Someone to convert {AE_CS4} to {AE_CS3}
I’m looking for someone who has After Effects CS4 & After Effects CS3 and could load a simple After Effects CS4 project and convert it to After Effects CS3 then save the file in After Effects CS3 ?

I don’t have CS3, but I figured I should mention that you can’t save an AE file into an older format. There will be no converting of the file; the person would have to recreate it by hand.
Now, if it’s a simple project there has been some talk of a way to hack the file and edit a a simple text file and make it openable, but I have never tried it. Here’s a link to a thread that discusses it.– The Great Szalam

That was an original thread, I had started not too long ago.
I tried that method and I was unable to get it to work. Which is why I’m asking if anyone has both versions I could send the file they could do the changes in CS3 (it probably wouldn’t take long at all) then save it and send it to me in CS3 format.

You can’t open a CS4 project in CS3.

I guess when you say “convert” you mean rebuild from scratch, right?
-
I’ve not tried it (because I don’t have CS3), but would it be possible to copy and paste the layers between the versions?

Yes, rebuild from scratch. If someone has both CS3 and CS4 then the conversion would be easy.

I have access to both. Email me at joey848@gmail.com

Excellent, Thank you. I hope we can convert it 🙂

a great new feature request. I am sure it woul dbe difficult, but you can do this in Illustrator.
I am finding that many studios are not upgrading as much as they used to, maybe because Adobe is not adding crucial features, maybe economy, but either way, it makes handing off work cumbersome.

You can do it in Illustrator, you can do it in Photoshop, (heck, you can do it in Word), but you can’t do it in After Effects. Never have been able to, probably never will.
It’s been requested as a feature more than once, I’m sure. I’m also sure that they would do it if they could, but I suspect that the complexity of the program makes it so that it’s just never going to happen.– The Great Szalam
