Is After Effects CS4 compatible with Mavericks?

Can't seem to find that info anywhere, which leads me to believe the answer is No...

After Effects CS6 and CC are the only versions supported on Mavericks.
See this page for crucial updates:

Adobe After Effects not working with Mavericks?

Great. I knew better, but I watched the **** presentatiuon, and "upgraded" tyo Mavericks. Now I get this when I try to open After Effects
I have the latest After Effects. I'm on a deadline. I'm ******.
D'oh. At least I backed everything up.
Hope anyone else using After Effects reads this before upgrading.

This update is ONLY FOR MAVERICKS. You can't update through Creative Cloud, to prevent users of other operating systems from installing it.

Does After Effects CS4 come with tempaltes?

Our company bought the suite and it was installed by IT. Can someone tell me does After Effects, Encore etc come with templates?
Thanks

Yes, After Effects comes with template projects. See the
"Template projects and example projects" section of After Effects Help.
If by 'templates' you meant something else, like
animation presets, just say so and we'll point you in the right direction.

After Effects CS4 freezing with RAM preview audio?

Firstly, I'm on a mac. This problem just started a few hours ago after I made some system updates. When I hit preview in a comp with audio it runs through the frames, then locks up when it would normally start playing. I just get that dang spinning beach ball of doom. If I turn off the audio on the layer, it previews fine. I believe the only think I had updated when this problem began was upgrading to quicktime 7.6.2. Would this effect the RAM preview? Since the problem, I've updated AE to 9.0.2 and OS 10.5.7 with no change.
Anyone come across something similar?
Thanks

Mmh, well, seems ominous, but quite obviously QT is somehow involved. do you use any dedicated video hardware such as AJA or BMD cards? If so, the QT update may have introduced an incompatibilty with their drivers... Even if not using any such equipemnt, definitely check your QT system control panel. Also use OnyX to flush your QT components cache. They may just need to re-initilaized to function properly. Short of that I'm not aware of such issues, but anything is possible. If the issue persists, using Pacifist and downgrading your QT may be the only option. What Mac are you on exactly?

Is Fireworks CS4 compatible with Maverick 10.9.5?

I've searched discussions about this and see conflicting responses. Some say they are not at all compatible some say they are.
I am getting the message that my license for this product has stopped working - Error Code: 150:30.

Yes.. as you have found..There is a nasty graphical issue in LP8 (A large black vertical bar that prevents the proper viewing of the arrange window) when used to 10.9 or 10.10 OS X versions...
There will be no fix for it, it seems LP8 is considered EOL these days... by Apple ( EOL - End Of Line so no further updates)
Best bet, if you can.. is to revert/roll back to your pervious OS X / LP8 combination via backups... and then create a separate bootable external HD to install the newer OS X versions upon so you can use features the newer OS X's provide.. and boot to that when you wish.. so you can switch back and forth between your older OS/Logic Pro 8 combo and say, Yosemite.

After Effects CS4.0

I am looking to evaluate After Effects for my corporation. I have a 32bit machine and need a demo version of this software.

You will be missing out on a large number of great features if you stick to a 32-bit environment, I would recommend looking into upgrading the hardware itself if you are interested in After Effects.
If you need a chance to test it for now, install the trial of CS4 and see if you like the software. When you are convinced, and you will be, then feel free to purchase Production Premium CS6. Why? http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/64-bit-windows-required-effects.html - if you purchase CS6 and you cannot run it in the 64-bit environment we require, we can get you a serial number for CS4 that you can use with your purchase. Then, when you do get around to upgrading your hardware, and you will really want to, then you already have CS6 ready to use.
Just wanted to call out the following piece of info from the article I linked to from above -
Windows 32-bit users: You can install the 32-bit versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 included with the CS5 and CS5.5 versions of the Production Premium and Master Collection suites. For users with version CS6, contact Adobe Customer Service to request your serial number for Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. After upgrading to a compatible 64-bit operating system, you can install and use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5 and later.
The 32-bit versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 can be downloaded here:

Unable to open After Effects CS4 Mac OS

I just downloaded some updates via Adobe updater and the After Effects update wouldn't install after 2 attempts. Now After Effects won't even open. I am issued a window that reads:
"check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS4 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and MAC OS X."
How can this be if nothing has been changed? I have the CS4 Master Suite and I am going to waste a whole day reinstalling everything
Is there another option or will I have to begin the reinstall?
Thanks

Apologies,
I am running version 10.6.6 and yes the software was working fine before the update. The thing that's most puzzling is the update failed to install. All the other Adobe programmes (Photoshop etc) work fine, After Effects is the only one experiencing problems.
I contacted technical support and they said to copy the file from the installation disc onto desktop and boot from there but that has not worked either. They are going to contact me tomorrow to see if everything went smoothly.
I will give the cleaner a try.
Many thanks!

Is Adobe CS4 compatible with Mac OSX Maverick?

Hello,
Is Adobe CS4 compatible with Mac OSX Maverick?
Thk

I just upgraded my OS to Mavericks X, and my previously installed Photoshop CS4 failed to run when I tried to launch it.
I even downloaded a brand new version from a link here that was in a "Mavericks X" column, giving me SOME confidence that it might just function on the new OS.
So far, I've been down 3 days since upgrading my OS. I cannot get Photoshop CS4 to run, no matter what I've tried!
Yes, I've uninstalled the prior version before installing the new one. I entered all of my serial number and registration information, and still NOTHING! Bridge appears to work fine, but Photoshop CS4 is just one big crater right now!
I'd like to just talk with a human at Adobe on the phone for a few minutes, which should be all that's needed to get it resolved, but they do NOT offer phone support for Photoshop products!!! And, I'm unable to locate how to even become a "Premium Member" (paid) that will allegedly provide phone support!
HELP!

After effects cs4 won't install with the Adobe Creative Suite 4

yesterday I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, i let it download through out the night and the next day i installed it and noticed that it came every single application except after effects cs4. there is no folder or icon for it, but everything else works. im in the process of uninstalling it and re-installing it, but i doubt it will help. i downloaded the after effects cs4 trail months ago, then deleted it. i don't think that's the problem though.I called adobe and was on hold for literally two hours, and when i was able to talk to someone they were not really able to help much.
im on a macbook, version 10.5.8
2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo
2 gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
EDIT: i installed it again, looked at the install options more closely and realesed that it does come with it, it just wont let me install it or check it to be installed, because it says its already installed. i checked all over my hard drive for it and its not there. i really need some help.
any help would be appreciated, thanks.
also if I waited and got after effects cs5 do you think it would actually work, and would i be able to get the student discount again?

We cannot know. We need exact system info. As a start, you might consider turning off UAC completely and running as admin...

About the crash on quit with After Effects CS4 on Mac OS...

This post on Jeff Almasol's blog gives some information about an issue with ScriptUI scripts that can cause After Effects CS4 on Mac OS to crash when you quit the application:
about the crash on quit with After Effects CS4 on Mac OS...
Trish and Chris Meyer recommend a couple of workarounds on the
ProVideo Coalition website.

I want to maximize the use of the render farm and not just limit it to AE, I want to be able to render in multiple creative applications. Deadline looks good except as of today its Windows/Linux only: http://www.franticfilms.com/software/products/deadline/feature_set/
I want to throw in Final Cut Studio into the Mix along with Modo, Houdini, C4D and other applications, but strictly on Mac OS X.

Dynamic Link for Premiere and After Effects CS4 with Titles

I've created a Rolling Title in Premiere Pro CS4. I'd like to create a Dynamic Link to bring the title into After Effects CS4 to add effects that will show up in Premiere. I've watched a few video tutorials on Dynamic Link and read the documentation and tried a variety of permutations but can't seem to get this done.
Also saw something in these forums about problems using Dynamic Link with Titles (as opposed to regular clip??)
And something about Premiere and After Effects projects being saved together ??in same folder - is that correct?
So, could someone explain if this can be done and the right way to do it?
Thanks

Thanks Mylenium - appreciate the quick and focused reply.
I would like to keep the benefits of the Premiere Pro Titler (to play with the length of time by stretching or squashing the Title block on the timeline; to type in time to stay on screen at end; ease in and out etc . . .). If I do render out a png / tiff / or psd sequence with alpha, and bring that into AFX to play with. Will I still retain the ability to use the Titler features in Premire Pro, or do I essentially have to convert it to 'regular footage' on reimport as opposed to a 'Title?"
Thanks

Adobe After Effects CS4 loads N8 video with 500 fp...

I tried to import HD video captured with Nokia N8 in Adobe After Effects CS4 and it imports it with 500 fps. I also tried to import it to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and I got same results.
Video is accelerated, originally 40 seconds, in Adobe 2 seconds. I tried to modify it in Adobe After Effects and after I set it to 25 fps, length is normal, but the sound isn't.
Does anybody know solution for that?

Nobody can't help me?
I have mobile phone with 12MP HD camera and I need to use my old 3.2MP DVD camera because Nokia screwed up something.
Do you know what codecs Nokia N8 is using, so I could check online for them? Maybe that will fix the problem.

After effects cs4 help

i am trying to install adobe after effects cs4. i am running on win7. i know it is compatible because i have had the trial version before and it worked just fine but i uninstalled it a while ago. now i decided i want the full version but when i try to run the .exe a windows error pops up and says that "adobe after effects cs4 has stopped working windows is searching for a solution." i have tried to let it figure out what the problem is but no help. tried to convert to a .uif file and mount it to a drive hoping that by some chance that would help but that didnt work either. please help.

Any other Adobe apps on the system? If so, do they include any public Betas (Flash Catalyst, Lightroom 3 for instance)? Did the apps update recently? The recent Adobe Reader updates seem to habve some ill effects. In any case, if you have other Adobe tools, uninstall them all, run the CS4 Clean Script, delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps and start with a clean slate. If you need to install other tools, make sure to install them in correct order, i.e. older versions first, then CS4, then all updates and only as a final step any Betas.

After Effects CS4 and converting to a lossless format

I posted in the Adobe Premiere forums about an issue I was having with my renders. If you want to read it then you can check it out with the url below.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2622969#2622969
What I have figured out is that After Effects does not like my AVCHD files I get from my camera. (They are h.264 in an ,m2ts file type and not mp4)
The issue is that I get "echos" or skips when I render something in After Effects or render with Media Encoder via dynamic link and Premiere Pro CS4.
What I am not familar with is the types of files that many of you who are more expereinced than I am use for After Effects when you need to convert to a lossless format (or one as close as you can get to being "lossless."
I was wondering if someone could recommend the kinds of files I should be converting to and if you have a good method of converting them. Not that I want people to discuss other software here, but if you do not use Adobe programs to convert, then what kinds of files do you convert to?
In other words, where do you recommend I begin reading or researching this because a lot of companies sell conversion programs. I currently have one that I paid for but it does not do the job I need it to do for HD. I would like to keep it as close to HD quality as possible.
FYI I generally will do video work with some effects and green screen work in After Effects. My output is video. If you have any other questions about my process, then please do not hesitate to ask me. Other than that, I appreicate anyone's guidance.

Yeah, AE does not like video files with interframe compression. It processes video in a completely different way than a non-linear editing program like Premiere does. My friend Dave LaRonde from the friendly forums at CreativeCOW.net explains it this way:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, mp4, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
You have experienced this delightful problem for yourself.
There are several different file formats that people use. Uncompressed AVI is one as is Quicktime with the animation codec. However, lately folks seem to prefer Quicktime with the PNG codec (not a PNG sequence). It produces a significantly smaller file size, but is still effectively lossless.
You can use the Adobe Media Encoder to export it out of Premiere to use in AE.
