Trouble with after effects map and geotagging cities using "locations" plugin

Question for anyone who uses the After Effects Locations plugin to add location based data to After Effects maps. I just downloaded (and watched the tutorial) "Locations" plugin from this page: Locations
In his tutorial, the "Locations" designer (Fabian) explains how to use gpsvisualizer's geocoder to obtain lat/log coordinates for a bunch of cities. The problem is that Google won't allow me to obtain more than one city's lat/long coordinates at a time. Google says I need an "API key" to obtain more than one city's coordinates.
I also need to know if Locations will work with any world map? Any help would be much appreciated.
I've had no luck so far using "Locations" after downloading an equirectangular (2000 x 1000 pixel) map from wikipedia:
Basically all the cities are way way off on the world map, even though I have the correct lat/long coordinates for those cities.
Le Havre for example is in Normandy and on the map it's not even showing up in France. So everything is wrong.

Hi Dave,
Not sure why but now everything's working!
I must have been off with something, but haven't figured out what exactly.
Still using the 2000 x 1000 pixel map but it's actually a vector map prepped in Illustrator, so not pixel based. Just the artboard is set to 2000x1000 pixels.
Thank you in any case.

Serious Issues with After Effects CS6 and CC

Wife updated computer to Mavericks and now I can't open AE CS6 at all - I've downloaded all the updates, but am getting message: "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'Users/christophersprinkle/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.2678.1407352277696161.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
There isn't even a file named as the above ...
That warning is followed by "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
When I try to open the project I'm working on with AE CC, it refuses to open it.
Please help. Am seriously screwed.

Is a 64 core machine running Microsoft's Windows Server compatible with After Effects CC and other CC apps?

I'm trying to build an editing / render machine that has a 64 threaded cores which requires me to use windows server. Has anyone here ever try to run Creative Cloud on a Windows server 2012? Also, any opinions regarding effectiveness, compatibility, and thoughts about this set up is welcome, I would like to hear what you guys think. This station will primarily be used a render station and to edit 4k video through a fiber network.

Also, any opinions regarding effectiveness, compatibility, and thoughts about this set up is welcome, I would like to hear what you guys think.
Well, since you asked: Makes no sense. First off, Adobe desktop apps are generally not officially supported on any server operating systems. That doesn't mean they won't run, but there's no guarantees for anything. Second, if you wanted to use all the cores e.g. for MP rendering in AE, you'd only have 2 GB per core, which isn't much. You will run into all sorts of memory errors. Of course you can skew the balance by using less cores/ processors, but then you don't need 4 processors in the machine in the first place. Also currently AE's MP rendering only allows to use 32 processes at most, anyway. Still, even then the file I/O required to sustain all those 32 instances would probably kill your system. Third, and now we are getting to a point, due to how many things in AE work, limitations imposed by CoDecs and effects and a million other things you may end up never using more than 2 cores on a single processor and things feel like on an Amiga. And well, similar considerations would be true for AME, Premiere and whatever other tools/ programs. Sorry, but this is a highly fictional "What if...?" computer or an Edsel. The way they currently work, no Adobe app could ever feed this beast and exploit all the performance. In fact for 4K work in Premiere you may need a totally different graphics system like a Titan. You simply have things completely wrong and are solely focusing on processing power without seeing the bigger picture. You need to sit down and think it over.

Having trouble with connecting my iphone and macbook air using bluetooth for internet tethering

Hi,
I am facing an issue connecting my iPhone5 to my Macbook Air using bluetooth primarily for internet tethering - personal hotspot.
Every time I try to pair my iPhone with the Macbook Air, I get the error on the iPhone that 'the device that I am trying to connect is not supported'.
Can anyone provide assistance to me on resolving this issue.
Thankyou,
Ashwani

You can't resolve it using bluetooth because it is not a feature you can use here are the supported files for bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
YOu will have to contact your carrier and enable personal hotspot as suggested by questionaire.

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!

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.

"Replace with after effects composition" on Premiere gives me a empty AE project...

I'm selecting and right clicking footage from my Premiere timeline, clicking "Replace with after effects composition", and getting a black, empty screen on After Effects.. There is no footage under Project in AE, and the footage I selected on Premiere also became black. .
I'm using the CS5 version of both programs, and video clips from my 7D... What could be wrong?

I am also having this problem. It worked before but now it isn't I did change to Windows 8 recently but I don't know why that would cause it. Here are some pictures to show
Premiere Pro CC and AE CC both updated today, both restared today. You can see the footage is there and PP is reading it. It is an MPEG2 file. easy.
Right Click on replace with after effect comp
AE opens up and I create a new project
Comp is blank. No footage. Lenght is correct though.
If I tab back to Premiere the footage is gone and shows only black.
Please help.

Mat,
I'm sure you've figured it out.
I don't know how you got two separate source clips - you should have a sequence (comp) and the footage in the project window (bin window) for each In your comp, the tracking can be done by selecting the layer in that comp.
And - you've probably already figured it out that you needed those comps so they could dynamically link back to PremierePro easily.
If you have any Ae/Pr questions - I'm going to try to be in this forum more. I love this stuff.

Fix for crash in After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 when Joesoft Hear audio enhancer installed

After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 both can crash due to a conflict with the Joesoft Hear audio enhancer.
We've just gotten confirmation from Joesoft that they've released a beta version of Hear that doesn't conflict with After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5. We're recommending that our customers who also use Hear install the 1.0.5b2 (build 490) beta version of Hear.
Let us know on this forum thread whether this solution works for you. We on the After Effects and Premiere Pro teams will monitor this thread for feedback, and we'll make sure that the folks at Joesoft get the information that they need, too.
When reporting back, be sure to let us know whether you've installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update and After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update.

After 2 days trying to get AE and Premiere past the mediacore initialization message, I finally stumbled on this little message. Updating Hear definitely solves the problem!

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.

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.

Version update and now "replace with after effects composition" is greyed out.

Hi, I've been working on a project for a while now (using Premiere Pro cc and After Effects cc).
Then CC 2014 came out. I installed those new Versions. To make sure that everything still works I've continued working with cc versions. Now if I want to "Replace with After Effects Composition" (in the premiere pro project opend in Version cc) it doesn't work since it's greyed out.
Can somebody help me?

Ok guys...I got it...
Its not a *mov that it missplaced, its another dynamic link to AE...so dynamic link to dynamic link seems not to work? I accidently linked that clip and worked on it in AE in the old aep from yesterday..but still wondern why AE get confused loading it...the "old aep comp" is full with others comp...could that be the reason...?

HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No!

Severe audio problems in After Effects CS4 and MXF and more...

Hi!
I've been experiencing a lot of problems lately with several CS4 products.
First, and the worst, is that there seems to be some severe audio bug in After Effects when handling mxf-files. I pre-cut a project in premiere CS4, shot with a Sony EX1, and then imported the project in After Effects CS4.
In premiere everything worked fine and I had all the audio. In AE however the audio matched with the MXF-files disappeared (Yes I had the import audio box checked). All other audio worked fine from the music tracks and so on, but the MXF-files (MXF for NLE) was completely blank, the waveforms were completely flat. I checked every option there is in AE regarding audio and tried enabling and disabling XMP ID's and so on. After a lot of tweaking and testing I understood that the problem was not with any settings anywhere, the MXF-files lacked audio even if I started a new project and just imported the MXF-file.
The problem seems to be connected to when importing from Premiere. My colleague was editing a similar project on his computer in After Effects without problems, and he started out fresh in AE (didn't pre-cut in premiere). However, we tried to move my project to his computer, to see if the problem was connected with incompability with my hardware or such, and he got the same problem as me when he opened the project. Waveforms on MXF-files were completely flat. Certain confirmation that the problem was not connected with my computer appeared when he later reopened his own project, that had worked fine before, and audio was now completely gone - waveforms flat. An hour later, by chance, his audio suddenly popped back.
I have experienced this problems in two different projects in different forms (but both pre-cut in premiere). In the first, audio disappeared while previewing but was there when I ctrl-scrolled and rendered (no I hadn't muted audio in the preview panel). In the second, audio was completely gone even when rendered.
In both cases I tried saving and restarting the computer, reimporting from premiere, starting a fresh after effects project and only importing the mxf-files, changing the project settings, fps fixed to the correct instead of auto, changing output audio mapping, changing XMP, and so on in every possible way and combination I could imagine.
At my company our suspicion is that After Effects flags mfx-files imported from Premiere in some wierd way, to strengthen and ensure compatibility between the two - regarding different audio tracks, settings and effects from premiere (and this is almost what you could suspect that the XMP ID is for, but as explained with or without doesn't change a thing regarding this). We have no problem with the pure MXF support for AE, as MXF-files work just fine in After Effects if you import them directly and have not imported them through premiere earlier (but after a file has been "flagged" you seem to be sc***ed)
Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I missing something huge?
As additional notes, the dynamic link function seems extremely buggy and both premiere both sometimes complains about "dynamic link already in use and only one connection blah blah" even though only one link is used, and even though you restart the projects, programs, computer, whatever.
In furher addition Adobe Media Encoder (which also seems to be using some sort of dynamic link offspring) is super-buggy and most codec formats either doesn't start to render or just renders partially and then the program hangs. The problem have a connection with a process named pproheadless.exe eating upp all the RAM (4gbs).
(My workstation has been working smoothly for one and a half years and I have had very little problems with CS3 and "just" AE CS4. I am cautious of updates, don't have spyware and use Quicktime 7.5 as 7.5.5 is superbuggy and people seems to have problems with 7.6 and it doesn't fix the gamma issues anyway.)
Sorry if this was a long post but the problem is compl

Dude, that's what these forums are all about. Everyone in here says they dont work for Adobe, but they all act like apologists for what is clearly a disaster of a software release. My complaints aren't as specialized as yours, just very basic, and I wont go into all of them, because the list is long, and includes nearly every program in CS4.
I'm going for a refund, either from the retailer or my credit card company. Releasing software like this is dishonest.
