I know this has been answered before, but I can't relocate the solution. My shortcuts, which should open After Effects, are opening Adobe Audition. This happens whenever I update After Effects. Anyone run into this?

Trial Ended but didn't get to use it?
Hello, my Adobe After Effects CC 2014 trial ended, but I did not have a chance to use it, so this makes it hard for me weather I should buy it or not. I can't re-download it since my Administrator Permission on my computer suddenly disappeared.
I need 30 days trial because I need to see weather I should buy it or not, and if I am buying it, I need experience because I do not want to be paying $20+ if I am not even experienced in the program. I don't know what to do.

After Effects ejecting graphics card
Every time I open After Effects (CC 2015.3) it is somehow causing my Nvidia GTX960M to try to eject. 
I get a prompt saying something along the lines of "Nvidia GeForce GTX960M Cannot be ejected or removed". After that my GPU remains undetectable by any other Adobe software including Photoshop (I have not checked with non-Adobe programs).
After some testing i found that this problem is happening if i have Nvidia drivers 368.39 or up installed (which are the latest ones). So i am currently using version 368.22 which appears to solve the problem.
Also the problem doesn't appear if i open another program accessing the GPU (like Photoshop) BEFORE opening After Effects.
All of this is a fresh setup on a brand new system. No plugins, all fonts ok, and no issues with system otherwise as far as I can tell. My system specs are as follows:
| OS Name | Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate | |
| Version | 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 | |
| Other OS Description | Not Available | |

Current Time Indicator does not move when previewing composition
Hey!
Does anybody know what could be the issue here?
When I press play in the preview menu the time indicator does not move. If I press pause after 2 seconds the time indicator has "jumped" to those 2 seconds. But it is not visible "live" as I'm playing the composition.
Hope someone knows what could be the solution

Double Clicking a comp in the timeline doesn't work...
Just this morning when I tried to double-click a comp in my timeline to open it (like I have a hundred times before) it doesn't open it. Instead it brings it into the window like it was footage.
However, If I right-click and goto "Open Comp" it works fine, it just takes far longer.
Any idea how to change it back?

Creating a Stereo3D video for VR from an existing After Effects project...
As an experiment I'm creating an immersive 3D video for VR from an existing After Effects project. My target platform is the Samsung Gear and similar.
Obviously I go back into the AE file... and then what? LOL
I can use SkyBox for stitching, but it doesn't 'create' seperate L & R 360 stereo files. What I mean is that if you have the L & R camera set with lenses that give 360 views and the two are separated horizontally (the InterAxial), then it works OK looking forwards, but when the viewer looks to the side there is no IA separation as the two images are overlaid (so no 3D). Look backwards the IA is reversed with reverse 3D.
So how do you render so the IA axis is always at 90 degrees to the pov thus generating the correct parallax and 3D? Is there a trick I don't know about, or will I have to render multiple cameras and stich.
Someone from the Foundry said they use a virtual slit-scan camera (not in AE) for each eye. I think that would be a formidable challenge in here....
Below is a 2D 16:9 non VR render of the original. It's a few yearrs old - CS5 - and yes, it's Particular. Obviously there's a few issues - like possibly motion sickness(!!!). I'll slow it down a bit to tone down the motion, but I think it'll still be hardcore!

Add Interactive Transcript/Subtitle to left of video...Is this possible?
Knowledge people of the world
I am trying to create a tutorial video, like the format below. I would like the video (with audio) to be displayed on the left and on the right, transcript to the video. The transcript bar would display the full script, which the user could scroll up and down and if the user clicked on a piece of text, they would be directed to this scene. The text would also be highlighted when the corresponding scene is being displayed in the video
Is it possible to do this?

No audio in After Effects CS5 after upgrading to Windows 10
Hi everyone,
First of all, I appreciate any help I will get here.
I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10 a few months ago. I have Adobe CS5 Master Collection and it seemed to work fine, except there is no audio in After Effects CS5.
Not only that, as soon as I open After Effects all sound is turned off. If I have music or any podcast or radio station playing in the background, it shuts off all audio in the system. Audio comes back again when I click outside of After Effects interface to have some other software active. For example, when I minimize After Effects and go back to desktop, audio is back.
I tried several options:
I updated the drivers for my sound card - no result
I changed the sound card and reinstalled it. (I had an Asus card and I changed it to Sound Blaster) They both don't work.
I changed the computer for another one with Win 10. Still, there is the same issue. No audio and it turns off audio in the system whenever After Effects is active.
A partial solution was to change settings in After Effects: EDIT > PREFERENCE > AUDIO HARDWARE . I changed the Default Device from Asus Xonar (or Sound Blaster Live in one attempt ) to After Effects WDM Sound. And... there is still no audio in After Effects but at least in does not shut off all audio in the whole system, so I can at least have some music playing in the background.
My questions are:
- any ideas how to bring back audio in After Effects CS 5? Anybody had this issue? WOuld be great to hear from anyone, anywhere Thanks in advance
- are there any sound drivers proven to have no issues with WIN 10
- is there any way to actually hear audio when After Effects WDM Sound is set as Default Device
- should I take out my Asus sound card (or my older Sound Blaster that I also tried) and depend on a motherboard internat sound card
- do you think that this motherboard sound card would work? ( I have not actually tried that). Maybe that is what After Effects WDM Sound stands for
- is there any other software (hopefull open source) where I could take my Movie Clip rendered in After Effects and add Audio to it. I am looking into Fusion.
Thanks for any ideas and recommendations and hopefully solutions. I look forward to it and it will be a great help to make After Effects just work without resorting to other software. (I paid for my CS 5 and for the time being I do not consider getting a subscription plan.)

Cant get rid of dead pixle..What do I do?
I already talked to a customer service agent from Adobe about the issue. They took control of my computer but they couldn't get rid of the dead pixle either. I could remove it with CC Wire Removal Tool.. But when it starts rendering you could see the dead pixle is still there. What do I do?

Help with a harry potter effect.
Hello,
I am trying to recreate the spell/wand VFX of this short film:
Red Giant FTX: Flarey Potter - YouTube
There is a tutorial about it but it doesn't explain my dilemma. When the energy comes out of the wand, it has a sort of natural wiggle effect. Anyone know how to do that? I tried using a turbulent displace but it doesn't look right. I think there's a way using particular, but i can't seem to find it.
Thanks,

Tracker stalls after 2015.3 upgrade
I'm on a mac, just upgraded to 2015.3, and now, the 2D tracker stalls after, maybe 10 frames or so... "Forward" button still active, but I have to click it, it does maybe 5 to 10 more frames and stalls again. Track is ultimately fine, but this behavior just popped up after the new version installed. Any thoughts? Thanks
Oh, important. This AE project was an export from The new Premier Update, in case that helps. - KK

Everytime I open AE CS5, says "Save changes to "untitled project.aep" before closing?
I'm not sure what's going on, but this window pops up everytime I open After Effects! No matter what project I open!
I chose save and opened the Untitle Project, but it's just an empty project!?
Does someone know how to fix this?
Thanks All,

Path weird behaviour
Hello!
Have some issues with morphing a path. What I want to do is to morph a circle to a rounded rectangle. So I went in the reversed order - created a rounded rectangle, converted the path to bezier path, created a keyframe for this state, and moved the points together with some handles adjustments to form a circle and created a keyframe for this state. So I expected this circle to expand back to a rounded rectangle but the path suddenly started to scale down and then jumped back in size. I even created a duplicate keyframe with no morphing, so the path should stay in the same place, but get the same situation - shrink down and jump back. Also I'd like to add that I get this type of jumping with repositioning masks - it starts to move in some random direction and jumps to the final position. I think it has to do with some settings.
Thanks in advance!
