After Effects doesn't recognize OpenGL version
Hello,
I got the newest Nivida driver installed [331.82] with opengl4.3 driver.
After Effects shows that I have OpenGL 2.1.2. [See below screenshot...]
Why is that? Does anyone have similar problem?
My configuration: Windows 7, AfterEffects CC, 16GB RAM, GeForceGTX 570,

Blur animator applied to text is not working
I have some extruded text that I'm trying to blur on. I've created an opacity animator and added blur, taking the blur up to 300. But I'm not seeing the blur effect at all. Is the Ray Tracing render not supporting blur? Or is there another setting that I've missed?

psd layer disappears during render, OK in RAM preview
Hi, I've never used a Photoshop psd image in AE CS6, but yesterday I did, thinking I could tweak more easily...it's a flat (non3D) one-layer image with alpha. I dragged it into the project. The layer has some intense rotation expressions if that matters. I can work on it fine, it plays using RAM preview and I can save a portion of it as a RAM Preview Save, which is also fine. But when I render to a video file, the object disappears complete....I just get a black screen. Any thoughts? Also, being a relative newbie, if there is a way to sub a TIFF or something into this layer without losing all my work, please let me know how to do that as well. Thanks!

Background Grade Where Setup ?
Hi, i have a nested comp-B where the background is a grade from another comp, don't know which, because the comp-A that is enclosing comp-B has only black as background in comp-settings and comp-A is the final comp in hierarchy, so is not nested to somewhere else.
How do i find the place where the background is defined ?
Also, the background turns off at some point (gets black), so it seems to be in conjunction either with being animated or the unknown comp with the bgd is ended at that time.
I've found this in the AE manual :
"note: When you add one composition to another (nesting), the background color of the containing composition is preserved, and the background of the nested composition becomes transparent. To preserve the background color of the nested composition, create a solid-color layer to use as a background layer in the nested composition."
Thx,
Frank

After Effects CS6 cuts a render short when I open an unrelated Premiere Pro file
While in the middle of an AE render, I lunched Premiere and opened an unrelated file to the clip I'm rendering in AE. as son as the project opened, my AE rendered chimed as if finished, but it was actually cut short.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
I'm on a Mac, running Snow Leopard.
Thanks.

Render glitch?
Hi,
I'm working with characters shot with a Canon DSLR (1080P), edited in Pr, sent to Ae (via replace with Ae comp), but they are not intended to go back to Pr because they will be rendered out as a png sequence in Ae, then printed for a stop-motion piece via contact sheet in Ps.
Phew!
My goal at this point is to roto/mask/luma key the footage then render it out it for print. BUT, it does not render it out correctly. It actually erases some of the image (check out his jeans), one of my parameters isn't being reflected in the render. See my attached screen shots of both my monitors with a rendered QT file open with the playhead in the same place as the composition. I tried rendering out a png sequence, animation codec, and h264 codec. All produced this result frequently in different areas of the composition.
What could this be?
I'm printing these characters out card stock and then cutting them out indivdually. If anyone knows of a better way of preparing the files please let me know. 
FYI: The original footage is 23.98fps, but I change the composition settings to 12 fps.

Some questions about settings/quality/rendered clips/slowmo
So I need some help as This weekend I will do a movie project and want to do the best out of it.
so Im using a Canon EOS 600D. the two programs I will be using is AAE CC & Premiere Pro CC.
1. What would you recommend me to to, Edit the clips with effects/cc/slowmo and so on in after effects clip by clip and then sync and put all together in premiere pro? Or is it any smoother way to do it?
2. Of cource I want the maximum quality and my question is what I should use for settings. I got a pretty beast computer so I dont care really to keep it to a small file.(Its going on to youtube btw). Is there any codec I should download or anything? uncompressed is the best quality I guess but it should different uncompressed codecs?
3. Will I get less quality if I first render a clip in after effects and when I got all the clips done in premiere and rendering everything there?
4. As 600D only record in 30fps, will a slowmo look bad? I will be using twixtor. as often you want 60fps while doing slowmo effects.
Sorry if Im unclear. feel free to ask if you dont understand or so on.
I would appreciate answers, thanks

Warning message when starting trial of After Effects: "Could not rename the file...in workspaces.
I am trying to download the trial version of After Effects, and it goes through the whole download process fine. But as soon as I try to launch the application, I receive the message "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/Rebekah/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.35974.1407352380644801.xml' to 'workspaces.xml'.
What is causing this and what should I do? I've already tried uninstalling the trial and reinstalling it.
Thanks!

Project Load: Error Alerts Suppression Feature
I don't believe there is, but does anyone know of a way to suppress error alerts when loading a project that's missing plugins, can't load a mov file, etc...?
I've already filed a feature request for this and would love if others would too. This has been a big annoyance for me on a large project. Having to click Ok on 20+ alert popups is unnecessary and mind numbing to say the least when you are trying to get in and out of a file quickly. After Effects should simply log all of the errors and create an Error log text file and after the last error just before project is ready to open show one simple alert stating that there were errors and to check out the log for details, or even a small summary of the errors in ONE alert popup. If there is an error, I get it, no need to announce every single one and force me to Ok it. Just give me a list of the problems. Faster, more organized, and just simply a better user experience.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
This is what I filed:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Error log text file for project load errors.
How would you like the feature to work?
When opening a project that has errors with files, missing plugins, etc... errors of any kind. It would be extremely valuable to consolidate those alert warnings into one single txt log file for easy review and only have ONE alert that either gives a summary of the errors or states that an error log was created in the parent folder of said project file.
Why is this feature important to you?
Getting a single alert popup for every single error is extremely annoying and in most cases takes way too much valuable time to babysit and click "Ok" for every alert. This annoyance is amplified by not having a printed summary to review afterwards if there are lots of errors or missing plugins.

PSA Clear your old 12.0 cache after installing 12.1
Just a quick PSA. I found 70 gb of cache files just hanging out in a cache folder for 12.0 a few days after I upgraded to 12.1.
12.1 makes it's own cache folder.
If you're running a tight ship, on an SSD or whatever, it's well worth hunting these down and deleting.

Error message 5027 :: 12 from CINEWARE plugin
Hello,
When I bring a C4D file into After Effects CC via the included CINEWARE effect, I get the following error very frequently:
AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Close
(5027 :: 12)
This happens when the viewport updates (so pretty much all the time when working with this plugin). Sometimes I can process a RAM preview and get through about 40 frames before it happens, sometimes it only makes it 1 or 2.
Thanks,

How to extract a moving camera from C4D using Cineware?
Hey guys,
I've set up a complex camera move in C4D which I am trying to bring into AE using Cineware.
However, when I hit the "extract" button on the Cineware panel, a new camera pops up in the timeline that has only one keyframe at the beginning of the comp (which matches up with the first frame of my C4D camera) but no other keyframes, so it does not animate.
Is there a way to bring in a c4d camera with keyframes?
Thanks,
Tess

How to maintain aspect ratio with mocha?
I can't seem to figure out how to maintain the correct aspect ratio when inserting a masked comp as a replacement screen using corner pin coming from mocha. Any clues on how to do it? Every time I use corner pin it gets stretched. Pre-comping just stretches the pre-comp; all the tutorials just eyeball it. I need it to be exact.
