After Effects

Experiencing some serious UI performance issues after updated to 25.1 this morning. Reverting back to 25.0.1 seems to work fine. See video for example. Computer specs:Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)AMD Radeon RX 6800 XTInstalled Physical Memory (RAM) 64.0 GB

I am using the slider tool to blur a set of numbers up from 0 to 2.9. Initially, I had the issue that the numbers entered had four decimal places  (ex. 2.1253 ) I only needed one decimal place. I found this expression to round up.Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))Unfortunatey, this shows no decimal places and I need to just show one decimal place but cannot find an expression online that is word for word the expression I need.Basically I need to go to the tenth decimal place. so from 0 to 2.9, does anyone know the exact expression for this?

I have a 3D scan (human figure) OBJ file, and I have uploaded to AE/4D cinema to edit out backgrounds bits.  I want to save as an OBJ so I can upload to Mixamo. I cannot see how to do this. 

Hello.I have a short film teaser I want to film, and in one of the scenes, a girl speaks directly to the camera while images appear on wall right beside her, as if coming from a movie projector.What techniques do I use to achieve this effect, being sort of a beginner in After Effects (who is willing to learn much more)?I've tried looking for an answer for my specific question and I couldn't find it. Thanks in advance,J. Felipe.

I'm getting a warning when launching AE regarding MediaCore.  It's asking me to reinstall the following two plugins... NotchLCPremierePlugin.bundleNotchLCAfterEffectsPlugin.bundle After closing that window, another error message appears stating "Couldn't find main entry point for NotchLCAfterEffectsPlugin.bundle ( 48 :: 72 )".  I uninstalled/reinstalled AE, but this didn't fix the issue.  A month ago I tried to install an old copy of Film Impact plugins for PPro, but my old copy no longer works so I had to remove that.  I feel that might have caused this issue.  I'm not sure how to go about reinstalling these MediaCore plugins.  If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it.  Thank you!  Pics attached for reference. 

ok i am so fascinated by godzilla movies. I know i require after effects for this but do i require any other adobe software for this to create  my own unique character and animate it and what about their voices?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2pYosKhK6M 

Using the most up to date version of After effects. Anytime I go to use the Brush tool, and Paint in my Selected layer, and Making sure I double click It and everything  The Brush seems to leave much lag behind my pen and leaves very inconsistent and buggy straight strokes, when trying to attempt to make smooth curves. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks  

Is there any freaking way in AE to bring in footage (multichannel EXRs) with alpha, then IGNORE the alpha for compositing purposes? I've been looking for this solution for years. I want to be able to bring in my footage ONCE, then composite WITHOUT ALPHA, but still have the alpha available for final stenciling. This just does not seem possible in AE. When extracting channels from the EXRs with the Extractor effect there is an "unmult" checkbox, but it does not remove the alpha. Presumably it unmults the edge pixels with the import color that's set in the interpret footage menu. But, even with this unchecked, comps STILL result in unwanted alpha stacking on edge pixels. So, the ONLY solution I've come up with is to import all my sequences twice, once with alpha ignored (for comping) and once with it premultiplied. The second one is only used as an alpha stencil where appropriate in my comp flow. This is incredibly hacky and inconvenient, especially when dealing with

Hi there! To make it short, the Adobe contact center has remoted my machine for 2 days and has applied all possible solutions and workaround to resolve the said issue but no luck! and after a couple of trials, they asked me to create a new local account on my windows 11 OS .. and the issue was resolved with that new account! the question is how to fix the problem on my account without creating new windows local account? NOTE: I am sure the problem is from my windows profile but not sure where!  My PC information:GPU: NVIDIA Quadro M5000 |  Driver Version 31.0.15.3141 | Driver date: 3/16/2023RAM: 128 GBAfter Effect Version: 23.3.0 ( Build 53 )  Thank you 

Problem: I attempted to open an older project, using Element 3d, in AE 2025 and got an error message that the plugin was "Missing".  Solution: First make sure you have the plugin installed. Do a reinstall with latest version if necessary.Then create a new project and IMPORT the older project. That's it. Worked for me.  Hope this helps someone out there.

When I press play in my timeline, it plays only the rendered part and starts looping it. This has never happened before so I have no idea why is this happening.Also, when I leave the playhead and don't play the video at all, it doesn't render... Normally it would render when inactive...Can anyone help me?

After Effects versão 24? meu pc não suporta o 25.

Is there a way to get rid of this weird halo that appears when I use Lens Blur Filter with a Depth Map?The sharp areas should be in focus at the edges, but they show a strange halo, like if I'm using a fog lens.Even if the Z map has a good contrast between dark an white areas, the halo appears at the edges as if the subject was out if focus.

I am getting this error with multiframe rendering enabled. Renders fine with multiframe disabled. Never has happened to me prior to 25.2.2.    I'm on Windows 11 (24H2)Nvidia 3080ti (latest studio driver 572.83)Intel i9-12900K 

Saludos, intento abrir After Effects pero me aparece este aviso: Alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo?Mac mini M1 - Mac Os Sonoma 14.6.1

Hey! I was working on a project and used two shape layers with gaussian blur to serve as lights on my composition. When they're 2D, it works normally, but once I enable 3D mode they turn really Dark. I'm using Classic 3D renderer and none of the layers have any blending mode enabled. I also tried to deactivate the "Accept Lights/Accept Shadows" option, but it didn't work either.Can you help me? I'm attaching pictures of how the layers look like before enabling the 3D mode and after. 

After efects craching during work how can i solve that issue 

I was trying to animate a Google earth studio map with city names with shadows on it. Thus I discovered that After Effects 24.6.1 doesn't have cast shadows if the renderer is Advanced 3D. Am I wrong with the settings somewhere or in the Advanced 3D shadows are not cast at all?See an example in the video. Only the classic 3D works. And the Classic 3D would have been fine but for it missing extrusions for layers, which I need and only the Advanced 3D does them

Hi, I am currently trying to work on a project within After Effects. We are required to add transitions, and I am new to doing so on this program. I am trying to transition from clip to clip, but seem to be unable to do so as my "clip" consists of multiple layers. I have attached a photo below. What should I do to go about this? Any suggestions? Thanks! Anything will help.

Hi community. When I make a line using the pen too, on both edges there's semi transparent pixel. how can I make the edges to be sharp when ever I make a line, if its possible to not have an half pixels projecting from the main shape? I'm always moving the shapes up down, left and right to try get it pixel perfect.Thank you.     

 I tried to put it in the Plug-ins file; it does not appear in After Effects. I tried to put it from Adobe Bridge; it doesn't work. When I double-click it, this error appears.Do you know how I can fix this?

Hi I am having an issue on Mac Sequoia 15.1 with After Effects 25.1.0 where After Effects hangs or crashes when importing certain movie files with .mov extension containing h.264 video.  It seems like a workaround is to rename the file with .mp4 extension, and then after effects behaves normally.  However, if I try to open a project saved on another computer which contains these problematic files (or saved in the past on the problem computer), the project will not fully open and I have no way of determining which movie file is causing the problem.  I have tried clearing database and cache, opening in safe mode, and disabling all third party plugins.  None of these actions solves the issue.  I have tried opening in older versions of After Effects on the same computer, and I get the same problematic result.  Is there a way to determine whether there is a codec or something installed somewhere on Mac that might be causing After Effects to be unable to im

Everytime I start After Effects it brings up this error. These are plugins I dont use any more and are not installed on my machine. How do I get after effects to stop showing me this error message?

Since the last update, when I have multiple unlinked files(footage and images), when I replace footage on one item, After Effects still finding the other unlinked video files but no the images, so I have to relink the images one by one. The names of the images are the same and are placed in a equal folder structure as the old loaded files. Is this a bug or I can fix it with some setting?

Hello ! I recently made a 3D Object that i wanted to import in AE (beta 24.0, that supports obj and glb files). I imported a glb and an obj file to test which one works, and when i import the 3D object into the scene, i can't see the object, it's selected, but invisible. I imported an image as a background, to see if it was because my object is glass and it needs a light/background to reflect to, but it didn't work I think it's because the 3D object doesn't use the background to reflect, but how can i fix that ?
