Positioning of elements when opening After Effects 7 projects in CS5

Hi,
Our company works on many After Effects projects, originally created in AE 7. We use After Effects CS5, and find that many of the scene elements appear to be scattered about the scene indescriminantly. Everything still moves and animates correctly, however the positioning is just off. AE 7 projects have been tested on an old trial version of 7 and the positioning was all correct, so the files are not corrupt in any way.. Is there any known solution for this in AE CS5?

Thanks for the reply. I tried resaving the Ai and PSD source files as CS5 versions, but it didn't help at all. It seems like the issue is to do with a conflict between 7 and CS5 versions of After Effects. Any other suggestions maybe?

  • OpenGL crash error when opening after effects

    When I try to load up After Effects it crashes and says "After effects crashed previously attempting to initialize OpenGL". I have updated my graphics card drivers etc. What do I do

    This should help you guys hopefully. I am using the After effects cs6 and it crashes on startup with the error "After effects crahses previously attempting to initialize OpenGL. Consult the manufacturer of your graphics card for a compatible OpenGL driver". I have been using the same GPU for ages now and this has never happened.

  • Is there a way to force GPU acceleration when using After Effects template project?

    I am using the template feature in after effects to create most of my text in a timeline, for about five minutes of text I am sitting on a half hour render. There are two Quadro K4000 GPUs that are spiking at around 8%. Does any one know of a way to force premiere to utilize the GPUs more fully?

    If the After Effects comp is in the timeline, Premiere Pro does the render. At least that's what I'm seeing. Even if the comp is first rendered in After Effects, putting it in the Pr timeline gives the red line. I don't know why you are seeing such long render times just for text -- seems odd. I tried it for a five-minute text comp on Win 7 and it took about 15 seconds, and only used the CPU.
    I remembered seeing a way to tweak the nvidia card to use it more efficiently. Never tried it but here is the link in case you want to explore. The Quadro K4000 is on the list there. Let us know if it helps at all.

  • Strange LAV applications open in mass when using after effects? + other

    Hey guys, when i use after effect tones of little LAV Splitters and Decoders open;
    How do i get rid of this and what does it affect?
    OTHER: also sometimes i when i play back clips in after effect, the clips jumps 5 frames forward then 5 frames back randomly, really anoying and all compostion and clips are 29.97 fps :/ (this usally occurs after , after effects has been opened for a while and move of these LAV icons appear? coinsidence?)
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Eggy

    -I have been editng for around 5 hours and when i RAM preview my clips the fps jumps back and forth and very unfluid (after having told after effects that the file is 29.97fps and not 25fps) I was thinking this might occure with all the LAV things opening when using after effects..
    - yes quicktime is installed 7.6.2
    - other software running: google chrome

    -The problem only occures when i RAM preview, i tried rendering and the clips was fine, but i cant edit with constant fps jumps backwards and forwards.
    VIDEO EXAMPLE:
    in preview RAM as it goes up the stairs and around the corner it jumps a lot of frame for some reason, i also showed the orignal clip just to show that it is smooth.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • Error Opening After Effects CS3 - cannot load AERes1.dll

    Hello,
    When I try to open After effects I get this Error "cannot load AERes1.DLL"
    I tried to reinstall after effects and it didnt dfix the problem.
    I uninstalled the entire Master collection CS3 and reinstalled and the problem didnt solve.
    I could open After Effects in the past.
    Any suggestions?

    OK so this is how I solved the problem if anyone encounter it ever again...
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the CS3 won't help.
    The problem happens probably because of quicktime installed prior to the CS3 updates. I didnt try to remove quicktime. I formatted my PC and luckly I had an image of my c: drive from the time I installed the cs3 and prior to the time I installed Quicktime. So I made all Adobe Cs3 updates first and only than installed Quicktime.
    Now After Effects works.
    If anyone finds a way to solve this without formatting c: drive, let me know.

  • Slow computer on opening After Effects CC

    Hello everyone,
    For about several months now I have a problem with my computer. Whenever I open a project in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. my computer does well. When I open After Effects everything is fine too, but at the moment when I open a project within AE, my computer starts to make noise (hard disks), and is suddenly slower. Now such a project can even be, just one title in a comp. It doesn't even have to be a big project.
    After I close After Effects, my computer is still slow for several minutes (~10 min.). I realize that in Premiere Pro. Playback doesn't go as smooth anymore, PPro and other applications freeze for several seconds somethimes, etc.
    Since my computer is only for work, it would surprice me if I have malware, spyware or virusses. I have done a scan and a defrag, but that didn't helped.
    This is my technical information:
    Windows 7 64bit
    Internal RAID5 (WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM) where I store all my project and work files on.
    SSD M4 for my OS where I have Adobe CC installed on.
    CPU: i7 3930K
    GPU: GTX580
    Memory: Crucial 32GB - DDR3 1.35v 1600Mhz
    Adobe CC, on the latest update.
    This computer is exactly one year old now.
    Now my question to the community is, if this is a comon problem? If this could be a bug within After Effects? (I have tried a reïnstall) Or are there any tools to scan/clean for such a problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jordy

    There was an After Effects-specific issue with odd slowness that others have reported. That is going to be fixed in the update that's coming in a couple of weeks (mid-October was the promised date). Hopefully that issue is the same as yours and the coming update solves it for you too.

  • Unexpected Error message appears every time I try to open After Effects.

    A message saying Unexpected Error appears every time I try to open After Effects. I can't use the application as a result.
    ANY IDEAS?????

    Okay, I'm using After Effects CS4. I am on a Mac OSX 10.7.3
    The message "Unepected Error" appears and is then followed by another window which says "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application set up."
    This all began when I was working on a project and left it for about an hour. When I came back to my computer AE had crashed and these are the messages I get when I try to re-start it.
    I've recently switched computers and transfered all the software from the old one to this new one.
    I used to have this same problem when I used AE on my old mac but deleted some files, I think 'Preferences', from the AE folder in Applications and this sorted the problem out.
    'Preferences' don't appear in the AE folder on my new Mac.
