After Effects

I have just bought a brand new MICROSOFT 14" Surface Pro OLED, Copilot+ PC - Snapdragon X Elite ideapad I am trying to download after effects, however, it will not install.  On my creative cloud, it only shows the online beta version (which is not what I want). When I use the browser to download the app, it downloads the set up file.  After double clicking on the set up file (+ trying run as administrator), it just opens my creative cloud again but doesn't install. what can I do?  

Please download the video so you can understand it very easily. Then, please tell me the reason and resolve it.

Where can i install a 23.x version of after effects, i need to install it bc my installed plugin says its not compatible with my M3 mac, only with intel mac. 

Hi there, I'm developing a simple tool for After Effects that feeds a multi line textbox with some log of the entire process. This same log can also be exported in a separate txt file later.Is it possible to use different color lines on a multi line text box? My idea is using like red for errors, gray for info and green for success, for example. I tried many times and I'm not coming up with anything. Almost sure it is impossible, but I wanted to hear from you wizards here 🙂 Thanks in advance.

hi, this is my first time downloading and using a shake preset pack and i'm having some issues when it comes to the clips. whenever i apply a shake preset (vertical, horizontal, rotational) you name it, it always repositions my clip so the only way i can use the shake is to re-edit the entire preset to actually be centered in the clip. the shakes themselves work fine, but they're in between motion tiles where the clip is barely being shown. for example, here in this clip i put on a rotation shake and the shake is happening between motion tiles. i followed all of the requirements needed to use the shake, like the fact that the shake only works in 1280 x 720. i have that. but idk why this is happening. in after effects cc 2019 the centered position is 640 x 360. and idk why this is happening. if additional screenshots are needed and more information i'd be happy to provide.

Hello!! My bounding box has suddenly disappeared. This has happened for all my layers. The handles are always visible, and the box is visible once I drag it outside the preview window. But, even when it's outside the preview window, the box doesn't do its job. It's kind of as if it's just there for show, and only the handles work. My layer controls are activated on both the comp and the view tab. I've tried restarting it, and it did nothing. Below are some screenshots! Any help is appreciated. I'm working in quite an old version (AE 2020), so if it's simply a glitch because it's out of date, then that's fine.

"Advanced 3D is not supported by the current hardware" error when starting up AE Beta 24.3 (Build 14). I'm on Windows 10 with the latest Nvidia Studio Drivers 551.23 on An AMD Threadripper System.

Hello I have a problem with my after effect when I preview the timeline it won't go any further than five image after I have to spam the space bar to get the preview bar going further. And when I stop I have the message 'low memory warning ram as being extended for previews adjust RAM sitting in preference". I try all all the solution that I found on internet, add more rAM indeed in the preference menu, empty the cache section.PC : labtop Nitro ANV15-41CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHzRAM : 16,0 GoGPU : 4060Version of after effect : 25,1

Hello comunity, I'm having this really odd trouble with an Macbook Pro 16" 2020: as you can see in this ClearMyMac print below, AE 2025 and 2024 is taking really more from CPU than it should. This laptop has an AMD radeon dedicated GPU, but AE is not using it significantly, at least to not heat up to 78°C Any idea of what can be causing this?  

IssueSince version 2025, when it comes time to add my compositions to the Render Queue (CTRL+M), it takes a long time before they are added. This was never a problem before. It was done instantly. I am doing the test on a local disk, so it is not a network slowness problem. I do the same operation with version 2024 which is still installed on my computer and I do not have this problem. I did a test: add 100 compositions to the Render Queue.     v2025=3min 22 sec    v2024=instantlyAdobe After Effects version number 25.1.0(Build 68)Operating system  Windows 10 Pro 22H2Steps to reproduce - CTRL+M Expected result - Selected comps added to Render Queue instantlyActual result -  Long wait for that to happend  

Hey everyone,I’m trying to animate 3D text from Illustrator in After Effects, but it’s invisible. I can move the layer, but I can’t see it. I also got a warning: “Advanced 3D is not supported by the current hardware.”I’m new to this so I’m still learning !I’m on a 2018 MacBook Air (do not come after me!)• ⁠1.6 GHz Dual-Core i5 • ⁠Intel UHD Graphics 617 • ⁠8GB RAMIs this a hardware limitation? Do I need a plugin like Element 3D, or should I just rasterize the text and animate it in 2D?Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, Im working on an animated sequence where I have a boat race, with 8 rowers per boat. In illustrator i have designed the charcters with their limbs on seperate layers. Is there a way I can create the rowing motion once, and apply that to all the charcters? Im also going to swap out different mouths to show the charcters breathing in and out as part of the action along with blinks at intervals.  I'd usually just key frame all the movements for all the limbs in After effects and work like that to achieve the motion I want, but just thought id see if theres an easier way. Thank you.

Hello all, Just though I would write a post to help those of you struggling with making text reveals in After Effects.I myself have struggled with this and spent time researching the easiest way in which to do it. This video (below) is the most comprehensive and easy to follow video I have found to make this effect work, and I hope it helps many beginners like myself too:Text and Logo Behind Mask Reveal - After Effects Tutorial - YouTube Have a good day!

So if the max comp size is 30k by 30k does that mean 30k is the maximum number of pixels in one axis? Or would something like 50k by 3k be possible if RAM is not the limitation?

Hello, I'm currently working on an animation project, and I have to make the same effect as shown in the video.Can somebody tell me how I can achieve this?

Hey,I'm doing a simple 16-second motion graphics piece and I'm pressing the space bar to preview. When it gets to the end of my work area, it moves the playback head back to the beginning and continues playing. I have the loop button set to play once in the preview pane. This button doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.Is there something I'm missing?The green cache line for RAM preview is covering the entire work area so it's not that.Thanks!Scot

Is there a way to apply an expression to the shape of a box text?I’m not looking to create a text box, but rather a box text.I understand that with a script, it is possible to modify it via textDocument, but I would like to use animation here.

Hello I am completely new to using Adobe After Effects, so I apologize in advance for potentially not using the correct terminology. I purchased and downloaded this template: https://motionarray.com/after-effects-templates/magic-book-slideshow-251937/ I am creating my own art book and this template is perfect.  Following the video instructions by Motionarray, I was able to upload my images to all of the pages and make some changes. However, I am coming across issues with making further alterations to the various effects. Also, for some reason the image for the cover of the book is upside down and I don't know how to rotate it correctly.  Can anyone offer some advice and tips on how to make changes to a template? I would like to change/edit the following things:1. Rotate the cover image 180 degrees2. Change the book edge color3. Change the hue of the lighting on the left side as it is very yellow4. Remove the gold corner embellishments that s
