After Effects

Hi, I've been using keyframes to animate positions of nodes for vector shapes such as below, which I import as .eps and convert to vector. I'm wondering about the further possibilities for animating vector nodes using code or expressions?  

Hello, I have completed my animation. and then I applied a gradient ramp. But the gradient does not keep moving with the animation. It stands still. I must have done something wrong. Please help.  

I'm hoping to achieve an effect where I morph a world map in my video into a 3D globe and then spread back out into a flat map again.I can't seem to find anything in the CC Sphere effect to be able to do that so I wonder if there's any other way I can achieve this effect.

Hi community. How can I locate where the text placeholder is located in the particular presets section? Im trying to use chatgtp for guidance, but cannot locate the placeholder where it's implying the text can be found? Thank you.  

Tengo un problema con After effects, he estado trabajando en un proyecto de animación 2D con capas provinientes de Illustrator, durante 3 días no he tenido problemas, pero derrepente me saltan errores 50:29 y 39:44 , he probado actualizando ae, cambiando ruta de dirección, abriendolo en otro ordenador, y nada. No se que hacer, agradeceria cualquier tipo de ayuda.

Issue Summary:I’m experiencing a critical issue with After Effects (both Beta and regular versions) on my Mac. Every time I try to launch the application, I get the error: “BSKLCompanion plug-in generated an unexpected exception.” However, I don’t have the BSKLCompanion plug-in installed, so I’m unsure why this error is occurring. What I’ve Tried:Checked my system for any files related to BSKLCompanion—found nothing.Reset After Effects preferences on startup.Cleared the cache and media files.Updated After Effects to the latest version through Creative Cloud.Uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects (both Beta and normal versions).Confirmed that no other plug-ins are installed that could cause conflicts. System Info:Device: Mac (M1 Pro, 32GB RAM)OS: macOS Ventura (latest version)After Effects Version: Both Beta and regular (latest versions via Creative Cloud) Key Questions:Could this error be caused by a hidden system file or process that After Effects is trying to access

I've been getting an error message pretty often on Premiere and After Effects lately that says 'fonts are not available on this computer', even though those fonts are installed and I make sure to double check in Creative Cloud. Has anyone else had this? The font is available when I select it in the text box, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried to log out of Creative Cloud, turn off the fonts and turn them back on, and nothing. Help 😬🫨

When i try to install the VideoCopilot Plugins (Saber and Elements 3d)  i get an error. (Error Code 40)I've already checked spaces, permissions and close all Adobe programs. Help! 🙏 Marcos  

Hola, Mi programa de cabecera es After effects en win11. Me resultaba muy útil compartir mi trabajo para revisión con la extension integrada de frame.io. Pero hace un mes o dos meses no funciona mas esta extensión... pensé que iba a ser algo temporal, que se iba a solucionar con las últimas actualizaciones, pero no.¿Hay alguna solución? ¿Esto va a tener alguna solución pronto? o definitivamente van quitar esta opción integrada. Se supone que viene con el plan anual por el cual estoy pagando.

Olá pessoal, tudo bem?Meu pluggin animation composer está travando o after effects depois que troquei de laptop. Já atualizei tanto o animation composer quanto o after effects em várias versões e segue dessa forma, inclusive o 2025. No laptop antigo, usando after 2023 não travava. Já no novo, tem hora que trava o note inteiro e eu perco muito tempo. O laptop em si tem 1tb de memória e 16gb ram, não está com muitos arquivos usando a memória. Quando eu estou com a camada selecionada o animation composer trava.. caso não esteja selecionada, preciso pesquisar com calma o efeito e depois clicar na camada + dar o comando pra aplicar e torcer pra não travar.. No 2024 está da mesma forma. Desinstalei e reinstalei o animation composer e segue assim. Fui orientada a mudar o after effects para inglês, a fim de tentar solucionar o problema com o script. Testei em alguns trabalhos e novamente voltou a travar tudo. Às vezes o pluggin trava apenas quando começo a navegar por ele,

I ran updates a couple of weeks ago and didn't notice that After Effects got stuck on 55%. Today I clicked cancel. It is now stuck on Cancelling. I have restarted creative cloud, I have tried to uninstall After Effects. I can't use After Effects at all, and now because After Effects is stuck in cancelling I also can't update anything else as they are 'waiting'. I am running macOS Sequoia 15.1.1After Effects was trying to update to v 25.1Any advice?

I am trying to import a render I made on 2s (rather than 1s, for the sake of time), but the sequence is "missing" every other file. In the playback, there is a placeholder for these files. I don't want to spend countless hours importing every single png, or timeremapping the sequence. Is there a way to have Ae recognize each one in the sequence as a single frame, not skipping a frame? Do I have to go back and rename every single file??    You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are usingTo ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the correct forum...

Hello guys, I am a graphic designer who is eager to make an animation as the main final outcome for my project which is about a wayang kulit (traditional Malaysia puppet.) I want to learn about character movement but still cannot achieve it. I spend a few days trying this character's movement and effect. I hope you guys can help me to produce this kind of movement. p/s: Sorry for my bad English.

Hello everyone, I'm working on a video of images that catches fire. (selling images) I want to opacify the background because it is lighted as it goes through combustion.I'd like to keep a realistic side with the work of light coming from the flames.The idea of having a neutral black background.Not seeing too much how to do it, I work image by image with the painting tool in order to mask as and when it goes along and by playing on the opacity but the "actions" of painting on the layer make the video heavier and I get back again with a rendering every time in a long time.Do you have any ideas? I'm a little desperate to finish this video...I would point out that I am starting with after effect, thank you all for your advice.

  

Hello,I have imported a 3D object (Gltf) i created, with its texture. Light was not baked, only the diffuse colour. Objectvis imported correctly but in the Comp it is affected by a light source that I can't find. There are no layer lights on my comp. On the object itself I can only access the transform properties. I need the object with flat texture only, no shadows. What should I do?Thanks 

Hi guys! For some time now, I've been thinking that I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing, that I forget a lot of things that I modify in my after, except that today I've got proof that I'm not crazy, when I change the duration of certain layers and I change the precomp excpecially when I use time remap, it comes back as it was before I saved it, have you had that lately too?

Since I updated to AE CC 2018, I'm no longer able to render or prerender small files.After Effects will start out with the render process and overtime my RAM usage will go up until it hits 90% (Starts at 14%).At 90% AE will tell me that it's out of memory and after what feels like a thousand error messages it will tell me to shut down the program to prevent information loss.I can't work with this program in any way anymore, it worked way better AND faster on my old PC with only 8GB of RAM....Specs: Ryzen 1700x; Radeon RX Vega 64; 32GB RAM; And it's painfully slow..

Привет всем, я обновила версию в AE, но при работе над проектом он очень сильно лагает, что можно сделать?

Hello! So for some reason when I have any project open it won't allow me to click on certain things. For example, when i try to fit the composition into the screen, it will show for a quick second and then will suddenly go away. It does this with other things as well and I've shut down my computer and tried fixing it as best as i can, is there anything i can do. Please reach out soon!!

I have a 30 fps video I want to export as a JPEG sequence, but I only want to export every 50th frame of the video. Do I have to do that manually, or is there a way to do that in a single render batch?Thanks!

Hi,I've got a Text layer which is taking it's value from another layer "Rate" - first line of the code. I want to be able to kern the characters of this individually (using sliders) but when I add in the code (lines 2 onwards), it no longer takes the "Rate" value but reverts to the original valueI'm not sure why it is happening. I think I need to redefine the sourceText value but I'm not sure how to do that. Thanks in advance! thisComp.layer("Rate").text.sourceText.value; text.sourceText.style // 1st character kerning // .setKerning(thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("1st Kerning multiplier")("Slider"), 1) // 2nd character kerning // .setKerning(thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("2nd Kerning multiplier")("Slider"), 2) // 3rd character kerning // .setKerning(thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("3rd Kerning multiplier")("Slider"), 3)
