Time-reversing any layer causes After Effects CC to crash

Whenever I time-reverse a layer - the program window simply fades into white and stops responding. Then, whatever I click - it crashes immediately. The error code is simple AppCrash.
I run a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64, 1GB Nvidia Graphics card, 2.16 GHz dual-core Intel processor and a bit less than 4 GB RAM.
Please suggest a fix for this ASAP.
Using CC 12.1.

Please suggest a fix for this ASAP.
Unlikely. You have not told us anything about your comp settings, footage used, Fast Preview setting etc..

Extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects

How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
Here is the process.
I create BunchaLayers.psd.
Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
Here I am lost.
I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
I can't find my comment.
Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached. Is this possible?
If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
Thanks for looking.

John Nack on Adobe : Per-layer metadata comes to Photoshop
This was the article that made me think this might be possible.
There is also the preference to Create Markers From Metadata
["Metadata"]
"CreateLayerMarkersFromFootageXMP" = 01
Which made me wonder if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place that made it something AE would read and automatically change to layer markers.
Any ideas?

Unexpected Error message appears every time I try to open After Effects.

A message saying Unexpected Error appears every time I try to open After Effects. I can't use the application as a result.
ANY IDEAS?????

Okay, I'm using After Effects CS4. I am on a Mac OSX 10.7.3
The message "Unepected Error" appears and is then followed by another window which says "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application set up."
This all began when I was working on a project and left it for about an hour. When I came back to my computer AE had crashed and these are the messages I get when I try to re-start it.
I've recently switched computers and transfered all the software from the old one to this new one.
I used to have this same problem when I used AE on my old mac but deleted some files, I think 'Preferences', from the AE folder in Applications and this sorted the problem out.
'Preferences' don't appear in the AE folder on my new Mac.

Slow render times in Premiere when linking After Effects media

I'm an Avid Media Composer editor but I just switched to Premiere for a special project that needs to have non-interlaced output. I've been pretty impressed until I integrated an After Effects project into my timeline. My render times have now increased exponentially, despite the fact that the After Effects effects are quite simple - single layers of video with very simple moves. Can anyone else chime in with their experience integrating After Effects projects into Premiere? This just seems too horrible to be true.

I've found that the time to render out of After Effects versus the time to render a Dynamic Link comp in PPro is roughly identical. In fact, in many cases it's a bit quicker.
For heavy duty comps, I'd expect to see PPro struggle a little bit more, but definitely not with the basic work you seem to be talking about.

Blank Layer in After Effects CS4

I use to remember how to create a blank layer in after effects, then add a blur effect to the layer and make a oval. I am obviously doing something wrong because what I am doing is not working. I am trying to blur a moving object in adobe premier using key framing. I use to open a new composition, then add an adjustment layer, add a blur effect, then use the shape tool to create a blurred oval. Not sure what I am doing wrong but its not working.

i can do it all in after effects but i thought that i did the key framing in premier, i could be wrong i havent done this in a while. basically im looking to make a blurred circle in after effects.
No keyframing is required for this effect so we're not sure what you think you want us to help you accomplish. Since this is the AE forum forget you have Premiere and forget how you think you remember doing something because, we will agree, your memory appears to be faulty by your own admission. Try to explain what you want to see on the screen in the simplest of terms

Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

It isn't Lion. It might be the browser you are using or it could be an issue with adobe's site.
Try a different browser and if that doesn't work, contact adobe and let them know you are having problems.

After Effects CC 2014 Crashing with Magic Bullet Looks on Mac

Hi,
I recently installed the upgrade to the latest After Effects CC 2014 v13.0 and found the Magic Bullet Looks now causes After Effects to crash. I'm using MBL v2.5.2
I opened the Activity Monitor and noticed that whenever the crash occurs the Adobe QT32 Server is in a state of (Not Responding)
On a clip I can apply the MBL plugin with no problems and even if I am copying a previously set up version from a previous clip, it applies and renders without trouble. I can click "Edit" on the plugin controls, open up the MBL control window and make all the adjustments I need without any trouble. The issue is when I then click either "Finished" or "Cancel" to go back to After Effects. The program freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death for about ten seconds and the the whole thing, MBL and AE shut down.
I am running:
MacBook Pro
OS 10.9.4
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i72.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Cuda 6.0.54
The footage is Apple Quicktime ProRes HQ
I have Quicktime v10.3 installed and Quicktime Pro v7.6.6
I am at a loss as of how to fix or even work around this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

There was a bug in MBL on Premiere CC 2014 that was causing crashing and lockups. Red Giant released an update quite quickly that so far seems to have fixed it for me. I know you're talking about AE but maybe there's some common code that was also fixed? As Rick says, have you checked the latest ver of MBL?

N.B i work with MAC BOOK PRO (intel ) with 2 GB of ram

Hi there, same problem here but on a PowerPC.
I just bought AE7 and installed it on my G5 (with then 10.3.7 running on it). Install went fine but the application would not start up.
Thought this might be a good time to clean up and installed fresh new system on this G5, updated it to 10.3.8 and first thing: installed AE7 again.
But: same problem. In fact, all Adobe application will not start up! The icon bounces a little and then nothing but a crash report.
For a moment I thought I had the solution, because I disabled all the "user fonts". Everything worked fine. Then I installed, as before, my Apple applications (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc) and, oh no... same problem over again. The Adobe application will not start up!
Tried to disable all non essential fonts: no cure. This is driving me crazy....
Any suggestions?

After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip

I don't have much to explain this further but After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip. It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip. The only other similar thing is Photoshop CS5 is also doing crashing my Mac when I resize large images. Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do.
I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

Are you running these two program together?
I would think so.OK you are probably running them both as 64 bit that is great that they run 64 bit and can use more RAM and even better they actually do use more RAM.
So the solution is probably more RAM, don't run them to together or lower the expectations of Photoshop and AE.
That way they won't try to use all the RAM to do this work. It will probably do the wrk pretty fast but not as fast if you had more RAM maybe.
Also AE and PS on an iMac, what about your scratch disk. Is it a very fast external drive and how is it connected?
If you don't have a fast internal drive say with at least a 32MB buffer running at 7200rpm then there you go a real contributing ffactor.
To be honest you need both more RAM and a fast start up disk and a fast external scratch.
The new 2TB drives by Seagate run at 7200 rpm and have 64 MB cache which s as important as the rotation. You can possibly make a Raptor an external scratch as well at 300 GB they are probably not arge enough s a start up.
Those are my thoughts.
16 GB of RAM a larger faster internal drive lower the performance and memory setting as well.

Finder causes After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 to crash

Basically when attempting to import files into either After Effects or Premiere Pro the Finder causes them to crash. I'm not sure
if it's the Movies folder specifically thats causing it, but I'm unable to find out for sure because the Movies folder is the default
folder that comes up when I try to import. Any ideas here? I'm stumped.

What version of MacOS are you running?
If you are on Snow Leopard, you need to be on 10.6.2 or later.

Modifiying an swf layer with After Effect

Greetings,
I'm very new to after effects and have a question regarding an exsisting project that has a swf layer.
We want to increase the time play from 6 second to 48 seconds. No problem with that.. However within the
animation there is a swf that plays for six seconds. I want to keep the last frame up for the next 42 seconds.
(It's a logo). How would I do that without messing up the 6 second animation i.e. change it's duration .
In flash I would simply adda timer or extend the klast key frame way out.
I don't have the original FLA file, just the After Effects project.
Hope I'm clear.
thanks
joe
