After Effects files exchange beetween CS6 and CC

Hi, I have CS6 Production Suite, with which I don't seem to be able to open CC files. Will I have to upgrade to CC?
If so, is it possible to upgrade one app only (AE) and not the whole suite?
Thanks for your help,
Oukankoman

With CC, you don't purchase an app. You pay a (very reasonable) monthly fee and get the entire suite of Adobe software available to you. (If I remember correctly, you can pay an even smaller amount to just get one piece of software, but considering the low price for owners of CS6, you might as well do the whole shebang.)  See Adobe's website for more info.

  • How do I add an after effects files to a website

    Hey guy's,
    I'm working on a website, and I've created a really cool after effects file to put on my website.
    But how do I host it on my site, please?
    Do I have to make it a different format of file, then upload it like all my other files. Also how can I reduce the amount of memory it uses, so it doesn't effect my webpage.
    Thank you, in advance!
    If you want to have a look at the site it's here - http://www.prime-ticket.com
    Note: The site's still under mass construction.

    After Effects creates Videos therefore you need to render a video and post the video on some kind of streaming server like Vimeo or YouTube. There are presets in the Adobe media encoder for both of these hosting services that work great.
    If you do not know anything about rendering video then please search rendering in the aftereffects search help field at the top right corner of the app.

  • Premiere CC cannot render After Effects files

    Windows 8 64-bit, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (3GB), 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processor
    Earlier today I was making changes to a 13 minute film. It has a few After Effects animated stills. Everything was fine until I made some tweaks to the animations in After Effects. BIG MISTAKE. Now the files won't render in Premiere, even though they did last week. The changes were minor. I've tried clearing cache for both Premiere and After Effects, uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. No changes. I tried creating a new timeline and importing the sequence over, but now one of the AE files in the timeline says "Media Offline" even though I've made no changes to it. This ONLY happens with Premiere projects containing these AE files. I tried messing around with other projects, and Premiere works fine. I can edit the animations in After Effects just fine, but Premiere won't render them. It freeze or crashes every time. For some reason, it only started messing up once I edited the AE files this morning and I have no idea why since this is not the first wave of changes I've made to them. Premiere and After Effects are updated, as is my graphics card driver.
    Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you both, Jim and Greg, for the help so far. I think I managed to fix it on my own. I was working with 4 After Effects animations at very high resolutions (because the footage had to zoom and pan). I was able to render 3 of them into .avi files, but the 4th was too corrupted. After Effects crashed every time, so I re-created the composition from a new still. That worked, and I rendered that clip into an .avi file as well. After I managed to remove the After Effects file from the Premiere Pro sequence, Premiere stopped crashing. I imported the .avi files and was able to edit and render again. I can only assume Premiere was having too much with the original AE files, either because they were too large, corrupted, or both. Still don't know what went wrong when I edited them Monday morning, but thankfully I was able to work around it.

  • Trying to open an after effects file from a pc on my mac.

    Hi I am trying to open an after effects file from a pc on my mac. This is the error i get.
    'the file you are attempting to open was created with after effects version 13.2 (windows 64)'
    I am running mavericks 10.9.5, and I have updated my after effects in the creative cloud manager.
    Will it open if the person on the pc saves it as an older version?

  • "The importer reported a generic error" when trying to import an After Effects file into Premiere.

    Currently quite new to using both pieces of software - I'm trying to grab a file, either a save or an export, from After effects into Premiere. I've googled around, but I can't find anyone with a similar problem with it being an AE file.
    Just looking for some advice on what to do.

    Okay so I've searched around most of this forum and as much of Google as I could find - I have found similar problems, but nothing exactly the same; and none of the solutions I've found have worked for me. I've seen a lot of people having trouble connecting to the DL server on the file-selection window, but I don't even get that far - an error message just pops up in the middle of my screen - and my error doesn't mention a server, just that it can't connect to AE DL.
    I changed firewall software (which I've wanted to do for months, anyway) and still to no avail.
    As for the "The importer reported a generic error" problem also, I can't find any problems or solutions with After Effects files not being able to be imported.

  • After Effects files are imported as audio only (no video)

    Whenever I attempt to import an After Effects file into Premiere pro, it will show up in the Project window with an audio icon (but no sequence or video icon) it won't allow me to Put the sequence into my composition. The AE file has no audio on it, and is only a sequence.
    I've tried using standard import as well as Adobe Dynamic Link. 
    This is on a mac on Premiere Pro CC 8.1

    This is a distribution format, not intended to be edited, because of the heavy compression. You have several options:
    1. Try with consumer editor, like Magix, or WMM.
    2. Convert to something editable and accept the quality loss.
    3. Get the original, not compressed material from the copyright owner.

  • Is there a way to Import After effect files into motion

    I was wondering if there is a way to import after effects files into motion.

    hi
    no there is not. The only thing you can do is to export the layers out of AE as movies and import them into Motion. Of course you are then hard baking everything and you lose control, but that would be the same if you went to any other system.

  • I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?

    I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?
    The file has 4 artboards with webpage designs. I tried to take two of the artboards, create a separate doc with those two, and save, but the result was the same.
    However, I am able to save simpler, smaller files.
    I need to not lose these files and I am afraid to quit and restart and lose my unfinished work.
    Any advice?

    What happens if you choose this option?

    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.

  • Final Cut and After Effects "file is busy"

    Hello All-
    I am running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and After Effects 7.0.1 Pro (on OS 10.4.8) and I have a question. I have a series of After Effects animated DV Quicktime clips edited together in Final Cut, and when I make changes to the After Effects project files and try to rerender, I get an error:
    After Effects error: unable to overwrite - file is busy (delete) (-47) ( 3 :: 3 )
    It's like Final Cut is "holding onto" the files and not allowing After Effects to rerender them. If I close down Final Cut, I can rerender just fine, but this gets real annoying closing it down and restarting it every time I need to rerender a clip. The problem is, because of my workflow, I need to do this dozens of times a day with clients in the room and I'm spending a lot of time closing and restarting Final Cut over the course of a day... is there way to do this without closing down Final Cut?
    I assigned After Effects to be the "External Editor" for "Video Files", and used Final Cut's "Open In Editor" command. It sends the quicktime file to After Effects (not exactly what I want) and you would think that at this point Final Cut would have relenquished its access to the file so that I could rerender in After Effects, but nope, I still get the error. I have tried this with the User Preference setting "Always Reconnect Externally Modified Files" both on and off, no difference. I have also tried "Embed Project Link" in After Effects's quicktime output options, but this didn't help anything (I believe this only affects other Adobe apps).
    The weird part of this is that when I drop a Photoshop file onto the Final Cut timeline, I can do "Open in Editor", it throws it to Photoshop, I can alter it and save with no problem, and pop back into Final Cut and it will be updated. But no such luck with Quicktime files and After Effects.
    Let me know if there is a solution to this, or if I am stuck having to shut down Final Cut every single time I need to rerender one of the After Effects animation clips in the timeline.

    What i have to suggest is more of a work around than it is a solution. i've had this problem off and on as well. What i do is add a number to the name of the newly rendered file, (ie. "monkey_throwspoo2.mov") import that file into FCP, open it in the viewer, and then copy it (apple + c). Provided it's the smae length as the previous file, you can right click on the previous file in the timeline and paste attributes, making sure to click on the content button for video (and audio if there is any). This should replace the old file in the timeline with the new one. Granted, you end up having a bunch of files that you're not using, but it's faster than restarting Final Cut (and looks more like it's something you're doing on purpose rather than a problem with the program to your clients). Hope this helps.

  • Best Way to Export After Effects File and Save Transparency

    Hi all-
    A pretty simple question. I need to export a file from After Effects and keep the alpha channel so I can superimpose it on some video in FCE. What is the best way to export it?
    I recall hearing people mention that the Animation Codec with "Millions of Colors+" is the best way to go about doing it, in which case I'd just have to render it within FCE. Is that correct? If so, are there any other settings I should tweak to get a high quality file that will work with FCE?
    Thanks.

    Hi -
    Animation Millions+ will deliver an extremely high quality file with the alpha channel. You will need to render once in FC.
    Hope this helps.
