After Effects

hello! i just downloaded ae again in my new laptop and added a new sapphire plugin. i was about to edit and i decided to use one of my presets that included the effect s_shake, but it lightly glitches everytime i activate the motion blur effect.  However it only does when i use a preset. I've tried recreating the preset through the effect panel but it still did not work. Please help! 😭🫶🏼

Hi all:Apologies if this is a super simple question. I just haven't been able to find an answer in the forums or on the web.Taking on a project from another studio and we're trying to figure out all the missing files and relinking them. One of the issues I'm having is that I can't seem to right click on the File Path column to copy the file path. We're sending the paths to the previous studio by email to request the missing media.Is there another way to copy the file paths? Or even better, to batch get all the missing file paths?We're currently using After Effects 2015.ThanksM

Hi, I recently began working on my home computer (A Windows PC) and have been using files I formerly worked on in the office (on a Mac). When openning AE files with Photoshop documents embedded in them, I'm getting the error "Photoshop Library operation failed" once for each layer in the file, and then all fail to load, and connot be relinked. I have no idea what's going on, as the files open perfectly fine on the Mac at my office and I believe both machines are running the same versions. Google hasn't been helpful, and I don't know what else to try. I have tried: alloting more space for both disk chache and memory, reinstalling after effetcs, and installing and older version of  AE (17.5.1), all to no avail.Help?

Is it possible to install al older version of After Effects on Mac iOS 10.15.7? The button for older versions is not available in the Adobe app

Is a script that create a compositing with 3 layers, all works, but can't make to open the compositingI tried different codes for internet app.project.activeItem and app.project.numItems and no one open a compositing  //*````function createCompositionWithShapes() { app.beginUndoGroup("Create Composition with Shapes"); // Create a new composition var comp = app.project.items.addComp("ColorComp", 1920, 1080, 1, 10, 30); // Create shape layers var shapes = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"]; var colors = [[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]]; // RGB colors for Red, Green, Blue for (var i = 0; i < shapes.length; i++) { var shapeLayer = comp.layers.addShape(); shapeLayer.name = shapes[i]; // Create a shape group var shapeGroup = shapeLayer.property("Contents").addProperty("ADBE Vector Group"); var shape = shapeGroup.property("Contents").addProperty("ADBE Vector Shape - Ellipse"); shape.property("Size").setVal

Hey guys! i always wanted to know how can i learn those kind of camera moves on this first 30 seconds from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwsMiMBjCKcSomeone can give me a light how can i make those moves? slowly going in, out, and sideways, going sideways and leaving everything behind like im changing to a new scene, someone have a clue? i will search some tutorials on youtube but if i could have a head start here would be really great! thanks!!!

I had an earlier post about this where I said I had been having issues with Roto Brush not working and I thought I fixed it because it then worked for that clip. But, now here I am again and Roto Brush does this looping crap about 3 seconds into my 39-second clip. Here is a video about what I'm talking about:https://youtu.be/_LSYPIlEFtA Can someone please help me with this?

De unos dias para aca el after effects no abre tengo un IMac 27 - 2019 3.1ghz intel core 5 con Big surf funcionaba bien, ya lo he desinstalado e instalado varias veces y nada ... Alguna ayuda por favor

Hello - when creating a shape layer or composition in my 3D space, the bounding box is off center. The shape appears to be outside of the composition it's in... If i create a basic shape outside of a comp it does the same thing. I'm working in 3D space with auto orient set to "orient toward camera" but this still shouldn't be happening. Seems like a bug? 

I have two shape layers set to the center of the comp, i applied the fromcomp expression to the transform position of the shape group (not the native transform position), to reference the position of the other layer (The Native Transform Position).I understand what world space and layer space is in After Effects and the expression seems to work fine, but when i move the layer the other layer with the expression goes in the other the direction.Why does it move that way. 

Hello, I'm a beginner in After Effects and Dimensions. I would like to make the effect of a letter expanding horizontally  - giving the perception that the letter moves sand while doing it. I'm not sure which tutorials/key words I need to study to learn how to do this. Is there any one that may give me advice?

Hi. I'm testing rendering 3D and seeing that Subsurface materials with subsurface don't produce accurate results. Is this probably a known current limitation, or am I missing a step or setting? The test render isn't the greatest example, but on the Redshift render, there is clearly subsurface scattering happening, but not on the AE render. 

Hi.There is some issue with the Adobe aftereffect rendering process, I'm trying to render in a 1695x1080px and set up the comp size accordingly but after rendering the video is coming out in 1694x1080px. I've also checked the media encoder before rendering and the resolution is changing there as well, which I'm unable to change back to 1695px.

After effects 2024Windows 11I was just opening After effects and all of a sudden it pops up a window saying something about project files error, and then somewhere in the text it said .old or something. It then closed and I reopened it and all of a sudden, my preferences reset to default, the color UI is back to normal, my shortcuts are gone, and my recent project file is broken, "cannot read."

can somebody help me or help me find a tutorial for this text effect. it looks like it is being scanned. i cant really describe the animation. 

Saludos, publico por primera vez para saber que tan seguro es actualizar a MacOs Sequoia mientras se este utilizando la versión 24.1.0 de After effects, no puedo actualizar AE por temas de plugins que necesito, anteriormente utilizaba la version 2020 de AE, pero con MacOS Sonoma, no podia abrirlo, y fue un verdadero dolor de cabeza. Quisiera saber si alguien ha tenido la oportunidad de probar y comprobar que por lo menos la versión 24.1.0 es compatible con MacOS Sequoia, o si hay algun link donde pueda ver la compatibilidad de ello, muchas gracias, estoy en medio de proyectos, quisiera actualizar Mac, pero no quiero arriesgarme de nuevo.

Hi all, I have two kinds of problems with this animation:1 - Moving the 3D camera forward is jerky.2 - The edges of holes in the “grid” where the cup lands are jaggedI don't have much experience with 3D compositions, so I'm asking for help in understanding what the problem might be. Could it be due to composition or software settings unknown to me? Or does it depend on the hardware? I hope not! These are the specifications of my pc:- Mainboard: ASUS PRIME X570-P- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core 3.40 GHz- Ram: 64GB- Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 GDDR6Thanks

Imported 4k video file, black in the preview pane.  Went to the visibility eye and there is no box there to click it! HUH?? 1080p video shows up imediately. The file is mp4. What gives here?

Like a person wants to make a short film and is still learning but does not even know the name of WIRE REMUVE AFTER SHOOTING APP when he is also ready to spend the money.Will anyone tell me?

Hi, I am new to AE, and I would like to install the Sapphire Plug in but I do not know how to. I have seen many videos and tutorials and none work. I have already downloaded the plug in from BorisFX and I have seen the instructions but I do not quite understand. If anyone can explain how to intall it in easier beginner words, I would appreciate it. 

Hey i do not have the option to extrude this path i have imported in from Illustrator. I have followed many step by step tutorials on how to use illustrator paths in after effects but i cannot progress past the point of "extrude" becuase that option does not show up. I can even edit the path in after effects so i know it is not a bitmap image it is a vector path. Why cant i extrude them?

Hi all, is it possible to disable automatic caching in AE or significantly increase the time before automatic caching? Because now there is a limitation that after maximum 15 seconds caching will start, I don't need it and it constantly overloads my PC and disc because of which it keeps freezing when I don't need the cache.

After effect lugging / crashing after creating a shape/ video attached 

Hi, I'm running High Sierra and my iMac started to give up yesterday.  I unistalled AE, and because I don't have a version installed anymore, it won't give me the options to install pervious version.  The OS prevents me from installing any newer version that CC19. Any ideas how to get around this? I basically just need to collect and reduce a few projects onto drives to move onto a new machine. Thank you

Hello, I am creating an object instance during PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETUP and I want to use reference counting to keep it around during PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_FLATTEN, PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_RESETUP and PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETDOWN. What I do:Setup: creates the object instance and associates an UUID to it and sequence_data stores object instance pointer + UUID.Flatten: creates a flat representation of sequence_data (used for serialization). In my case, I put the UUID of my object in the flat data.Resetup: get back a pointer to the object from UUID or create one if not found (when loading from a file)Setdown: release the object if ref count goes down to 0. I am not sure how to do ref counting. For example, if I create a new project with a media, associate the plugin to a layer and then close the project, I got these numbers of call (in AE 2024 24.6.1 build 2):- Setup: 1- Flatten: 1- Resetup: 4- Setdown: 4 This works for sequence_data which is created in Setup, destroyed
