After Effects

Good evening Community,  I created an Earth with VC Orb. To make clouds more "realistic" and to get total controll of the cloud-behavior, I created some Clouds by using VC Orb with Turbulent Noise and Turbulent Displace.  Optically I have to tewak here and there, but there's a huge problem with the cloud layer itself. While I use 3 static versions of clouds that I simply link to the earth rotation, I have a rotation issue with the Turbulent Noise Layer. When I rotate it by X-Position in VC Orb, there's an ugly scar at 180°, because there is no seamless border to the left and the right.  So my Idea was: I link the Earths X-Rotation to the Turbulent Displaces displacement value. But how? I understand, that I have to convert the angles degrees to position values. But how can I do that? I want the Turbulent Noise Clouds to move exact in the speed of the earth rotation. As I would simply link the X-position of the cloud to the X-position of the earth model

Hola! Simpre he arrastrado composiciones de after en premiere sin problemas, siemplemente arrastrando las composiciones o el bin con las composiciones al proyecto de Premiere sin problemas. Estoy trabajando con un proyecto de after effects que ya no me permite hacer eso, simplemente no aparecen (ni una sola) pero tampoco me dice ningun tipo de error. Simplemente no lo hace. (tampoco funciona el importar usando dynamic link importar composiciones de after effects. tira error.)Se que es el proyecto de after Effects porque lo he probado con varios proyectos de premiere y no funciona y también he importado composiciones desde otros proyectos de after y puedo importar arrastando varias composiciones sin problemas.- Alguien sabe que puede ser lo que ocasiona esta fallo ?

Hej Guys :), i want to know if there is a way to implement photoshop layer comps in AE ?i couldn't find anything about it. It would be cool, if there is a script or mechanic to use the ps layer comp feature in AE. 🙂 Hopefully someone can help me. Cheers and thx !!

I'm getting some strange glitches in my plugin I'm developing when using MFR. This effect calls for many random numbers every frame to generate boxes and place them in random positions. It's a relatively simple plugin so there's not much more to it than that. However, when caching for a preview, some frames have the boxes in the same position as the previous frame. If I disable MFR from Settings - > Preferences -> Memory & Performance it goes away and every frame has correct random box positions. So that's how I'm assuming it has to do with MFR. I'm not using any out of the box functions just your bases srand() for see initialization and rand() for generating a new number. I even tried a thread-safe random generator but the issue persists: int intRand(const int & min, const int & max) { static thread_local std::mt19937 generator; std::uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(min,max); return distribution(generator); } 

Hi There, When undoing a recently applied effects preset, AE also closes the Effects Panel folder structure. This makes testing presets incredibly tedious. Is there a way to stop undo from also closing Effects Panel folders? Or is there another way to test presets that allows you to quickly remove and apply them? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben - MacOS 13.6.7- AE 24.6.0 (Build 69)

Hi There, very green when it comes to this stuff so sorry if easy. Is there an expression that will add a slight pause to the typewriter write-on text effect whenever there's a comma? Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated. Cheeers, Ben

Help please! Know how to rotate a 3d object with camera, but unsure how to rotate camera around object? Trying to use camera to do a 360 orbit around stationary 3d car, but failing! Im obviously missing something as should be straightforward?

Just upgraded to AE 2022 and its not linked to AME. The whole thing is messed up, tried so many things. Anyone found a way around this?

Adobe After Effects 2022 is stuck on Initializing Required Components. It's worked fine for months now. Then randomly last night, I quit out of AE. Attempted to re-open it and it was stuck on the splash screen: "Initializing Required Components."  I tried to google the solution but didn't find what I wanted. Someone suggested it had to do with a lot of fonts being installed. And I had installed a weird arrow font that day, So I deleted a bunch of fonts. Restarted my Apple computer. The issue persisted. I took the media core folder and dragged it to the desktop. Tried to go back into AE and the issue was still there. I got live support to remote into my computer. They put ".old" text at the end of some folders that had to do with settings, they did some other stuff like force quit out of coresync in the activity monitor. and i was back in! So I dragged the media core folder back to where it belonged and the issue came back instantly! I removed the media core folder. that didnt work

Hey,So for some reason, when I try to use a specific style of a Font family (in this case, Fakt Pro is the font family, I specifically use Fakt pro Semibold), After Effects won't list all the options.Fakt Pro shows up as a font option, but I can only choose "Normal" as an option, not Bold, Thin, Semibold, etc.But I don't have this problem with Premiere and Photoshop. In Premiere and photoshop, I can choose all the styles just fine.This is really messing me up, as it has to be Semibold, and if I have to make the text in photoshop first, that severely limits the range of animations I can do. I don't understand why AE can read the font but only SOME of it, while its two sister programs can read them all just fine.

I have tried to access two projects from a year ago, both of which are using geolayers 3, and there are multiple layers that are not visible when I open the project. I didn't know if it was a version issue problem or what?  All layers with the issue exist above the mapcomp in the Composition.  If I reset the transform settings, I can see them in some capacity, but I need them to be exactly how they were a year ago. It was possible the preferences were changed in GEOlayers 3 since then, or we are using a different Map Tiler?  I don't see why these things might make the transform settings not exist in a certain space. Any help would be much appreciated!  Thank you!!

Has anyone found a HDR Limiter Plugin for Adobe After Effects that works? I am often required to suppy UHD HDR content in Rec.2020 color space (ST2084 gamma), but that is limited to P3 gamut. There are times when image anaysis tools like MTI Film Cortex or Colorfront Transkoder report that the maximum gamut level has been exceeded with a HDR gamut target of P3 on renders that come straight ot of After Effects. Currently, I have to import all these AE renders in to Davinci Resolve and use their "Gamut Limiter" color FX. This takes time and disk space.FF Pictures have been promising something for ages, but it still doesn't work on recent releases of AE. https://ff.de/hdr_limiter_plugin/Any help with this workflow would be sincerely appreciated.  

Hello everybody, an issue has arised In my After Effects 2022 right now. For some reason none of the controls for any effects or plugins is appearing; it's just shown as blank. I've restarted my computer, quit after effects, and try to make a new project but none of it is working. Does anybody know how to fix this?   

 Suddenly, this week, my After Effects became super slow. I checked the project files, and they seem fine on other computers. I noticed that aerendercore is using 120-200% of my CPU. This issue started out of nowhere, and it's urgent because I use AE for work. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?

Computer: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) with OS SierraGraphics Radeon Pro 580 8192 MBRAM: 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4Processor: 3.8 GHz Intel Core i5 I have been character animating in the most recent version of After Effects. I assigned multiple layers to a parent layer. I added 3 pins to child layer shape. Before animating the pins, I repositioned the parent layer and its contents out of frame so it could slide in and set my key frames accordingly. When I played back my animation, an outline of the shape I had pinned appeared in front of that layer, not on any of the other layers in front or behind. The outline did not follow the shape – it was fixed in place and was only visible when the shape moved behind it, causing it to stand out from the background. This "phantom" outline is in the same position the shape was in when I originally placed the pins. I erased my animations and moved the parent layer out of frame to its intended starting position, but I could only apply the Puppet effect t

I installed after effects v24.6.2 yesterday. I imported a video file, while I click import it started lagging and got crashed. Before that I used 23 version it woked completely perfect. So its not my system problem. Windows and GPU drivers are up to date. Not only that video, I downloaded another video from envato elements and imported it. I got the same problem. I opened my previous version's workfiles, it worked good but slight lag. When I supposed to import the file, the same crash happened.  I changed my preference, RAM total-32GB. For after effects 26GB.Cache file memory expaned to 100GBcleared all cache files and also temp files in my PC.I changed preview to faster in both and adaptive resolution to interactivity.Turned on and off GPU accelerated settings.Reinstalled many times.Used beta version same crash happened. Somebody help me on this. Thanks 

Bonjour à tous, J'étais en train de travailler sur première pro avec AE ouvert en dynamic link pour quelques images détourrées au roto pinceau, quand la prévisualisation de PPRO a planté. Je l'ai donc redemarré, mais AE n'a pas aimé et a planté également dans la foulée. Depuis impossible de l'ouvrir à nouveau sans avoir ce message d'erreur et d'autres qui suivent me disant qu'AE va être fermé. le message d'erreur suivant m'indique que les outils externes du roto pinceau ne sont pas installés et que je dois les réinstaller. J'ai donc désinstallé AE et quand j'ai voulu le réinstaller, impossible. Cela n'arrêtait pas de planter avant la fin. J'ai fini par éteindre le pc un moment, puis le relancer, et là ça a fonctionné, sauf que l'erreur du roto pinceau est toujours là !! Je ne peux plus travailler sur mes projets et c'est vraiment très embettant !!!Aidez-moi svp ! Merci d'avance

My 4k material i downloaded on line isnt visibile when imported into after effects it shows just a black screen on the composition. 1080p works fine... if the same material works 1080 that means this should be an easy fix but I cant get it to work by purging and the strangest thing..... the eye for visibility is not clickable... like its an audio file? but the video opens in VLC movie player  

after effects 2022 maxing out memory and my cpu usage peaked at 96% only whilst caching a project file thats pretty much empty. i tried after effects 2020 and the memory spiked there aswell. ive had after effects for over 2 years and this has never happened to me before. 

Hello!I have been trying to open a few older projects, and when I do I keep getting the same dialogue box : After Effects Warning: Illegal Command SequenceI have to hit OK over 50+ times (the box just keeps popping back up), and once it finally goes away, the project just closes. I am unable to access the project in any way.Does anyone have any advise on how I can get these projects to open?I have had success opening these projects on a coworkers computer, which leads me to believe there is something wrong with my after effects program. I have also uninstalled and re-installed after effects. I am running the latest CC version.Thank you!

Updated to 23.0 and my project will no longer render with the C4D renderer. Extrusing and rotating text. The Add-on is showing it's installed though.   After Effects (23.0) Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2        

I developed a AE plugin using Xcode in the Mac platform. it work fine on my Macbook pro.But when I copy the product "MyPlugin.plugin" to other Mac, it doesn't work. It always come this error, when AE launch:Error loading /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin (87): dlopen(/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin, 0x0106): tried: '/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin' (code signature in <XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX> '/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin' not valid for use in process: library load disallowed by system policy), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin' (no such file), '/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2023/Plug-ins/MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugin' (cod

Hello and good day! I am new to Element 3D and it is my 2nd day trying to use it. Though I came across a problem yesterday. I am trying to make a 3D model out of a transparent emoji PNG using Element 3D. I have auto-traced the PNG, added a black solid on top, and then added Element. My auto-traced PNG: Here is what I did in Element 3D: Then I opened Scene Setup. Everything else was working fine until I extrude > extrusion model > bevel > texture - diffuse. Instead of showing my image / PNG in the diffuse tab, it only showed the same plain black view. Here: What it looks like (which looks normal): Diffuse:Diffuse showing empty preview: See, nothing has happened. Even when I chose Custom Layer 1 (PNG name). It still shows a black image under diffuse tab, and nothing has happened to my model! But what's weird is, when I clicked OK, the PNG has appeared in the model! But it didn't, when it was in the scene setup! Though, the PNG seems distor

Hi, I few days ago I started to have problems with AE because it didn't open, it only send me and Error Window and them told me to send the information to adobe. I thought that it was because I didn't update to AE 2022, so I update the program, and now when I try to open AE it shows me 2 error, first said "After Effects Error: Error in progress. The last message recorded was: <17956> <APIP> <5> bdb925e8-9e38-4da1-b0bd-172e7a281a08. After this error, it shows me another one that said "After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects Help and Support, go to http: //www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_support. If you still can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).

I already Uninstalled AE and Installed again.I did this: https://helpx.adobe.com/mx/after-effects/kb/crash-16-1-2.html and it didn't work. I don't know what else to do, I'm really frustr
