After Effects

Im trying to create a jsx file. I thought you did this out of the Adobe Extendscript Toolkit, which appears to no longer be available in the app manager. I changed the preferences to show older apps, still isnt showing up. Does anyone know what the issue is? Is there another way to create a jsx file?

hello. I bought After Effects, went to my personal account to download, and it tells me "Does not work on this device". My system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D , RTX 4070 ti super, 62 gb RAM and windows 11 pro (23H2)

There have been other posts about this issue, but I wanted to explain my situation for faster problem solving. When I turn any layer into 3d with the 3d icon, I get this error message and then it crashes. Sometimes it's both or just the second one.  Now usually when I get a a bug I was always able to find something in the discussions, but nothing is working for me. Following are the things that I've tried to resolve the issue. - removing and reinstalling AE- updating graphic driver- starting in safe mode, with or without any 3rd party plugins- starting as admin- trying other versions of AE (24.x or beta)- saving as new file when it crashes and makes you save- purging all memory/ disk cache- disabling the iGPU Here are the specs of my desktop12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700 2.10 GHz128GB(128GB 사용 가능)64비트 운영 체제, x64 기반 프로세서  I don't think RAM or disk cache is the problem. Because after I updated AE to 25 version it was noticably very slow I cleared u

I have six computers running the Adobe CC2019 suite.  They all exhibit this behavior. It started small and has become worse ever since. The problem:If i have a Photoshop file (.psd) in an After Effects 2019 project, then use "Edit Original" (CTRL-E) to have the file open in Photoshop for editing, I get the error..."After Effects error: cannot locate an application to open [file name].psd.   (1 :: 77)"Beyond that, when opening a .psd file from Windows 10 by double-clicking it, I will sometimes be asked by Windows what program I want to use to open it. I can choose Photoshop and check the box for "Always use this program for this filetype". But, moments later I will get the same prompt when opening another .psd file. I've also tried to set the default application for .psd files in Windows from the Default App Settings.  It currently says the "Windows Picture Viewer" is the default application for .psd files. When I try to change it and select Photoshop CC2019 for the

Hi,I'm running after effects on a XPS 9710 17 i7 UHD 64 Gb ram,RTX 30602 Tb SSD Hard drive. The machine is clean, nothing else on the laptop apart from the adobe suit.I recently installed the latest after effects and dowloaded some footage to try out and I've experienced nothing but choppy footage. I've watched several hours of youtube videos and have played around with the setting in preference, adjusted acceleration and reduced resolution etc etc and nothing seems to work.I have an older MSI laptop with the same latest after effects on and strangely the footage runs smoothly on that machine so I compied over the the same setting in preferences and composition settings and still there's no change. I changed the file ext from Mp4 to mov but that has made no difference and none of the other video footage, avi's etc seem to work either.  The footage frame rate is at 25 as is the time line, no adjustment appears to make any difference.After several hours I'm at a loss here. The resul

Is it possible to import individual Compositions from a external .aep-Project?It is very easy to import a complete Project-Folder with  app.project.importFile(new ImportOptions(projectFile)); but what if i would like to iterate through the compositionsof the desired project, i.e. searching for a composition by a specific compositionName that will be imported to the project.  

Hi,I want a shape layer to take its position value from its  'skew' property. so I write expressions but its not working. I know am making some kind of mistakes as am still learning.  shape layer's (shadow of mountain)  X value should be fixed only Y will move according to skew. But no way its working. Please guide me. I tried manullay to animate the position value. but  no beauty in the movement. My eyes hurting seeing my own work 😠 please guide me. please.  

I opened an after effects file from the 'Edit original' option in Premiere, made some edits, saved the AE file and the AE file completely disappeared. The file is nowhere to be found in Finder, trash, or on google drive in general. Help anyone?

After effects 25.1 오류 노트북에서 작업하던 aftrereffects 파일이 안에 구성물들까지 다 깔끔히 들고와서 새 데스크탑에 After effects를 설치했는데 NVIDIA GRAPHIC은 업데이트하였는데 그 이후로 저 알림이 뜬 후에 작업을 편집할수없습니다 혹시 해결방안을 아시는 분이 있나요..?

 im changing a layer to a 3d layer here,  but it is giving me an icon i havent seen before, with 3 arrows instead of the usual one with a little cubewhen i rotate the layer it also doesnt seem to behave the same,  as in,  the comp will rotate, but the images inside the comp remain fixed as though they were not 3d  any ideas?

Hi all: Thought I would start with I figured to be an easy tutorial with some scrolling text, like hacker terminal FX, and with that being said, I was following along and had to put some expressions in the postion area. Well one of them is really not liked by the program and seeing I am just starting out, I have no clue what it wants or how to go around it--this is what I was to imput:pLine=this.sourceRectAtTime(time).height;scaler=(transform.scale[1]/100);value-[0,pLine*scaler];SO basically as the text scrolls, it updates and scrolls up, but that surely doesn't happen at all. The program does like the first line, and only the first line.....so dunno what to do, just thought this would be a first fun outing. It just says that sourceRectAtTime() is not a function....of what?? Best regards,AJ 

It is so cool these days that Adobe After Effects supports 3D objects directly. Being able to import GLB, GLFT and OBJ models makes animation so much easier. But if you are not a 3D model creator, making a colour change to a downloaded model is not something that you can do in AE. Except, you can.   There are a couple of different ways to apply effects to models and I break down what you need to do for each. Starting with the simplest option of an Adjustment Layer combined with a Track Matte. Then I compare this to using an Ambient Light as an additional light source set to a colour of your choosing. Personally I thought this yielded a better result.   Next, I take a look at remaking the textures using Element3D and to be honest, I think the result was a little disappointing compared to what you can now do natively. I still love Element3D, but on this occasion, it didn't hold up in comparison. So finally, I demonstrate how to use Blender to create a 3D Luma Matte versio

Once I use the Roto Brush to highlight an object, I am stuck with the error message: "Roto Brush 2 Initializing Adobe Sensei Propagation Module". The preview does not progress past the first frame and AE will usually crash if I try to click anywhere. I have seen the same problem fixed by transcoding from MP4 to QuickTime, but this has not changed anything for me (unless I have misunderstood what this means). I have previously used the Roto Brush without much difficulty and on MP4 files from Premiere Pro, so I don't know what has changed. AE Version 23.6.0Windows 11Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8350U CPU @ 1.70GHz 1.90 GHzInstalled RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)

When i click new project, there are no panels at all, it is just a black screen

When I add a 3d element in glb format I can't see it in the workspace, I need a quick solution to the problem plz! 

ever time i start up ae I get crash in progress last logged message was: 4716 <GPUmanger>  <2> sniffer result code 3. I even tried downgrading my version. Still same error

I am trying to make a parallax scene, i did setup the scene, converted them into 3d, arranged every image and bg in 3d space and when i used the camera to create a parllax effect. So i noticed as the camera is getting closer to scene my images are floating on the floor, which kinda looks bad. Can anyone help me to solve this issue, ASAP !!!!P.S :- I added the video too, in which if you focus on the bottom of images(legs) are floating on the floor as the camera moves.

hey (: i have a drone shot with a driving car across it (top to bottom). i want to have the car "revealing" text "written" on the road but i cant seem to get it perfectly like i want.heres an image of the relevant part of the shoti tried using all adobe softwares like many tutorials said - combing Illustaror and photoshop and after effects and premiere but i just cant actually get it the way i wantthe most frustorating part is that i did that 4 years ago! so any help would be much appriciated  thank you ❤️

Hello AllI have a question when using c++ to develop AE export plug-in,Set the mask in AE and use AEGP_GetLayerNumMasks to query the number of masks,The return value is 0,The specific code is as follows：AE Version: 2025System version: M3 Pro,macOS 15.3 A_long numMasks = 0; RECORD_ERROR(suites.MaskSuite6()->AEGP_GetLayerNumMasks(layerHandle, &numMasks)); for (int i = 0; i < numMasks; i++) { AEGP_MaskRefH maskHandle; RECORD_ERROR(suites.MaskSuite6()->AEGP_GetLayerMaskByIndex(layerHandle, i, &maskHandle)); auto mask = ExportMask(context, maskHandle); masks.push_back(mask); RECORD_ERROR(suites.MaskSuite6()->AEGP_DisposeMask(maskHandle)); }Has anyone encountered similar problems?

When I trim my layers, There are still greyed out areas that show and I can adjust itHow do I disable this

I know this has been posted before, but I've been having major issues with runaway memory use in AE 23.1. I'm using a M1 Max 16 inch Macbook Pro with 64gb. Running a fairly simple project with some pre-rendered .movs with alpha channels comped into scenes using Illustrator assets. Will run fine for 20-30 minutes before the system gets overloaded and I'm out of memory. You can see how much was getting used when it last crashed - 432gb!! Wasn't an issue before M1 native update... looks like I'll be going back to an older version of AE for now 

So I've been having this problem where some of the png images in a sequence are missing. When importing a png sequence from another software (Toon Boom Harmony) I faced this problem. So I attached some files to demonstrate the problem. In a 24fps file I numbered every frame with a total of 68. I exported them as a png sequence and everything was alright until I imported it in AE in 24fps composition. Few images were missing, making the footage not 68 frames long in AE
