No output module

Just installed PS, Flash & BR from the web premium CS4 There's no output module showing in Bridge nor is does it show in the "Window" drop down menu. I've checked Bridge->Preferences->Startup script panel-- Output Module is checked. I've restarted several times. Running Gateway PC-XP Media Center--Athlon-3GB ram. Any ideas as to how to resolve this issue?
Thanks, Gary

John,
Photoshop (PS) is installed. I just downloaded & installed the CS4 updates which included an output module update but still no joy. Everything is installed on the C drive- C> Program Files> Adobe>

Quicktime Export Error: "An output module stopped responding."

I'm experiencing an odd export error whenever I use any Quicktime codecs:
"After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects."
Similarly, Adobe Media Encoder hangs when outputting to Quicktime codecs. Neither program makes any progress at all before the hang occurs. At that point, I have to manually "end task" to exit. Also, it doesn't seem to matter what I try to export. In AME, for example, I can simply try to convert one video format to another and have it hang, so I don't think the problem is due to a problem with the source settings or effects. Also, I'm not attempting any multiprocessing since I don't really have enough RAM for that. Other output modules work, so I'm just exporting image sequences for the time being.
System specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i7-2600k processor
8 GB RAM
GTX 580 GPU
Software:
Adobe CS6
AE Plugins include Tracode Suite 12 and Optical Flares
Quicktime 7.7.3
Any thoughts on this? I've seen very few references to this error in other places, and not really found a solution that seems to apply to my situation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for setting me in the right direction. Clicking through to the 25 :: 101 error page (http://myleniumerrors.com/2013/01/06/25-101-4/) led me to a reference about other software, such as remote access software, using the same ports that AE needs for communication with its various processes. In my case, LogMeIn was the culprit. I had no idea that AE even used TCP for these types of operations, so that's very helpful to know.
*EDIT*
That worked temporarily, and now it doesn't work. I ran into a similar effect when I first disabled the Windows Firewall. But of course, as I type this and piddle around, it works again. It SEEMS like if I open AME and click into the output settings and scrub through the video preview, it makes everything work when I go to actually export. That's exactly the type of thing I would say is completely unrelated under normal circumstances, but at the moment all I know is that it is currently working and I don't want to test anything else until I finish the rendering I need to accomplish today. I'll work on it more later and post an update at that time.
Thanks,
Josh

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."
Screenshot of the error message:
I tried reinstalling QuickTime (7), repaired it, updated After Effects to the latest version(as I am writing this), checked firewall software, and used other formats such as AVI.
Adobe Media Encoder (CC 2014-latest version) won't work with me, either.
I sent the composition to Adobe Media Encoder, and this is what I got, no progress here.

It took a while to connect to the dynamic link server, and failed.

I even tried must making one and adding the file to it, but no go. can someone PLEASE help me with this? I have an assignment due like now that requires the use of the output modue.thanks!

Bridge Help / Install Adobe Output Module is Not working

New computer so switched to the Maverick OS and moved my CS6 over. Lost my Output Module in Bridge. Went through the all of the resets and downloads recommended by Adobe and I still have not had any success in getting the module back. Would prefer not to reinstall. Any ideas

What do you mean by "moved 'my' CS6 over" ? ???

After Effects CC Output Modules on Render Only Machines

Hi there, I'm having an issue with custom Output Module Templates and my renderfarm:
After Effects CC 12.0.0.404 (showing as up to date in Creative Cloud)
Mac OS X 10.8.4 (Latest Mountain Lion version)
Mac Pro 2.93 GHz 8-Core, Radeon 5870, 32GB RAM and with Blackmagic Decklink Extreme 3D+
Remote Machines (there are four) are Mac Pros as well (Quad-core, running 10.7.2 with 16GB RAM), using the ae_render_only_node.txt file in their user Documents folder.
The exact error:
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
I am trying to get a renderfarm working with After Effects CC (see exact version above). Unfortunately, I need custom output modules and I can't seem to get the render slaves to recognize them. I found older threads on this exact issue, but no solution was found.
I am using commandline aerender in OS X terminal to start a render with a basic test scene.
To simplify things, I have tried testing this on one render slave machine at a time... Same result everywhere.
Here's what I've tried:
I exported a .aom file from my main machine (where I have my desired custom Output Modules) and attempted to bring it in on the render slaves. However, because the render slaves are render only, (they have ae_render_only_node.txt in their Documents folder), the ability to import Output Modules is disabled in After Effects (it opens as the After Effects Render Engine, and the Edit>Templates menu is greyed out).
Next, I thought I'd try copying the main machine's /Users/(user)/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0 folder over to the render slaves, thinking that would get whatever preference file to them that's needed to define the output modules. No luck. Launched After Effects (which loads as After Effects Render Engine) and reset my disk cache preferences (so they weren't still the main machine's). Tried aerender again... no luck. Same error:
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
After that, I thought it would be a good idea to sign out of Adobe Creative Cloud on the main machine, and try logging into the render slave machine with my full UserID and Password and temporarily remove the ae_render_only_node.txt file. Then, I'd import the .aom file in the full version of AE... I tried this and success! The renders work... they find the Output Modules no problem. Only issue is, as soon as I sign out, and switch to using the ae_render_only_node.txt file, the Output Modules are not found. Not sure what's going on-- if the Output Modules are being disabled by the ae_render_only_node.txt file? Or maybe signing out of my Adobe ID is removing the preferences that determine Output Modules? Don't know where the Output Module preferences are stored to be able to tell.
Next attempt: I thought I'd try syncing my preferences with Creative Cloud. I made sure to check After Effects Sync Preferences to ensure that Output Modules are set to sync. I did a sync where I uploaded my preferences from the main machine. Then, on the render slaves, I ran Sync Preferences, and chose to download preferences. Works when signed in, but not when used as a render only node. When it's a render only node, it still prompts me to Download the Sync Preferences and Quit the Application, which I do, but nothing seems to happen. I try aerender again, and still the same error:
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
I can't seem to find any info on where Output Modules are actually stored (apparently they're not anywhere in the User/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/ folder?). Are render only nodes not allowed to have custom Output Modules? Not even for something as simple as the Multi-Machine Sequence with a post-render action of Set Proxy enabled?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank You.

I've verified this problem and filed a bug. Sorry about the hiccup.
I've trying to pin down why this happens, and while I don't have a full explanation yet I think I've stumbled onto a workaround:
Trash the prefs on the render machine.
Enable the ae_render_only_node.txt file.
Launch AE and then quit. <- This is a critical step. More on this later.
Disable ae_render_only_node.txt file.
Launch AE.
Add your Output Module template.
Quit AE.
Enable the ae_render_only_node.txt file.
After you do this, I highly recommend making a backup copy of the Adobe After Effects 12.0 Prefs-indep-output.txt file. Just in case. I've had the failure reappear.
Now test with aerender and let me know if that works. It has on my machine.
Why does this matter? When you run AE with the ae_render_only_node.txt file enabled, it appears to add a new section to the preferences: "Output Module Preference Section v28-TRIAL". It's the TRIAL part that is important. Without it, AE doesn't seem to be able to keep track of the OM's when in render_only_node mode. And if you disable the ae_render_only_node.txt file, AE has a tendency to destroy the TRIAL section (I'm still tracing why that happens).
Now, should this not work for you, I recommend you work around the problem by adding your comps to the render queue in each project. When you do that, and change your aerender flags appropriately, you can render to your desired settings without specifying OMtemplate parameter.
> I can't seem to find any info on where Output Modules are actually stored (apparently they're not anywhere in the User/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/ folder?).
You probably already discovered this. In After Effects CC the OM data is stored in the Adobe After Effects 12.0 Prefs-indep-output.txt file. In older versions of AE, a single pref file such as Adobe After Effects 11.0-x64 Prefs.txt holds all of this data.
Let me know if that workaround does the trick for you. If I get more information on the cause of the problem I'll update you.

Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

Hello,
I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
AEGP_SetOutputChannels
AEGP_SetStretchInfo
AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
The drop down list contains following format options
Adobe Clip Notes
Adobe Flash video
Quicktime movie
Video for Windows
I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
I follow below steps to do so.
1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
3. Add it to render queue
4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
Please help.
Thanks,
-Namita

Hi Namita,
I am experiencing the same problem.
I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
It is always set to "avi"
I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
Does anyone know how to change this?

I want to create a contact sheet in Bridge CC and there isn't an output module..

I don't seem to have the Output Module for Bridge CC. I read how to copy and paste it into the Bridge Extensions folder. It did copy it, and it did add "output" to my menu bar but the content area is blank, so I cannot pick my PDF output options for a contact sheet. I even uninstalled Bridge CC and re-installed it. I was hoping the update included the Output Module, but it didn't. Any suggestions?

Adobe Bridge CC Output Module Issues

I'm having to continually uninstall and reinstall the Output Module folder and workspaces file. The web gallery function in Bridge will work a few times, and then the next time I try to use it, it will create a folder with the usual index and resources, but when I click on it to test it, or upload it onto my server, no gallery or images or anything ever loads. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Output Module files (found at http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html) at least five times. I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and Bridge CC is current.

There are several long threads about this subject.
Be sure to follow the instructions exactly (using the correct libraries and folders, be aware that by default the user library in Mac is hidden per OSX7) and also look at these threads:

Bridge CC Output Module fix works on WIN7, not on MAC OS X

I have CC installed on a WIN desktop and a MacBookAir. Everything is up-to-date. The are no old Adobe versions installed.
I installed the recent 'fix' on the desktop and it works fine.
On the MBA, there is no folder as named in the Adobe instructions (Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions).
There is no "Extensions" folder, just the Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC. This is where I copied the file and folder. The 'OUTPUT' module appears as a selection in Bridge, but does not appear when selected.
I have tried the sugested trouble shooting fixes, to no avail. I have searched and read the other threads on this subject on the forums.
Is there anyone who has made this fix work on OS X and can help me correct this?

On the MBA, there is no folder as named in the Adobe instructions (Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions).
To me this seems to indicate you are looking in the wrong library.
The give path for install needs to be done in the library from your system itself: MacBookAir (or the name you gave it) / Macintosh HD (or the custom name you gave to your start up disk) and then library / App sup / Adobe/ Bridge CC Extensions
I believe you are trying to install in the user library and there is only a BridgeCC folder

Bridge cc will not open after trying to add patch aom package (adobe output module) to workspace

bridge cc will not open after trying to add patch aom package (adobe output module) to workspace. this patch was recommended by adobe help to allow creating pdf presentations. the help stated bridge cc was shipped without this and to download aom package win 64. I tried that, and either did something wrong or? I deleted bridge cc 64 bit, then went to cc and downloaded bridge cc (not sure if it is 32 or 64) and the program still does not open. any ideas?

Scripting Adobe Bridge CS4 Output Module

Anyone done it? An API definition appears absent from the Bridge CS4 SDK documentation.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with ExternalObject, can you shed some additional light on the subject? Previously I've used the Adobe Photoshop Scripting Reference to figure out what objects to instantiate and invoke. I note all sorts of things I can invoke in the Bridge CS4 docs, but not the Output Module. These files you refer to on the drive, I'm not sure what you mean. I can find all sorts of jsx samples, but none pertinent to this particular issue.
Thanks again.

Bridge CC, unsuccessful manual installation for output module.

I have manually installed the Adobe Output Module for Bridge CC. I followed EVERY STEP in the directions from http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
After installation, I am receiving the "I/O error". I have googled this error, and it appears that many are having this same issue, and no one has a solution to fix the problem. I am currently taking an online graphics course, and this first assignment should only take 1 hour...I am now up to 8 hours of trying to troubleshoot this and figure this out...and I'm wasting my Labor Day. I'm so frustrated and almost to the point of canceling my Creative Cloud membership AND my online class since I'm already running into problems with Assignment #1. I do have the CS3 program, but I do not want to go through this class with such an outdated program.
Does Adobe know if they are working to fix this problem, or if it will ever be fixed? If they are in the process of fixing it, do they know approximately how long it will take? Can someone please offer a solution or shine some light on the topic. I am working on a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
Thank you!

No, I can not get older versions. I would have to pay $999 for CS6
This is not true, you should be able to download CS6 for free with your CC subscription:
From the FAQ of CC:
Do Creative Cloud members have access to previous versions of Creative Cloud apps?
Yes. Creative Cloud paid members have access to a select set of archived versions of the desktop apps. Starting with CS6, select versions of each of the desktop creative apps will be archived and available for download. Archived versions are provided "as is" and are not updated to work with the latest hardware and software platforms.
You just have to dig a bit deeper in the Creative Cloud download center.
Try this link:
https://creative.adobe.com/products/photoshop
Or visit the Creative cloud page and look for the download center, select Photoshop icon and from this page you can select either CC or CS6
