I'm running the latest version of CC. Just before the holiday, we had a power failure at work, however, both my computer and the server are on battery backups that functioned as expected. Upon returning to work today, I'm finding that all After Effects projects are failing to open, including server backups. This is the error I get:
Every time I try to render in AE I get this error message " after effects unable to open file 1610153459" I'm stuck until I find a solution. I've tried some of the solutions I've found on the web, such as using a different drive and changing permissions on drive. While the problem is the same, most of the solutions are for a PC. I have a Mac.
so I frequently bring older versions of projects into my current AE project, particularly when revising spots, what I want to understand clearly is the behavior of AE projects once they are imported into a larger project.
If I make edits to the compositions of the nested project, are those changes saved back to the nested project's orginal file? If I alter the original nested projects file, how much will it change instances of it nested in other projects?
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.
I've noticed that After Effects CC takes much longer to save my current project than previously (about 2-3 minutes). I'm used to saving quite often so this is slowing down my workflow.
The project was imported from AE CS6. I've tried starting a new project and importing the previous one manually (instead of a conversion). Same lag.
All unused footage has been taken out and the footage has been consolidated.
The AE CS6 project file and AE CC file are about 15mb so CC is not any bigger.
There are about 50 files in Arri Raw 3K, the rest is in DPX and ProRes 1080p.
I'm working from a Macbook Pro Retina 16GB Ram and all media and cache are on an external Lacie Big Disk thunderbolt Raid SSD.
My impression is that AE CC is indexing all the files before saving so it's going through all the RAW sequenced files. This could slow down the saving process quite a lot.
When I click on ANY existing project AE goes to welcome queue or, if I uncheck the "show welcome screen..." box, it just goes to a new project window. Either way I used to be able to click a project and AE would open THAT project. This is a double search issue that is distracting and downright aggravating. Is something messed up in my preferences?
I have downloaded different templates from web and edited them according my wish and now i want to create final movie by combining all the clips. Some clips/projects are with different resolution, i have rendered all projects separately and created individual .mov clips. Now i want to create final movie by combining all the clips. I am working with adobe after effects cs6.
I'm working on a project, and I want to open another file (perhaps to drag it into said project). So I go to the Bridge and I double-click on the file, and it opens up, taking up the whole workspace like it should. HOWEVER, when I click the downsize button (to make it a smaller movable window) it makes it a smaller window in the top left corner, but I can't move it and I can't see my other project that's supposedly behind it. I have to maximize it, and then totally minimize it to see whatever is behind it.
Sometimes something really weird happens (I don't know if it's because I did something different or not). When I click the downsize button, the window totally disappears. No smaller window, no bar at the bottom. I can still see the document in the Navigator, however. To get it back, I usually just quickly create a new document, then exit out of it, and my original project that I was working on is back again.
I would really like to be able to just click that downsize button to have multiple movable smaller windows so I can easily drag stuff from one project to another.
Gimp refuses to open after closing all projects and reopening gimp! it always freezes INSTANTLY on the start-up screen! it doesn't matter how many times I force close Gimp and restart Gimp! it always freezes 1 second after opening!
Yesterday Ae was working perfectly. Today, Ae will not render compositions in the render queue or in AME? If I try to render from Ae,I get this error message:
and I can fin nothing about this error anywhere on line.
I recently upgraded to PhotoshopCS5.5 and find that I can't print on my HP Photoshop Premium printer. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I also am unable to open 2 images at the same time.
i created a mask in my footage by using pencil tool
now i want to scale it down (NOT to shrink/expand masked area)
tried this: selected footage layer and went to Transform - Scale, and even if i scale down to -500%, nothing happens. Then went to Mask - Mask Expansion, but this is not the feature i need. I need to scale down the object which i've masked out
also tried to add adjustment layer and linked my mask layer to it and then tried to scale down Adjustment layer - no effect, simply nothing happens
I cannot play the ram preview, when I click the button the image gets flipped and frozen. I can scrub the timeline and see the animation I am working on, but I need a real-time preview. I downloaded the last after effects patch for mavericks, but I think this is an issue with the Iris Pro graphics card.
i'm trying to loop my composition (72 frames) containing a moving object (a walking chicken, refer to printscreen)
i followed tutorial here [URL] ........
In short, i applied Layer > Time > Enable Time Remapping to my newly created Comp 2. Two key frames were created. I moved to the last frame, and then 1 keyframe backwards and created a new keyframe. Then on the very last keyframe i set the time to 0 and then deleted the penultimate frame (which i had just created). And then added Property > LoopOut(Type="Cycle", numKeyframes = 0) to the layer i want to loop.
however, after applying LoopOut expression, i am no longer able to playback - when i pres Play to preview, the chicken stands still (meanwhile time indicator is moving continuously, indicating that playback is in action).
Thinking that i deleted wrong keyframe, i undid all changes and repeated all steps again but this time i deleted the very last frame and left the penultimate frame (and setting time to 0 ). It did not have any effect - chicken does not move, time indicator is moving/looping in the timeline.
I've been trying to add a camera to my project but when I do, instead of just popping up in the layer section it also pops up lines in the actual project, which is not supposed to happen.Also, when I try to zoom in or do anything with it, the camera lines on the screen reacts to it but not anynthing else.
Not the text, not the background, not the reflection, not the logo's, nothing!
Unable to start audio playback. Please confirm your audio device is properly configured or change the driver selection in Preferences: Audio Hardware. On After effects CC
Im on a mac with mavricks OS and i have done what it says and changed it but it go's back to the setting that it was on the one that does not work.
I have to look at a PC tomorrow that has either CS5 or CS5.5, it's running Windows 7 64 bit with 16 GB of Ram.
The error being given is: "Unable to allocate 0.000Mb of memory. Either decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame or install more RAM. (123803/U.Mem Tracked Object)"
I have installed After Effects CS6 in a Mac running 10.6.8(Snow Leopard) with 4 GB ram and have installed all the updates of After Effects. Whenever I try to get the audio output, i get an error: " After Effects Warning: Unable to start audio playback. confirm your audio hardware is properly configured or change the driver selection in Preferences: Audio Hardware "
I tried to reinstall the software and also I tried the Audio MIDI Setup configuration but it too is of no use.
I'm running After Effects CS6 11.0 on MAC OSX and everytime I attempt to apply text, either by creating a new text layer from the drop down menu or dragging open a text box I get "Unable to Access Resource P_TextSmallCaps_Sm_N_D (type png)"
Is this a png file missing from the program, a fixable bug or what?
I have autocad civil 3d 2008 in my pc. From last 2 days I got a different problem i.e. when I am selecting open / save command from File menu graphical file select explorer is not opening just message in the command window . Previously I used to select files using graphical file explorer.
Since I upgraded from CS4 to CS6, I am unable to use the FILTER > RENDER > LIGHTING EFFECTS. Why is this? Also, My eraser brush disappears after working on multiple files.
