Hi there,
I searched this (and many other forums) but was unsuccessful..
After upgrading from CS6 to CC my After Effects did not start (freezez at "Initializing MediaCore"). I checked the log and found it tries to load quicktime "from Disk" - that is basically the end of the log.
So when I uninstalled quicktime it would start normally - so I gave it another try - installed quicktime and have the same issue again. I don't have any other codecs installed, no third party plugins. I basically watch all my video with VLC so I'm pretty sure I don't have codecs installed.
Is there a way to get around this? Things I could try?
Cheers & and happy holidays!
