 Hello,when ı load the 3D model in After Effects,the 3D model appears on the screen,ıcan make adjustments but it is not visible

Hi, I am a complete newbie to AE expressions. I have 24 comps that I don't want them all to start to play at the same time, I would like them to start randomly, essentially randomly delay each comp by a few seconds. I don't want to stagger the comps as the project may grow and I would rather use an expression if possible. I found the code below but I am getting an error. Can someone please advise me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.//time remapdelay = 5;framerate = 25;n = name - 1;d = n*(delay)/framerate;t = thisLayer.timeRemap.valueAtTime(time-d);[t] 

Hello,I am very new to the Ae SDK,I tried to change the slider in the template plugin to show the percentage,But the sdk doesn't seem to have a percentage type slider per se,So how to make the slider parameters with percentage AEFX_CLR_STRUCT(def);PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX(STR(StrID_Gain_Param_Name),0.0, 50.0,0.0, 100.0,0.0,PF_Precision_TENTHS,0,0,GAIN_DISK_ID); 

Hi I'm totally new to after effect and I'm trying to follow tutorials along, but i encountered one issue. when i create 3d objects (sorry if i don't know the technical names yet) and i activate the 2 view camera to edit the depth, sometimes the bars doesn't move at all, and then if i try to get out of that view (going back to 1 view), to try a different approach, instead of going to the main composition, AE only shows the black screen that's supposed to control the main comp. I cant seem to find a solution for this other that reopening the program completely, even if i rest the workspace, no matter what i do it just wont go away. Any solution to this?PS: Also sorry about any grammatical mistakes, English is my second language.

Hello, I have a question to ask. I want to achieve the effect of only playing certain frames of images in a loop in a composition made up of a bunch of sequence frame images (with only one layer). Can you tell me which APIs I can call to achieve this?

Absolute novice. Any advice to anchor me to a trait or habit to make my journey a bit smoother? whats the most used feature? shortcuts? thank you let me know!!!

Bonjour,Je viens vers vous pour demander a des personnes si elles savent comment mettre les effets en anglais.Apres avoir mit l'application en anglais pour suivre des tutos, le noms des effets reste en français, du genre "fondu arriere" etc et sa pout tout les effets, il y a seulement le nom de la categorie en anglais mais les effets a l'intérieur sont en français.J'ai vraiment besoin d'aides.Mercii.

I'm working with a 3D object (cube) in After Effects and aiming to cast realistic shadows for it. My composition includes 3D camera tracking data, and I've encountered a problem with the object's position relative to the viewport.In After Effects 25.0.1, I've noticed that shadows are only rendered when the 3D object fits within the viewport from the top view. I've colored the shadow red to make it more noticeable.Here is an image demonstrating the object inside the viewport from the top view, where the shadow is rendered correctly.However, according to my tracking data, the object often falls outside the viewport from the top view, resulting in the shadow not appearing at all. Is there a solution to render the shadow even when the object is positioned outside the viewport from the top view?Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance! 

Hi! I'm using the 3D Camera Tracker to integrate text in a scene, but the text looks very fake. What could I do to blend it better?Adding grain, noise, blur, and matching the depth of field are great initial steps, but they often aren’t enough to fully integrate the text into the scene. I was hoping for something like Photoshop’s 'Blend If' to better match lighting and textures.  Thank you! Christian.

Hello!How can I recreate this animated infinite strokes scene from Ariana Grande - Problem ft. Iggy Azalea.I plan to mask the subjects in my video using rotoscope but I don't know how to replicate this infinite strokes effect. All suggestions are very much appreciated 🙂  

I use the shift key a ton to snap layers in time to each other, but notice it's very inaccurate unless the timeline is zoomed way in. Example is moving a layer ajacent to another when the timeline is zoomed out and holding shift key down, it almost always overlaps by a frame. When I zoom in, the snapping will happen very precisely then. Hope that makes sense! 

I've been working within After Effects with imported illustrator files. The original illustrator character file was not created by me, I've been tasked with taking over development and I can't figure out why the character rig I created in After Effects seems to be changing colour once it's imported into another AE file. I've verified that everything is RGB and the color profile is 16 bit, but the original file I created the rig in was 8 bit, not sure if maybe that is the issue. I changed it to 16 bit after the fact, so maybe I'm just ignorant to how all of this works. I've attached an image of a few of the original rigs, which I can't/don't want to re-use. The one on the right is the one I'm currently working with. I'm at my wit's end and I think I'm at the point where I'm going to try and re-create the rig because I can't figure this out.

Hi. I just purchased Element 3D and I'm running the latest Adter Effects. When I render out my file, my Element 3D model doesn't render out. Can someone please help me out. My element3d model is on a canvas size of 1920x1920. I have cleared the cache within Element3D and still the problem persists.

I cannot understand this aliment issue. How can it be explained? Video is attached. -Where as flayer menu shows "Left align text" text in graphic area is aligned to Right.-Where as flayer menu shows "Rght align text" text in graphic area is aligned to Left. 

Hi guys, when I want to hide parameter, PF_PUI_DISABLED works as expected, it greys out param, but when I want to hide it's not doing anything. This is within UserChangedParam function:if (which_hitP->param_index == TEST){ if (params[TEST]->u.pd.value == 1) { params[TEST]->uu.change_flags = PF_ChangeFlag_CHANGED_VALUE; params[POSITION]->ui_flags |= PF_PUI_INVISIBLE; //PF_PUI_DISABLED works AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP); ERR(suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_UpdateParamUI(in_data->effect_ref, POSITION, params[POSITION])); } }Can someone please explain why  PF_PUI_INVISIBLE is not working like PF_PUI_DISABLED, thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to use clients Adobe After Effects 2020 for graphics and lower thirds via NDI, 4.5 version, to send to Wirecast or OBS with transparency. When the composition is being played live from AE or played rendered, alpha channel is not being transmitted neither to Wirecast nor OBS or NDI monitor. We get black background in Wirecast or OBS. However, if I export the same composition RGB+ alpha channel as a separate file and then import it into Wirecast or OBS, everything is fine. Full transparency. I tried this same scenario with clients Premier and ProPresenter, alpha channel plays fine live with those, but not AE. Was anyone here successful with this scenario? Mac OS Catalina, MacBook, Mac Mini and Mac Pro. Someone posted it on Vimeo with this setup and was successful. However, it was PC. What am I missing? I heard some people saying its somethign to do with the PRM not passing the alpha channel during live play. Is this AE problem or NDI's. Hopefully there's an updat

all the objects the background is white i guess i pressed some buttons and this happened i have atttached a picture with it  

I need to know the certified GPU card for AE GPU-accelerate,because your System requirements about After Effects was not written clearly.And I still don't understand why the certified GPU for premiere and AE is not same??

Hi, I’m new to this support community and new to After Effects so I hope someone can help me with this problem. The version of AE I have is v17.5.1 (Build 47). I’m using Premiere to assemble some old 8mm film footage I had transferred to mp4 files and I was hoping I could use AE Content-Aware Fill to get rid of some hairs in the film gate, which are pretty much static. I have looked at a lot of how-to videos but am stuck at the “Generate Fill layer” stage where I am getting the error message “AE Warning: All target frames are blank. The Content-Aware Fill layer generation has been aborted.” FYI, I’m not using Dynamic link but importing the files separately into AE as a stand-alone project. I’ve attached some screen shots that I hope will explain the situation better. I should underline that I'm totally new at this and am aware that it's probably something I'm not doing, or doing wrong. Hope someone can help, thanks so much.

When trying to export ( File > Export > Add to media encoder queue ) I receive the error message in the subject line of this post. Mac is up to date and I've attached image of computer specs. Here is what I've tried so far:Restartde-install and re-install latest versions of After Effects and Media Encoderde-install and install previous versions (AE 17.0.4 and ME 14.0.4) based on another support articlede-install AE + ME again + run repair CC Cleaner Tool I restarted computer between each step and removed preferences using CC prompt (no manual deletion) I would greatly appreciate support help on this as nothing is working and I continue to get the same error message, and therefore cannot export anything from After Effects to Media Encoder.

I am using the lastest AE version. I tried making a text for a video as paragraph text and it doesn't work, I typed the first line and pressed enter, but the new text just gets mixed with the first text. I adjusted the text box and it still doesn't work properly. Any ideas? I am uploading a picture showing that it is already selected as paragraph text.

The after effects camera has another symbol instead of the 3D square and does not act on objects placed in 3D with this other symbol, can you help me? 

I have an extension that executes function test() on a button click, to show/hide properties with keyframes: function test() { var res = false; var msg = 'default'; var comp = _proj.activeItem; if (!comp || !(comp instanceof CompItem)) { msg = 'No active item or active item is not a comp'; return toJSON(res, msg); } var layer = comp.layer(1); if (!layer) { msg = 'No layer selected'; return toJSON(res, msg); } layer.selected = true; var cmdStr = 'Reveal Properties with Keyframes'; var cmdId = executeCommand(cmdStr); if (cmdId == 0) { msg = 'Command \'' + cmdStr + '\' id not found'; return toJSON(res, msg); } msg = 'Executed \'' + cmdStr + '\' (' + cmdId + ')'; layer.selected = false; return toJSON(res, msg); } function executeCommand(cmdStr) { var cmdId = 0; cmdId = app.findMenuCommandId(cmdStr); if (cmdId == 0) return cmdId; app.executeCommand(cmdId); return cmdId; } When I call test() the first time, it works and opens keyframed props, but when

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the ongoing performance issues I am facing with After Effects on my HP Pavilion Gaming setup. The software's persistent lag and freezing are making my work environment unbearable, and it's seriously impacting my motivation to continue using the application.As an animator, I heavily rely on After Effects to bring my creative visions to life. However, the continuous disruptions caused by the software's poor performance are draining my enthusiasm and motivation to work. The lag and freezing have become so prevalent that it's increasingly difficult for me to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner.Despite utilizing a system optimized for graphic-intensive tasks, After Effects seems to be pushing my HP Pavilion Gaming setup to its limits. This is reflected in the significant slowdowns and freezes, which occur even when I'm working with basic texts, expressions, and images.I've tried various solutions, inclu
