After Effects CC doesn't have the "Save as CS6" option?

I am trying to use CS6 to open an .aep file and it is erroring out. We tried saving the file from the original AE CC system as a CS6 version but that wasn't an option in the menu, just Save as CC 12.0. Any ideas here? I need some backwards compatibility between the two versions. All I find online is that there is supposed to be a "Save as CS6" option in AE CC.

Rick, while I truly appreciate the help, you are coming across a bit condescending. Please realize that.
I am not new to these programs therefore I do know when I am using what version to do what. I have created a file in CC2014. In CC2014 saved it as CC12. (the only option) Then I reopened the CC12 version in CC2014, to attempt to then save it as CS6. The option to save as CS6 is not there. Only CC12. If I'm not opening it properly, then I'm not sure of the process. If it's different than a standard open file command, then shame on Adobe for making it convoluted. At this point, the other person is going to install CS6 so we are compatible across. If you have an insight as to why Save as CS6 never is an option in CC, I would be eager to know. However, please realize that I do have a hankering of how to use software.
Thanks.

Issues opening AE CC project with CS6 despite the "save as CS6" option

Hello all,
I wish I wouldn't have to bother anyone with my noob question but I tried it all. I've been through the FAQ, the Search tool, lost myself on the Net for hours and... I can't find my problem resolved anywhere. It makes me feel sooOOo lonely.
So, I know "After Effects CC (12.0) has a feature to save projects in a format that can be opened by After Effects CS6 (11.0)".
BUT, as I used that precise feature (as well as the XML feature) and still have to face the impossibility to open my project file on CS6, I wondered if... anyone could help me to find an explanation at least. Or maybe even a solution.
I know about the pt_OpenSesame script, but it seems to be less efficient than the feature "save as CS6" itself (as said by Adobe on several forums), and... it costs money
Any idea why this "save as CS6" feature could possibly not work ? Any link to allow me to understand ?
Could it be caused by the difference in OS updates ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
Config :
From recent MBP with Lion 10.8.5 and CC (12.2)
To less recent MBP with Lion 10.6.8 and CS6 (11.0)
Message :
"The file you are trying to open has been created with AE v12.2 (Macintosh 64) and can not be open with your actual version of it" (sorry it's a translation from french, not sure it is totally accurate)

Hello Todd,
Thank you for taking time to answer me.
I am trying to open a copy, not the original file. This copy is named after a new name, totally different from the name of the initial project.
As I said it to Szalam, the original project is saved in a AE CC 12.2 version and the copy is (not) opened on a AE CS6 11.0.4...

After Effects CC doesn't show the Comp Screen

Hey Guys,
Since a few days, I have a really bad problem with AE CC. Everytime I'll open AE and start a new composition, everything's working fine. But the preview of my comp is not shown...
Neither a reinstallation of AE nor a reinstallation of my graphics driver solve my problem.
Please help me!
I'm sorry for my bad english ://

You need to reset your workspace. Find it here:

Clone of drive doesn't have the right name on option-restart

I have created a clone (with Carbon Copy Cloner) of my principal drive in anticipation of both OSX 10.9 and because of Adobe's recent changes for their software (I need to keep the current versions of Adobe CSS) in case I decide to discontinue the monthly update charge we are now stuck with).
The problem is when I do a option-restart to switch the system I want to boot from, the choices shown for drives has a different name for the cloned drive from what shows in the finder. The finder name is "Mtn Lion Bay 2" (a partion on disc bay 2 - Snow Leopard is on the other partition) but when doing the option-boot, the name shows as "EFI boot". Disk utility also shows the name as "Mtn Lion Bay 2".
I have cloned drives before, but don't remember this happening.

I'll assume that when you select the mystery icon in Startup Manager, you actually do boot into the volume you expect.
You may be able to fix the problem by re-blessing the volume, as follows.
Back up all data.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
sudo bless --folder "/Volumes/Mountain Lion Bay 2/System/Library/CoreServices" --bootefi
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
You can then quit Terminal. Test.

My After effects doesn't have the CC Cylinder Effect!

My After effects doesn't have the CC Cylinder Effect!??
I installed it and I watched a tutorial, but my AE doesn't have the CC Cylinder addon/plugin! Why?
Can anyone help?

Are you on a Mac? Perhaps one more case of PPC vs. intel and the plugins not showing up due to the wrong versions being installed? Or some odd setting with Rosetta? Not sure, that stuff surprisingly always works for me even though I'm still not the most astude Mac user on the planet...

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.

I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs. How can I retrieve this capability? My audiobooks are from Audible.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

After effects warning could not create the file

Hi,
I am fairly new to After effects, (so new that I haven't managed to save a file). Can anyone help with this? I am running CS6 on an oldish mac pro, but flash and premiere run fine, and so does after effects, except it won't let me save, and instead comes up with this message: after effects warning could not create the file.
I have even tried saving a file with just a jpeg in it, and it still won't let me.
Any suggestions? I am a bit confused.

When you save in AE, you're saving the project file -- which inclues all your work in the comp -- but you can't save the comp itself to a media file. It doesn't work that way. You have to export or use the AE Render Queue.
I recommend spending some quality time here.

After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file.

I'm using CS4 in Windows XP SP3. When I work with video in Photoshop, apply filters as smart object, and save as psd, then import into AE as footage>merged layers, I get this message: After Effects error: Missing Filters in the file. The file open as just the footage with none of the work I did in PS.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Am I missing some step along the way?
Thanks!

Isn't it obvious? AE does not support smart filters. It will only use the rasterized content of a PS layer. Hence you will have to rasterize the layer in PS to retain its appearance with all the effects applied. Look in the help which specific PSD features AE is able to support and translate.

Text from After Effects Project doesn't look sharp in FCP

I created a text sequence in after effects. Its rendered MOV looks crisp and clear but when I import it into FCP, the text looks jagged and the colors are less saturated. I also tried using the Media Manager to recompress the clip but it just doesn't have the sheen that the AE export does.
Why?

For one...
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format.
1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
Then for two, what settings did you export this from in AE? And what are your sequence settings in FCP? If you are working with a DV timeline, then your titles will inherit the DV 5:1 4:1:1 compression, and that doesn't treat text very well at all.

Is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed. my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/me

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

"when I try save to PDF it just wants to save it to a file?"
Correct. The difference between "Mail PDF" and "Save PDF" is that the first opens a new Mail message with the file attached. the second saves a file which you may attach to an email message.
"Terrainathome is a good example of what I am trying to do."
Not familiar with Terrainathome, but my guess is that the company is sending an email message containing HTML code that downloads what's essentially a web page into the displayed message. To do that, you'll need a website, software that will produce the necessary HTML code, and recipients with email clients capable of interpreting HTML (which is 'most email clients' these days).

After effects clip doesn't appear in finished film

I have produced a short film in premiere pro with a 6 second after effects clip at the end. When I export it to encoder to produce a FLV/F4V film for youtube,the after effects clip does not appear even tho I can see it encoding and there is a 6 second blank film at the end. I don't understand this as I have done this a few months previously on another premierepro film and could see the after effects clip. I have repeated the encoding on the earlier film and now cannot see the AE clip. I have slightly changed the AE clip - only changing the font colour so nothing major. I am working with CS4
Any ideas as to whatis happening?
PhoebeSparke

Hi Mark
It was a stupid mistake on my part - the AE project was set at 24fpm whereas the Premiere Pro project was set at 25fpm so I guess they were contradicting each other. I'm still not sure how this could have happened but I am glad I have sorted it. Thanks very much for your interest
