Changing the language in After Effects cs5

Hello, I'm trying to change the language in After Effects cs5 from German to English on a mac (10.8.5 osx). I've tried going to package contents/resources/AMTlanguages and changing de_DE to en_US but when I restart it and enter the serial number it says its incorrect for this product. I was able to change photoshop without any trouble but does anyone know if AE has a language specific license? help please and thank you!

Any standalone retail package is language specific as dictated by the serial number and installer. Lucky for you, you can easily set AE to English by creating a file called ae_force_english.txt in your user profile's documents folder. the file doesn't need to contain anything, it just needs to be present and named properly.

Change language in After Effects CS5

Hi guys,
I have AE CS5 and installed the whole thing in German (because I am German^^) but now I realize that for tutorials and so on it would be much easier in Englisch. So is there a way to change the language without reinstalling? I had a look for some answers, but the "Languages"-folder isn't located at
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\After Effects CS5"
I use the 64-bit-Version
I hope someone can help me,
Greets, GFXer

This is as easy as it gets. Sorry to disappoint, but you rather be glad it is actually there and it's not like in other programs where you cannot switch languages at all. For all intents and purposes, this is not meant to provide an all out solution for flexible language switching, it is merely a fallback measure when the user needs to use prefab projects from the web or follow tutorials as wel las providing a compatibility fix for some plug-ins and scripts thatr do weird things in foreign language environments. Your program is still tied to the serial number you bought it with and that ultimately dictates any language settings. This also means that you cannot enforce other languages other than English. Would be pointless, anyways - you would have to have the proper Asian installer in the first place to even get the specific language files on your system. Same for otehr languages - a US/ North America installer will never give you Italian or German, just US English, Canadian French and possibly Spanish.

Is After Effects CS5.5 PowerPC-only? (Installation Problem)

I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium on a new (2012) Mac Mini (Intel Core i7 processor) running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Most of the apps installed correctly, but After Effects CS5.5 gives me the following error when I try to launch:
You can't open the application "Adobe After Effects CS5.5" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing the app (along with Flash Catalyst, which also fails), but the error remains. What's the deal here? Is it an installation problem, or is After Effects CS5.5 truly incompatible with my new hardware/OS? Any suggestions appreciated.

Okay, answered my own question. I was installing on a Mac Mini, which doesn't have an optical drive, so I was using a remote optical drive to install across my network. Turns out that confused the installer. I ended up copying the install DVD onto a flash drive and installing from that. Problem went away.

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.

After Effects CS5.0 crash with just a file

Hi
When I tray yo open a After Effects file in a Mac Pro 2013 with Mac OS X 10.8.5 the program shows the AE Suicide after indicate a font problem.
In other Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and the same version of After Effects CS5.0 there are not problems.
I need to work with Mac OS X 10.8.5 .
Can you help with this issue please
Thanks

I'm guessing that you haven't installed the bug-fix updates.
Listed in the fixes for After Effects CS5 in the 10.0.1 update:
"Crash on start due to bad fonts."

After effects cs5 crashing - dynamiclinkmanager, Language registry key, Ivideosource

Hey everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS5 (10.0.2 - most up to date) in OSX 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro tower
2x2.66 ghz dual-core Intel Xenon
7gb DDR2
ATI Radeon x1900 XT 512mb
Dual monitors
I keep getting the following error messages, most frequent to least
<140735089106112> <5> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/dynamiclink/CS5/dyanmiclinkmanager.app.
<140735243008352> <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5.1\ Defaulting to 'en_US'.
<140735089106112> <Ivideosource> <5> AE push total_frames 180, MC pull frames w/safety margin 180, margin 0.
I have also gotten other error messages pertaining to these problems invovling the gaussian blur filter and some pdf error.
After Effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in "Gaussian Blur".
After Effects error: There was an error processing this PDF Document. (1074397201) ( 50 :: 29 )
I am working with AI files, some have been converted to footage, some still AI - continously rasterizing. I even cleared all AI files out to see if they might have been the problem, still crashing. File works fine on PC. Have reinstalled twice. Need to stay on cs5 because I'm working on files with others.
Crashes randomly in a variety of processes such as scrubbing the time, RAM previews, composing, etc. I have tried resetting all preferences, deleting prefs manually, and some open GL things.
Would cs5.5 or 6 work? We have additional licenses for both. Could also upgrade to mountain lion?
Any other solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Trying to get work done for a client and have tried running AE CS5 on OSX 10.6.8 on a macbook pro - getting the same problems, and its not the file (fine on pc).

Well, I see the letters "PDF" in the error message, and that's where I smell the rat.
Illustrator can open PDF's: just choose the page you want for multiple-page PDF's. Then make any necessary changes, and save as an RGB Illustrator document. Backsave to an earlier Illustrator version if you can.
You can even sort the PDF out into separate Illustrator LAYERS -- not shapes or groups -- which can be used in AE as layers. Very handy. Just make sure to create a new layer in Illustrator; most hard-core Illustrator users who aren't used to AE tend to overlook that nifty little feature.

Mercury Engine in After Effects CS5.5? Or, why is After Effects so much slower the Premiere Pro?

Take this quote :
"by Todd Kopriva on Apr 25, 2010 at 8:08:14 am
'Mercury' is a marketing name for these performance improvements in Premiere Pro: - multiprocessing
- multithreading
- 64-bit application
- use of CUDA to to some processing on supported hardware
The first three of these are in After Effects CS5. (The first two have been in After Effects for much longer.)"
However, if I drop my Canon 5D Mark II footage (h264) into Premiere Pro it plays back SO MUCH better then the exact same footage in After Effects. Why is that? I DO NOT have an NVideo card and I have NOT applied any effects or scaling to the clip, just raw footage dropped into each program.
I do notice that After Effects has to render to play back (green bar being generated above footage). But it does slow very slowly, like 9fps. Premier Pro seems to cruise right along at near realtime. This is 24fps 1080p footage. One other point of interest, I have encoded the clip into Cineform codec as well. On Premier Pro I can tell a difference, the cineform scrubs a lot smoother then the original H264 clip. But, again, in After effects both the h264 and Cineform clips are very slow to render and scrub.
Any improvements along these lines for CS5.5?
Am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks for any info,
--greg.

I think the problem is that hitting the space bar and hitting '0' (ram preview) both draw that green bar, and both seem to use it if it is already there. I guess the real difference is how that green bar gets generated. It does seem to get generated faster when I ram preview as opposed to hitting the space bar. Using both cores I have I guess (early 2009 24" iMac).
When you hit the space bar, AE TRIES to play back as it renders each frame. Imagine what happens if it's a comp with 120 3D layers that all accept lights and cast shadows. That's why you don't use the space bar.
In a RAM Preview, AE fills up the memory available to it with rendered frames, then plays them back from RAM. Depending on processor speed, dimensions of comp & frame rate, this may or may not be real time, but there are ways to get real time. With the space bar, you don't stand a chance at real time.
Gregory Seattle wrote:
From what I hear new iMacs are due out soon with the new Thunderbolt (!) and Sandy Bridge processors/chipsets. Should be a LOT faster then what I have now.
For AE work I'd say maybe yes, maybe no. To make AE REALLY speedy, you need a lot of processor cores and a boatload of RAM. iMacs aren't known for either of those things.

After Effects CS5 crashes when I make a selection in the destination field of BCC Morph plug-in

Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Open AE
2.Create a composition
3.Import photos (.png)
4.Put photos on timeline
5. Add BCC Morph from Effects&Presets BCC7 OpenGL to first photo on timeline
6. Select Source Unwarped in Render Mode field
7. Select 2nd photo in Destination field
Results: AE crashes
Error messages displayed for several attempts:
A.Crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in BCC last logged message 4424, 4604
B.Crash in progress. Last logged message was : <5000> <DynamicLink><5> C:\ Program Files (x86) \Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink/CS5/dynamiclinkmanager.exe
C. AE can't continue: sorry AE has crashed. See www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for know issues (0 :: 42)
Expected results:
Able to continue selecting options (setup the duration of the Morph by adding a key frame using the Key Marker)
What I've tried so far:
- I verified I have the latest version of After Effects
- I Removed the OpenGL plug-in from the After Effects plug-ins folder and After Effect still crashed
- My PC meets the minimum requirements for After Effects
- My video card driver is the most current the manufacture has available to date
Video information: NVIDIA, GeForce GTX 480, driver ver 266.58
Prod Name: After Effects CS5

How Do I Change the Language of Start Menu and Modern Apps After I Installed Windows? Applying Language Pack only Localizes Traditional Applications?

Howdy,
I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview with original language settings for the US region.
No that I need my Windows localized to Espanol - Spanish.
I type "language' in Cortana, select Add language to this device and click Add a language on the Region & language.
Then I select added language and click Set as primary.
After the restart I see that while Windows Explorer is displayed in Spanish, Start menu is displayed in English (including app sections such as Explore Windows), as well as Modern apps that have retained their English names (such as Mail).
I even set the location to Spain in regional settings (although I didn't like the idea, as I want to browse the US market). To no avail.
How do I change the language of the Start menu and modern apps?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Okay, I ran the in-place upgrade and it worked!
What I did:
1. Downloaded and attached Espanol edition of Windows Setup ISO.
2. Started setup.exe from that ISO.
TIP: If need be, you can downgrade your installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview by changing two registry values, EditionID and ProductName. You may use the following registry file on Windows 10 Enterprise
Technical Preview:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
Import these settings into registry and start setup wizard from the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview setup CD. Voila! Windows will offer upgrade of your current setup of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview with
saving all your settings and applications!
The only thing that wasn't localized are the new app sections. I still see Explore Windows and Everyday apps. Probably, these UI strings haven't yet been translated.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

What is the easiest ways to create motion menus in Encore CS5 w/ After Effects CS5

Hello,
What is the easiest way to create motion Menus in Encore CS5? I'm creating a motion menu in after effects CS5 and will import as a menu in Encore, but I want to keep the animation, while the buttons will navigate you to the appropriate timelines. I want to keep the animation going throughout the duration of the menu?
Thanks,

Thanks Stan. Big Help

The first link is Encore CS5 help. It is a good beginning. I'm not sure if the tutorial it links to is the same as my second link. The AE help link below is also useful.
CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.
