Wiggler broken in After Effects CS3 for Mac, again!

I am a having the same problem as listed in this forum: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4ba61. When applying the wiggler to a parameter key frames are made, but nothing changes. I tried deleting preferences, but it still doesn't work. Can someone help?

Funny that this gets reported again every now and then... Well, if the tool doesn't work, why not simply use the wiggle() expression? Should give you all you want and you can convert it to keyframes at any time you like just as well.

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.

Configuration error number 6 for after effects cs5 for mac

     Hi. I just restored my mac os x (it ran out of space). Before I restored it, I moved all of my important files, and more importantly, my adobe after effects cs5 files and applications. But now, when I try and start it up, I get a window the pops up and says:
Configuration Error
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 6
http://www.adobe.com/support/
     So whenever I try and uninstall it by clicking on the application that looks like a red box and says "Uninstall Adobe After Effects CS5.5" and the same message pops up. I also tried searching through the adobe support articles and help stuff and through the help forums on this website. None of them had anything to do with Error 6 that was mentioned in the message.

After Effects CS3/CS4 Mac to PC compatibility

I am using After effects at school and they run on PC (with CS3). At home I work on a brand new iMAC OSX Leopard (with CS4). After Effects in Leopard recognizes the file I start to work on at school. But if I work on it on my iMAC, when I open the files in After Effects on school's PCs, it won't open. Is there anyway to get compatibility on both sides?

TimeRemapper is right, but there are a few relatively small things to keep in mind for cross-platform compatibility:

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.

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

Will After Effects CS3 on a PC be compatible with CS3 on a Mac?

I am currently using Adobe After Effects CS3 at home on a PC. I was wondering if the project file from the PC version would be compatible with the Mac version of CS3.
Is there a special format that I need to save the file as, or will it just be compatible without any changes?
Thanks.

Project files are cross-platform. Nothing special to do. Of course the usual limitations apply: external files may not be found due to different folder naming mechanisms and fonts get substituted, if not installed on both platforms.

After Effects CS3 Not Starting

I installed After Effects CS3 on my mac running snow leopard 10.6.4 I also installed the update for After Effects. However it will not run, everything is activated and Adobe says the activation is fine. However the discontinued phone support for CS3. What happens is the program will launch and show up in the dock but before the splash screen even launches the software will just crash and shut down. I seem to remember this was an issue when i installed this on my desktop but for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to fix the issue.

Here's a page that gives some information about issues with After Effects CS3 and CS4 on Snow Leopard:

How to batch convert with After Effects CS3

I sure hope this isn't a super silly question!
I have never used After Effects as it came with my Adobe Master Suite and it's quite duanting to learn all of those programs at once. I'm trying to figure out how to convert several MPEG files to AVI using a batch convert process. It would seem to me that would be a pretty simple process and I've read in several locations that it can't be done with Premiere Pro any more. They also say it can be done in After Effects but they don't explain how.
I'm pretty new to video editing so layman's terms would be much appreciated. I'm running After Effects CS3 on Windows XP.

It can be done, but After Effects is far from being a specialized encoding application. A bit like using a ten ton truck to commute
In CS4, threre is such an specialized app. It's called Adobe Media Encoder, and it can be used in standalone mode or invoked from within Premiere Pro or AE.
Remember, After Effects is a content creation tool that offers multiple ways to render the content you create. But it's not an utility to convert or encode video formats.
If you really want to do this in AE, this could be a way:
Import all your MPEG files in the Project Panel.
Select them all (drag with your mouse or make Project panel active, then Control+A on Win or Command+A on Mac).
Drag them all to the New Comp button at the bottom of the project panel.
You will get a dialog which offers to place all these files in a single After Effects Composition, or create a separate Composition for each. Select the latter.
In the Project panel, select the resulting compositions and go to Composition > Add to Render Queue. Set each item to AVI format with your codec of choice.
Of course, there are a million variables that couldn't be discussed in a single post or thread.
As you can see, you are performing a lot of steps because After Effects is designed to render video once you have created content in the form of After Effects Compositions. In that context, these steps would not be "a lot" - you arrive there quite naturally.
I suggest you take a look at the After Effects Help chapter on Rendering and exporting

After effects CS3 locks up at Initializing User Interface

I am doing an install for a school lab and they are requesting both CS3 and CS4. Is that possible under Mac OS 10.5? I have managed to get everything to work except After effects CS3. They didn't need CS4 after effects so i removed that and CS3 after effects still doesn't work. I removed the prefrerences in the users Library folder and allowed after effects to re-create it and I am still unable to load the program It Freazes at Initializing User interface. I have tried uninstalling CS4 and CS3 After effects still didn't work. I just uninstalled CS3 as well and re-installed it again and i am still getting the same error. Any suggestions? I might Remove CS3 again and use the script that is on the net to remove all CS3 data.

What Macs are we talking about? There are some issues with some iMac models that seem to occur with specific configurations of said iMacs. A regular occurence is some 2007/2008 series models with ATI cards not launching AE at all or going into a freeze. Users have reported that completely re-installing OSX fixed these issues, so I can only assume it's a flaw in the factory disk image used to pre-format and pre-configure those machines upon delivery. Other than that I'm not aware of a specific cause, but who knows. If you can provide more info, I'm sure something can be clearly made out as the culprit.

PowerPC G5 crashing with After Effects CS3

I have been having "catastrophic" crashes, that is a crash in Mac OSX where the screen goes dark and I have to hold the power key to reset the system when using After Effects CS3 on my PowerPC G5. Also if I am listening to music in iTunes it just goes into a looping drone, (not a nice sound I can tell you).
I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. I have been simply editing text in an AE comp and bang the system hangs. This only seems to happen when I am using After Effects. I have Gridiron Nucleo installed but I don't have it switched on, since it hasn't been playing too well. I also have a Blackmagic card and an internal raid system.
I am running the latest version of Tiger on the G5 and have all software up to date. I might have to upgrade to Leopard as I just don't trust it anymore. This has happened enough times for me to now be totally on edge when I am using the system with After Effects CS3. I have a Mac Pro and this just works beautifully when running AE CS3
Any thoughts would be welcome
all the best
richard

Actually it has happened before and I don't think I was editing text. So I am not entirely sure that was the culprit. Put it this way I can run Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, even After Effects 7 without these problems. However I have started to steer clear of the machine and use the Intel Mac solely as I don't really have time for crashes if you know what I mean. Also it is slow in comparison which isn't surprising but it really seems like treacle compared to the quad core mac.

Adobe After effects cs3 deployment

Hi
I am hoping someone here can help me. I have to deploy Adobe after effects CS3 to about 30 pc's.
I have done the following command
setup--record=1 which generated a install.xml file and an uninstall.xml file
I am still struggling to understand what the install.override.xml does?,
Lastly is there any way to include the updates needed for after effects cs3 during the deployment?
Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated

I am still struggling to understand what the install.override.xml does?
It overrides dependencies for local installs like language selection and serialization or otehrwise some packages would not install.
Lastly is there any way to include the updates needed for after effects cs3 during the deployment?
Not that I know of, but you could just create a custom MSI script/package that installs them immediately after the original software.

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
