After Effects

Hi, i`m trying to track camera but it got stuck on Solving Camera. It`s 12 seconds video, .mpeg. I`m using AE CC 2018. It took a lot of time for background analyze but now it stuck in solving. aproxx 10-15 minutes already it says Solving Camera. And I can`t find how to enable the percentage of progress of tracking. My pc; Ram - 16gb, video: 2gb, proc: intel i7. 2.4 Ghz. What can I do?

Hi! I was trying to do a Bevel Emboss coupled with Time Displacement effect to get that twisty animation effect, trouble is after i've turned the layer 3D and rotate it at the Y axis this fuzzy outline (on the stroke) appeared and i cannot get rid of it , this is the first time i've encountered this issue and not really sure how to fix it. My renderer is definately set to Advanced 3D etc, i've turned off all shadows and light because i only wanted a flat vector look. As you can see from the screenshot in Custom View 2 it's present on the other 2 shapes but didn't appear until i set some animation key frames. It's definately in the test mp4 i rendered out in case it's just a preview glitch, any ideas? Thank you.

As titled suggests, can't figure it out - Please help!   

I'm designing a lower third for one of our brands and have an animated object with 3 keyframes.I need to link the 3rd keyframe to a slider so my team can eventually adjust that value in Premiere with essential graphics without affecting the other keyframes.What expression should I use to do this?I imagine it would look something like this (with better syntax):if ( key(index) = 3 ) {key(index).value = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");}elsekey(index).value = value

So I have Creative pro CC. I run it on a Mac, but now i want to have it also on my PC. The problem is, after the first installation of Premiere Pro and After effects, both crashed on my PC. I got a message from after effects : crash in progress 6720 gpu foundation 5 done loading modules device opencl(1) No message from premiere.  Anybody knows what to do? It's pretty frustrating. I got a super PC i just build with an NVIDIA 4080 super. (16g of VRAM and over 100 GB or ram) Maybe it's because of my graphic card but i'm not sure. Someone else ever had this problem? I don't know what to do and nothing seems to work. 

I'm trying to learn After Effects; after Animate screwed up and deleted my save file, I want to focus on something else, but I literally can't use their tutorials. I just want to know how to remove an effect from the timeline after a certain point (Like after five seconds, the effect disappears.) But I can't find anyone explaining it online, other than how to remove the effect from the entire timeline itself, which isn't what I want to do. I assume the answer is so incredibly simple that it's not found online, so I wanted to look at one of the tutorials and find the answer without asking people a potentially stupid question. Now I find out that the in-app tutorial button is just a bad prank. Because it does literally nothing. I restarted the app and my computer multiple times, and it just won't load anything. I'm just flabbergasted that every single Adobe product is having this many issues, like.. really? The in-app tutorials don't even work? Why is the option even there? I have n

I want this ball have a motion behind the cup. For that I use inverted matte. When ball cross cup handle, only portion of the ball behind the cup handle should be invisible & other portion should be visible. How it can be done? video is uploaded as well.    

I'm using AE 2025We did the testing and got the texture and animation to appear with FBX files.But when I bring new 3D models or have the working model brought into a new comp, the animation drop-down in the Animation Options is gone.  I'm a bit clueless if it's a bug, a setting in the comps, or something specific I need to do beforehand. It's getting frustrating that the animation options exist in one comp and not in others. We did update the 3D Object's texture, but I feel like that shouldn't have caused any issues on the animation side

Hello Friends,Please help me on below situation:This is updated image, previous image wrong , sorry for it. 

Is there a smart way (script?) to be able to find the exact position of anchor point of a layer in order to zoom it in full frame from a specific point of interest using keyframes for scale property only without altering the initial position property? 

In After Effects, the mask outline is still visible in preview even though no layer is selected and ‘Show Layer Controls’ is turned off. How can I hide the mask path from preview?”

Hi everyone!I'm new to After Effects, and I'm putting together a project that consists of putting together a sequence of 3D renders (JPEGs) to create an animation. We also used clipping channels and some 3D passes. For each rendered sequence, we have the same amount of images, what changes is just the initial number in the file name, example:01.RGB_color.0000 to 0071, 01.Alpha.0001 to 0071 and so on, and in the next sequence, we have the same filenames, just changing to 02.RGB_color.0000, 02.Alpha.0000...The project with the files "01.xxx" is ready. My doubt is:Is it possible to automatically replace files starting with 01 in the project with files starting with 02 that are in another folder? And then change it to 03, 04, etc...The current project has a total of 1225 images.I will be grateful for any help and clarification

To start, I make sure frame rate of the imported video(s) matches composition settings.  Edits to videos when error occurs - Time Stretch and sometimes video will have mask. I believe the stretching (shortening) video creates the 17 :: 19 error? It has happened if the stretch factor is ANY whole# or decimal. Sometimes the error message repeatedly pops-up &  after closing error window error appears again & again. When this happens the ONLY option I have is to shut AE down. I am lookig for a possible cause to avoid this error as in can kill the open project or make the project very time consuming.

Hi,I'm a beginner to After Effect expressions. I'm creating a end creadit MOGRT for my team. There are total 16 text layers, named as "Title", "Name", Title 1" "Name 1" etc. and controled by 8 checkboxes, named as "Group 1", "Group 2" etc. two layers per checkbox. The vertical gap between "Title" layers and "Name"  layers should be 15 pixels, and 40 between groups. If one of the groups is unchecked the visible groups will move up. All the stacked visible groups should be vertically centred in the comp. I tested with 6 layers. Except to keep the gap remain as I asked for after adding multiple lines in "Name" layer, everything works well with the expression generated by Chatgpt.  I would be super grateful if someone could let me know which part has gone wrong in the below expression script, and how to fix it. The image on the left is the fulty result and on the right is what I would like to acheive.      // Fixed x positionx = 785; // Layer order (

Hi all,I've recently returned to After Effects and am having trouble viewing anything in my composition window. I've uploaded a screen grab of a short animation I did a while ago here, and you can see the preview of the project in the Project window, but I can't get anything to appear in the composition window. I thought it was just having the caps lock on, but that's not sorted it. I can't think of anything else, so wondering if anyone has any ideas?

While working on a wedding animation project in After Effects (version [insert version]), I encountered a major preview issue:The video file (ZDR59251.MP4) appears completely pixelated and discolored in the composition panel. This distortion persists even after clearing cache, adjusting render settings, and reimporting the footage. The timeline and linked layers are unaffected, but visual feedback in the viewport is unusable.What I tried:Cache PurgeChanging Preview ResolutionDisabling GPU AccelerationRe-importing footageCross-checking codecs and format compatibilitySuspected cause:Possible decoding error or preview rendering bug for MP4 files in this AE version. The original footage plays fine in external viewers (Premiere Pro and VLC), so it's not corrupt.Impact:This issue halts my ability to perform real-time animation adjustments and hampers productivity in critical delivery timelines.Request:Please investigate and provide a fix or workaround. A lot of editors working with hybrid we
