Finally i solved this problem. It was caused by a video codec.

This is the procedure in case someone need:

– in the windows registry (start > run > regedit) find the following key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Drivers32”.

– find all the video codecs installed, they begin with “vidc.”, and disable all the entries but one by adding a semi-colon to beginning of the value (double click the name of the codec to modify its value like this “;codecname.dll”).
You need at least one codec enabled to let AE run, so leave enabled one codec you know it surely works, eg Cinepack – vidc.cvid.

– try to launch AE, if it runs, you’ve found the problem

– now you can re-enable one codec per time until you find the one corrupted that blocks AE

– when you find the corrupted codec you can leave it disabled (with semi-colon at the beginning of the value) or uninstall it

Same procedure works with Premiere CS3 too.

— THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP, I DON’T KNOW IF IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEM OR WORKS ON VISTA —

Hope this help.

I read this sometimes ago, this quick guide is written to work on Mac, but i think the application exists for windows machines too.

Hope this help you.

Yes, sorry you’re right, i messed up a little bit.

I’ll take a look at the examples.

Thank you for your reply.

[Francesco Garasto]

Thanks for the tips.

This is exactly what i’m trying to do.

I’m new to this kind of movement in AE, but i’m trying to reproduce
it in one composition only, with all the layer set as 3d and one 35mm camera only….. IT’S A MESS!!

If anyone has other suggestions please write back!

BTW thanks to Alan for the links.

Sounds a bit harder but worth try it.
Thanks for the advice Darby.

Thank you very much !!!!!!
