Yeah the current version will actually work with CS5.5, you just need to delete the preference file that is stored at ~/Library/Preferences/com.andorulabs.aeae

and reset the app location to CS5.5

Possibility of an updated script for CS5.5?

It’s a valid question I actually don’t use this very often with AE. But it is very useful for quick comparison purposes. You can easily import an AE project into your current project, it is just easier to compare or grab expressions/etc. Without having to clear out the imported project later. It would be nice if AE had a selective import so you could just get what you need. This is just something that has always been simple in apps like Nuke/etc. Just a simple workflow thing.

The CS3 version tries to launch CS4 inside the CS3 folder. The script should read:

set aepath to the quoted form of (POSIX path of (“/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS3/Adobe After Effects CS3.app”))

I have not tried. If it doesn’t you should be able to edit it within Tiger’s AppleScript Editor, save it out as a new app, and then it should likely work ok.

Yeah I guess that is another method. This one avoids some extra copies of AE on your HDD though. ^_^

The icons were more work than the apps It is literally a line of code, but damn if it isn’t easier to click once instead of opening up another app and typing a line of code.

Been doing this for a while all you have to do is duplicate the application.
