Questions about Adobe After Effects CS5 and CS5.5

I have the Adobe Design Creative Suite CS5 (Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, Flash CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, InDesign CS5, and Fireworks CS5) and was going to order an old copy of After Effects CS5 for my iMac. However when I was about to order on an online store, I notice that there is a CS5 and a CS5.5 version for After Effects. I would like to know which version is better and if I get Adobe After Effects CS5.5 version will I be able to intergrate with CS5 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash?
Alos is there a way for to order a copy of Adobe After Effects CS5(or CS5.5 version) on the Adobe online store? I don't want to order the CS6 version of After Effects because I'm afraid I will not be able to intergrate it with my CS5 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash.

You should get After Effects CS6. There is no reason to be concerned about using After Effects Effects CS6 with Flash, Illustrator, and Photoshop CS5.

Adobe After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 wont work on OS lion

I just bought a teacher Edition of Adobe Production Premium. I installed the softwares on my Mac which is running OS Lion 10.8.2. Everything works except Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Premiere CS6. It always start up with the splash page then a pop up window opens that reads unexpected error occured send to apple.
I don't understand because Photoshop, illustrator and the other softwares worked fine.
I have tried uninstalling, re-installing, re-starting and even tried to download the After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 on creative cloud thinking that maybe those on the web will be more updated to address the issue.
But still I cant get it to work.
Please help.

Adobe After Effects, Premiere and Encoder does not use the GPU (CUDA) ?

Please! Explain me. Why? Adobe After Effects, Premiere and Encoder does not use GPU (CUDA) ?
Everytime i have GPU Load from 0 to 10% !!! (GeForce GTX 970) And also my CPU load is not full. Any suggestions?

Which chipset is on your system's motherboard? Which motherboard is your PC equipped with?
If the motherboard is using an AMD 790 or 970 series chipset, the HyperTransport bus will be running at a reduced speed, and thus the CPU performance will be worse than a quad-core Intel i5 CPU without hyperthreading. In many instances, this means that the GPU will be laying idle, waiting for the CPU to catch up.
If on the other hand the motherboard uses an AMD 990FX chipset, then it's likely that there is something else bottlenecking your PC.

Adobe After Effects CS6 and empty MediaCore file won't load...

I have just installed Adobe After Effects CS6 because CC was too difficult for me to learn but CS6 has it's own problems. When I launch the program it gets stuck while loading the "MediaCore" file. I went to find the file, but there was nothing in it. Why can't I use CS6?

I just think the interface in CS6 is a bit easier.
I don't see much difference in the interface between CC 2014, CC, and CS6. Now, the CC 2014 update that's coming out in a month or so, looks somewhat different/better. But it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is that you are able to work. Although, if you could share what you find more difficult in CC (or CC 2014), perhaps we could help you get past it so you can enjoy the new features.

Problem Rendering - After Effects CS4 and CS5

Hello,
This problem happens on both my laptops, both of which are more than capable of running and rendering in after effects. When I render the video, it comes out verry choppy and slow. My specs are:
Dell Studio XPS 1645
Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core @ 1.62 GHz
ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5730
8GB of DDR3 RAM
Dell XPS M1730
Intel Core 2 Duo Overclocked to 3.4GHz
NVIDIA 8800M GTX in SLi
8GB of DDR2 RAM
If the problem is with hardware, I'm going to have to wait for my new desktop in August.

I have this issue when I try to render a project and continue to do other work on my computer. It seems as you compete for CPU resources you do corrupt the rendered file. On my core i7 with 32gb of ram and 2 gforce gtx 480's hooked in an sli config, I dont have this problem since more resources are available than what my AMD Phenom II 980 with 16GB and no video card has.
Some of the effects and such are so cpu intensive that to get a good render you need to schedule the render before you leave the office, go to bed, etc. Basically, when you start the render, leave the computer alone and you will get a nice smooth file.
Also, I like to do my renders in Adobe Media Encoder.. you can import a project into it and allow this app to do the render.. seems to render faster than AE..
I know this what posted in October and I amreplying 5 months later but I figure this is good info for someone who finds this searching for a solution to the same problem.

Adobe after effects fps and camera movement

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and i have a question for you people. I have been creating video's on youtube for a game. And the game has an average rate of 32 fps. Now another editor has done something amazing to his video. I think he adjusted the frame rate but i am not sure. Also, the video seems to be much stabilized. My question is, what plugin did he use for the framerate and colours?
As example: the video without the plugin (just skip to the gameplay): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9d_TTTaDJU
And the video with the plugin (just skip to the gameplay): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9TG5FCRZJg
I hope you guys can help me out!
Tom

I saw some examples that looked like time-remapping was used to speed up and slow down the video. See "Time-remapping".
There were lots of blurs and glitchy colors, so it's hard to know exactly what the person did to achieve this specific result. It seemed like a nearly random assortment of blur effects and color correction effects, with some other stuff thrown in.
By the way, figuring out how something was done is almost neever a matter of answering the question "Which plug-in was used?" Usually, the core of a technique or look is actually a bunch of the basic building blocks of After Effects assembled in a specific order. What I'm getting at is that the best way to learn to create a look of your own or dissect the work of others is to get a solid grounding in the basics first. And then build on that with some trial and error of your own, once you know enough to put some of the pieces together.

Difference Between Adobe After Effects Standard and Pro for Mac

Hi Gang
Can anyone tell me the major differences between After Effects 7.0 'Standard' and 'Pro 7.0' for Mac?
Thanx
Mike

AE 7 Pro contained additional features (such as motion tracking/stabilization) and plugins/effects that were not included in the Standard version.
With the release of CS3, Adobe abandoned the Standard/Pro segregation - now there is only one professionally-featured After Effects.

Can i make real looking gun shot effects using adobe after effects CC and can i remove a wall

just trying to figure what is in this package before i rent it

Yes, you can make real-looking gunshot effects, but it depends on what you mean by "gun shot effects". If you mean muzzle flashes, yes.
Yes, you can remove a wall, but it depends on what you mean by "remove a wall". If you mean set extensions, yes.
You won't be able to do any of that during your first few days of using it though. It is a complicated piece of software and, as such, requires a significant learning curve.

Adobe After Effects (CS2) Question. Please Help!!!

Hi All,
I use Adobe After Effects CS2 and I am currently trying to make a still 2D Photoshop CS2 Image, into a 3D Short Movie (7 Seconds or so) on After Effects. However, when I import my Photoshop Image into After Effects, it only has a time duration of 2 Frames (0.2 Seconds I think?). I need this duration of time for the picture increased (as it is a still picture movie) but I'm not sure how to do it after fiddling around with my After Effects for about 2 - 3 Hours. I need to be able to put the time duration of my picture so it is able to be showing up on screen for about 15 Seconds. Also, how to you add 3D Text onto an After Effects picture? (In the movie). I really need help with this as I want this After Effects Film to be completed ASAP!!!
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Regards,
TheAAPlus

Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

Hi,
I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3. The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number. After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it.
Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
Thanks, Ron

Thank you.
I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount? I would be free to even sell it?
Thanks, Ron

Why cant i find Adobe After Effects when i click download trial and doesnt show in creative cloud

You need to meet the minimum requirements for CC or use CS6. I have no idea what kind of laptop you have or what your OS is so I don't know how to answer that question.

Testing Adobe After Effects cs6

Hey, I've got recently the trial of Adobe After Effects Cs6 and i wanted to know if there's anyway i could copy the same shortcuts i was using in cs5 to place them in cs6 cause there's some minor troubles while i'm working with it.
I've tryed the Shortcut Script Editor found in Adobe but coulnd't get it to work since i din't understand a think.
The biggest problem i have is in here.
Pen Tool (CS6)
<img src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/3163/b348e9107e5089d60470690.png" />
Pen Tool (Cs5)
<img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5480/f4e4f6ef2ad86a65af2738e.png" />
As u can see i cannot cycle anymore through the options to get to the add vertex. i've changed already some shortcuts modifyin the "Adobe After Effects 11.0 Shortcuts" file inside of roaming and it worked fine but i can't find the actual "way" or names.. to make it cycle like in Cs5
IS there any way of doing it, Can i import my old shortcuts? or how do i modify thoese.. And how to make it so when i press "Ctrl" i can move the points like in Cs5..
I find this change in the shortcut the major disavantage in the new AE for me at least..
Thank you,

There was much discussion over how the shortcut for the Pen tool - the G key - should work in CS6. Adobe wanted it to work for switching between the Pen tool and the variable mask feather tool. Knowing that some users might prefer the G key to toggle thru all the Pen tools, they made this a Preference.
Open Preferences > General Preference and toggle OFF the option for "Pen tool shortcut toggles between Pen and Mask Feather tools"
Adobe also fixed a big problem with mask editing. Previously, after you drew a mask with the Pen tool, if you selected a point it deleted it! In CS6, going back to an existing point gives you the Selection tool, so you can move a point easily. So now, you may not need to switch between the other tools just to avoid this problm - you should be able to do everything using just the Pen tool, and use simple shortcuts to switch to other tools. On Mac, when editing a Mask with the Pen tool:
press Command when over a point to get the Delete Vertex tool
press Option when over a point to get the Convert Vertex tool
and just click anywhere along a mask outline to get the Add Vertex tool
By using these shortcuts and using the default Preference (toggle is ON), you can then use G exclusively for switching quickly between the vertex editing and Mask Feather editing.
cheers, Trish

Adobe After Effects Crash! Help! SOS!

hello, thanx for reading this question. id like to come to the point, i have just installed adobe after effects cs3 pro v8.0.0 on my pc and its working fine, until yesterday when i tried to import a video file which is in .avi format. i can tell you surely that i did nothing of consequence to the working of the program before i tried importing it! but when i double clicked the file i wanted to import, adobe after effects crashes and gives me one more chance at saving the project i was working on before freezing. i had to click close and end now to shut the program down. everything else works fine on the program except when i try to import a video file! ive heard people saying that you need to delete or reset your preferences and that would solve your problem but if that is the solution, how do i do it, and if it isn't the solution what do i do? thanx a lot for reading this question and hope u reply to it with a solution! thanks, ciao!

First, make sure you run the Adobe Updater to install any software updates. Then, try transcoding your .avi into a different format/codec. The .avi could be using one of a variety of problematic codecs. To transcode it, use Quicktime Pro, or a variety of other transcoding options (google for various software that will do this for you).

Adobe After Effects CS3 does not work on my new iMac

Hello everyone,
I recently bought myself a new iMac and Adobe After Effects CS3, and guess what, the stuff does not work. I've tried almost everything, been on a lot of forums but can't seem to find any solution. One thing that keeps coming back is that it has to do with the Geforce 8800 GT in my iMac, some kind of compatibility problem between both.
The problem is this, whenever I start AE CS3, a window pops up, stating "Out of Memory ( 23 :: 40 )".
And then something about licensing, but I guess I can skip that window, since that clearly has nothing to do with the problem.
Are there some beta drivers or something for my videocard that I can download somewhere to maybe get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim
