After Effects

The Warp Stabilizer is getting stuck and won't continue working (although it displays the message "1 minute remaining"). I'm editing 4K video and am trying to use the Warp Stabilizer, which always worked perfectly before the latest version (18.4.0 (Build 41)). My frame rate is 29.97, which matches that in the original. I have 128GB of RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4GHz Sixteen Core, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB working on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The system is new and this is the first project I've run on it; unfortunately, I've had more frustration than expected. Canceling the process causes AE to crash. Sometimes upon restarting AE, the menu stops working also - it displays "After Effects: Invalid Menu Option" when clicking on any menu item. I've deleted the Warp Stabilizer from the comp, purged all memory, restarted AE, restarted the computer, and added the Warp Stabilizer back to the file (it happens on various files - although one did stabilize properly once). I'm looking f

For like a month now I've been having this issue. When I edit keyframes with the speed graph, my mouse and keyboard will start acting on their own. Things just randomly start happening such as: mouse click and drag, undo's, caps lock turning on, etc. The weirdest part is that this issue will extend to outside of after effects. Even after I have closed it. Same random mouse and keyboard inputs. It will continue for a little while, like a minute or less, and then stop randomly. This issue doesn't happen everytime, but been happening most times if I edit the speed graph. And I fix it by closing and reopening. I've reinstalled after effects when I first found out about this, and it seemed to fix it for a little. But the issue persists. I'm on Windows 10

Hello! I have a rigged character that is setup like this:- There is a primary comp in which you add your art to each body part and then adjust the spacing and position with some sliders; - There are multiple precomps with preset animations that automatically get updated with the art I added to this primary comp above; - When creating the head, I used a precomp, instead of a flat layer, so that I could rig the head, eyes, mouth, etc using Joysticks and Sliders. - In my Main comp, I use the premade animation compositions in the order I want and I pushed the controls of the Head rig to this comp.However, when I started animating the head, i noticed a problem. If I add, for example, a blink animation at 1s in the Main comp, I noticed that a blink happens at 1 second in every other premade animation. Everything I animate at the main comp gets replicated in all the other comps that have the head. I thought the controllers would affect only the Main comp, since i've pushed them there. Wh

Hi there, I'm building a MOGRT where the user would be able to replace a footage. Then, I would like to build a shape layer around this layer so I can have a specific kind of frame. All the expressions I wrote work perfectly fine in After Effects. However, when using the MOGRT in Premiere Pro and replacing the footage, it doesn't anymore. I guess this may be related to this kind of "virtual subsequence" Premiere is using to deal with the footage. The fact is that, even with a code as simple as this (on a text layer)...srat = thisComp.layer("MyFootage").sourceRectAtTime(time); ratio = srat.width / srat.height;...I can see the width / height / ratio values are not updating as they should. I tried to use a precomp as a workaround but with no effect. Hope I'm making this clear enough and that someone would have a workaround or at least that Adobe Video Team would provide more info or fix this. Best regards,Julien

For those of you with access to Envato, there are some characters that were created by Moriscopy.  They are for After Effects and they various poses and hand movements, and their mouths can move based on the wafeform of the voiceover.I am wanting to know if anyone knows how these characters were built.  Are they just puppets or are they something different.  I would like to learn how to build something like them to use in my job.Here is the link to Envato, so you can see an example of what I am referring to:https://elements.envato.com/presentation-with-amy-office-wear-VS9RBN4 Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.Greg

Hi community. Is there a plugin for AE, which creates loops for effects? My question is an ambiguous one today. AE has 100s of effects, and  each effect has different parameters making it difficult to figure out how to loop each individual effect. Even making layers into precomps and LoopingOut expression most times there will be a snapping frame when the animation effect jumps back to frame 1. So whats the best method to make effects which could loop seamless.  Another thougt is, why Abode hasnt implemented a feature in each of their effects settings, which enables the effect to have a loop setting. Thank you.  

Hello,I'm working on a AE extension that sends requests to a API. The API returns a .glb file formated in a really long https://assets.............. link How would I automaticaly have the extenstion download the link, save it in folder localy as a .glb file then add it to a open composition in Affter Effects?I think I need to have JavaScript and Exendscript download the link localy  and work together to make this hapen, but (how) is my question.

Slide in From Comp Edge Effect has a glitch. It does not allow to change the direction of reveal. I nthe menu of effects you can choose the direction: Left, Right, Top, Bottom. But the text animates in only from bottom. The change of option does not make any difference.

Hey, have tried Googling and searching Reddit and Adobe Community, but can't find anything relevant. Was following a project tutorial, and in the video, the creator sets an inner shadow size to 450, however mine caps at just 250. Only thing I could think of trying was a slider control, but while I can set the slider above the cap, the effect still gets capped. Anyone know why the value is capped for me, why its uncapped (or has a different cap) for him or how to change/override it? Thanks!

Does anyone know how to create a keyable (vector?) motion waveform for use in Adobe Premiere? I was wondering if there is a template. I'd like it to be the actual wave form of the audio recording that's playing under it. Basically, I'm trying to create a video where I layer the moving waveform on top of an image as it moves to the audio we're hearing.  Thanks for your help on this!

Hello, I am just learning ADOBE and tried to try to repeat some sticker effects from LOTTI, what do I need to do to make the effect display correctly? download some additional plugins? I am using the latest version of adobe

Good morning AE Support community, So yesterday I updated my AE App and before that AE worked smoothly and perfectly and after it was slow and laggy so I shut down my computer for the rest of the night and when I woke up it was fine for a mintue but then it gave me an error saying that  "After Effects warning: Cant use the Roto Brush tool because the "Paint" effect plugin is missing. You may need to reinstall."So now its back to being slow and laggy as a sloth and I think its because of the Retro Brush Tool and I need to use for a school assignment and it was working really well before the update so I would really like to fix this Immediately so I can get this assignment done as well as my other assingments that I have for this semester so ANY solutions that ANYONE has for this issue would be great and PLEASE share them with me immediately Thank you so much in advance,-VeVeGirl

If I install a font from Adobe Fonts or CC. I cannot get them to work in AE unless i restart AE. I have had success now and then hitting `refresh list` on the `Effects & Presets` panel. Alas most times that doesn't work. I do not have this problem with other Adobe Cloud Products like Illustrator, etc.It's really annoying. Especially when i am opening old projects/resources 

Hi guys!I found I can only have one OpenGL plugin initialized in an AE instance, if I have two different plugins which is based on AE GL SDK, I can only add the very first on a layer, if I attend to add another one, AE will showup plugin initialization error.

I have uninstalled Adobe completely. Now all that remains is the spyware in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe that I can't delete because it is constantly running. Someone, please help me delete this spyware ASAP.

In v25, whenever the Properties Panel appears, usually when I least want it to, it bogs down my system. It's like a ton of bricks just got loaded onto the back of geriatric AE. 

Hi all, I have been trying to solve this issue for days now and I cannot find ANY soultion no matter where I look. I am trying to empty the disk cache on After Effects, however the option is totally greyed out. I cannot click it, and when I try to clear it manually it has no effect. I have verified that it's the correct folder, as it's the one that's displayed in the disk cache preferences. I've tried everything and I am incredibly frustrated, as this affecting the storage on my computer as a whole, not just AE. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
