After Effects CC (2014) Error "I need some serious help right now!"

I wanted to create a Superman opening title sequence from After Effects CC (2014). So, I decided to download it from Creative Cloud and put the new "amtlib.framework" file on package contents in the "Framework" folder. I open the application and I get this error.
Then, this other error popped up.
That's where I'm at right now. So, a few questions come to mind.
1. Should I open it in trial mode and quit out of it and then add the "amtlib.framework" file to "Framework" or will it just open and give me the same errors?
2. Do I have to turn off my Wi-Fi and then open the application?
3. Do I have to get the updates first?
Anyone who knows what to do with this issue, I would appreciate it. Don't give me BS answers and don't tell me that I have to update from Mavericks to Yosemite, because I have no interest in Yosemite.
Before I forget, here's info on my MacBook for those wondering.
This is an old laptop I had in the last week of January of 2011. I upgraded it to OS X Lion to Mavericks on 2014. I'm still on Mavericks.
Anyways, some answers and guidance would be great so I can fix the issue and move on.

This is an old laptop
Yes, it is. And with an unsuitable processor and insufficient graphics memory at that. This will never work. You can only download an older version of AE as a trial.

After Effects CC 2014 Error "error cannot be imported this moov file is damaged or unsupported"

Well, outside of the RAM preview issues that are stopping me from using AE CC 2014, I decided to at least use it to render a AE CC project already composed in CC.
I shut the CC project opened it in CC 2014 (same computer, same drive) and got the moov file error message. It would not recognize any Quicktime PNG movies, etc.
But the old CC does recognize them. Back to CC!

See this for troubleshooting QuickTime issues:

The permissions issue for the preferences folder seems to be the most common culprit recently.

How to get plugin file for After Effects CC 2014 (just bought creative cloud)

I just bought Creative Cloud, installed it, and then went to the Adobe site to install After Effects, since I couldn't find a way to do this on the CC menu. I have Mac OSx. I downloaded the After Effects CC 2014 app and it installed it onto my desktop. So when I go to applications>adobe there is no After Effects file and no plugins. And in the menu within After Effects there is no listing of the Effects & presets. I tried searching various things like "curves" and nothing showed up except for "contents"......any idea on how to solve this?

If you are telling us that you could not find After Effects in the Creative Cloud app then your system does not meet the minimum system requirements. If you somehow found a disk image and managed to run it and it gave you the option to choose Desktop when installing then you probably don't have a light copy of CC 2014, because it should only be installed using the CC app. Mac OSx tells us nothing. You could be on Lion, or Leopard, or Mountain Lion or even something else.
Tell us more about your system, show us what you get when and if you get AE to launch (sounds like you're looking inside the disk image for an app and it's not there), and give us the exact steps or error messages that you are seeing when you try and launch AE. BTW, plug-ins are only accessible from inside the timeline or the comp window when the App is running.

Problem updating After Effects CC (2014) I get this message: Update Failed Error encountered during installation. (U44M1P7)

Hi,
It’s version 13.1.1 It’s a trial version.
I am updating it from the Creative cloud desktop application.
I have the photography subscription with Lightroom and Photoshop with Creative Cloud.
I was interested in trying out the video software and have trials of Premiere Pro as well as others. The CC desktop app alerted me to the AF update just as it does for the others I subscribe to plus the ones I am using as trials. I have not had any problems with the other apps (trial or not), only with AF.
Thanks.

Per favore trovate una soluzione al mio problema anche perchè utilizzo Adobe After Effects per lavoro e se non funziona per me sarà un problema.

How can I load external file .txt in After Effects CC 2014.0 Release / Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)?

ello everybody.
Someone can help me to load a external file .txt in After Effects CC 2014.0 Release / Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)?
I tried the code bellow, but doesn't work.

$.evalFile(myPath);
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}catch(err){
"MISSING";
The source.txt file have the texts bellow:
var comp1 = ["Title”, “Subtitle”, “Description”];
var comp2 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
var comp3 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
Thanks.

This is the text file (with the modified first line) that I used:
var comp1 = ["Title", "Subtitle", "Description"];
var comp2 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];
var comp3 = ["Text 0", "Text 1", "Text 2"];

BTW - I did test it on AE CC 2014

After Effects CC 2014 crashing on startup

I downloaded the trial version of After Effects. By downloading it, it activated a 30-day trial. However, every time I try to start up the program, it gives me an error and crashes. I read on the forums issues about fonts and OpenGL, but it doesn't even give me detailed information on the crash. Anybody able to give me a bit of an assist on this? I use Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 on my PC. I primarily use Sony Vegas for my video work, however I was sent a file on AE and rather than get in contact with the client to have them resend it in .veg, I figured I could download the trial and open it there. No such luck. I've finished the work, but now this AE issue is just bugging me. I am interested in trying it, but if I can't get into the trial, it really curbs my interest in the program.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.

Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
     Yes. Creative Cloud says After Effects is up to date.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".

     Happens whenever I open After Effects via Shortcut, Start Menu, Program Files, or through Creative Cloud

Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

Bridge CC no compatible with the new After Effects CC 2014 ?

Hi, I'm updating the Adobe suite (CC 2014) .but After Effects CC 2014 no longer works with the old Bridge CC (there is no update of Bridge). Since "browse presets" in After Effects when choosing a preset (dissolves etc) there is an error message:
"After Effects error: can not import file" Entries lum.-marq.calque.ffx "unsupportedfiletype or extension (0 :: 1). With all presets.
I tried on other computers with other adobe updated it makes such licenses except with the old version of adobe after effects (after CC effects) I tried too to change language of Bridge and After effects (beharps this is a langage compatibility problem) but the problem is the same.
So I think the new version after effects CC 2014 is not compatible with the presets adobe bridge CC ??
How can I do? I have to go through the old version of after to apply a preset Bridge? I can not even download it in cloud creativ ... there is only the new version of after effects...

After Effects CC 2014 can't open my project anymore

Hello,
I was working on a project last night, saved my work, and this morning cannot open my project files. Here are reproduction steps:
1. Launch AE CC 2014
2. File > Open Project >
3. Select AEP
4. Nothing happens
There is no error message, no dialogue boxes, no warnings. Nothing happens. I have tried resetting my AE CC 2014 preferences, restarting my box, and tried importing the project file into a fresh AE project with no change in results (a folder does show up, but contains no data). Auto-saved AEP's also contain no data.
Here are my machine specs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 80 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB

After Effects CC 2014 - Crash on launch

At first - I've read all topics with that problem , and it doesn't work correctly.
I bought After Effects as Single Application yesterday. And I'm very sad, because of this problem. Can anyone help me?
I've tried this - CC Applications crash immediately after launch . It did not make any difference.
I can see the work space of After Effects at start for a slit second before crash. And then my window are makins smaller with crash. But it doesn't save any crash logs. I tried to fix it.
I've reinstalled program something about 5-6 times. I used Cleaner Tool too...
If I opened the topic in wrong way - sorry. I'm new here. Please, if u can - help me !
