After Effects

Hi guys,I want to write an effect plugin which can achieve that render result can exceed layer original size, in AfterEffects plugin, there is an effect called Motion Tile, the result from this effect can exceed layer size like image below, thanks!

Schönen guten Tag zusammen! Da wir unseren AfterEffects Workflow von sRGB auf ACES umstellen wollen, kam das Thema exr Rendern auf. Ein erster Test war sehr ernüchternd, ein schwarzes Bild 1920x1080, 32bit als exr ACES AP0 "rendern" dauerte je Bild 5-6 Sekunden (ca. 0,2 fps). Nach zahlreichen Tests änderten wir das Render Ziel auf ein lokales Laufwerk ab und hier konnten wir nahezu in Echtzeit renden - also 22-44 fps.Unsre IT Fachleute haben unterscheidliche Dinge an unseren Netzwerk Settings justiert, leider ohne Verbesserung der Problematik.Das selbe Projekt rendert als tif, uncompressed, 32bit mit ca.1,5 fps., was auch nicht toll ist, aber deutlich besser. Exr lesen und Performance in der Timeline sind sehr gut, auch ändert ein exr Input nichts an den Geschwindigkeiten. Das Prozedere haben wir mit unterschiedlichen alten Projekten und neu erstellten Projekten mit und ohne genutztem Footage / Schrift / Effekten etc. getestet.Alles kam zum selben Ergebnis. Wir habe

I've been using After Effects for years without any major issues, but the recent updates have only caused issues. I'm unable to preview a simple 2min timeline without After Effects sucking up all my memory, and prompting memory usage warnings. I have 32Gb of RAM installed, with a RTX 3060, which should be, and has been until recently, more than enough to smoothly run an AE project. Please provide fixes for this, because I'm not the only one having these issues.I have "Cache frames when idle" disabled, and every ten seconds I purge memory and disk cache. This is extremely annoying, and given the price of the product, completely unacceptable.

Yesterday, I was editing on my laptop. And the next day, after I opened the after effect, this is happened. Can someone help me to solve this? My laptop using Windows, NVIDIA GTX1650, RAM 16, Ryzen 5 4600. Thank you

How do I add a stroke to these boxes?   I was able to make two rectangles with shape layers-->pre-comping them-->Track matte with my designed foreground layer.  I was also able to make the mattes by merging the shape layers, but in both instances I was not able to create a white stroke around the boxes (the strokes I added became transparent).    Thank you 

Hello.. I installed some of presets but I am disturbed because ae always keep saying "Initializing animation presets" It takes too long. Is there a way to close that auto-load? Thank you for now!

I keep getting this error message for After Effects even though I have Cinema 4D installed and running. I've tried to put the C4DImporter.plugin file from the Maxon files into my After Effect files within applications. I've attached screenshots of both of these folder locations just to explain a little further what I mean. However this has still not resolved the issue. Does anyone please know how to fix this?

In AE 25 i found bug, which is appear at the moment you use compositing for effects on layers using masks. Then, when you add another effect to the chain, something happens and the mask for effect sometimes works like without effect compositing. Sometimes there is only one pixel column on alpha channel. I am ataching screenshot and project file. When you change curve (no matter which one), the pixel noise dissapear and if you will change the other curve, it appears back. Try to play with it..It is unreliable for now use compositing effects through mask on one layer in chain with other effects, I saw similar strange behavior for last few days..

Hello, I can't 'Save' or 'Save As' in After Effects. I've tried ctrl+s, ctrl+shift+s, and then nothing happens. In the Adobe After Effects Auto-Save, it isn't saving new versions of the file. When I save, it runs the function but doesn't actually do anything & won't create a new version of the file. The auto-saves are a day old now, since I haven't X'd out of the project, hence they're not updating there either. I've tried purging all memory & disk cache & it didn't work. I don't want to X out of the project to uninstall AE & reinstall because I'll lose a day of work.I've tried "save as copy" and it didn't do anything either. Thanks,

Hey, Whenever I add the CC Force Motion Blur effect to my clip in After Effects I get a pop-up message that says  "After effects error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators (17::18)" I click the OK button but the message instantly appears again making the program unusubale. I end up having the fully quit after effects to get rid of the message. I'm currently running version 22.2 (windows 11) and my footage is from a linked comp in Premiere Pro. Some clips were shot at 25fps and others at 50fps, the error occurs for both. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

How to change font size for menu's etc in AE 25.2 please, to make bigger and easier to read please?Had the option with previous  versions where could change in console/debug menu.Still surprised this option has not yet been included in Preferences really.

I'm trying to make an After Effects script for the first time. The idea is to basically randomize the fonts of the text layer by character or by word.I'm using Deepseek and ChatGPT to try to make it work cause i have few to none coding abillities and it almost works. The thing is that After Effects can't change the font os characters individually so the script needs to take the text from the text layer and create a new text layer for each character and then randomize the font of the new text layers. So I did that part and it works, but for it to work the way I want to it needs to change the font multiple times, then I would need a unique layer for each character and font type. Also did that part and it works, but when running everything together with a simple cut to simulate the font changing it stops working. ChatGPT said it should work with long sentences but it barely works with 2 character words. Can anyone help me?https://github.com/gariigolt/RandomFonts/blob/main/RandomFonts_v2.j

Hi I am trying to create a transition based on a multi colour grid. I would like to have the cells of the grid randomly animate either opacity or scale so that they create a transition between two images or pieces of footage.I have created the artwork in illustrator but would recreate this in AE if needed. Thanks

Lately my After Effects 25.2 has been lagging a lot and doesn't render project changes, like the project playing doesnt render. It has also been crashing a lot. I can't use it. I've cleared disk chache, got more RAM (currently 64 GB), editing on quarter quality and changing settings etc. Nothing works.

Hello. I am trying to dyamically return the color value of a text layer based on the color value of the layer underneath its position (which is a video). This is my expression. It is applied to the Source Text of the text layer. All I get is [0,0,0,0] no matter where the text layer is location within the composition. sampleImage(transform.position, radius = [8, 8], postEffect = true, t = time) It is this a bug or ... user error? Evan  

C'est plutôt une curiosité qu'un bug. Cela concerne l'ouverture d'un projet dans une version localisée et l'inverse. Normalement, lorsque l'on ouvre un projet dans une version localisée, les noms des effets s'adaptent à la langue utilisée. Par exemple, l'effet Noise devient Bruit, ou l'inverse.SAUF pour l'effet Dropdown Menu Control, qui conserve le nom de la version dans laquelle il a été créé. Ainsi, il conservera le nom Contrôle de menu déroulant s'il vient d'un projet utilisant la version française.Bizarre, non ?

It isn't letting me manually adjust the size by dragging the corners. How do I fix this ?

Is there any way to make a plugin move the pixels on the Z axis without simulating it via scaling? Like true 3D movement. For example, the simplest effect with 3 parameters "X", "Y" and "Z" which moves the layer left/right ; up/down AND forwards/backwards. Also, I am curious about this error, which is apparently coming from the Stream Suite (error 6) and I get it because my effect is trying to modify the layer position itself (not the pixels)?? Is that a thing? 

After effect error : File Couldn't be opened for writing I can't save my project , i need to save it 🙂 please help ! 

Hey guys, I've been constantly getting this error and it's becoming an issue and making after effects useless, even going as far as to crash my whole computer and make it unusable. Any idea what could be causing it? I've been clearing my cache, temporary files and have even gone to reinstall creative cloud but I still can't shift this error. Computer Specs:Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHzInstalled: RAM 64.0 GBGeForce RTX 2060 Super Can provide more on the issue if needed, thanks!  

Hi there, I have a 3D camera that's moving forward and it has a rollercoaster-like movement, it goes up, down and rotates and does all sort of things. I'm trying to visualize its motion path, kind of like the camera following a trail, and this trail needs to bend anticipating the camera motion. I've tried with a regular shape layer stroke with the script "nulls from paths" and Trapcode 3D stroke but I can't seem to make them work. I think the easiest way to explain it is that I'd like to make visible the position path of the camera. Thanks in advance.
