After Effects CS4 - the 9.0 folder

One of the other users responded to one of my questions and I do not think the other people who were helping me have seen my response yet. (Since it is a holiday weekend in the states)
"Quit After Effects CS4, take the 9.0 folder located there and move it to your desktop.  Restart After Effects and it will recreate the folders and files.  Test the problem.  If it's solved, trash the old folder.  If the problem is not solved, you can quit After Effects and put your old preferences back."
I know I am being stupid, but where is the 9.0 folder? Which one is it again? Sorry, I know I know this, but I cannot remember at the moment and Google is not helping me.

Thanks Mylenium!  I was actually able to figure it out. Duh is all I have to say to myself.
Now, I am trying to figure out what caused my original error in the first place so I can avoid it. hmmmm

  • After effects cs4 won't install with the Adobe Creative Suite 4

    yesterday I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, i let it download through out the night and the next day i installed it and noticed that it came every single application except after effects cs4. there is no folder or icon for it, but everything else works. im in the process of uninstalling it and re-installing it, but i doubt it will help. i downloaded the after effects cs4 trail months ago, then deleted it. i don't think that's the problem though.I called adobe and was on hold for literally two hours, and when i was able to talk to someone they were not really able to help much.
    im on a macbook, version 10.5.8
    2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo
    2 gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    EDIT: i installed it again, looked at the install options more closely and realesed that it does come with it, it just wont let me install it or check it to be installed, because it says its already installed. i checked all over my hard drive for it and its not there. i really need some help.
    any help would be appreciated, thanks.
    also if I waited and got after effects cs5 do you think it would actually work, and would i be able to get the student discount again?

    We cannot know. We need exact system info. As a start, you might consider turning off UAC completely and running as admin...

    I want to maximize the use of the render farm and not just limit it to AE, I want to be able to render in multiple creative applications. Deadline looks good except as of today its Windows/Linux only: http://www.franticfilms.com/software/products/deadline/feature_set/
    I want to throw in Final Cut Studio into the Mix along with Modo, Houdini, C4D and other applications, but strictly on Mac OS X.

  • Can you create the Title effect in Daybreakers, adobe after effects cs4,,please take this one as cha

    im currently studying Adobe After Effects CS4, and i found the title of DAYBREAKER(2009)movie a very interesting effect to create, i hope you can give me tutorials on how to do that..please! more power, NOTE: im using adobe after effects cs4

    From what I saw on the trailer for this film the titles are a modified version of George Peolvoy's Flowing Title tutorial posted on Creative Cow about 10 years ago. You'll find the tutorial here.
    The glass effect on the type can be duplicated using layer effects in Photoshop and / or then applying those layer effects to your type layer directly in AE. You'll find a bunch of those tutorials by doing a simple Google search for Glass Text Photoshop.
    There is no one click, one plug-in solution, but if you integrate the layer effects, a displacement map, some compound blur, and a little position keyframing + motion blur you should be able to duplicate the effect exactly. George's tutorial should get you started. If I remember right the project files were for AE 4.1 so they probably won't open in CS4.
    Good luck

  • Does After Effects CS4 Trial have all of the features?

    I was wondering if there is any difference apart from the 30 day limit, in the Trial version and the Full version of Adobe After Effects CS4? Is there any features that are in the Full version, but not the Trial?
    Thanks

    The After Effects CS4 trial version lacked the third-party plug-ins and several codecs.
    The After Effects CS5.5 and later trial versions do not have this problem.

  • After effects cs4 cant read open GL of the graphic card

    i have  an adope after effects cs4 product
    but i have aproblem that it cant fnd the open gl driver
    when i access to
    edite........prefernces ........ preview....   the check box for open GL is in active and i cant check it

    Mylenium is correct. The OpenGL features (with the exception of the OpenGL - Interactive preview mode) weren't very useful in After Effects CS4.
    Without furhter information about what your GPU is and what drivers you have installed, we can't help.

  • After Effects CS4 install on Win XP 64bit OS

    I am trying to install the After Effects CS4 trial unto a Win XP 64bit OS.  There was only one trial download available and figure that if there is a 64-bit trial versions, it would be packaged with this also.
    The installer designates installation location as "C:/Program/Adobe" which is correct as this is the 64bit program folder location.  However, it actually drops the application in "C:/Program Files/Adobe (x86)".  Also when After Effects CS4 is ran, it shows up as a 32-bit app in the Windows Task Manager process list (labeled as "AfterFX.exe *32")
    If possible, is there a way to get After Effects CS4 properly recognized as a 64bit app under XP64?  I know this OS is not fully support per system requirements, but managed to install Photoshop CS4 as a 64bit app without issues.
    Another thing that confuses me also is the After Effects CS4Readme/technote:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854#_Toc162848026
    Per known issues ...
    "When installing on 64-bit editions of Windows Vista, an incorrect default installation location appears. The application will be installed in the correct location: C:\Program Files (x86). (#BG064131)"
    Does this mean After Effects CS4 is a 32-bit only app?

    Thanks for the quick clarification.  I figured since video is so memory intensive, After Effects and Premier Pro would naturally be the first apps in their lineup to receive full 64bit compatability.  Seems Photoshop CS4 is the only full 64bit app in their productivity line up.
    Sébastien, thanks for breaking down the benefits of still going with a 64bit OS for AE!

    Its all in dutch because my system is Dutch.
    Can anyone help me out, i really want to use this super cool program
    Gravious

    Well, for starters, I wouldn't extract the installer packages to the place where later the program will reside (C:\Program Files\Adobe). that is bound to cause any number of conflicts in the installer because source location = target location. Please move the files out of that directory to a neutral location. The same may even be true for your L: drive due to similarity in folder structure. That aside, your computer is not the newest one. While CS4 should run on P4 processors, there are no guarantees, so even a call to support may not resolve the matter. Since the setup crashes right away, it is more likely that some critical system library is missing or it5 really cannot handle your processor. For the first, run a manula Windows Update and include a few extra components like . NET runtime. You may also need to install additional MSVC runtimes, so stop by at the Microsoft site. Regarding the processor, you should look into turning off hyperthreading in the BIOS and/or tweaking other settings like SSE support or interrupt handling. sometimes this helps.

  • After Effects CS4 error

    I installed after effects CS4 on the school pc, it works fine until I login into student user login and when i open up after effects it comes up with this error.
    "Adobe effects error:finding preferences folder - no such directory (-120)"
    I search in google and i still can't find any solution for this issue, please help.
    I also provides a screeshoot for more info.

    Ask your system administrator. It's perfectly possible to use a different location for your local user account data by modifying those settings with the group policy editor or by manually changing the paths in the registry. However, these things still need to be persistent, so just pointing it to your server-based profile or whatever you may be using will not be sufficient. Indeed either the specific directory must be explicitly set to have full permissions by decoupling iot from the inheritance rules of the global permissions or, again by ways of the group policy editor, your user group outfitted with the respective permissions. Of course the simplest option would be to instate yourself as a Power User, so you have default permission to view system directories and may modify files.

  • Transferring After Effects CS4 Project to a different computer

    I have basically contructed a project in After Effects CS4, but unfortunately, my computer is quite poor and crashes during rendering. So I was wondering if there is a way for me to transfer the entire project to a different computer with After Effects, so I can render it and further edit it there instead. Thank you.

    Use the Collect Files command to gather all of the footage into one folder, copy that folder to an external disk, and move it to the new computer. You'll also need ot make sure that any fonts and codecs used are installed on the new computer.

  • Dynamic Link for Premiere and After Effects CS4 with Titles

    I've created a Rolling Title in Premiere Pro CS4.  I'd like to create a Dynamic Link to bring the title into After Effects CS4 to add effects that will show up in Premiere.  I've watched a few video tutorials on Dynamic Link and read the documentation and tried a variety of permutations but can't seem to get this done.
    Also saw something in these forums about problems using Dynamic Link with Titles (as opposed to regular clip??)
    And something about Premiere and After Effects projects being saved together ??in same folder - is that correct?
    So, could someone explain if this can be done and the right way to do it?
    Thanks

    Thanks Mylenium - appreciate the quick and focused reply.
    I would like to keep the benefits of the Premiere Pro Titler (to play with the length of time by stretching or squashing the Title block on the timeline; to type in time to stay on screen at end; ease in and out etc . . .).  If I do render out a png / tiff / or psd sequence with alpha, and bring that into AFX to play with.  Will I still retain the ability to use the Titler features in Premire Pro, or do I essentially have to convert it to 'regular footage' on reimport as opposed to a 'Title?"
    Thanks

  • If you experience a crash in After Effects CS4...

    If you experience a crash in After Effects CS4, please provide full information through the Adobe Crash Reporter.
    See this post on my blog for more information:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2008/12/after_effects_and_the_adobe_cr.html

    Ran into this problem today. I made sure to send a detailed report to Adobe. I have traced the problem to Red Giant Knoll Light Factory plugins. I am using the latest version 2.5.3.
    Removing the plugins from the MediaCore folder allows CS4 to open again. I tried moving the KLF plugin folder to the AE CS4 Plugins folder instead and it opens, but as soon as you try to apply the filter, it crashes the same way.
    I am wondering if the AE CS4 9.0.1 patcher will help things at all...

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

  • "Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

    Hi all
    I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
    On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
    On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
    - uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
    - installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
    - looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
    - changed my system language to English (USA)
    Other CS4 softwares work.
    What can i do?

    See this page for some additional information about this error.
    > I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
    You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.
