Activity Forums Adobe After Effects After Effects Load Screen Freezes

  • After Effects Load Screen Freezes

    Posted by Nathan Trenkamp on July 25, 2014 at 2:20 am

    Until recently, my Adobe Production Premium CS5 worked fine. Two weeks ago, my Premiere Pro CS5 would freeze on the loading screen. After some research, I managed to open the program by dragging the Adobe QT32 Server folder onto my Desktop. However, my After Effects now freezes on the load screen now with Initializing Mediacore. I’ve done many hours of research and deleted preferences and reset them. I’ve also allowed everything to run through my Firewall just in case, and After Effects CS5 still refuses to open. The same goes for my Encore as well, but Photoshop and Soundbooth open fine. It’s been frustrating and the lack of solutions to this problem is making me want to finally make the switch to the Creative Cloud, which I think maybe is what Adobe had in mind all along?

    Please help. Here are my system specs.
    HP Z420
    10 gb ram
    Nvidia Quadra 2000
    Premiere Pro CS5
    After Effects CS5
    Encore CS5

    While I enjoy the new features released in CS6, CC, and CC 2014, I don’t think you should feel forced to upgrade. What OS are you running? Are you getting any error messages? What does your crash log say?
