In the new AE2025 update, they removed the option for you to change the color of your After Effects panel. This is an important option for those of us who don't like the same old thing, and we like changes. I believe that we subscribers should flood them with messages to release this option that was so important.Let's flood them with messages, guys. Who knows, maybe in the next update they'll come back with the option to change the color of our After Effects. After all, we're paying an expensive subscription for this.

Since I switched to After Effects 2025 I can’t view my EXR HDR files properly when using Mercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA or OpenCL). As soon as GPU acceleration is on, everything caps at a max brightness of 100 and the highlights get totally clipped, whereas in Mercury Software Only (CPU) it works fine. In 2024 I could work in GPU mode no problem, but now I’m forced to stick to CPU.Also, when I’m using OCIO, AE only shows me one view transform option in the UI, so I can’t preview any specific look unless I drop in the “OCIO Look Transform” effect. It’s really important for an EXR workflow to be able to see the correct look while I work

I've been getting this quite a bit, (and my Sapphire plugins are just torturing After Effects. Constant crashes.) I have an NVidia RTX 3090.What's the recommended stable driver for AE 2025? How about 2024?

Hard to repeat but I have managed to crash my machine completely several times today by Alt+Tab toggling to a different app immediately after hitting Render.Which is a very normal thing to do.Latest AE, Windows etc.unfamiliar freelance work machine, maybe it is an old quadro thingHP Z4 i9 10900X Quadro RTX4000 32GB  RAMTris

Hello.  My after Effects has been crashing continuously for several months now, on not very big projects. I am lost. I have piles of ram/memory. Am up to date version wise.  I can't even have chrome/google open, or any other programmes/apps alongside. All my info is below:Is it my graphics card? plugins? memory?Memory: Graphics:   Storage: I use D drive which is SSD plugins/extensions: Many thanks in advance.... 

Hi. Are there any new developments/features that allow me to block C4D from being constantly installed? Please try to answer precisely. I am not interested in a thread regarding how great C4D is.  Thank you 

 This has been happening for years and I'm finally at the end of my line here. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to turn 'show layer controls' on twice an hour. I can't believe that I'm always hitting the hot key on accident. It's starting to drive me CrAZy!  Has there been a fix for this? 

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!!)
