After Effects :: CS5 Now Crashing On Startup (Mac OS 10.6.4)
Aug 24, 2010
I started it up this morning and received the following error message:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <4431105056>
<DynamicLink> <5> /Library/Application Support/
Adobe/Common/dynamiclink/CS5/
dynamiclinkmanager.app.
I've tried rebooting several times, repairing permissions, repairing permissions in safe mode, running AE in safe mode, but nothing seems to be fixing it.
My info:
After Effects CS5
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad-core Intel Xeon
8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
Running OS 10.6.4
I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 yesterday. Reinstalled CS5.5 Master Collection and updated through AAM. I can open Photoshop, but if I open a file, or try to create a new file, it crashes immediately, and this is the error info:
Running Windows 7 64 bit, has been fine up until a few days ago after I had a virus. I have uninstalled, used the photoshop clean up tool and reinstalled, still the same problem. CS4 is working fine but I can't get CS5 to work, it crashes on start up with the following details.

The last two days I've been unable to open Illustrator CC 17.0.1 on Mac OS 10.9.
I've copied the crash message below.
I've tried to hold command, option + shift on startup to delete the prefs, but it doesn't even get that far. I've also re-booted in safe mode and this allows it to open (but then hangs and crashes)
I just bought elements 10 and it wont start; its crashing trying to open editor...I haven't had a chance to use it yet. It shows it's starting and then its not responsive. Now the program is completely unresponsive and not opening at all.
I experienced this issue with Gimp 2.6 whenever I had a lot of brushes in the brush folder. The only way I found to avoid the problem was to have less brushes in it. As a result, I never got to really use all of them like I had intended to.
The current version I'm using is 2.8. I updated Gimp because I saw the tagging system. I figured it'd be easier to locate the brushes I want to use. The program worked fine up until I added more folders to the brush folder to take advantage of the tagging system. Now the start-up freezes and crashes when it's updating the tagging cache.
In general, Gimp seems to get mad at me when I add a crap ton more than it's comfortable with.
I just did the latest CC upgrade and my Illustrator keeps crashing. I use Astute graphics, so figured it may have to do with the plug-ins, but after Iremoved them from the plug-ins folder the issue persists.
I've recently updated CC from 12.1 to 12.2 and I cannot launch it anymore. After Effects launches its UI and after 2-3 seconds it crashes without any error message or crash log. My specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Intel Core i5 3450 3.1GHz Geforce GTX 560 Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 motherboard 16GB ram
I've already reinstalled After Effects about 4 times, deleted media cache, deleted preferences, updated graphics drivers, rebooted my PC dozens of times but I still can't run it.
It's done this twice before, but has been fine lately. I have a last-minute deadline job that just came in and I can't get AE to even start! Last time this happened, I just kept trying and after about 15 attempts, it launched...not doing that this time.
i get this error message everytime when i start AE CS6 ... i dont know why because PS, AI, Pr works fine. what i tried was:
1. reinstalled AE and Master Collection 2. deleted every Preferences and Application support Folder with adobe 3. repaired the disk permission 4. repaired the font chach and everything.
actually every adobe folder was deleted, but after a new installation i got the same massage only with AE
I recently purchased Video Co-Pilot's plugin for Adobe After Effects, Element 3D, but much to my amiss, it does not work. The first time I tried to open the scene setup, it said, "Element 3D has encountered an unrecoverable error." I closed After Effects, and opened it back in hopes of trying again. But this time, when I apply Element 3D to a solid, it tells me "After Effects has stopped working" and I am forced to close the program.Nothing has changed yet, every time I try to add Element 3D to a solid it crashes After Effects. I updated my graphics driver, re-installed Element 3D, everything I can think of, but to no avail.
Is there a reason that After Effects keeps crashing and only getting to a certain render point when pressing "0"? If I split projects into different compositions I don't tend to get the same issues, but it's more pain than it's worth spiting one video into 4 parts.
3D layers work fine but when I cast shadows from 3D layers after effects quickly crashes with an error ... After Effects Error:bad tracked memory ID (23:35).
I have tested very simple projects to determine if it was shadows creating the problem...simply two 3D layers with on casting shadows onto the other and this seems to be the culprit.
I have tried lowering the advanced composition settings for the shadow mapping down to their lowest settings as well to see if that is a solution but even at 250 the project will still crash. I've also tried ENABLING openGL just to see if my video card played nicer in openGL than not...again crash.
Basics of my system are
AMD PhenomII 3.2ghz quad 16 gig Gskill ram NvidiaGTX285 video card 700watt power supply gigabyte motherboard...if necessary I can give model number but it escapes me at the moment. Vista Home Premium 64bit
I am going to check video card drivers next...but they have been recently updated.
I cannot say if this is a new development as for some time with CS5 I was not working with 3D layers but now on recent projects this is occuring. I am also going to try the same project recreated in CS4 and see what happens.
I d'l'd the CS5 MC and everything was fine up until yesterday. AE is now crashing at the splash page. The first message is: "After Effects warning: Unable to create font." After hitting "OK", I then get "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during startup." I uninstalled and reinstalled AE twice (using the trial and onlt reinstalling AE as everything else is fine) but am still getting the same message. I then tried the CS5 cleanup utility only to have it crash and had to force quit that. I am running an iMac intel dual core. 2.4 g w/ 3 gigs ram.
I am using native .mxf - MPEG-2 HD footage shot with a Canon XF300, and nearly every time I place it in the timeline or or viewer and scrub AE freezes and crashes. Non mxf footage doesn't cause AE to crash.I am running a newly built Windows 7 64bit system
Dual Xeon 2687's EVGA Classified SRX motherboard 96 GB RAM 3 SSD (operating system and applications on one, scratch and cache on others) GeForce GTX580 3GB internal 10K raptor drive (footage) External OWC 4TB Qx2 RAID 5 / 0 (switched configurations in an attempt to resolve issue) (footage) - connected eSATA / USB2.0
I have adjusted the preview resolution settings, the preferences, the location of scratch disks, changed the location and connectivity of media hard disk, I have attempted older drivers, and ive switched video cards - I previously was using Quadro4000. I have reinstalled the Adobe Suite, and just yesterday did a complete reinstallation of the OS. And that hasn't seemed to solved the issue.
In the Windows event log, the error reads: Faulting application path: C:Program FilesAdobeAfter Effects CS6Support FilesAfterFX.exe.Faulting module path: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe After Effects CS6Support Filesmc_dec_mp2v.dll
I am new to .mxf and I have only been using this footage format for a few months, however the crashing issue did not occur until about a month ago. Im not using proxies I believe it was around the time when I applied the latest AE update. I cant say with confidence it was the update because I also was switching GPU drivers to resolve Premiere Pro crashing. Essentially AE worked when Premiere Pro didn't, and now visa versa.
It always catches and crashes before going into adaptive resolution. Are the hard drives not able to keep up? Footage runs fine in Premiere Pro Hardware seems to check out.
I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 in after effects.
CS4 ran smoothly and fine.
However, when I start CS6 i get the typical loading screen, it then tells me that
GPUSniffer.exe has stopped working *I click close the program* Another window comes up After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: "<2076><GPUManager><2>Sniffer Result Code: 1
Then it closes everything. I read online this can happen with multiple moniters. My main screen is connected via SVGA to my graphics card, however my second (and smaller screen) is connected to the mobo and runs on VGA.
My graphics card is fully updated as is most of my other drivers.
I can take out the moniter and then AE boots fine, but I don't want to do this everytime just for AE.
My only solution to this is leaving the error message there and waiting for AE to load, or clicking close and having everything crash.
The last one wasnt so drastic, because it was only 1 file. I rendered the .mxf file as a quicktime in media encoder, and the problem was gone. But now I have another project that must be reworked, and it is a long edit with just .mxf files. the error is:
After effects error: Error (4) reading frame from file "D:PROJECT DATAunternehmen aus der regionfilmsOptikGeistRawCONTENTSVIDEO0055B.MXF".
The material is from a P2 card. Every time I move the time indicator in a sequence, it hangs for 30 seconds, and I get the error message again.
This is the second time I have reinstalled AI CS6 as last resort. It will freeze up Illustrator every time that I apply an effect like a drop-shadow, etc. 2011 MacBook Pro i7 on OS X Mountain LionCreative Cloud CS6Other tools work fineI have a couple plug-ins from Astute Graphics - however, I had the problems occur previous to the plug-ins.. I have tried restarting, using only AI and no other programs, etc.. When I reinstalled last time the probelm went away for about 4 weeks.
I've been trying to get my Steinberg (Yamaha) ur-28m external USB audio interface/soundcard to work with After Effects CS6 for a week now. The problem is that everytime I change the audio input in the AE preferences to the Steinberg asio drivers AE freezes for a few seconds and then crashes. Same thing happens in Premiere btw.
I've tried everything possible:
- updated Steinberg drivers to newest version - updated AE to latest version - trashed preferences - totally removed and installed master collection again - formatted hd and Reinstalled windows 7 and installed Master collection again. - tried all possibles buffer rates
Problem still there... I looked into the events log and it mentions ntdll.dll and makes afterfx.exe crash. Bottom line is I can't work with sound now, which is really frustrating. In other programs (non Adobe) these drivers are rock solid. Apparantly After effects (and in my case premiere also) doesn't like Steinberg. I saw this other thread about Steinberg in After Effects: [URL] Doesn't look like it's been solved.
I have read several other threads on this issue where the control overlays are missing when you go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. The "answer" from Adobe always seems to be, "updated your video card drivers."
I have a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v for my Dell laptop running Windows 7 64bit. I have checked both through Dell and the ATI page and I have the latest drivers but Lighting Effects don't work properly. So now what?
I tried messing with the Preferences for Performance based on other posts. No luck. When I go to View>Extras>Show All I do then see the controls, however, the program freezes then crashes every time.
do I have to go back to CS4 to do all my lighting effects?
cleaned up the fonts and its still crashing by simply scrolling thru to find a file to open and to make matters worse, my CS2 which hardly ever crashed now crashes just opening it. I am rather beside myself, I have an iMac running 10.6.8 with 4GB of memory. I would love to copy and paste the crash report but it's not letting me do that.
I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?
In PSP X5 I'm pretty sure there's a way to make User Defined Instant Effects in the Adjust mode, but I can't find the steps in the Help Files. I'm thinking these are just scripts, but I'm not sure.
I have a flash animation, just shapes and tweening. I was wondering if there's a way to convert it to After Effects but keeping it editable (i.e. getting AE shapes and keyframes).
I have created keyframes from audio file and used them to generate some effect, all works fine, it is amazing how easy it is However, I would like to generate flash (?) so that these effects would be dynamic to different audio files after export.
What I want is basically to create effects that can be used in life event to the streaming music.
