After Effects

Hello, i would like to report a bug found in the Puppet Position Pin Tool.When using a character that's animated with a Null Object, I tried to apply the Puppet Position Pin Tool to make small movements in the character's body parts. However, after the recent update, the pins and mesh no longer follow the character's position correctly — everything becomes misaligned and glitchy.

I have a project I made on this very same laptop (didn't change a thing) and now when I open the project, the app is stuck in a "not responding" state, and my cursor is stuck on the loading animation. It's just 6 simple trim path animations with track mattes on them, nothing 3D, no motion blur, no effects. Like I said, I made this entire thing on this laptop, and wherever I left it was playing back smooth and working fine. Now, I open it and the pre-comp that the animations are in just freezes the entire program, I can't move or click on anything because it's stuck trying to render a simple shape animation. Macbook Specs:M4 Pro24 GB RammacOS Seqouia 15.5

i keep installing it even from the vlack magic web page and  nothing happens and this window keeps opening  macbook m1 latest update of everything

I am a beginner in AE and primarly focused on learning text motion animations. However for my editing I need the Time Line to be in seconds instead of frames and shows (e.g. 2:00f). I have watched countless of videos and read articles but I have no idea how to change it. I have AE 2025.

Hi everyone,  I am facing some issues with After Effects 2022.I am running Windows 11 on a Dell Inspiron 15 5510, Intel Core i7-11370H at 3.30GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVME SSD, Iris Xe Graphics. Every time I open the app, it runs fine, I get 2 mins of proper functioning, then, preview freezes, and then the app stops responding. I tried giving it maximum RAM, it has 13GB for adobe apps. The same problem persists, I have even tried turning off hardware acceleraion and using Mercury Only without GPU. Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

I had it on by default so whenever I've started a new comp or an entire new project, each time I would edit keyframes on the graph the fit view option would be kept on by default. This is no longer the case here. Everytime I open it I can't see the keyframes or anything. I always have to click "Fit all graphs to view". Is there a way to change this back? Because I can't find such option.

Every time I open After Effects, two error windows immediately pop up, and then the program shuts down automatically. I've already tried reinstalling it, but the issue still persists. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thank you. (QQ!!)

If your text keeps getting cut off on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Facebook, you're not alone.   In this video, I share my FFX preset and MoGrt which highlights safe zones for vertical videos. You can use this to make sure your graphics, captions, and overlays actually show up and not be trimmed or hidden by like and share buttons.   I show how it works in your comps (and PP sequences) and how to install for both After Effects (Mac OS and Windows) and Premiere Pro. Then you'll be free to use it to help create videos for TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts and X.  I also have a bit of fun in this video where I interupt myself (its a little hard to explain, but clearly I have too much time on my hands).     https://ko-fi.com/s/b5fbe0e47f

When using essential properties for text, a bug occasionally causes text jitter issues during rendering. This result is unpredictable but usually occurs after editing the text with essential properties. The problem occurs when using optical kerning with essential properties. The fix for now: when using text in essential properties, ensure the kerning is set to "metric" instead of "optical." The jitter seems to occur only when kerning is set to "optical," and appears to switch back to "metric" kerning only for a few frames shown below. flicker issue with optical kerningno flicker with metric kerning This error occurs in both After Effects and Premiere (when using MoGRTs created in After Effects), as Premiere relies on After Effects for rendering MoGRTs. The solution: Until the bug is addressed, always use "metric" kerning when working with essential properties for text in After Effects and creating MoGRTs. If you have a MoGRT using "optical kerning," open i

Hey all,This is one of those questions I USED to know the answer to... but I'm coming back to AE after having basically not used it for several years, so I don't remember how this worked, and for some weird reason, I can't find the answer. I have a piece of footage that is shorter than the entire composition. I want to freeze the last frame and hold it there until the composition reaches its end point. I do not want to change the timing of anything in the footage/layer itself-- just freeze and hold the last frame. It really seems like "freeze frame" SHOULD do this, but it just shows a frozen frame (converted the avi file to a still image in this instance, I think.) I need a frozen still of the *last* frame that will last for the duration of the entire comp. Please help me remember how this is done!! Thanks for all help and advice.

I am currently working on an AE comp (v. 23.1.o Build 83 - Mac OS Monterey v 12.6). I created a new comp and some text layers and discovered when typing the word "PEOPLE", the letter L automatically shows up as lower case and when I try to type it UPPER case it changes the font to Helvetica. It only happens when using the Extra Bold font style. 

I have an After Effects file that was working totally fine earlier today, but now I cannot open the file.  When I do, it just lingers on the "Open Project" screen, shortly followed by "(not responding)".  I also cannot open any of the Auto-Save files, even the ones from yesterday in which I know the file was working fine. The file has Dynamic Links to a Premiere Project I am working on.  I've tried opening After Effects using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift Click method to clear preferences; I've cleard the cache; copied file to new location and drive; removed MEDIA folder to try to break links.  All have the same result.... If the file is corrupt, why would the auto-save files also not be working?  This makes me wonder if there is something fishy going with the Dynamic Links... Please help!

j'aimerais savoir s'il est possible de faire la location d'After Effect pour seulement quelques mois par année de façon aléatoire (me désabonner et me réabonner par après) j'en aurais besoin que pour quelques mois de façon aléatoire, j'aimerais mieux l'acheter mais...

afterefectsを入れたばかりなのですが、再生をすると途中でプレビューのインジケーターが止まってしまいます。映像は正常に流れています。プロジェクトも一つもなく、キャッシュも一切溜まっていない状態です。PCは、Dell Alienware Aurora R16 ゲーミング デスクトップ GEFORCE RTX4090 corei9-14900KF RAM64GBを使用しています。PCのスペック的には問題ないと思うのですが、どなたか原因を知っている方がいたら教えてほしいです。

Unable to Open latest major release on my Laptop, whilst v24.x LTS works fine. Can you point me in the right direction as to where I may be able to pull log files to analyse further. 

Since I have a more powerful computer, After Effects crashes constantly during the simplest tasks like creating a mask. I have to restart the computer every two minutes while working. The computer has an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-Core Processor, 100 GB of RAM, and an RTX 5080 graphics card. All drivers are up to date. When I perform the same tasks on the old computer (Intel, 40 GB of RAM, RTX 3080), I have no problems. What could be the reason for that?

Anytime i make a composition and i put the FPS above 15 the preview slows down to 10ms render time and i cant seem to fix it. i can add as many effects as i want but when i go above 15 fps it slows. i have 64 gbs of ram and 58 allocates, an intel i7, a 4060ti, and 200 gbs free on my storage disc. no matter what i do from every post i have read it will not work. if anyone has an idea on how to fix this without mentioning ram, storage, cache, etc please help

Hello,I’m experiencing a persistent low‑resolution issue in After Effects, and I can’t figure out the cause.Here are the details:Compositions are set to 1920×1080 (Full HD).Draft 3D is OFF.Adaptive Resolution is OFF (Preview set to Full).VC Orb plugin is being used (textures are 6K resolution).Color settings in the project: 32 bpc.Preview scaling is 100% in the Comp panel.Output still looks noticeably softer compared to tutorials using identical settings.Things I’ve checked:The textures are confirmed to be high‑resolution (6K JPG).Gamma/Brightness settings match the tutorial.I’ve tested with multiple comps and cameras.Additional example:The same low‑resolution effect happens in another comp where I use CC Ball Action (screenshot attached). Even at 1080×1080 or 1920×1080 comps, the small elements look blurred compared to the expected sharp result.Question:What else could cause low resolution in both plugins/effects when all settings appear correct? Could it be related to:Comp size vs. t

Hello. I need to install Adobe After Effects 2022 (version 22.x) for compatibility with existing projects. It's not available in Creative Cloud. Could you provide the offline installer or help me install this version?
