After that effects 12.1 hangs on start up

I just installed upgrading 12.1 of After Effects, and now I can't open the program. When I try to start AE, I get the error message:

After effects of warning: cannot rename the file ' / users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces. 773.1407350999826081.XML' to 'workspaces.xml '.

I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling AE. The same problem.

Any suggestions?

Mac OS has incorrectly set the permissions for some files.

When you upgrade a Mac OS (as opposed to install new fresh version), Mac OS is _often_ set permissions for folders and files incorrectly.

You will see this problem in the programs such as After Effects in the form of error messages indicating that a file cannot be written, overwritten or renamed.

To resolve this problem in the case of After Effects, go to the Preferences folder and define file preferences _entire_ (Library/preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/) and all its content to not be writable, read-only.

    Update for Windows Vista (KB2345886)

    I found KB981957 to be the culprit on that I worked on a system of XP SP3.  With this update installed, I get an error C000021A Service Control Manager BSOD.  I have manually uninstalled this update by using the Recovery Console and then used Windows Update through IE and deselected this update.  All the other updates installed correctly and the system starts properly.  I would like to know why this update is causing this problem.  Anyone with the same problem?

    It reminds me of a similar situation earlier this year with BSOD KB991765.  The cause of the BSOD is a virus that has infected system driver files.  Once clean, the installation worked very well.  I've done many scans on this system and have not yet found any viruses.

  • After that effects cs6 never quit

    Hello

    I'm on windows 7 64-bit, 24 MB of RAM, 2 * 2.5 Xeon.

    Whenever I want that after CS6 effect, I have to kill me all processes in the Task Manager. He is not leaving itself. I use multiprocessing of AE and I have to kill one by one and also kill dynamiclink.exe.I just installed windows 7 on a new SSD drive and installed the creative cloud applications. It's a new system. I have another computer with same spec and I don't have this problem. The only difference between them is a blackmagic card. I tried to reinstall the adobe app, but it's always the same. I have not found any answer on the forum. Apparently I'm alone.

  • After that Effects 7.0 crashes (0::42)

    Hello

    I work with AE 7.0 and whenever I try to make a project, AE crashes. (After that the effects cannot continue... or something similar)

    Today as yet, it crashed when setting my preferences...

    I'm trying to make a composition of nine minutes, composed of 4 files .mov, no effect at all...

    My PC is a Windows XP Pro x 64, Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 of CPU with 2.66 GHz, 4 GB Ram

    I tried everything I could find in this forum: I have disabled the OpenGL, set my preferences hidden, disabled the DLL, update QuickTime, deleted my preferences,...

    I would be very grateful if someone of you knew a solition to my problem.

    It is perhaps an insoluble compatibility issue. It is possible that a Windows Update has replaced a Windows Media component involved in coding the WMV and naturally, AE 7 is a bit old and is not maintained, there is no solution in sight. Yet, you can check your settings again, especially the audio part. There may be something ongoing weird...

    You try to run a really old version of AE on a more recent operating system. This type of request for the questions, but we will try to help.

    Update of AE. If you try to run an older version, get at least the version the most up-to-date of it! You must run 11.0.4. Who can solve the issue just like that.

  • After that Effects CS5 hangs on save dialog box

    Hi people, I'm new to the forum. I have a big problem with After Effects CS5. After the program has been open for some time, when I try to save, the program blocks (the first recorded little perfectly fine, if not a little slowly). I can not even close with CTRL + ALT + DELETE, I have to restart my computer. I work on a PC with a processor Intel Core i7 with 24 GB of memory RAM. Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Doesn't seem to make a difference how big or small, the project is. After effects is completely up to date, in fact, I installed the latest update today, but it made no difference. I hope someone can help. After Effects is a big part of how I earn a living and this is killing me! Thanks a lot for any help in advance

    Uh, Yes. But where you save? You left out the most important news, and since you speak of records usually slow, it goes without saying that you have a hardware problem here...

  • After that effects CC 2015.3 trial only opens after clicking on OK

    Hello

    Time after effects 2015.3 and first 2015.3 have been installed successfully, but the test does not start when I click on OK in the window of the agreement. He just keeps on popping up back. What is the Adobe problem? I use Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) which is updated running on Dell XPS 2710. What should do to operate a guy? I'm afraid that once I get a license that doesn't always work.

  • After that effects 2015.3 takes a long time to open, left after the closing process running

    My AE 2015.3 takes very long time to start. He gets the message "Initializing MediaCore" on the splash screen and then hangs there for 1-3 minutes. It opens also a ton of "Adobe After Effects 2015.3" tasks in the Task Manager, leaving them running even after I quit the program.

    Here is what my task manager looks at this time (no AE running)

    AECrazy.jpg

    So far, what I've done:

    1 uninstalled all Adobe software, including Adobe CC Panel

    2 uninstalled all 3rd party plugins, scripts, and presets

    3. manually deleted all files from adobe - complete cleaning

    4. re-installed AE and some other programs

    (all with reboot between the two).

    No difference.

    Help?

    Apparently, nVidia GeForce drivers are at fault. The break of v368.81 WHQL way Adobe applications communicate with Media Core, make After Effects, first and slow speed Grade, leaving the additional processes in their wake and spoil some plugins 3rd party.

    Returning to a previous driver nVidia solved all the problems.

    Where is a jumping off point to decipher what breaks?

    If you are exporting .mov files using the Apple QuickTime H.264 codec, be warned: it's a codec very buggy, and he is known to fail when used on computer systems with a large number of processor cores; If I remember correctly, the keel of codec on when we use 20 threads or more, so - for example a system double-hexacore with hyperthreading active would have this problem.

    I don't know what your specific problem, since we are missing a few details yet. Please answer the questions on the page that Dave linked to.

    Also, try to export to other format and codec as a diagnostic step.

  • After that effects CC - export still image

    Hello

    I've recently upgraded to CC. I am trying to export still images as a jpg after effects CC

    CS 5.5 (and earlier versions) allowed me to use the shortcut ctrl + alt + s to add the current image of the render as an image queue fixed.  I would then change the format through the output module.

    The same shortcut in CC opens a dialog box with the psd as available output format only. Composition > save image as > file... also of the results in format psd with no other option.

    Is there a simple process of simillar to export a jpg image again via the render queue?

    Thanks adavance

    There seems to be a few unnecessary changes.

    However I solved that myself, if you click ok in the dialog box and with the exception of the psd format, it adds to the rendered quene where you can change the format. No idea why there are no other options in the "Save as file...". ' option, only PSD.

    This is the expected behavior when you have never made a model of a newly installed version of AE. He worked this way since at least AE 6.5 (the old version I installed on a computer nearby to compare). The output module must have a destination for the file, so when you call the Save as file for the first time it brings up the Save as dialog box. For the same reason, if you add a model to the queue of rendering directly it will not make until you set a destination.

    After the first time you create an output with a destination module, AE will remember the default used in last and who use without asking you. The only time that suits you, it would ask you is once again if you destroy the AE preferences or last used location is no longer valid (deleted the folder, disconnected the drive, etc.).

    The reason why the only selectable here is the PSD format is because that's what uses the OM by default to save as a file. You can and should change that, if you always use a different format. Go to Edition > templates > output Module. Create a new model with your desired settings and assign it to the default image.
