Cant open Windows After Effects project in Mac

Hello,
Im unable to open an AEP that was created on windows on my Mac, we are both registered to cloud and have the same updated After Effects version 11.0.3. The windows version runs on After Affects CC and I don't, could this be the issue, im downloading it now.
Thanks,
Help quick would be greatly appreciated!!

Correct. AE projects are not backward compatible - unless explicitly saved down to CS6 from CC.

  • 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?
    Thanks

    No problem. Have fun!

  • Opening a really old After Effects Project

    I had some work come through where I needed to revisit some AE v5.5 projects. But CS5.5 or CS5 wouldn't open them. I had to reinstall my AE v7.0 to open them. Then I used CS5.5 to open the AE 7.0 project. (And I would have been screwed if I was using Lion because there's no Rosetta to run AE 7).
    I vaguely remember a chart showing what versions can open up what. I'm assuming this is a 64-bit issue?

    I've never seen a chart, but each version of the Help document says what can open what.
    Here are the relevant notes from After Effects CS5 and CS5.5 Help:
    Note: After Effects CS5 can open and import After Effects projects created by After Effects 6.0 and later.
    Note: After Effects CS5.5 can open and import After Effects projects created by After Effects 6.5 and later.
    > I'm assuming this is a 64-bit issue?
    It's a development and testing issue. If we say that something works, we test the bejeezus out of it. If we attempted to keep project import back to After Effects 1.0 projects, we'd have to spend a lot of testing time (and some development time) on that, and that would keep us from developing and testing new features. And we know that the rare cases in which people do need to open very old projects can be dealt with by the workaround that you used.

  • Encore DVD 2.0 on Windows: Composition background color of dynamically linked After Effects projects

    Hello,
    I used Adobe Dynamic Link to import an After Effects project, and I saw that in Encore the background color of a composition is set to black even though it is defined with another value in After Effects.
    I had to open the project in AE and place a solid layer with the desired color behind all other layers.
    What are the causes for this behaviour? Did I do something wrong or is it a bug?
    Best regards,
    Christian Kirchhoff

    The composition background is transparent. It has per se no color and does not react to blendmodes and such. It's imaginable that Encore resets it to black for whatever reason (wouldn't know, as I design my menus always with full frame backgrounds to begin with). Still, I would consider it a bug regardless, so please fiel away:

  • Getting After Effects project properties and metadata programatically

    Hi,
    I'm building a render-farm and I'd like to extract some of the adobe after effects project fields from an .aep or .aepx file. To me it makes more sense to send the start and end frames to be rendered to each individual machine rather than depend on the shared folder feature. If this is possible, the project metadata in projects saved as xml doesn't seem to contain this information in plain text.
    If there is a command line tool that can scan an AE project and print out information such as fps, duration, compositions, that would be perfect.
    Thank you,
    Conrado

    Mylenium -
      I found the information I needed - this is a huge one for me, since I organize all of my projects using Bridge - I just discovered that in Bridge, if you go into the XMP Metadata by right-clicking the .mov file, the window which opens has a Tab view - the second from the end is Advanced. If you then roll open the Schema entry, under creatorAtom:aeProjectLink (struct), lo and behold, there sits the project name with the full path!
    This is huge, in terms of being able to pinpoint the project which created the final output on my system.

  • Make an edit to an After Effects Project

    I have an After Effects project to introduce a new logo.  Someone built it for us, but out logo has changed slightly.  We cannot reach the designer who did it originally, I just need to replace the PNG he used with our new one without changing any animation or effects.  Is there a way to do this?

    If you open the project and import your new asset all you need to do is find the layer containing the footage you want to replace. Once you find that footage, locate it in the Project panel and select it there. Observe the size of the image. Make sure that your new image is the same size. If necessary resize it in Photoshop. Now, with the original footage selected in the time line move to the Project panel and select the new footage. You then hold down the Alt/Option key and simply drag the new footage to the timeline and it will replace the original.
    Problems arise when the replacement footage is a different size than the original, but other than that, things should work just fine. It may even be helpful to open the original file in Photoshop and drag your new file on top if the original so you can properly adjust the size.

  • GPU in after effects cs6 on mac mountain lion with Intel HD 4000

    Is its possible to enable GPU in after effects cs6 on mac mountain lion with Intel HD 4000?

    No, OpenGL Swap Buffer support (Level 1) support for the HP4000 is for Windows only. Level 2 and 3 support is not available either. You'd need a more powerful NVIDIA card for Level 1, 2, and 3 feature support.

  • After Effects project not updating

    Hi
    I have an issue with media encoder, when I use media encoder to render a After Effects project and then need to make a change to the original AE project and re render I’m finding that the change is not reflected when I re open that file in media encoder.
    I take it that media encoder is caching the file but then why is the cached version not updating?
    Any help please

    What version of After Effects and AME do you have?
    After you make your changes in After Effects, you should use the Composition > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, which was new in After Effects CC (12.0). Alternately, you can drag the comp from the Project panel in After Effects to the Queue panel in AME.
    Otherwise you'll need to quit and restart AME to force it to reload the project.
    Under the hood, AME reads After Effects comps using Dynamic Link, which loads a copy of your After Effects project in the background. If you save changes into your After Effects project file while Dynamic Link still has that copy loaded into memory, that copy is not affected. (This is a bug. You're welcome to file a bug report about it.) Only in the case where AME has flushed that copy from memory would it reload the project file and see the updates, which may happen if AME needs the memory space and will always happen if you quit AME.
    The difference with the Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue command, or dragging the comp from After Effects to AME (in After Effects CC (12.0) and later) is that every time you do this, a temporary copy of your project file on disk is created with the current state of the comp. Having that updated project as a unique file avoids the issue of Dynamic Link needing to update the previous instance of the project.

    whenever i try to open my after effect it just says error 15 n dont work plzz help me out

    We cannot know. you are not telling us anything about your system, what kind of project, what footage etc. We don't even know what version of AE!!! In any case, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall the program. If the issues persist, we realyl need a lot more info to help you.

  • HELP: My Videohive After Effects project is rendering artifacts!  AE CS6

    Hi all,
    HP-HPE 510t
    i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
    16GB Ram
    Windows 8 x64bit
    Nvidia GTX 660 Ti
    I purchased a Videohive After Effects project with motion gfx and video, and it  is rendering artifacts in two places.
    I'm exporting Quicktime + animation, tried + PNG, and + photo jpeg but all with the same results.
    I even contacted the author but he cannot explain why either. The interesting thing is, it renders beautifully without any artifacts in AE.
    Only on the export render do I see the black silhouette artifacts. Below are some photos of what I mean.
    Please help? i'm trying to export the highest quality for youtube and am going to H.264 the lossless version.
    It looks correct in AE:

    But with black artifacts in lossless render?

    Thank Rick,
    Only reason that I'm using photobucket instead of the built-in image embeddor (camera icon), is because it doesn't seem to be working for me. All I get is an empty dialog box, tried also with video but that one seems to be working properly.
    maybe ill try firefox.
    any solutions for the artifacts??
    My output module settings so far have been..
    tried:
    1) Quicktime + Animation (lossless) quality 100
    2) Quicktime + photo jpg
    3) Quicktime + PNG (lossless) quality 100
    4) Quicktime + H.264  30mbps
    tried rendering again with "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" turned off...still getting artifacts only on these text offset animation frames.
    still looks perfect while in after effects.. I restarted my computer, I cannot figure this out.
    Help!

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.

    I want to buy After Effects 7.0 (Mac)  + an upgrade version, which is unfortunately an AE 5.5 Upgrade (Win) version.
    Can I change the upgrade version to platform AE 5.5. Mac?
    Thanks in advance!
    TobiWebbbb

    no, unfortunately adobe only supports platform changes for current software, Order product | Platform, language swap
    you could upgrade to adobe cc (and get upgrade pricing) that would allow you to use on both mac and pc.
