Could someone please tell me how to fix AE please! If you know anything about ASLfoundation.dll I will supply you with anything for a great while.

Sounds to me like you should reinstall the program.

What version of AE are you using? I suggest trashing the preferences to see if you can avoid a re-install.

To Create new AE Prefs in MAC/OS

1. Quit After Effects.
2. Drag the Adobe After Effects 9.0 Preferences file from the Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/9.0 folder to the Trash.
3. Restart After Effects.

Create new AE Prefs in Windows Vista

1. Quit After Effects.
2. Rename the Adobe After Effects 9.0 Prefs.txt (ex Adobe After Effects 9.0 Prefs.old) in the C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\9.0 folder.
3. Start After Effects. After Effects creates a new preferences file.

Thank you so much Sean. But I use AE CS4. Could you help me with that?

[Sean Mullen]

Try restarting After Effects while holding down the Command + Option + Shift keys (Mac) or Control + Alt + Shift (PC). This should give you an option to delete the preferences.

Thanks again Sean, you are awesome! The people in life that know more, and teach it to others, are the hero’s in life. But before I delete the preferences file, what does it do exactly. It would be great if you would answer me somewhat detailed 🙂

Thank you for the kind words! Basically it resets everything to the default installation settings.

Here is a link to the official and very detailed list of AE preferences from Adobe.

I have some free plugins as well. It took some time to gather them. This will not delete them will it?
Thanks again,

[Sean Mullen]

This will not delete your plugins. This only resets the AE preferences to their default states.

Sorry, it didn’t help. But the error says something about a UMCDecoder or something like that. Could you mail me your ASLfoundation.dll plus the UMCdecoder? I would appreciate that a lot. Thanks for your help Sean! If you decide to send something remember that I have CS4, and that my e-mail is TheMysteriousMrM@hotmail.com.

[Sean Mullen]

Unfortunately, I’m not running CS4. I have CS 5.5, so I do not have the files that you need. Perhaps you should backup your plugins and re-install?
