Older version of After Effects to open old file?

I have tons of projects at the end of 6 effects.  One of the reasons why I joined Adobe cloud was because I want to update to os x, Mountain Lion and AE6 does not work on ML.  I just tried to open one of my old projects and get the error message "this file was created with an older version of After Effects [6.0(Macintosh PPC)] and cannot be opened.  You can convert this file using an older version of After Effects and re-record. "Well, I don't have access to my copy of AE6, is it possible through the cloud to Adobe to get a version of After Effects that will open these files, so I can up-conversion it?  Or any other method to get these files to open in the most recent version of the AE?  Re-building is not really an option, these are projects that are years and are continually updated with the text.

Here you go; This article gives details for all versions going back to After Effects 7.0:

  • Is it possible to download older versions of After Effects?

    I downloaded the demo of master collection adobe CS6 and most of the products have been able to download very well except a few, that which some I really care, but After Effects was unfortunately one of them and it is one of the reasons why I was downloading the collection. I looked at the system configuration required and discovered that the only version that could handle my laptop was CS4. Is it possible to download the demo version of this without download from shady sites? I just need to try it, even though it would be nice if it were free now.

    Thanks in advance.

    Brendon.

    You can download a day 30 limited time trial version of After Effects CS4 here. After 30 days, it will stop working without a serial number CS4, you can not buy now, if you do not already have one.

    http://prodesigntools.com/download-Adobe-CS4-and-CS3-free-trials-here.html

    Make sure that you follow the Instructions very Important on this page first otherwise the links do not work.

    You can no longer buy After Effects CS4 and it's certainly not available for free even if it's a replaced version. So, you will get only 30 days out of it.

    I guess you try it because you have a 32-bit system?

  • Installation of older versions of After Effects

    Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to install older versions of programs like After Effects. I know there is a way to keep intact your old installation of After Effects, but I was wondering if I could do a full downgrade? I use After Effects cc2015 but I would like to start using CS6.

    Thank you.

  • First Pro CC and older versions of After Effects

    I have a film Premiere CS6, which I will upgrade to CC.

    There are several AE files related to the first file.

    Also should I acquire After Effects CC for compatibility? Are there problems that I need to worry?

    CC PrPro, AfterEffects and SpeedGrade versions must be in the versions 'corresponding' to knit back and forth & back. Then... If you go to keep the AE comps 'living' or change, you will need the same version of AE also. I suggest also using a copy of the original files, save their project in which case do not work in older programs. And... you can have CS6 and a CC version of the 'same' on-line applications on your computer.

  • Cannot install the trial version of After Effects?

    I am trying to install the trial version of After Effects, but there is nothing else than the error message saying that they are the questions now to try again later. I saw messages such that many times before with other companies (as we all have, I'm sure), and it always turns out be a permanent error.

    Anyone know what is happening? I wanted to buy the program, but if I can't do even the trial of it... it's a bad sign.

    In addition, adobe has no support more except for the forums here for us customers to understand the problems of adobe. They should pay us for our time! Shame on adobe!

  • I installed the full version of After Effects, but as MPEG2 and DVD MPEG2 codecs are always miss

    The title explains little. I installed Master Collection CS5.5 as a full version, but After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder are still missing to the protected content. I rebooted and updated and restarted again. I installed as a trial and then entered the serial number later, and I also tried to use the serial number during installation. It seems that no matter what combination I try, I can't get MPEG2 if poster in the list to export.

    I just spoke with one of the software engineers, and he said that this could be the problem:

    If an exporter plugin ever to load, then After Effects try to load it again. It is possible that MPEG-2 exporters could not load a moment and then marked in this way.

    I recommend quiting After Effects, remove this entire directory and then restart After Effects:

    /Users/ /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After effects/10.5

    (No, this directory is not deleted during the uninstallation, unless explicitly say you to remove preferences, so it may have been left in your previous attempts to uninstall and reinstall.)

  • After effects error: the Photoshop file format error (- 1). (45: 35)

    After Effects worked PERFECTLY for me earlier today. Now, he won't cooperate.
    I only use AE to correct the colors and the rendering/export short sequences to use first or Final Cut...
    Im working with DNG that have been converted from MLV files, sequences (I use the video hack gross magic lantern on a 5 dm 3).


    Out of nowhere, whenever I try to import any DNG sequences, sequences of CR2, CR2 or DNG files, I get this error...

    After effects error: the Photoshop file format error (- 1). (45: 35)


    No matter which set of DNGS I open gives me error. Ive tried re-conversion of several files MLV (perhaps there were corrupt officials?) and their import again, but no luck.

    Ive tried uninstalling AE and re installation with no luck.
    I tried the updated Camera Raw to the latest version with no luck too. (Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Macintosh)


    Does anyone know why AE would simply stop working with my DNG sequences all of a sudden?
    It makes absolutely no sense to me.

    (Running on a macbook pro end 2013)

    Well, after 4 hours of trying to understand this point, I did.
    Including use of that Camera Raw 9.5 it won't work with AE. 9.1 will alone.
    Still doesn't explain why it has just stopped working in the first place well...
