After Effects

I'm looking to animate this isometric design so that the front face of the letter extrudes outward and then pulls back in—basically shifting from a flat letter to an extruded 3D version and back again.I’m struggling with selecting the specific anchor points to adjust on the timeline. Would it make more sense to redraw the shape directly in After Effects, or is there a way to just highlight and animate only the necessary points from my existing design?Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! I'm trying to export various properties to a file for each frame of an animation, and I'm a bit stumped. I've been able to pick up frame data for other Effects, such as hue and saturation within Color Balance (HLS) effect. like so:layer.property("Effects").property("Color Balance (HLS)").property("Hue").valueAtTime(time, false) However, when I go to do so for various Levels properties (Input Black, Input White, Gamma), it only gives me the data for the frame I currently have selected in the timeline. The only thing I can guess is that TECHNICALLY the stopwatch icon is on the Histogram property, and those are some sort of sub-property that only show up in the effect controls. But not sure if there's a way to get these numbers from the histogram itself in a script? I've tried doing e.g. property("Histogram").property(1) but not having any luck there. Using Property("Histogram") at all seems to just make the script not run at all. Any help would be appreciated! Thank yo

Hello,I would like to cancel my subscription. Could you please assist me with this? Also, I’d like to understand the cancellation terms—why would there be a fee charged if I unsubscribe? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, In File > Project Settings > Expressions  we have a field named Expressions Engine and we can Select Javascript.We can then use modern javascript for our expressions. But When I tried to create a script, method like map, reduce.. on arrays are not recognized. Does it means scripting is still on LegacyExtendscript ?

J'ai un problème les effets ne tiennent plus compte des masques... D'avance, merci

I was trying to combine both text style & Sourcetext but it kept telling me it's not a function.I have the most updated version of After Effects.

I'm editing a comp for a school project and when I pause (space bar) and press play (space bar) the playback goes BACK to the beginning of my comp and not where I had paused it in my timeline. I'm trying to see my progress from when I'm editing in my timeline without having to watch the video from the beginning. How do I stop this? I must have hit a few keys of selected something to mess up my spacebar functions

I am using the newest update of AE and Premiere. I have a lower thirds template created in After Effects that animates in and out via the Position attribute. I'd like to make the source text, as well as the Position adjustable to accommodate different title lengths. When I export the .mogrt and open it in Premiere, the Position attribute is static and does not retain the keyframes from the After Effects project. So the lower third does not animate, it just appears and remains at one Position value. I'd like for the Premiere editor not to have to re-keyframe the animation, and instead just adjust the values of the Position keyframes I've set in After Effects as needed. Is there a way to export this .mogrt with a "Position In" and "Position Out" keyframe already in place, with adjustable values for Premiere?Thank you for any help!

Hi all, I've been using after effects for a while now and have never encountered this issue even doing very effects-heavy projects and 3D work. I'm getting system warnings that AE is using too much memory and I can't do previews more than 5 frames even though I have no effects applied, just 5 clips laid down in the timeline. I have no other apps open.

Hola a todos,Estoy intentando generar un deslizador para controlar los keyframes creados en el trazado de una forma en After Effects para simular el giro del torso utilizando el plugin Joysticks 'n Sliders. Sin embargo, cuando los conecto, en lugar de un solo deslizador, se genera un deslizador por cada keyframe del trazado.Vi que el youtuber Dustin DT en un vídeo corto  logra hacer lo que pretendo que es el giro del torso por medio de un deslizador, pero no tiene un tutorial explicando el proceso de como lo hizo. Asumí que lo hizo con el trazado y vinculándolo directamente al deslizador, pero no está funcionando.¿Alguien sabe cómo solucionar esto? ¿Es necesario usar alguna expresión específica para que funcione correctamente?¡Agradecería mucho su ayuda, porque es para un trabajo académico de una animación en After Effects

Hello guys, I couldnt install creative cloud as the .exe wasnt opening... so I used the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool... but after using this i can no longer start after effects, how can i fix this?

In the 3D scene. Contact shadow a little far from the object, there is some parameter that measures the distance? Another thing, I noticed is that the shadows generated are exclusive to Environment Light. Because even if I add a spot light, it only helps to illuminate and does not cast shadows on the floor like this Environment Light, is that right?

Was working on a project with MXF footage in After Effects. Updated, and now I get this error. I have a workaround.

Hello all. I have the following expression for my source code: effect("Einstellungen für Schieberegler")("Schieberegler").value.toFixed(1)+" %"; Unfortunately, the digits after the comma are separated by a dot. Since I work in Germany, I would like to have the place after the comma separated by a comma.  Unfortunately, this does not work as an addition:replace (".",","); Can anyone help me? Thank you very much!

Hey all,I am trying to animate a map illustration. I have a circle centered in my project over a start line (which is the route), I am wanting to move the map so the line to flows through the centre of the circle, keeping the circle pin centered in my project. How can I make the background move through while keeping the pin fixed?Image attached of the map, pin and route.

Hi. I'm re-posting a question that I posted from last night to see if anyone has am insight: Hi. I am working on a project that uses roto brush a lot. Since I've been working on it, the roto brush has been taking progressively longer to propagate. Other than rolling the version of AE back to 18.1 (which seems to be the common suggestion to resolve the issue), is there another method to resolve it? I am using ProRes 422 files. I am running it on a laptop with Windows 11 and a decent amount of RAM (40GB) and I've upped the amount of RAM usage by AE. Is there anything else I should try?
