After Effects

Just a question really , is it possible to use the warpomatic effect in between every frame in a comp? if so how?thanks

Hi,I'm interested in the Filmstrip export function which I think was dropped from After Effects after CS4 and I think from Premiere after CS3.I realise that it's possible to draw on top of video frame by frame in the Photoshop CC2018 Timeline - and that's great, it's a very useful feature.However I was trying to create a distressed effect across a video where precision as part of the process was not the priority - a little like in this music videoStupid Girl by Garbagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhPUAVgHZcWorking frame by frame in the Photoshop CC2018 Timeline would have been too time consuming to achieve something like this.But I found that dealing with all the frames as a single large image was more practical.I'm still relatively new to After Effects so if there's any better way of doing what I describe below, please let me know as I'd be interested to hear about it.This link (which I think belongs to Adobe) has the older versions of After Effects / Premiere / Photoshop that sti

Can anyone help me why I'm getting color bars in AE? Thanks. Mike

Hi, Just ran through probably 4th session with the AI to try to solve this issue, but "we" just can not solve it. I have a shape layer path that defines a frontline on a battle map. It is defined by even hundreds of individual vertices and some keyframes that then shows frontline changes through time. There are days where the frontline on the battle map does not change, even though in reality it does. So I have the vertices and keyframes defined on those static days without any changes, with the same value. What my goal is, is to use an expression (or a script?) to have it "ignore" the keyframes where there are no vertice movements, and get it to basically skip showing static vertices (with same values) on neighboring keyframes, and link vertices only with the next vertice that has a change in its value. So to have a continual and smooth animation.Assuming I explained this well, is this something that AE can achieve via expressions/scripts, or does something like that ha

I don't know if the title makes sense, but I installed some scripts on After Effects, and some of them are bigger than my screen resolution and I can't access some options.I just need to find a way to scroll down and see the rest of the panel to use the scripts properly.My screen resolution is 1366x768.  Thanks!!

1. I have a simple text layer.  2. I have a rectangle shape layer. 3. I alpha matte inverted the shape to the text so that the text is black on the white rectangle. 4. I have this red texture that I want to alpha matte to just the rectangle, while still keeping the text black. 5.  But when I do that, the rectangle is covered by the texture but the text is hidden. I just want my black text to show on this new alpha matted rectangle with the red texture. I need to use alpha mattes to acheive this effect as I'm trying to do something else with this premise. Why doesn't it work, a tutorial I'm following shows these exact steps to get this result. What am I doing wrong??? This is the result I want to acheive.

In After Effects, "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" and "Zoom with Trackpad (pinch in/out gesture)" work inconsistently. When zooming with the scroll wheel, it functions relative to the center of the composition area, whereas when zooming with a trackpad (pinch in/out), it works relative to the pointer, which is inconsistent and annoying.The same issue occurs in Photoshop, but it works vice versa for some reason.In Illustrator, zooming works fine; it always zooms in and out relative to the pointer, regardless of the pointing device being used.  Zoom with Scroll Wheel works relative toZoom with Trackpad works relative to After EffectscenterpointerPhotoshoppointercenterIllustratorpointerpointer Please, pay attention to this issue and fix it. Make zooming in After Effects and Photoshop same good and consistent as in Illustrator when using different input devices. After Effects: Photoshop:: Illustrator:

Hi,for rigging a character its important to keep arms/hand positions exactly where I kept them in the first place. I dnt feel good when I see things  shift position after applying region of interest. Is there any way I can apply region of interest and after cropping my precomp will stay exactly where it was originally?Thank you. 

Greetings all.I've been racking my brains out for the past couple of hours trying to acheive this effect (please see video).Can anyone help?

Hello, I am wondering if any changes made in Illustrator like creating new layers will be reflected in the After Effects file? What I am noticing is that any changes made to existing layer is reflected in the AE file but if I add new layers with text/shape to the Ai file, those are not reflected in the AE file.  Is there a way to make all the changes made in the Ai file reflect in the AE file simultaneously? Thank you! 

Hallo zusammen,  ich habe das Problem, dass nachdem ich einen Hintergrund mit dem Rotopinsel entfernt und durch einen anderen Hintergrund ersetzt habe, dass beim Rendern das Objekt teilweise immer mal wieder transpartent wird, beim Abspielen in After Effects sieht alles aus wie es soll, die zusätzlichen transparenten Momente werden beim Rendern produziert.Welche Rendereinstellung kann hier das Problem sein, bzw. das Problem beheben?Danke

Since I have upgraded to 2022 when ever I add Particular to a layer then click the Designer tab AE crashes. I hae uninstalled both but it still happens, I even installed an older version but it still crashes, If I open an old project it still crashes. Sent the report with my email but Adobe are ignoring it and cant get any help from the support.

Just learning AE and trying to use fonts associated with a tutorial. Fonts installed ok in my Windows 10 system but not properly recognised by AE.  Attached vid has audio.

Hi, I couldn't find anything in forum (correct me if I'm wrong), regarding storing data on global level. So, my question is, what is the way to do this? I would like to save some random numbers in an array or std::vector and then use them only once in render function, I don't want to call random function each frame, so I need to save it in global variable. SDK Guide doesn't really explain this from what I could find. Thanks in advance!

I’m working in After Effects and I’m trying to get a solid color to match between my MP4 outputs and still frame JPEGs. There’s a slight shift that’s visible when comparing them. Is there some color profile sorcery I need to figure out or is this just tilting at windmills?    Screencap: slight color shift with the blue if you compare top left corner to right corner.  

PC and Mac have the same versions of the apps and I can open the AE project in both apps on a Mac. The PC will not open the linked file and displays two error messages when I open the AE.1.  After Effects error: Error attempting to duplicate a text object. skipping the text layer.  (76::53)2: After Effects warning: your project file is apparently damaged (skipped sections: 1). Please save using a different name. (26::0)I I saved using a different file name and it did not work. Mac OS Sonoma 14.61 Apple M1 Ultra 64 GBPC Windows 11 latest version 

Question: Why is the first (only so far) layer of footage in my comp moving or trimming itself by a frame as soon as I add Roto Brush? Is that supposed to happen, or is it a bug? How can I make it stop? Specs/info:Windows 10AE 24.6.1, comp 30 fps(Dynamic Link comp from Premiere Pro 24.6.1, sequence 30 fps)Footage: Prores 30 fpsRotobrush 3.0 Please see screen recording: https://vimeo.com/1007529137/4f4cd7638a?share=copy

I am working on an urgent project which is an infographic style animation created in Aftereffects. This basically has most of the elements on a large board and then a camera layer that moves from one area to another. The various mini animations are created in their own compositions and the added to the composition called artboad (I'll attached a couple of screen grabs)It seemed to fall down at a certain point - so I removed a composition (by trial and error) and that seems to do the trick, but now it is failing at another point.I have looked to help on line and followed ideas like CPU only rendering - moving the cache to an external disk etc.I have also used media encoder to try and export as a H264I would really appreciate some help.The error is:------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 02:39:0007/21/2018 07:01:06 AM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender retu

I downloaded a After effects custom colouring preset, but when I use it, the presets for the colourista and mojo in Looks doesn't work, but everything else such as LUT's, etc, does. How do I fix this? 

I’m currently having some trouble figuring out how to animate certain elements of the infographic I’m working on. Could you please provide me with some suggestions or guidance on how best to approach this?

Hello, I am using after effects 24 (latest version). My after effects is crashing really frequently. Whenever I try to playback a project it crashes. Sometimes I download templates from envato and whenever I try to playback the video after effects crashes.  Even when I try to render it crashes as well. Sometimes I have to render 20-30 times to complete a video to render. Sometimes my whole system crashes and shows "sorry your pc ran i nto some issues' and restarts. I have tried every solution given on youtube but nothing seems to work. I have everything orignal like windows and adobe softwares as well. Is this a hardware issue?  My pc specs are: Intel Core i7 14 gen 14700K 64 gb ddr5 ramDeepcool LE720 360MM Lquied CPU COOLERGeForce RTX 4070 OC EDITION DEEPCOOL DQ850M-V3L 850W Power SupplyAsus PRIME Z790 Motherboard. Please help me.

Hi There,Looking for some advice on the best way to achieve the below. I want the triangles to move along the path and be equally spaced and loop infinitely. I have them moving along the path but I'm having trouble finding the best way to ensure they are equally spaced (other than manually seperating them individually in a pre comp) is there an expression or a tutorial for how to achieve this.Thanks very much in advance!
