| That’s good advice, and I’ve been meaning to do that, but with all the apps and plug-ins I run, it would likely take the better part of a couple of days, due in part to authorization issues for the various protection schemes for plug-ins. I’ve been very lucky this year to have been working six or seven day weeks for the better part of this year. Most of my stuff is working well, and I’m getting projects delivered and sending out invoices (I’m a sole-proprietor / contractor / freelancer.).
I already have a 1TB SSD sitting on my desk and gathering dust.
I’ve toyed with doing this over holiday hiatuses, but that’s usually the time I’m devoting the downtime to personal projects.
I like the idea of getting rid of the trash in my Libraries left over from CS4, etc. that hasn’t been wiped by uninstallers.
BTW, I’m surprised nobody posted this last week:
Still, if you’re really running a system drive that has been around that long through that many upgrade cycles…do yourself a HUGE favor…
Back up your drive. Better yet buy a new SSD. They’re cheap. Collect your serial number. Make a clean install plan and keep notes while you do it.
And just to be clear, I mean from a bare drive, no over-the-top reinstalls allowed.
DO IT.
Then tweak it. Then image it before it gets borked again. Keep a change log for when you revert to that image.

Reporting back. I feel foolish. My number one piece of advice to people having issues with Ae is to delete the prefs. Well… I skipped that step, and it turned out that’s all I needed to do.
I’ve got my alpha and mojo back.
Sorry for the WGC (Wild Goose Chase).
Thanks for the helpful replies.
In recent versions of Mac OS the security is on lock down regarding system folder items (just been through this with fonts)
You can disable it with some sudo terminal prompts (you’ll have to search) but the easiest way I found was to boot from another volume and copy/delete any system files/folders. Yu should be able to install prores components that way Sent from my iPad Yes, and CC 2014, and get the same results.
Thanks for the info on Adobe.
From CC2018 and up, any and all QuickTime file format support is at the application level as far as Adobe video and audio applications are concerned.
Have you tried CC2018 to see of you get ProRes4444+ as expected?

Sent from my iPhone I suspect the install of my ProRes codecs that were included back when I first installed FCP7 is borked, and I think reinstalling them is the only way to be sure.
Alpha is severely messed up or missing on ProRes4444+ renders.
Does anybody know of a way short of buying FCPX for $300 and installing it?
I’ve tried copying the ProRes components from my clone disk to my boot disk, but High Sierra isn’t allowing that kind of copy-dragging or copy-pasting between folders.
Aren’t some of the Mac codecs included in OSX for use in iMovie, etc? I tried re-installing High Sierra, and the issue persists. I also re-installed Ae 2019, and still no go.
TIA, Jim C.
