Hello, I'm going to buy a laptop with this processor: Intel Core i7 8550U 1.80 GHz

                                                                and RAM: 8 GB

                                                                       SSD: 256 GB

   

                                                                             

Will I be able to download and work with After Effects?

    You can find minimal requirements here: After Effects System Requirements

    But you have to remember that those are minimal requirements and it will give you ability to instal and start AE and make some really basic works - anything more complicated will by really hard with those specs.

    Actually if you can but I do not recommend it, it is very basic if you want to dedicate yourself to After Effects, make a small effort and buy a better system. With more RAM, more clock speed in the processor (1.8GHz is very little) and especially a good GPU.

    And to work with video footage 256 GB is also not enough so it would be good to think about larger space or some efficient external SSD/HDD for storage.
    So as I've said earlier. Those specs meet only minimial requirements - but there is long road ahead to reach comfortable or optimal specs for AE.

    Thank you for the answer! Actually I don't want to do anything extreme. I'm sorry for asking too many questions but with those specs, can I do videos such as this? World War One (ALL PARTS) - YouTube
