HP 15-d030nr: What Upgrades Do I Need To Make In Order To Be Able To Use Adobe After Effects CS6?

HP 15-d030nr, what upgrades do I need to make in order to be able to use adobe after effects cs6?
I installed Adobe After Effectss CS6 because I was told by HP Support that it would still work; it doesnt.  It is very slow, and locks up bad.  What upgrades do I need to do, or am I looking at having to go buy another labtop?  Also, can I do these upgrades myself - at what cost?

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

  • I have the desktop version of adobe after effects CS6. Is there a way that I can upgrade to after effects CC for free?

    Would I have to pay or do I upgrade for free?

    Ned is correct upgrades are never free except for the rare occasion when the manufacturer offers it on a new purchase of something that's about to release a new version. e.g., Toshiba offers Windows 8 upgrades on some of their new computers with pre-installed Windows 7. (except the truth is pc's with Win 7 installed are priced at least $125 more than the same exact pc with Win 8 pre-installed)
    I've never seen Adobe offer free programs or apps - especially upgrades. If you buy one of their older versions of Creative Suite you can find really good prices though. Like CS5 premium versions are going for as low as $300 U.S. dollars.
    I will also add that you should be 100% sure that CC After Effects has something you want and KNOW how to use. As Ned pointed out things change and CC may not be what you think it is. Adobe might offer you a free trial period of 2 weeks if you purchase something else....

  • What program do I need to buy in order to cut and paste from Adobe

    I recieve drawings from architects in PDF form. I want to be able to select areas of the drawings copy and paste them to a seperate PDF or word doc to forward on to my vendors for pricing.

    You probably want Acrobat Pro. There is a features comparison chart at Adobe for the various versions of Acrobat available. If the drawings are bitmaps, they can be extracted. For vector graphics, it may be a bit more difficult. You can download the trial of Acrobat Pro and see if it meets your needs, though you may find a bit of a learning curve.

  • What specifically do I need to install in order to be able to compile source code?

    Basically, there's an app I need to use which is only available at the moment through downloading its source code and compiling myself on my Macbook.
    As far as I can see, the only way to get the necessaery commands is to install the entire xcode developer environment - just wondering is there any more specific way to do this? I'm a bit low on disk space at the moment, so I'd prefer to avoid installing the full 4GB xcode paraphernalia if I could avoid it, but if there's no other choice I'll go ahead and do it.
    Anyone know if there's an easier way?
    I get the following error when I try to run the ./configure command for the source code:
    configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
    Is this a case of installing the full developer environment or is there a shortcut?

    I've installed one, now I'm getting the following error when trying to compile:
    checking for intltool-update... no
    checking for intltool-merge... no
    checking for intltool-extract... no
    configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool.
    Thing is, all three of those files exist in the actual source code directory, as .in files. Do I need to move them into a different directory, or should they not be .in files in the first place?
    Apologies for the newbish questions, last time I had to compile anything I had the full xcode environment installed and didn't run into any issues like this but at the moment I don't have the space for it so manually it'll have to be!
    I'm assuming the issue here is simply that those three scripts need to be in a different directory rather than the source code directory?

  • How many cores and what frequency should have a processor to use Adobe After Effects?

    Thank you

    As many cores as you can comfortably afford and as fast and as much memory as you can comfortably pay for.  Without knowing what you are doing it is an impossible question..

  • After Effects CS6 Won't Launch After Mavericks Upgrade.

    Hi All,
    I have seen a few posts regarding this and have scoured the web for few hours looking for answers. So far all I have found are patches from Adobe and their asking that we uninstall and reinstall the app.
    None of this has worked so far.
    In fact I've gone from an error of "Can't use this version" to adding the patches to now getting "After Effects Cannot Be Opened Because Of A Problem". It goes on to add this...
    Check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Two questions:
    1. Is there a fix for this?
    2. If not, how can I revert back to 10.8 without losing everything.

    Ok, I found one more article talking about upgrading to 11.3 upgrade instead of 11.4(latest). Finaly worked. Hope this helps someone else, this was painful.

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

    Hi,
    I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3.  The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number.  After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it. 
    Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
    Thanks, Ron

    Thank you. 
    I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount?  I would be free to even sell it?
    Thanks, Ron

    Snow Leopard, if you can run it:

    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    You need to upgrade the computer to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, and then get either FaceTime or Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

    If we use Number we cannot separate the cheque numbers with , or -
    We need to enter numbers along with comma and '_' in cheque number field.

  • I have a hitachi hard drive from an old pc. I would like to transfer pics and music to my macbook air. What cord do I need to make this possible?

    I have a hitachi hard drive from an old pc. I would like to transfer pics and music to my new macbook air. What cord do I need to make this possible?

    Some external cases include cords others (like some printers) consider the cord to be "optional" - read the package or product description. Other World Computing, HH Greg, OfficeMax, any box store or local computer store should have a case for your old drive.
    You are fortunate in that the Mac will automagically read the DOS format disk... you'd never be able to connect and old Mac HD to a WinDUHows machine.

    Hey guys I am wondering if there is a way to upgrade from CS5 to CC. Need to know if that is possible, if it is then how much is it and how do I do it?

    All Adobe CS Licenses are now subscription based.
    And If I have CS5, do they have beginner tutorial videos for it?
