Problem export After effect H264   I get m4v instead of mp4

Hello
I have AFTER EFFECTS CS5. I have always used H264  to get MP4 files for my export, but I can no longer use it. I follow the exact procedures, check that the export will be in MP4 but when I say ok then it changes the file into a M4V instead of MP4. As a result I can't read this file.
Thanks for your help

    Problem updating After Effects CC (2014)  I get this message: Update Failed  Error encountered during installation. (U44M1P7)

    Hi,
    It’s version 13.1.1  It’s a trial version.
    I am updating it from the Creative cloud desktop application.
    I have the photography subscription with Lightroom and Photoshop with Creative Cloud.
    I was interested in trying out the video software and have trials of Premiere Pro as well as others.  The CC desktop app alerted me to the AF update just as it does for the others I subscribe to plus the ones I am using as trials.  I have not had any problems with the other apps (trial or not), only with AF.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with After Effects CC 12.1

    Hello,
    I have a problem with After Effects CC ver.12.1. It does not work on my mac (with os x mavericks).
    I am a member of Cretive Cloud and I have a latest version of After Effects and it does not work.
    Other programs, like: Photoshop, Adobe Premiere or Illustrator works fine.
    But when I run the AE I get the message "You can not start After Effects -10810"
    Where is the problem?

    Same here, I get these messages - I'm confused as to why it says version 12.0 as it should be 12.1!

  • Problem with After Effects crashing machine when rendering

    Ive been having a repeated problem with after effects crashing when I try to render a sequence.
    The render halts then first After Effects becomes unresponsive then every other applications follows and I have to hard-restart my machine.
    Can anyone help me find out how to stop this happening?

    i - Illl try to answer these bellow...
    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.
    Ive just updated it - I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    Just don'e this - not tried to render since
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Late Mac operating system Yosamete 10.10.1 (14B25)
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    There is no error message
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
    Performing a render, the render gets partially through but stops at different parts and hangs, then the computer hangs and I have to hard reset.
    Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
    I had a similar problem two days ago, i thought it could be a problem with some animated png sequences and a "matte feather" effect so i replaced the sequences with non animated versions and it seemed to fix the problem.

  • Problem opening After Effects

    I just downloaded CS6 Master Collection on my new mac. When I want to open After Effects I get this message: "After Effects warning: there are multiple copies og plug-in effects "3D Camera Tracker" on your drive. To avoid problems, quit After Effects and move or delete the older or uneeded version(s)".
    If I click OK, it continues with all the plug-in effects, and I have to force clising to get it away.
    I don´t have any older version, so what shall I do?

    This has nothing to do with an "older version". The camera tracker was only introduced in CS6. Check the relevant program and MediaCore folders for duplicates that may have been introduced by a busted install or whatever.
    Important Directories
    In case of doubt run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, delete the Adobe folders entirely and reinstall with a clean slate.

  • I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop,

    Good days, at present I have a complete package of cs6.
    With this package of cs6 I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop, the message is " not available: Live photoshop 3d ".
    Who is the best sulución?

    After Effects does not import live Photoshop 3D objects.
    As Mylenium says, you need to use Cinema 4D (included with After Effects CC), Invigorator, Element 3D, or some other plug-in or application to bring 3D items into After Effects.

  • Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4

    Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
    Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
    Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.

    Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
    I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs.

  • Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

    Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

    Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

  • FCPX 10.0.6 - why is the files transcoded as .m4v instead of .mp4 ?

    Hi there,
    In 10.0.4, after clicking share, the files are transcoded im mp4 format.
    But now in FCPX 10.0.6 - why are the files transcoded as .m4v instead of .mp4 ?
    In both instances I selected Apple devices.
    I noticed both the filesize are about the same.
    But the latter took so much longer to transcode.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Thanks Tom, this is great !
    Btw, do you think whether there is any difference in the time taken by FCPX to transcode it to .m4v as against .mp4 ?
    Thanks again

    FCP has always made .m4v for Apple devices. If you want MPEG-4 for computer you have to change it in the Settings.

  • A Headache of a problem! After Effects to DVDSP

    Hello to every one!
    I am having a heck of a time trying to figure this out. I will try and sum this up as best as I can
    The goal of the project is - To create a motion menu in After Effects, export and bring into DVD Studio Pro and add buttons for the video. Thats pretty much it.
    The Problem I am having - Once I export the menu it looks great, but once I bring it into DVDSP it losses so much quality that I cant use it. I get horrible interlacing, looks like its vertical if anything. Im ages goes very soft and block.
    I made the menu in After Effects using the the - NTSC D1 Widescreen SQ Pixels. After doing some reading I was seeing that even if I want it to be a 16:9 Menu It still needs to be made in the 720x480 Dimensions. So I set my comp to NTSC DV Widescreen 720x480 with the Pixel Aspect Ratio to D1/DV Widescreen 1.21.
    This did not help at all. But to try anything I could think of I imported the new file with the new settings into Motion and exported it out of there with the default NTSC settings and brought it in to DVDSP and it look good! just a little soft. I though I was in the clear but after I burned the DVD and popped it into a player it looked a little better then the first time I burned but still has all the interlacing problems.
    Can any one help me out here? Am I missing something as far as to witch setting I should Set After Effects before I make a menu? Im lost here and have been dealing with this for 4 days
    Alslo about Pixel Aspect Ratio Why dose After Effects use .90 and 1.21 but Motion or DVDSP use .90 or 1.20?

    I hope some one can add to this... Dose no one use After Effects to build motion menus?
    I got a little farther in my problem, I took my comps that are made in NTSC D1 Widescreen SQ Pixels
    when doing the final render I selected the Stretch under render Que. and selected the NTSC DV Wide Screen preset. This set the video to 720x480 looking squeezed. Once I imported into DVD Studio Pro, DVDSP un-squeezed the footage and it fit like a 16x9 menu should. However the image still looked bad. I still had the tearing problems and jaggy lines every where. Once again I took the file and brought it into Motion used the NTSC DV preset. Loaded it in and just exported it out and brought back into DVDSP. It looks good no jaggy lines or anything, a little soft though. however when I burn the DVD I still get artifacts around some graphics. (little blocks)
    I don't understand why the extra step to Motion makes the file look better in DVDSP?
    I also don't understand how there is no information on the web about using After Effects with DVDSP.

  • Problems with After Effects video in Premiere CS5

    I've run into an interesting problem using sequences in Premiere Pro CS5 that I create in After Effects CS5. Here's the skinny: I created a sequence in AE, 1440x1080. I exported the composition as a movie (avi). I then imported it into my 1440x1080 Premiere project. It looked great when playing it in the preview monitor. But - when I place the video clip on the timeline, I first get a green bar and then a red bar - even when the clip is the only video on the timeline. And sometimes the red bar even extends to a clip that's adjacent to the AE clip. When I render the effects in the sequence, the red bar problem goes away - BUT the quality of the AE clip is compromised. The image gets noticeably noisy and degraded. Does anyone have insights as to why this is happening? Am I exporting the AE sequence incorrectly? Many thanks.

    Jim,
    I was able to import an AE comp into Premiere using your suggestion below. After I rendered it in Premiere, it played fine. Thanks.

  • Problems importing After Effects files into FCP

    Hey guys--
    So I have this odd problem importing my after effects clips into FCP. I am working in standard DV, and my After Effects composition settings match my FCP settings.
    I am snipping little bits from my FCP project, exporting them to QT, adding stuff on top in AE, then shooting the clip back to FCP. The problem is, whent he clip goes back to FCP it is slightly "pinched." It's not really thaat visible, unless I try to edit a cut in the same shot. The after effects clip is a couple pixels wider, and the quality is a little blurry. If it is a hard edit, you wouldn't even notice the difference, but the two shots together make it pretty noticeable. I'm not set to square pixels or anything, and i get the same results no matter which codec i render in AE with.
    Any ideas?

  • Exporting after effects files to Final cut pro

    Hello, I'm trying to export some simple AE quicktime movies for use in the 'Final cut pro' application.I'm using AE CS5.5 on Mac OSX and my colleague is using version 5.1.4 of Final cut pro on Mac OSX. My movies arent rendering very well in FCP (my colleague tells me that there is loss of quality). What format should I render my movies as in  the 'Output Module settings' box? And what 'video Codec' should I select from the 'Format options' box in the 'Output Module settings' box? I'm guessing that getting this correct is the issue...and I cant seem to get the right setting!
    Please help! Its driving me mad!
    Many thanks in advance.

    I've got a different opinion about 422. I find even 422LT it is completely adequate and satisfactory for 90% of the work I do with my partner. However, we mostly use ProRes4444 when exchanging movie files, even if we dont' need the alpha, simply because it's a good standard that we can always use whether we're coming out of Motion or After Effects or FCP.
    If your movie looks good to you coming out of AE, but your editor says it is not rendering well in FCP, he's probably got something set improperly in FCP for handling the file you've given him or you are giving him an incorrect frame size or frame rate. Your output settings should match his timeline's base codec, almost exactly. But you must consider his need for an aplha chanel, color space, frame rate, scalability and other factors.
