No Audio for Adobe After Effects CS4?

Hi, I'm an Adobe After Effects Enthusiast and I'm a bit new to After Effects, but I have a problem:
When I import audio files such as .mp3 and .wav, I cannot hear them whatsoever. The area in which it takes place in the composition shows, but no sound comes out, even if I turn my speakers to full blast (Not recommended). I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to fix this, because audio is a very important key feature of Movies/ Graphics.
Thanks for your help.

If that doesn't solve it and you may experience technical or configuration problems, please provide more details about your computer.

  • MP4 File in Adobe After Effects CS4 Only Plays Audio

    So, I recorded some videos of Just Cause 2 on my PS3, and transfered them over to the videos section, I then put the videos on a USB flash drive, and put them on my computer, where I tried to open them in Adobe After Effects CS4, it didn't work. xD
    It pretty much has no video, only audio.
    But if you play the actual file with a player like Windows Media Player, it'll play fine.
    I've tried changing the file extension to Mov, WMV, AVI, and every other one I could think of. And it'll only give me an error saying it's probably not a supported file type xD.
    Oh, and I also have other mp4 files that will open in AE fine.
    Any help would be awesome.

    Transcode the file using tools like SUPER©, MPEGStreamclip, ffmpeg and so on. There are too many flavors of MPEG 4 out there that AE could handle them all and this seems to be exactly one such case.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

    Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
    Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
    RAM - 2.0GB
    Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
    Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
    Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
    Thanks

    Verify the following:
    a) you run as administrator
    b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
    c) you have enough temporary disk space
    d) no other tools are interfering
    For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

    Its all in dutch because my system is Dutch.
    Can anyone help me out, i really want to use this super cool program
    Gravious

    Well, for starters, I wouldn't extract the installer packages to the place where later the program will reside (C:\Program Files\Adobe). that is bound to cause any number of conflicts in the installer because source location = target location. Please move the files out of that directory to a neutral location. The same may even be true for your L: drive due to similarity in folder structure. That aside, your computer is not the newest one. While CS4 should run on P4 processors, there are no guarantees, so even a call to support may not resolve the matter. Since the setup crashes right away, it is more likely that some critical system library is missing or it5 really cannot handle your processor. For the first, run a manula Windows Update and include a few extra components like . NET runtime. You may also need to install additional MSVC runtimes, so stop by at the Microsoft site. Regarding the processor, you should look into turning off hyperthreading in the BIOS and/or tweaking other settings like SSE support or interrupt handling. sometimes this helps.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 will not load to Snow Leopard

    Recently My hard drive crashed. I reloaded Snow Leopard on my computer and all of my support applications.
    I attempted to load Adobe After Effects CS4, but it would not load. 
    I read where others had problems back in 2009.
    Is there a fix for this problem?

    Mmh, something is leaking. Are there any other Adobe products on the system that use MPEG CoDecs (Premiere, Encore, Adobe Media Encoder). If so, my best guess would be that those are not installed correctly or were messed up during an update or so. That stuff is shared by all apps and while your system is not ideal, it certainly should work and not give this error. Depending on what is going on, only a full re-install of everything might fix it, though, unfortunate as it may be. So make friends with the CS3 and CS4 Clean Scripts from the support pages, set aside a good afternoon and take some deep breaths...

  • Can you create the Title effect in Daybreakers, adobe after effects cs4,,please take this one as cha

    im currently studying Adobe After Effects CS4, and i found the title of DAYBREAKER(2009)movie a very interesting effect to create, i hope you can give me tutorials on how to do that..please! more power, NOTE: im using adobe after effects cs4

    From what I saw on the trailer for this film the titles are a modified version of George Peolvoy's Flowing Title tutorial posted on Creative Cow about 10 years ago. You'll find the tutorial here.
    The glass effect on the type can be duplicated using layer effects in Photoshop and / or then applying those layer effects to your type layer directly in AE. You'll find a bunch of those tutorials by doing a simple Google search for Glass Text Photoshop.
    There is no one click, one plug-in solution, but if you integrate the layer effects, a displacement map, some compound blur, and a little position keyframing + motion blur you should be able to duplicate the effect exactly. George's tutorial should get you started. If I remember right the project files were for AE 4.1 so they probably won't open in CS4.
    Good luck

  • No keylight in Adobe After Effects CS4 ?

    I can't find the keylight in Adobe After Effects CS4.  not under "keying" and not when I search for it in the effects search input.
    where can I find it? or how and where can download the plugin in order to install it ?

    Keylight is not available in the trial version, only in the full one. A demo should be avialable via The Foundry's website.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes During Startup

    Hey I have a major problem i think.. after I installed AAE CS4 I picked the trial to see how it was b4 i bought it. Once everything was installed and complete I restarted my computer but when I went to open the program it pulled the grey aae startup box. It had 4% complete and said Initializing Media Core then it just stops and minutes later crashes with not progress. It continually does it with no improvement. Anybody that can help me?

    I did all of the above:
    - 9.03 update
    -   1. Go go Control Panel -> System-> Advance System settings
         2. Click Advanced tab, Performance -> Setting
         3. Click Data Execution Prevention  -> Turn on DEP for all programs except those I select - > Here you click Browse and choose where your AE CS4 location is, and click Apply -> OK .
    - Run as administrator
    Nothing worked. I still get the crash at start-up with the message
    <960> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir=   
    C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Required.
    and after that sorry, AE can'r continue..
    Help me please, I have the 30 days trial and I desperately need to learn how this program works for a project. After that I want to buy it.
    My system is 32bit Vista Windows, I installed AE CS4 (that's the last one to run on 32bit right?) and did an update to 9.03.

  • Easiest way to color correct Final Cut project in Adobe After Effects CS4

    Hello, I have a project in Final Cut Studio 2, that I would love to color correct in Adobe After Effects CS4.  What would be the easiest, highest quality, most direct way to import or color correct Final Cut project in Adobe After Effects?
    Thanks a lot

    Export the FCP project, import it in Premiere Pro. From there, import the saved Premiere project into AE to retain the clips. How you get it back to FCP is anotehr matter, but simply rendering from AE should suffice. For everything else, Automatic Duck or BorisFX' XML Transfer would certainly offer a way to get this working in both directions....

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 loads N8 video with 500 fp...

    I tried to import HD video captured with Nokia N8 in Adobe After Effects CS4 and it imports it with 500 fps. I also tried to import it to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and I got same results.
    Video is accelerated, originally 40 seconds, in Adobe 2 seconds. I tried to modify it in Adobe After Effects and after I set it to 25 fps, length is normal, but the sound isn't.
    Does anybody know solution for that? 

    Nobody can't help me?
    I have mobile phone with 12MP HD camera and I need to use my old 3.2MP DVD camera because Nokia screwed up something.
    Do you know what codecs Nokia N8 is using, so I could check online for them? Maybe that will fix the problem.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Scripts

    Hi,
    I have Adobe After Effects CS4
    Does anybody know where I can download
    Some Free After Effects Scripts?
    Like, Cubes, Cylinders, etc?
    Thanks
    Phillip

    See "Where to find additional useful scripts" for a listing of some of my favorite resources for scripts.
    I'm confused by the "Like Cubes, Cylinders, Etc." part of your message. You specifically want to use scripts to make cubes and cylinders? Whatever the case, you can probably find what you're looking for with the After Effects Community Help search. For example, this search for 'script cube' pulls up several useful results that provide links to projects and scripts for making 3D cubes in After Effects.

  • Cant install Adobe after effects CS4 , Why ?

It said "Cannot install Please click the quit button" .. I dont know why it goes like that . Does it need requirements ? Did I forget to do something before I downloaded it ? Please tell me why I really have to get adobe after effects CS4 , its for my project .. Please

    That link is not a full instal packake of Adobe After Effects CS4 - that is only an update.
    If you need AE just login to your Adobe Account and download Creative Cloud App and from that AE CS6, CC or CC 2014.
