Hey there Vicky, thank you for your question. CS4 was the last version of After Effects and Premiere Pro that was capable of running on a 32-bit computer – and that is not likely to change… Please see this previous article for more explanation on that:

Is Adobe CS5.5 64-Bit-Only? And Other Top Questions Answered

So that’s why this offer to get both CS4 plus CS5.5 together for the price of one is so useful.

Hi… Actually I have a general question, because I haven’t understood something yet… Is it possible for After Effect CS5 to work on a 32bit computer?

Hello Lee, sorry it’s giving you problems – occasionally some folks do have these types of challenges with Adobe’s site…

Try waiting a little while and then read Kate’s earlier comments, the things she tried, and the series of replies which follow – and hopefully that will help get past that.

Hey, love your site. But I cannot download Cs4, both file 1 and 2. I’ve tried everything. Switch from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome, clear cookies, make new Adobe account.

I really need the After Effects Cs4 trial for some video editing. Please help.

Thank you!

Trying to get the CS4 trial of after effects… But when I click the link to “file1″ I just always get sent to an adobe page asking me to sign in to continue my trial downloads… So I press ok, then I’m signed in and stuck on the home page… Which has no links or anything to after effects CS4 … So basically I just can’t get to the download >.<

Welcome Jeff, good questions. Unfortunately finding a legitimate and safe copy of CS4 to purchase these days is a challenging task. As you saw, Adobe does not sell the old versions in any form, except in the case described above (bundled with CS5 Production Premium or Master Collection). You're right that with After Effects 6.5, you're too far back get the discounted upgrade pricing for CS5... Adobe CS5 has a "three versions back" policy - meaning back to After Effects 7 at the most, and following that, CS3 (After Effects 8) or CS4 (After Effects 9). So if you want to buy After Effects CS4 or Premiere Pro CS4 standalone, or upgrade to CS4 Production Premium, your best bet is to look for an Adobe Authorized Reseller/Retailer... (search by zip code or country) You may not find what you're looking for in stock, but it could be worth a try. There's a lot of bad software out there that will harm your computer, so please be really really careful. Try to find a vendor you trust, that you've heard of, and that you are sure is genuine, authentic, and legal. Sorry if we can't be of more assistance! The suggestion in the article is really the best, safest, and easiest option if one can manage it.

I’m trying to buy an After Effects CS4 upgrade for Windows. I have version 6.5 and a serial, and I can’t upgrade to CS5 from that, but I could if I could find a boxed CS4 upgrade. I’ve called Adobe twice and no help, they say find a retailer that still has a box.

They want 1k$ for the full version, and an upgrade would only be $299. No luck searching online either. This site is the closest I’ve found, but won’t get me a licensed After Effects CS4 with what I have.

Where can I buy After Effects CS4 by itself – anyplace, any suggestions?

Hey there, Adobe’s free trials run for 30 days for almost everybody, but occasionally trials end early because a trial or installation of the same application existed on the same computer at an earlier time, or other causes… This comes via Adobe:

“Trial periods may end prematurely for a variety of reasons, including changes made to your system time or to modifications the product installation/launch files (ie, permissions changes).

Tip: If your trial ends prematurely, try downloading a new trial on a different machine.”

Visit the Adobe Trial Download Support Page for more information.

When i downloaded the after effects trial, i could only use it once, and that was for a very brief moment. What’s the point in showing a trial when it only works once?
