After Effects

Hello Adobe community, Long story short, my workflow often involves creating many legal disclaimers before publishing my video. This is usually done by grabbing the information from a word or excel document and putting it back into Premiere via copy and paste. I usually receive these documents from another team, and the time it takes to render, bounce it back to them for double check, change any typos etc... is quite a lot if you add it up over the year. Since we live in the time of AI and automation, I was wondering if there's a way to automate this? I did a bit of digging into .CSV automation through After Effects but since the text is usually quite long, and some parts need to be in bold - it doesn't feel like the way to go.  Thank you!

Hi, any help much appreciated! I'm a novice when it comes to scripting in AE, and was wondering if someone knew how to write an expression that would either control the opacity of a layer (to make it visible or not) or toggle the visibility of the layer (if that's possible).I have an AE template with a set of 12 presenter images in it. What I want to do is automate which presenter is made visible.This would need to be controlled by an external JSON script, so for instance in my JSON script, I have :[{"Reporter": "presenter_john_smith"}]What I want to do, is if "presenter_john_smith" is present in the JSON, then this presenter image shows up at 100% opacity in the comp, all the other presenters will have the same expression, but are looking for a different name in the JSON, so will be opacity 0. This is what i've put in the opacity as an expression, which doesn't work:myData = footage("presenters.json").sourceData[0];data = myData.Reporter("presenter_john_smith") = active;100Does that m

 My system is high end machine but still i am facing low memory error. pls suggest me what to do?  

Anyone have an idea how to use the reshape effect with with compound shapes? Essentially I have 3...let's call them "donuts"... with different inner and outer diameters. I need to morph the smallest to the middle size and the middle size to the largest in sequence. The inner and outer diameters scale at different rates (small very fat ring donut, to middle sized moderately fat ring donut, to large skinny ring donut). When I create the masks for these donuts, I get an inner and outer mask for each - but I can't use both masks in the reshape. I have to use either the inner diameter mask - which means my outer diameter doesn't scale correctly, or the outer diameter mask - which means my inner diameter doesn't scale correctly. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm stumped!

I was experimenting with the SDK's parameters to improve my plugin user experience. Basically, I just want some settings to be collapsed in an "advanced settings" section. To do so I used the PF_ADD_TOPIC and PF_END_TOPIC macros. The topic is well displayed in premiere in the effects pannel, but all the settings within the topic's section have a value of zero during the execution of the program, no matter the parameters within the section. I tested it with another plugin I am working on, and I have the exact same problemAll of the other parameters outside the topic are workingI tried to remove the AEFX_CLR_STRUCT but it changed nothingstatic PF_Err ParamsSetup ( PF_InData *in_data, PF_OutData *out_data, PF_ParamDef *params[], PF_LayerDef *output ) { PF_Err err = PF_Err_NONE; PF_ParamDef def; AEFX_CLR_STRUCT(def); PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX( STR(StrID_Ratio_Param_Name), TINTER_RATIO_MIN, TINTER_RATIO_MAX, TINTER_RATIO_MIN, TINTER_RATIO_MAX, TINTER_RAT

I'm trying to create a library of animated shapes I've made, and I find it difficult to delete all the footage after every project and then save the project with all the layers that I don't necessarily need, however I do want the option to use it again for a later project.Is there a way to export a composition as a separate After Effects file?Please & thank you for your time.Best,Kenny

Does anyone have any pointers on how to get my After Effects app to download onto my MacBook Pro? I have updated my Mac to latest software and I have restarted the download multiple times and it keeps saying it is "waiting" this has been going on for 2 days. I have already downloaded the creative cloud app

Preview resolution is shown as full in every option and when I render the video, there is only sound and no screen display. It used to be normal. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?

Whenever I try to type text or manually change type in a number in an effect, After Effects does not seem to take the input. Rather it just flashes the blue skinny box highlighter thing. What is causing this problem? Whenever I hold down on my clicker the box is clearly there, but it doesn't do the usual thing where I just click on a section once and the box stays there. At first I thought it was just a small meaningless thing but it's preventing me from typing text and I need some help.

Upon startup after effects crashes "after effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup" message appears. I'm using Mac OS 15.4.1 sequoia.

I am trying to use Content-Aware Fill in After Effects to remove a title on the cover of a book, and I want to use "Create Reference Frame" to open the default app of Photoshop to get a clean cover. But whenever I try to use it it takes me to Adobe Illustrator? I have tried using encoder to change the format of the video and importing as a png sequence but neither of them worked. I don't know what to change or what to look for in order to change it. I have tried researching websites and videos but there is nothing covering this. Can anyone help?

hello everyone, whenever my pc comes out of sleep mode, the playback in ae doesn't work - there's no audio at all, the red line/time indicador only work once, then they're stuck. (and the preview time goes back a frame too) apparently this is caused by the audio hardware, when you use headphones or speakers or whatever. however, i dont use headphones, nor do i have extra speakers since i use the ones in my monitor.  there's a similar thread with the exact same problem i face right now on here already, but none of their advice seem to work for me. Solved: after effect preview not work - Adobe Support Community - 9804111 i hope my explanation made sense.this is driving me insane and i really don't know what to do anymore.  also, i use ae 2019ram 16 gb  

I think I may have changed the "saved loadout" Please help me reset the saved loadout

Hi there, I discovered a really annoying bug that needs to adressed asap. When I create a Premiere project with Dynamic links in After Effects on a Windows machine and later on open the same project on a Mac, upon saving the After Effects project, it deletes itself. It vanished, literally. Example: I create and work on a project with multiple dynamic links on a windows machine. Later I open the same project on my MacBook, and right click the dynamic link > edit original. Change the composition in AE, hit save and boom! Gone.  When you close out AE you're in bad luck. It;s nowhere to be found. Workaround is to hit 'save as...'  I've read online multiple people running into this problem. This is a serious and known problem and needs to be fixed asap! 

Hello, I updated to AE 25.3 this morning and quickly realized that scrolling on the mouse would pan the composition window instead of zooming in and out of it as it has in past versions. I confirmed this by rolling back to version 25.2.2 and it restored the scroll as zoom. Was this intentional or a bug? Is there a way to switch this in the settings? Mac StudioM3 UltraSequoia 15.4.1

 I tried to export a video and when it got to the end it failed because it reached a composition. Then i went inside of that composition and tried to export it but it kept saying Connecting to Dynmaic Link server. My export settings are the default Match sorce - high bitrate settings and I don't really see any problem with the composition itself. 60fps 1920 x 1080

I'm trying to import a "psd" file with layers into Ae 2022. But it keeps giving me a "Bad Tracked Memory ID 23::33" error. And for what it seems, this error has been happening to many users since Jan 2022.Say, Adobe. What gives? Are you going to fix this?Or is time for me to lookup an Ae alternative?

Hey, I'm using generate > audio waveform. I'd really like the waveform to start about halfway into a flat line.  Is there a way to manipulate the waveform, or to draw a line and dictate where the waveform begins, so it flatlines at the beginning or end?  THanks!

 ExtendScript’s conditional operator resolves expressions in the wrong order. In the case of:true ? a : true ? b : c;I would expect it to return a, but ExtendScript actually returns b. This behavior is a major source of latent bugs in scripts. It urgently needs to be fixed. I first noticed this when injecting polyfills into legacy ExtendScript. Common minification plugins like terser convert if statements into ternary expressions. To avoid relying on polyfills, Adobe should either update ExtendScript to support at least ES2015 or fix this egregious bug.

Hello, good day. I am a vulnerability analyst and recently an alert has come out regarding CVE-2024-12797, where your application is exposed through the OpenSSL versions of your “libcrypto-3-x64.dll” and “libssl-3-x64.dll” files using OpenSSL version 3.2.1.0. I would be grateful if you could let me know an estimated date, when it will be possible to upgrade to OpenSSL version 3.2.4.0 in the mentioned libraries. These detections occur through the plugin “mochaae” that is integrated with After Effects, in a path as “adobe media encoder 2025 ”aftereffectslib", which is triggering the exposure of the Adobe Media Encoder (25.2) and Adobe Premier Pro (25.2.3) applications.

I'm working with a customizable MOGRT created from an After Effects. The project contains multiple precomposed media placeholders (e.g., "media 01", "media 02", etc.), each precomp includes a solid layer with time remapping enabled. Each placeholder is designed to be replaced by a video in Premiere Pro.Here’s what I’ve done so far:I precomposed each solid individually and enabled time remapping for all media placeholders.I made sure that each placeholder is exactly 50 seconds long to match the main “Render” composition duration.I exported the MOGRT and imported it into Premiere Pro.I replaced each placeholder with a new video (1 minute or more) using the Essential Graphics panel.Issues:Only the first 5–6 videos play properly, the rest freeze and display only the first or last frame.All media placeholders start playing from the beginning of the timeline, instead of starting from their respective position (e.g., "media 15" should start playing at 30 seconds, but instead it plays from fra

SALVEI OS ARQUIVOS DE FORMA CORRETA DO PHOTOSHOP. Quando fui subir no after, lê como foto e não como camada. E sim, coloquei todas as opções certas na hora de importar o arquivo. Salvei de novo e foi. dps os outros não foram. mesmo eu tentando salvar de novo. Desinstalei tudo, até o adobe creative cloud e NADA. Não adianta. Atualizei, desinstalei, instalei versão anterior NADA! CONTINUA DANDO PROBLEMA E EU PRECISO FAZER ESSE TRABALHO! Não sei oq tpa havendo! sempre faço isso e da certo!

When opening various new Ae files, I seem to be unable to play the animation back more than once (after starting and stopping) without the stage turning blank and the programme becoming unresponsive. Ae has no 3rd party plug-ins, only overlord used. I have tried new files, old files and even kept them simple (creating a simple vector circle) and this still happens. Even tried older versions and a colleagues mac which is much more powerful and others have tried and get the same issue too. I have cleared caches and reset preferences. I feel like the issue could be to do with the Ae project settings perhaps?? Any ideas or help very welcome!
