After Effects

Hi community. I have set in trapcode particular Emitter type to text. And go into the designer to pick a preset style.I can see the preset style with my text appearing, but when I hit the apply button, and go back into AE. I only see my font without the preset applied to it.  What other setting am I missing? Thank you.        

I have tried changing the text colors, resetting characters but nothing works. Its happening after the latest update

Hello AE Community, I have a weird issue that came up today. I cannot get ANY After Effects project to open in ANY of the 2023 After Effects versions. Whenever I try to open a project, it just hangs on a blank Open Project Window (screenshot attached below). Here is what I have tried so far, but didn't work: -Open project up from another drive-Open an autosaved version-Start a new project, and import an existing project-Reset After Effects settings to default-Uninstall and reinstall After Effects without migrating any settings (fresh start) Again, none of these worked. Everything would just lock up After Effects entirely. The only way out was to "End Task" in the Task Manager. Also (not sure if this is related), My mogrts keep going offline in Premiere Pro, which originated in After Effects. Any additional thoughts on what I can try?  Computer Information:Edition Windows 11 ProVersion: 21H2OS build 22000.1574Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900 @ 2.50

Cant open After Effects, I already give the permisions to adobe and I wont open.  HELP!

I try to open AE and a window pops up saying "validating software license" then it closes and pops up again saying the same thing. It does this over and over again and it won't open AE. This is incredibly frustrating as i need to work. This is unacceptable for a software program relied on by so may as a means to make a living.

Hi, when rendering my 4k comp I get the Error Code 19969 saying that GPU accelerated effects are causing the render to crash. When I switch to Software-Rendering, it works but takes a long time. I don't understand what is happeing here, there is nothing special in my compositon, just a buinch of footage and Lumetri Color Effects along with some Optical Flares. Happens in AE 2022 as well. Here's my setup:Latest AE Version 2023intel 9900k64gb Ram2x Nvidia RTX 3080 (10gb)Downloaded and installed the latest Nvidia Studio Driver.

I can see that this has popped up often in the past, but specifically in my case, it's related to importing Premiere Pro timelines into AE when there are keyframes on media: In the past couple of weeks, I have seen it caused by keyframes in Premiere on:Time-remappingOpacityTransformI have a hard time reproducing it at will, so there is something about either (1) the number of keyframes. (2) The location in the media of the keyframes. In particular, Time-remapping keyframes near the beginning of end of media might be a trigger. (3) Possibly a MacOS to Windows thing? Editors are on Macs, After Effects artists are on Windows boxes.In this current job that I am working, any media time-remapped by the Editor will trigger the error, but sometimes it's something else like Opacity keyframing. Windows 11 - AE 25.1

Hallo, seit dem heutigen Update auf Version 25.2.0,ist es leider nicht mehr möglich mit *.rpf Files zu arbeiten. Ich kann die Files wie gewohnt, ganz normal importieren,aber sobald ich die ID Maske der Files verwenden möchte,stürzt After Effects sofort ab. Dies ist auch unabhängig vom Betriebssystem,weil ich das Problem unter Win10 und Win 11 habe.

I wasted 2 hours on tech support in India today and wanted to see if anyone know how to solve this issue.  A layer is not selected. I create a path. I want to annimate this path. The bug is you can not just change the size of the stroke. I put all sorts of numbers in and thge size does not change. I absolutely dont want to fill the line because it gives me crazy shapes. Asos, after you create the vectored path, you can not locate he stroke and fill options anywhere. 

I've tried exporting both as mp4 and mov. I have the noise effect on both a text and video layer. Neither of them are showing up in the export. Both the effects are toggled on, and I can see them when I playback the timeline. As it's rendering, the noise effects vanish and aren't in the exported final. Any idea what the issue could be? 

HiI try to import layers made in Illustrator into After Effects.I released to layers sequence in illustrator and after import an AI file in AE.It works well except my colors become white. No colors at all…I'm in RGB mode in Illustrator. ThanksS

Bonjour,Je travaille sur un projet video très simple sur AE (fullHD pour insta, rien de compliqué ni de gourmand en resource) mais AE crash systématiquement au moment pdt les preview RAM (en resolution demi à 50% de la taille, je ne peux même pas faire de preview integrale à 100%).Il semblerait que le probleme ne se produise pas quand je n'ai pas de fichier video dans mon projet.Le crash est etrange, je peux cliquer sur l'interface, mais elle ne réagit plus et je ne peux pas fermer le projet sans hardReboot via le finder.J'ai deja reinitilisé les prefs de multiples fois et autorisé l'accès complet au disque comme on le recommande pour Sequoia mais rien n'y fait.Merci d'avance pour votre aide ! Informations matériel :  Nom du modèle : MacBook Pro  Identifiant du modèle : Mac16,6  N° du modèle : Z1FG000MQFN/A  Puce : Apple M4 Max  Nombre total de cœurs : 16 (12 performance et 4 efficacité)  Mémoire : 128 Go  Versi

I am using AE CS5.5 and the Toggle Switches/Modes button at the bottom of the timeline has disappeared.Any suggestions pleasethanksPete

I recently switched from MacOS to Windows. My new Setup is alot better than my old one. Yet the AE player is lagging. It runs on very low fps maybe like 5 fps even with very small animations. I know it isnt a Hardware problem and i can't seem to get it fixxed. Ive tried alot of Youtube tutorials but nothing helped. Ive linked a Video to what it looks like. Please help.

I made a looped animation. How do I export it to use later? There are also some adjustable variables, I want to be able to change them in Premiere Pro.

I downloaded VideoCopilot's Color Vibrance (v1.0.6) and VC Reflect (rev14), and both .zip folders came with just .aex files (as well as some data for MacOS, which isn't relevant to me, as I'm on Windows 10). I can't make AfterEffects open the .aex files, nor can I use the Bridge to install them. I'm lost, since VC Saber was also a .aex, and that installed just fine? Is there something I'm not doing right? I keep finding many conflicting tutorials. There were no .jsx or .jsxbin files in the .zip folders, either. Just .aex files and MacOS-relevant folders/files. 

Breaking down three different ways to control the visibility of layers by adding an expression to the opacity property. All three methods provide you with easy to apply transitions.   Fade based on position keyframe The first example is controlling when a layer shows up so that you can quickly highlight part of the screen just by setting the position.   Fade based on in-point and out-point When you add a layer to your timeline, have it fade in and fade out without setting keyframes, just let the in- and out-points be the trigger.   Fade in and out by layer marker  Imagine you want to set a layer to appear, then disappear repeatedly. With this example, I use even numbered layer markers to trigger the opacity to go from 0% to 100% and odd numbered markers to do the opposite. Working out which is odd and which is even is incredibly simple, thanks to the remainder operator (%), but don't worry if you're unfamiliar with that, I break down how it works.  

Where could I download Keylight_1.2_AE.pdf as mine has been removed due to a crash on my AE, I have been struggling to find where to download the plugin ever since. It won't show up on my Effect manager either.

Hi, I want to animate the path of the Cell according to the null's position. Is there any way I can do that? I dnt wanna do it manually for losing the synchronicity or rythm. I wanna match the path movement animation extactly according to the null animation. when The null is away the cell should be a bit bigger in scale and when the null is  compressed the path should be small. I tried connecting path's scale property  with null's scale. the result is psychotic. Please help me. Please.
