unknown BIB error

[Kurt Klinzing]

I had a similar error. This actually worked.

Go to the Control Panel – Language Settings>

Change your language to Chinese

Reboot.

(After effects started working)

Change your language back to English.

[I also deleted my Adobe preference file. Hold
down right after you start AE. Deleting the preferences often
fixes problems, but didn’t for me this time.]

We just got this here as well.

For us “Switching to Chinese Language” did nothing.

——
We had just re-loaded our system with all the current installers/plugs, etc. and a project that worked LAST WEEK…now won’t open.

—–
I was able to figure out that the original file for the project in question had been started in AE 6.5.
All subsequent upgrades of AE had happened on that same machine.

this last install was a complete wipe/reload of the system with reloading from current installers.

I suspect VERY STRONGLY that the BIB errors are caused by Cocoa/Carbon/legacy code references.
The latest installers of our plugs/etc. would have NOT installed legacy code due to the current OS version and plug installer versions.

——

I tested this by installing a backup drive of our system OS as it was 1.5 years ago (running 10.4.11) I had madde this to revert back to if we had too many issues transitioning to 10.5.

Upon booting from this drive…the project opened without BIB errors. (AE CS3 under 10.4.11 worked fine installed 1.5 years ago…..10.5.5 installed last week with AE CS3 has BIB errors.)

Just a thought.

I edit video. I post sometimes.
I fix things. I eat marshmallows.
I play drums. I drink scotch.
I like TV.

Done typing now.

I had this error too.

a few days ago I installed a few new fonts. One of the fonts I installed created a folder within the font library, called “my fonts” I moved the font file to the regular font folder and deleted the new folder.

It worked! No more BRV 0 error

Try snooping around your font library, something could be messy.
