Is Live Type Apples version of Adobe After Effects?

Hello i was curious to know if live type is apples version of adobe after effects? now i know they are not the same but i started learning adobe after effects and it seems very similar...I don't want to try and learn another program if i can do the same thing with live type... I was looking into video editing as a career and have been teaching myself a bunch of things but i see that in the video production field that Adobe after effects is used alot and ppl want you to be familiar with it.. So i'm basically asking with the knowledge can the same thing be accomplished in live type as in after effects ?
Thank you

Hi jbonante
Despite its name, LiveType does more than just manipulate text and create title cards.
If you do a search of YouTube, you will many interesting examples of how LT has been used, for example one I did:

Do you really need After Effects, Motion etc for what you are trying to create?

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.

Trial version load file error: ... created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe After Effects 6.0 last night and worked on a project for quite some time. This morning, when I tried to open the project, it gave me: After Effects Error: this file was created with a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application.
The message is annoying. This means that if anyone send me an After Effects File from future versions, I cannot load them. Even Microsoft has converters for backwards compatibility
It is costing me time to evaluate the product, and lowering my opinion of it since it obviously has bugs

Ah, I see. So you are using 6.0, not CS6? Yes, in that case things are just as they are - AE is not forward compatible. Only CS5.5 and CS6 allow to save one version back (that is CS5 and CS5.5, respectively), but beyond that AE never offered this feature. anyway, AE 6.0 is hopelessly outdated. It doesn't even work on contemporary operating systems nor does it work properly with current versions of Quicktime and just the same it doesn't support any modern media formats, so that's like trying to fly to the moon with a WW I. airplane... and to make matters worse - AE 6.0 was one of the most bug-ridden versions of the program in the first place.

This file was created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe After Effects last night and spent a lot of time learning how to use the product, created my first tracking face on a body in a video.
This morning when I tried to open the project I got an error message: After Effects Error: this file was created using a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application!
What should I do?

Sounds odd. If you created it in CS6 it should open just fine in that same version. chances are that the project fiel is simply damaged. Impossible to tell without actualyl seeing the file.

Scaled down version of Adobe After Effects

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a scaled down version of Adobe After Effects that is compatible with Final Cut Express 4 (under $200 USD). Or is buying/downloading various FX plug ins my only option? I'm just getting started in FCE4 so I don't really know what is available in the current market. If anyone can direct me to a good resource I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi(Bonjour)!
There isn't striped down version for AE
Try the education discount price at your college. Or buy used from a serious seller on eBay.

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....

I am unable to download the trial version of Adobe After Effects.

I am trying to download the trial version of After Effects for testing. I downloaded Edge animate from the cloud several months ago with no probelem. Safari says it can not open the address. Is this a firewall issue? I am trying to convince my boss to allow me to subscribe to the creative cloud but so far this is not helping running into to techical difficulties this early in the process. Thanks for any response.
UPDATE: I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Creative Cloud download app. It seems to have downloaded and installed fine but when I go to download a trial app nothing happens, nor do I know what to do. The creative cload window opens in my mac and that's all. Any suggestions.
I have also noticed the CC icon on the top title bar of my mac remains dim, don't know if that is an issue. The only options it gives me is Help, Open as window and Close Creative Cloud. What gives?
Thanks for any responses.

We being a state agency, we have many security measures in place on our servers. It seems that all IT had to do was make an addition to our proxy. Problem solved. Everything downloaded fine and is working great. Now the fun/work begins.

I tried the free trial version of adobe after effects. When i click the setup button in the adobe cs4 folder, it says you can not finish the installation when adobe media player is running, but i don't have it open i keep trying and the same thing happens

What do i do

Actually I simply would uninstall anything related to Adobe AIR, including AMP or the Acrobat.com widget. If you just uninstall AMP, one of ther others is going to bite you in your behind. It's a flwa in the installer that does not correctly detect and handle outdated versions of Adobe AIR.

My current version is Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.3. It's problem is I can't update 13.02 version

I have a problem with After Effect version update because when I saved my After Effect project file at my Mac laptop, After Effect Verison was 11.0.3. So When I went to Mac desktop in edit suite room in University and tried open my project on the Mac desktop. The message pop out and said this project must be converted from version 11.0.3 (Macintosh 64). The original file will be unchanged. So Mac desktop have After Effect's version is 13.02 and I can't update my Mac laptop because I can' find After Effect 13.0.2 update file anywhere in the internet. so Can you help me to solve this problem, please because I will hand in my university assignment next month.
Thanks

Until your project is finished, you can ONLY work on it using your laptop. Don't try to work on it using a different machine.
Unless you RENT CS6 -- that is, you didn't purchase it, but pay a monthly fee to use it -- you won't have acess to 13.0.2.
This isn't a simple update -- this is installing a new VERSION of the software, and beginning with version 12, the software is rented.
So get your project done on your own machine, then worry about whether or not you should incur a monthly expense to have the latest version of AE. Don't change horses in mid-stream!
Now, there IS a way to work on both your laptop and that other machine, but it is downright messy! It also involves having access to AE Creative Cloud (aka Version 12) on that machine -- so until you can confirm that fact, I'm not even going to describe the messy process.
I stick to my original advice -- keep the project on the laptop unless you enjoy missing deadlines. Or due dates.

How to uninstall trial version of adobe after effects on vista

been having problems doing this, it wont work in the control panel when try to uninstall it. any help?

This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
If that fails try the AE forum.

Adobe After Effects CC - Trial Version - Mac OS Mavericks 10.9

In the official webpage, it is stated that owner of the trial version of Adobe After Effect cannot use the update that solve the problems with the new OS system.
Anyone of you knows how a trial version owner can start use again After Effect? Shall I wait for the new release 11.0.3?
thanks

The After Effects CC (12.0.1) update that just fixes the single bug for Mac OS X v10.9 (Mavericks) can't be used with the trial version:

The After Effects CC (12.1) update coming next week can be used with the trial version, and it includes the same fix plus many, many more:

Adobe After Effects CS3 won't install

I have windows XP, and I used to have my version of Adobe After Effects CS3 installed. Then I uninstalled it because it kept crashing, but I forgot to deactivate it before I uninstalled it. Now every time I've tried reinstalling it, the installation goes completely fine until the last step, when it says:
Summary:
Successfully installed: 3 component(s):
Adobe After Effects CS3 Template Projects and Footage
Adobe After Effects CS3 Third Party Content
Shared Components
Errors: 2 component(s):
Adobe After Effects CS3
Component install failed
Shared components
component install failed
I don't know how to fix this! I've tried multiple times at reinstalling it but each time without success. I've also ran the installation as administrator, and I've restarted my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Did you correctly uninstall the software? Are there other Adobe programs on the system? Sounds like there are other, newer versions that throw off the install. You need to uninstall those and reinstall them after you have installed CS3. Also simply delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\caps. And for further diagnosis it might help to have a look at the install logs.

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

Can I use adobe after effects with my project from premiere elements

Wondering if I can use adobe after effects with my premiere elements project

drunner
What version of Adobe After Effects do you have?
Whatever the case, I have not found any Adobe After Effects documentation that include a Premiere Elements project.prel file as a supported import choice.
I suspect that you are going to have to export your Premiere Elements Timeline as a .mp4 file with a After Effects supported compression into After Effects.
But, I would ask in the Adobe After Effects Forum just to double check.
After Effects
More later.
