why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

Every piece of software has a learning curve, and its own terminology.  After Effects is a complex professional tool, used by home enthusiasts right through to feature film makers. 
There's plenty of very user friendly video editing software that will do the tasks you've mentioned easily.  Might I suggest Adobe Premiere Elements.
For the record, you can't apply an effect to anything in After Effects until you have selected a target layer in the timeline.  This functionality is true of any video editing or compositing software I can think of,

  • I just download the PS trial version, how can I insert the redemption code?

    Thanks

    Redemption codes have little to do with trial versions as far as processing them goes.  You normally use a redemption code to get a serial number... the serial number can then be used to active the installed software.

    Why are commands "grayed out" (not available) on the edit tab on Elements 9?

  • After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

    after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

    If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
    You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
    Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
    If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.
    Clicking the thumbs up below helps show me that you are grateful of my efforts   If you have any additional questions, I am happy to help.

    Thanks for the tip, but like I said, I dont want to always have to use the arrow keys. Is it not possible to actually DRAG one pixel at a time? I recently upgraded to CC from CS3 and I keep running into things that feel like a downgrade. Super disappointed.
    Our posts overlapped there.  Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3? 
    What other issues are you having?  Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

  • I had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives

    i had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives. can i put the drives in external cases and plug them all in, will the imac see them as a raid slice then  help please

    Before you have another accident:
    Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
    I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
    And no backup, none at all...
    Get your hands on a G4.
    Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
    If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Why are files grayed out in finder on MacBook ?

    I am trying to upload a file (receipt pdf to insurance website) and the file is grayed out when I browse to select it from the website and it won't let me select it. When I look at in Finder it is there not grayed out.  When I am on the website most of my files are grayed out. I am new to the Mac world. What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

    Do you have the finder option to show all File Extension turned on? Could be the file you are selecting is not a PDF file? Or the file you need to Upload to the website page has to be in some other format than PDF. Like a Text file.
    In most cases any file that is not in the correct format for a program you are using, or as in your case uplaoding to a website, either don't show up or are greyed out making them NON selectable.

  • Is enable commenting grayed out in trial version?

    I have a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, and
    Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Measuring
    is grayed out and not functional.
    The trial says that it's a fully-functional version, so it's possibly something else. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the idea, it looks like this particular PDF is secured with a password, so that must be why. If I open another PDF I can get the enable comments menu item to work.
    I wonder if there's an easy way to put the content of the PDF into a non-protected PDF?
    I seem to have other "save as" options, maybe a round-trip to RTF or HTML, then convert to PDF?
