Unable to launch trial version of After effects: Mac OS X

I am unable to install the trial version of After Effects CS4. Downloaded 4 times with both Safari and Firefox. I get to the Adobe After Effects CS4 folder. The setup icon does nothing. Launching the bootstrapper.dmg file gets me to a folder with an Ri icon. Clicking on that yields an error message: The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10822). I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro [pre unibody). I feel really dumb biut what am I not doing?

Do you run as admin (in Mac terms User can manage computer in your user profile options)? That might be something to look into (though the primary user always is admin). Short of that, the usual: Other Adobe apps could be blocking the way and require to be uninstalled or "cleaned" using the CS3/ CS4 Clean Scripts/Utilities from the support pages.

  • Problem installing trial version of After Effects CS4

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the trial version of After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 32-bit Operating System, Processor 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB.
    At the initializing stage it gets to 90% on the 'Checking System Profile...' dialog box, something flashes and then it freezes.
    I've downloaded it a second time in case of corruption.
    I've rebooted several times and retried it with no other applications running.
    I've run updates on any existing adobe products I have.
    Any ideas?  I've never had problems installing adobe products before.
    Thanks.

    Not your fault, known issue.
    a) Download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and install it
    b) Download the CS4 Cleanup Utility from Adobe's support pages
    c) Run the CS4 Cleanup, electing to remove all debris from your failed install
    d) Manually uninstall all instances of Adobe AIR products (Acrobat.com, Adobe Media Palyer) using Add or Remove Programs
    e) Launch the Microsoft Installer Cleanup and look for instances of Adobe Installer 2.0. Have them removed. Optionally, have it remove other Adobe stuff that may have been left over from CS4.
    f) Try to install CS4
    Note: The cleanup utilities will not remove anything physically, only clean out the installer, so they pose no danger to your system. You will only lose the ability to uninstall those programs from Add or Remove Programs.

  • Trial version of After Effects - which do I choose?

    I currently own the Design and Web Premium pacakge, but wanted a trial version of After Effects to complete a motion graphic I am creating.
    The trial offer includes the choice of; a free trial download or to join the Creative Cloud and download now (Recommended - it's free).
    I am a little confused as to what it means, to my knowledge the Creative Cloud is through subscription only and isn't offered for free. So I just wondered what it meant?
    If I choose to join and download that trial will I then have to pay an annual subscription? - When I clicked this option no card details were requested and I do not have any linked to my Adobe ID.
    Somebody help please?

    I currently own the Design and Web Premium pacakge, but wanted a trial version of After Effects to complete a motion graphic I am creating... If I choose to join and download that trial will I then have to pay an annual subscription?
    First things first: you say you want AE to complete a motion graphic.  This would lead people to believe that you've used AE before.  Have you?  It's a yes/no question, and a "How tough can it be to learn?" response counts as a no.
    Second question: if you DO download the 30-day trial, do you intend to continue using AE, assuming you already know how to use it?
    The reasons for the questions:
    AE contains many, many hidden pitfalls for the uninitiated that obliterate the tight deadlines of those who think, "How tough can it be to learn?", and those same pitfalls easily can extend a reasonable learning period beyond 30 days for busy individuals.

  • I try to install the trial version of After Effects and it gives me an error telling me to restart even after I restart.

    I try to install the trial version of Adobe After Effects but when it goes to the installer, it gives me an error telling me to restart my laptop. Even after I restart my laptop it gives me the error. Help?

    We can't know. You have not provided any system information or the exact error. Most commonly this happens when a security tool is blocking the installers or you run with insufficient user privileges, but that's all we can kinda guess here.

  • Unable to launch Trial version of Elements 12  Using Windows 7  64bit

    Hi
    I am unable to launch the trial version of Elements 12.  I am using Windows 7  64 bit originally downloaded and used through a Mozilla Firefox browser.
    The photo editor starts to launch but then reverts to 'Quit' screen, with no further options

    Hi wolfrider,
    Please try running the application as' Administrator' and check.
    Was it running fine before?
    You can also try the following basic troubleshooting steps :
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing and check.

    I try to redownload After Effects, maybe I had a problem regarding the download, who knows.

  • Is there differences between the trial versions of After Effects, Premiere, and Illustrator?

    I have the trial version of the Master Suite, I was curious to know if there are any features that the trial versions do not have?
    Thank you,

    Its something that changed with CS5.5, this doc has more info

  • Unable to install Trial Version of Adobe Muse (Mac)

    Hello! I am trying to download the trial version of Muse and I successfully managed to download the dmg file (Muse_1_0_LS10.dmg) but when I click "Install Adobe Muse" in that folder, it says "You cannot use this version of the application Install Adobe Muse with this version of Mac OS X." I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    Help?

    Oh! Thank you >.< I'll get on that

  • Is it possible to download older versions of After Effects?

    I downloaded the adobe master collection CS6 trial, and most of the products were able to download just fine except a few, some of which I didn't really care about, but After Effects was one of them unfortunately and that was one of the reasons I was downloading the collection. I looked at the system requirements and discovered that the only version my laptop could handle was CS4. Is it possible to download the trial version of this without downloading it from shady sites? I just need to try it out, although it would be nice if it was free now.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brendon.

    You can download a 30 day time limited Trial version of After Effects CS4 here. After 30 days it will cease to function without a CS4 serial number, which you cannot purchase now if you don't already have one.
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.
    You can no longer purchase After Effects CS4 and it definitely is not available for free even though it's a superseded version. So you'll only get 30 days out of it.
    I take it you're trying it because you have a 32 bit system?

  • I've installed the full version of After Effects, but codecs like MPEG2 and MPEG2-DVD are still miss

    The title kind of explains it. I've installed Master Collection CS5.5 as a full version, but After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder are still missing the protected content. I've rebooted and updated, and rebooted again. I've installed as a trial and then entered the serial number later, and I've also tried using the serial number during the install. It seems no matter what combination I try, I can't get MPEG2 to show up in the export list.

  • Audio not working in Trial download of After Effects

    My audio doesn't work in a trial download of After Effects.When I play the same clip outside of After Effects, I can hear the audio.

    Edit --> Preferences --> Audio Hardware
    Edit --> Preferences --> Audio Output Mapping
    Window --> Audio
    Check the settings and whether something is muted. That aside, read up on how to preview audio and video in AE in the online. I get the impression you are merely trying to play it in teh timeline, which is not the proper way.

  • Trying to get a version of After Effects for my Mac, I have the student version of CS6 and it's not included on there

    I need only After Effects for class, but I don't want to buy a whole CC membership just to get one program. I already have most of the programs included in the CC anyway, just the student versions of them, and they're CS6, but that doesn't really bother me. My question is, what are my options to get my hands on After Effects?? I need to figure out something by Wednesday, when I have class next. Thanks!

    Well, per the Adobe website, After Effects CS6 for Students is only available via a Suite
    Creative Suite 6
    Or US$999 for the non-Student version of After Effects CS6 alone
    Creative Suite 6
    Both those options are expensive compared to the Cloud options and give you only outdated - 3 year old - software.
    All Cloud plans give you access to 3 independent versions: CS6, CC and CC 2014, so your Cloud options:
    There are no Single App Student versions, so your only other Student option is to subscribe to the Cloud Complete Plan for Students and Teachers @ US$19.99/month (requires 12 month commitment - so US$240 all up).
    Or Single App After Effects (non-Student) for US$19.99/month - not much point since you can get the full Cloud Student and Teacher version for the same price
    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Financially, the Full Cloud Student and Teacher option seems to offer the best value for you. Just remember that you're only ever renting the software. You never own it.
