After Effects

New to After Effects and trying to use the Camera to create some 3 dimensional angles for text in a video.The video show is basically a zoom in shot and I want to create the illusion that the text is there in the scene as a static object but when the camera zooms the text is zoomed in on as well. Currently it just looks like the text is floating around and is not anchored to a foundation. I've tried making keframes on the camera in zoom, I've also tried creating keyframes scaling the text up (with anchor point positioned at bottom right). I've also tried adjusting the position of the text constantly as the scene moves on but its fiddly and not fluid.   Here is the link here https://youtu.be/Pt_KvaqoKXE  

Hi everyone.I have a problem with After Effect,  it gave me a problem while i editing, Cause it Glitch the preview and also the Render. The problem is Always in the first 10 second of the video. I Don't Know how to fix that and i'm hoping that someone can help me

Issue: I don't use the home screen typically , but when it appears (e.g. I need to start in safe mode), it's massive, starting at monitor 2 (middle) and extending beyond monitor 3 (right).  Fix: Have it constrain itself to the "main" monitor, only.

I am using Adobe AE 2024 since last few months and I am getting issues when I switch to another adobe application. My PC freezes and it takes approx. 2-3 minuts to move the cursor, but AE shuts down automatically after a few seconds. It does not let me do anything in between, I cannot switch to another application excapt moving the cursor. I am not using any heavy effect that might affect the software.I recently switched from AE-25 because it has same issues but at extreme level.

The new way that AE 2025 handles the video files when you create a dynamic link from Premiere Pro is not useful for several applications, like motion tracking and rotoscoping in AE. For example, to use motion tracking you have to be working in the layer for the video footage (not the main composition).  The problem with AE 20245 is that the dynamic link creates a composition that doesn't have the video footage you want to work with already nicely trimmed.  Instead the dynamic link creates a compostion with the video footage inside of another composition, and that composition has the ENTIRE video file.  This is causing me problems for 2 reasons:  1. If the video file is 5 minutes long and I only want to motion track 5 seconds of it, I don't need or want the full video file.  I want the 5 seconds of it I trimmed in Premiere Pro to be imported to AE with that footage trimmed the same way, and nicely placed on it's own layer.2. If you want to motion

Hi guys,I’m experiencing an issue with the After Effects 3D camera and was wondering if anyone has a solution to the problem below. Essentially, whenever I select any object in any project, the 3D layer controls appear huge. Does anyone have a workaround for this?Thanks in advance!

I’m using Google Drive for Desktop on my Mac.I have set my Documents folder to sync with Google Drive.All folders within the Documents folder sync perfectly, except for the After Effects folder, which shows a ”!” error and fails to sync. The issue occurs specifically with this folder:Documents/After Effects 2025/User Presets/(Adobe) Troubleshooting attempts:• I have uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects.• I have completely removed and reinstalled Google Drive for Desktop.• However, the issue persists. How can I get this folder to sync properly? My After Effects folder on my Macbook Pro (Documents/After Effects 2025/User Presets/(Adobe)) won’t sync on Google Drive for Desktop, showing a ”!” error.

I've been using aerender on my 2020 Mac Mini M1 for the past year and it's been working flawlessly, but with the latest update I've been unable to even start the program. First I input the following command as usualcd /Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 2025 ./aerender -project /Users/username/Desktop/ProjectTitle.aep -mfr "ON" 100 -sound "ON" This results in Terminal returning following without acually rendering anythingaerender version 25.1x68 PROGRESS: Launching After Effects... username@Mac-mini-2 Adobe After Effects 2025 %  Is anyone else having this issue and knows a workaround I would be grateful!

Issue: When rolling mouse pointer over the "Active Camera" or similar buttons at the bottom right of the Comp window, the Tool tip (e.g. "3D popup View") pops up and flickers endlessly until the mouse is moved. Resolved by: This flickering stops when the mouse is moved. Likely fix: Don't have the popup appear under the mouse pointer. It's probably the classic 'retriggering' issue because the popup is appearing under the mouse, hence being re-triggered endlessly.

I've recently upgraded to the newest AE and have been getting the hang of the new 3D gizmo and its various modes.  However, I've had problems doing precise adjustments to anchor point location and motion path curves on 3D layers since I often end up selecting one of the many gizmo transform handles so close to the curve handles or the gizmo itself, which is a pretty visually busy tool, obscures the precise pixels I'm trying to adjust the anchor point to. Is it possible to turn the 3D gizmo off or revert it to the old "gizmo," at least temporarily?  I've been able to find workarounds, but overall my workflow would be quicker if I could turn it off or revert it to the old tool when making those adjustments.

I've got six layers selected. Each has a Group in it, with a Path, Stroke and Fill that come from Illustrator (I converted .ai files into vector layers to get these). Normally, I can select them and click Distribute Horizontally in the Align panel and it will work as intended. But for some reason, this -- and evrything else in the Align panel -- does not work. The only thing that does anything is the Align Left button, and that doesn't work as expected; things kind of shuffle to the left, but you can keep clicking it and getting wildly different results. Any thoughts?

After effects crashes a lot when editing even though I have really good specs for video editing and does not give me the possibility to save the projects, i have just lost morethan 3 hours of editing.

I am working on a project that involves moving the points of a closed path. The stroke is tapered.But when I am moving some points aroud, suddenly the starting point of the tapering changes.Please see the screen recording that I have shared.Is there any work around this problem or is this a bug/function?

I just got back on After Effects after being off for awhile. When I start a new comp and choose black background, it gives me a transparent background. Did I accidentally change a preference or setting? Has anybody else had this happen?Thanks for any help I can get.

Hello,I am not sure if I accidentally clicked or pressed something because I am relatively new to After Effects, but I have a main composition and a couple of nested pre comps that I made. I am animating things in these nested pre comps that is only supposed to run for a couple of seconds. For some reason, the current time indicator decided to position itself at 03:25:00 as shown in the attached screenshot by default. The animation is already supposed to be over at that point, so if I navigate back to the parent comp, when I start playing from the start, that nested pre comp will just be static. If I click back into that nested pre comp, I will find that the current time indicator has moved back to 03:25:00. To clarify, if I move this current time indicator back to the start, I am able to play my animation fine. I can leave it at 0:00:00, but if I click back to the parent comp I actually end up seeing a blank space in the preview and my current time indicator is gone until I manua

Hello! I'm in After Effects CC 2024 working to animate a cube which is meant to rotate multiple times around its furthermost edge, and the way I'm doing it is by keyframing the anchor point every time it does a full 90° rotation but it's impractical and inefficient – is there any way to do this without manually keyframing? Here's a reference GIF for what I'm trying to achieve; made this real quick in another app to get the point across so it's not in the best quality...   

I have applied a few effects to a layer that has an image on it.  Is there a way to toggle the visibility of an EFFECT?  There's an eye-visibility-toggle on the layer, but I don't want to toggle visibility of the whole layer.  I want to toggle visibility of specific effects, so I can see playback with various combinations of effects. Photoshop has what I'm talking about.  I included screenshots of both AE and PS.  

Do we have any idea for exporting  webp sequence from Premiere pro or Aftereffect

objファイルを使用していたAeファイルが先日までは正しく動作していたのですが日をまたいでAeを開くと下記の画像が表示され、Aeの操作がすべてできなくなりました。objファイルを使用しないAeファイルは問題なく正常に動作することができました。改善策があれば教えてほしいです。
