The job I'm currently on requires me to put together A LOT of timelapses using Adobe After Effects. Everything was going fine, until we got a 5D Mark iii added to the mix of DSLRs. When I would go to import photos, I would get this error message: "after effects error: photoshop file format error (-30504). ( 45 :: 35 )." I had no idea what that meant since I'd only learned AE recently for this job. I assumed that the solution to this was the solution to most computer related things: it needed an update.
First I looked for the most recent AE update, which was oddly inconvenient to find the link to. I chased links from their website, to their Facebook page, and back to their website. Anyway, here it is:
CS6 11.0.3 Update 10/03/13
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5661&fileID=5679
(I personally enjoy that "thankyou" is in the URL.)
Perhaps I should have mentioned this, but updating that didn't do anything. Actually it might have. I feel like I might have gotten a different error message. I'm can't remember since I found the actual solution so quickly after, but updating things for the hell of it is good, right? I think so.
The update that fixes this problem for realizes:
Camera Raw 7.1 Update
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5390&fileID=5029
This was also oddly difficult to locate. First I was tipped off by a forum post saying something about updating my ACR. Eventually I figured out that stood for the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in. That led me to a super cool list of cameras that the plug-in supports, but no link. I shluffed through a little more internet and found the above link. Now everything is happy, which keeps my boss happy, which keeps me happy. Happiness for everyone!
