Why can't I open my saved After Effects CS6 project?

When I try to open my project in CS6, it says "File is damaged" and "After Effects warning: Unable to read color settings. Color settings reset to factory default." I NEED HELP!

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

I think I figured it out. I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine. Whoop Whoop. Thanks for your help.

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

Why can't I download Premiere and After Effects CC on my laptop?

Why can't I download Premiere and After Effects CC on my laptop? I don't have the option for the Creative Cloud apllication on my menu bar as well. It launches Adobe Download Manager instead. Software like Photoshop and Illustrator CC are working fine?
Thanks!

If it doesn't show up your system doesn't support it. It's as easy as that. Refer to the system requirements for the applications.

Why can I not open jpg files in PS CS6?

I just updated from CS5 to CS6. I opened several photos in Bridg and edited them in Adobe Raw 7.1. I then opened the raw files in CS6 and saved them in jpg format. I went back to open them in CS6 from Camera Raw and found that I cannot open them driectly in CS6 from there. Here is the popup I get: Windows cannot find C;\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

I'm having a different CS6 / JPG problem. I cannot set CS6 as the default program for JPG files. I can set CS6 for TIFF's and PSD's, but not JPG files.
When I try, it is not in the list of programs, or "other program." I can select CS6 manually, but it doesnt work and the default association does not stick.
I can go to CS6 and open a JPG directly, but not from Windows Explorer.
Anyone else have this issue?

How to access and open Mocha within After Effects CS6

I'm aware that the Mocha app is opened through After Effects in the Animation tab then Track In mocha AE option, but this option is always greyed out. What do I need to do so that this option is not greyed out.

Do you have a layer based on a video footage item selected?

After Effects CS6 - Project Files Virused?

Guys,
I'm collaborating on a stereo TV show with several other CG artists (living around the U.S.), and one of them has been complaining for months now about how his AE project files (created with CS6, running under Windows 8 64-bit) have gotten huge, and take literally hours to load. He then shipped us the files for us to examine.
Here's the deal: one of his .AEP files clocks in at 222 megs, and when I loaded it into my copy of CS6 (running on a dual Xeon machine, Windows 7 64-bit, 32G of RAM), it took 45 minutes to load. (Another one of our artists, working on a Power Mac, tried loading a different project created by this guy, and it took 10 hours to load.)
I then proceeded to completely rebuild his comp in my copy of AE CC -- I loaded all his original footage (a combination of 32-bit .EXRs, .PNGs, .TIFs and .TGAs), set up the layers and effects filters exactly like his, and then resaved my file.
Result: my file is 2 megs in size -- 1/100th the size of his file -- and it loads on my machine in 5 seconds.
Has anyone ever heard of something like this? I'm wondering if somehow a virus or Trojan put an enormous amount of spurious data in these files, or if they were somehow created with a cracked version of AE or some other plugin, and our legit copies of AE are brought to a standstill with his bad .AEP files. (Note: I scanned his files and footage with Avast Antivirus, MalwareBytes and the Windows Malicious Software Removal tool, and came up with nothing.)
Here's the other weird thing: I loaded one of his project files, then started deleting layers, footage, and comps, and kept resaving the project and checking the file size. Even after I deleted every single element in the project -- it was completely empty -- and saved it, the file size went down from 222 megs to only 214 (and that empty project file still took 45 minutes to load.) I saved this empty project as an .XML (.aepx) file, and that file is 430 megs!
What in the world is going on here? We really need to figure this out, because it's destroyed our productivity on this show having to rebuild these comps. Thanks,

Guys, all the footage is CG and was rendered from Lightwave -- there was no live-action footage to "camera track" or "stabilize."
Second, most of these comps don't even use a camera inside of AE -- they're 2D comps entirely.
And again, as an experiment, I deleted literally everything in the comp and saved a completely empty project, and the file was still huge and took 45 minutes to load. How can that be?
I would really love to send one of these files to Adobe and have you guys load it into a debug version of AE CS6 to see if you can identify what the problem is. Thanks,

Why can others not open a PDF after I have digitally signed it.

I have a PDF that I have digitally signed that others users, MACS and WINDOWS can not open after my signature is applied on my computer. I can still open and view the document with no problem. I have been able to successfully sign the document on a different machine which was then usable by others. This problem is new since I upgraded to 10.1.4, or at least now notice it.

What exactly happens when others try?

Why can't I open pdf documents after using Adobe Reader security?

I have been able to open pdfs perfectly well up until I changed the security settings on Adobe Reader. As I read somewhere that Apples have an inbuilt pdf reader I trashed everything Adobe, but still can't open pdfs. Tried using Preview to no avail.
Is there some other way of opening pdfs without reinstalling Adobe?

You didn't think of mentioning that in your first post? So it's not Adobe Reader or Preview you are having problems with. It's pdf's in your browser!
For Safari, you need to remove the adobe pdf plugins which Adobe apparently screwed up. You need to remove:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
I think you can "get away with" removing just the second one. But both for sure should allow you to open pdf's in a browser (all browsers).

Why can't I open Captivate 7 after installing Yosemite

I installed Yosemite and now I can't open Adobe Captivate 7. Any ideas?

Hi there
Forums 101: If you want us to actually see images, never Never NEVER attach them. Instead, use the camera icon to insert them.
As for the output files not opening on other PCs, were you certain that you copied ALL the files? Normally there are at least a SWF, HTM and JS file to copy. Depending on what you did with the project, there may be additional files to include.
As for the other machine, are you certain you are using the same Captivate version? You cannot open a CP4 file if you have CP3. Additionally, where is the project located? Local drive or network? If on the network, try moving the file to local drive.
Cheers... Rick

Why can't I open my apps after updating

Ii have a newest iPad , but after I updated the software this morning to ios5.1.1, I could not open any of apps... Please help me!!!

Try a rest:
Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignor the Off slider if it appears. This should take about ten seconds give or take. When shutdown is complete, turn the iPad back on and check to see if the apps will perform properly.

Can I rotate masked Layers in After Effects CS6

I'm having trouble finding out how to rotate masked layers or do I have to erase the Masks and using the pen tool to cut a rotated version of them.

You can rotate the layer: use the rotate tool, or you can scrub the numerical values in the rotation property in the timeline, or enter numerical values via the keyboard.
You can rotate the mask: double-click on the layer, double-click on the mask, and rotate it at the corners.
