After Effects CS5 Trial Help

Hello,
I've just downloaded the after effects cs5 30 day trail onto my mac osx 10.6.7 .
I've imported my footage that i want to edit but can not use any effects etc. when the effects tab is clicked  there is nothing there apart from 'matte'.
Does the trail come with no effetcs use?
Cheers

If you consider a complete lack of knowledge of the application as a problem, then you've got a problem. 
Instead of thinking that you know how to use AE intuitively, you need to begin at the beginning:

  • Help, can't install Adobe After Effects CS5 (trial)

    I tried to install the trial version of Adobe After Effects CS5 trial version and it doesn't work, when I opened the setup application it was all working fine until the installation, it went for a little bit then stopped and came up with an error message. I'm not sure what's going on, some people on other forums say you need to turn off antivirus and run as administrator but it still doesn't work.
    Details of my computer:
    RAM: 2GB
    Disk Space: 230GB HDD (approx.) 147GB remaining
    Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo
    T5450 CPU 1.66GHz 1.67 GHz
    Any help please?
    If you want to see the error message just ask

    Well anyway here's the error message (it's rather long):

  • "Installer Failed To Initialize"? After Effects CS5 Mac, Help!!!

    I'm in serious need of some help here. I downloaded the After Effects CS5 trial, but when I go and try to install it I get an error:
    "Installer Failed To Initialize. Please Download Adobe Support Advisor To Detect The Problem"
    I already tried Adobe Support Advisor, but it didn't detect any problems.
    I tried re-downloading the file again, but still no luck.
    I'm running an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.2, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hi.  I see this thread is old...last post is july 2010.  However, since I just had a similar issue and since a google search brought me here, i figure id share my info with other who my hit this too...
    i have os x 10.7 and am trying to install cs5.5 master collection.  i kept getting the installer failed to initialize error.
    by looking at the PDApp.log, i saw an error and fixed the issue causing the error...
    my issue was when launching Install.app, it looks for ~/Applications and creates a folder "Adobe" in it.  I had an alias in my home dir and the log showed the installer didnt see it as a valid directory.
    by removing the alias, the installer then created the folder "~/Applications/Adobe" for me.  However, since it created an empty folder named Applications, separate from the actual /Applications dir, this was not acceptible.
    So, if i right click on /Applications and hit "Make alias" and move that to my home dir...same issue.
    But, if i open Terminal.app and type "sudo ln -s /Applications" the seemingly same type of alias or "symbolic link" is created, but instead the installer see the dir as valid, and the install went flawlessly.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

    Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

    It isn't Lion. It might be the browser you are using or it could be an issue with adobe's site.
    Try a different browser and if that doesn't work, contact adobe and let them know you are having problems.

  • Can't Install After Effects CS5 Trial on Windows XP (64 Bit)

    I tired to install the AE CS5 trial yesterday on my computer and it had the error message,  "Adobe After Effects CS5 is installable only on 64-bit systems."  My computer is pretty crappy, but it IS a 64bit system.  Here are my specs of this old budget pc...
    Running: Windows XP Media Center Edition v.2002 SP3
    AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+
    2.20 GHz, 1.18 GB of RAM
    I knew I would have problems running this program, but I need to at least get it installed so I can work on my animation homework.  If you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated.
    *sigh* I'm so sick of this computer, I've wanted a new one for years...

    Oh, wow. XP is not supported? Oh well, now I have a valid excuse to not do my homework   Thank you.

  • After Effects CS5 Trial

    I tried to download the trial of CS5. I had to pause it very quickly because I wanted to delete my version of CS4 quickly (bad move, darned stupidity). And now, I can't un-pause the download on the trial. And I really, really am dieing to try out this rotobrush tool . Anyways, I probably could ask or look on another document on the site, but sorry, I had to ask.
    Thanks all, much help is appreciated.

    Jack, following up here to say if you or other folks are still having difficulties with the Akamai Download Manager, you may find it easier to just use the Adobe CS5 direct download links for After Effects and all other CS5 products...  Still hearing reports of people not being able to get the trial software so hopefully this helps.
    If you need to restore your previous version of After Effects CS4, or still have a Windows XP or a 32-bit system that can't yet use After Effects CS5, you can also redownload the CS4 software if you like.

  • Problem starting Adobe After Effects CS5 Trial

    Hey there,
    I have a huge problem starting AE5 Trial and well I looked around several Discussions about the problem without anything that'd help me.
    I used to work with an older version of AE, borrowed by my filmbuddy, on my old desktop without any problem.
    Now with my new laptop, I downloaded the CS5 Trial version and it hangs with initializing Mediacore. I'd really like to buy the new AE version, but well, if it doesn't work at trial level on my laptop, why should the full version work?
    So when starting AE the startup screen appears it hangs with "initalizing MediaCore", so I have to click on that screen that something happens ... now the startup screen is dark colored and I have to wait for 10 min that something new is happening.
    Now it says: "Warning: QuickTime is not installed on this system, some components will not work correctly. So I can press and AE actually starts, but I'm not able to import or export QuickTime movies. And btw. AE works pretty lame, don't know why (my OS is Windows Ultimate 7, 64 bit btw. ^^ )
    So well I tried to deactivate my firewall, no change
    I tried to delete the MediaCore plug-ins (program files - AE CS5 - Media Core plug-ins - common) one by one or all ... no change
    I tried reinstalling QuickTIme and AE, different orders, still nothing happens
    There may be several helpful Threads about this, but the problem is, its mostly specific to Mac and I can't find the equivalent way for Windows
    I'd appreciate any help
    Thanks for your kind attention

    Yeah CS5.5 from the adobe website. At least I think so - my internet connection is to slow to download anything, so a friend got it for me
    The point: permissions problem with preferences folder or corrupt preferences - I don't know why, but I don't have the AppData\Roaming path/folders
    just worked through this discussion: blockage of TCP communication with QuickTIme - I don't quite get the point with the rule ... what steps do I have to follow in Windows Firewall? but well I deactivated it anyway and it still didn't work.
    Aaand I don't find the preference files on windows ... user/...
    gosh I want to work with this program error-free ^^

  • After Effects CS5 - Rendering Help!

    I recently got AE CS5.  When I had CS4, i would always render it as a Windows Media File (.wmv).  But now in CS5 when I render it as that, it just messes up. The size of the finally rendered HD clip will be no more than a few hundred KB's, and sometimes won't even play. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    -yodertrey

    Provide more details about your settings, which version of Windows and where you are storing the file. CS5 being 64bit, there could be any number of issues caused by the differences of 32bit vs. 64bit, including some very rudimentary Windows stuff not related to Adobe....

  • After Effects CS5 Startup Error

    Hi, I recently downloaded the After Effects CS5 trial for Mac OS X (64 Bit). I installed everything correctly (I think) and tried to start up the program, as I was very excited because I have heard great things about this program. I was unhappy to see a startup error pop up that says this, "After Effects Warning: Unknown BIB Error invalid encoding, BRV, 0 (83 :: 3)" I think it might be that I downloaded the 64 Bit instead of 32, but I do believe I'm running on a 64-bit operating system (Mac OS X 13-In. Macbook Pro), but I'm not sure. Some help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
    -John (AdobeAddict17)

    There is no 32bit version of CS5, but it's really unimportant. OSX has supported 64bit apps since 10.5.x and 10.6.x is native 64bit. So no problems on that end. The error you are seeing is a generic drawing error which may be caused due to misconfiguration of your graphics hardware or problems with font rendering. in the latter case, removing unnecessary fonts may help, for the graphics config a system update may have a newer driver. Also make sure that you have the Verdana font on your system. This has been known to be a problem with OSX 10.6, since it does not install the font by default.

  • PLEASE HELP!! Weird screen glitch in After Effects CS5.5?!? (Windows 7)

         I was editing some videos in the trial of After Effects CS5.5, and I went to render something in full screen (I've been using it for two weeks now, and i've rendered in full screen before) and suddenly a bunch of error messages started popping up,and After Effects closed out. Now every time I open After Effects, its like the screen zooms in: I can't see my taskbar or my tools for after effects, or anything on the edges at all. Production Premiere and everything else works fine, but After Effects is always like this now. I've searched all the help centers, and google, and youtube, and I've found nothing. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling the Master Collection trial but it still came up in full screen.
    PLEASE HELP I only have 12 days left on trial and I'm trying to finish one last video.

    Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't do it, Reboot, Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then re-install AE. If that doesn't work let us know. It's probably your preferences.

    I am not surprised by that.  You need more memory on your computer!  You went from a computer with only 3 GB RAM to one with just 2 GB RAM.
    Personally, I would not try to run AE on a computer with anything less than 8 GB RAM, and I would not try to use multiprocessing with it.  I would not try to use multiprocessing unless I had 16 GB RAM.
    After Effects uses a lot of memory.  You are in desperate need of more memory.  Until you get more, you will be unsuccessful when you use it.
