On my last article about the newly announced 64bit After Effects CS5, I stated that Win XP 64 bit won’t probably be supported by the new After Effects. In the comments, I’ve been pointed out that even if AE CS4 was not officially supported on Win XP 64bit, it was running perfectly fine on it.
2 days ago, Todd Kopriva, Adobe After Effects Documentation Lead, wrote on his blog about 64bit and detailed that AE CS5 will require OSX 10.5 or later for Macs, and Windows Vista 64 or Windows 7 64 for PCs. No mentions about Win XP 64.
So, to clear things up for good, I decided to wrote him an email to get the info straight from the horse mouth.
And the answer is: AE CS5 won’t run on Windows XP x64.
