CS6 not importing .mp4 files

Hi everyone.  I am switching from cs5.5 to cs6.  I still have cs5.5 on my computer and just now cs6.  The problem, I have run into is when I try to import a .mp4 video file AE cs6 tells me "After Effects error: file '132_2250_01.MP4' cannot be imported - this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported" 

Yet, the same .mp4 file opens up just fine inside Premiere Pro cs6 and AE cs5.5

So, I'm working on a project and it looks like I have to finish it in cs5.5 

Any reasonable explanation?  Thanks for your help. 

PS-All other .mov .avi files open up just fine in AE cs6

Only files that are giving me a problem with cs6 are the ones I recorded with my Sony EX Cam.  CS5.5 never has.

Again, thanks for any help

Hey. I just got a new Macbook Pro Retina.

I went from a Windows PC to a Mac, and everything is working fine except for the fact that my preferences option in After Effects is not showing. It used to show up under Edit>Preferences on my previous PC but I can't seem to find it at all now.

 

Does anyone know why this is?

 

Thanks in advance.

Requested After Effects tutorial

Hey! This will be my first thread ever on this site, and I just wish to say that After Effects been a great product and I now wish to learn more into it, other than just buying templates or what ever.

 

I am asking for some help on how to do the following effects you see in the very beginning of the file on this page:

http://videohive.net/item/professional-portfolio/126758?ref=vhreferral &ref=vhreferral&clickthrough_id=82502642&redirect_back=true (click "Video Preview")

 

The text gently falls into place and starts building up the intro. This is what I want

 

If you know of any video/text tutorials that can help me make something like that, that'd be very appruchiated! (Or if you simply wanna tell me on this thread how to)

 

- Thanks alot!

RAM usage reaching 100%?

Hi guys,

I'm starting this discussion to help me with a problem that I'm having with After Effects CS6, where everytime that I try and render a video, the RAM % being used of my available 4GB is reaching 100%, subsequently stopping the render and giving me the following error message:

http://gyazo.com/a1662e3ff82c4116deddaa9a97d90f47

My Computer Specs:

2011 Macbook Air

1.7 GHz Intel Core i5

4gb RAM 1333 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

 

After Effects Details:

After Effects CS6 Version 11.0.2.11

2.5gb RAM Available to After Effects

Multiprocessing - Off

.mp4 format with the H.264 Codec

Rendering in 59.94 fps

 

I'll also add that I've only ever encountered this problem since upgrading from CS5 to CS6 and that I am a Call of Duty editor for YouTube, so these renders have lots of colour correction and effects!

Are there any known solutions to this problem? Or is it just my 'under-powered' computer

All replies much appreciated!

After Effects Crash

When starting AE I get this message:

 

After Effects error: Crash in progress.  Last logged message was: <4332> <GPU Manager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 1

 

The only time I can get AE to start is if I open it as soon as I turn on the computer.  Any attempt to open it after that results in the above crash message.  This is on my laptop.  I had a similar problem on my desktop a few months ago that was fixed after a couple of hours of trial and error by the technical help people.

need help converting an AE6.5 project file to CS6

I have a project file saved in AE 6.5 which would be painful to recreate. I know this can only be done by resaving the file using CS4 or possibly CS5... but I am a licensed user of AE CS6. Would be nice if Adobe could make some sort of converter available.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

thanks

Prores422

We are importing prores footage 422 in after effetcs CS6 and when we export the media we have bright and color differences compared with the original footage. We found an Adobe document that explains how to edit the "interpretation rules" to tell after effetcs that footage is 4:2:2. We did it but we're still experiencing the same issue.

Looking forward to your thoughts

After effects error: exception occurred while processing effect "Pixelate". ( 25 ::0 )

I'm using Adobe After Effect CS5.5 and I'm having a problem with the following errow message:

 

PROBLEM / ERROR MESSAGE

After effects error: exception occurred while processing effect "Pixelate". ( 25 ::0 )

 

SCENARIO

It happens when I apply pixelate to text and have the text move onscreen from offscreen...
To clarify, let's say I apply the "pixelate" effect to text and move it off screen. Then, I place a keyframe and move 10 frames down. Next, I place another keyframe (ten frames past the 1st keyframe), and I move the text to the center of the screen. When I play the comp, the error appears as soon as the text is first visible in the preview window (onscreen).

 

I've already tried the following websites, but none of there solutions work:

Any thoughts?


cannot apply track matte to a second layer

hi

 

i have a footage showing office's screen which displays some statistics, etc.

 

I masked out that screen and added a different footage within mask's boundaries and now the screen displays some football match instead.

 

Now i want to add another footage right after football footage - to imitate switching between tv channels (i guess it's also called channel surfing?). In other words, i want that screen to display a football match, then some news report, then some documentary, etc.

 

So i added 2nd footage to may composition and placed it under football layer (refer to printscreen)

 

I selected football and 2nd footage  and made a precomposition. then applied Alpha matte and set track matte as parent. Did not work - only a white rectangle was displayed instead of footage.

 

Then i tried to duplicate track matte and placed it right above 2nd footage and set it (track matte duplicate) as parent - was thinking that each new footage may require separate track matte. did not work either...

 

if somebody could take a look at the printscreen and gi2nd layer ae.jpge advise it would be awesome.

 

 

 

By the way, i managed to display 2nd footage by applying Alpha inverted matte and setting it as a child to track matte, but its not quite right because i have to meticulously adjust 2nd footage's size manually to fit into office screen's frame and its really hard to do

Should I be working in 720x576, is it okay to view on widescreen TV??
