  • My footage don’t show image in AE,

    Posted by Dani Contreras on December 1, 2011 at 6:38 pm

    Hi,

    Last week I had to shoot in de bluescreen studio.
    I imported my footage (RR1_0120_01.mp4) in After Effects but there is no image, only audio. I’m only able to here my footage,.. without image.

    I can play my footage with VLC player, so I can see the video, but the problem is with AE.

    Whats wrong here? I really need to get started with the editting.

    I’m working with:
    Windows 7
    Adobe After Effects CS 5.5
    K-Lite Codec Pack 8.00 Full

    Thanks in advance,
    Guez

    I have this problem before I installed the K-Lite codec pack.
    I installed K-Lite because people told me that it might be a codec that is missing.

    Is there a solution to get my footage work in After Effects?

    Get rid of every possible shred of k-light. Then uninstall and reinstall your Adobe software. It should work.

    Where did you footage come from? What codec does it use?

    I have uninstalled those codec packs. I even reinstalled Windows 7 and I installed Adobe Master Collection 5.5, but it still give the same problem. It’s a cracked version of adobe.

    I used a the Sony EX3 and it seems to have XDCAM codec.
    How do I get rid of this codec?…Without losing quality.

    [Dani Contreras] “It’s a cracked version of adobe.”

    Well, there’s your problem.

    If you can’t afford it because you’re a student, buy the student version from Adobe! It’s a lot cheaper. 🙂 If you can’t afford it and you’re a grown up, be a grown up and save your money until you can buy it.
