After Effects

 Hello,  I managed to google and use AI to write this script - it crops the selected layer to the layer above. Works well! But I'd also like it to move the last two keyframes on the position property to the layers new outpoint. I'm not sure if scripts are able to move keyframes like that? I haven't been able to find anything that works when adding it to this script. var selectedLayer = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0]; var layerAbove = selectedLayer.index - 1; var layerAboveDuration = app.project.activeItem.layer(layerAbove).outPoint; selectedLayer.outPoint = layerAboveDuration; Any suggestions would be amazing. Thank you

Bonjour,C'est la première fois que je m'adresse à un forum (il y a un début à tout) et je vous remercie par avance de vos réponses si vous pouvez m'aider.Je travaille depuis un moment sur After Effects en autodidacte et je réalise une animation qui a deux états.Il s'agit d'une tête de Cylon de la série Battlestar Galactica, pour ceux qui connaissent. Ce robot a deux types d'animation : soit son œil translate de gauche à droite, soit il reste fixe tout en scintillant.J'ai créé ces deux animations à l'aide de deux calques et j'ai effectué deux rendus avec chacune d'entre elles.Par contre, comme j'ai créé ces deux calques dans le même projet, si je veux passer d'une animation à l'autre, je dois aller au fin fond des compositions et masquer/démasquer les deux calques.Ma question est la suivante : est-il possible d'afficher, par exemple, dans une petite fenêtre à part (ça serait extraordinaire), une case qui ferait que, si je clique dessus, elle masquerait l'un des deux calques pour affiche

What I want is to have a pixel perfect separation distance across each letter of a word:So, from the very side edges the distance between each letter to another must be exactly the same.Snap to grid was my first thought but it doesn't work because you will never get both sides of a letter to touch a grid line Any suggestions?

Hello, for grading I'm trying to create an alpha matte for the VFX Layer, I've attached a pic of how the Composited Layer looks like in AE that was applied to the original shot, how can I turn just the red blood parts into an alpha matte? As currently it exports all the white parts as part of the matte too? It's made up of multiple of layers.  

There are users not familiar with the After Effects feature that allows you to drag a numeric property value in the timeline into the Composition Panel to display this value dynamically. The only issue with this feature is that it writes Expression that uses Javascript String Concatenation which is messy to edit and almost always leads to user error. So, I wrote a script that converts the Expression to one that uses Template Literals which uses Javascript String Interpolation which is more readable and a lot easier to edit so you can more easily apply text styling and paragraph alignment of your choice.Download Link to the script and other Useful Links are below -  https://www.broadcastgems.com/post/creating-dynamic-overlay-values-in-adobe-after-effects

is there any way to have a second alpha track matte for another layer?One way would be a pre comp, but is there any way without a pre comp?

created a map graphic in illustrator and want to convert vector to shape in after effects to extrude using cinema 4d but coming up with this error - After Effects error: TDL: outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork. (88::3)Have tried simplifying the illustrator file (deleting unneeded points, simplifying number of points) and purging memory and disk cache but no luck 😞 any thoughts? Thanks

Bonjour,Après de multiples essais dans Ae 2025 : Import texte vectoriel depuis Ai (manuel ou via overlord) dans une compo en HD 1920x1080 - 29.97 i/sParamètre "intégral" activé dans AeRasterisation activé "soleil" dans AeLa forme (texte) reste pixellisée !? (J'ai testé aussi avec un calque texte)Quelqu'un connaît le problème svp ?

I have my label colors set to highly saturated color because that's how I want them. But now with Ae2025, if I select the 'Dark' theme, all of these colors are darkened as well. If I wanted the label colors darker I would make them darker in the Label preferences. At a minimum, this should not be the default behavior. Ideally you should include a switch to make it optional. Please fix this!

I have custom render settings and output modules, but Creative Cloud does not transfer them to updated AE versions. What can I do?

I have the new MacBook Pro M4, I had a Macbook Pro 2021 (intel) where I downloaded and installed CC. Now, I am trying to download AE and nothing happens, (when I transitioned to this new laptop all the apps including AI tranferred and downloaded with no problems using the Migration Assistant). I checked the compability specs and its says Mac Sonoma and others and I have Mac Sequioa, which doesnt seem to be listed), could that be the issue of why I can't update or download new/existing Adobe Apps? Note: I usually use CC and all Adobe Apps on desktop PC at work, I want to use on Macbook Pro for convience and pratice at home, and I am the owner of the account as well.

I can't open the script Animated Typeface.jsxbin in the latest version of After Effects 25.4. However in the version 24.6.8 I was able to open the script. The message that appear says: Unable to execute script at line 215. JSON is undefined.  

In the last few days, After Effects has been horribly distorting audio on the timeline. This applies to both MP3 and WAV files. The audio renders properly. These are the Preview settings, if it matters. Any suggestions? 

Hello! I'm new to after effects but I'm having a hard time following tutorials and how to use the software, does anyone have a tutorial on how to learn it easier? I'm a visual learner btw !

Bonjour, Sur la dernière version d'After Affects 25.3.2 sous windows, lorsque j'applique n'importe lequel des effets "tremblement" (position, rotation,taille...) rien ne se passe.j'ai tenté d'appliquer les effets sur tout type de calques mais aucun résultat.  Auriez-vous une explication ?

Hi, Is it possible in After Effects to change color of the text then goes back to its original color after the word was mentioned by the audio script? It's like a karaoke style but instead of staying to one color following the script. It should go back. Sample is this https://www.instagram.com/p/DNgCTVcxwaa/?hl=en , from "It took me...." text effect around 8 seconds. 

\\so when i go to open after effects it gives me this and it says also gives me plugin errors so ik its about plugins but idk how to fix ive tried restaring pc, reintsalling ae, deleting plugins but its even the plugins that come with ae i get an error so please help 

Posting this incase others are having similar issues or know solutions - I utilise MacOS Applescript in an Ae product (BlenderAe) from the command line https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/introduction/overview.html#running-scripts-from-the-command-line-a-batch-file-or-an-applescript-script and some users are reporting that it's not working with Ae2024 but works perfectly fine with Ae2023 on the same machine. In my own tests I was able to replicate the issue - DoScriptFile was indeed freezing up and not reaching Ae2024 until I added it to the 'Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access'. But this solution did NOT work for the users that reported the problem, and even re-installing After Effects 2024 hasn't helped them. I'm currently waiting for them to try `sudo tccutil reset All com.adobe.AfterEffects` from the terminal. I don't have the latest mac to test personally atm, so any other ideas on fixing this would be appreciated.

After installing the 25.3 update After Effects will crash on trying to open projects. I have tried creating new projects, saving them and opening those also causes After Effects to crash. I have tried rolling back to 25.22 and the problem still persists. I have also tried completely reinstalling the entire Creative Suite and it didn't resolve the issue. In event Viewer the General Application Hang summary states "The program AfterFX.exe version 25.3.0.71 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.
