Which Adobe After Effects is DVSTorm compatible with and how to output AE to TV
Hey there. About 4 years ago, I purchased DVStorm 2, along with Adobe Premiere 6.5 and After Effects 5.5
Now the market is sitting at Premiere Pro 2 and AE 7
I know that there have been a lot of plug-in issues around PPro and DVStorm. I’m not sure if they were resolved, hence I stuck to Premiere 6.5.
Now, how about After Effects?
I would like to upgrade my After Effects.
Aside from DVStorm, I also have an OHCI card installed.
I would like to be able to output AE timeline to a TV Monitor (either through DVStorm or my OHCI card).
Can that be done with AE7 and my system and how? -

I never bumped up to Premiere Pro on our DVStorm2 boxes here, I switched to Mac. But AE has always worked well, I’ve got 6.5 on those machines now for legacy work. I looked into getting AE preview out thru the Canopus card, but it was like $300 to buy the plugin from Canopus. It works for free on my dpsVelocity at home, so I didn’t care for the idea of having to pay for it here. I’d try it with an OHCI firewire card instead…it should work automatically. The only downside to that is if your DV deck is connected to the Canopus card instead of the OHCI card, then you have to switch cables to get the AE preview.
On my Mac it works out the Firewire connection just fine.

“…but it was like $300 to buy the plugin from Canopus…”
It has been free since about year 2000 soon after I bought my DVStorm…had to register to get the free CD of the plug-in.
In any case, in answer to the original question, it seems that the AE plug-in is part of the PPro plugin download at Canopus’ site (a huge file), and also with the Edius downloads. Both need registering with Canopus, but AFAIK, just register your DVStorm card and software at their site to get to the relevant download pages. No serial numbers are required, if I recall correctly.
AE7 works with DVStorm’s analog out (composite or S-video). Reference the following Forum thread at –
