2 versions of after effects running

Why do i have 2 versions of after effects on my computer and when i open the same project in both, they react differently?
If I click on AE in the windows panel and run AE as Administrator on my windows 7 64 bit computer, version 12.2.1.5 opens....i have a project that loads a script when opening and if i open the project in this version...everything is great
the other version is AE 13.0.0.214, it opens when if i click on a saved AE project on my desktop, but shows errors and doesn't locate files properly in the script that loads in the same project i mentioned above.
Should i have both of these?
if not, what should i do to correct?
thanks

CC 2014 uses NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
-so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs

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.

After effects running prerendered @ 17 FPS and fluctuating up to 20 when it should be playing @ real time. After effects 2014 CC , brand new Mac pro strapped 10.10.1

I have this on both machines running 10.10.1 OS X and AE 2014. I see on line that others are having this issue. I think it needs a Patch ASAP.

Hello. Basically I can create a new comp that is set to 1920 x 1080, @ 30 frames per second for 1 minute TRT. I create a new solid layer, say red. I hit space bar or play on the screen, and it does not play in real time. ITs on my Imac as well. same OS and Same Version software.

Well, before you hit the panic button, why don't you tell us precisely what you're doing when AE plays at 17fps -- the keys you hit, the buttons you click to begin play.

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.

Older version of After Effects to open old file?

I have tons of projects in After Effects 6. One of the reasons I joined Adobe Cloud was because I want to update to OSX Mountain Lion and AE6 won't run on ML. I just attempted to open one of my old projects, and get the error message "This file was created with an older version of After Effects [6.0(Macintosh PPC)], and can't be opened. You can convert this file using an older version of After Effects and resaving." Well, I only have access to my copy of AE6, is it possible through the Adobe Cloud to get a version of After Effects that will open these files so I can up-convert it? Or any other method to get these files to open in the newest version of AE? Re-building is not really an option, these are projects that are years old and are continually being updated with text.

> If CS5 can do it, why not CS6? ... If CS5 can read a 6.0 project, and CS6 can read a CS5 project, it stands to reason that it's not that difficult.
It's a matter of testing resources. If we were to allow After Effects CS6 (11.0) to read files all the way back to version 1.0, then we'd have to test opening of files for every version all the way back to 1.0, making sure that every feature worked and was converted correctly. This is an immense amount of testing. We have determined that going back five versions (to 7.0) is enough to satisfy nearly everyone's needs---especially since the few people who still need to convert files from even earlier versions have the workaround of doing a two-step conversion process by way of After Effects CS4, CS5, et cetera. We spend the time that we save on testing other features that we expect that far more people will use. That is the nature of software development with finite resources.

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?

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?

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.

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.

Can I have 3 version of After Effect at same time?

Hi
Can I have 3 version of After Effect on my system, I have many tutorials that were made at After Effect6.5, 7 and CS3, so I want to have all of them.
I dont know it is possible or not but if I it is, which versions should I start to install first?
Thanks for any help.

I have all three versions of AE installed on a Mac Pro without problem.
I'd install them in chronological order, 6.5, then 7, then CS3.

Future versions of After Effects will be 64-bit

I just added a post on my blog about the announcement today that the next major version of After Effects will be a 64-bit application.

Also, what apps are included with "leading video applications?"
The ones that make sense. Certainly not Encore. It has enough other issues to sort out before going 64bit. Even if it were the stable and reliable app we all would want it to be, it couldn't, because, to my knowledge, many of the libraries it uses for DVD and BluRay creation are third-party stuff out of Adobe's control and those are not available as 64bit native yet. 64bit also doesn't make much sense for Soundbooth for similar reasons with regards to the audio processing plug-in interfaces and possible external hardware controllers. And it doesn't really need more memory, as it works more disk centric with file segmentation and that. So that leaves AE and Premiere and I think we can agree that thiey are the most sensible candidates.

What's coming in the next version of After Effects

what's coming in the next version of After Effects:
http://adobe.ly/1DlxQ7h
I'll post even more details on the After Effects team blog tomorrow.

I love this time of year. The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and NAB-timed announcements are in the air!
In all seriousness, Todd, this looks like a great new update all around!

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.
