After Effects

 Hello, I have been driving myself crazy for hours trying to match the color space of my footage in premiere pro with the color space of the footage in After Effects. This is an issue because when I try to use a dynamic link for editing, the footage that is replaced is vastly different colorwise. I have tried switching both to Rec. 709 but After Effects has Rec. 709 PQ and not simply Rec. 709 (which still gives me different colors than in premiere pro unfortunately). If someone knows a solution I will be so thankful!

I'd love to see functionality added to be able to edit the composition settings of multiple compositions at the same time. Example of functionality:- Select multiple compositions- Right click and select composition settings- Any settings that are shared across compositions are visible- Any settings that are different between compositions show a '-', but can still be edited- Once adjustments are made, any settings that weren't adjusted remain as is to ensure that any differences between compositions are still honoured.  Real-life use case:I have 30 compositions set up for social 'feed' posts at 1080x1080.I need to now do 'story' versions of all of these compositions at 1080x1920.Currently, I have to manually edit the specs of each composition one at a time.

Visually, the precomp doesn’t align in Z-depth with the text, even though both have the same position values.In the Top view(Right) it seems to be behind, but in the Active Camera view, it appears in front. It's like the Z position is being interpreted differently between the precomp and the main comp.Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi folks,I'm working with the font "Mojito" from Adobe Fonts. It appears just fine in Illustrator and on the adobe fonts website. However, it changes appearance in After Effects (notice e & o).  I've reset AE preferences and none of the faux text options are switched on. What can I do to solve this?  

Hi all,I'm trying to import a psd file as a composition and AE keeps loading a different file from the same folder - I tried saving my file with a new name in a different folder and AE just picked a different wrong file to load. I'm not sure if I'm being clear. AE loads/creates a new composition with the correct file name, I have the same file open in PS just to confirm, but the contents of the file, i.e., the layers, are from a different PSD file that I've got saved in that same folder.Any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it?Thanks!

IssueExpressions that rely on time no longer evaluate correctly in After Effects 25.2.2.In previous versions (24.x and earlier), these expressions worked as expected. This appears to be related to overly aggressive internal caching of time-dependent expressions that prevents them from updating over time, even though no error is shown. Adobe After Effects version25.2.2 Operating SystemWindows 11 (Build 22631) Steps to ReproduceCreate a new composition and add a solid or text layer.Select the Position property and apply the following expression: center = value; radius = 100; speed = 1; angle = time * speed * 2 * Math.PI; x = Math.cos(angle) * radius; y = Math.sin(angle) * radius; center + [x, y]Play the composition (RAM preview or spacebar). Expected ResultThe layer should move in a smooth circular motion over time, based on the angle derived from time. Actual ResultThe layer jumps slightly on expression evaluation but remains static. The time variable does

I've had this problem since the first version 25 of AE but it still hasn't been fixed and I haven't read anything about this anywhere yet, so I am wondering if this is a common problem for others or just me? If someone else has this problem, did anyone ever figure out a solution? Could it be a plugin, preset or menu option that does this? I attatched a video showing this problem. It never happened before this version and suddenly is always there.

After effects will not open. My device meets the requirments to use After effects and all of the other adobe apps I have work fine e.g illustrator,photoshop,Premier pro but one day after effects stopped working. This was nearly 2 months ago The splash screen will load then disapper or The splash screen will glitch and not allow me to close it meaning I have to use task manager to close it - photo of the second outcome attached. It gives me options to start in safe mode or reset prefernces but none of these options work and I do not have any plugins installed  I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled and even updated to the latest version v25.2.2 However even switching to older versions does not work. Here are my system specs - Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHzInstalled RAM 20.0 GB (19.8 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor I have even tried the Beta AE but it still will not work&n

Just sending this out there to hopefully find out about some new 3d model and free textures sites. It’s exciting to find more resources, particularly if they are free and include models compatible with MAX or SKP formats. It is hope that will be helpful for you to create 3D special effects using Adobe After Effects.3D models and Free Textures Resource：https://www.relebook.com/3D models search engine：https://www.yeggi.com/

I'm trying to figure out how this WW2 map animation revealing Japan's occupation of China was done in Johnny Harris's video. Can anyone here in this forum tell me what method you would use in After Effects to do this?  Thank you very much in advance. https://youtu.be/TOJQkhzpLyQ?t=31  

Hi, please help!After Effects crashes on launch. Happens both on my mac studio, and on my macbook pro.See attached screenshot for error.

Hi there, my current issue is that when I export after effects files over to media encoder to be processed to mp4 files it would not load. Above is a sample of a single part being rendered and stuck at 1.12 minutes for over 5 hours. Most of my other AE files do not do this and only this file has this issue.  For reference, these are my specs1920X1080 P 60FPSH.264 or Quicktime (apple pro res 422)Plug-ins used (vc orb)License is school license as this is provided by them for intern use, coms specs (in case someone says my com is bad)pc- 64gb ram, ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3080)Laptop- (16gb ram, intel i7-7700k and gtx 1050) Both platforms experience the same issue and I have been troubleshooting for a while. If anyone knows how to troubleshoot this pls help!   

Hello guys,I recently started a new project and i have to use a lot of spotlights, but my problem is, when i have more than 8 spotlights, the last one (lowest) in my timeline doesn't work. I don't notice anything if I turn it off or on. Please help me.

I have an AE file with a bunch of missing links... is there a way to view what the filepath is currently set as like I can with InDesign?   I know I can replace links, but it would be helpful to know where AE is trying to pull the links from in the first place

With either the menu selection Edit->Split Layer or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-D (Windows) I cannot split a layer.  The shortcut will sometimes do nothing and sometimes duplicat

I just updated AE to 2025.2 and opened my project, the lumetri scopes now interpret my footage with WAY overblown values. I render/composite/output in HDR on an SDR monitor and rely on the scopes to work on my content, now it is useless: I've tried changing all the settings to try and get it to display the accurate data. For the record, this is how the Lumetri scopes is supposed to interpret the same file, from AE 2024:Please fix this, I absolutely need to get this to be working right again.

i've noticed ae crashing more recently, and after reading the an online guide have picked up on some mistakes that likely led to that (mp4 files), but for the last 3 days every time i try to open the program this happens. i can't even enter the app to make changes, it literally crashes immediately. any advice? i cannot figure it out for the life of me and i am desperate 🙏 

I am trying to export animation as a MOGRT file. But when ı press "Export Motion Graphics Template" button this error pops up.

Salut tout le monde ! (Merci à ceux qui prendront le temps de lire ma demande d'aide 🙂 !) Je me permets de faire un post car j'ai de gros gros problèmes de performances sur After Effects.En fait, peu importe ce que je fais dessus, il y a une utilisation énorme de ma RAM et je lagge à mort quand je preview.

Been trying to add a shadow to my tracked 3d object with no success. The 3d file format is GLB and is animated. Here is are the views of my compositions: (I realised an odd thing is that the shadow does finally appear only when the model & solid is within the confines of the "white" box on the left composition view as seen above.) I tried to restart my scene from scratch, however no matter what i do i can't get it within the confines. I've attached images of my layer order and settings(top to down), please tell me if there are any issues: Overall, I don't know if it's a bug problem or something but all I know is that I'll truly appreciate any support to help fix this problem! Thank you🙏

Hello, I am new to After Effects, I created a lower third third that had an animated and multi-colored rectangle on my name; however, the rectangle and my name are not showing up after I transfer the Mogrt to Premiere Pro. The text for my second and third lines (I have to add a third line) show in Premiere Pro, and I can see my name and the box in the preview screen in Premiere Pro, but the box and my name won't show in the program window. What am I doing wrong?  

Hi. I had an issue about composition panel in After Effects. It happened after windows update several months ago. When I use the app with Nvidia gpu for high perf, the view port disappears. But after switch it to intel it works. I checked the update history, there was intel update amont others. I wonder how it affects nvidia and how can solve the problem

Hey gang—I am having an issue on my renders (see attached image). I know this has to do with the technique I'm using, but this is a new issue and I suspect some sort of setting got messed up during an update. I'm taking jpg sequences, and the shots are kind of related, also kind of not; I change the frame blending to pixel motion, enable time remapping and stretch the length to about 1000%. The effect is quite dreamy and strange, which I like, and it works perfectly in the comp viewer, but when I render it out, I get the attached image. I've tried using Animation and all the ProRes varients. AE 25.2.2MacOS 13.7 on a 16" 2019 5600M 

Hello. I´m trying to export my camera and some locators to after effects and the resulting scene seems to suffer from offset of a wrong camera. I don´t know if i am doing something wrong but i´ve followed the instrucctions i´ve seen everywhere with no succes. Even Maya live link is failing. I have a 1920x1080 maya scene (the same in AE), i create some planes, one camera, set its Fil Aspect Ratio to 1.778, render from Arnold and then i try to import the camera via .ma files, .fbx (via FBX to AE plugin) and AE Live Link, and i always get the same result, the planes are not in position. This is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me please? Thanks! I guess it has to be with the scene scale or some camera setting that im not able to recognize yet...
