After Effects

Honestly, sometimes I think it is done on purpose. Why in gods name would this be the case after a minor update?I'm in full deadline mode now, my pc/mac updated and can't open my projectfile now!!!this is sick! 

Whenever I open aftereffects, it pops up with this message saying it couldn’t open GPUSniffer or something. AE has worked fine for about a year, and this is the first time its started happening, but it stops me from getting in or doing anything. GPU: AMD Ryzen RX 9060 XTCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

it’s this warning, may be some castomization wrong?

This has been broken for AGES Adobe... FIX IT.Just comes down to really bad code quality / poor software verification testing.

I downloaded the "Hand-Drawn Titles" mogrt (AdobeStock_230451463) from Adobe Stock, and I can't open it in AE. In fact, it is grayed out in Finder when I do try to import it. I'm using the latest versions of all Adobe products AE and Premer Pro still not opeing any suggestions Thanks. 

For the past week, I have been having issues with After Effects opening up.  It gets stuck on the splash screen and then stops responding after it Initializes Audio Devices.  I’ve always had issues with this program, but usually one of the usual tricks would get it working.  Downgrading to an earlier version, using the clean up tool (that doesn’t actually clean up everything), running as administrator, running with windows 8 compatibility, updating to the new drivers, downgrading to past drivers. I manually deleted every trace of adobe from my computer, and only then did it work briefly a few days ago.  However, I have not been able to get it working since.  I repeated the same steps I took the first time, but nothing.  And now I’ve been troubleshooting for the past 5-6 hours because I have a project I need to work on.I’ve tried all of the versions that are currently available on the creative cloud.  The only one that I got working, briefly, was version 26.0.  I’m on Windows 10, have a

When I use face tracking in After Effects 2026, all the markers disappear after tracking! What's wrong? It works fine in After Effects 2024.All those marker is no showing or no response after the tracking finished 

  It can be really frustrating when After Effects starts misbehaving. One of the most efficient ways to fix this is to reset After Effects preference files. Trashing preferences resets the program to its factory defaults.   Resetting preferences will undo most of your customization such as length of your default transitions, brightness of the user interface, labels colors, changes that you've made to your audio hardware settings and more. Some changes won't be affected though, such as changes that you've made to memory allocation for After Effects and other Adobe apps, new workspaces that you've created and some other stuff. It's worth noting that changes that you've made to existing workspaces (changes such as resizing panels and moving them) will be reset to defaults.   Preferences that you set for scratch disks, however, are saved with your projects. Whenever you open a project, it automatically defaults to the scratch disks you selected for it when you set up that p

After effects will not launch, last thing on splash screen is mediacore, not even as admin in safe mode with no 3rd party plugins and reset preferences.Posted here because it seemed to start when using After Effects, but no Adobe video apps will load. AfterFX 25.4 and 23.6, PPro 25.4 and 23.6.8, Media Encoder 25.4 all crash at splash screen. Photoshop loads OK, but I thought Creative Cloud app was very sluggish for a while too, though now it's OK. Dell XPS 15 9520, i7-12700H, 64GB RAM, RTX 3050 laptopWindows 11 24H2 latest update KB5063878After Effects 25.4 and 23.6Premiere 25.4 and 23.6.8Media Encoder 25.4 I don't use many scripts or plugins, but had recently installed a script "DuplicateFrameRemover.jsxbin" into After Effects by copying this file into Support Files/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels. It worked well for a day or two across restarts. When this problem occurred I removed but issue persisted. If this didn't cause it then this is pretty random, but there are

I want to do exactly this same effect in the face:https://youtu.be/bHs86ImDkbs?si=B_oRnFmehUjYUUo9&t=20What i tried SO FAR in my AE 2022:https://i.gyazo.com/08d0171dc6d15c86e86dc97022bd9b7a.pngBut it's not the same result, any tips? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a recurring issue: it involves create and animate an environment light layer with shadows enabled and even more when it has keyframes in a 3D scene. I’m unable to export a composition that uses the environment light. And when my composition has more than five layers, I can’t create an environment light layer with shadows enabled. After Effects crashes. How can I fix this?

Hello, I have read the other forum posts on this topic and would like to highlight my own.My issue is similar to this one. I haven’t tried running AE in admin as I am using my work computer, but moving the file to a local drive did NOT work. My company avoids cloud-based services because we use our own internal networks (could THAT be the reasoning? IDK) I received a SolidWorks .glb file from one of our engineers over email. I downloaded it and when importing the .glb to AE was met with this message.  My first guess was that this was because the file was downloaded from our internal email server. However when I received the .glb directly on a USB stick, it was still unable to import. Perhaps there is an incompatibility with SolidWorks’ export settings? I can successfully import .glbs downloaded from 3D model websites. I am able to open the .glb files in Adobe Dimension with no issue. I am also to able export from Dimension as an .glb, .gltf, and .obj, all of which successfully import t

Latest version of After Effects never opened, always crashes at startup. 

Dear Adobe Support Team,I am facing a recurring issue while launching Adobe After Effects on my workstation. The error message displayed is:"After Effects warning: Unable to create AGM font ('Adobe Clean' - 'Bold') Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700 @ 2.10 GHzInstalled RAM: 16 GB (15.7 GB usable)System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorOperating System: [Mention your Windows version, e.g., Windows 10 Pro]After Effects Version: [Mention AE version, e.g., After Effects 2024Since none of these steps resolved the problem, I would appreciate your guidance on how to fix this issue.

Hi,I ABSOLUTELY need to reopen a project created under AFX 24.1 (because of CINEWARE), but this version is not accessible via Adobe Creative Cloud.How can I retrieve it, please?This is very important and quite urgent… :(Thank you in advance if you can help me!

Recently, After Effects seems to want an demand more RAM from my PC whereas before I would be able to do the work I needed to do and even sometimes more advanced ones without a hitch but now even a small animation seems to not work. Before my CPU upgrade, I was even able to have a couple tabs on FireFox playing but now even with everything turned off it seems to struggle immensely and introduce a lot of lag spikesI recently upgrade my CPU from the Ryzen 3600 to a 5700X while keeping my 32gb RAM and RTX 3060 while also made the jump from Windows 10 to 11. I never had this kind of issue before and I was wondering why does After Effects wants more now compared to before when I clearly made an objectively good upgrade for the sake of performance

Hi SDK team and fellow plugin devs,I'd like to get a definitive answer on whether dynamically toggling PF_PUI_INVISIBLE on PF_Param_GROUP_START topics is part of the supported PF API surface, or if it's effectively undefined behavior.ContextI'm building a native PF effect (AE-style, AE SDK 25.6, Skeleton-based, universal binary) that exposes a variable number of editable sub-groups in the Effect Controls Panel — up to 100 topic groups in the worst case. The pattern I'm using is the textbook one:1. At PF_Cmd_PARAMS_SETUP, declare all 100 PF_Param_GROUP_START / PF_Param_GROUP_END pairs (each enclosing ~10 child params) with ui_flags |= PF_PUI_INVISIBLE on every entry.2. As the user creates events, dynamically clear PF_PUI_INVISIBLE on the relevant GROUP_START/GROUP_END/children via PF_UpdateParamUI() during PF_Cmd_UPDATE_PARAMS_UI.3. Same call also reasserts PF_PUI_INVISIBLE on the still-unused groups, with force_update on every tick.Initial render is correct: only the active groups are

When importing a .psd file as a composition, I receive the message: "Encountered errors while importing selected items. 1) After effects error: Illegal XML character “” in string “[file path]”.

I have an image and a video that I positioned on the comp after scaling both down so they are positioned how I want them.  I now want to scale both items down so they are real small so I can keyframe them both scaling up together. I will use parenting to get them both to scale up together How do I scale both of them in proportion to a small size? Is there a way to group them both to do this? They are not yet keyframed Thanks  

Hi guys ! I have an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with 32gb and my After Effects is still very slow when editing. I’ve tried every tips AI gave me but it sadly doesn’t change anything… I use Twixtor, Sapphire and BCC a lot, which would be a reason why it’s slow but i don’t know… Thank you so much for your help. 😁

Hi, I have a problem that already fixed by myself but better if it's fixed by the developers.So when i update my audio on a comp and then go outside the comp, i see my waveform still used the old audio waveform not the new audio that i just puted in to the comp.The solution is to turn off and then turn on again the audio icon on the comp and then it fixed, the audio waveform just updated.i Think the old version doesnt have this kind of problem before, so please help us fix this little bug, cuz this bug sometimes anoying for who dont know yet.
