After Effects

Double-clicking on a composition does not open it in the project window.I’s the same issue on the composition window. It is impossible to access the menu by left-clicking on a composition in the project window.

Attaching a screen record showing this bug. For some reason AE is adding random opacity knots to my shape layer gradient fills. This happens regardless of whether the gradient has keyframes set or not. This is on AE 26.0 on macOS Tahoe 26.2

Hey Adobe Community,I have some abstract compositions that I need to render in 4K. Most of them consist of some simple 3D shape layers (3 points, connected to 3D Nulls). These are pre-comped, and these pre-comps have colour and blur effects applied to them (Camera Lens Blur, Gaussian Blur, Colorama, CC Toner, these kinds of effects). They’re about a minute long.When trying to render these out (using mostly the H.264 - Match Render Settings - 15Mbps preset) the Memory seems to blow out of proportion, completely clogging up my machine. This also happens with the effects disabled.I’ve tried using my Mac’s internal SSD, and an external SSD as cache. The Maximum Disk Cache Size is set at 150GB. With the 64GB installed, 12GB is set as reserved for other applications. I’ve purged the caches, and restarted the Mac multiple times, but to no avail – it clogs up like this every single time, and I’m stuck not being able to render them. Is there anything I’m doing wrong here? To me it seems like Af

Hi, I have a question. Can someone help me create this effect in After Effects? I want to make my object have a small glow and then disappear, like in the image. Could someone please explain it to me?Here are the reference images to see if someone can help me. I've tried to do it but it's not working smoothly. Thanks.

I have a comp size solid that I have a layer style stroke on and. when I change the Advanced Blending it punches through all layers below as if it was on Stencil Alpha. And oddly enough trying Stencil Alpha or Silhouette Alpha changes nothing. But if I move the layer 1 pixel it operates as expected. Also if I draw a mask on it. So my workaround right now is to have a mask that is bigger than the layer.

I keep getting this error when trying to save my after effects project.  I type command + F, choose my location on my HD, and save it as an .aep (the default setting) and this is the error i get - "After Effects Error: File couldn't be opened for writing: "(name of project).aep". (3 ;; 0)

당장 며칠 전에 25.6 으로는 잘만 되다가 26.0 버전으로 업데이트 이후에는 전혀 재생이 되지 않습니다.프리뷰가 안되는 것은 아닙니다. 재생바를 이동시키면 화면이 잘 움직입니다.

I queue up a project with image 1 in the encoder render, then I go back to the project and change it to image 2 while the first video is still rendering. The encoder changes image 1 to image 2 halfway through the first video. The problem is that for the last two years I have been working the same way and nothing changed in the real-time render if I changed something in the project, but now it changes. This has never happened before. I asked couple of buddies and they said that it worked always like that :/

I'm on Windows, using a UHD 4K monitor and running 175% display scaling.After Effects scales the UI correctly, but the performance of the Timeline panel especially is atrocious. Merely trying to scrub the timeline is very laggy. There are also visual glitches, like vertical black lines, and the playhead not redrawing correctly when using J & K to move between keyframes (the playhead gets disconnected from the line in a redraw glitch). Even doing a RAM preview on a fully cached timeline causes frame drops.If I use the Windows high DPI settings dialog to override the scaling behavior (set scaling to be performed by System), all these performance and glitch issues go away. Scrubbing the timeline and resizing panels is smooth, and no visual glitches appear. Unfortunately, the entire UI is drawn in low res - pixellated and blurry, so it is not usable like this.This has been a long-standing bug and I reported it over a year ago, thinking it was a graphics card issue, but it is clearly re

Does anyone know a Mac program that will convert older .mov files and preserve the alpha? I cannot import them into AE since they are no longer supported. I've downloaded a few free trials, and when I convert to ProRes 4444, I lose the alpha and gain a black background. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks,Denise

Hello! How can I create an expression for checkbox Control to "Fill" effect in a PNG logo? I would like that when the checkbox is marked, the logo takes on the solid color filling, and when disabled keep the original colors of the logo. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks!

Estoy teniendo serios inconvenientes con After Effects.

Is there a way to repair this? Because every time I try to preview my footage the video shown is completely black. Is there an option to tick or something? This problem started after doing some 3D edits.

I’m trying to automate a trapezoid shape, that can be resized along the x or y axis (preferably with slider controls), but maintains four set angles. For instance, 90°, 90°, 100°, 80°. See attached image as an example: 

Since upgrading from windows 10 to 11 I have had this issue where After effects crash on startup once Bridge is installed.The only way to get it to working normal is to rename/delete Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning.dll from the plug-ins folder. Both programme will open and operate as expected but I lose all AI features in Bridge including masking which is a big part of my workflow.Has anyone solved this issue without deleting important .dll files?

Creating this as a thread for all small tweaks and suggestions to help everyday use.1.Being able to disable lock contraint for scale for selected layers in one go Being able to control additional layer properties via expressions, i.e. visibility.  This will need to be reflected in the layer visibility icon for example, that the visibility is connected to an expression Being able to replace sound files and control sound properties like volume in Essential Graphics If a layer has an expression, it would be nice to have an additional icon to be able to jump to the layer/layers, reference in that expression, and visa versa Direct Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets access for spreadsheets, rather than having to create a middleman csv/tsv file When using a linked csv/tsv and a user control dropdown effect, you can access the rows in the file with the dropdown by using “csv.dataValue”.
