After Effects CC or After Effects CC(2014) - which to use?

I'm sure many of you have came across this issue with Creative Cloud that for some reason there are 2 version of every software - CC and a CC(2014) version.
It appears that the 2014 version is the most up to date for AE, however I was under the impression that the software would simply update continuously as CC. Can anyone clear up for me please which versions to run as default as its quite a nuisance having to update 2 versions for every Adobe programme. And now that we are into 2015 will the 2014 versions be phased out, or updated to 2015?

The current version is After Effects CC 2014 (13.2). You can keep After Effects CC (12.2.1) around if you like; there are a couple of features that we removed from the new version that a small number of people want to keep the older version around for.
See the section "Why a new major version, not just a minor version update?" here for an explanation of why we sometimes put out a new version, not just an update :
migrating settings and plug-ins for After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

Warning "RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames" after scrubbing audio in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where a memory leak occurs while scrubbing audio (holding down the CTRL or Command key while scrubbing). This memory leak can eventually consume all free RAM, which can lead to the warning message "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" when you try to initiate a RAM preview.
While we investigate this problem, you can avoid the bug and memory leak by not scrubbing with audio. When the problem occurs you can resolve it by closing and restarting After Effects.

Hi all, just wanted to say, I am currently working on an award show for TV and have been scrubbing audio in AE CC 2014 13.0.2.3 without issue. Why am I not having the memory leak problem?
Would like to help if I can.

Premiere Pro & After Effects close after a few seconds after the startup?

Hi,
I bought Creative Cloud yesterday and everything installed just fine. I haven't tried all Apps yet, but so far Premiere Pro and After Effects close after a few seconds after the startup. There is no dialogue or error window of any kind, the programs just shut down automatically.
The weird thing is that I had the trial before, but also uninstalled it, but then the apps worked just fine.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with the exact same issue. I hope someone can help me out.
My notebook specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i7-3610QM
CPU 2.30 GHz
RAM 6 GB
Graphics card: nVidia Geforce GT 630M - 2 GB

>assigning my nVidia card as the main driver for Premiere Pro (instead of the standard card)
You MAY need to turn off the onboard graphics "chip" in BIOS

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.

What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
You can reset the workspace to its default by deleting your preferences folder.
Information on finding and deleting the preferences folder can be found here, in After Effects Help:

After Effects - Multiprocessing not allowed even when a Proxy is used?

Hi everybody!
          I have a composition (Comp1) that uses an effect which doesn't allow multiprocessing (e.g., Lens Blur) -- this I understand.
          Comp1 is used inside of Comp2. When I pre-render Comp1 and use that render as a proxy for Comp1 inside of Comp2, I still can't use multiprocessing. This is the confusing bit. I'd think since the Lens Blur effect isn't actually being rendered, it shouldn't give me any guff.
          Alas, it does. Anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround, or is it a bug/oversight by our friends at Adobe?
          Thanks in advance as always -- this forum is a great resource!

Hi Dave,
I appreciate your help, but I think I'm still missing something. When I set a proxy movie for my Comp1, come render time, it should never look inside Comp1 at all — it should just use the proxy movie. The LensBlur effect is not applied to Comp1 itself, it's used INSIDE Comp1.
To what end would AE look inside the real Comp1 when it's been assigned a proxy movie?

Subject: After Effects - Multiprocessing not allowed even when a Proxy is used?
Typically, a proxy is a low-resolution substitute for the real image to make AE work a little faster, right? When AE renders, it doesn't render the proxy, it uses the high-resolution real image, right? The same thing is happening in your project.
If it doesn't impact your work to use a lower-resolution substitute for your comp 1, I'd suggest not using the substitute as a proxy.
If full resolution matters, make a full-resolution prerender.

Premiere and After Effects keep running after you close them

Hi,
After I upgraded to Premiere and After Effects CC2014 I noticed that the programs kept running in the background when I closed them. Sometimes the program's wouldn't start or shutdown seconds after starting. In After Effects I noticed that multi-processor rendering was slow. CPU utilisation would alternate between 60% and 99%. I didn't have this problems with the previous CC.
After alot of research and contacting Adobe support I found out that a simple program I had been using for ages called "ObjectDock" was causing all these problems. Without ObjectDock, everything runs smooth. I thought I'd share this with others who might face similar issues.

Also RAID 5 missing after reboot; RA Utilities non effective

I am having a nearly identical problem as listed in the "RAID 5 missing after reboot; RA Utilities non effective" thread, with one or two small differences.
We shut down our Xserve RAID normally on friday, started it back up on Monday to find that one of the arrays was no longer there. RAID 1 is still working perfectly, but RAID 2 now has all the drives listed as spare. Tried all the tools in RAID Admin, but nothing has worked. At the advice of Apple tech support i updated the firmware to 1.5, swapped out controllers and cables, and tried using the Recognize RAID command in utilities. Nothing has worked. Apple recomended bring the drives to Drive Savers to get the data recovered. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Oh, also this raid was reporting a failed drive on friday before it was shut off, when powered back on the drive now claims to be fine.

Guess I got lucky.... After a reboot of the Xserve RAID, RAID #2 mounted again. Did my backups, shut it back down, and updated firmware to 1.5 with no problems. All seems good now.
Still wondering what happened.
It appears that drive #8 failed, and after the rebuild with new replacement drive, it seems as though the controller needed to be restarted too. The odd thing is, before the restart, #2 was acting like it had three new drives and no array configured at all. After the reboot, there is the RAID 5 array, no rebuild or anything - ready to go.
So here is my question:
How often does everyone reboot their Xserve RAID? should it be done periodically? Every 3 months? Every month?
Or is this just a hiccup with the parity rebuild, and nothing else to worry about, or even a firmware issue for the controller(s) that 1.5 may resolve?

Error in After Effects RAM Preview after updating to Yosemite

There is an issue of RAM preview not showing video for the first several frames (a second or so) on the first run in After Effects.
No problem under Maverick.
Which means it has to do with the yosemite System-update.
This bug should really be fixed with some priority!
Apparently, Adobe cannot fix it (or don't want to).
So it's Apple who has to do something!!!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Rearrange Effect Menu in After Effects?

Is there a way to rearrange the effects in our Effect Menu in AFter effects. I just installed a plugin and now I have an extra 20 folders in my Effect Menu. It's really annoying. I would like to combine all of those effects into one folder. So I could select Boris, then in that folder would be all of the 20 new folders with all their plugins. Red Giant would be another one I would like to combine, I have 4 or 5 folders from them also. Just hate having my drop down menu to so long and un organized. I realize most of you guys probably just use the search feature on the right, and that maybe what I need to start doing, I just like the drop down menu.
Thanks for any help
Chaz

No, plug-in categories are hard-coded in the plug-ins themselves. You can always use the Effects&Presets palette set to Explorer hierarchy and organize your plug-ins that way, though....

Photoshop Effects History (like AFter Effects)?

Hello everyone,
I've been using photoshop for a couple years now, but have just started using after effects and love the Effects Controls Tab where you can see all the effects applied to each layer. Is there anything like this possible in Photoshop? I know there is a history, but it's the whole document history. There isn't a history for each layer is there? If no to all of the above, will Photoshop down the road ever consider this? I think it would be extremely helpful to see the effects applied to each layer and then be able to access them again. Sorry if there is this function and I just don't know about it yet.
Thanks everyone

No there isnt a history for each layer.
When you say "effects" do you mean layer styles?
[For example: You create a layer and add an outer glow and a gradient overlay. Ten steps down the road you tweak the gradient overlay. 20 more steps and you want to revert back to the original gradient overlay.]
If this is correct, im not sure how beneficial it would be or how many users would need such a function. You can save your layer styles and re-apply them to any object you want 10 days from now. (click "new style" in the layer style dialog box).

Can't use "Place Linked" or "Place Embedded" or "Open" after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014

When I go to File > Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open it isn't working anymore after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014.
If I drag a file to Photoshop, I can open it that way, or by using "Open Recent".
I've tried going to the folder "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" and deleting the file "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp", and then "Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open" works once, but then it stops working again?

Yosemite is still full of bugs that Apple has not been able to fix. Thank Apple for the damage to your Photoshop install.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.

Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
Can not connect at all (at work).
Thank you for helpfull advice.
Vladimir
Please do not give me advice like:
switch proxy to auto
turn the flight mode on and off
turn the iphone on and off
release the ip
recovery the network settings
recovery firmware
I have tried all these, but did not work.
PS to apple:
I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!

This helped me solve the problem:
I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.
