After Effects

Hi,I want this random expression to slow so that I can see the color change, I mean 1st color will stay for few seconds (Maybe 2/3 seconds), then the next color will also pause for some time, and then third color same...I want them to stay for few seconds before shifting to the next color. How can I slow it? what  should I write in the expression so that AE can make the color to stay for few seconds. Thank you   

I haven't used this in a while, I'm now reinstalling stuff over and over. I have this demo project I need to work on today to get this job and now I'm dealing with Maxon snags.  Can't I just run Cineware 2025? I have it installed, why is this error coming up? Do I need to back install? Please advise, thanks. 

Hello everyone,I recently stumbled upon this post that was made in 2013: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/bezier-curve-conversion-between-value-graph-and-speed-graph/m-p/5741221#M141939 talking about the mathematics for converting speed graphs to value graphs. I found the math to be fairly simple for one dimension, but with multi-dimension calculations, specifically in python, my curve values don't seem correct. The author hagmas provided a solution in which I tried to implement, but it seems incorrect when I run my own numbers. Python: import math x_first, x_last = 0, 100 y_first, y_last = 0, 200 z_first, z_last = 0, 0 duration = 30 x_diff = abs(x_first - x_last) y_diff = abs(y_first - y_last) z_diff = abs(z_first - z_last) x_avg, y_avg, z_avg = x_diff / duration, y_diff / duration, z_diff / duration avg_speed = math.sqrt(x_avg * x_avg + y_avg * y_avg + z_avg * z_avg) in_influence, out_influence = 0.50, 0.50 in_speed, out_speed = 200, 0 bezier_i

(The problem video below) This issue started today, and I have no idea why. My only thought could be that it is my most recent Mac update, but I am not sure.I've tried using "Purge", "preferences", "clearing caches" and everything but most of the time, they do not appear in preview, but when rendering and when the video finished rendering, those glitches would appear as well in the final video. 

I have a valid yearly subscription with Adobe creative cloud.I frequently use Photoshop, illustrator and inDesign and all of them are working fine.I start talking some After effect classes. After a few days of using After effect I start getting this error message. I update the drive of the Nivide chipset on my laptop but it is not loading.  I can use it on safe mode but i prefer to use it on normal mode. 

Hello, I was using AE earlier today and then all of a sudden my keyframes stopped moving. My layers were not locked, and the only way I could fix it is by deleting a keyframe and then redoing it. The only way I could select a keyframe was by dragging not clicking. But the keyframes are just stuck they won't move. I would select a keyframe, and it won't move. I use AE 2022.

I'm looking to create a faux 3D extruding animation by connecting two copies in different sizes of the same shape. Ideally, it would be even better to make it in a 3D environment, but a 2D could do the job. I have found several ways to connect individual vertices with lines—but ONLY lines, not all vertices of a shape.I made a mockup using the Blend tool in Adobe Illustrator (See the GIF images below).

Hello. I am wanting to apply nulls to points in a shape in a 3D space. From script "Create Nulls From Paths" I select my path from a 3D shape layer and click "Nulls Follow Points" and it does create the nulls, but only in a projected view as 2D, ignoring any Z positioning. I have tried separating the postions and seeing if I can force the Z positioning out in the expression with no luck.  My goal is to use the shape to control the null positions which I can attach images/comps to. 

I have two text layers, (Text 1 and Text 2) each is controlled by Slider to change the text, now the script work as it swap their position the higher number always remain at top, but if someone can help the position swap too quick, how can i easy ease them, like it change in 5 frames script :slider1 = thisComp.layer("Text 1").effect("Slider 1")("Slider")slider2 = thisComp.layer("Text 2").effect("Slider 2")("Slider")originalPos1 = [value[0], 1002.753];originalPos2 = [value[0], 1349.9595];// Determine target position based on slider valuestargetPos = (slider2 > slider1) ? originalPos1 : (slider2 < slider1 ? originalPos2 : value);// Smooth transitionsmoothTime = 2; // Adjust for slower or faster transitioncurrentTime = time;previousPos = valueAtTime(currentTime - smoothTime);linear(currentTime, currentTime - smoothTime, currentTime, previousPos, targetPos);

Hello, the newest media encoder version in macOS(Sequoia 15.0) has a problem rendering the AfterEffects composition, which contains expressions referring to other compositions. This problem occurs ONLY in MacOS.  (Windows works well) It works fine in the After Effects preview and the After Effects renderer (lossless). However, as soon as I start rendering with Media Encoder, the plain video(H.264), which isn't applied the expression comes out. How to reproduce the errorThe problematic expression is simple:Please test using the expression below. 1. referring to other compositions in the object expressioncomp("otherCompName").layer("something").position[0] 2. render the composition, which contains the expression above, using a media encoder (So that you know, I used many expressions in my project under the problematic  situation.)

Hey guys,I’ve been dealing with a super annoying issue in After Effects lately. After like 10-15 minutes, I keep getting an error message, and then I can’t do anything anymore. The weird thing is, I never had this problem before.I was using AE 2020 for a while, then upgraded to AE 2024 hoping it would fix the issue. It runs a bit better, but the errors are still happening.My PC has 32GB RAM, and I’ve got 400GB free on my drive for AE.Here’s what I’ve already tried:Cleared the cacheSet RAM allocation to max (29GB)Reinstalled After Effects (through the AE 2024 upgrade)Turned GPU acceleration on/offDisabled multi-frame renderingIncreased disk cache from 100GB to 200GBI also checked Task Manager:GPU usage: only 10%RAM usage: 85-90% (almost full)This issue randomly started about two weeks ago and just won’t go away. It’s seriously driving me crazy.Does anyone have any idea what’s causing this or has dealt with the same issue and found a fix? 😩🙏

Ich habe in After Effects das Problem, dass die Grünen Arbeitsbereich-Markierungen (In-/Out-Punkte) in der Timeline immer synchron laufen. Egal, was ich versuche sie lassen sich nicht separat verschieben. Ich habe bereits verschiedene Lösungsansätze probiert:Tastenkombinationen (ALT, SHIFT, B/N)  funktioniert nichtVoreinstellungen zurückgesetzt keine Änderung.After Effects deinstalliert und neu installiert (auch ältere Version getestet) das Problem bleibt bestehenNeue Komposition mit frischem Import erstellt gleiches Verhalten Normalerweise sollten sich die beiden Markierungen unabhängig voneinander setzen lassen, aber bei mir bleiben sie verknüpft. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte oder welche Einstellung ich übersehen habe? Bin für jede Hilfe dankbar!

I have imported multiple animated GLB files but non of them are showing Animation Options, how do i fix this? Imported GLB files:https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/rampaging-t-rex-9fca9a76d0c04cceb2a76c8b501a8cb0https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/3december-2020-not-poker-ec291518d1cc4f36957bd951d80456dd  

 I keel getting this error when I open old versions of my documents. How do I fix this? I already have the last update and fixed the add ons.

New to after effects so I'm sure this is a simple mistake but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...I'm trying to click on the layers in the composition window however it wont let me, the only way I can select a layer is through ctrl + left click? The only reason why this is such a problem is because I'd like to shift select multiple layers.Not entirely sure on what I'm doing wrong...Thanks in advanced.

I'm trying to crate a wireframe sphere with the Grid effect and CC sphere. But the strokes got very thin as they converge at the top(also the side). Is there any way to create wireframe sphere with constant stroke width? Thanks.

Hi all. Dunno if I have to do something else, but I just wanna do a fade out on the audio. Using After Effects, there is no fade out. I keyframe 10 frames before the end of my comp, with the volume at normal value, then on the latest frame, I put all down the volume. Never has the fade out. So, I start to use the Premire to finish my video and do that. You can see the waveforms to compare when created on AE and on Premiere? There is a way to to this on AE? Using the latest version on both apps. Thanks.  

I'm trying to create a grid where I can control each square to create an animated tiled mosaic, almost like 8-bit pixel art. I need each square on the grid to be it's own pre-comped layer and masked from an existing image of tiles that cycle between different colours, but they also have individual textures so it can't just be replicated.I've created a full row of squares, each on its own layer with its own mask. As I duplicate this row of layers, I want to avoid moving each mask individually to save time and be more precise. I want to select an entire row of masks on seperate layers and move them down together all at once, and then repeat until I get to the bottom of my grid. I thought I would do this with Track Mattes, as I could easily copy and paste the shape layers, select the whole row move them down together, but I realized I need to use masks so I can select each square and manipulate it later. Is this possible or am I going to have to move every single mask in the grid ind

Hey y'all, After the latest After Effects update, whenever I try to open the program it simply will not open. I double click, and nothing happens. In Task Manager it is listed under Background Processes, but nothing ever happens. Same thing with Media Encoder. Premier Pro works fine, Photoshop too I belive.Is this a known bug for the latest update? I really need to get to work. Thanks!
