Saving After Effects CC for CS5.5 use

Hi Guys,
This might be a stupid question, but how do you save an After Effects CC project so that it can open/be used in CS5.5?
I know that InDesign has something called an IDML file, is there something similar in After Effects?
I'd appreciate the help.
Best,
Ronald

Hi bench514,
Glad you found and downloaded the application from that page.
In addition to that link, you should be able to download CS6 applications from Creative Cloud for desktop.
Open Creative Cloud for desktop.
Click "Apps"
Scroll down to "Find New Apps"
Click "Sort Apps By" in the adjacent menu
Choose "Previous Version"
Click the Install button of the application you wish to download
Choose "CS6"
The application will begin to download
Personally, I had to reboot my computer to have these options. Try that if you have trouble with the steps I just listed.
Another way to reach the CS6 downloads page is to do the following:
Go to adobe.com
Scroll the mouse to view the adobe.com "footer"
Click Downloads, the "CC Product Trials" page launches
Click "Other Downloads"
On the Other Downloads page, click "CS6"
The CS6 downloads page launches
I was also able to find CS6 applications by clicking the Search link and entering "Download CS6" in the search pod. The top result in the search is "Download CS6 applications." If you click that link, it leads you to the page to download CS6 applications.
I have raised this issue with my team. We hope to have CS6 applications more discoverable from adobe.com in the future.
Thanks,
Kevin

After Effects subscription for offline use, edu pricing?

hello,
I'm an animation teacher at a high school. I would like to use a cloud subscription version of After Effects to complete a project during a summer art residency. There won't be much internet access at the residency (otherwise nobody would get anything done!) so I need a full, locally installed version of the app.
Is this possible with edu pricing? It looks like the edu subscriptions are annual only, or am I missing something?
thanks - Luke

In addition to what Jatin said, look out for the scheme for Students and Teachers at https://creative.adobe.com/plans?plan=edu&store_code=us&locale=en
From what I see, monthly subscriptions are available for student and teacher subscriptions.

At the momment i only pay a month to month after effects subscription for $29usd i am a video editor and only use After effects, premier, photoshop and Illustrator whats my best option, do i upgrade, cancel. what todo?

After Effects CC 2014 only using 30% of CPU when rendering

I've scoured the internet for details but there's surprisingly little help when it comes to After Effects and performance.
Basically, I built a new workstation awhile ago with the hopes of really speeding up my video editing as I was starting to do a lot more. Here are the specs:
Core i7-4930k
32 GB RAM @ 1600MHz
Stock GeForce 780
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB OS drive
Crucial 240 GB SSD for Scratch Disk
3TB WD Red for Mass Storage
Windows 8.1
I must say that I've been quite disappointed so far with the setup when it comes to the CPU, especially After Effects. I would think the 6 core would greatly outperform my old 4 core, but I've found hardly any performance improvements, and in fact have seen it perform worse in a number of situations. And I think the issue is that somehow, After Effects is not fully using the CPU. Whenever rendering or previewing, all 6 physical cores as well as the 6 logical cores hover around 30% usage. Never any more. And yet, the comp it's rendering could be chugging away at maybe 2-3 frames per second, and it could clearly go faster with more CPU usage. Heat isn't throttling anything as all the cores are still at a very cool 48-50 C, and this is just pretty basic air cooling. It's definitely not being pushed that much.
I don't think it's the CPU itself as Maya gladly takes up as much CPU as possible and my render times on that have improved dramatically. After Effects however (and Premiere when not using GPU effects) can be quite slow. It's especially frustrating when other older, clearly slower computers end up rendering my comps faster.
Is there any info at all out there as to why this is? Any advice on troubleshooting? I've tried many things and can't think of anything short of maybe it being an OS issue and having to reformat (which would be quite a pain).
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Martin, I don't know if there's anything Todd or I can say to change your opinions. We try to represent how After Effects works, and why the After Effects team chose to make it work that way, in a way that all users can understand so you can get back to creative work as fast as possible.
What tends to rub us the wrong way are your assertions and accusations about that. For example:
If you guys spent less time listening to the voices you want to hear, and more time on the 'yes some time difficult to hear' but nether the less valid concerns of experienced users, you would have addressed this fundermental flaw years ago.
We gave constructive feedback whilst part of that program and none of it was ever addressed. There seemed to be a weird attitude to any criticism which didn't fit the given narrative.
I'm sure you probably see it differently and it is great to hear it is being addressed.
That last statement is quite true, your perspective is your own. From our perspective, your statements do not reflect how the After Effects team interacts with After Effects users, either the users in our prerelease program or users who are not a part of that program. Fact is that we spend a lot of time talking with users: in forums, at user groups, on the phone, via email, and by visiting work sites. We take notes and discuss as a group what we learned, and use that feedback to guide the future development of After Effects. It's not all sunshine and roses, we hear plenty of negative things about After Effects. This is important as it helps us understand how to make After Effects better. At the same time, we're also cognizant that we have many different types of users with different needs and workflows, and we can't make all users happy all of the time.
What I think is not visible to you, or to most After Effects users, is how we prioritize the development of After Effects. There are many factors that go into that, starting with input from users but also including (in no particular order) fixing bugs and general improvements, industry trends, changes in hardware and software environments, maintaining a large and complex codebase (some of which is shared with other Adobe applications), maintaining interoperability with other applications (both Adobe and non-Adobe), and ultimately delivering a product that people want to use. To see how all that comes together is harder to communicate; really, you would need to sit down with us and watch us work.
The more relevant point here, Martin, is that you appear to disagree with how much priority we've given to performance improvements in After Effects. You indicate that you would prefer that we had started on this work a long time ago.
All work we do in After Effects comes at the cost of work we don't do. I'm confident that you're like me in that you have a long list of enhancements, beyond performance, that you'd like to see in After Effects. But the After Effects team is relatively small for such a complex application, and the scope of the performance-related improvements we are currently making is huge, a massive re-wiring of the application. Doing this work in a reasonable amount of time, with the number of people that we have, with as few moving parts as possible, is tricky. In that context I hope you can see that it has not been easy for us to justify putting the entire team on this effort and doing no other work, no creative features, no workflow improvements, no fixing of long-standing bugs and gotchas, etc. What is important is that this work is now in progress.
On that note, I need to temper any expectations that you may be building based on this conversation. We're laying the groundwork for the future of After Effects, and the first iteration of performance improvements that you see next year might not meet your expectations if we hype it up too much. We plan to share specific detail when we get closer to a public release, but suffice that what we are doing now is absolutely necessary for even better things to come later.
We understand your frustrations, that you'd like After Effects to be faster. We're working on it, and we appreciate your patience. We also appreciate constructive comments and questions.

After Effects demo for Mac OS X missing Cylore Particle World plugin

Greetings,
I am using the After Effects demo for Mac OS X. The tutorials I want to follow require Cyclore plugins that are suppossed to come with After Effects, but I can't find them.
Thanks

They are not included with the demo because of licensing restrictions. You can go to the Cycore website and download the demos.

After effects instantly crashes while using opengl with nvidias new drivers 178.24

Since I installed nvidias new drivers 178.24, after effects instantly crashes while using opengl. Anyone else experienced this?
I have Geforce 8600 GT.
As a minor note, I had major problems with the new quicktime 7.5.5 update, both After effects and Premiere got problems with interpreting footage and frames here and there got the "missing frame" look. I also got more problems so I uninstalled it instantly. Is there a major problem with the update or a major problem with me?
Thanks
/ Olle

Sorry not to give more info on the Quicktime problem, I don't remember exactly what more problems there where as we have had extremely much to do these last couple of weeks and I just freaked out and uninstalled it as soon as the problems emerged. I do remember the frame issue however, it was very clear, i imported an image sequence in premiere and everything worked fine, then i updated and frames were suddenly dropped, then i uninstalled and installed 7.5 again and it worked just fine. I also tried to flush the cache, restart and generally search for the source of the problem for a couple of hours.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

I need to know if this will work on this Mac and or if there is any other After Effects that will work.

The display would not. However, your model does not have a discrete GPU, and the integrated (Intel 3000) would not meet CS6's requirements (any CS6 software) alone.
However:
Standard VRAM:
384 MB
Maximum VRAM:
512 MB*
Details:
Apple reports that "memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 384 MB". *If upgraded to 8 GB of RAM (or more), 512 MB will be reserved for video function.
In other words, you would need to upgrade your RAM to 8 GB. The VRAM (video ram) of the processor can exceed its specifications if you upgrade your memory to 8 GB. In order to run the software, you would have to upgrade your RAM first:

Saving After Effects CS 6 projects for use in CS 5.5

Hello all,
I'm a university student who has the academic version of After Effects CS 6 for use in my media classes. It works wonderfully and has the potential to be a real time-saver... I live off-campus and can't always get to the lab to work on my projects. That being the case, there's a problem in transferring the work to the lab machines... they have Adobe CS 5.5 installed, not CS 6. When I tried to work on the project from home on the lab computer, it throws up a compatibility error and doesn't open.
If I can't open the projects at school, then the point of using CS 6 at home is moot. How do I save projects on my CS 6 machine as to be able to open them on CS 5.5 machines?

You can also use pt_OpenSesame, a script by Paul Tuersley, to convert a project to a version that can be opened by previous versions of After Effects.

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....

What is the Best After Effects Version for my Computer?

Hey I have a Windows 7 with a Pentium (R) Dual Core CPU T4400 @2.20GHz 2.20GHz
RAM 3.00 GB 64bit Oberating System
Display Adapter: Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
What is the best earlier model of After Effects or maybe current for my computer type?
Or what is the best settings for After Effects to run faster for animation?
Thanks

Unless you plan on using a very old version of After Effects, which will cause a bunch of other problems on Windows 7, you simply need more RAM. 3 GB is barely enough to keep Windows running smoothly, let alone running a RAM-hungry app like AE. Your first priority is to put more RAM in your computer.

Premiere Pro CS3 then After Effects CS3 for Color Correction?

Hello All,
I'm at a bit of a loss here, it seems like it's a no brainer to be able to do this. I'm trying to edit my film in Premiere and then use After Effects to do color correction using Color Finesse 2. But there doesn't seem to be ANY way to keep a project so you can continue to edit in premiere while you also keep all your color correction??
You can do color correction in AE and export a premiere project but premiere won't recognize the Color Finesse Filter so you lose all you color correction!
Or I can edit the whole project in premiere and open it in after effects to do color correction, but then if there is a single edit change that needs to be done in premiere again i've once again lost my Color Correction to bring it back.
Is this really the case that I can't use these expensive packages together this way? It seems like there has to be a solution! If Adobe just made it so Premiere kept the "links" to your filters in the project, instead of killing an unrecognizable one. Then when you opened it back in after effects after your edit your Color Correction would still be there.
Any one have any advice?
Thanks,
-Ethan

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, all good ideas.
Aanarav, Your idea to just get Color Finesse for premiere I suppose I could do. It's $545 which isn't exactly pocket change, but it would probably be worth it, if there is another way other than breaking the bank book for software I already own i'd like to try to get away with it.
Steven Gotz
Dynamic link is unfortunately a feature only of the production studio package which is like $1100 upgrade from what I have...so that's kinda out of the question for me.
Jon Sands
Great idea here. I really thought it might work since premiere seems to use what are called after effects plugin files too. But after copying and pasting for a while it doesn't look like it actually sees it as a plugin anywhere I paste it. :( If anyone knows of a way to get that to work I would be seriously grateful!
I guess it sounds like the only way out is to spend cash, sigh such is so often the case is seems.

Problem with cue point from After Effects to Flash (CS5.5)

Hello,
anyone has, or has not problems reading, in Falsh, cue points included with After Effects? (Navigartion cue points).
It is possible export from Flash movie in .flv format? (Both versione CS5.5).
Thank you.

No I don't believe it's the footage, as I've been able to transfer the same files on my school computer and use it with ease.It's just any type of footage, if I attempt to drag any of my imported files (whether they're images of any kind or .mp4, .mov, .wav, .mp3) just as I would click and hold the file, my cursor turns into the Mac loading ball. Perhaps is there something these programs require such as Java? I'm not sure if it's related, but I've also not been able to play some games via Steam that I have been able to play in the past with the same system.
