After Effects CS6 system requirements

Hello,
and sorry if I didn't post this in the right place, but I'm new here and I want to know if I can work with after effects cs6 on this configuration:
-AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz
-RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
-ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II 2GB DDR5 192-bit
If anything ncessary please fell free to ask.
Thanks.

Thank you so much for your answers !
The problem is that I'm on a tight budget right now. I replaced the AMD with an Intel, so the configuration will be:
-Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz
-RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
-ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II 2GB DDR5 192-bit
Another thing will be that I won't be doing any major editing in AE, just some "little" to medium editing. Maybe I can use AE cs5 if it works better and I can do my job with it.
Or maybe I'll make an effort for 16 GB RAM...
Share your opinions please.
Thank you again !

Adobe after effects cs6 system requirements

Hi,
I would like to purchase the adobe master collection cs6, but I wonder if my laptop matches the system requirements, specially my graphic card (with Adobe after effects or adobe premiere pro)
my laptop:
Win 7 64 bits
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
P7450 2.13 GHz
4 Go RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
Could you please tell me your opinion?
thanks a lot

The graphics card will work for normal OpenGL acceleration, but not anything else. Anything with CUDA will require an NVidia card. Read the system specs here and here. What's not listed there, is not supported for GPU accelerated raytracing or Mercury Playback. It's that simple. All that aside, it's simply not gonna be fun to run eitehr of the programs on your system. The processor is just weak and 4GB is not much on a 64bit system.

I am trying to download After Effects cs6 Trial. I am trying to download it from the download assist

I am trying to download After Effects cs6 Trial. I am trying to download it from the download assistant tool. It keeps giving me error 107. (Cannot Communicate from error 107) I have tried restarting and reinstalling the assistant but it keeps giving me the same error. How do I fix this?

Both After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 require a 64-bit operating system. You can find further details at:

After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup

Hello everybody, could you help me to address this problem? After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup. What should I do?
Best,
Oscar.

That is not a configuration that After Effects CS6 will use for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
See the After Effects CS6 system requirements:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html#After Effects CS6 system requirements
The Quadro K5000 was added to the whitelist for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects CC (12.0).

After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 not available for installation for 32-bit systems

After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 require a 64-bit operating system and processor to be installed and run.
If you subscribe to Creative Cloud but use a 32-bit computer system, you will not be able to download and install Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6.
This issue primarily affects users on the Windows operating system, since all supported versions of the Mac OSX operating system are able to run 64-bit applications.
See this document for details:
"64-bit Windows required for After Effects and Premiere Pro CS6"
In general, you can only download and use applications for which your computer system meets the minimum system requirements.

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!

After effects CS6 installation 64 bit required

I am installing After Effects CS6 for the first time, and receive an installation error message telling me that a 64 bit machine is required. I guess I have a 32 bits. Is there another version that works on 32 bit?

Here are the system requirements, the answer is AE-CS6 needs 64-bit CPU:

Hello I downloaded adobe after effect CS6, but it is not installed and asks to install Adobe Support Advisor. I turn to the site and there wrote: "The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation . " What do I do?

yes, I did that with helping message 3, I'd remove Cs6 only, but it did not help. The message "Failed to initialize the setup program. To identify the problem, download the program Adobe Support Advisor" repeat again =(

Trouble installing After Effects cs6 on my new Yosemite system.

I then attempted to install all the software from my old computer. Installed Entire cs6 suite, after effects is greyed out.
When i tried to open, i received an error " You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CS6” with this version of OS X. You have “Adobe After Effects CS6” 11.0. "
I then read online that there was fix by updating to After Effects to 11.4. Due to the fact that i cant open program to update from within i downloaded update and tried to install via the installer. I acts like it it will start even giving a timeline of how long it will take then closes and says update failed.
It then says you can look at error log, when i do it says " Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28 ".
Anyone knows how i can fix this issue and get after effects working? Thanks in advance

There have been a few people having problems getting updates and a few different solutions. It all depends on what's messed up on your machine.
It could be as simple as fixing permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
Somewhat advanced, but it worked for somebody: Unable to upgrade to 11.0.1 for AE CS6
You may have to defeat a daemon... Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.
One solution for a different OS and AE version, but might solve it: Mavericks and AE 12.0/12.1/12.2

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

"Timed out reaching dynamiclink server connection" After Effects cs6

Why do i get the "Timed out reaching dynamiclink server connection" error? I want to motion track a video and i get this error. please help
i have after effects cs6.

Nobody can tell you anything without exact system info. the typical case for this error would be some external influence blocking the required port connections for the separate analysis process. that's all anyone can tell you at this point.

How to download Adobe After Effects CS6 trial from the Adobe Download Assistant?

Hi guys,
I am a complete novice so im a bit stuck. I am trying to trial the Adobe AE CS6 but ive got to the download assistant and come to a dead end.
what do i do next?
many thanks!

What computer/OS are you trying to download After Effects on?
Make sure that your computer meets the System requirements for running After Effects. For example, AE requires a 64-bit operating system. If you're on a 32-bit version of Windows, you will be unable to install AE.
If you meet the system requirements, try one of the following:
Restart the browser and from the website, try downloading After Effects again.
Sign in to Adobe Download Assistant, and then from the Show Me menu choose Video, and then click the left/right arrows till you find After Effects CS6.

Not Able To Install After Effects Cs6 Trial

I am currently using a macbook pro 13 inch with mountain lion software at version 10.8.2
I am not able to install the after effects cs6 trial
I tried to turn off my proxies and vpn, but it still does not work
I also tried to restart my computer and tried to install it again but still nothing happens
the error problems i clicked onto
Exit Code: 15 -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was able to install the trial on my imac with the same account, it opened normally
How come my macbook pro could not install it

Exit code 15 installing
And not to point out the obvious: a 13" MBP may not meet the system requirements due to the limited screen resolution.

After effects cs6 trial not downloading

hi, i'm having problems downloading after effects cs6 trial, the download assistant is throwing an error and the download manager does not feature AE at all. It has been this wasy for 3 weeks. Please help.

No.
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/faq.html#64bit-support
"I use a 32-bit version of Windows and want to purchase CS6 Production Premium or Master Collection. What should I do?
On Windows, the CS6 versions of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, SpeedGrade, and Encore require a 64-bit edition of Microsoft® Windows 7. If you are using one of the following operating systems, you will not be able to install or run those applications:
32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows XP Home or Professional
32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise
If you are using one of the listed incompatible operating systems, Adobe recommends that you upgrade to a 64-bit edition of Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate"
In short, you'll have to upgrade to a 64 bit computer and operating system.

Cannot see After Effects CS6 in the AAM [was: HELP]

Hi,
I am trying to download the trial of Adobe After Effects CS6 trial.I have followed the steps given on the website but when I enter the adobe application manager,I cannot find Adobe After Effects.PLEASE HELP.I need the trial as i am thinking of buying the product.

After Effects requires a 64 bit processor and 64 bit operating system.
If you cannot see After Effects in the AAM then your computer does not meet the system requirements required to run the software.
Most likely you are running a 32 bit version of Windows. If that's the case, you will not be able to download, install or run After Effects.
The solution is to get a 64 bit computer running a 64 bit version of Windows.

Any body knows how to download an after effects CS6 tryout? thanks!

I need to run this version on my computer please help.. the new version (CC) won't run on my computer..... Help me thanks

Why do you think that After Effects CS6 (11.0) will run on your computer if After Effects CC (12.0) does not? The system requirements for hardware are nearly identical between the two versions.
