Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

Adobe After Effects CS4/(CS3) Installation

Hello,
Yesterday i downloaded Adobe After Effects CS4 trail. When it finished downloading i ran this file: "ADBEAFETCS4_LS7.exe". It started to extract all the files but when it almost was done, it said the program had to close with the Don't Send and Send Report thing. After that i tried opening: "ADBEAFETCS4_LS7.7z" with WinRAR and run the Setup.exe from there. But when i double clicked it, i also got the Dont' Send window.
Then i thought maybe Adobe After Effects CS3 works, so i downloaded that trail. When it was finished i ran Setup.exe and it started to initialise, but when the progressbar was 100% is closed, but no setup window appeared.
How can i install one of these beautiful programs. Please help me out.
(I also tried to download it on my laptop but there i couldn't download the download Manager...)
Stupid errors...
Thanks in advance

Please provide more info about your system. The installer popping away is eitehr a sign of a severe permission issue or insufficient drive space in the temporary directory.

Adobe After Effects Start-up Error? Please Help!

Hi, This morning I started after effects and it came up with this Warning:
So, I click ''Okay'' and then this error appears:
And again, after I click okay, not knowing what any of this means, this error appears:
I am using Windows 7 64bit, please reply as soon as possible, thank you.

Thank you for your input, But I have Re-installed my After Effects and it worked for 1 start up, Now I am receiving this error:

Adobe after effects cs4 trial version, cannot use ,ffx presets.

i cannot apply and see priview of .ffx presets eg.sound presets.

There is no such thing as a preview for third-party presets. Only the presets that come with AE contain previews and even those do not preview audio, only animation.

After Effects CS5.5 rendering problem, PLEASE help!

hello,
my problem is the following: i can successfully render a video clip, but when i open the rendered file it's half too slow. what im trying to say is, if the original clip is 5 seconds long, the rendered file will be 10 seconds.
this is very annoying. i am new to AE and really need some help with this one!
additional info: i have windows 7 & im trying to render the files to H.264. when im using Twixtor, the "twixtored" part of the clip is how it should be, but the rest is still half too slow.
can anyone help?
thanks already!

An indeed it might help to have more info, especially since you mention Twixtor. You may simply have forgotten to set a keyframe somewhere there.

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.

Does anyone have a link to a Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial Download, if so, please help

Hello, and thx for reading
I'm in need of an Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, there's no way to download it on the original website, because it has been replaced with CS5, and as much as I would've loved to get that, my computer can only support up to a 32 bit resolution, so I cannot install or use CS4 and CS5, that's when I found out that CS3 comes with a 32 bit resolution
But now I can't find a download for the Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, please help

Why do you think that After Effects CS4 can't run on a 32-bit operating system? It can. After Effects CS5, on the other had, is a 64-bit application.
There have been many threads in which this question has been asked and answered. Please search the forum before asking a question next time. Here 's one such thread, with all of the information that you need: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2951875

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

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.)

Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes During Startup

Hey I have a major problem i think.. after I installed AAE CS4 I picked the trial to see how it was b4 i bought it. Once everything was installed and complete I restarted my computer but when I went to open the program it pulled the grey aae startup box. It had 4% complete and said Initializing Media Core then it just stops and minutes later crashes with not progress. It continually does it with no improvement. Anybody that can help me?

I did all of the above:
- 9.03 update
-   1. Go go Control Panel -> System-> Advance System settings
     2. Click Advanced tab, Performance -> Setting
     3. Click Data Execution Prevention -> Turn on DEP for all programs except those I select - > Here you click Browse and choose where your AE CS4 location is, and click Apply -> OK .
- Run as administrator
Nothing worked. I still get the crash at start-up with the message
<960> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir=
C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Required.
and after that sorry, AE can'r continue..
Help me please, I have the 30 days trial and I desperately need to learn how this program works for a project. After that I want to buy it.
My system is 32bit Vista Windows, I installed AE CS4 (that's the last one to run on 32bit right?) and did an update to 9.03.

Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes After Reinstall

Hello Adobe Community,
I come to you asking for help, my After Effects CS4 stopped working after reinstalling Leopard, I already reinstalled my Suite and Runned the Clean Up Script and still not working, first I launch the App and shows me the following error: "After Effects has encountered an error: [/Chinchillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MedialLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEP luginVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]" then I click continue and then it shows me another error: "After Effects can't continue: An Output contract violation has ocurred!" then it shows another error: "After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore" then it shows this "After Effects warning: Media Core is not correctly initialized" then it launches and freezes and shows that the app quitted unexpectedly, I'm sure that the app is dead but I already reinstalled with no success.
Im Running:
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7
Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz
1 GB Ram
After Effects worked and runned perfectly Please Help!
Mike

Hi Mike,
Sorry you are experiencing problems with After Effects.
I have a couple of questions....
- did you install from a download, or a CD? if from a download, please download again, as their may have been issues
- did you update it to v 9.02?
- did you have a previous beta version on your computer?
- you said you reinstalled Leopard - did you do a clean install? (ie reformatting your harddrive and starting clean)
I have experienced issues on the mac with a variety of different applications is I do a 're-install" vs a clean install.
Finally, are you aware that the minimum RAM requirements for AE CS4 is2GB
So since you only have 1GB, it could be a RAM issue.
If you decided you want to try reinstalling before doing the more difficult task (reformatting Mac OS X with a clean install), I would run the cleanup script first, redownload, install, and then update.
Here's the link: <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html>
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.

Adobe After Effects CS4

Hello guys,
I downloaded Adobe After Effect CS5 (trial), just to find out that it's only for 64-bit operating system. This did annoy me, but I found hope when I heard that the CS4 version of it also supports 32-bit!
Anyway, I searched everywhere, yet I CAN'T find Adobe After Effects CS4. They all redirect me to the CS5 version.
Does anybody have a link where I can download it (virus free please).
Thanks in advance.
~Yagamifyed2

I've glanced over it and it states you'll get AE CS4 and PP CS4 in 32 bit, so CS5 is only 64 bit it seems. If you're new and want to get to learn AE, then I'd suggest you got for the cheapest option, because the basic features are common in all After Effects version since probably 7.0. That's the basic features, so I'd even go so far as to say if you can get a cheap copy of AE CS3 go for that.

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!
