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?

  • Issue with Adobe After Effects in windows 8.1

    This version is 11.0.0.378, when adding element the title bar will flash then all file menus will flash off and on

    First, install the updates. You are four big bug-fix updates behind:

    Also, make sure that you have the latest driver for your graphics card.
    If this doesn't fix the problem, then we need much more information to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

  • Any experience with Adobe After Effects?

    Has anyone experience with Adobe After Effects and FCE. Does it work together?
    WA

    They will work together. There is no export to or send to function or no XML function to go to AE but the media will work in AE and the finished product can be brought into FCE.

  • Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use?

    Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use? 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' installs its documentation in the plug-in’s subfolder in the Plug-ins folder.
    I cannot locate anywhere on the Adobe site which specifies that this plug-in is free to use for educational institutions.
    Can anyone assist please?

    Yes, it's free and inclusive with every AE install.

  • Issue with Installing After Effects CC

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe After Effects CC. As soon as i install, i get the following message:
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last Logged message was: <3940> <GPU Manager> <2> Sniffer Result Code:3
    I have an i5 4440, 8 GM Ram, NVIDIA NVS 315 Graphics Card and running on Windows 7 Professional (without SP1).
    What can be the issue? After Effects CS6 is working fine along with Premier CC & Audition CC Edition. The graphics card drivers are uptodate.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    KapSin

    Hi Mylenium,
    Many thanks for the quick revert.
    So whilst i would try and get a new GPU soon, could you suggest how can i
    get around in the meanwhile? Have already tried the older version of the
    driver but it isn't helping.
    Also, I am assuming that working on the Windows 7 Professional Edition
    (without Service Pack 1) will not have any impact on the installation? Cos
    all the CC system requirements say windows 7 service pack 1, however
    everything else is working fine except AE.
    Many thanks.

  • Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

    Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
    I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
    I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

    That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
    • Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
    R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
    It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
    • Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
    R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
    • Use After Effects CS6 in English
    R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
    • Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
    R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
    I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

  • Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

    I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro...  Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
    Thanks

    You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE.  Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier.  Without Motion, you can't do custom templates.  You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor.  Why would you want to remove them from your system?  Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them.  But I'd learn Motion first.  Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
    And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

  • Setting AEP Documents to Open by Default with Adobe After Effects CC NOT Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on a Mac

    I have installed some of the CC 2014 products for testing. Until the rest my department moves from CC to CC 2014 I need to open and create new projects in CC as the CC 2014 AEP's won't open in other versions.
    The issue is when I try to change the file association, in the Get Info inspector, from "Adobe After Effects CC.app" to "Adobe After Effects CC 2014.app" and hit "Change All" it always reverts back to CC 2014. I have tried this as an administrator and even when logged in as administrator. It is like Creative Cloud overrides it. You can do one at a time but you cannot set the default.
    I would like to "roll back" my file associations for AE and PS to CC but I don't want to uninstall the 2014 versions if possible as I have already install many plug-ins, license keys, scripts, etc. and everything is working fine within the apps. Is it possible?
    Thanks for any help.

    Its because of my graphics card.
    That makes no sense at all. CC 2014 is available in the Creative Cloud App. Just download it. The system requirements for both are the same. IF CC runs, CC 2014 will.

  • How compatible is Motion 5 with Adobe After Effects CS5.5?

    If I create a project in Motion 5, am I able to export this project so that it is natively importable into Adobe After Effects CS5.5? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    The two will not read each other's project files.  You could try an XML export, and import that into AE.  Audomatic Duck makes translators for this type of stuff.

  • First video with Adobe After Effects

    Hey folks! First time posting and first video with this program. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD8GS_Mum9Y
    Please tell me how it coul be imroved, suggestions, etc. I am very interested in learning this as I see it can be very usefull in the future for me.
    Thanks.

    NIce work. Particularly liked the use of the music.
    A couple of books that might be useful are:
    "The DV Rebels Guide" by Stu Maschwitz. Also a good site which is used by readers of that book is 'The Rebel Cafe".  A lot of talk about  After Effects. over there - the site (and book) covers loads of other areas and advice about filmaking on a budget.
    and
    "Editing Techniques with Final CUt Pro".  by Micheal Wohl.  -        I mention this because half of it is about Film Grammar - ie Film School Stuff - How to edit your film to make it more interesting.  It is excellent on all that area and I found it very thorogh and informative. But there may be other books out there which are good on editing.  BUt I think that the first part of it  about film editing is relevant to every film maker. You dont need to use Final Cut to learn the art side of editing in this book.
    I was also recommended  - "Developing digital short films" by Sherri Sheridan - but i hav'nt read it yet.
    Have you visited MDOT Strange's Film School on You Tube? He has some good suggestions for what to read to learn, and he gives some good advice. (And he has turned down a hollywood deal for one of his filmsl!!)
    Best wishes

    You need to buy the plug-ins you are using. This is a demo mode spoiler from some third-party plug-in.
