Is After Effects 5.5 compatible with 5.0?

I'm sure there must be some way to convert it if its not directly compatible but I need to know if there is any problems that may occur.

I assume that you mean CS5 and CS5.5, not 5 and 5.5. After Effects 5 and 5.5 came out almost ten years ago.
Also, your question isn't clear.
Are you asking if projects created in After Effects CS5 can be opened in After Effects CS5.5? If so, the answer is yes.
Or are you asking if projects created with After Effects CS5.5 can be opened in After Effects CS5? If so, see this page.

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
Greetings,
Daniel

If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it. No guarantees, but it may help. For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that. AE wasn't.

After Effects CC 2014 Crashing with Magic Bullet Looks on Mac

Hi,
I recently installed the upgrade to the latest After Effects CC 2014 v13.0 and found the Magic Bullet Looks now causes After Effects to crash. I'm using MBL v2.5.2
I opened the Activity Monitor and noticed that whenever the crash occurs the Adobe QT32 Server is in a state of (Not Responding)
On a clip I can apply the MBL plugin with no problems and even if I am copying a previously set up version from a previous clip, it applies and renders without trouble. I can click "Edit" on the plugin controls, open up the MBL control window and make all the adjustments I need without any trouble. The issue is when I then click either "Finished" or "Cancel" to go back to After Effects. The program freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death for about ten seconds and the the whole thing, MBL and AE shut down.
I am running:
MacBook Pro
OS 10.9.4
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i72.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Cuda 6.0.54
The footage is Apple Quicktime ProRes HQ
I have Quicktime v10.3 installed and Quicktime Pro v7.6.6
I am at a loss as of how to fix or even work around this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

There was a bug in MBL on Premiere CC 2014 that was causing crashing and lockups. Red Giant released an update quite quickly that so far seems to have fixed it for me. I know you're talking about AE but maybe there's some common code that was also fixed? As Rick says, have you checked the latest ver of MBL?

Photoshop and After Effects is not installing with the new updates, any suggestions?

Each time the update says that the "update failed". I have tried the update several times, both on my laptop and my iMac. Photoshop finally installed on the iMac, but neither will update on the MacBook Pro.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but check to make sure that you have Rosetta installed in Mac OS and then try again to install After Effects. I know that Mac OS has a (mistaken) dependency on Rosetta for After Effects to run. It _may_ be that this dependency also causes a problem with installation.
Here's a document that lists some know issues with After Effects on Snow Leopard:

When you do get After Effects CS4 installed, be sure to immediately update to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2).

After Effects CC Render Errors with RED footage and ProRes 4444 proxies

Working on an 8 Core, 2008 Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM running Mountain Lion.
I just upgraded to After Effects CC and I'm having a whole bunch of errors ...
-- the 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported
-- error getting package info for file "..." ( 3 :: 164 )
-- Error (4) reading frame from file "..." ( 86 :: 2 )
I'm trying to make ProRes 4444 proxies from RED files (sometimes as big as 4K), which will eventually end up in a 1920x1080 project. I'll make a 4444 proxy, work on it all day with no problems, then when I try to render (or save a RAM preview) any one of the previous errors will show up.
My projects seemed to work just fine fine in AE CS6, and I've worked with RED footage in AE before with little issue. I've completly restarted my system, re-installed everything, worked off an external drive, worked on my internal (software) RAID, rendered to local and external hard drives, adjusted my multiprocesser render settings (on and off), cleared the cache ... nothing is fixing it.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Or insight. Or anything?!
Thanks for your time,
Eliot

I'm working on a MacbookPro, Early 2013, OS X 10.8.4, and I'm having the same exact error:
However instead of using RED footage, I'm using a 3rd party plugin called Element 3D and Optical Flares from VideoCopilet.net.
I'm not sure if the bug is related, I'm just wondering if anyone else has any idea on how to fix this problem. I have a fresh install of CC so I can't downgrade to CS6.
Another error popped up during multiple trys in export:
In case the old file was actually corrupted, I checked all my backups that worked perfectly fine with CS6 in the past, and I get the same error when I copy them over to my hard drive on my mac.
My current setup is:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
I really don't want to recreate this entire file from scratch. That would be a lot of hours wasted... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Clips from Premiere not appearing in After Effects when replacing them with an AE composition

I am attempting for the first time, moving my edit from a sequence in Premiere Pro (CC) to After Effects, in an effort to color correct my clips in Ae rather than Pr. I highlight all the clips in my edit from my sequence, right click, and select "Replace with After Effects Composition." This then opens After Effects as it is suppose to, and has me create a new project. It then shows that I have created a new linked composition, the way it is suppose to, but does not have any clips linked with it. As I understand, your project tab will show both the composition and the clips. I am only getting the composition. What do I need to do to send my sequence from Premiere to After Effects?

I think it's a bug. The same thing happens to me. To work around it, I go to AE and either import the Pr project choosing the sequence I want, or I use the Adobe Dynamic Link command to link to the desired sequence.

How can I update After Effects CS6 to work with Mavericks?

I bought CS6 in September and now I have updated to Mavericks on my Mac. It says it won't run on Mavericks? Is there a new download? I don't want to move to Creative Cloud, I just want to keep my purchased version.

Adobe After Effects CC and CS6 require updates to be compatible.

After Effects CC not working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2

Hello.
Today I downloaded the trial version of After Effects CC and when I opened it I got this message.
I am really angry seeing that I need After Effects to do a project. Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
AngrySc0rpi0n

Did you check system requirements? What else is running? If you have enough ram, enough screen resolution, and enough free space on your drive AE should run.
Something may be conflicting with AE. Did you try a re-boot?

After Effects CS6 render problem with exactly one frame or exactly at one point in the timeline.

I've recently tried to render a project in After Effects CS6 but everytime I render the render fails at exaclty one frame or a time in the timeline, in this frame or point in timeline I have a composition with the following effects: Twixtor Pro and inside that composition I have the video with the following effects: Motion Tiles and Wave Warp. I rendered the project in H.264 format with a 8 bitrate. I tried to fix this even by trying to render the project as a TIFF Sequenece but the render keeps failing and the final output is only the part of the video until that exact frame. I have caps lock on to try to speed up my render. Any help would be appreaciated and let me know if you need more information and i'll try to give you more.

Set your work area to about 5 frames before the fail and 5 frames after and see if you get a fail.
If you get a fail then start turning off a layer at a time until you find the culprit. Let us know what's going on there.
A screenshot of the timeline with all properties revealed may also give us some ideas.

After Effects did not install with the rest of CS4

I purchased the Student Edition of CS4 Production Premium. When I ran the installer I selected "custom" and AE was unchecked and it would not let me check it. I did regular install and it did not install AE. I used all 4 discs in the box. Any thoughts?
This is the Mac version.

After Effects and enabling GPU with the AMD Radeon R9 M295X

I have the new 27in iMac with an AMD Radeon R9 M295x. As far as I can tell, I am limited to CPU rendering in After Effects.
I keep reading that GPU is available as long as I don't need CUDA and nVidia for Ray Tracing.
As it is, I'm only seeing CPU available. GPU is grayed out.

Show a screenshot of exactly what you're seeing that has you concerned. From your brief description, it seems that everything is functioning normally.
