Problem opening Cineware 4D in After Effects CC

I was trying to access a file that I had already worked on that had a Cineware 4D layer. When the project is opening I am getting a message that says "AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINDERENDER - Connection failure (5027::12). Also, I tried to add a new 4D layer to another project and CINEWARE won't open to do any editing to the layer. I need help with how to reopen the files and work on them.

Found the answer on another board. Now it is working.
"I resolved the problem by running AE as the administrator. Right click on the program and run as administrator. This is using Windows 8.1"

Opening premiere project in after effects

I find that when I bring a project I've edited in Premiere into After Effects, a few of the clips don't come over properly. This always happens with a clip that I've flipped horizontally in Premiere -- it is no longer flipped when I open the project in After Effects. Okay, so I could just re-do that effect on that one clip, but it's even more screwed up than that -- the clip comes in with the wrong in and out points! Has anyone encountered this problem, and is there a solution?
In the project I'm working on now, there are 3 clips that didn't come over to After Effects properly. Two of them were flipped horizontally in Premiere, but the third one was not flipped -- the only adjustment in Premiere was to the Levels.

Make sure you report that, it sounds like a bug.

Bridge opening all .jpg in after effects rather than photoshop

I briefly used after effects earlier today and now bridge is opening all .jpg in after effects rather than photoshop. Photoshop is set as the defult and I've tried resetting preferences etc but it continues to open in after effects having to right click and opening with on every image! How can I change this back to using photoshop?

The folder view is as normal but as you can see below at the very top of bridge rather then just having the directory name it now says "Opening in Adobe After Effects..

Hallo, i have a problem with the intallation about after effects. I have a mac 10.6.8 and they told me I can't installete it because i don't have a system with 64 bit. how can i do? someone told me i can .. but i don't know how. thank you

hallo, i have a problem with the intallation about after effects. I have a mac 10.6.8 and they told me I can't installete it because i don't have a system with 64 bit. how can i do? someone told me i can .. but i don't know how. thank you

You cannot. If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you. After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

Hi,
I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
thanks
Paul

Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.
> cause this compressor doesn't like images
What is that based on?

This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.

Render problems and fed up with after effects

Hi all,
I'm I the middle of trying to do a very simple pan and scan corporate video, the crux being its in stereoscopic 3D. First I've tried using cineform plug ins and have had numerous problems and basically don't think highly of their product. Since after effects has plug ins for stereoscopic I've moved to try and use them. All seems to be going alright for most of the footage. But I'm have some issues with a very import pant part of one video.
My set up
Mac 2x2.4 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
12GB of ram
Mac OSX 10.7.2
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
NVIDEA Quadro 4000 2048MB
After Effects CS5.5 (10.5.0.253)
630GB free on 1TB boot drive
1.8TB free on 3TB external drive 1
100GB free on 3TB external drive 2
My comp is 7 layers. Duration 1:46:00 output is Side by Side
Layer 1- animation with alpha clip. Opacity is keyframed to do a 'dissolve' at the beginning and end of the clip. TC in 53:11, out 1:05:01
Layer 2- comp. stereoscopic 3D. Made from using a camera and Create Stereo 3D Rig. It's a mask of the earth in space. 1:46:00
Layer 3- animation with alpha clip. Opactiy keyframed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp. TC in 1:25:09, out 1:45:10.
Layer 4- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 1:03:2,' out 1:16:10.
Layer 5- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 31:12, out 48:11.
Layer 6- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 6:06, out 21:14.
Layer 7- animation codec clip. 1:46:00 duration.
Now when I attempt to render this out to a ProRes 422 file so that I can join it up with the other footage in Primeire Pro, I basically sit around for 2 hours and then I get a nice little dialog box stating "an output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464).
This is maddening to say the least.
Other issues
After Effects basically is Pathetically slow in rendering out a ProRes or Animation or any type of mov file. A simple 30sec clip takes 1 hour 47 minutes. All the clip contains is a tiff left eye and right eye and the 3D glasses plug in. That's it. I know my system isn't the biggest out there (I bought what I could afford). But these render times are ludicrous. If I turn of the multiprocessing it doesn't help. I have the openGL turned on. That doesn't seems to do anything. I have it set up to use 10Gb of ram, yet the system says I'm only using 37% of my ram, none of my processors and I have no idea about the graphics card. Am I totally missing something about how after effects actually does rendering? I'm from the old school of Jaleo and Shake and Nuke. However I set out on my own as a freelancer and I can't really afford Nuke (besides I don't like that it doesn't have a timeline). So I purchased Adobe production premium thinking it can do the job I want, however it seems to act like a spoilt brat software. Yes im ranting had really having thoughts of buyers remorse.
If anyone out there has any advice or thoughts on how to get this to work I'd be more than grateful to hear from you.
Cheers
James

That doesn't seems to do anything. I have it set up to use 10Gb of ram, yet the system says I'm only using 37% of my ram,
AE only takes what it needs, as do any programs with dynamically managed memory. It's not cramming everything into RAM when it doesn't have to.
none of my processors
Secondary processors/ cores will only be used, if you enable the sad excuse that is the "Render multiple Frames simultanuously" feature. As Todd suggested, read that article on "optimum" settings. Just keep in mind that what works well for one project may not work at all for the next one when the balance of footage I/O vs. pixel processing vs. memory consumption changes. You're gonna learn to really hate this...
I have no idea about the graphics card
AE doesn't use it for the most part. Even if you enable all of the hardware acceleration features, AE may turn them off behind your back, one such condition being the use of MP rendering. Can't have both. Conversely, MP rendering might be turned off just the same, if specific effects or features are used. That's also expleianed in teh help. Your only chance of halfway benefiting from hardware acceleration is buying some third-party plug-ins that have their own implementations of OpenGL and CUDA. Still, since you use two different cards i nyour system, that may also be problematic...

Problem installing trial version of After Effects CS4

Hi,
I'm trying to install the trial version of After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 32-bit Operating System, Processor 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB.
At the initializing stage it gets to 90% on the 'Checking System Profile...' dialog box, something flashes and then it freezes.
I've downloaded it a second time in case of corruption.
I've rebooted several times and retried it with no other applications running.
I've run updates on any existing adobe products I have.
Any ideas? I've never had problems installing adobe products before.
Thanks.

Not your fault, known issue.
a) Download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and install it
b) Download the CS4 Cleanup Utility from Adobe's support pages
c) Run the CS4 Cleanup, electing to remove all debris from your failed install
d) Manually uninstall all instances of Adobe AIR products (Acrobat.com, Adobe Media Palyer) using Add or Remove Programs
e) Launch the Microsoft Installer Cleanup and look for instances of Adobe Installer 2.0. Have them removed. Optionally, have it remove other Adobe stuff that may have been left over from CS4.
f) Try to install CS4
Note: The cleanup utilities will not remove anything physically, only clean out the installer, so they pose no danger to your system. You will only lose the ability to uninstall those programs from Add or Remove Programs.

Problem importing XDCAM-EX IN After Effects CC or Premiere Pro

We have recently installed CC in our labs, and now we can't import XDCAM-EX, using the media browser neither in Premiere Pro nor in After effects.
We get "Usupported format or damaged file" error
I have made all the last upgrades, but still getting the problem.
The AE version is: 12.1.0.168
PP version is 7.1.0 (141)
I have a machine where kept the CS6 installation, in this machine in CS6 everithing works OK , in the same machine CC gives the error.
All the labs where freshly installed Windows 7 (no upgrades or reminecnts of old programs or codecs)
The file structure of the memory card hasn't been touched and with programs like SONY XDCAM Clip Browser, the clip looks fine and with no errors.

I seems that the problem is with the Premiere Pro CC update (7.1.0)
This is what i have done to solve the problem:
Using the Creative Cloud packager I prepared a new build containing only Premiere Pro CC with no updates, only the basic application.
I ran the new msi on top of the Creative cloud installation (without previosly removing any program) and now Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Prelude CC ingest/import the XDCAM-ex files correctly
Now I have to do this in the 65 machines of the labs...

Problem with cue point from After Effects to Flash (CS5.5)

Hello,
anyone has, or has not problems reading, in Falsh, cue points included with After Effects? (Navigartion cue points).
It is possible export from Flash movie in .flv format? (Both versione CS5.5).
Thank you.

No I don't believe it's the footage, as I've been able to transfer the same files on my school computer and use it with ease.It's just any type of footage, if I attempt to drag any of my imported files (whether they're images of any kind or .mp4, .mov, .wav, .mp3) just as I would click and hold the file, my cursor turns into the Mac loading ball. Perhaps is there something these programs require such as Java? I'm not sure if it's related, but I've also not been able to play some games via Steam that I have been able to play in the past with the same system.

Opening a really old After Effects Project

I had some work come through where I needed to revisit some AE v5.5 projects. But CS5.5 or CS5 wouldn't open them. I had to reinstall my AE v7.0 to open them. Then I used CS5.5 to open the AE 7.0 project. (And I would have been screwed if I was using Lion because there's no Rosetta to run AE 7).
I vaguely remember a chart showing what versions can open up what. I'm assuming this is a 64-bit issue?

I've never seen a chart, but each version of the Help document says what can open what.
Here are the relevant notes from After Effects CS5 and CS5.5 Help:
Note: After Effects CS5 can open and import After Effects projects created by After Effects 6.0 and later.
Note: After Effects CS5.5 can open and import After Effects projects created by After Effects 6.5 and later.
> I'm assuming this is a 64-bit issue?
It's a development and testing issue. If we say that something works, we test the bejeezus out of it. If we attempted to keep project import back to After Effects 1.0 projects, we'd have to spend a lot of testing time (and some development time) on that, and that would keep us from developing and testing new features. And we know that the rare cases in which people do need to open very old projects can be dealt with by the workaround that you used.

Unistall any ACR Betas on your system you may have used. Also simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall everything Adobe.
