Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard disk and a lot of memory and have in what precedes. If you have upgraded the RAM to 8 GB memory and installed a disc hard solid state, you could do the program usable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You don't have a slot open for add a 4 GB memory module. It is a simple upgrade relatively inexpensive. See here:

http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/ct51264bf160b
I'll try this one step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. It would cost maybe $150. If you need assistance.

TimeLapse by using Adobe after effects CC
I use After Effects to create a composition of timelapse. I was able to create the timelapse without problem, but my calculations seem to be different from what After Effects is showing me.
I wanted to create a timelapse for 6 seconds to 24 fps. So I thought that I would need 6 x 24 = 144 images. I took a picture every 1 minute and it took me 2 hours and 25 minutes. I imported all the images into After Effects and created a publication to 24 fps. I drag the images to the timeline of the composition, and it shows me only 4.2 seconds.
What I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thank you
When you import a sequence of images, the default values of the frame rate to 30 frames per second in AE. You can change the frame rate in the settings to Interpret images. Highlight the item in the project window. Go to file > interpret > main. Change the number of frame rates from 30 to anything you want.

Adobe After Effects scripts?
Hi, I want to encoding plugin for Adobe After Effects, but I can't find anything. Someone help me to research and find examples of scripts for Adobe After Effects.
Thank you.
Hi fuada52572480 https://forums.adobe.com/people/fuada52572480>! Welcome
on the forum!
plug-ins and scripts are two different things.
script is done with javascript, and it can perform operations in the
the project, create palettes, but it cannot deal with pixels of the layer.
plug-ins are created in c ++, can also do what script, but it can
produce also plug-ins for effects that can be applied to layers.
script is much more simple to do, it requires no compilation and is cross
platform.
plug-ins require the use of visual studio on windows and xcode on mac,.
require knowledge of c / c ++ and requires the compilation on both platforms for
produce plug-ins for win and mac.
You can find the resources to download here:
http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects.html
the script guide will guide you through the script and the SDK file
contains the c api documentation.

IM considering Adobe After Effects CS4 and I found the title of the film DAYBREAKER (2009) a very interesting to create effect, I hope you can give me some tutorials on how to do it... Please! more power, NOTES: im using adobe after effects cs4
From what I've seen on the trailer for this film, titles are a modified version of George flowing Peolvoy title tutorial posted on Creative Cow about 10 years ago. You can find the tutorial here.
The effect on the type of glass can be reproduced using layer effects in Photoshop and / or then apply the layer effects to your text layer directly in AE. You will find a lot of these tutorials by doing a simple search on Google for glass Photoshop text.
There is not a single click, a plugin solution, but if you integrate the effects of layer, a card of displacement, a compound blur and keyframes for position a little + blur of movement, you should be able to reproduce the effect exactly. Tutorial of George should help you get started. If I remember correctly the project files were for AE 4.1 so they probably will not open in CS4.
Good luck

How to remove the echo/Reverb with Adobe After Effects
Hi all
Maybe this isn't the software to work, but is there a way to Remove reverb/echo of a music video using Adobe After Effects?
Any help much appreciated.
Kind regards
Ben
You process audio in Audition. ECHO and reverberation of a large empty room is very difficult to remove. After Effects are for video. The audio tools in AE are extremely limited.
