I'm experiencing the same issue — when I import an Illustrator file into After Effects, the layers get duplicated. However, the duplicated layers are empty. ... View more

If a plugin like Trapcode Particular worked fine with a legally purchased perpetual license, but was intentionally blocked via a software update (eg After Effects or the plugin itself), it crosses the line into technical incompatibility. This is an active disable. Rather than a plugin being “naturally deprecated” due to API changes, new standards, or new OSes, we're talking about a programmatic decision to prevent the plugin from loading — which has all the characteristics of forcing a user to switch to a subscription. :balance_scale: Why is it problematic: This ignores the contractual relationship with the user who purchased the perpetual license. Trust in buying "once and for all" is being eroded. This opens the door to legal and reputational consequences, especially if the software is used in professional work and affects the delivery of projects. 💬 Honestly? Users don't ask for the software to work forever — just to not have the rug pulled out from under their feet for no technical reason. If the old Particular was running, leave it running as long as the OS and host application allow it. If one day it stops working due to actual incompatibility, that's fine. But inserting a "kill switch" is a completely different story. ... View more

Hello Nishu, I sent you the project in a message. In the meantime, I went back to the previous version AE, so I didn't try with more projects to see if the same thing happens. Thank you ... View more

Projects from older versions of After Effects that use Cineware no longer work. I get a message that the file is corrupted. Can someone confirm if this is happening to anyone else? Or maybe I should reinstall everything 😞   ... View more

So far I have not had any problems with exporting at C4D (PNG, Targa, Tiff, PSD - everything works perfectly). For quicktime I do not know. And I don't know why someone would export in quicktime//video file these things. Isn't it better to render these things as sequences? You say: "This may have improved in R18 and R19" Well, you see, C4D every year became better and better. While in AE is vice versa. Every year is worse and worse My point is still that after effects are going down every year (I'am using them from cs2). I'm doing a lot of daily TV commercials with short deadlines and these bugs in the export are giving me trouble. On daily basis I use both C4D and AE and I see the difference. AE is far behind C4D in the stability and bugs. Not to mention the policy of paying. I hope someone will create a similar program (Blackmagic, Maxon...whoever) I just do not want to pay more for this pile of bugs. ... View more

At least it would have no subscription and nobody would force me to pay for something I do not use. And I would not be concerned with the fact that cinema is as bad as after effects. C4D at least has its exports right. Since recently, AE always have a green drop-frame on the png sequence used in composition. Purge this, purge that,.. I must constantly be careful about that, instead the program does it automatically by itself. That's just the tip of the iceberg, I could go on and on with all the AE bugs. ... View more

In AE, a lot of things are said to be in a sync, but none of it works. Unrelated to this, does anyone know why in the Creative Cloud application can't go anymore to 2017 version? I only see 2018, 2015 and older.  2017 is missing. (Windows 10 Pro) ... View more

The only reason why I moved to the CC is support for new codecs, especially for red dragon files. Is there perhaps a plugin that would allow the CS6 version to import these files? Funny thing is that adobe keeps saying that if you do not want to pay a subscription, you can use CS6. On the other hand they do not want to give support for new codecs in CS6. ... View more

Hey adobe, will you refund me the year 2015. Because I did not use anything from the cc 2015. I do not understand this subscription?!?!?! I'm paying you to be a beta tester or what?!?!?! And what about statement that I'll always have the best and newest version? After Effects cc2015 is still unusable. ... View more
