Problems reinstalling after effects

so I got adobe cs3 master edition..
anyway, every program installed fine at first.. but here's the thing..
I had adobe after effects 7.0.. and a whole lot of plugins and presets.. and I tried to put the plugins and presets into adobe after effects cs3.. but I did a really bad job copying and pasting.. which totally killed the program. So.. I tried reinstalling it. It worked fine, but then got stuck on "repairing shared components".
so, I tried completely uninstalling it and then installing it again, and the same thing happens.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
some other things (don't know if they matter):
I have a vista laptop
I have plenty of memory left (like 88 gb)
I've waited about half an hour for it to finish "repairing shared components".. maybe it takes longer?

I have no clue what you did. It saddens me to say this, but the "Repair" function in the installer is useless, so most likely it has completely messed up everything. Therefore uninstall again and use the CS3 clean scripts before attempting a new install. Copying presets is ill-advised except for the ones you created yourself. Others from AE7 may not function at all in CS3, so there's no point in overwriting the ones the CS3 installer puts in place. As for your plugins - depending on what they are, a proper re-install of them may be required. Some plugins and plugin suites install additional files and store their paths in configuration files or the registry, so they may refuse to work without them.

  • I'm having problems reinstalling After Effects. It says it is Up to date?

    The Creative Cloud Manager won't let me reinstall the AE software. It would only let me update even though the original software was deleted a while ago. Now it says up to date but there is no sign of AE CC

  • Problems with After Effects CC & OSX Mavericks AFTER installing 12.01 Patch

    Ok, let me give the details. Everything working perfectly previously. Update to OSX Mavericks this morning, (had read about the issues), predictably After Effects wouldn't open. I then applied the 12.01 patch as directed by Adobe. I now get this error message, and After Effects won't open. It attempts to, gets to this same spot, then crashes.
    I want to re-iterate that my whole rig was working fine until this so it is definitely related to this update. I have already tried reinstalling patch, resttarting computer, and updating Cuda driver. I have too many plugins, pressets, and scripts to just willy nilly reinstall After Effects as a "let's see if that works". I am on my work computer and need After Effects to work.
    Info on system:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010 Worksatation
    OSX 10.9 (now, updated this morning)

    I disabled my firewall, but still got this error Not sure what it means at all, also not sure how to configure the firewall to not block dynamiclink. I am using Handsoff on Mac and All adobe connection requests and all dynamiclink requests are allowed so I don't know what else to know, although it seems to not be the whole problem. Might not even be the real problem as now I have this new error

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Reinstalling After Effects Problems?

    I uninstalled After Effects, then, I wanted to reinstall it for some issues. My creative cloud then says though that I already have it. What do I do?

    Search for the Adobe Cleaner application (not sure of its precise location), run it and start all over again.  Make sure you have your subscription info.

  • Problems with After Effects/Premiere CS3 in Vista

    I have read through a bundle of solutions to this problem and haven't found anything that has worked yet. I ran After Effects and Premiere Pro on Vista up until two days ago when it refused to open. When I try to open Premiere, it gives the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attemp to save your current project." When I tryo to open After Effects, the firts try does nothing. The second attempt will open After Effects, but all interfaces are missing and all the dropdown menus are grayed out. When I close it, it says After Effects has crashed, contact support, error 0:42. I have uninstalled/deactivated and reinstalled, run codec sniper, removed xmi preference settings and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Did you run the CS3 Clean Script? If not, please do so before attempting any reinstalls. More info on such stuff here and here.

  • Problems Starting After Effects!!!

    Hi guys,
    I've installed AE and put the serial in on my MAC, and when I start up AE I continue to get the following message: After Effects error: Crashed while initializing PDFL. This might be caused by a bad font installed on your system. I've checked all my fonts and have removed any bad fonts. I have even uninstalled AE have reinstalled done the AE update to 9.2 and still get the same error. Is there any solution for this?
    The Last Logged Message reads as follows:

  • Problem with After Effects and Yosemite

    I have CS5 and I have installed OS X Yosemite and now using the eyedropper in Keylight (1.2) makes After Effects crash and with Ultra Key in Premiere Pro, the eyedropper just don’t work.  I have removed and reinstalled both programmes and it didn’t help. I also failed to update the programs after installation. Anyone who knows something about this?

    Thanks for all the great response!
    My graphics card has 512 MB of vram. with 200 mb allocated to After Effects (it was the default, can it be safely increased?)
    I'm running 2560 x 1024 (two 19 inch monitors in horizontal span mode). but deactivating a screen and restarting doesn't make a difference (1280x1024).
    as for visual styles, I only had the default windows xp theme, but switching the the classic windows 2000/98 look didn't make a difference, even after rebooting.
    I'll contact technical support right away! But any suggestions anyone might have are still much appreciated!
    Once again thanks for the replies!
    Christopher OShea
    EDIT: forgot to add, about video drivers, I'm using the latest yes. I've also tried the one just before the latest. And I'll have till tommorow with technical support since they're closed now, bummer ):
    Another edit: heres something interesting, I turned hardware acceleration in display settings off completely. This fixed the problem.
    The only problem is, now I have no hardware acceleration at all, giving me close to no performance at all in pretty much anything. Obviously After Effects doesn't run well like this.
    But at least this makes it almost certain that the problem is related to the graphics card.

  • Problem updating After Effects CC

    Everytime I try to download the latest update of After Effects CC.  It keeps coming up with an error.
    What is the best way to solve the problem?

    You have not provided any system information or other technical info like the exact error code, so nobody can know. Chances are you need to run the cleaner tool and reinstall from scratch.
