I have the latest AE cc 2014 and I am trying to back ward save it to cs6 how do I do this?

From all the forums I have read there is meant to be a "save as cs6" option in the file>save as, but I do not have that option.

I have attached a screenshot below of my file menu

Hallo bakedginger,

you can only save one version down. So cc 2014 can save files for cc 12, cc 12 can save files for cs6.

So you need to save it first as cc 12 file and than open it on a pc with cc 12 after effects and save it down to cs6.

This might be the least intuitive thing ever,,, I have CC2015, so I have to install CC2014, CC2012, just so I can back save to share a file with someone who has CS6? This is more annoying the Keylight Crashing in CC2015 ALL THE TIME.... This needs to be fixed...

You don't have to install CC 2014 to save back. CC 2014 and CC 2015 are both version 13 of AE, so you can Save As CC (version 12) from CC 2015 too. But, yes, it's a bit annoying that you have to open in a different version to save it back another step. Although, it wasn't that long ago when you couldn't save back AT ALL, so this is a significant improvement on that!

i'm not sure what you mean by "they go and do that.". After Effects has always only been able to save back one previous version. When that feature was introduced it was a really big deal. To save from CC2014 to CS6 you must save to CC first, then open in CC and save to CS6.

CC 2014 is a new version. It is as simple as that.
