Which system fonts does After Effects support?

Small issue. Not super important. I'm trying to switch my sytem font to Archer Pro or similar and After Effects will not start with any of the ones I choose. I was curious if there is a list of system fonts AE supports or if there was a way for AE to ignore my system font choice so that I can bybass this issue. I'd just like to have a customized system. If there's not a way around this, I'll live. Haha.

AE simply ignores any theme customization like pretty much any Adobe app. The UI libraries are hard-coded and use fonts like Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica/ Arial - pretty much standard system fonts. As Rick already said, messing with that stuff would be kinda stupid.

Does after effects cs5 support jpeg 2000 images?

HI,
I am using photoshop cs5 and after effects cs5.
does after effects cs5 support jpeg 2000 images?
if not,then do we have something like encoder or decoder or plugin to make this thing work?
Vinay

I run AE 8 at work, and I have absolutely no problem with Jpeg 2000 stuff. I don't see why you would on AE 10.
And if you don't have it already, go download the latest version of Quicktime 7. Don't get Quicktime 10 or X or whatever they call it: it's a train wreck ready to happen. If you steel yourself to spend an extra 35 bucks, you can get Quicktime Pro, probably one of the most versatile little pieces of software available.

Ok, so there has to be some other issue, because since I installed it it crashes when trying to download an update... also when I try to run the program I get a message that I can't use it on this system.

Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use?

Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use? 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' installs its documentation in the plug-in’s subfolder in the Plug-ins folder.
I cannot locate anywhere on the Adobe site which specifies that this plug-in is free to use for educational institutions.
Can anyone assist please?

Yes, it's free and inclusive with every AE install.

Does After Effects CS4 come with tempaltes?

Our company bought the suite and it was installed by IT. Can someone tell me does After Effects, Encore etc come with templates?
Thanks

Yes, After Effects comes with template projects. See the
"Template projects and example projects" section of After Effects Help.
If by 'templates' you meant something else, like
animation presets, just say so and we'll point you in the right direction.

What does "After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialize PSL. ( 83 :: 8 )" mean?

So, about a week ago I did a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate on a new PC, and subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud, installing After Effects CS6 and Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe Application Manager, then doing all updates (and I just checked right now at 10:35PM on July 26th, I have the latest versions of everything).
After Effects was working completely normal, then just now, I tried to import a Photoshop .psd and I got the error message:
After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialize PSL.
( 83 :: 8 )
Then After Effects crashed. So now it opens up normally, but when I try to import a .psd or open an After Effects project saved from an earlier version of After Effects (CS3 to CS5) I get the same error and a crash, every single time.
Searching the forums, I see people talking about this error when importing .psds into CS5, and they say that getting the latest updates solved the issue for them (which obviously can't help me). I'm running all legit software on a brand new computer with 32 GB of RAM which has passed all my physical stress tests so I know it's not hardware related.
The one thing I saw people suggest is to hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift when starting the program. When I do this, Windows asks if I want to allow After Effects to make changes to the system, and when I say yes, I can import .psds and open the older AE files. When I close After Effects and reopen it without holding down the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys, it goes right back to crashing.
Obviously the smart-*** answer is "then hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift, dummy", and I'll do that for now, but is there any clue what the problem is?
I feel like kind of a chump because I decided to stop using my student versions of Adobe software (I haven't been a student for about four years) and pay the full price for the cloud membership and the latest creative suite, and it's full of bugs.

Now, I get the same ( 83 :: 8 ) error listed above, followed by a new dialog window that reads:
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <4488> <DynamicLink> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Then, when I click OK, I get:
After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects Help and Support, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_support. If you still can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).
( 0 :: 42 )
Clicking OK to that gives me a chance to save the latest project, then the standard Windows 7 crash dialog window opens, the one that gives me the choice of "Check online for a solution and close the program" or just "Close the program" and lets me View problem details, which are:

Does After Effects works on Intel HD Graphics 3000???

I was planning to install After Effects CS6, but is it supported for Intel HD Graphics 3000??? I hope to hear a response really soon.

See this page, which explicitly lists the Intel HD Graphics 3000 as a card that does work with the OpenGL features:

Why does after effects cs5 not open in yosemite?

i haven't used after effects in a year...but in that time i have installed Yosemite
is this the cause of the app to not open?

It's not difficult to find; it's on the system requirements page.
Now, I have heard of some folks getting CS5.5 (and maybe CS5) to run on Yosemite, but without further explanation from you on what sort of behavior you're experiencing, nobody could really help. For example, some folks launched AE with no difficulty, but with any effect that used an eyedropper to pick colors, it would crash. This was fixed by changing the preferences to use the system color picker. Some folks couldn't get it to run at all.
If you can't get CS5 to run and you can't go back to an earlier OS, you could always upgrade. You can still purchase CS6 from Adobe.
However, since you haven't used AE in over a year, perhaps it's more of a hobby? In which case, the upgrade pricing for the Creative Cloud might be a pretty attractive option. I like the Creative Cloud because you can get the latest version (and old versions all the way down to CS6) for a pretty low monthly fee. If you paid to upgrade every new version, the subscription model actually saves a bit of money. It's also less hassle and much easier to deal with than a huge lump-sum payment to upgrade. Plus you get all the cool cloud features too, like being able to save a project to your cloud folder and opening it on a different machine somewhere else.

Does After Effects CC use CompressorTranscoderX?

I am running After Effects CC and do also use Final Cut Pro X although I am about to switch to Premiere. I am noticing some real slowdowns in After Effects when I have let me computer sit for a few minutes and come back to it. When I look at the Acivity monitor when it is busy, CompressorTranscoderX and Adobe QT32 Server are showing as not responding and Red. Sometime, Adobe After Effects is also showing as not responding. I do not have Final cut running and am not aware if AE is using this CompressorTranscoderX? I am creating a video with a quite large 3D model.

Which iMac upgrades help After Effects most?

I'm looking at getting a new iMac - the 27" with the upgraded processor (i7 3.4GHz). I see I can also bump up the graphics card to one with more memory (Nvidia GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB of GDDR5 memory) and RAM can go to 32GB.
What I wan to know is, how are the current gen of iMacs for After Effects, and which of these upgrades will AE make the most of? Processor is always good, and the i7 will do hyperthreading (does that help in AE?). What will 32GB of RAM do for it, and will the GeForce with 2GB help? Can it offload any processing to the graphics chip?

Well, I was a Windows user from version 3.0 up until 2008 when I switched to a Mac. I found that from Win 95 forward, I was complaining about the same issues in my computing experience, and all were inseperable from the Windows platform. I say that simply to say that I've gone the Windows route before, and really have no desire to go back.
Why an iMac? I'm concerned that doing a Mac Pro is going to run me a LOT more, after everything. My main thing for the last 17+ years has been web design, and I have done a little video here and there. I want to push more into video as web content for my clients, but have not begun yet - so a large expenditure for a killer workstation would be pure speculation, and not based on actual work in hand. Basically, it's time to replace my existing machine, and I was looking at purchasing one at a slightly higher tier than last time, not a hugely higher one.
Also - as I noted, the goal is content for the web - shooting and cutting pretty simple marketing videos (talking heads, lower thirds, and lots of B-roll) and some animated infographic videos (I aspire to do things like this as my abilities mature: https://vimeo.com/album/1770463/video/25123730). I'm not planning on doing heavy 3D, or intense Broadcast AE VFX work that would require extreme rendering muscle (I don't think).
As to the Mac Pros - I have not looked into them very much. My concern is that they will be quite expensive (What did/do the most recent Mac Pros run? They are all gone from Apple's site). I also don't want to kill a fly with a bazooka. But I'm just not sure exactly how much power I'll need, and how much those deliver. If I was loading up my schedule with a ton of the kind of work that I knew was going to tie my machine up with renders, then I think a Pro would make sense. But if my kind of work is really not anywhere near that heavy, then, it would be largely wasted, no?

Font in after effects blurry

Hello all,
I was creating some typography in after effects, I am very new to the software so this might be easily fixable and I may be being a bit silly, but My font all looked crystal clear and fine and all the fonts did, but then all of a sudden something happened and now my font appears extremely pixelated in any size... Need help please?

You may have:
1) increased the zoom in the comp viewer window to 200 or 400 %
2) reduced the resolution in the comp viewer window to half or quarter
3) applied a blur effect

Does After Effects have a backup feature?

After Effects just crashed on me and I lost my project. Is there any way to recover that project. I didn't save it I know it was dumb of me. I tried reopening After Effects but nothing popped up. I also use After Effects CS5.

The Automatically Save Projects preference in the auto-save category is now on by default, beginning with After Effects CC (12.2).
Note: An even better approach than relying on auto-save is to use the File > Increment And Save command regularly and habitually. The Increment And Save command has a couple of advantages: it allows you to determine exactly when to save, and it does not overwrite previous saved versions. Once you have developed that habit of using Increment And Save, you may choose to turn off auto-save. (That’s what I do.)
