Adobe After Effects FX CS3 for Mac OS X Universal Binary

Everything is in there, I was looking for this for a long time and found it hard to find, hopefully it'll be helpful to some people. I've tested it and it works 100% perfectly. I'm on a slow connection so apologies, but it should pick up speed soon...

scunky (2007-08-18)

27 downloads 1 seeder?
c'mon guys share the wealth!!!

phiebs (2007-08-18)

Thats cause I'm the one who uploaded the torrent, and it's not fully seeded yet.... get on the case and it will speed the swarm up....

scunky (2007-08-19)

Where is the serial Number?

phiebs (2007-08-19)

Doesn't need the serial number... install and then crack...

JSIT99 (2007-08-19)

well i you don't wanna waist your time download the trial from adobe site and serials are on the last KCNscrew
Thanks anyway but the shorter way between two points is a line

phiebs (2007-08-19)

I wish someone had told me that before!! Oh well, live and learn

bumpman (2007-08-21)

Sorry if I'm pissing in someone's pool, but if anyone out there is thinking of downloading the program from Adobe's site, I'll spare you the three hours of crack, keygen and serial searching... 1023-0687-2418-4741-3688-1185 worked for me on CS3. Good luck now.

mystec (2007-08-22)

Thanx bumpman! I spent several days looking for the serial and doing all sorts of crazy shit......Nice one.

dgurney (2007-08-25)

OK, THAT CRACK DOESN'T RUN. It crashes immediately:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.dylib
Referenced from: /Volumes/Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k]/Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k].app/Contents/MacOS/iPatcher
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
The serial posted above works, but that only gets you a 30-day countdown to registration.
And finally, somewhere in the loader it said "pre-release". This is looking more and more like horseshit.

phiebs (2007-08-26)

OK, the crack does run... try re-downloading it maybe before you write shit here?
No-one else has had any problems with it and its running 100% fine on my machine...

amteur67 (2007-08-28)

Hi there havn't downloaded many torrents, after I put in the serial 1023-0687-2418-4741-3688-1185 it said I needed to register it within 30 days. Should I do this?

ad-hd (2007-08-30)

how do I install this? since every serial number I find all ready have maximum number of activations? How can I activate it??

phiebs (2007-09-02)

Just install it and then run the included crack... works for me!

darezy (2007-09-06)

whats the name of the crack and how do you install it?!

mx6driven (2007-09-08)

I downloaded it and see two files. one in a zip, and another as a regular Ae one. Where do I find the crack? or which one of the two is the crack? Are we spose to drag one file into the other somewhere?

slaytounge (2007-09-19)

is this only for macintosh?

FrozenDelight (2007-09-25)

Yes, this is only for Mac (though I haven't finished downloading it yet). But htere are plenty other torrents for the PC version on this site. Does any one know what the FX means in the title? I thought it just CS3 in it. I'm going to go hunt for the trial in a sec...

schristensen (2007-10-03)

which file do you crack?

doriansend (2007-10-10)

Please seed!!!!

danjeff1 (2007-10-11)

I have downloaded and run the crack but comes up with a error and does not work, is there a diffrent way, please help???

danjeff1 (2007-10-11)

Fixed it it now works, its down to the hidden docs not been able to update.

Mydea (2007-11-07)

Okay the program works great, only one downer, when i started it up after i cracked it says: apllication has moved, repair? It doesnt matter if i cancel or repair, the message keeps comming everytime. progrm works fine however, but does anyone know how to fix it?

runndgun87 (2007-11-10)

I downloaded this weeks ago and worked great every day, noy when i start it it says " Warning Unknown Exception" How do i fix it cuz it wont lt me start after effect anymore

jamesthedj (2007-11-16)

Phiebs, you wrote: "Just install it and then run the included crack... works for me!"
Where is the 'included crack'? Thanks.

lesdiaboliques (2007-11-18)

I can't seem to get the crack to work. When I drag the app into the drop zone, it says it needs to change permissions for files, then asks for my password. When I type my password, it gives me this error msg:
Error
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects

zoopplog (2007-11-18)

need leopard compatible [K] any ideas everyone???

pawlum (2007-11-27)

Yeah. [k] doesn't seem to work with leopard. Anyone have just the [k] for leopard? No point in dl'ing the whole thing again. Thanks.

ElektronBlue (2007-11-28)

I just confirmed this [k] to work.

I first ran AE Installer again - had it uninstall all components first then ran the setup again.
Placed the [k] in the same folder as the AE.app - drag and drop onto the opened [k] like the prior one. Patched!
Opened and confirmed operation!
...pay it fwd.

ElektronBlue (2007-11-28)

btw the above info was intended for OSX 10.5 Leopard..

Shunnabunich (2007-11-29)

Re: Mydea's "Application has moved" issue
I got this message as well, but one thing I noticed when using the included [k] to patch After Effects (which seems to have worked fine so far, btw) is that it renamed the application so that its extension was ".ap", instead of the proper ".app". I changed it back in the Get Info window, and opened After Effects again, and it started cleanly without any error messages. Hope this helps for you as well!

pawlum (2007-11-30)

Great! The crack that ElektronBlue posted worked on Leopard. Thanks!

bensonhurst (2007-12-01)

Hi is there anyone who want´s to be my hero and write down dummy directions?? I can´t remember how to do this : /
U can send me or post it here anyway´s thanks!

Natalie_Girls (2007-12-01)

Hey Guys..
I downlaoded this Torrent went ot sue the cc plug-in's such a "cc shpere" it's not there.

Are the cc's title different in CS3??
Please help.

kross23 (2007-12-01)

Hey everyone, I was wondering if any of you have the serial to active the program on the mac?
I have been looking for the past 2 weeks. I used the one posted here already but there are too many activations. Please help?

Natalie_Girls (2007-12-02)

THE WHOLE PROGRAM IS NOT HERE... Warning... this is just a preview version. The cycore effects are not here.

tan_man6600 (2007-12-05)

Hey I got that [K] that ElektronBlue posted for Leopard but everytime I try to drag the AE.app intop a error message pops up that says,
"you can't apply the patch on this file"
and I even tried to uninstall and then reinstall, and then put the patch in the same folder but it still didn't work.
Does anybody know what might be wrong with that?

cdolphin09 (2007-12-08)

I have the same problem as tan_man above.

blancoyo (2007-12-09)

I also got [k] that electron blue suggested, uninstall AE, then reinstalled it, copied patch to AE folder dropped the AE.app onto the patch drop zone but I got this
ERROR
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
Can anyone help?

jazchun (2007-12-10)

Getting same thing as above...

triggerhippy07 (2007-12-10)

hi ! this as been downloading for the past two days now and its reached 99.8% and is not doing anything else can anyone give advise please ?

wafiq (2007-12-10)

same error of blancoyo here

Avnerus (2007-12-12)

Seems the patch has problems changing the permissions so just do:
# sudo chmod 777 /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
and then run the patch

wafiq (2007-12-13)

tks Avnerus!

minik182 (2007-12-14)

Hi! The same thing is happening to me with the Leopard patcher....I don't get what I have to do avernus, can you expain it to me??? Thanks!!

lordofthe_wog (2007-12-15)

When I try to install it, it says
Adobe After Effects CS3 cannot install because it conflicts with
Adobe After Effects CS3
Any ideas?

savageru (2007-12-16)

hey, i couldn't get my crack to work.. or the leopard one electron,.. can anyone with windows help a brother out and grab me a serial and activation code.. pleeeaassseee

jazchun (2007-12-18)

hilmarkobresian (2007-12-19)

installed, no problem, ran "sudo chmod 777" on AfterFX file - permissions changed, no problem.
ran After Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] and received the message:
"Your registration has expired"
Any ideas? Thanks much.

wunan (2007-12-21)

hi
i'm using MacBook Pro. Mac OS X 10.4.11.
i just finished downloaded.
my problems:
1st - when i mount .dmg. it says "codec overrun". so, i click on the .dmg again and skip the verifying process.
an AE icon came out. i was happy.
then, when i click on the AE setup icon, it didnt work, it disappears from the taskbar.
Please, if anybody knows how to solve this problem, please help, im totally a beginner.

baritt (2007-12-23)

I spent a while trying to figure out what electronblue was saying and had the same problems as some of the other with it not accepting the patch. the whole problem I was having is that I tried to drag the file that I downloaded to the drop zone, and I should have been in applications. Being new to this I really appreciate the help that these boards provide, but it can be hard to tell what you guys are talking about sometimes

luminary07 (2007-12-27)

downloaded ok.... at one point said the codec was overrun (or something similar) but now am confused to what file the crack is as it isn't working. Tried the serial number someone posted but it's been used too many times and is now unavailable. please post a suggestion of how to proceed as I am needing to use the program

luminary07 (2007-12-27)

ok, never mind... you drag the application into the patcher (duh) which is the crack (the 8.0.0 file)
works great. already using it. THANK YOU PHIEBS!!!!!

Ryko89 (2007-12-28)

It won't work with me. I downloaded the patcher for Leopard and then I tried dragging the After Effects application into the drop zone, and then an error popped up:
/applications/adobe after effects cs3/adobe after effects
what gives?
What should I do, I really want to edit someday soon and the problems keep bunking up.

studeerenberg (2007-12-29)

to everyone who has permission errors with leopard (OS 10.5) and the new leopard crack ofcourse
go to the "error" directory (open package content etc.)
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
--> get info
--> look at sharing and permissions
--> unlock
--> change admin Rean only into Read&Write
PROBLEM SOLVED!
good luck all!!!
works great!

Ryko89 (2007-12-29)

studeerenberg, dude. thanks a lot. you finally made it work for me. But you should maybe give a bit more detailed description for the noobs (me among others) took me quite some time to figure out how to do all that ^^;; But I managed. and now YAY! Final Cut Pro, Shake, Motion, Color, Compressor, After Effects. *sighs* if only Vdub Mod was Mac compatible ^^;

cookiecake (2007-12-30)

where can one find this new leopard crack? the crack included doesn't work, it just shuts down. (i use leopard on a macbook) i tried installing, got a serial from serial box which worked, but i had to activate, and when i chose "acivate later" it said that the license had expired. thanks a bunch!

sonicalchemy (2008-01-06)

Wow Works Great on Leopard and on the first try, its really simple (just drag and drop!) WATCH the video b4 u do ANYTHING (have a little patience it takes about a minute to download and after u get the goods CONTINUE SEEDING AT LEAST 2XS so everyone else can have it too).
Leopard patch:

thanx mac-fest!
Thanx phiebs!! Top notch share!! Props!!

LesDennis (2008-01-06)

Hey Studeerenberg
I have the issue with the leopard crack.
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
Adobe After Effects CS3.app has read and write permissions but still no joy. Am i meant to some how access the contents/frameworks etc?

LesDennis (2008-01-06)

Aha i see right clicking on the .app gives me the option to see package contents.

leagaloo (2008-01-06)

Now I´ve sit up day and night,
But no!! when i try to drag the AF application, it says "you cant apply this patch on this file"
I then i start wonder if this patcher for AF CS3 onely works on intel mac? I use a g4 powerpc with Tiger fully upgraded,, sow what the fuc.....help I need some one...

GripGlutz (2008-01-06)

sonicalchemy, thanks for the video! Needed for a amateur like myself.

elevat8dMind (2008-01-11)

I tried doing everything that you guys advised for the error: /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
HOWEVER, I'm still getting the same message.... Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

zoopplog (2008-01-14)

ok step by step if you get this as an error /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
step one find the app in your applications folder then right click it go to show package contents it will take you to the "contents" folder in there you go to the "frameworks" folder then to the "afterFX.framework" folder then the "versions" folder then the "A" folder then you right click the afterfx terminal app and go to get info then you change the permision to read & write for admin after that run the patch should work great

Zenchtorrent (2008-01-14)

this doesn't work on windows.. does it?

TheSeaman78 (2008-01-17)

Anyone know where i can get the CC (cycore) effects for this version of After Effects?!?!
I really need them!!!!!!!!

toonman361 (2008-01-23)

Thankx, just what I was looking for.

amt553 (2008-01-26)

hi how can i access the after effects.app section like in the video?

amt553 (2008-01-26)

by this i mean in the video that comes with the folder, he drags the after effects icon from the grey box into the patch. Unfortunately I don't have a clue how to access that grey box thing. Any help would be great

bizzarefoods (2008-01-26)

Alright everyones having issues, some of fixed it some havent. The issues i had i fixed through the writings here. I may make a video but i need to play with AE now that i have it

bizzarefoods (2008-01-26)

will this work on the trail ?? Full effects ....

amt553 (2008-01-26)

i think that a large part of these problems are because people are trying to put the file from the applications-adobe after effects cs3 folder, but it seems you need to drag that weird icon from the download to patch it. could someone make a video explaining how to get to the file that you need to patch please

amt553 (2008-01-26)

d

cornflake360 (2008-01-31)

when i try and drag the patch i get the message "you can't apply the patch on this file" can anyone help me out???

TheSeaman78 (2008-02-01)

SO...
Any news about those CC effects yet...?
If anyone can post them, plese let us know on this forum!!!!

RE: Shunnabunich
Changeing the extension, worked like a charm thanks :), sorry for the late reacction

almush (2008-02-21)

It kind of worked for me.... I could patch the AE but when I open it, and do something ( like duplicate a layer, or trying to change the name..) It gives me this error :
After Effects error: sorry, the last command could not be completed (-1857).
(0::42)
and then closes..
anyone knows why is that?? I tried to uninstall it and the re install it from 3 different applications, and it keeps saying that error...

elestor (2008-02-22)

What do I do. I have downloaded the torrent, and installed it. But when I shall register it, I dont know what to do. I used the serial code provided, but it isnt enough. I must still activate it. Could some lay it out for me, step by step? Thanks

neoblack (2008-02-23)

If your wondering about the cycore effects you can download the dmg from cycore website. But it will be a demo that has to be activated. If anyone knows a serial for cycoreFX 1.6 for mac, that would be great for us all.

antilocapra (2008-02-24)

Thanks!!
It really works, after reading all comments and other user´s experiences, I could install it without problems, thanks to SonicalChemy, the patch is useful!
I will be seeding gladly

elestor (2008-02-26)

Hey. Still isn´t working. What do I do after installing it? Can´t get past the registration. Could someone lay it out step for step please :) for us noobies....

PLEASE, PLEASE some one help!! I'm usually decent with with torrents but i just can't figure this one out. There are two zip files one says the other says aftereffects_cs3_p1_041607.dmg
They both have a set up for Affter Fx but I can not find a krack??? I'm not sure which set up to use either??
Please help with a quick step by step for morons like myself I would probably only take some one a min or two and same me a headache and a lot of time wasted! Thanks in advance!!

dalineko (2008-03-08)

Damn this torrent is a fast one. DL'ed it in under 1h. To crack this baby i had to replace the crack distributed with this package with another version (After FX CS3 iPatcher [k]) this one worked quite fine on my hackintosh intel. To the creator: PLEASE be so kind an make a patch for Premiere too. I'm suffering from working with Final Cut. It's just not the same. THX in advance.

worked (2008-03-09)

10.4.11 - Intel MAC - working:
1. mount .dmg file (double click it)
2. unzip .zip file (double click it)
3. run Setup (found in .dmg file)
install in the default location, applications folder.
4. open AE[k] (found in .zip file) be sure to double click the AE icon found in the file to open the drag and drop patch application.
5. drag the Adobe After Effects.ap file into patch
6. after successful patch, rename Adobe After Effects.ap to Adobe After Effects.app. This will resolve the "Application Has Moved" error.
Here's more info on the "Application Has Moved" error:

platypusplatypus (2008-03-10)

OK.
This is the Pre-Release Beta Version of Adobe After Effects CS3. It does not come with half of the new plugins that now ship with CS3. MAINLY Keylight, which is a high end plugin from the Production company The Foundry.
This works fine for the most part, it can be a little cranky when you start it up and it notifies that the application has been moved and would you like to repair it. YOu can say "Yes" or "Cancel" and it still starts up.
However, this application is useless if your after the new features in CS3. Your better off getting a full version of AE 7 working with all the plugins (*INCLUDING KEYLIGHT*).
'phiebs' did a great job as this is the only torrent out there for AE CS3. HOWEVER, THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE BETA VERSION THAT IS A LITTLE QUIRKY.
For everyone who can't get it to work. Your an idiot.

obtom (2008-03-15)

hi phiebs. you said that you don't need to enter a serial just open and crack. well my question is how do you crack it. if you could help me i d owe you one. DL fine thanks for the chance

obtom (2008-03-15)

platypusplatypus. do you mean that ppl who can't open it is an idiot or ppl that can t get it working? not looking for an argument just wondering

Tikster21 (2008-03-16)

ok. it wont let me run the crack. so does anybody have the S/N? or help run the crack.

klaze (2008-03-24)

This doesn't work it asks for a different CD and does not go further.
Can anyone comment on this?

klaze (2008-03-25)

Also the crack included with this torrent does not work with the trial download from adobe.

orejadepana (2008-03-26)

does anyone know if is this also for leopard?? and if it´s not, where can i find a AECS3 for leopard.
thank you

fool2cool (2008-03-26)

Ok im a total tard, which file do i execute? it keeps saying it quite unexpectadly :(

dchiou (2008-03-31)

OH BOMBbbb thanks for the upload.
I havent downloaded this yet, but i know universal [k] and their cracks for adobce cs3 Work like a charm. And i have NO DOUBT that this works as well. If it dont work for you, you probably doing it wrong. Anyway, Thanks...PEace out niggguh

telektonon (2008-03-31)

Yes this works on Leopard.
Use this patch:
Adobe After Effects 8.0 (247) [k] (Universal) (Leopard)
Has anyone updated AFX with the Adobe Update???

NNB (2008-04-04)

The patcher gives me this error when I try to drag the application on to it
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
Also, can't seem to find the serial number anywhere.
I'm using Leopard OSX
any help much appreciated!

dmcc (2008-04-12)

Trial download works with serial mentioned, but I can't find any 'activation' option in help menu?? Do I only have 30 days?

mastadon6 (2008-04-18)

Ok this is really simple! The file comes with 2 files in it. One is the dmg file which is After Effects itself. The second is the zip file named which contains 2 folders. Do not worry about the one that says __MACOSX. Just extract the one that says "Adobe Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] (Universal).app" onto your desktop. Then follow these instructions.
After Effects = AE
1. Mount and Install the "After Effects CS3.dmg" file just like you would normally install any Adobe Product.
2. Once the AE is installed, DO NOT RUN OR ENTER ANY SERIALS. Make sure the program is completely closed.
3. Go to Applications --> Adobe After Effects CS3 and leave that window open.
4. Now open the file you extracted to your desktop.
5. Drag the Adobe After Effects CS3 Application(the one from step 3 onto step 4.
6. It will then take a minute or two but should come back with a successful crack.
7. Now inside the folder in step 3, the file may have Adobe After Effects CS3.ap at the end. Make sure AE is closed fully and just rename it to Adobe After Effects CS3.app.
You can now run it!!! Enjoy

btw your dmg file will be named

Hello,
Phiebs, thank you for this torrent.
If you have this error:
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
you must change the permission of "AfterFX" (read and write for everyone)
My english is very bad! in french:
Si vous avez le message d'erreur concernant le fichier suivant:
Phiebs, thank you for this torrent.
If you have this error:
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
Vous devez changer les permissions du fichier en question
1- ouvrez le paquet de l'application After Effects CS3 puis allez dans
2-Selectionner "AfterFX" puis Fichier>Lire les information (pomme+I)
3-changer les permissions en mettant Lecture&ecriture pour tout le monde.
Voilà le probleme est réglé, vous n'avez plus qu'à appliquez le patch

willsavage (2008-04-23)

I have installed this fine on Mac OS X leopard. At first it seemed to work fine until footage within my composition started freezing up on me. Has anyone else had this problem.
I assume maybe I need to update to 8.0.2 but the update option in the help menu is grayed out and the adobe website update page has been down for ages. Anyone got any ideas??

dmbman (2008-04-26)

Hey, mastodon6 thanks for the directions but I kind of get lost between steps 4 and 5 I'm not sure what files should be dropped into what, I think you mean the application program into the After Effects 8.0.0 (247) (k) folder where the picture an crack file exists, but when i try that it says i dont have the permission for that. Any help please?

lolus (2008-04-27)

Hi all!
When I'm patching the file it says that it has to change permission so i click ok. Than it says that the file was patched successfully, but when i lunch After Effects it close down itself and get message that application quit unexpectedly?
Any ideas?

bnkrecords (2008-05-16)

mastadon6... THANK YOU VERY MUCH... Im usually good with this type of stuff, but couldnt work this crap without your help.. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ HIS POST.. IT WORKS.... 5 Stars..
Ok this is really simple! The file comes with 2 files in it. One is the dmg file which is After Effects itself. The second is the zip file named which contains 2 folders. Do not worry about the one that says __MACOSX. Just extract the one that says "Adobe Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] (Universal).app" onto your desktop. Then follow these instructions.
After Effects = AE
1. Mount and Install the "After Effects CS3.dmg" file just like you would normally install any Adobe Product.
2. Once the AE is installed, DO NOT RUN OR ENTER ANY SERIALS. Make sure the program is completely closed.
3. Go to Applications --> Adobe After Effects CS3 and leave that window open.
4. Now open the file you extracted to your desktop.
5. Drag the Adobe After Effects CS3 Application(the one from step 3 onto step 4.

7. Now inside the folder in step 3, the file may have Adobe After Effects CS3.ap at the end. Make sure AE is closed fully and just rename it to Adobe After Effects CS3.app.
You can now run it!!! Enjoy

jj2_1 (2008-05-22)

RITE PPL THIS IS HOW TO GET TH APPLICATION TO WORK....TRUST ME IM A UTD FAN!!!!!....ok step by step if you get this as an error /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
step one find the app in your applications folder then right click it go to show package contents it will take you to the "contents" folder in there you go to the "frameworks" folder then to the "afterFX.framework" folder then the "versions" folder then the "A" folder then you right click the afterfx terminal app and go to get info then you change the permision to read & write for admin after that run the patch should work great

losingstreak779 (2008-05-28)

When I go to drag the Adobe After Effects CS3 application onto the patch it gives me this message. ..
The item "Adobe After Effects CS3" could not be moved because "after Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k]" cannot be modified.
When I open the extracted file on the desktop it doesn't open like in the walkthrough video. It opens up a folder with a picture of the After Effects package, the patch file and the video walkthrough. if i try to open the patch file it immediately quits unexpectedly. So, as of right now I can't drag the application onto the patch because it doesn't do the same thing the directions for this torrent said it would.
any help?

losingstreak779 (2008-05-28)

bascailly, when i run the crack there is no drop zone to drop the application onto. it opens up a different window.

jinkywells (2008-05-29)

I'm having the same problem. I get this message:
The item "Adobe After Effects CS3" could not be moved because "after Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k]" cannot be modified.
I tried all the workarounds including changing permissions.
jinky

losingstreak779 (2008-05-30)

i got it to work with this crack...

jinkywells (2008-05-31)

It didn't work for me. The Crack app gives me this error even after I manually changed permissionws with "Get Info": Examining ->SHA1 Error
When I try to open After Effects, I get this error- After Effects error: creating file "Workspaces.xml"- access denied 9-5000)
Can anybody help?

jinkywells (2008-06-01)

I mean "access denied (-5000)"

bryanjames (2008-06-01)

This works fine. If you watch the video it shows you what to do. Just realize that the AE icon in Applications is a package. You need to click and "show package contents" and drag the actual application from inside to the crack.
Unfortunately though, the only effects the program loads with are DISTORT and PAINT! The other plugins are in the effects folders but they don't load in the program. Any ideas about this?!

jinkywells (2008-06-02)

I watched the movie and did exactly as it says. The patcher says that it is successfully patched but I still get this error:
After Effects error: creating file "Workspaces.xml"- access denied (-5000)

alice_in_wonderland (2008-06-06)

Fantastic stuff! Thanks phiebs

rweakins (2008-06-06)

still can't' get this to work. what are the instructions

kmaclean (2008-06-07)

Okay... to all who are still having trouble with permissions and you think you've switched them (on the actual CS3 After FX application) - you need to follow the source of the problem that the leopard patch gives you
so you go to ..
After Fx - right click -> show package contents
contents -> Frameworks -> AfterFX.framework -> Versions -> A -> and then you right click the gray square that says "AfterFX" and change the permissions on THAT (not the actual application)
I also had a bunch of other problems that i figured out so if there's anything else let me know
you don't need a serial when you patch properly.

lotto887 (2008-06-08)

Every time I try to open After Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] it says "application quit unexpectedly" Does anyone know what to do?

jinkywells (2008-06-11)

Dear kmaclean,
I did exactly as you said. Once I did it, I applied the patch. The krack told me that it was successful. I tried to start it up and was told that the application had moved. I closed the app (I had to force quit) and I added a "p" to the name because the name had now changed to "Adobe After Effects CS3.ap". I tried to open the app again and got this warning "After Effects error: creating file "Workspaces.xml"- access denied (-5000)"
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Jinky

knowgood (2008-06-11)

Hullo,
I just downloaded this and I'm psyched - been a long time looking. But, now I have no idea how to install this. There are comments here about a movie? If you can help, my email is [email protected]. Thanks!

sk8rphink (2008-06-22)

If you are getting a message after cracking it that says apllication has moved, repair? then you just need to change the file name of the program from .ap to .app

jtstunt14 (2008-06-22)

when im installing the dmg file it is about to complete BUT it says please enter CS3 Mass Collection disc 1 what do i do?

Jamgirl (2008-06-24)

the serial number work can u give me the activation code email me at [email protected]

Jamgirl (2008-06-24)

can someone please give me a serial that works I have try ever instruction but it dose not work it still asking for serial number help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

cnelbuendia (2008-07-16)

This is my solution.
I was gettin the error about AfterFX file.
Simply moved the patch to my first drive, where Leopard and AE are installed, followed the instructions in the video and worked like a charm!

Slayerdude (2008-07-17)

I've tried using the crack that is in the dl and used the S/N that has been posed here and it keeps telling me it has the max number of activations, does anyone have a different s/n or solution for this?

chequeredmaniac (2008-07-17)

I've been reading through the comments and it seems that this isn't the full version and looking at the size of it on the adobe site, the full trial version is 1.24 GB.
@otto887
I had the same problem until I downloaded the leopard patch that someone else suggested

It didn't help me as it wouldn't patch but you can try it.
I'm going to try patching the trial one just to see what happens. If its successful I'll let you know.

arisian2 (2008-07-18)

Okay, so this IS the full version w/o all the effects. Go to adobe.com and dload the trial version (w/ all the effects) Save the effects, install this, move the effects back to appropriate folder..
wala

studeerenberg at 2007-12-28 22:11 CET:
to everyone who has permission errors with leopard (OS 10.5) and the new leopard crack ofcourse
go to the "error" directory (open package content etc.)
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
--> get info
--> look at sharing and permissions
--> unlock
--> change admin Rean only into Read&Write
PROBLEM SOLVED!
good luck all!!!
works great!

Hey peeps! I have a question.

IS THAT NORMAL?!
Some one please help me!

Complete waist of time. Warning, if you don't know much about computers, don't waist your time trying to pirate adobe software, it is too hard.

molls2714 (2009-06-05)

For some reason, this [k] and another one I had that was the same idea, work perfectly on my laptop, but when I open the [k] on my desktop, the original file opens, but when I get to the screen where you can choose between the app and the movie, I double click on the app and it starts and immediately shuts down. My laptop is older but both computers are running the same OS. Any ideas why it does this?

horsemoose (2009-06-15)

THIS WORKS. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS =D
I tried givign a link here and it didnt work so just go to google, search SHA1 error and click on the FIRST page. there is a fix for the iPatcher crack that comes with this.it fixes the problem.i tried method of fixing this and it didnt work for me, but try this.PLEASE.

tuttubyssa (2009-07-28)

tuttubyssa (2009-07-29)

Ok, I don't know allot about downloading but I've opened it, the installation window came and then those two green installing lines (hope you understand), so now I have the after effects cs3 in my dock but I need a serial number?
Where do I find it??

tuttubyssa (2009-07-29)

sorry, forget that serial thing, I found the serial but then it says I need to activate it, I clicked the activate now button and then it said that "maximum number of activation for this copy has been reached"? So what do i do now?

dkmu (2009-08-02)

tukka74 (2010-02-27)

I have just downloaded and installed this on a PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11
This is how.
1.. Mount aftereffects_cs3_p1_041607.dmg.
2.. Install program. (It asked me to insert CS4 Disc. I have got CS4 master collection so i inserted this and installation completed)
3.. Open Adobe Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] (Universal). And double click on AE icon.
4.. Drag installed version of AE into drop zone. (A warning comes up about permissions need to be changed. I just clicked OK Fix Permissions)
5.. The App is now cracked but it has a file extension .ap This causes a warning to come up when you launch AfterEffects. The warning says something like "Application has been moved" To fix this you need to change the file extension to .app
All done.

toddefarrell (2010-03-06)

I have read the entire posts, changed the individual file at framework a to read/write, and changed he ae.ap to ae.app. My problem is earlier I entered some serials, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the program trying to get them out of the system, but they are still there. Also the patch will patch all but 1 file, the one pertaining to framework a, then when I open AE it says my serials are no good and inserts the old ones for me already. I am new to mac is there a place like a registry I can delete something. Also do you think this what is causing my problems? I am running os 10.5.8. I already run cs4 but need this older version to run AE since Im pre intel. Thanks in advance.

baradon (2010-03-11)

I have exactly the same problem as onbewust, done all things. changed authorisation, also on the single file in content >> etc. but says, patched but 1 file is not patched (naming the single file in versions>> a>>) when I try to run it it says repair now? fixed .ap in .app but stil wants the serial..
what to do..?

jon333 (2010-03-16)

download new ipatcher here:
choose mirror...
open crack patch, rightclick, show package content, rightclick on folders wiew info, check shared-box, drag new ipatcher to folder with the old, replace - yes.
Then put crack-patch in AE folder in applications, open and drag AE to dropzone...done
If patch dosen´t open right, rightclick, wiew info and check open with Rosetta....
I finally got it to work... puh

mitchh10 (2010-04-25)

@ Jon333 your steps were very complicated but once i figured out what you were saying, useful. However there was a slight problem. After i did what you said, and tried to patch, it said patched and i got excited, but then when i tried to launch it, it said that it had moved locations, or error, and would close unexpectedly please help man.

What you have to do to the crack work:
copy the "Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k]" to the desktop
show content
Contents/MacOS
replace the iPatcher and replace with:
Fuck Yea.

For all those who receive the error below - it's because you as an Administrator don't have write privileges for the "AfterFX" file.
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects
"Get info" on the AfterFX file. As an Admin you should see a Lock icon in the lower right corner of the Get Info window. Click it and enter your Admin password and you can then adjust your read/write permissions.
Drag the AE App folder onto the patcher again and you should be go.
Hope this plain English instruction is useful :)

I've followed all steps, changed the read/write permissions (on file inside contents/etc/etc), replaced iPatcher inside the crack, moved crack into ae folder, got it to say patch was successful, changed .ap to .app but then as I'm about to run the program it quits unexpectedly on start up. (start up screen with fonts loading n all that comes up then crashes).
Any one know how to fix this? I would be sooo grateful if someone know what the problem is..!
Cheers

For those of you still trying to use this old file, realize that CS3 has been replaced with CS4. However I can't find AfterEffects CS4, so this seems like the only option.
If you are having trouble, perhaps these notes will help.
Download the torrent, you'll get two files: one is the aftereffects_cs3...dmg to install, the other is Adobe After Effects...zip to crack the program so you don't need a serial.
Install the program with the dmg file. Unzip the zip file - you'll get a file "Adobe Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k] (Universal)". Double click it and drag the AE icon off to a folder/desktop. You will now have a file "Affter Effects 8.0.0 (247) [k]."
(Alternatively you can choose to 'view contents' and browse to MacOS and remove the file there.)
This is the patcher file, it patches the Adobe program file, HOWEVER, it was built using ipatch 3.7, which is NOT Leopard (or Snow Leopard) compatible.
If you are still running Tiger (which was what was out in 2007 when this torrent was made) you can just double click the patcher file, and a window will pop up with a "drop zone", then browse to /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/, and drag the "Adobe After Effects" icon (498.1 MB) onto the drop zone. It may complain about needing to change permissions, say yes, enter your password, and the file will patch.
If you are running Leopard, you need to update your patcher with a new (3.7.1 version) of ipatch.
Step 1: make a duplicate of your patcher file - I called it "junk". This is a junk file.
Step 2: Go to ipatch.org and get version 3.7.1 (compatible with leopard). mount the .dmg file you downloaded (double click it) and double click on on the utility iPatch.
Step 3: under 'original' choose the original AE patcher file. Under 'modified' choose the junk file. Create the patch - save it as something else, like 'Use me'.
Step 4: now you need to steal the ipatcher file from this newly created patch, so choose 'show package contents' for the file 'Use me', go to Contents/MacOS and you'll see ipatcher.
Step 5: Now, go to the window that has your AE patcher, and click show contents. Navigate to Contents/MacOS and replace the ipatcher file here (3.7) with the ipatch file in the new 'Use me' patcher that you just went to above.
You can now run the patcher and drag the After Effects App onto the drop zone. You'll see a message in green saying it successfully patched your program.

DarkDoyle (2010-09-21)

First of all I extend a deep and humble bow to all of you who keeps this community alive and such a great place to be!
To buisness:
I'm having the same problem as manllo, managed to get the "green-success" patch text by following Derf_Mans great guide above. Changed file extension to *.app which got rid of "program moved error".
Then it unsuspectingly crashes during startup:

Nvm my last post, realised After Effects is part of the Adobe CS5 Master Collection so I'm putting my coins in that slot for the jackpot! ...I hope...

sunshyn7 (2012-02-14)

I'm running OS 10.6.8 and can not open the crack.
I've read through the comments, but can't find anyone else with this problem. It should work fine with Snow Leopard, right?
I really appreciate your help guys.

1. Copy crack to desktop

3. Tick box 'Open using Rosetta'
