After Effects

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. Other folders sync fine. I reinstalled After Effects and Google Drive, but the issue persists. How can I fix this?

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 used shape to create a 3 second animation.But I don't know why Bodymovin render doesn't have any responseI opened Glyphs &Standard &SMIL(svg)No matter how long I waited, the progress bar didn't move.There is no file in the specified path.AE 2023bodymovin_v5.12.1Win 11

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。

I often run into performance issues when working with large, complex compositions in After Effects. Whether it’s lag during previews or long render times, I’m looking for strategies to improve efficiency. Any suggestions for optimizing settings, using proxies, or hardware upgrades? For those interested in learning more about the software's capabilities, I recommend checking out the After Effects documentation for some official tips and best practices.

After Effects 25.0.1 (Build 2).  HUGE INTERLACE BUG.  Adobe please fix. NTSC footage - when changing intrepretation from UPPER or LOWER FIELD or vice-versa, AFX still does not honor changes when reversing the interlace, as After Effects has always done.  Emptying the disk cache does not help.  I must save the project with the interlace interpretation change, quit After Effects, and when reopening the project fresh, only then is the interlace interpretation change executed. Big and quite annoying problem, as I'm constantly fighting to set the proper field order, and I'm used to After Effects immediately honoring and displaying the interlace change as always in the past.

Everytime I use After Effects it keeps on crashing show me an error of (Unable to allocate memory). Even on light task like animating the motion of simple text and image it's giving me an error of not enough memory. This makes it totally unusable since it'll only take 2 - 5 mins for it to show the error, crash and then restart the software.IDK what's causing this issue but I'm using a couple of plugins and it didn't cause these error in the past.Here are the list of  plugins installed* borisfx sapphire* Mister Horse* Deep Glow* Fx Console.Here's my systemWindows 10 Proi9 10850kRtx 4070 ti super64 GB Ram2* 2TB NVME M.2 Samsung 980 pro
