My PC is not compatible with the newer versions of After Effects because my CPU lacks the AVX2 support. I am also not able to change to older Versions of After Effects in CC. There is only the option to manage the Plugins. Is there a way to install an older version that is compatible with my CPU without using Creative Cloud?
CPU: Intel i7 2700k 3.4Ghz

    Hi Eindreistiger,

    Unfortunately, the only After Effects versions currently available are 25.x and 26.x, and both require AVX2. Versions older than 25.x have been retired and cannot be installed. You'd need to upgrade your CPU in order to use After Effects.

    Let me know if there are any other questions.


    Thanks,

    Nishu
