  • Problem opening project from Windows

    Posted by Todd Perchert on October 17, 2013 at 3:15 pm

    Hoping someone could help me out! I am attempting to open this project: https://www.trapcode.com/sharelog/2010/3/17/aurora-borealis.html
    I’ve got CS6 (v11.0.3) on a Mac, and I get an error that the file can’t open because it was created on an older version of AE (CS6, Windows). Not quite sure why it won’t really open. But if someone on another version of AE/OS could download the file, re-save it, and email it to me – that would be awesome!
    Thanks!

    You may need to get a legacy version of AE cause that’s not created in CS6, but AE6, that might be 2005/06.

    I haven’t tried to download any of these, but here are a few links, you can install and use as a trial:

    Ah yes. AE 6. Thanks! I’ll have to see what I can dig up.
    Thanks for checking!

    After Effects CS5 and earlier can open a project saved by After Effects 6.0.

    SWEET! I was able to get it opened in CS5 on Win7 at home! Good thing I’ve been lacking on the upgrades there! Thanks all!
