QuickTime with After Effects 13.1

Hi, i am running After Effects CC 13.1, on windows 7 Ultimate.
Up until few days ago no problem occured, until last night when i got this beautifull sucker. Nothing was installed or updated that could interfere with Quick Time
“file ‘[file name].mov’ cannot be imported – this ‘MooV’ file is damaged or unsupported."

Is there any reason you haven't updated to the latest version of AE (13.2.0.49)?
What version of QuickTime do you have installed?
Have you installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7?

  • Updated document about QuickTime errors with After Effects (re: H.264 and hyperthreading)

    I just updated "troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, and CS6" with information about hyperthreading and Apple's H.264 encoder.
    The gist is that Apple's H.264 exporter component for QuickTime fails when the computer has a large number of CPUs.

    No, this applies to any QuickTime H.264 export. You can export H.264 in a QuickTime .mov wrapper out of AME, too, and it will have this problem.
    The various H.264 encoding presets (for YouTube, Blu-ray, Vimeo, iPad, etc.) don't use the H.264 QuickTime component, so this isn't relevant to them.
    This problem is just relevant to choosing Apple's H.264 as the video codec when choosing QuickTime as a format. This applies to all software that uses QuickTime, by the way, not just Adobe software.

  • Working with after effects in photoshop?

    I want to edit some contents of the after effects of videos like clearning up skin or removing objects in photoshop from after effects  - how would this get done? both ar cs5 and both ar 64bit

    If you want to work on the frames of a movie in Photoshop, you have a few options. One is to render and export a composition from After Effects as an image sequence, and work on the frames as individual images in Photoshop. Another approach is tor ender and export the composition as a QuickTime movie and then import tha into Photoshop; this requires Photoshop Extended.
    These options are covered in a bit more detail in "Working with After Effects and Photoshop".

  • 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.

  • Quicktime errors after effects cc2014

    i've been getting quicktime errors in after effects cc14, windows 8.1, update 1. when importing a quicktime file that opens and plays in vlc, and quicktime player, i'm getting the error "After Effects error: file 'xxx.mov" cannot be imported this .mov file is damaged or unsupported. i've uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled to no avail.

    Does AE CC work? (I mean, you're using version 13. Does version 12 work?)
    Have you tried the suggestions here: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications and here: troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects ?

  • Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

    My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
    Any help will be appreciated!
    k.regards
    Ramon

    Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
    Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
    k.regards

  • Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

    Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

    You haven't given us much to go on here.  What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try?  Which specific version of each program are you using?  (Go to Help>About...)
    On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed.  Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine.  You don't need the full question there.

  • Issues with replacing clip in Premiere with After Effects composition

    So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
    but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
    two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
    in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
    now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
    EXCEPT
    my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
    any ideas?

    Copy that! Thanks for the help as it is!
    I'll likely have to do as you suggested in the interest of my turnaround but if anyone else out there has any suggestions for my original question of utilizing the dynamic link between PP and AE without the issue mentioned I'd be super stoked!

  • Best laptop for working with after effects

    I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
    Thanks.

    4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
    For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
    In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.

  • Dynamic Link/ Replace with After Effects Composition between Premiere Pro CC to After Effects CC won't work. Says "importer reported a generic error"

    Trying to use the "Replace with After Effects Composition" to use Warp Stabilizer on a clip and transfer it back into Premiere Pro CC. The action is not  "grayed out" it allows me to click it and it opens up After Effects, then asks to open a new composition, but it doesn't open up the clip for me to work on it.
    Also is the Dynamic Link and Replace with After Effects Composition the same thing?
    Ive watched several tutorials and read threads but I still don't understand who to fix my problem.
    I have both CC versions of PP and AE, if that makes any difference.

    You have not provided any system information, no details about your sequence settings, your footage and whatnot. Nobody can even guess what may be going on.

  • PP CS6 to AE CC 2014 (Replace with After Effects Composition)?

    Hey guys, been a CS6 user for a little while now and don't require the complete CC subscription but really like working with AE. So I subscribed to Single App membership CC AE 2014. I launch PP CS6 chop some clips and send them to AE via Replace with After Effects Composition and in turn this dialog pops up stating "The importer reported a generic error" and them are the brakes. I uninstalled AE CS6 because when replacing a clip with a AE Comp AE CS6 launches. Are these two programmes not talking to each other? Like crippled. 

    Hey thanks cc_merchant, that doesn't come as a surprise to me, I guess I'm just a little disappointed by this on two levels, one this not having been mentioned or it is mentioned but well hidden and secondly that it's purposely crippled. That's business. 

  • About the crash on quit with After Effects CS4 on Mac OS...

    This post on Jeff Almasol's blog gives some information about an issue with ScriptUI scripts that can cause After Effects CS4 on Mac OS to crash when you quit the application:
    about the crash on quit with After Effects CS4 on Mac OS...
    Trish and Chris Meyer recommend a couple of workarounds on the
    ProVideo Coalition website.

    I want to maximize the use of the render farm and not just limit it to AE, I want to be able to render in multiple creative applications. Deadline looks good except as of today its Windows/Linux only: http://www.franticfilms.com/software/products/deadline/feature_set/
    I want to throw in Final Cut Studio into the Mix along with Modo, Houdini, C4D and other applications, but strictly on Mac OS X.

  • "replace with after effect comp" problem

    I started my project in Prelude where I mad subclips.  I then imported those subclips to premiere to edit my story.  Some of those subclips I would like to key or do other effects with in after effects, but I when I click on those clips and choose replace with after effects composition the clip that is opened in after effects does not have the same in and out points as the one in the premiere timeline.  it is from the same clip and is the same duration but it just always starts at the beginning of the master clip.  Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a better way to go about this?

    Sorry, but something is definitely wrong with your workflow but not with the above.
    When you select a clip or a group of clips in PrPro timeline and then choose 'Replace With After Effects Composition', AE creates and automatically opens a brand new composition, in which number of layers and their In and Out points correspond to a number of clips replaced with AE composition and their In and Out points in the PrPro Timeline accordingly (i.e. layers in that AE composition are appropriately trimmed and distributed in time).
    See another one image, if you didn't notice that in the previous one the layer was trimmed:
    So, the question is, what do you do to achieve what you see in AE, since you shouldn't do any extra steps to get correct result, 'cos AE opens that newly created composition automatically? Do you jump back to AE Project pan in an attempt to create a composition out of imported assets once again?

  • Using Windows Server 2008 with After Effects as Render Slave?

    Hi guys,
         We have a fair number of servers that run Windows Server 2008 64bit.  We wanted to further utilize these boxes and wanted to know if it's possible to use them as render slaves with After Effects?  Anybody doing this?  We couldn't find anything for system requirements on Windows Server 2008.
    Thanks for everyone's input.
    Jason

    Hi Todd,
         Another question for ya.  Does it matter if we have some machines still running 32-bit render slaves for after effects and implement a master 64-bit CS5 after effects Master?  Can you mix it up OR do all the machines have to be upgraded to the same version, eeven though they are just render slaves?  We are just doing some thinking on reconfiguration and what to do so it's right the first time.
    Thanks for the input.
