Ello, I'm working on a heavy project in after effects, using a lot of greyscale content for masks etc, which made me wonder:what single channel image formats does AE support?if it supports any, does it internally handle them as single channel textures? or is it treating them as rgb under the hood, in other words, does it make use of the 3x perf increase of only having to calculate 1 channel instead of 3?

I hope Adobe will buy the code for zaxwerks invigorator and proanimator. These plugins are far superior to c4dlite (which functions mainly as an advertisement for the full version of c4d). I've used most of the major 3d apps and I would not pick c4d for better quality work. I do most of my work in Houdini, but loved the benefits from easy and fast rendering g of zaxwerks plugins when they worked. Unfortunately with newer osx versions they are too old to work.

it's more than 15 years that I do languages version and more than 15years that the problem of Arabic hasn't been fixed, incredible. i've got Ae 2025, a translataed world document in Arabic, I use Dubai font for Arabic. Copy and paste on After effects and ... it's still flipped wrongly!!! like 15 years ago! and now there is no even the option of chnaging preferences because it supposed to be 'intelligent'.  please don't tell me I have to flip each sentence on the website page like in the old days...  How do I fix this?!

For some reason the "Center Anchor Point in Layer Content" function is not working. I have restarted the software several times. I have restarted my computer as well. Whether I am using the keyboard shortcut or I am going into Layer > Transform > Center Anchor Point in Layer Content, it does not do anything. I even have preferences set to automatically center the anchor point to the content when I create a shape layer. After Effects is still not centering the anchor point though. Anyone else have this issue? 

Hello, my application was deleted. I had a video that I have been working on for 1 month. Since my application was deleted, I cannot access the video because I did not save it to the video. I searched a lot on YouTube and Google but I could not find anything. What should I do? I would be glad if you could help me.

Bonjour, J'ai actuellement un problème quand j'essaye de faire un tracking. Le bouton "appliquer" ne peut pas être sélectionné alors que j'ai déjà tout track.La seule forme de tracking ou le bouton "appliquer" s'affiche c'est quand je sélectionne stabilisation. Hors là j'essaye de faire le suivi d'un objet dans ma vidéo mais impossible d'appliquer une fois le tracking finis. je suis sur macbook M1.

 It's very loud!

I wrote a script panel, but there is an issue with the display in After Effects 2025.When checking and unchecking checkboxes, the border disappears. (the same issue with radio button)This problem did not occur in version 2024.Here is the code for testing purposes.Please save the following text as a JSX file and execute it in After Effects//-------------------------------------var testPanel = this instanceof Panel ? this : new Window("palette", "Test", undefined);var main = testPanel.add("group", undefined, "");var checkbox = main.add("checkbox", undefined, "Checkbox");if (testPanel instanceof Window) {testPanel.center();testPanel.show();}

My green cache bar is not loading fully and it is causing the video to lag when I play it back. Whenever I render it and it saves it is completely fine and plays through smoothly but in after effects it doesn't. I don't know what the problem is.

Everything is updated in Cloud. When I launch files I get this messageAfter effects error: the file you are attempting to open was created with after effects 25.1 (windows 64) and cannot be opened with this version. See adobe.com/aftereffects for information on upgrading your software What gives here?

Hey guys, Im trying to use the " track Camera" option but it keep telling me "After Effects error: This effect cannot be applied because it cannot be initialized. Try reinstalling or contacting the plug-in developer.        (25 :: 3)"  Im not sure what to do. does anyone know how to fix this issue?   Title edited by Mod.

My original painting has tree A close up, and tree B far away near the horizon. In After Effects, I will position tree B on the Z axis so it's far away from the camera, then rescale it to match the proportions of my original painting. Two questions:1. In the context of my painting, tree B is hundreds of yards away from tree A. How far should I position it on the Z axis? 2. Can you tell me a math formula that tells me the exact number I need to rescale the object based on how far I positioned it on the Z axis? Thank you.

I have AI files where both layer content and artboards are 1920x1080. But when I import them into After Effects both comps and footage come in as 192x108px documents. I have done this type of importing for years and I've never seen or heard of this. Each Illustrator file I import was previously exported from a master AI with numerous artboards. The outputted AI files that I'm importing only have 1 artboard each.

Hey guys, I am working on a composition with motion graphic titles. I created a title that came from the left side to right. After submitting my project, my boss asked me to flip it to come from the right side to left. The issue is, this is pre-made motion graphic, where all of it's effects, shapes, everything is made to come from it's original left to right motion. I tried the whole distort - transform - scale - -100degrees, but that just flipped it over and messed up the characters of the words to read backwards. Then I manually flipped over the words, but soon after, I realized that the rest of the stuff was out of place bc it isn't supposed to be going right to left. Basically, I am desperate for some help. Is there an easy way to flip this? Do I need to be looking at rearranging key frames or something? HELP!

I've been trying to render an animation that has a layer with the alpha stencil turned on (for small fluid/wave-like effect) and extract effect. It's my first time using alpha stencil, I'm not sure why the animation isnt showing up in the render even if I turn on RGB+alpha in the Quicktime render setting. These are my settings (adjustment layer) (This is the one inside the precomp Ripples)   I want this to show up after the vid renders But I only get this in my render (the small waves aren't showing up)Thank you so much! 

I noticed once I've changed this, It will not allow me to change it back to default, or any other preset for that matter.  *update I can change this setting via the composition settings, but it does not work from the view menu once it's been activated there. *update* Ok, my appologies I feel like an idiot now. I have my workspace setup to where my composition is on it's own monitor, so I had the timeline selected and not the comp window! 

I'm trying to accomplish what's explained on the page below: "CHANGE THE FONT FOR CERTAIN WORDS"https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/expressions-text-properties.html On the SourceText attribute, i have:text.sourceText.style.setFont("Didot-Italic",2) I'm only trying to change the font style for the 2nd word. But I'm getting the following error: "setFont needs exactly 1 argument".

Hi there, I've been having an issue with AE 25.1.0 where I've been gettting the "Low memory warning" orange banner in my comps even though the timeline shows that the frames are cached (with blue and green lines).My play back is stuck on a loop for 2 - 3 frames and won't progress until I purge the cache. Once I've purged the cache I'll have playback until I change something (anything), in which case I need to purge the case again. When I purge the cache in these instances I usually ending up purging less than 500mb of memory.Is anyone else having this issue with 25.1.0 or do you think is hardware related?My specs:- Apple M1 Pro, 16gb RAM My AE settings: - Disk cache: 300gb- 3GB RAM reserved for other applications (13gb for AE) Last notes, I realise I have low ram in my macbook and that would be a big contributor, however I'm currently working with simple shape layers in a 1920x1080 comp. AE 24 on my system handled this fine which leads me to think the issue mig

In this Left & Right grip should hold the box, Bounding Box hides the gap between grip & box. Is there any way to switch off the grip Bounding Box temporarily? 

AE 25.2 (though i've seen this for awhile)OSX 15.4 When I double click to open a Comp in my timeline, a Footage panel opens up. Even if I close the footage panel, anytime I double check my viewer changes.I run a dual monitor setup but I'm not sure this is the reason.  Is anyone else seeing this? (due to the confidentiality of my work, reach out Adobe and I can share privately a capture)

I honesyly hate coming across silly bugs after an update. brand new project. New comp and create solid and i get this ANNOYING message.  Only once thouhg. I've reset the preferences. Cleared the cache. AGH.Super glad we all pay so much money for this. V 25.2.0 

Why in After Effects there is no option for selecting a preset type when saving a preset like Premiere Pro. Any preset in After Effects is saved as "Anchor to in Point" type in Premeire. It's so frustrating and time-consuming when I have many layers with different lengths, and I apply a preset, then adjust all keyframes to fit the layer's length.
