AFTER EFFECTS CC 2017 ERROR 76::0 MISING GLOBAL TEXT RESOURCES


After Effects 2018 in render only mode: possible bug

$
0
0

Hello Folks,

 

We're unable to start renders when utilising After Effects 2018 (version 15.0.0) in render only mode, i.e. with the empty text file "ae_render_only_node.txt" in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe and C:\Users\{user}\Documents, as described in:

 

Automated rendering and network rendering in After Effects

 

Our render farm management system is Pixar's Tractor and our render nodes are running Windows 10 pro x64.

 

Unfortunately, not much of a stack trace is generated when the renders fail, nothing in Windows Event Viewer and the log captured in Tractor displays just a few lines, for example:

 

aerender version 15.0.0x180

Using DXGI: Device: "NVIDIA Quadro...

After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup

 

====[2017/11/22 10:54:03 process complete, exit code: 0]====

 

Exit code 0 means a job completes successfully but this is not the case, as the images are not created.  Subsequent frames in a job also do not get created.

 

On a few jobs we may get the following extra line in the log:

 

After Effects error: After Effects crashed previously attempting to initialize OpenGL. Consult the manufacturer of your graphics card for a compatible OpenGL driver.

 

This is odd as we've never created any compositions which utilise any GPU resources.  I've also swapped out cards and updated (then rolled back) GPU drivers, none of which has had any effect.

 

Running AE 2017 in render only mode works flawlessly both in Tractor and manually in a command prompt window.

 

Running an AE 2018 render manually in a command prompt window does work!  But I don't think Tractor is at fault as we haven't changed it in any way (and previous versions of AE all work fine with Tractor).  The command I run manually is exactly the same as the one submitted by Tractor:

 

"C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC 2018/Support Files/aerender.exe" -project C:/mnt/workspace/projects/TractorTestWin10/TractorTestWin10.aep -comp "\"Comp 5\"" -s 0 -e 25

 

Has AE 2018 been changed in any way that prevents it running commands from render farm managers like Tractor?  Tractor is run as a service  - could this be an issue?

 

If anyone can shed any light I'd be very grateful and let me know if I can provide anymore info.

 

Many thanks

Hi i have just subscribe the student/teacher 1 year annual/monthly plan.

Installed creative cloud app on my iMac then installed after effect cs6 through the app. I have tried to open the AE but it indicate I can’t use this version of app with my version of macOS and said I have adobe after effect cs6 11.0

I tried searching for a solution found an update 11.0.4 from here and I installed. But when I tried to open the patch installer app but it says update failed.

 

Anyone can help me with this? As I need the cs6 to do my school assignment. My sch is using cs6 version

Or anyway to downsave CC to CS6? (with the version creative cloud provides me)

 

I tried talking to customer care, but they have been transferring me from team to another team and not solving anything...

Footage won't import into Mocha from AE

$

Hey Adobe,

 

I've been working on a short film, and have several shots that need to be motion tracked.

 

I have already successfully tracked several shots, but recently I've been having an issue. I've been doing what I normally do, which is have my clip selected + hit animation + track in Mocha AE.

 

Every other time my footage has seamlessly gone into mocha, I've tracked it, and moved on. But now when I try to bring footage into Mocha from AE, it does not show up.

 

I'm not sure whats causing this as all the footage was shot on the same camera with the same format. The only thing I can think of was when I tried to open AE before I tracked it, I was asked to sign into my Adobe account.

 

Please advise!

After Effects stretches animation once rendered.

$

I have created a fairly simple animation using purely shapes from after effects. The composition size is 1080x608 at 30fps and that is what I am rendering to. The output is a quicktime .mov file and I have checked all settings to make sure the aspect ratio is correct. I can watch the preview and everything looks great, but once I render, the entire composition stretches and all of my shapes blow up out of proportion. I don't know what the issue can be because I am fairly confident that the resolution is not the problem. I appreciate any help, thanks.

3D Camera Tracker "timed out obtaining dynamiclink server connection."

Since I've switched to After Effects CC 2018 I've not been able to use the 3D camera tracker. I've looked around and couldn't find an answer and was wondering how to fix this or if anyone else has had the same issue.

 

Here's a screen grab:

I've tried uninstalling and using the CC Cleaner Tool but it still doesn't work. Any help on how to fix this would be most appreciated!

Warp Stabilizer Gets Stuck at 1 Frame

Every time I try to use warp stabilizer in After Effects (14.2), it begins analyzing in background, but then freezes on (frame 1 of xxx) and never proceeds.

Likewise, the camera tracker sits on initializing. I hope someone has seen this issue before and might have a solution!

AE unsupported GPU for CUDA acceleration (CUDA drivers problem)

$

Hey Guys,

 

I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphic card that apparently is not compatible with After Effects. I've resolved the situation by replacing Optix .dll in after effects folder from the one that NVIDIA official site offers Download OptiX™ Versions | NVIDIA Developer

I've also opened raytracer_supported_cards.txt and added the name of my Graphic card there. Now I'm able to enable GPU Acceleration, but CUDA drivers still don't work. I've installed CUDA toolkit from NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 9.1 Download | NVIDIA Developer - these are the only drivers I managed to google. Maybe I've missed something.



 

- Thank you!

Path interpolated animation does not work anymore

$
0
0

I am running on Adobe CC 15.0.0. Build 180 and I just found a very strange problem.

 

The workflow I have been always using to animate a shape path is:

 

1.- Draw the shape which this creates a new shape layer.

2.- Go into the contents of the shape layer and transform the shape path into a Bezier Path so I can animate it.

3.- Create The two keyframes animations.

 

This workflow used to work perfectly until now. All this morning I have been super stressed because I could not animate a super simple shape animation which

just implied the movement of the top two Bezier points of a rectangle to the bottom. That's it. Well, After Effects resulted in a scaling weirdly, because it could not

interpolate this very simple animation.

 

I tried in many other projects and I got super frustrated. I asked a friend from the office to check this out, and what we found was that, it works only if you check the Bezier path option in the tool bar in the top from the beginning, before you start drawing, skipping the conversion from shape to Bezier path after.

 

This must be a bug or maybe I have something that does not work.

 

Please let me know what this could be.

 

Thanks for your time.

After Effects CC 2018 will not launch

I'm using a 27" iMac (late 2012) running osx High Sierra 10.13.2

3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory 32 GB

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 GB

 

I'm able to launch and use Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects 2017 as well as many other different programs. I need to upgrade to AE2018 and the software will not launch. It wont even get to the boot graphic. Instead I get these two errors:

Then after I press "OK" i get this message.

After Effects Heavy Snow

$

Hello,

I'm creating a transition scene with snow. It starts off with black bg and a little bit of snow, then the snow falls heavier and heavier, to finally cover the whole screen in white. I've created +- effect I wanted using Particular plugin. I used 2 solids one with small snow, and the second one with heavy and big snow that starts a bit later. Problem is, I cant really render it. The moment I start the rendering process AE just crashes. I tried different things - switching computers, rendering via Media Encoder, etc. I think the current effects are just too heavy for the RAM I have available. So my question is do you guys have any ideas how to make it differently? Is the size or the ammount of particles more problematic? Maybe switching to CC Particle World would be better? I've been looking for some stock footage, but I just can't find anything like what I need. Any advice will be good.

Empty Composition Window in After Effects... Just Grey with Open Options

$
0
0

Whenever I open any After Effects project, I get a grey blank screen in my composition preview window. All I see are the two options to create a new comp, or new composition from footage. Occasionally, if I reset my preferences to default by launching After Effects and holding down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT, it will resolve the problem, however, it may take a couple tries. Resetting the workspace does not work, creating a new workspace does not work, and creating new comps makes no difference. Zooming in to fit the screen to 100% does not work either. So for now, I am just forced to constantly try and restart my AE in different ways through a project file, through administrator, or through resetting preferences and hopefully one of them will work to display my composition.

 

While this is a work around it takes time and shouldn't be happening to begin with. Any idea what the solution is here? Seems like the 2018 releases of Adobe are pretty glitchy. Premiere Pro is also giving off a weird glitch where if you import certain files within certain bins, your timelines freezes up, and won't respond, but Windows will, and you have to click on a menu item on top of the program to make it work. But that's a whole other issue for a whole other forum post.

 

Here's a screenshot of what I see in After Effects:

 

AE script needed - Seperate masks onto new layers.

Do you know of a script that can duplicate a copy of a layer for each mask it contains?  So, if a layer has 100 masks, it will create 100 layers each with their own unique mask.

 

Thanks,

Why shouldn't you use Keylight on Adjustment layer?

$

Hi -

 

I'm working with 6 x four minute mov files of a performer against a greenscreen for a music video (different takes for the same song; same lighting conditions)

I synced up the clips in Red Giant Plural Eyes, then brought them into Premiere Pro CC 2018, where I deleted 5 of the 6 copies of the audio track.

 

I then replaced the Premiere Sequence with an After Effects clip, so I have the 6 mov files on top of each other.

 

If I use Keylight (plus Advanced Spill Suppressor and Key Cleaner) on an adjustment layer at the top of the stack, everything keys out properly on each layer, but even though i see the white and grey checkerboard pattern for transparency, I'm not actually seeing through any of the layers to the ones beneath (otherwise I'd see bits and pieces of the performer since not in the same poses for each take - and I verified this bby placing a red solid behind different layers, and I only see through masked out areas, not keyed areas.

 

If I apply the same combo of Keylight, Adv Spill Supressor, and Key Cleaner to individual layers, the keying works as expected, generating true transparency.

 

My thought was that since the lighting and backgrounds are the same, it would be better to use a single Adjustment layer rather than 6 separate applications  of the keying effects - though I did see recommendations against putting keying on an adjustment layer on another thread.

 

Would like to know why I get the transparency checkerboard but not true transparency when effects on Adjustment layer.

Thanks for clarifying.

Create new After Effects composition in Premiere Pro question.

Hey guys

 

ok my workflow before was editing in Final Cut Pro then export clip out to AE, work on it and then import back, rinse repeat etc

then a work colleague of mine introduced me to dynamic link etc. This is fantastic and makes my workflow a LOT easier.

Quick question re quality please. If I select a clip in PP and create new clip in AE linking the projects, then when working on this clip in AE, if I have the quality on fast draft for example and half resolution when I render it out in PP will the clip be high quality and full resolution does anyone know please?

 

Many thanks
