AE CC Error (86::1)

I'm trying to relink an AE CC 2017 project with photos and footage that had been moved.

I do the replace command and navigate to the missing file. When I click ok I get (86::1) which is After Effects error: Unsupported video bit depth in source file. 

This project worked fine last November. No issues what so ever, now when I try and relink, it's not working

Anyone have an answer?

much appreciated

    Just went through this. The files have incorrect permissions which can only be remedied AFAIK by copying each file to desktop and replacing. Then you can move the files off desktop into a new folder and replace in AE again. You can't move a folder of assets to desktop, just one file at a time. Time consuming but works.

    I had a similar problem, and most of the solutions suggested didn't work. Putting the files on the desktop DID allow me to import them, but moving them anywhere else was useless. In the end I uninstalled AE 2018 and then reinstalled it. And for whatever reason, that did the trick. My files import now. I hope this helps!

    Hello I found the CORRECT fix for mac for AE CC Error (86::1)

    The problem is in an unsupported QT codec.

    Go to https://support.apple.com/downloads/quicktime and Download quicktime 7 and install.

    If you're on AE CC 2019 give it a try, if it doesn't work download the the version of AE 2017CC which supports the moov codec

    I after days of searching --- this thread solved it for me.  I changed my mother board and After effects refused to import perfectly good files it used.

    It was permissions.  Once I realised this the fix was easy in Windows

    Apply Permission (security tab in properties) for the folder and give full control to the user that after effects emulated (Users on my system)

    Hi,

    I just had the same problem with a jpeg. Here's how I fixed it... Instead of just doing a "save as" I used "export" "save for web" as a jpeg and everything worked fine.

    Hope this helps someone.

    Hi,

    I had the same issue in photoshop and now in after effects.

    Open the image and duplicate it, then save the duplicated one to new location. it's worked for me.

    Hi JackB,

    This could be related to the following: Dropped support for Quicktime 7 era formats and codecs

    Try transcoding footage in an earlier version of our software. Does it work now?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I'm in a middle of a project , I'm getting  (86::1) after a restart. There are 72 mov files in the footage from the same camera and only having issue with 4files. 3 of them reloads and only one is unable to relink. It was working for the last 10 days and now is not.

    Same issue with 4 animation photoshop layers.

    Since it's just a few, try putting the files on the desktop and replacing from there. Then move to a media folder on a drive. Otherwise, it might but some other form of corruption.

    I have same issue too. I can't open my best AE templates which includes AIFF and Alpha mov files after lastest AE update. Installing previous AE versions is the only solution for now. But this is big shame for Adobe's professional video editing side. I'm waiting for Adobe's urgent fix update.

    Having this same issue, trying to upgrade a project from 13.8 to 2018.

    The assets need to be relinked, but are not relinking with an error of 86::1.

    "Unsupported video bit depth in source file."
    When deleting a lot of assets except for a single one, After Effects crashes, Ive sent in a crash report.

    I tried reinstalling AE 2017, that didnt help.

    I tried reinstalling AE 2015, and this did work...

    Still, this seems like a bug, and should be fixed.

    In my case the actual problem was a .gif , all other files were good , The same .gif was working fine the previous day and gave me a headache the next day. the same gif was not letting me link the other files also , and everytime i tried to link the files it showed me the same error because the gif was also there in that footage folder...so in case you get any error like this ... seperately try to import all the files.. all the best
