Quicktime 7.6.6 disables Adobe After Effects 6.5

Hey all,
I recently upgraded my iTunes to version 9.x and it simultaneously upgraded my Quicktime to version 7.6.6. No big deal, except now when I try to run an old copy of After Effects I have (After Effects 6.5), I get an error message "Sorry, After Effects can't continue" with error code 00::42.
When I roll back my quicktime to 7.5.5, After Effects runs fine. Where is this error coming from, and when do you (Apple) plan to fix it because my OS 4 iPod Touch is worthless without the new iTunes which won't run on QT 7.5.5?
Thanks,
Vinny

hello Jeff and Colin,
thanks for commenting...
would you have any information on the fact that:
"""maybe it's the quick time that's been killing me all along
because (i just remembered this) when i use ccleaner the error logs
are always regarding qt32 stuff?""""
i am away from my desktop station until august 11 so i can't get you actual log files,
but i'm pretty sure what was happening was that PPRO would hang on editing when applying effect (including NEAT VIDEO
(which i know needs a lot of juice)
and then i would kill the process, or i would close PPRO and it wouldn't close in TaskManager,
the funny thing is is that after i'd kill the process and reopen PPRO, the effect would be 'rendered' on the timeline
(even the NEATVIDEO)...
however, it wasn't until being bored that i was really reading everything that CCLEANER was cleaning.
i have it set to clear out the error log files and lo and behold most of the log files were regarding QT32 stuff...
this is why i investigating everything i can about QuicTime's interaction with CS5 5.03...
thanks again for helping,
j
perhaps it's the effects that are crashing QT32???

Quicktime compatibility issue with Adobe After Effects

Hi,
When opening Adobe After Effects CC, a warning pops up: " Quicktime is not installed on this system, some components will not work correctly. "
But an older (trial) version of CS6 is also running on the same system...
2013 Mac Pro
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.9.4
...and it exports QT correctly! I have installed both: Quicktime Player 7 Pro (7.6.6) and Quicktime Player 10.3. Firewall is disabled and I don't use other Quicktime components.
I found several threads on this topic like: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-wit h-after-effects.html
and...
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktim e-files-in-after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quick time-component.html
... But none of the above proposed solutions seem to work. That's why I am trying my luck here.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, the issue is supposed to be resolved by following these instructions: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/06/permissions-mac-os-start-adobe-appli cations.html
The blogpost describes exactly what is going on with After Effects CC.
It says: "Set the entire Adobe preferences folder and its contents to be read/write, not just read-only."
However this folder:
Mac OS: [drive]/Users/[user_name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/
...seems to be in a different spot on my mac;
Mac OS: [drive]/Library/Preferences/
Or is it the wrong folder? It contains many .plist files amongst which com.adobe... preferences, so I am guessing it's the right one. There is no Library folder in the Users/[user_name] folder anyway.
But changing the "read only" into "read/write" doesn't seem to get me anywhere. Having done so, the same notification remains: "Quicktime is not installed on this system..."
Just a direction; no solution yet. Or am I missing something?

Adobe After Effects CS6 not loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.pr and ImporterQuickTimeHost.pr

Hi,
Adobe After Effects CS6 not loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.pr and ImporterQuickTimeHost.pr.
We have tried disabling the windows firewall and turning off our Antivirus but it makes no difference.
The program launches with the quicktime plug-inns perfectly when ran as local administrator but will not work as any other user.
Other users do not have local admin rights, only write access to their profile path and the C:/temp folder.
Any help and assitance would be appreciated.
Is there a directory that the users need access to on the C drive?
Many Thanks
Botch

Hi,
I have updated to 11.0.4 and the issue still persists.
Could someone please advise.
Much appreciated

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

Adobe after effects not responding, ever!

I have been having this issue for a long time and cant seem to find a solution, maybe I am wording it wrong, i dont know. It worked just fine for about a year, but now basically every single time I open adobe after effects cs5 it works for about 1-2 minutes and then freezes, the typical "this program is not responding" message shows up with no error code. it doesnt matter what I do or what I click on, it happens every single time! Its really frusterating! my computer has 32 gb, I'm sure that is plenty of RAM. I have done all the updates on the adobe website (including the quicktime updates) I saw OpenGL mentioned many times but I cant seem to find anything like that on my computer so I dont know if that is a problem or not. I noticed on the sytem requirements list (I have a windows 7 professional) they said that the processor must be Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® and my computer has intel (R) Xeon(R) cpu 5160 @ 3.00GHZ 3.00 ghz (2 processors) I honestly have no idea if that would be a problem. If anyone else has had this issue I would love to hear how you fixed it, I have tried so many things chances are I already tried it but still.

okay sorry it took so long, this is my dads old computer so I had to keep calling him haha. so I literally anwered everything, I really want to find a solution!
1) adobe after effects cs5 with the 10.0.2 update
2) on the adobe website it looks like this is the most recent update for cs5 on windows
3) windows 7 professional 64 bit opetrating system
4) intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU, 2 processors, 32 GB of ram, NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800, 2 disk drives, no external drives
5) NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800
I couldnt seem to find anything about CUDA , I googled it but couldnt find anything to tell me how to find out this info, if you know please let me know
6) nvidia quadro fx 5800
7) source footage is microsoft video AVI, with quicktime
8) it was just the typical "this program is not responding, please wait for the program to respond" I let it run a couple times to see if it ever responded but it never did. but the last couple of times I opened AE it just freezes and no message shows up.
9) it doesnt matter what I do, even if I just open it and let it sit there it still freezes up.
10) it worked for about a year, I dont beleive anything major has changed on my computer, but I have been stuggling with this problem so long I wouldnt be able to remember anyways.
11) yes quicktime is installed and updated, it is version 7.7.4
12) I usually dont have anything else running other than AE
13) I asked my dad about this and he said he didnt think so so I assume that means no.
14) yes I have openGL enabled
15) within the first two minutes of opening AE doesnt matter if I am editing, ram previewing, or nothing.
16) I have tried checking and unchecking the "render multiple frames simultaneously multiprocessing" and the problem occurs either way, but right now I am using it.
17) no use of ray traced 3d rendering
18) not an out put problem
19) exact sequence of steps? well... I click on adobe after effects, it opens kinda slower than it used to, then I usually will his ram preview because then I can see when it stops exactly, but I also have tried opening it and just looked at settings or preferences or what not and it would freeze then, or I will click on a diffrent compositions and it would freeze. pretty much whatever steps I take it always happens.

Adobe After Effects Crash! Help! SOS!

hello, thanx for reading this question. id like to come to the point, i have just installed adobe after effects cs3 pro v8.0.0 on my pc and its working fine, until yesterday when i tried to import a video file which is in .avi format. i can tell you surely that i did nothing of consequence to the working of the program before i tried importing it! but when i double clicked the file i wanted to import, adobe after effects crashes and gives me one more chance at saving the project i was working on before freezing. i had to click close and end now to shut the program down. everything else works fine on the program except when i try to import a video file! ive heard people saying that you need to delete or reset your preferences and that would solve your problem but if that is the solution, how do i do it, and if it isn't the solution what do i do? thanx a lot for reading this question and hope u reply to it with a solution! thanks, ciao!

First, make sure you run the Adobe Updater to install any software updates. Then, try transcoding your .avi into a different format/codec. The .avi could be using one of a variety of problematic codecs. To transcode it, use Quicktime Pro, or a variety of other transcoding options (google for various software that will do this for you).

Adobe After Effects CC not converting all files from templates

Hello, I recently purchased Adobe After Effects CC, and i've been using Videoblocks.com for some After Effects templates. I've used them before on a different computer running AE CS6, and they work perfectly fine. However on my computer, it does not convert the files in order to be compatible with the CC Version, like this:
And when the project is opened, it appears like this:
As if the files never fully converted over, however some do? Any explanation on how I could fix this from not happening? Would greatly appreciate it.

Hey Mylenium, I reinstalled Quicktime and the problem still seems to be there. I'm not really certain what other Third-Party CoDec I should install/reinstall. It doesn't seem to retrieve some JPEG and PSD files, which I have Photoshop installed as well, so I don't exactly know what I should do.
I'm kind of new with the Creative Cloud, so apologies in advance, haha.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved. If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

Hi Rick and Greg,
Thanks for the quick responses. Below are all the details to all your questions. Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast. It is not the rendering. It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
FREE MEMORY:
This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
3RD-PARTY CODECS:
I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system. I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
DISC CACHE:
My Disc Cache is enabled
My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
MPEG SOURCE FILES:
If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
MULTIPROCESSING
Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
Here are some additional observations that might help:
It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process. The problem is NOT with the rendering. The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
Thanks again for all your helpful responses!

After installing Adobe After Effects CC the web browser crashes

Hi,
I don't know where to turn with this so I'm trying as many possibilities as I can think of:
I installed After Effects CC on my PC. I then noticed that a web page that I created incorporating a virtual tour stopped functioning properly. It doesn't matter which computer I access it from. I haven't done anything to this web page but it has just stopped working properly after I installed After Effects CC. If I use Chrome a Shockwave Flash has Crashed message appears:
I've tried creating a similar page but the same problem occurs:
I've checked Chrome using the phrase about:plugins and tried disabling one of the two Adobe Flash Player plugins to no effect
I've contacted my internet service provider and they have assured me the problem is not connected to using their service
I have contacted the company which provided the virtual tour software and sent them a copy of the file that I included in the web page. There has never been any problem with the web page before
I also tried uninstalling and downloading a more up to date version of the Panotour Tourweaver software but still the same problem occurs.
I've tried recreating the page but the browser (IE, Firefox and Chrome) crashes on whichever computer I'm accessing the webpage from
So I wondered if the problem is connected the creative cloud?
No matter what computer I use the browser crashes when I click on a button within the webpage (which normally opens another webpage that I created). I haven't touched any of this and it has always worked perfectly. The only thing I've done recently is to download the Adobe After Effects CC app and then the problem occurred.
Any constructive advice would be appreciated, thanks

Update - I've now tested this with different internet connections, different computers and different operating systems. I've also just received a response from my internet service provider who said:
"I've tested in Firefox, and it looks as if the buttons are crashing the browsers' flash plugin. This being the case, it is not going to be anything related to your computer, the internet connection, or the web server.
In all likelihood, it will be an issue with how the flash tour is coded, which I presume is created automatically by the Tourweaver package you mention. You will need to pursue their support for advice on this problem as it is something with the flash file)s( which isn't working correctly."
So, hopefully Easypano support will be able to fix the problem. Obviously no connection at all with Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects CS 5 and CS 5.5 Freezes (Initializing MediaCore)

For about 3 days now my adobe after effects cs5 and cs5.5 freezes with "Initializing MediaCore".
I tried reinstalling, changing a bunch of things, disabling my firewall, etc.
Before it was not freezing at all, but I think the problem is because I have too much fonts, could it be the problem ? I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
Please help me,
Maxime.

I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
RLY? That's bordering on being certifiable for the asylum! Even print people never use that many. Sure, it could be a huge part of the problem - there may be damaged/ "bad" fonts among them or the sheer number could consume tons of memory. Really, get rid of 99% of them. Not only is it a hinderance in your work, but just using insane numbers of typefaces doesn't compensate for any typographic deficiencies. How many fonts do you intend on using, after all? Other than that MediaCore issues could point to corruptred media caches, so flush them. also check your CoDec setup. If you have installed some equally unnecessary CoDec packs as you have done with fonts, get rid of them...

Don't do that. The After Effects CC (12.0.1) patch was only a temporary solution before After Effects CC (12.1) was released:

That is telling you that whoever deployed your Adobe software as part of an enterprise software license agreement chose to disable updates. You'll need to talk with your IT people who set up and deployed your Adobe software to reverse this decision.

Adobe After Effects CC Doesn't recognize Alpha Key for imported DNxHD (.mov) clips

After Upgrading To Adobe CC, we faced a problem when we try to import our HD assets (Quicktime .mov Codec: DnxHD 1080i 120). they are imported as one layer.. there NO Alpha key.
These Clips dont have such problem when we import them into Adobe After Effects CS6.
Please Adobe, we need a fast solution. this is urgent.
Note that we tried to download the last version of AVIDCodecLE package with no result!
thanks for any idea.

ADOBE - THIS IS ABSURD - FIX THE DAMN BUG
Our studio waited until now to update - what a huge mistake, waste of money, waste of time. Fortunately, older versions still run fine on the systems we "upgraded".
We have years of assets that no longer work correctly in CC or CC14. We are a major production studio with literally thousands of assets that exist in a multi million dollar ISIS system. CC and CC2014 are worthless until this gets fixed. I'm sitting here looking like a amateur because nothing works. THANKS GUYS! - No, we're NOT going to go back and "re-render" all of those assets. We will just continue to use the no monthly fee Cs6, forever.
We will not be renewing any of our "contracts" until this bug is fixed (about 30 licenses). Back to CS6.

Trial version load file error: ... created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe After Effects 6.0 last night and worked on a project for quite some time. This morning, when I tried to open the project, it gave me: After Effects Error: this file was created with a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application.
The message is annoying. This means that if anyone send me an After Effects File from future versions, I cannot load them. Even Microsoft has converters for backwards compatibility
It is costing me time to evaluate the product, and lowering my opinion of it since it obviously has bugs

Ah, I see. So you are using 6.0, not CS6? Yes, in that case things are just as they are - AE is not forward compatible. Only CS5.5 and CS6 allow to save one version back (that is CS5 and CS5.5, respectively), but beyond that AE never offered this feature. anyway, AE 6.0 is hopelessly outdated. It doesn't even work on contemporary operating systems nor does it work properly with current versions of Quicktime and just the same it doesn't support any modern media formats, so that's like trying to fly to the moon with a WW I. airplane... and to make matters worse - AE 6.0 was one of the most bug-ridden versions of the program in the first place.
