The Lightsaber Effect - After Effects CC

Hello, my name is Jay,
And I am a YouTuber, and at the moment I am trying to make a short video on a lightsaber fight, but the only way I know how to do it
in After Effects is track it frame per frame, and in Premiere Pro CC, there is this little play button, and it does the motion tracking bit
for you, but in After Effects, I don't know how to do it automatically, and I badly need to know how because if I make a 2 minute video
on a lightsaber fight it would take about a year to motion track all of it, so I need answers please.
Yours sincerely,
- Jay Newman

Also, since your light sabers are undoubtedly going to be going behind things, you'll need info on rotoscoping.
Although, all of that will only end in frustration unless you have a good foundation in the basics of using AE. Start here: Getting started with After Effects

The application "Adobe After Effects CC" can't be opened."

Hello,
I am running a new mac pro (10.9.2 osx) and I just installed After Effects CC. I keep getting the error:
The application “Adobe After Effects CC” can’t be opened. -10810
I also installed Illustrator, Lightroom and Photoshop and those seem to be working.
I tried changing permissions on all enclosed After Effects files and folders to read & write. No go...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

That is a Mac OS error. See this page:

Begin by restarting your computer and starting no applications other than After Effects.

You cannot. If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you. After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

Using the timeline in After Effects CS3

Hi everryone
does anyone know how to use the timeline in after effects, is it the same as flash, as it seems to be different (more complicated!) anyone got any tips or ideas which may help me,
thanks
I appreciate it
Helen

> They are different in their approach but are both keyframe-based timelines.
I use both programs daily.
I bow, Steve.
Just having the Flash icon on my Mac gives me the creeps.
It's an irrational emotional issue for me, much like my loathing of Photoshop.
About six years ago, ten of us attended a two day immersion Flash class. These are filmmakers and and Photoshop geeks. In 16 hours of instruction, exercises and tutorials, no one ever said "Cool." Not once. it was monstrous.

I would like to upgrade the after effect because I have a creative suite 5.5. Because I want to go to the 6th of after effect.

Changing the language in After Effects cs5

Hello, I'm trying to change the language in After Effects cs5 from German to English on a mac (10.8.5 osx). I've tried going to package contents/resources/AMTlanguages and changing de_DE to en_US but when I restart it and enter the serial number it says its incorrect for this product. I was able to change photoshop without any trouble but does anyone know if AE has a language specific license? help please and thank you!

Any standalone retail package is language specific as dictated by the serial number and installer. Lucky for you, you can easily set AE to English by creating a file called ae_force_english.txt in your user profile's documents folder. the file doesn't need to contain anything, it just needs to be present and named properly.

im on the teachers plan - After Effects isn't included in the plan?

After Effects requires a 64 bit computer and operating system. If you don't have 64 bit then After Effects will not show up in the list of available apps.
Are you running a 32 bit operating system e.g. Windows 7 32 bit or Windows 8 32 bit?

Macbook Pro Crashing in the middle of After Effects render

Hey guys,
My 2012 Macbook Pro has now crashed twice in the past few weeks in the middle of doing a RAM preview render using After Effects. Prior to this, I was having major kernel panic issues with the computer crashing for no apparent reason, but those seemed to have been resolved once I removed a few specific kext files. I'm not sure if the current crashes are somehow related, but I do know that they have both happened in the midst of the same project file and the intensity of the renders is not that high (as in I don't have tons of layers and effects and things going on). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to gather system configuration information.

Remove the "Blackmagic" software and see whether there's an improvment.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

The application Adobe After Effects CC can't be openened-10810

I reinstalled, and I have it in my cloud--but when I try to open up the After Effects program I get the error -10810

Whenever I try to open After Effects I get the message "You can't use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CC" with this version of OS X?

All of my other programs will open in Creative Cloud but whenever I try After Effects I get that error messaged. I have everything updated and I have tried uninstalling and installing again but I still get the same error message.

Your AE is not up to date. 12.0 will not work on OSX 10.9.3
Mavericks broke some things.
You need the latest update to CC which is 12.2.1.5 (although they're releasing another update later this month).
Although, technically you don't need the latest update as the 12.0.1 update made AE work with Mavericks
