After Effects

hi! i downloaded a plugin called "magic bullet looks" following a youtube video. every time i try to download it, it always says "This installer application has been moved. It must run from its original folder containing a packages directory. The installer will now exit." i tried downloading it many times, but it keeps saying the same thing. does anyone know what i can do to fix this?

 At the image above, I would like the "coffee cup" to use the Null Object's rotation as a position. As you can see I am trying to make a clock animation, when the short hands points to 10 o'clock, the coffee cup should be there too but that's not the problem. 

I'm having this issue on every post 2020 versions of After Effects: When I flip horizontally or vertically a layer the rotation of all the layers linked to it get inverted. It's really hard to animate layers like that because the rigs start to behave way less intuitive.I would like to know if there's any way to solve this problem and make that the parented layers behave like they used to on older versions.

Cómo puedo descargar una versión anterior de After Effects? En Creative Cloud no me da la opción.

Hi! Every time I try to to a reverse copy-paste keyframes, I get this message: After Effects error: attempt to inquire about a key value in a time stream with no key values ( 29 :: 84) I tried on two different computers, and I get the same result all the time.I work on a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2023 (Apple M2 Pro) with 32 GB of memory, and I'm currently using After Effects 25.3.2. Can someone help me, please?Thank you! Chris.

Here's something I'm not getting ever after trying to figure out why it's happening. So I'm working on a cutout animation for one of my classes and all I really need to do is move and rotate body parts. This only started now but whenever i use the rotation tool it's inverted, or just going the opposite direction of my mouse. To put it in perspective if I'm turning something clockwise, its going counter clockwise (rotate object up but it goes down instead and vise versa). Any tips or reason as to why this is happening? It's really annoying

I accidentally clicked on "Do not Migrate" with the latest update when prompted to migrate settings.  I wanted to click on "Migrate Settings."  But the prompt is gone now, and I would still like to migrate my settings.  Is it possible to migrate still?

Is there a way to create a magnet to which particles would stick? I just cannot find this functionality and the online manual sucks so there's no help there.

Hi all, I have to export a lot of different still images with a specific naming but each time i do a Save Frame As... , it adds the frame number at the end of comps name. I would like to know if there's any way of removing it by default.  In the render queue, I always have to select comp's Output To: and Re-select "Comp name" manually for each export and it is really a pain . Thanks in advance

Hi gang; I have a plugin that does it's thing via checking out another layer. If I grab the effect layer in the timeline (the colored bar) and shift it left or right, to have my effect start earlier or later, it doesn't. It just starts the effect midway through. This is because the effect relies on the composition's current frame. As such, I think I need to find a function that returns the offset that the layer has been shifted in the timeline. So if I were to shift the layer 5  frames earlier in the timeline, I need a function that returns that. I saw in the SDK there is AEGP_GetLayerOffset: Get the offset from the start of the composition tolayer time 0, in composition time.AEGP_GetLayerOffset(AEGP_LayerH layerH,A_Time *offsetPT); Is this what I would want? I tried to find some examples of how to use this but didn't find any. Any suggestions? I'm not sure I was able to convey what I'm after but hopefully so. Thanks,-Rich

i can't solve this problem i try everything can you help pls

Am wondering if anyone knows the keyboard shortcut to change the "focus" to the timeline panel.  I couldn't find anything in the keyboard editor.  There is a similar functionality in Premiere using Command + 3.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I created a project using layers from illustrator as I have done multiple times before. In After Effects everything seems to be in the right place, but when I send to Media Encoder to export, the sahdow layers change position and get clipped. Is there a setting i need to change when exporting that may be causing this? I've tried multiple presets and it looks like this with any of them.Layers:On After effects:On Media Encoder / exported videoThank you! 

After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video  and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

Hie everyone, I have an Adobe subscription and would like to install the After Effects application, but when I try to install it, it says that the application is not compatible and that the system needs to be updated, but I can't figure out where to find this update. If anyone knows how to do this, I'm interested.

Hi everybodyI am trying to write a simple progress bar script, to use in my other scripts.// Function to update the progress bar function updateProgressBar(value, max) { var progressBarWindow = new Window("palette", "Progress", undefined); var progressBar = progressBarWindow.add("progressbar", undefined, 0, max); progressBarWindow.show(); progressBarWindow.center(); // Function to update the progress value progressBarWindow.updateProgress = function (value) { progressBar.value = value; this.update(); }; return progressBarWindow; } // Example usage: var progressBar = updateProgressBar(0, 100); // Create a progress bar with a maximum value of 100 var startTime = new Date().getTime(); // Get the current time var duration = 6000; // 5 seconds in milliseconds while (new Date().getTime() - startTime < duration) { // Update the progress bar value based on the elapsed time var elapsed = new Date().getTime() - startTime; var prog

I'm on apple and mainly I export video for social media usage (YouTube, Instagram, etc.) in mp4. I've been dealing with color managemnt issue for a long time yet couldn't really figure out how it works, this one is by far the most detailed explaination I've found, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf3x4dhxydk . Here's another video by Adobe telling me to disable "use display color setting", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqz7WGK2pCo .  I don't even know how to ask a proper question about the issue actually, when I enable "use display color management" the color just looks completely off, so I always keep it disabled. I wonder if it's the reason my video always look a bit washed when playing with QuickTime Player and YouTube (yet it looks fine in VTC player.) Hope someone can help me out and suggest me the best setting for social media export. Great thanks!

Hi,I am a relative After Effects novice only needing to touch it on  perhaps one or two occasions a year. I've previously produced videos and been able to edit and sync sound very easily in After Effects, that was probably a year ago, I've probably updated the app a few times since and now when I import a .wav file the preview of the sound is extremely slow and I'm unable to sync with the video? The video, however, plays perfectly at the correct pace.I've googled this quite a bit and tried all the advice that I've found i.e - amending the frame rate, restarting my Mac, assigning more RAM, previewing at the lowest resolution, fast draft previews etc etc but none of this has had any effect.Any ideas would be most grateful as After Effects is unusable for me at the moment.Many thanks in advnace

AE AE 25.3.2 MacBook Pro M2 Max - 16 Inch 2023 - 32 G0 - macOs Sequia 15.5 After Effects crashes when using third party plugins. Please Domnload the linked Video showing the process. Steps to reproduce : 1. Download and install the Last FxFactory :  https://fxfactory.com/2. Create a HD Composition3. Create a solid and add The following plugin :  FxFactory/Generator/Circle4. Resize the layer to 50% and put it to the left of the canvas5. Create a secondary solid and add The following plugin :  FxFactory/Generator/Perlin Noise6. Resize the layer to 50% and put it to the Right of the canvas7. Select the first solid and change any parameter value of the Circle plugin.8. Now select the seconday solid (It should crash... If not add a third Solid and repeat operations ) The crash appears to be trivial, due to some UI state. A more complex plugin (Example Yanobox Motype 2) probably makes it more likely because it takes a bit longer to produce a frame

Anybody know how to type Emoji in Text layer in AE 2020? Also i try to use AE2019, try AE on macOS 10.13.6 and Windows 10 Pro - but i can't see emoji in composition window.But in timeline i see emoji. After so many versions the program never learned to use Unicode fonts, I can insert emoticons into a text file, but when copying this text to AE, emoticons are not visible? 

 Im wondering if its possible using after effect achieve this kind of look like lens, i'm doing a research and trying to figure it out, someone have a clue how ? really thank you!!

I have no clue why my multiply layer on After Effects is not exporting. Its not a guide layer, it shows up in preview but not after export. I've tried exporting as RPG + Alpha/ Straight but with no luck. I've seen on another post that exporting with blend effects is simply not possible on After Effects. Is it true? Do i need to export to Premier Pro?ThanksHere is the project panel in question: 

Hello!So I downloaded some free models from tf3dm on the .obj file. When I imported them into Element 3D they were all not showing. I tried addind some materials from element itself but that didnt fix it either. The model is just invisible for some reason. I tried multiple models, all .obj and from different creators and such so its not the models' fault.. here are some screenshots, of when I import it and what I see with the materials that come with it, and with some element materials on it. By the way I use element all the time with the video copilot model packs and then it works fine. also works fine with mask extrudes models.
