•Changing Adobe æ After Effects 5.5 Splash Screen

I am going to tell you how to replace default splash screen with your own Edited design.


First design your own template which you want to design in Adobe Photoshop.
With Dimensions

                                                                     Width: 544 px
                                                                     Height: 315 px
                                                                     Resolution: 720 px/in


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save Design Your Desired Location
Save it in .png format
(Note: To preserve transparency delete white background layer before saving image)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

File which you have to edit is located in Adobe After Effects folder In Programs Folder
AfterFXLib.dll

Befor you edit this file (AfterFXLib.dll) Install Resource Hacker
After installing Resource Hacker.
Right click on AfterFXLib.dll and select "Open Using Resource Hacker"



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Extend PNG String by clicking on + sign

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will get a Folder named "AE_SPLASH"
Extend "AE_SPLASH" string by clicking on + sign again
After extending "AE_SPLASH" string you will see a yellow icon named "1033"
Right click on "1033" string and choose option "Replace Resource..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new window will appear with "Open File With New Resource..." button.
Click on "Open File With New Resource..." button and select design which you have designed for Splash Screen.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After selecting Customized design
      Fill PNG in Resource Type
                                                 Fill AE_SPLASH in Resource Name
                                                 Fill 1033 in Resource Language


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After That Go To File Menu And Save It
Note: Before Saving .dll file make backup of it so it can be recovered

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have edited AfterFXLib.dll by copying it in other location just replace it with original file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Refresh And Enjoy New And Creative Splash
