Hello  im having trouble with after effects, recently updated to the lates creative cloud and all the other programs run just fine. When it comes to AE 2020 im not able to import a single video or open any existing projects that contain any .mp4 files. "After Effects error (86::1) This 'mp4' file is damaged or unsupported" I have updated my video drivers but the problem seems to be AE. I'm runnig  NDIVIA GTX 1060 Interl(R) Core(MT) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 16GBRam and it's a MSI gs65. Hopefully you can help me, I don't know what else to do.   Thank you in advanced!

I fixed this "issue," which is ongoing for a few years (read the complaints and dates).  First, check the properties of the mp4 and note the frame width, height, and data rate; you will need these in the settings of the next step.  I used Quicktime Player Pro to export the "corrupt" mp4 file to Movie to MPEG-4, with options setting to MPEG-4 Improved (NOT H264).  Worked like a charm! I have not tried Media Encoder.

    Today is 12/10/2022 and this and other issues still persist. What are we mere mortals that contiue to pay our dues to think and or do with our products that continue to fail us us years later?

    That's not ideal, @phils22778228 . Sorry to hear that.

    What's the exact version of After Effects you're using? Are you getting the same error message as mentioned in the thread description by the original poster? Do you mind sharing a screenshot?

    We're here to help.

     

    Thanks,
