Internal verification failure

[Tero Ahlfors]

[Bruce Gaber] “Can’t overwrite file”

Have you tried repairing your permissions?

[Walter Soyka]

[Bruce Gaber] “And when I try to save a project I get “After Effects error: Can’t overwrite file “/Users/bruce/library/preferences/adobe/aftereffects/12.2/AdobeAfterEffects 12.2 prefs.txt”. (3 ::3)”

Have you recently updated to Mavericks? I’d direct you to this post [link] by Todd Kopriva:

[Todd Kopriva] “Mac OS has incorrectly set the permissions for some files.

When you upgrade a Mac OS (as opposed to installing the new version fresh), Mac OS will _often_ set permissions of folders and files incorrectly.

You’ll see this problem in programs like After Effects in the form of error messages saying that a file can’t be written, overwritten, or renamed.

To fix this in the case of After Effects, go to the preferences folder and set the _entire_ preferences folder ( /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/ ) and all of its contents to be writable, not read-only.”

Thank you all.

Repaired permissions
reset permission on entire preference folder to r/w

still does the same dastardly things

This is, by the way, a brand new iMac with the factory installed OS X (a pretty standard beast as far as Adobe developers might be concerned)

More thoughts happily explored. In the meantime I think Dave is right, I’ll just work in AE 6.0 until the dust settles. (Hmmm, that suggests another experiment. Does this happen with AE 6?)

No issues yet with AE CC, but heavily frustrated with Premiere Pro CC.

If you want to try uninstalling again use this:

I am getting the same error “…internal verification…(5027 :: 53)”with 10.8.5 both before and after permission repair. I get the error whether launching AE solo, or invoking AE from within PrP via command+E.

I didn’t get this error before updgading to AE CC 12.2.0.52

I’m trying the 12.2.1… update. Will report back. Cheers B

I don’t know which step fixed the crash, but I did the following:

• Uninstalled CS6 applications
• Downloaded and ran “AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool”, removing CS6 remnants and CC desktop app.
• Reinstalled latest CC desktop app
• Updated to AE 12.2.1

cheers! B

See this for a bug fix in the Maxon Cinema 4D exchange plug-in for After Effects CC, which fixes the first error message listed on this thread: https://adobe.ly/PUHVms

Hey guys, I know a lot of people run into these sort of issues when installing/updating/or transferring applications to a new hard drive.

I had the same error after I cloned my OS drive to a new SSD. The solution is simple if you know just a few neat little tricks.

I left the error window up and opened up a new finder window so I could trace the path. While you have the finder window open go up to the top bar and drop down the “Go” menu tab, while it is dropped down press the “alt” key. You should see a new “Library” option in the drop down menu appear. Im not a technical wiz but I like to call this library the hidden library. I have no idea why you can’t get to it any easier way.

But once you select that library just follow the error path and along the whole route I hit “Command + I” to pull up the info on every folder in the path, unlocked it and changed permissions to “read and write”, double checked to make sure I got them all, went back into AE hit “ok” on the error message then reopened the same project and presto it was fixed :D.

Hope this helps somebody, the hidden library trick comes in handy a lot.

That fixed it for me.
