tried to fix it.
I've reinstalled program something about 5-6 times. I used Cleaner Tool too...
If I opened the topic in wrong way - sorry. I'm new here. Please, if u can - help me !
Greets.

Okay, sorry and thanks for the reply.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number and sizes of connected monitors, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
What other software are you running?
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
After Effects CC 2014 (13.2 or 13.0)
I've instaled recent updates
Windows 7 Home Premium
I'm not getting any error messages
It isn't worked before.
Ram = 8GB
CPU Intel Core i5-2450M @ 2,50 GHz
One monitor, disc drive.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
I have the newest drivers.
I have QuickTime (newest).
I'm running skype/chrome like other software.
I'm using OpenGL.
I'm not using Ray Traced 3D,( because my After Effect don't work correctly).
I think that's enough.
