    Hi everybody

    Since i installed AE CC to my new laptop

    I have import problems importing footage, other projects. Never had this problem before even my old laptop with same version . Tried, i think, everything. Installing and re-installing. I think its problem with Quicktime components. Also exporting. some codec on Quicktime are missing

    Loosing lots of time. HELP!

    If you are using the new AE2018 15.03 or higher you have run into the “no longer supported codec” problem. Apple has stopped development of quicktime and there are a bunch of other codecs that will not be compatible with higher color space formats and bit depths, so Adobe in their infinite wisdom has, without warning, not allowed us to work with that kind of footage any more. To be fair, its a pill we are all going to have to swallow sooner or later, but to do this without warning or without some kind of transcode option is just silly.

    You can uninstall and got back to AE2018 15.01 which has all the features of 2018 (plus a few bugs) but does allow the older formats.

    Hi Steve
    Thanks for your feedback. I see that apple didn’t support some component any more.

    Otherwise I got back to AE15.0 and then AE14.0 until AE13 but it’s not fix this problem!

    Also when I click Pre-render it directly showing window of export to AVI ? I forced render with (Add to render queue) with limit QT components as we mention!

    [Steve Bentley] “You can uninstall and got back to AE2018 15.01 which has all the features of 2018 (plus a few bugs) but does allow the older formats.”

    There are several features in Ae CC 2018 version 15.1 that are not available in 15.0.1:

    – Master Properties
    – Advanced Puppet Engine
    – CSV/TSV support for data-driven animation
    – Essential Graphics panel improvements
    – Property link pickwhip
    – Adobe Immersive Environment (head-mounted VR display support)
    – New Video Limiter effect
    – Color management improvements (LUTs and Assume Working Gamma)
    – Performance improvements (GPU memory usage, Add/Match/Remove Grain effects)
    – Improved camera raw format support

    Master properties, in particular, is a pretty big feature with lots of interesting applications.
