After Effects

When I add Linear Wipe, it wipes with the same color as background. Can I change that?

AfterEffects SOS!I am having the weirdest issue with layers randomly becoming transparent in AfterEffects.The layers are originally created in Illustrator and imported into AfterEffects. They have no opacity settings on them.All the layers have no transparency effects on them in AfterEffects.The file and layers have 3D camera effects (X axis) on them - this may have something to do with it.Sometimes when I open the file, it's restored. Other times, the layers come out semi-transparent.I cleared out the cache and memory and that seemed to work once. But now it no longer fixes the issue.I'm completely stumped. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a bug in AfterEffects.I have attached pictures of what it SHOULD look like, what it's coming out like and the layers/settings. You can see the 'Ring' 'Ring' and the phone is semi-transparent, but the rest of the scene is not. All elements have been imported from the same Illustrator file.

It shows this message and doesnt open:  Last log message was: SonyRawDecoder Found compatible GPU device for SonyRaw decode support..  Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.

I've used AE just once to animate a graphic for this promo eleven years ago.  After getting frustrated trying to persuade Photoshop to do what I want with a video timeline, I have bitten the bullet, and decided to get even more frustrated with AE.   This is for the SFTW threads that we run on the Photoshop forum.     My idea is to make a kaleidoscope using four layers of the same still image with two of them mirrored, and mask the relevant quadrant of each layer.  My problem is that I can't get the mask to stay still while I rotate the image behind it.  Google mentioned the Pan Behind Anchor Point tool, but I I need to rotate rather than pan, and I'm not getting it anyway.   It must be doable. Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.   BTW All are welcome to the SFTW threads, but I'm thinking that if you guys joined in, us Photoshop types would give up and go home.

Hi, guys. Please help me out, I've been struggling with this glitch on my rendered footage. It is a 1 second H.264 4K footage. I used Rotoscope 3.0. And I did rotoscope frame by frame and freeze it before the render. The frame rate is 59.94. I made sure the frame rate is matched with the original footage when I render. The render is fine when I use only roto brush, however, When I use the fine tuning edge brush on my footage, even though the preview in the composition looks fine, but after I render it, it appears to have glitches on some of the frames. I tried render as Tiff Sequence RGB+Alpha, Quick Time RGB+Alpha. It always gives me glitches.Here is screen shot of the glitch I got: 

I've been working with a client that would like me to recreate this design element with the sonar effect into their promotional video. Does anyone know how I may be able to achieve something similar? Is this effect built in AE or is it an image that was brought in and then manipulated with keyframes? I am a beginer user of After Effects so any way I can create in a simple way would be great. Thank you! 

So I am excperiencing a problem where I send say 2 clips to after effects via dynamic link and an extra frame is added to both.I think it may have something to do with how both programs do cuts differently. Im not sureAnd this would not normally be a problem if the frame before is the same camera angle, but since both clips are cut right next to a change in camera angle in PP the different camera angle shows up as a frame in AE.  What I want is to be able to send the exact clips frame by frame from PP to AE. This problem just makes everything so much time consuming since i manually have to go over everything and make it apply to what was originally in PP. V25.3 for both programsI dropped a video showcasing the problem.  

Hi, I'm trying to test out the beta on my desktop. The plugin ran well on my laptop, however on my desktop I've installed, re-installed it, and tried opening the plugin in AE 2021 and AE 2022 but nothing happens when I click on it.I wanted to flag the issue and hopefully figure out why it would be doing this. Also I was wondering if you could give a general idea of how the pricing will work for this plugin once it has been fully released. Cheers!

Brand new laptop, erazer beast 16 x1 ultimate with ultra i9 processor and RTX 5080 GPU - solid piece of kit with great spec but AE just won't cooperate. I've uninstalled and reinstalled AE several times, I've tried BETA version also. I've disabled hardware acceleration, cleared cache over and over. Checked Audio settings, updated drivers GPU, tried game and studio. I've reset my laptop thats 2 days old back to factory 3 times. Stupid AE just won't act normally for more than 5 minutes, I can still click around and switch between assets but the preview panel just stays the same, stuck on whatever last frame it was on before freezing up. It's been 2 days of total wasted work time and I am at my wits end. EVERY OTHER PROGRAM WORKS FINE! PLEASE HELP 

I have been having a problem running Blender and Adobe apps in the same laptop. Adobe software will only works when I use the microsoft adapter player, while Blender only want the NVIDIA one. I can keep alternating between them, but my After Effect started lagging when I tried to use them with the microsoft adapter. I want to change it into NVIDIA but the black screen preview happened instead. Is there anyone with the same issue?My driver is already updated to the latest one, I cannot keep alternating between both driver because it also messed up with my other video editing program. Please help me. Only the audio started playing while the video wont.

Hello,I'm currently using version 25.1.0. But recently, I've been occasionally seeing the "Crash Repair Options" alert when restarting After Effects. I’ve also tried updating my graphics card, but it didn’t resolve the issue. When I click "Continue," I can use the program without any issues, and all settings remain unchanged.If there’s no definitive fix for the alert, would it be all right to just click “Continue” each time it appears and keep working?

Hello everyone! I just downloaded a phone comp (screenshot attached) from adobestock thinking the luma matte would have been included (no such luck).. Does anyone know how to create a luma matte from an .mov? I obviously want the phone to be on another background. Part two of this... how am I to have any screen animation track the phone? I guess I figured this would have been a layerd .AE file I could have edited in AE... Any help is very much apperciated. 

With the new "smooth" magnification introduced it completely breaks when switching to the layer window, and the roto brush tool is either just selected and or the roto brush effect is applied.Also, magnification is not smooth on WindowsSteps to reproduce:Select roto brush => click on footage to go into the layer => scroll with mouse.And it's even worse when you start drawing on the layer to roto.. Magnification is completely glitchy / jittery / stutterySwitching from Smooth to legacy kinda makes things better, but magnification takes a whole second to update..

https://youtu.be/vE3cGbd5AsEWhile I'm keyframing, the layer will deselect I use the the Selection Tool. It ruins my workflow because I have to manually reselect it again before continue keyframing, other wise it won't do

Do any of you know how to fix this. I've been editing with this method for years and this is the second time I've faced this issue. I was using 2025 version fine and as soon as I update, I can't import XMLs anymore.

I recently updated my after effects and adobe media encoder to 2025. Now everytime i try to render a video through media encoder it says "Adobe Media Encoder 2025" is damaged and can't be opened.You should move it to the Trash.This file was downloaded on an unknown date.I'm on a m1 macbook pro and use these programs regularly for work. I tried to install the previous version of media encoder and get the same issue. I don't understad what could be causing this issue. and am struggling to find other people experiencing this online.
