After Effects

Hi, in AE2025 if i export an image sequence the frame number it writes on the [####] part is relative to the number of the current sequence beeing exported and not the actual frame number in the comp/timecode. For example, if i send frame 16 of my sequence to render it writes as if it was frame 0000 in the sequence and not frame 0016.Is this a bug, a feature? How can i make it behave like before, it can be a crucial part in some workflows 

I am creating album artwork for my band's upcoming album - I am not very knowledgeable in Illustrator, but I am very good with After Effects - any promotional videos or photos I will create in After Effects because I know the presets and plugins. I need to make sure any artwork I make is in CMYK and not RGB - is this an option in After Effects and does anybody know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I'm trying to set a motion blur on a simple shape with 3 key frames scaling it up & down. I see the main Blur Icon - but doen't see the one that sets it for the shape /layer I am trying to affect. Below is a screenshot. Many thanks! BTW - I'm in CS6.

i working in after effects suddenly hang it not working in video my pc  configuration is good ZOTAC RTX 5070 SOLD 12 GB GRAPHIC CARD AMD RYZEN 9 9900X32 GB RAM 

Can someone please help me with this? i don't know how to fix this. I'm trying to make my edit but i have this gray border thingy all over my preview screen

I'm using precomp with highlighter shape to highlight text (menu items in menu board). I also use master properties to animate gradient alphamask inside highlighter precomp to reveal or hide highlighter in the main comp. The problem is (and has been since AE v23 I think) that at random times some highlighters are blinking in preview, and also in the final render (they show and disappear, or blink rapidly). Sometimes cleaning cache helps, but not always. Sometimes importing project into new project helps, but eventualy problem reappears. Sometimes previously disappeared highlighter suddenly appears when I change text in some text object in a same frame as a highlighter. This bug is so inconsistent I don't know how to debug it. On my colleagues system it didn't appear, when I sent project for him to check. But I have had this issue on Intel iMac 2020, and also now on MacBookPro M3 Max so it shouldn't be hardware related. I have enabled logging today, and in the log file I

I am using a Mac Studio M2 computer with OS 14.7.7 (Sonoma). In my After Effects 25.4.7 settings/preferences, I have the maximum disk cache size set to 100 GB. However, if I don't frequently check my cache folder, it grows well beyond the 100 GB limit I have set. A few minutes ago, I cleared out 200 GB from my cache folder. I clear the folder through the proper steps - Preferences - Media & Disk Cache - Disk Cache - Empty Disk Cache. I'm looking for a way for After Effects to not exceed 100 GB of cached files. The proper procedure doesn't seem to be working correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

Hi There, I haven't experienced this using similar footage in previous versions (still rotibrush 3 though) so sorry if this is user error. But since upgrading to 25.4.0, I've immediately noticed that painting to add/subtract no longer works on the frame painted on, it only works on frames afterwards. See attached... Here's the frame I've painted to add - notice the corner of the bed still isn't included? But in the frames that follow, the painted area is correctly added... With the previous version of AE, add/subtract also worked on the frame painted on - have tried various mask prview modes, and playing with chatter/feather etc. And am also seeing this on multiple frames - basically any frame I need to tweak. Does anyone know how to fix or what I'm doing wrong, or if this has changed in this version? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben 

After Effects 2022 keeps loading and does not run, it stays in cleaning Masc Interpolation. smart, what do I do?

I am at a loss...the last thing I remember doing was hitting F9 to make an easy ease on a layer and suddenly all of my layers except for one disappered out of my comp viewer. The layers are still in my project, I just can't see them. The screen shot of what I am looking at is below. Please help!

Please help fix the LIQUIFY tool is not working on After Effects 2020.

Hi, i am trying to build this CEP extension for Adobe After Effects where it will 80% depend on scene edit detection, and i tried to find the API to trigger the scene edit detection just by clicking a button , but i couldnt find any useful information , i would appreciate it if anyone helped me .

I have recently started using ae and I wanted to make the 3d text stay on the bridge. I have tried redoing the detailed analysis multiple times and everytime it becomes the same. No matter which points i choose it still moves. When i place ground and plane then it stays where I would like it but as soon as i change the angle or move the xyz axiys a tiny bit it goes back to moving alot. Idk what to do anymore. It was shot on a dji drone if that makes any difference. The average pixel error is 0.9

So I'm making a Call Of Duty edit, but I'm having an issue.  I have applied Twixtor Pro to sync the clips, I slowed down the clips to 30% speed, but the issue I'm having is that the actual clips stops before the footage does, (example picture below).  Please help me fix this because this edit is going very well and I really do not want to scrap it.  Thank you!

I use mac, so I edit in rec.709-A instead of regualr rec.709. That way, the footage looks the same in DaVinci as it does after export, and when uploading to the internet.  The problem comes when importing footage that I have exported form DaVinci into AE. The colors are more saturated and contrasty. Its dificult to match manualy through grading, and it makes me think that it has to be a way.  I have yet encontered anyone with the same problem, or a solution.  Soluton or suggestions on how to fix this is appreciated!

EXR file alpha channels are not being rendered correctly. Some frames will have empty alphas, some frames with only show a small strip at the top of the frame. The same projects work fine in 24.3.2. 

So recently AE has started needing to completely redo the whole ram prieview with any small change in the timeline. (including audio) It's painfully awful. I move 1 keyframe on a shape layer and eveything has to load into ram preview again, EVERYTHING. Over and over with any small change. It never used to do this. I've been using After Effects for 13 years professionally. I know my way around it well. Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop? I've tried everything i can think of from resetting preferences to disabling plug-ins. I'm runing the most recent version on a Powerfull PC. Latest version, all drivers and windows up to date. 

Hello, Iam trying to use an extension for After Effects I have installed properly (used aescripts for it).However, When i Launch Affter Effects and i go to Windows and go for Extensions, it is greyed out and not clickable. I tried to restart in debug mode, empty cache, check the versions, nothing seems to work, and I didn't find an exact answer on internet. Thanks a lot !

Hi,I am using AE 15.1.1 (build 12) on a Windows 10 machine (specs at the bottom).I've created a simple composition with just a camera layer (all default settings) and a text layer set as 3D.When using the 2 Views - Horizontal layout, the right view is showing fine as Active Camera. The left view is completely blank (picture below). The parameters beneath the views do change when I click between the two views, but there is nothing on the left side: no blue corner triangles, no description of the camera view angle (Top), nothing.This has happened previously and restarting AE helped that time. It was working until I restarted AE again and now the left view is missing again. Restarting no longer helps, nor does recreating the composition from scratch or changing/resetting the workspace.----OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 HomeVersion 10.0.16299 Build 16299Other OS Description Not AvailableOS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Name DESKTOP-4A6UDRVSystem Manufacturer HPSystem Model HP Note

This is definitely a noob question, and I am STUCK with my plugin development. Here's the very basic idea of what I'm trying to achieve. - Layer 1: Keyed/Roto'ed footage- Apply plugin- It's as if Layer 1 is duplicated, and the 'back' layer has a Gaussian blur on it. How do you do that in an AE plugin? I think glow plugins are like this. You're not really affecting the input footage-- that stays as is, but you are affecting a copy of that footage and then comping it over/under it. 😬 Thanks!

Hi, my timeline doesn't show time in seconds , it happened today, I've already tried to Ctrl+click on timecode , checked it in project settings, composition setting and display in preferences,  I don't know what to do , it is so annoying 

Hello guys,Is there a way to change the language of the entered text, for example from English to Bulgarian This is a screenshot from Illustrator. As you can see in the character, we have this option to change the input language. Here I putted it on Bulgarian.
