How many cores and what frequency should have a processor to use Adobe After Effects?

Thank you

As many cores as you can comfortably afford and as fast and as much memory as you can comfortably pay for. Without knowing what you are doing it is an impossible question..

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

I only have the trial version of adobe after effects cc but is there any way I can use plugins on it?

I only have the trial version of adobe after effects cc but is there any way I can use plugins on it? Specifically trapcode particular cc

The trial version is in no way different from the full version, except that it only works for 30 days.

Does anyone have a link to a Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial Download, if so, please help

Hello, and thx for reading
I'm in need of an Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, there's no way to download it on the original website, because it has been replaced with CS5, and as much as I would've loved to get that, my computer can only support up to a 32 bit resolution, so I cannot install or use CS4 and CS5, that's when I found out that CS3 comes with a 32 bit resolution
But now I can't find a download for the Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, please help

Why do you think that After Effects CS4 can't run on a 32-bit operating system? It can. After Effects CS5, on the other had, is a 64-bit application.
There have been many threads in which this question has been asked and answered. Please search the forum before asking a question next time. Here 's one such thread, with all of the information that you need: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2951875

How many pods and layouts can I have open at the same time?

Hello,
I am planning on using Adobe Connect for a virtual brainstorming session..
I am going to take a slide deck with about 60 slides, and chop it up into 8 different sections, roughly 7-8 slides in each, which will be in a new layout. About 10 layouts in total.
To delay the load time when switching from one layout to another, I want to know if I can keep all 8 Content Pods open in each layout, so that when I switch, it simply brings up the already loaded pod, instead of closing the previous and loading each one when I change layouts. Is this going to make the entire session slow by having all this content on screen (Hidden behind the active pod) ? Or am I on to something here?
Thanks for your feedback.
-Matt

Matt,
I believe you determined that only one layout can be active at any given time. So, on to the pods question.
I would do it exactly as you have described. The initial layout may show longer load time, due to the amount of content that must be loaded, but changing between layouts should be very quick, as all the content is already loaded on each individual's computer, it is just a matter of brining the correct presentation to the front. With 7-8 slides per presentation, I don't think I'd worry that much about the initial load time either.
Of course, always do some testing on multiple computers to get an idea of how things will go in the live session, but I'd say run with the idea of 'hiding' pods to keep the transition time minimized.

I have the desktop version of adobe after effects CS6. Is there a way that I can upgrade to after effects CC for free?

Would I have to pay or do I upgrade for free?

Ned is correct upgrades are never free except for the rare occasion when the manufacturer offers it on a new purchase of something that's about to release a new version. e.g., Toshiba offers Windows 8 upgrades on some of their new computers with pre-installed Windows 7. (except the truth is pc's with Win 7 installed are priced at least $125 more than the same exact pc with Win 8 pre-installed)
I've never seen Adobe offer free programs or apps - especially upgrades. If you buy one of their older versions of Creative Suite you can find really good prices though. Like CS5 premium versions are going for as low as $300 U.S. dollars.
I will also add that you should be 100% sure that CC After Effects has something you want and KNOW how to use. As Ned pointed out things change and CC may not be what you think it is. Adobe might offer you a free trial period of 2 weeks if you purchase something else....

Teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using Adobe After Effects

I need to create a memorial video for a loved one that passed away. Can someone teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using AE? here is the video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4191kcW07f0 . Thanks

I'll give a very brief overview but, presuming that you are new to After Effects, understanding and executing on this overview will require learning the basics of After Effects.
You'll be creating a 3D scene based on a few 3D layers: one each for the floor and each wall. Each of those 3D layers will be a precomposition layer; the wall layer with the pictures will be based on a precomposition in which you have placed your pictures as individual layers. You will create some 3D lights shining down from above. You'll create a 3D camera that you will then animate to move down the hallway.
As I said, that is a very brief overview. Understanding each of those pieces will require some learning. After Effects is not a simple application, so you do need to be prepared to put in some learning time if you are going to do this yourself. Here is the place to start: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
All that said, I would recommend that you hire someone to do this for you. Learning a new and complex creative application under the time pressure (and other pressure) that you are under may be too much to ask.

How many IDs and Passwords do I have?

I'm confused with the different IDs and passwords used in my new mac life. There's itunes, the computer itself, discussions, imac.....
Are there really that many different setups? The only ones I'm sure I can get my arms around are discussions (I'm here, right?) and the computer itself since sometimes I'm asked for to install programs.
Is my iTunes password the same as discussion? How about .mac?
Thanks much,
Jeff

That worked but is there like a "one pass" key for all passwords?
1) You prolly don't want to do that. Important passwords, like online banking,
brokerage accounts, email accounts, etc. should be different (and more secure)
than the ones you use for discussion forums (like this one).
2) One-size-fits-all passwords aren't possible, anyway. Each organization has
different rules for formats, minimum/maximum numbers of characters, etc.
Occasionally, the rules conflict in such a way that it's not possible to find a
pattern that will work on both "account A" and "account B."

How many iMac and Macbook can I have on one Apple ID.

By profession I am an Software Developer recently I joined a small company and it came with bunch of other task and duties.
One is upgrading all the computers in the company to the latest 10.8 Mountain Lion version.
Now I know I need an Apple ID to buy the upgrade online but my question is that I have to create like 21 apple ID for the 21 computers or can i create one and use the same one on all computers to buy the 21 copies of Mountain Lion.
Because if I need to create 21 one ids I will need 21 email ids too.
Please advice the best possible solution, Thanks in Advance.

You need to contact Apple volume licensing for businesses, find it in the link that I'm giving to you. The licensed copy end user license agreement for the Mac App Store is for consumers only, you should not use them for business computers.

How many Samsung Stratosphere users do not have reliable network connectivity using hotspot or tethering?

I am on my 3rd phone in as little as 9 months because I have never been able to stay on the network using the hotspot or tethering. The network keeps disappearing and coing back on. I am in a 4 g area and right across the street from a main Verizon store. My antennae strength is full and my 4g indicator is on but it disappears so much that I cannot rely on network service with my phone. I actually went out and purchased a 4g aircard and that works just fine so I know its the phone and not the network. Its funny I keep getting put back into this phone when its the phone that has the problem. My salesman said after the 3rd phone you will be upgraded to the next best phone so hopefully Motorola Driod 4 will be the key top reliable network connectivity. I wish I knew how widespread this is or has been. I realize not a majority of Stratosphere users probably dont use the hotspot or tethering much but I use it or try to on a daily basis. I love the phone but not the hotspot or tethering capabilities. My newest phone never got any new apps or anything put on and it had problems outta the box.

This phone SUCKS period. I have only had it since July 27 and it has NEVER worked well. I was never told (of course other than small print) that I had two weeks to return and get a totally different phone if not happy. So the 15th day I found that out. They pulled my sim card it worked better for about one week. Than back to crap. So, I did a factory reset as they told me to. It worked for about another 2 weeks maybe. Now back to the same old thing again. Drops calls ALL THE TIME with full network strength I can here them they cannot here. Goes back to factory defaults all the time. Starts not ringing and going only into voice mail. Freezes up where you cannot even shut off, you have to take the battery out. Also, constantly loses connectivity even though it is showing 4G and all bars too.
Went in again to discuss this with them just today. HMM, first, if you go back to comolaints this has been a main complaint of this phone for a huge percentage of customers. Hmm, they are still selling it as a GREAT phone, that is what they said to me, ohhhh, no problems. Today they looked it up and supposabley says Samsung as of July 30th is aware of this problem and now has 90 days to fix it. Current fix. They SAY, pull the battery out EVERY night. Stuck with phone will not replace with a different model. Only same model. SUCKS...Oh and Verizon rep says to me " we are only the cell service. All warranty's are through your Samsung." Funny thing is. WHY are they still selling it on their shelf. I feel like sending a spy into tomorrow to same store and find out if they push the phone on them...BUSTED, I am sure they will. Meanwhile, it sure puts bumps in the road for our livelyhood if our only phone. Not work the retail value, so not buying my own phone to replace YET.
Good luck....Hopefully your third time is the charm and you will finally get a replacement for this Piece of CRAP.

What size should i make a web video in after effects?

Hi,
I am creating a web product video but don't know what size i should make it. Thanks.

Where will the video be stored online? Youtube? On your own server?
How will it fit into the web page it's being displayed on? Full screen? In a little sidebar?
Will the video ever need to be distributed in any other way, like DVD or Bluray?

How to speed-up the Ram Preview/Rendering using Adobe After Effects Cs 5.5?

Hi guys,
As the the title says, how can I increase the speed or make the ram preview render a lot faster or make the speed to the fullest?
I've done my researched already but I'm not sure if I did the right thing.
I will list down the things that I've done so far trying to make it faster.
1. Using the SECRET option (Pressing SHIFT) from the Preferences and ticked those two boxes - Disable layer Cache and Ignore sequence rendering errors.
2. Settings for the Memory and Multiprocessing. (Im not sure about this part, I mean I dont know if I did the right thing)
3. No other application's running
My Machine's specs are.
I'm using MSI GT70
-i7 CPU @ 2.30ghz
-16gb of RAM
-Nvidia GT675m
-64bit
I'd really appreaciated any help and a best settings for Mutltiprocessing.
Many thanks,

Most of the time I have MP turned off. Most of the plug-ins that I use are not MP aware and I seldom use AE's render Cue for rendering for delivery. I use AME and keep working on projects while I'm rendering.
Basic rules, at least 2GB per processor, at least 1 processor for other apps, Make sure the CPU's actually used matches the CPU's assigned, then test with your most common project. If you are doing something tha bogs down the system just turn it off.
