After Effects

Hi. I'm trying to maintain stroke width when scaling a shape, and I use the expression below (added to the "Stroke Width" property). It works when scaling with both axis constrained. However, if I scale the axis separately, the expression doesn't work anymore. Is there something I can add to it so that the stroke thickness remains the same when scaling them independently?value*(100/transform.scale[0]) Thanks

  how is this possible.

Response to this error. I've seen other related posts and trying all the solutions none of them worked. I have a 4070 Super 12GB, so it's a nice GPU.The error is as follows:"After Effects encountered a GPU effects error on this frame. Possible cause: Out of GPU memory."The error comes out as soon as I open the project. I worked on this same project a few weeks ago and everything was working fine. 

Hallo ich habe ein Problem und zwar zeigt After Effects nicht die Ebenen an von einer Adobe Illustrator Datei und dazu wenn ich diese Datei/Vektor in After Effects runter skalliere werden die Vektoren verpixelt.. Ich bitte um Erklärung und ich bin neu in der Adobe Branche.  Dazu habe ich ein Video gemacht wie meine gesamte Vorgehensweise ist(Vom Adobe Illustrator bis AE). Gerne korrigieren und ergänzen. Dankeschön 

Hi there, I was wondering if someone has experience extracting different passes from an EXR multilayer sequence. I'm following a course for Blender + After Effects for 3D rendering and compositing. I rendered some 3d models in Blender, after tracking the 3D camera on an original footage I'm also using. As you'd see from the screen recording I'm giving you, I have the combined pass, but I also have the diffuse color, diffuse direct/indirect, Gloss color, gloss direct/indirect, AO, and shadow catcher. I synchronized the EXR multilayer sequence to match the AE composition settings for color and frame rate. However, you can see that the result renders in the viewport only until the 4th frame and then disappears, plus the 3d objects don’t have the proper color. If I use the option with the combined pass and nothing else, I can preview beyond the 4th frame, but all 3D objects disappear. The moment I introduce any other pass, I get a black screen beyond the 4th frame. I set the

The Camera Lens Blur effect that came with AE CS 5.5 and CS 6 doesn't look nearly as good as the old Lens Blur effect that came with CS 5; it's pretty much unusable for my purposes. Foreground elements that should be sharp render sharp, but with a blurry halo around them. The old Camera Lens blur does not exhibit this behavior, nor the Frischluft Depth of Field plugin.Here's an image showing the depth map and how the three plugins render it: CameraLensBlur.pngThe images are composited from 16-bit PNGs rendered out of Cinema 4D. There's a nasty halo visible around the foreground particle in the upper left in the CS6 Camera Lens Blur version. I saved the old Lens Blur effect as a preset out of a CS5 project and am, fortunately, still able to use that approach in CS6 since the "improved" version of the plugin looks pretty crummy (I skipped AE CS5.5). As a test I installed the demo of Frishluft's Lenscare plugins, and after inverting the depth buffer in the plugin I got a good result.The "

I've been having a major issue with After Effects since today with all types of files. Sometimes I can work, but often the program crashes abruptly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, and the update is fine. I have the Motion Bro plugin with the latest update... I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have a solution? I got a message once about a problem with the "fill" asset... but honestly, it doesn't change anything... Thanks for your help.

Hello, I'd appreciate any help with this... I have the most updated version of AfterEffects, but my video still renders as completely black no matter what I try! Here are my default settings: I've tried various things...Adding a solid layer, or rendering as losless (as mentioned here... https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/video-turns-black-after-exporting/td-p/12568192) Nothing works! Would appreciate any help here. Thank you.

So I'm working on VFX in AE with some Clog2 footage shot with the Canon C70. I'm not the color corrector nor grader. How can I output my effects with the color as flat as the Clog2 footage but still retain the color information of the VFX? Right now I have colorful effects on flat video which is really going to mess with the color grader's job.

Приветствую всех. Помогите решить проблему, может у кого-то есть!! Плагин Geolayers 3 в AE перестал работать. При загрузке карты в плагине она не открывается во вьюпорте AE. Есть ли способ решить эту проблему? Затененные страны отображаются, а источник самой карты (вода, земля) — нет.

Hi,I want to create counter with jumps of 2 numbers from 0 to 100, jumps like: 0,2,4,6,8,10....I know how to create counter with slider control etc.. but i need help how i can jump numbers..Thanks.

Hi guys, please tell me how to solve it. We have a shape with X Position and Y Position, the Y Position value is set via slider control. How to make Y Position change from 0 to this value, but only without keyframes in slider control?

.glb files often appear completely white in AE after previously having worked.  Opened a project today and the .glb 3d object that was fine yesterday now has no material. The same file DOES have a material in other apps, so it's AE failing.  I've had this problem before and restarting would fix it, but that's not helping now.  Me and my colleague are both having the same problem, with Windows and mac. AE version 24.4 Seriously can you just roll out features when they actually work?

Okay hi. So I've got two computers (both Macs) and I use a hard drive to carry my saved work, presets, transitions, etc from computer to computer. I installed S_BlurMoCurves (sapphire) on one computer and saved everything including the installers on the hard drive. This was a while back though so I can't remember exactly how I did it. I plugged it into the other computer and tried to download/install it there too, but it's not working. I install it, it says it's finished, and then I go into After Effects and I can't find it. Says it's "missing." Do I maybe need to do something with the installed plugin that I'm not? Is there a step missing? I for the life of me cannot remember how I did it last time and it's becoming more of a problem since my other computer is getting slower and crashing more often, so I need to start working more on this one that refuses to run the plugin. Can anyone help? 

Hi!I'm hoping someone can help me with this because it's driving me crazy... I did a really simple logo animation for a client that is to be used on some instructional videos going forward. It works just fine in the precomp and even the original composition that I created it in, but when I add the precomp to any other comp only part of the animation is showing up. Even if I copy all the layers and pasted them directly into the comp it's not working. Any ideas?(In case you need more details, I used the "generate > stroke" effect to have the outline of the letters draw in and then the solid fill fades in using the opacity. The only thing that's working is the fade in).

Hi I'm trying to render ACES in C4d. Import into AE. Export in an HDR format I can use on Youtube. Goal is to have Youtube show the same as i see in the Redshift render.I'm almost there, but I can't figure out how to do the last step correctly. This is what I'm doing so far:I render in c4d in ACEScg 32bit openexr.In AE I interpret the rendered footage as "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".I set project settings to:OCIO color managedACES 1.232 bitWorking color space: "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".Display Color Space: "ACES/sRGB". If I now export an mp4 with colorspace set to "Color_picking: sRGB", it renders correctly. But of course not in HDR but 8bit sRGB. But at least it seems like I'm doing something right. My question is: What do I need to do to export this correctly to Youtube as HDR?I have tried to set the display color space to "ACES/Rec.2020 HLG 1000nits" and then render using AME as "Apple Prores 4444 HLG". But the colors became alot darker.I al

Hey there guys, any idea how to get this kinda effect done in AE? I can request some LED lights in the live action footage to use as reference. Can also use C4D, but was just wondering if you guys think this would be possible all in AE.

Schon wieder einmal wird automatisch was in AE geändert obwohl ich die automatischen Updates aus habe.Wieder ährend eines Projektes.Alles wird zurück gesetzt. Schriftarten werden nicht mehr erkannt.Einige Plugins funktionieren auf einmal nicht mehr... Wie kriege ich das wirklioch aus geschaltet. jedes mal während einer Produktion ist das wirklich die Hölle sich dann wieder mit dem Programm rumzuschlagen.

Under my window panel, I have something called MFColorPicker, and I have no idea what it is, but it instantly crashes my Aftereffects if it is clicked. I've tried searching for it, and can't find any related info, any help would be great. Thank you.

Hi allI'm trying to use Trapcode 3d stroke to make a dashed line (like you would in a shape path) - is there any way to do this? I've tried adjusting the step but just end up with dots.. I'd like these to be dashes. Quite surprised it doesnt look to have this option.. but maybe I'm missing something If so, any alternatives or will I just have to use a shape path?Thanks

Hola, verán tengo un problema, estuve editando un video con after effects cc 2017, el problema es que estaba exportando con Adobe Media Encoder para tener el formato H.264, (ya que no viene por predeterminado en el after effects).Estaba renderizando, pero mi compu se trabó, creo que no soporto el video, entonces hize un apagado forzado, creo que fue un gran error, ya que al volver a encender la compu, y tratar de abrir el proyecto de nuevo, me aparece:Advertencia de after effects: No se puede importar el archivo como proyecto (formato incorrecto o no legible) No se como resolver esto, por favor ayuda! PD: No se si sirva de ayuda, pero al momento de importar el archivo, noté que no aparece el formato para importar En la primera foto traté de abrir otro archivo para ver si era el único archivo que no me dejaba abrir. En la segunda foto es el video que estaba renderizando

Hi, I am working on simple animation of earth spinning on a path. Animation works flawlessly when i put around 10 rotations for the whole path. However, for some unknown reason when i put higher values like 365 rotations, the animation gets weird. Like the program tries to rotate the object 365 times way before reaching the keyframe. Not sure if it's mistake on my side or just a bug. I am using AfterEffects 24.6 on windows 11.
