Re: After Effects error message by Kevin Camp on Jan 30, 2008 at 10:54:37 pm
do you have any third party plugins/effect installed... if so pull them from the plugins folder, then try opening ae.
older third party quicktime components (codecs) can be a problem, or even an old version of quicktime. remove old components or download the latest versions. as far as the version of quicktime, don't download the lates (7.4 has some issues with ae), but check the 7.0 manual for qt version compatibility.
also, make sure your graphics card and sound drivers are up to date, along with any other video capture devices you may have.
