Best place to install After Effects, and best place to have AE Disk Cache

Hey, I have a new Samsung 840 EVO 250gb which I know I am already gonna install my OS on it, but not sure what to do with After Effects. I have heard it is good to have your Disk Cache on an SSD for better write performance, but should I have After Effects also installed on the SSD, or have AE installed on the Seagate Mechanical 1TB hard drive that I have now?
Thanks,
Jacob

I'd put the OS & application software on the hard drive. The reason: once launched, there aren't nearly as many read-write instances as there would be for an AE cache. You launch the OS... what, once a day? How about applications.... maybe 3-4 times a day?
On the other hand, when the AE cache is on the SSD, it it reads & writes to it all the time. That's where you want the real speed.
It might be nice to launch in the blink of an eye, but you're taking up valuable -- and pricey -- SSD real estate with OS & applications, things that aren't used all that often in comparison to the AE cache.

Can I install After Effects only?

Hi all. I just upgraded from CS3 Production Premium to CS4 Design Premium and I want my After Effects back. I still have the disk for the CS3 Production Premium so if I pop it in, can I install just After Effects? Thanks!

Yes. Just do a custom install.

Installing After Effects at home thru work account ?

We were told we could install after effects and photoshop at home, from a work account. What is the procedure. Does it matter if work is Windows and home is a Mac

We cannot know. If this is referring to some volume license, you better talk to your IT department how licensing and serial numbers need to be handled. the rest is just a standard install. and yes, depending on the serial, it makes a difference if you are on a Mac or Windows.

CS 5.5 After Effects and Premier Pro not listed in install

I recently purchased an overstock item of the CS 5.5 Master Collection student edition and attempted to install all of the applications. I successfully installed everything with the exception of After Effects and Premier Pro. AE and PPr are clearly part of the package, but are not included in the list of applications during the install (screen shot below).
I have a Mac Mini with 2GB RAM using system 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Is there something I'm missing?

Do you know which requirements I need to fulfill?
Below is what I could find and it seems that I have what is stated:
Minimum System Requirements: Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support, Mac OS X v10.5.7 or v10.6, 2GB of RAM, 4GB of available hard-disk space plus 2GB of space for optional content; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash-based storage devices), 1280×900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card, DVD-ROM drive, QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features, Broadband Internet connection required for online services

A few questions about After Effects and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery)

Hi,
I'm very new to After Effects and this forum. But I have a few questions.
Now, I have recently started a movie project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'm probably going to be the editor and if needed in charge of visual and/or special effects. This sounds like a pretty big job for a noob, but we don't have a time limit with the project so there's time to learn.
But to my questions. I've thought of introducing CGI to myself (very simple of course). I've studied the use of blender, and I think I'll use it for the modelling and animation. But should Ae be used in any stage of producing the CGI or should everything be done in blender? If I do, how? Am I going in the wrong direction (wrong kind of software, etc.)?
Also, I'm not talking of fully producing the scene with the computer, but adding things like characters or items, maybe special effects.
I'm hoping for an answer to all my questions, but if you have just one or two answers I'm happy to hear them too. You're also welcome to correct me if I've misunderstood something. Please ask for further specifications if you need any!

1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, Really big. It's hard. Really hard. You have no idea how hard AE is to learr and to master.
2. No time limit is good but you will need some money.
3. This is not a Blender forum. You want to explore filmmaking, CGI and Blender-specific forums for that kind of assistance.
4. AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work before you can decide how to divide up your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Are you using a DSLR? Do you know why? Or are you using a GoPro? Another example might be Apple's Final Cut Pro. You can edit audio in it but it's better to use an audio application. You can do some special effects in FCP but it's best to do complex stuff in Motion of After Effects. How do you know what app is appropriate Lots of experience. Lots of failures.
5. We were all new to AE and to vidoe editing and to special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. You do that with tutorials and books and tons of time. Learning to use Blender to make a robot move is one thing. Making the robot into a character that compels the audience to care about it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. Having those clouds react to the bow waves created by your flying robot as it approaches sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

After Effects and Premiere dont start on a new Mac.

Heyho community,
one thing up front... my english is not the best, so please be patient if i dont understand everything straightaway.
my macbook is just a few weeks old, means i am a noob to mac osx.
i recently installed the adobe creative suite and photoshop, illustator and flash are working fine. but after effects and premiere wont start. i sse the starting window and then it breaks.
i guess that it has somwthing to do with admin rights, something like that i have read in some other forums.
my main account is admin and maybe i have to start the programs with root rights, but i dont have any idea how to do this.
anyway... if i am completly wrong with that admin-guess, tell me.
Another Thing that may help you finding some ideas for solving the problem.
if i directly start after effects in terminal, it shows inside terminal this error message:
error for object 0x122a2c1b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
And another thing... if i start the mac in save mode i can run both programs, but if i try it in normal mode againt they dont work.
Any suggestions?
Regards from germany

I have reinstalled everything now, then running the cleanscript and repairung rights with the intsall dvd. now it still wont work. maybe this changelog out of the terminal will help you:
