After Effects CS3/CS4 Mac PC compatibility

I use After effects to school and they work on PC (with the CS3 version). At home, I'm working on a brand new iMAC OSX Leopard (with CS4). After effects in Leopard recognizes the file I started working at the school. But if I work on it on my iMAC, when I open the files in After Effects on school PCs, it does not open. Is there anyway to get the compatibility of both sides?

The question is not cross-platform, it's between versions.

After effects is not backward compatible (projects saved in a newer version cannot be opened in an earlier version).

The school has to update CS4, or you need to install CS3 at home and to maintain the parity of version.

  • Point administrative installation for Adobe After Effects CS3 can it do?

    I want to deploy damage BUT with the included updates?. If an administrative installation is not possible, my next question is this. Updates for Adobe after effects cs3 can be scripted to install in silent mode after the program has been deployed?

    Thanks for any help.

    If you follow the link I gave, you will find the blog and other resources of the team responsible for deployment and install Adobe. They are much more able to answer these questions than those of us here on the After Effects forum who know most After Effects itself, not the surround Creative Suite software system deployment.

  • Vector Art After Effects CS3, Windows 7 crashes

    Hello

    I noticed that AFX CS3 always crashes when I try to use effects of vector Art on Windows 7.  I am able to activate the effect, but when I start to paint, it hangs still after a few seconds.  No idea how to prevent this accident? I love vector art.

    Thank you...

    Solved this problem on my computer by running After Effects in compatibility mode.

    My setup is different from the original message, but I hope it helps someone else.

    Here is my problem and how I fixed it...

    System: Windows Vista

    After Effects CS4

    Vector paint

    Drawing by a small third line, AfterFX would lock upward and the screen would go semi transparent. By turning the settings Open GL did not help.

    Closed AfterFX and righ-click on the shortcut of After Effects.  Chose properties-> tab shortcut-> compatibility-> check "run this program in compatibility mode for"Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

    All the other settings, nothing is done.

    Click OK.

    Boost AfterFX and the vector effect paint works fine now!

    I'm running the latest CUDA 5.0.61 which was updated yesterday and GPU driver 8.12.47 310.40.00.05f01. I can't launch the web more recent version of the drivers because they do not seem to work with my PC GTX 670 in my MacPro. And my GTX 670 actually 4 GB of RAM. I thought that was one of the great features of CC to activate the compatible maps, but I can't select GPU (although I can't in Premiere Pro).

    And even more boring, is that while I had to modify some files after Effects CS6, it works fine for me with my video card as shown in this report:

    Now, I had some problems with all my apps CC do not launch, or to have the odd accidents, but I seem to have solved the according to this thread http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5423905#5423905 For this reason, I decided to try to start on the root and see if my graphics card worked in the root, but it was exactly the same report and would not activate the video card.

    I guess I can try the same hack that I had to do with CS6, but I thought that was the whole point of the new version that you wouldn't have to do!

    Although it's done. I had to manually hack AE CC to make it work with my Video card, and now it works fine.

    You can buy only the current versions and which means CS6. Your only chance to get CS5.5 would be a license used by someone else, but even in this case, you will need to make a good transfer of Adobe product license.

    4. I builds the project and the build succeeds. I had already updated my build location to: / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/. A directory called skeleton-fiokjkceczcbexeqzioqilgkckhb appears here.

    Hi djlsk,

    On your screenshot of the plug-ins folder MediaCore, the bundle Skeleton.plugin is not created here.  You say that the build succeeds, then the plug-in is built somewhere else.

    In XCode, in the project Navigator, whirlwind, the products folder, Ctrl click the Skeleton.plugin element and choose Show in Finder.  Where is it built?

    Even if you have specified the path in the preferences > locations > derived data > advanced > Custom > products, make sure the menu Custom drop-down is set to Absolute, not to...

  • After Effects CS3 lose my SWF animations

    Hey ladies and gentlemen,

    I was playing with Flash and an intro to my youtube videos. It of not much but has a 747 with various lighthouses, beacons, strobes, nav lights, etc.. Most of them is a built into a clip in the Flash movie clip. I brought in After Effects, but After Effects sees any strobes. You can see plain as day in the SWF file. If you don't know, FLASH has various types of export file. After effects seems to do much better a job at rendering from a SWF file from anywhere else, FLASH is terrible export (AVI is putred).

    I'm in frames per second, resolution etc. the SWF. Interpretation of the images, etc, etc. I do not know 'Export hidden layers' is checked, even though I'm sure that would have nothing to do with it anyway, since once again, I see everything very well before AE touch.

    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    ~ Dan

    Nothing wrong, everything works "as expected". It's stil lthe same today. AE only sees tween / animation keyframe on the main stage. No symbols, no scripts, no other substance. See this help page which features are supported. And you should seriously consider at least to try the latest version of Flash. It has got a lot better made offline for pixel output in recent versions...

  • Time lapse HD camcorder effect video cs4 mac

    G'morning all,

    I'm a middle camcorder HD price with lens wide angle 25/30 optical zoom 60 p and flash drive, I would also like to be able to create effects of time.

    Time lapse is not (as far as I found it) a part of the foregoing to this package, I looked at p/pro cs4 and they have no script. Now, just to divert a moment. One of my friends at P/S C Pfaffenbichler has managed to create a script realized that cases, I'm able to intermingle replacing executives of two separate video (it's a 3D thing if someone needs me know that it's a collar of script).

    Welcome back to the starting point, "is there a way to create a script that will either;

    (a) have the ability to leave say that is every 20/30/40 image etc and save them as a separate vid?

    (b) have the opportunity to go through a video and remove predefined image blocks and leave an image, remove blocks predefined frames, and let a framework etc.etc

    (c) knows different programs that can accomplish this time of mounting effect of vid.

    Looking forward to your opinions

    All the best

    He'll jump 14 images for each image of the model.

    So at frame 0 images will display 0 * 15 frame which is 0.

    1 frame images poster frame 1 * 15, frame 15.

    The Framework 2, 2 * 15 gives you frame 30

    and so on...

    Edit:

    There will not be any spacing or blank frames between images. Just the sequence 0, 15, 30, 45, 60...
