El Capitan OS and After Effects network issue.

Do not upgrade yet to El Capitan OS if you use After Effects a lot. When working on networked files it slows to an unworkable speed.

I’ve been on it for a while, but have only just noticed this as I’ve only been working in Maya recently and that is fine.

It appears to be a major issue involving smb sharing and whatnot. There’s some people discussing it here.

I’m just downloading an upgrade for AE now so will keep you informed.

“AEGP Plugin MayaImport: Error reading Maya file. ( 5027 :: 12 )”

One of the splendours of using After Effects and Maya together is being able to import cameras from one to the other.

I use this feature a lot and then the issue came with a scene I just working on. I tried many different things and eventually realised it was the scene that was triggering the problem. I wondered if it had picked up a glitch that AE didn’t like.

So my fix was, To make a new fresh scene, import the previously exported camera (the one AE refused) then to export it again from there. Then it worked.

EDIT: Ensure that the correct resolution is set in the render settings and the camera focal length also matches the original camera.
