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

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 - how to uninstall/reinstall or transfer license to a new computer

         My old computer has crashed, and so I built a new one recently. I have been installing all the applications for it, downloading files, so on and so forth. I recently insterted one of the hardrives from my old computer, and was able to see the files I had from my old computer. All of my adobe applications are on there, and I can see them, however; I cannot use them, which is okay, since most of them were free applications that I could download from the website. But Adobe After Effects CS6, which is the application I really need, does not open it; instead, it reads: "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the product. Error: 16". I bought the CD for After Effects last summer, but I cannot find it anywhere. I heard you don't need the CD to transfer the license to a new computer, but I can't figure out how to do this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since after building my computer, I have absolutely no funds nor interest to buy another After Effects CD.
    Thanks,
    John W. King

    Todd,
    Thank you so much for your help!
    I am trying to follow your advice and install AE CS6 through the Creative Cloud application, but it seems that I can only install AE CC through the Creative Cloud application.
    The text on this page ( http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-cc-and-cs6-apps.html ) seems to indicate that I can choose a version to download, but when I navigate to the linked download page ( https://creative.adobe.com/products/aftereffects ), I am not given the option to choose which version to download. I can only download AE CC through Creative Cloud.
    Below is a screencap of what I see when I am on the download page - this differs from the screencap shown as an example on the page instructing me to go there.

  • Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

    Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
    I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
    I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

    That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
    • Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
    R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
    It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
    • Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
    R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
    • Use After Effects CS6 in English
    R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
    • Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
    R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
    I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 keeps crashing before it even starts

    So like a year ago I purchased adobe after effects. I used it almost every day till about 2 months ago till I started using another video editing program. So for 2 months I did not open AE. Today I felt like using it because I felt it would do a better job that sony vegas so I tried to open it. It brought up the purple icon and it gave me an error. ''After Effects error:Crash in progress. Last logged message was (number here changes every time i do it) <dynamiclink> <5> c:/program files/adobe/adobe after effects cs6/support files/32/dynamiclinkmanger.exe.    after this messege it just automatically exits after saying it crashed. I really need it to work since my final for college depends on it. I tried to uninstall it several times with numerous programs but none work. Whats wrong? how do i fix it ? is their a file or something missing? i looked on updates on adobe bridge and it said i was up to date. In addition i manualy tried to download an update and when i tried to open the update file it would open up af and display the same messege. any suggestions welcomed. thanks

    Tada - Magic!:

    The short version is that you either have changed your graphics setup, messed up your CoDecs, done something weird to your media cache or have permissions/ security issues or whatever. Since you failed to provide any system information we can't be any more specific.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

    My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
    The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
    I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
    Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
    ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved.  If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

    Hi Rick and Greg,
    Thanks for the quick responses.  Below are all the details to all your questions.  Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast.  It is not the rendering.  It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
    FREE MEMORY:
    This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
    The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
    3RD-PARTY CODECS:
    I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system.  I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
    DISC CACHE:
    My Disc Cache is enabled
    My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
    I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
    MPEG SOURCE FILES:
    If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
    2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
    3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
    1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
    MULTIPROCESSING
    Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
    ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
    Here are some additional observations that might help:
    It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
    The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
    The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
    The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
    Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process.  The problem is NOT with the rendering.  The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
    This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
    Thanks again for all your helpful responses!

  • Audio problem in Adobe After Effects CS6

    When ever i import a clip into adobe after effects cs6 the program does not read my clips audio i know how to ram preview its just the program doesnt read the audio what so ever but when i preview the clip on my desktop using windows media player it works fine and you can here the audio. My clips are recorded by my HDPVR Haupauge and it records in m2ts file someone please help me this is a serious problem with this program

    Hi,
    When you installed the full version, DId it install "Over" the existing one, or is it seen as a new installation (Sorry, I have never re-installed AE, so I am not sure of the way it works) - but coming from an IT background, sometimes installing a bought version, will overwrite all user settings that were set up in the trial.
    In other words, recheck all the program user properties and audio check boxes to make sure the re-installation did not reset something to "off".
    There are a few Audio discussions going around today, check the forum and give them a quick read to get a reminder of where all the possible Adio "on/off" switches are hidden.
    Hope that helps
    Pierre

    Other users do not have local admin rights, only write access to their profile path and the C:/temp folder.
    Any help and assitance would be appreciated.
    Is there a directory that the users need access to on the C drive?
