How do I access after effects?

I downloaded After Effect last night from the creative cloud and am lost to how to acces it?

You start After Effects the same way that you start any application on your operating system (e.g., choosing it from the Start menu on Windows or double-clicking the icon in the Applications folder on Mac OS).

How can I use After Effects filters on a whole sequence without getting stuck in After Effects?

It appears that, with the options that are visible to the user, Dynamic Link only goes one-way and can't make round trips from Premiere Pro to After Effects and back again. If I send a sequence to After Effects, that part works fine and I can do what I want and save the comp. However, even though the comp appears as an asset in Premiere Pro, I am not allowed to do anything with it. If I try to drag it to a new sequence, it just says no. If I click "Create Sequence from Clip" it creates an empty sequence.
So how can I use After Effects on whole sequences/tracks instead of just on a clip-by-clip-by-clip-by-clip-by-clip basis? is this possible? For instance, if I have a whole sequence where I've neutralized the white balance, I might want to apply a warming filter to the whole thing as a unit. That would be really painful with even a few clips to keep doing that again and again, and if you want to modify it slightly you have to do it over and over. If there is a way to do that through Dynamic Link through some hidden option, what happens with the audio? Would I have to cut it out of the lower sequence and paste it into the higher sequence with the After Effects comp as a video track?

I'm not an Adoby guy, hence you may ignore my reply, but Adobe Dynamic Link is obviously not just one way ticket and in most cases works just fine.
You have already been explained by J-MS and tclark513 how to properly use it and which pitfalls may occur.
So as to apply an effect onto a whole sequence or a group of clips you need to either nest them in PrPro or pre-compose them in AE. Then just apply an effect (or several ones) onto that composition.
So, if you nest clips in PrPro, select your nested sequence in the timeline, right-click and choose 'Replace with After Effects Composition'. Done! Your dynamically linked AE composition is in the right place in your timeline and in your Project panel as well. If you can not treat it as an ordinary footage, there are obviously some mistakes in your workflow.
If you didn't nest your sequence or a group of clips in PrPro before replacing them with AE composition, you may easily do it within AE. Just select all the layers in AE composition and choose Layer -> Pre-compose... (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C) Done! Switch back to your Master comp and apply your desired effect(s)
You may loose some effects or/and transitions while travelling from PrPro to AE via Adobe Dynamic Link, whereas you don't while travelling back
(If you start building your AE composition from scratch right in AE and then need to import it into PrPro, DO NOT export one as PrPro project out of AE, but rather choose Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import After Effects Composition... within PrPro)
P.S. And yes, submit a feature-request so that Adobe will convert 'Transparent Video' into fully functional 'Adjustment Layer'.

How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?

How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?
I cant even find it in creative cloud.
I want to make a intro but it dossent allow me to even find/ istall it.
I hope some one will help me by anwsering my question.
Than you for time.

If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements you have to go back to a version that does. Try the direct download links you'll find here.. CS5 comes bundled with CS4 for AE which is the last version to run on a 32 bit system.

I NEED A SOLUTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK THE AFTER EFFECT "Action Trailer.aep"

I NEED A SOLUTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK THE AFTER EFFECT File, "Action Trailer.aep"

We seriously don't have enough information to help you.
What do you mean by "unlock"?
My wild, shot-in-the-dark guess is that you've got some sort of template that, when you try to save, says that it's locked. If that's the case, try using "Save As" instead. If that's not your problem, refer to Todd's link and provide more info.

ExtendScript Toolkit can't access After Effects 13.1

It seems like ExtendScript Toolkit can't access After Effects 13.1. It's not available in the dropdown choices
and when I try targeting it with `#target "aftereffects-13.1"` I get this error (in french):

When I try to open After Effects from my Mac, the programs will not run without OX 11.0.2.
Something is obviously being lost in translation here. Adobe's programmers obviously know which is the latest version of OS X (and it's not 11.0.2).
What is the exact error message word for word? Screenshot would be even better.

How do I get after effects to render with my GPU?

Yea, really noob question, but I can't figure it out!
Spent literally HOURS trying to find how to do this.. Use my GTX 670 to render instad of CPU. Can't figure it out. I finally (I think) figured out where to change the setting to raytraced rendering, but it still REFUSES to use it. I can't work like this! Countless hours to render a 4 min video with an i7? I am checking with a hardware monitor, and my GPU isn't getting used.
I don't have the time (or inclination) to watch hours and hours of tutorial videos. I am the type of person that uses templates and modifies them to my needs/desires, so pointing me to a "generic" after effect tutorial website will do no good.
Now, I only mention this to show that I don't come running for help every time I have a small problem, and refuse to try and find the answer myself. I have myself learned how to edit text, make it appear and disappear. Slow down and speed up an entire composition and much much more all by using google. But I obviously can't get the wording right with google because I can't find a solution.

You cannot enforce GPU raytracing if your card is not supported and that is that. If adding the card to the raytracer_supported_cards.txt file and updating the graphics driver doesn't do it, then nothing will. You are using dead technology, anyway.

Switching to Mac, how to set up After Effects

I just received my new Mac Pro and subscribed to Adobe Cloud.
I'm setting up After Effects and need to set my Media Cache for fast processing. I am reading that I should set it to write to a separate hard drive from what I am saving my project to, but I don't know how to navigate to the folder that would write these files. Where is this located on the system?
Processor 3.33 GHz 6 Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
OS X 10.8.2

Open up you preferences file by clicking on After Effecs in the menu bar and then picking preferences.

How to create an after effects plugin using c++?

I've gotten to the point of downloading the after effects sdk. Although I am still lost and other than here, there are very little places where they give you proper information, if any at all, on how to develop after effects plugins using c++.

How do I make After Effects CS5.5 preview in full FPS?

I have After Effects CS5.5 and whenever I put a clip into it and try to play the clip in a preview I get a message in the player that says its playing at a certain frame rate out of the frame rate it should be and then in parentheses (not realtime). How do I fix this because the average FPS I get on a preview is around 9 FPS which for me is unusable a lot of the time.

To answer your question directly, don't push play! AE can't play a thing because it was never designed to. Do a RAM Preview by hitting zero on the numeric keypad.
And since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html.

How to enable GPU after effects cs6?

I have a Intel HD Graphics 4000 on my macbook pro. How do I enable the GPU if after effects. It should be compatible but how?
Thanks in advance.

As I said, there is nothing that you need to do to enable the OpenGL features. They just work automatically.
Regarding the CUDA feature, the ray-traced 3D renderer: That feature requires CUDA, which is a hardware architecture that your GPU simply does not have. It is an Nvidia technology that is only on Nvidia GPUs.
This is all explained in the page that I lined to in my previous post.
However, you should not concern yourself with the ray-traced 3D renderer. The ray-traced 3D renderer is an obsolete feature that has been superseded by several better ways of doing 3D in After Effects, including using Cinema 4D (which is included with After Effects now):
