after effects 6.5 help
can someone please help me? i just finished installing everything on my new laptop (with vista) and i’m having trouble importing files into after effects 6.5. the first thing that’s kind of weird is that i had to turn off the “enalbe opengl” and “effects us adaptive resolution when opengl is enabled.” now, whenever i import a picture, the “files of type” is set to “all applicable files” and it shows that “no items match my search”, i can change the files of type to “all files” and refresh the window and the files show just fine. now my biggest issue, once i get to that point and can see the files, i click on one to import it and i get a “After Effects: AEGP Plugin AAF: Error during parsing.” error. if i drag in a file from explorer to the import bin, it seems to work fine, but i’m wondering if there is a way to fix that error. any tips are greatly appreciated.

i’ve tried to research this topic and all that keeps coming up is something about a cinema4dae plugin. will that fix the problem? if so, where do i intall that plugin? when i try to import a file it doesn’t show any files to import (but i know they’re there). does this plugin have anything to do with that?
-
thanks for the smart remark. you’ve been a great help. i was asking if that plugin would even help my problem.

Hmm … that plug is designed to allow you to import C4D renders and stuff into AE. I don’t think it’ll solve your problem.
I hate to tell you, but it was probably a mistake to install Vista, since it’s not really ready for pro apps yet, especially an older version of AE, and it has OpenGL issues, from what I’ve read. Is there any way you can get Vista off your system and go back to XP?

Thanks Steve,
i don’t know if there’s a way to go back to xp right now. by the time i decided to get my laptop, most of the stores around here were just about sold out, and they waited to get a new shipment until vista came out. oh well, i’ll guess i’ll have to upgrade. take care. -
Hope it works … 🙂

I am having a similar problem . AE 6.5 under vista not importing, By now surely after all of these months someone knows something to help.
And PLEASE guys dissing Vista will not help solve the problem so save the anti-Vista rhetoric for the IDGAS forum.
I gotta work with what I got.
TIA

I don’t know if anyone is monitoring this, but I have the same problem with AE 6.5 under Vista… but only some of the time.
I DO NOT have the problem with AE7 under Vista.
Not sure what the difference is, but I can’t see what Cinema 4D would have to do with it, as the files I’m trying to import into AE 6.5 are simple AVI files created with Premiere.

I agree Joseph. Try looking at the parameters of the.avi files. Depending on the codec used to export it and any custom settings it may vary from one that works.
I have asked big money editors and college professors about this subject and they either wish to hide knowledge to keep and edge or don’t know any more than I do about it. Which is hard to believe.
There is a DV book on the subject of codecs but I don’t have it yet.
As for Vista I have had my fill of people telling me to install XP. We all do not have the monitary resources of our well paid bretheren. And sooner or later someone has to deal with Vista as an OS platform.

I was having the same problems this evening, trying to import some avi. files into AE6.5.
I fixed it by going into Composition Settings > Advanced and under the Rendering PlugIn dialogue, changing it to Open GL.
Then in the “open file” box, I selected “view all files” to get the desired ones to show up, then changed the dialogue to “windows media” which encompasses avi etc. It then all worked, for me anyway…
One thing I can’t get it to do is to import a Premiere Pro project into AE – that’ll be the next hurdle!TV Director / Lighting Cameraman,
