strange situation error
Today I got an “After Effects error : Strange Situation [0/2].” I searched the COW and found one other post from 5 years ago. Oddly, the situation the person described is exactly what happened to me:
I have three SD 16:9 clips copied and pasted into an AE comp from Premiere. I added some logos and graphics to the three clips and then attempted to pre-comp each of the three with their respective logos and graphics for further animation. It’s when I try to pre-comp the clips with the logos and gfx that I get the error.
There wasn’t an answer for the person 5 years ago…any answers now as to why this is happening? TIA…

They’re definitely RGB, 8bpc. I also tried dynamically linking the clips from PPro to AE, and I’ve tried roughly building all of the GFX in Premiere and then linking the whole thing. Same error.
The issue always seems to be creating a pre-comp from a copied or linked clip(s).

Adobe released the first version of Premiere in 1991 and purchased After Effects in 1994! It is a testimony to the inventiveness of the Adobe software engineers that they still can’t get the two programmes to talk to each other properly even after 18 years…

I don’t think there is any need for the sarcasm.
Regardless of whether it would now take a massive recode or not, the point remains that 18 years is plenty of time to fully integrate two pieces of software owned by the same company. Over this period the software should have EVOLVED to work together without crashing.
Quite what this has to do with the cost of Autodesk I am not sure.

I got this error today, I had rendered a quicktime movie (a test, using the save as command in the picture viewer) from Cinema 4D and inadvertently saved it as a still, but with a .mov extension. As soon as I realized my error I resaved the file in C4D and when I clicked reload footage in AE, I got the error.
The footage lost its icon in the project window and appeared as missing, if I could I would have removed it from the project manager and reimported it again, but the strange situation message kept popping and I had to force quit.

Try creating a new project, then import the old project into it. Then delete and reimport the C4D movie.
