After Effects

the program crash my tablet and after effects as well at the same time I have to reset the pc in order to keep working it does it randomly when ever I click on a value on the left side panel ( effect controls) it does not really matter what effect I'm using. 

This is a new issue between 2024 and 2025 — when I copy from premiere timeline and paste into after effects it is encasing every clip copied into individual precomps. I want to keep files as native as possible between the two program's timelines. Is there a way to turn off this aut-enveloping of pasted files? (I would love to ask an adobe tech support person if this is a new intended behavior... and if so please don't. but since adobe has hidden all of their methods for contacting support — pushing all of us into this virtual lord of the flies system... i'm not holding my breath)

Dynamic Link between After Effects (25.1) and Premiere (25.1) is broken. I used to be able to drag an AE comp directly into the Premiere project panel to create the link—but now it does nothing. I can create the dynamic link in Premiere using File -> Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import After Effects Composition, but then anytime I make an edit to the comp in After Effects it goes Media Offline in Premiere. I've tried deleting Disk Cache for both programs, and restarting programs and computer. This is an integral part of my workflow and is really slowing me down right now. Please help. Computer specs:Apple MacBook Pro M3 MAX48GB MemorySequoia 15.3 OS

TL;DR After Effects is causing my external cloud drive to download all the files from the server at once, and I need to know why. I'm having a bit of a niche -- but serious -- issue that I need help with. My job uses a cloud service called Box Drive, which is a lot like Google drive or Dropbox. The drive is installed on my system and located on my operating system, so although all its files are on the cloud, from any software's perspective, they are just files that are located on my local drive. Box Drive will automatically download the files whenever a software requests access to them. The problem: I've been using Box with After Effects successfully for years, but this month, an issue started where everytime I open AE, Box attempts to download all files from the cloud at once (hundreds of terabytes worth of files), resulting in freezes, errors, and an unusable machine. This kind of problem can occur when some software is "scanning" the files, for example, if an antimalw

When trying to navigate within the VR comp editor using the orbit tool, it throws this error.  I can navigate by changing the rotation on the VR Master Cam Controller null, but not the orbit tool.  The footage I'm using is 7680x4320, and I'm on an iMac Retina 27-inch 2019 machine.  Any help is greatly apprecaited, as there seems to be next to no information regarding this error when searching both Adobe support threads and the internet in general.

Hey does anyone those how can I recreate this holographic sun-ray effect around my subject in After Effects?I'm working on an edit where I want an iridescent, holographic glow to radiate outward like sun rays but only around the subject, not affecting them directly. I found Chromawarp in Sapphire and played with Warp Amp & Frequency, but I'm struggling to refine the effect so it smoothly surrounds my subject without looking too distorted. maybe I should use displacement maps or radial blurs to achieve that fluid holographic light refraction? I remember seeing this effect and loving it, and l've noticed it appearing more in edits recently. I'd love to achieve it on my own, so if anyone has any tips or guidance, l'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

After Effects worked fine in the gratis test phase.Now I have bought the Adobe CC Pack.All the other creative cloud apps are working fine (Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, ...) but After Effects is crashing on every startup.Here is my crash Report:<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="1.6.2" clientVersion="1.6.2" applicationName="After Effects" applicationVersion="15.0.1" build="73"><time year="2018" month="3" day="4" hour="11" minute="58" second="58"/><user guid="bc6cd8d5-0fe5-4cc3-8e0b-11a770ab01c2"/><system platform="Windows 10 Pro" osversion="10.0" osbuild="16299" applicationlanguage="en-us" userlanguage="da-DK" oslanguage="de-DE" ram="16265" machine="Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz" model="Intel64 Family 6 Model 78 Stepping 3" cpuCount="4" cpuType="8664" cpuFreq="2400 MHz"/><crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" instruction="0x00007FFDC6ACFF79"><

My after effects was perfectly running fine yesterday. Today, one of my projects that I was working on crashed it and now the whole AE is not starting. I updated the graphic drivers to the latest, updated windows 10 and also made sure the  AE is also updated.  I even uninstalled all of CC apps and CC and used the Adobe clean up and re installed it and still not working. I tried ALT+SHIFT+CTRL on launch and reset preferences, still the same.  The crash report mentions the below.  Process: AfterFX.exe [21640]Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files\AfterFX.exeProduct Version: 17.1.1.34File Version: 17.1.1.34Code Type: x64Parent Process: Adobe Desktop Service.exe [10720]Date/Time: 2020-08-23 00:35:14 AUS Eastern Standard TimeOS Version: 10.0.19041.292Report ID: Time Awake Since Boot: 1765 secondsCrashed thread: 16 [4944] THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMALException Code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONException Parameters: User-Mo

Whenever I place the effect on the text from the animation presets, the effects never appear in the effects control. It's Decrease tracking or all of them non of them show up

Hello, I have a bug when loading a mogrt into Prem. I've attached the image below. I have the version of After Effects that it asks for, so I am not sure why it is not working. I have shared with other people in my organisation, without luck. I was previously having C4D renderer issues, which I fixed by going through all the comps and making sure that they have everything reverted to the default 3D renderer.My mogrt has 2 Universe plugins, which both work in Premiere.  I have cleared my cache, re-exported and like I mentioned I changed all the renderers. The MOGRT export is quite small, but has a lot of controls. This has not be a problem in past. I recently had my machine upgraded, and it has caused a number of issues, especially with dynamic links between projects (This project in particular will no longer connect to AME). I can test that out to see if that is the issue. Any other ideas about why this isnt working would be good to know.&nb

Lots of AE users have little, maybe-ideas and even AE trainers with 10 years of experience have issues in this area. It's like a dark Freemason secret.  🙂This tutorial provides insights into this area and shows how they work with different layer types.https://youtu.be/QsiaiIn93yM

Hallo zusammen,ich habe ein kniffliges Problem mit einer MOGRT-Datei, die ich in After Effects erstellt habe und in Premiere Pro verwende. In After Effects habe ich ein Textfeld mit dem Textwerkzeug aufgezogen (Absatztext), um eine feste Breite für meinen Text zu definieren. Der Text soll innerhalb dieses Feldes automatisch auf 2-3 Zeilen umbrechen.Das Problem ist, dass der Text in Premiere Pro immer einzeilig bleibt und die definierte Breite des Textfelds scheinbar ignoriert wird. Der Text läuft horizontal über den Balken / Textbox hinaus. Was ich bereits versucht habeSichergestellt, dass die Textebene in After Effects ein Absatztext ist (durch Ziehen des Textfelds erstellt).In den "Essential Graphics" in AE nur die "Quelle Text"-Eigenschaft exportiert. Keine Positions- oder Skalierungseigenschaften der Textebene.Überprüft, dass keine Masken oder Effekte in AE das Textverhalten beeinflussen.Die MOGRT in Premiere Pro neu verknüpft und den Cache geleert. Hat jemand von eu

Hello everyone,Since the 2025 update I have the problem that the preview flickers extremely. This is extremely annoying and I have already tried various things to fix the problem (reinstalling, adjusting settings to my rather weak PC, and so on).I have not installed any plug-ins andis running version 25.2.2My PC:Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165U 1.70 GHz16 GB RAMWindows 11 Enterprise Unfortunately I have no idea how to reproduce the problem.Do you have any ideas where the problem could be coming from?

I was working on a project and all the bars in my timeline disappeared. Does anyone kow can I get them back? I only have 7 layers. 

I put together an animated text composition that I would like to add to the beginning of one of my premier projects. When trying to render I keep getting an error that the directory originally selected in the output module no longer exists. I tried windows media, animated gif, NTSC, custom, etc. and nothing works. What is wrong with this?

I'm using a expression that locks scale of layer even when scaling the parent.I need to lock only scale the Y axis. Can someone help?L = thisLayer;s = transform.scale.value;while (L.hasParent){L = L.parent;for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++) s[1,i] *= 50/L.transform.scale.value[1,i]}s

Hi, I'm applying Dan Ebbert's values from his tutorial to use SeedRandom here below.I applied it to an amount of dots forming a letter.The random movement of each dot is perfect, but I want to control time and make it stop to the initial position (letter formed by dots).Also interested to start from the letter formed, to a SeedRandom movement, than back to initial position.Any clues to get it?Thanks a lot for your helpsegMin = .3; //minimum segment duration segMax = .7; //maximum segment duration minVal = 0; maxVal = thisComp.width; end = 0; j = 0; while ( time >= end){ j += 1; seedRandom(j,true); start = end; end += random(segMin,segMax); } endVal = random(minVal,maxVal); seedRandom(j-1,true); dummy=random(); //this is a throw-away value startVal = random(minVal,maxVal); y = position[1]; ease(time,start,end,[startVal,y],[endVal,y])  

Hi community.  I have used the repeater to animate lines in a circular direction. The issue Im facing is getting an even number of rotation for the lines. Is it even correct in AE using decimals to achieve accurate rotation and positioning? for example, 34.3, or 34.5 etc etc. Or for multimedia online graphics the pixels must always default to a rounded off number, example: 34. 35, 56, etc etc.   

Hi,I have bought a new PC and installed After Effects 2025 on it, but the problem is that when I make any changes that need preview, the preview window starts blinking. sorry this is the best way I can describe it. I also record a video that shows what is happening.my PC information:CPU and GPU: intel i5 13400RAM: 32GBSSD: Lexar 1TBWindows 11After Effects 25.1.0 (Build 68)I tested reinstalling and restarting Windows and After Effects but nothing changed.thanks

when i add the effect Deep Glow, i get the error message D returned invalid from max_result_rect pf_cmd_smart_pre_render.i have searched the internet for a solution and none of them work. disabling other effects, adding color balance (hsl), clearing the disk cache. none of it worked.i only applied the effect to one layer at the start of the project, but it wont let me preview the project at any time stamp.after searching for a solution, i have found that other people are getting this issue, but with other effects. so this must mean that theres no issue with the plugin.

Can anyone explain why a small company like Blackmagic have full support for 5000 series GPUs, and Adobe take months and months to optimise or support the cards? We have to buy new machines and they are now shipping with 5000 series cards. The performance in AE and Premiere are shocking...

When copying and pasting keyframes in After Effects, for some layers the pasted keyframes appear stretched or out of sync with the original timing. Steps to reproduce the bug:Create an animation with keyframes on a layer.Select the keyframes and copy them (Ctrl+C).Move the playhead to a new position on the timeline, select a different layer, and paste the keyframes (Ctrl+V).Observe that the pasted keyframes are stretched or spaced differently from the original keyframes. Expected result:The pasted keyframes should retain the exact timing and spacing as the original keyframes.Actual result:The keyframes are stretched, altering the animation timing. Additional information:The issue only occurs on some compositions.The issue only occurs when copying keyframes from one layer to another. System details:After Effects version: 24.6.1 (Build 2)Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 22H2Hardware: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.60 GHz, 16.0 GB (13.9 GB

My AE project has missing files, but when I search for "missing" in the project panel, nothing comes up. This issue has been ongoing for a couple of weeks now. Maybe related to latest update. After Effects Version 25.2.2. (Build 2)macOS  14.7.5 (23H527) 🦆

 I saw this effect inside after effect tutorial page. But cant find any tutorial on how to do this effect. Anyone can teach me how to do it?

my pc configuration is amd ryzen 5 4600g, I don't have a video card, 16 gigabytes of ddr4 ram, 1tb of storage.   My after effects freezes when I open the graph editor in a precomp.
