After Effects

We have an Adobe contract. One machine is limited to WIndows 10 and will be upgraded when possible.  We are running AE vrs 23. However we have lost the link to Cinema 4D lite.  We have also installed AE vrs 22 however the problem remains.  Creative cloud no longer offers an add to option.  Is there anyway of being able to use Cinema Lite as a 3D renderer again?

after effects can't continue advanced 3d plug-in generated an unexpected exception 에프터 이펙트 컴포지션에서 advanced 3d로 설정하고 3d를 활성화하면 위 내용과 같은 오류 안내가 뜨고 진행을 할 수가 없습니다. 이를 해결하기 위해 다음 방법을 써봤습니다. 1. 에프터 이펙트 재설치2. 에프터 24.0 버전 설치 후 최신버전 설치3. 그래픽 드라이버 최신 업데이트4. 그래픽 3d 설정 초기화5. 에프터이펙트 관리자 권한으로 실행6. 외부 3d 플러그인 삭제 위의 방법을 모두 써봤는데도 해결이 안됩니다. 도와주시면 감사드리겠습니다.

J'utilise after effect en mode silencieux avec l'executable aerender.exe.Le rendu plante souvent et le projet aep reste ouvert en fond de after effect. La fenêtre du projet planté est blanche puis windows m'indique que l'application after effect ne répond plus.C'est avec after effect v24.0 mais j'espère pouvoir trouver quelqu'un capable d'exploiter les infos dans les crash reports.J'ai essayé avec v25.0 et j'ai toujours le problème. j'ai récolté plusieurs crash report que je souhaiterais joindre mais impossible ici. Où puis-je les envoyer svp ? Par avance, merci beaucoup!

Hello Giants of the Industry! (yes, I'm sucking up).I'm trying to get a 3D object to stay on a 3D camera solid I've created. I whip picked the object to the track solid but as the camera pans right the object drifts off. The solid does a nice job of staying on the table surface it tracked. I selected active camera. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (other than trying to put a T-Rex in a science lab)?

When i try press button "Edit" ( https://imgur.com/a/QFFb4bK )  , she doesnt work. I have reinstalled AE many times, reinstalled the plugin itself, but all to no avail, however, what is worth noting is that if I take a ready-made preset on MBL (without using "Edit"), it will work perfectly.Does anyone know what this could be related to? Please, I don't know what to do anymore I think it could be related to file directories, since for example I don't have a LooksBulder folder in "Program Files(x86)", although I am most likely wrong

I'm trying out After Effects CC and doing a simple position animation with an easy eased keyframe. I'm hping to adjust the bezier handles in the Graph editer as I've done a thousand time but I can't get them to appear. Am i missing a check box or something somewhere?

So in short everytime I use my rotobrush, the mask begins drift off its intended path after the first frame.  Before:After:          This is a minor example of what happens, often it gets worse when involving people  From what I've found:       1. This applies for all clips, even ones that has little to no movement at all.       2. Any version I downloaded struggled with the same issue       3. Pre-Composing does not the fix issue at all.  What really boggles my mind is rotobrush was working completely fine for over a year and it happens now for some reason. If anyone can help, please and thank you. (Also please note that english isn't my first language so I apologize if I have any grammar issues)

Hello community,I opened a .aep file that I hadn't opened in 2 to 3 months. Upon launch, I didn't receive any message indicating missing files, and I don't have any Photoshop files. However, when I start the preview, it works for a while then abruptly stops and displays an error message.I cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects, updated Camera Raw, but to no avail.I'm lost because I can't seem to solve this problem. I've searched everywhere on the internet and haven't found a solution to my problem, so I hope you can help me here. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue as a previous poster where the first frame the rotobrush is trash while the rest are great, this is especially problematic if you tweak settings like feather/reduce chatter, it makes the first frame feel like a jarring jump cut mistake. How do I resolve this?There are no additional keyframes meaning nothing is warping due to keyframing. 

All plug-ins from Magic Bullet Suite work as they should but only that I need is 'Looks''When i press ''edit'' button there is a short loading and nothing elseHow can I solve this?

I have what I think is a very simple question about Null Objects that I just can't seem to figure out.  I've got three null objects as parent to several child objects moving nicely across the screen. Simple motion from one side to the other. But, I'd like all three Null Objects and all their children to pause for a few seconds and then start moving again. I've tried to create keyframes to pause the motion in the Null Object but that doesn't seem to work. The objects don't stay still but jump back and forth between two keyframes with the exact same position.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.  In the attached images I have a heart particle system along with the settings and I would like to know what I can do to make the following adjustments: 1) How can I make the particles full opacity throughout?2) How do I chance the color so all the hearts match the Asset_heart attached?3) I have the glue effect on my floor and would like the hearts to stick for a couple seconds then disappear without the opacity fade.  How can I fix that. Thank you in advance.

Hello,I'm trying to get straight, un-transformed RGB out of AE into ProRes .mov for motion graphics for webpage viewing. I'm doing a bunch of test exports to try to figure out how to do that. In the Export Settings > Summary section of the Format (Quicktime) Options panel, I noticed no matter what I change (Project Settings, Render Settings), it always contains Rec. 709 (circled in screenshot). I think this might be the root of my color problems.Does anyone know how to remove this Rec. 709?Thank you. 

im trying to test my plugin for after effect but adobe uxp development tool dont have support of after effect what should i do now. i talked with agent they are also saying you have to raise the issue in community 

I'm working in After Effects 2020.My preview playback is off-center within the composition panel and I don't know how to fix it.I'm sure it's an easy fix but I am completely new to this program.

In After Effects, every time I import a 3D object, it is automatically recognized as a Trapcode object, even though I am using the correct AE version and workflow. Steps to reproduce:1. Open After Effects 2. Import a 3D object obj, gbl and verything else i tried3. Observe that AE labels it as a Trapcode object Expected result:The 3D object should import normally as a native 3D layer, without being converted or linked to Trapcode.Actual result:AE always treats the imported object as Trapcode, preventing proper use as a native AE 3D object.Platform: Windows 11 

I'm writing to you today because I'm absolutely floored by the performance hit I've taken in After Effects (v25.3.2) since the latest update, combined with the NVIDIA driver (576.90). Seriously, my workflow has been thrown back to the Stone Age, and it's making my job incredibly difficult.What used to take minutes now takes hours. It's like my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is no longer being utilized properly. Everything that isn't standard HD is being encoded by software, which is just ridiculously slow. And just to be clear, I'm not even using VBR 2-pass encoding; I'm sticking to single-pass! I'm now stuck rendering to Apple ProRes first, then converting that to MP4 (H.264), just to get anything done. This two-step process is eating up so much time, and it's simply unsustainable for my deadlines.My rig is no slouch either: an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB of RAM, and Windows 11. It's built for performance, and After Effects is currently bottlenecking everything.This isn't just an inconvenience;

Is it possible to export an A.E project from A.E 2025 to A.E 2024? Thanks.

Is it possible to merge several shapes into a single new shape?Say, for example, a group of people symbols in a comp would merge together into a house or church icon?Thanks!

My After effects is showing the error: "Adobe After Efffects 2025.app" is corruptedt and cannot be opened. We recommend moving the item to the trash." I tried reinstalling, caleaning, downgrade to older versions. All without any effect. I am using a 2023 mac studio, Apple M2 Ultra proccessor with 128GB Ram and Sequoia 15.5 - german language. I also tried to delete the camera raw plugin in the CC-Plugin / library folder.  I read this in the foum. The other adobe prgrams are working well. Please help me... This window appers right in that moment after doublke clicking the symbol.  

Why is it called pre-composed? This activity separate & creates the layer in a new composition. In my view most sitable name is post-composed.

Greetings Community, I'm using After Effects, and when I put a project in the timeline, it automatically adjusts to the length of the media (COOL, GREAT, AMAZING shout out to yall), but it won't let me zoom out of the time to see the entire length if I add media that is longer than the original import. Is my AE buggin, is this intentional, or am I just missing something?
