After Effects

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..

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.

So I just built a new PC, here are the specs:RTX 5090 32GBintel ultra core 9 Asus proart z890 MBrunning windows 11192 GB RAM4 separate 1TB internal Samsung 990 pro SSDs (totalling 4TB, all formatted NTFS)AE pugetbench checks with scores above 16000 when everything is run from C:drive, ran read/write speed checks on drives, all fine, cooling and cinebench all fine.I downloaded dropbox to my secondary internal drive(Y: drive) and run into a problem when I open a file and try to save/render/import footage files from dropbox, it freezes the ram preview (still image, solid green bar, no refresh) after seeming ok for a couple minutes after those actions take place. After the preview freezes, a couple minutes later the whole program locks up and sometimes won't even allow a force quit. Things I've tried but didn't work:Moving dropbox to the main C: drive where the OS and programs areTurning off hardware aceleration AND multiframe renderingreinstalling the GPU drivers from scratch and ens

So im trying to create 3D shape layers using advanced 3D. But everytime I switch from classic 3D to advanced 3D my shape layer becomes invisible. But when I switch back to Classic 3D or Cinema 4D it becomes visible again. I've been trying to look for solutions but cant find one. How can I fix this advanced 3D issue?

I can't open After Effects anymore. I keep getting an STD::EXCEPTION error and then the posted error.  I've copied the crash log below:Log file created: Fri May 2 19:18:48 2025-------------------------------------------Ticks = 1 <24133> <AppVers> <5> App Version = 25.2.2x2 releaseTicks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5> App Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Adobe After Effects 2025.app/ContentsTicks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5> Executable Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Adobe After Effects 2025.app/Contents/MacOSTicks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5> Resources Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Adobe After Effects 2025.app/Contents/ResourcesTicks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5> Package Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025Ticks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5> Plugin Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Plug-InsTicks = 1 <24133> <AppDirs> <5&g

I've found a bug in the expressions which breaks some functionnalities in Duik (so it's a big problem and I can't find any workaround)The value of `layer.outPoint` is not updated when the layer is a precomp which has been trimmed 1. Create a long comp "A", let's say 10s2. Add it into another comp, "B"3. Add an expression to any property using the layer "A" outPoint, just throw the value or display it on a text layer for example. I used this in the sourceText property: var l = thisComp.layer("A"); "Layer outPoint: " + l.outPoint;4. Trim or change the duration of precomp "A"The value of the outPoint should change, but it does not5. Edit the outPoint of the layer "A" (cut it), now the value of the outPoint is updated and it's the right one. Here's a GIF to show the issue  I have attached the project, as it is just after having trimmed the precomp, with the wrong value shown in the text layer. I've searched a workaround but found nothing, the issue persists af

For some reason after effects is causing a few of my clips to  become corrupted despite the original source being fine (image attached). This issue then carries on through to the render and i have no idea why. Can anyone help, many thanks.

I'm trying to refine a mask on a difficult footage, but now the mask is having a weird behaviour while working on it. Suddenly some keyframes of the mask turned black, while others flips the image. I tried modifying the keyframe a little bit by moving mask point one pixel and then it "updates" and "refresh", but then other keyframes started to do the same.  Working on latest After Effects, under:NVIDIA system information report created on: 06/18/2025 13:01:31NVIDIA App version: 11.0.4.148Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language, Version 10.0.26100DirectX runtime version: DirectX 12Driver: Studio Driver - 576.52 - Mon May 19, 2025CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620HRAM: 16.0 GBStorage (2): SSD - 953.9 GB,SSD - 3.6 TBGraphics cardGPU processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPUDirect3D feature level: 12_1CUDA cores: 3072Graphics clock: 2250 MHzMax-Q technologies: Gen-5Dynamic Boost: YesWhisperMode: NoAdvanced Optimus: NoMaximum graphics power: 120 WMemo

I can't find my previous post, maybe it was deleted?I have reported problems with deactivating an old CS6 license and have already tried everything possible. it seems to be because it no longer works with Win 7.So would an upgrade to Win 8 be a solution or would it have to be 8.1?The whole thing is strange, because there must be a solution if the PC breaks down, right?
