AE CS6 on Mac OS High Sierra

[tmdavisart]

Hello, I've wiped my computer and had to re-install my CS6 package. This is the second time I've done this, and had AE issues. Last time, I was directed to a page with download links, is there a new download patch I have to use for Mac OS High Sierra? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks.

Sorry, but CS6 WILL NOT run on High Sierra.  No plans to make AE run on it, either.  Time for Plan B, probably an earlier Mac OS.

The patch to which you refer is probably 11.0.4, which is great to have but won't help with High Sierra.

Very late to the fray; I add this info for any who arrive here as it was rather baffling to discover false information on such an authoritative site/forum.

Folk who are shy of coughing up to adobe into their dotage simply need to update AE to 11.04 via patch that was mentioned from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/aftereffects/mac/11.x/AfterEffectsTrial-11.0.4-mul-AdobeUpdate.d...

Then AE 11.04 CS6 software seems to work fine on my Mac10.13.6

cheers!

Followed this instruction and actually surprisingly work!!

Don't be discouraged by the white stop sign on After Effects CS6 after the installation of the patch. I restarted my computer, then can open After Effects!!

Thanks a lot! You are a good soul.

even if it work on some OS you will still face some issue with AE cs6, like renaming the assets and other bugs

This did fix the issue for me (running it on High Sierra) Thank you so much!

just here in 2024 to say that this still worked for me as well, Adobe After Effects CS6 now works fine on my early 2011 Macbook Pro running High Sierra with the 11.04 update.

Thank you!  This worked for me... Mojave.  All apps in Master Collection work.  After Effects and Acrobat X Pro were the only 2 that needed updating.  I renamed the original Acrobat folder and installed the CS6 version from here: https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html. The original install would only load for 15 seconds and then crash.

High Sierra also broke Apple's own legacy software, Final Cut Pro 7 and associated applications.

Significant changes is this OS mean that older video software which isn't being patched just won't work.  Your only options are to use an older OS, or a newer version of After Effects.
