After Effects

When using Increment and Save, AAE creates a new file (with an increased version number in the filename). I am wondering if that is considered a "new" file by the cache management algorithm. If so, doing that often will quickly eat up cache space as all the caches from the previous versions would be kept indefinitely (until deleted manually) as they all are considered separate documents. Can anyone shed some light on that?

When using the ellipse tool, an ellipse will appear in the shape layer, but it is not visible in the composition with fill and stoke on. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? 

Olá,Estou enfrentando um problema com a renderização de sombras no After Effects 2025. Mesmo com a aceleração por GPU ativada e drivers atualizados, as sombras não estão sendo renderizadas corretamente. Minha placa de vídeo é uma GTX 1050.Já vi relatos de outros usuários com o mesmo problema, e não encontrei soluções nos fóruns. Poderiam me ajudar a resolver essa questão? Agradeço desde já.Atenciosamente, [Seu Nome]

I found really interesting (and annoying) bug in simple use case of time remap loop.When I use loopout on precomp with animation and there is NO continuous rasterize, AE make glitch at last timeremap keyframe which describes loop area. It shows frame somewhere from middle of animation instead of last-first one.. So loop is unusable, because it always have this oneframe glitch at the end of cycle. There is no timestretching, no effects, the same framerate.. just really simple animation (without any keyframes, just offseted layers) which need to be looped.When you enable "Mr. Sunny" (continuous rasterize) switch on, everything is OK and loop working like a charm. I prepare simple project where you can test it. Just put playhead at 2nd keyframe of loop and switch the switch, you will see..It was tested in all latest major AE versions (23,24,25) and result is the same.I attached screenshots without and with rasterize switch on and also project file (AE 25, but as I said, it does not w

So I wanted to look through my older projects of AE but the thing is that I made those in ae 2022 version so I can't open so I'm looking forward to try and fix that problem.. If you have any other solution then please leave it in the comment section.

Hi community. Is there a way to fix in the trim paths and round cap section, the line animations from protruding so much into the first frame. On frame zero, the line is set to zero, but on frame 1, the rounded cap reveals too much of the rounded cap, like 2 notches, then the animation is smoother 1 pixel each interval, and the line finishes again abruptly with 2-3 more notches.   

Hi, for about a week now I'm having issues with AE 23. So I'm working in AE 23 and I have another application open in the background (e.g. Chrome or Premiere). Once I click to open up the other application, AE will crash Windows and the system reboots. It exclusively happens when switching away from AE and not from any other software so the problem has to be with AE. Not sure what's going on since it wasn't an issue before and suddenly it is. It started happening in AE 23.3 (which was running fine before). I then downgraded to AE 23.2 and AE 23.1 but the issue persists. Downgrading to AE 22 seems to resolve the issue but this is not an option for my current project. I also downgraded my Nvidia drivers as suggested by Victoria some time ago ( https://twitter.com/FakeGreenDress/status/1634250027978858497?s=20 ) but no luck. I'm on Windows 11, version 22H2. Attached you'll find a log file that was generated the last time AE crashed my system. I hope there's a

Hey,Sorry about the newbie question, but Google won't help me out here and I really need to know: isn't there an onion skin feature in After Effects? Like the one used in classic cellmation (if I, for instance, am watching frame 6, turning on the onion skin feature will allow me to see both frames 5 and 7 at a lower opacity) and that comes with Flash. I've recently started out with AE since using Flash gives me at least three brain hemmorages a day, and to be honest I just thought onion skinning is such a basic thing so I didn't even bother to check if came with AE... But I just realize that maybe it's not, only to animators.Well, now I can't seem to find it, some other forum posts mention that it doesn't really exist (why, adobe, why?), but I still wanna make sure it doesn't. Does it?

1. 25.1.02. MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Hi AE team!I've stumbled across a bug when loading layers with multiple elements inside them and making them 3D.It appears to have a difficult time deciding what to show in front, while the Classic 3D renderer doesn't have this issue. Advanced renderer:Clasic 3D: I've attached a file with this icon. Hope that helps! Kind regards,Onno 

I imported a video into my timeline and it won't display the visuals. I'm only hearing the audio when it previews. I tried to see if the video layer was hidden, but there's no eye icon even. Need help with this. Thank you!   Title edit by Mod.

Please improve the appearance of the transparency grid icon when enabled because you can not read it otherwise. The checkerboard pattern disappears cognitively while it's enabled. Observed in both dark and light modes. See below the differences. Contrast on the icon is actually reduced while in accessible contrast mode compared to that mode being turned off.        

Tengo unas fotos que son de buena resolución y se ven correctamente. Cuando hago la presentación en After Effects y las pongo en mi composición, la calidad desmejora muchísimo y se ven borrosas, ya sea con cámara como sin ella, acercándome o no a las fotos. No lo entiendo, porque esto me pasa con la mayoria de las fotos, pues en algunas no pasa y se ven bastante bien aunque siempre pierden calidad.He probado todos los métodos que yo conozco, incluso aplicando la opción de "rasterizar continuamente" si que mejora un poco pero no lo suficiente.

good evening, for whatever reasons my adobe after effects 2020 won't start anymore.it says : ''After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup'' i got a macbook pro m1 and recently updated to macOS sequoia 15.2 thank u

Hello,I have created the gif animation it should be below 1 mb, but there are some dots that are showing in the animation, they disappear when it's mp4. But i need gif, and also it should be with smaller size.I tried to export as jpeg sequence in After Effects, and than open in Photoshop and export as gif animation, but is the sameThank you,Monika

Hello!I have some problems about importing 3D models into after effects.I tried to load a model from internet, it works perfectly.Now, when I import a .gltb object made in Blender, After Effects doesn't load the textures, but it does load the 3D model.I tried to embed the textures in all ways.What could be happening?

Please fix performance for Automations with .csv datasheets.It's horrible that you need to save/load for minutes to use it.

I've imported a .wav audio track into after effescts but the waveform is far shorter than the recorded time it's been compressed from 3 minutes to 1 minute and I don't know why and would like the audio to be the original time?I tried time stretching but this distorts the audio, is there another way to import it correctly?

Heya.I'm really not very good at AE at all, so I'm not so good with the advanced terminology. I have flameless candles in the backdrop of my static shots, and these static shots often last 45+ minutes. I have PNGs of lens flares that correspond to the candles. I love how it looks, but I notice that when the candles are momentarily obscured (often things like my hands or arms moving in front of them), the PNGs of the lens flares still remain, which looks jarring and unnatural.I would like it to be such that when the candles are obscured, the opacity of the lens flares dynamically, automatically lower in opacity, proportionate to how obscured they are. So if they are partially obscured, the opacity of the lens flare would come down, but not entirely. I would like this to be automated, as this will be what I'm doing for every video I make.Ideally, I would like to be able to just mask out the small area of the candles and make AE just focus on the changes to that area, so it's aw

Hey guys,  this has been bothering me for quite a while and I haven't been able to find a solution on the web.I'm using After Effects 22 on an M2 Macbook Pro (Ventura 13.0) with 8 GB RAM (yes, I know, it's far from optimal for Ae) . Whenever my project gets a bit 'heavier', I'm speaking of 7-10 layers (different kinds like shapes, .jpeg, .mp4, nulls, occasionally 3D) plus quite a bit of adjustment layers with cc, effects, lighting etc., and I press space/playback, it freezes indefinitely. I've tried rendering my projects in sections, then layering the files in a new comp to reduce workload, yet it would still happen.Ae suddenly gives me the colorful spinning ball of death and never actually loads anything, no matter how long I wait, so I have to restart every time.Once wanted to see if it's actually trying, went for dinner once and three smokes, 1 hour later it was still stuck in loading.There are usually no other tabs opened either, although,I usually keep my activ

hello everyone first of all i hope everyone doing fine my quesiton is how can i make this text moving like in the picture i want import to this video 

I'm working on keying out a product shot of a white/grey shoe with mint green elements. I'm running into some persistent issues with color contamination despite trying multiple approaches.Current Setup:Shot against blue screen (chose blue due to green elements in the shoe)Using Keylight 1.2, Key Cleaner, Advanced Spill SuppressorAlso tried roto brush and various masking approachesThe Problem: When using Keylight, I'm getting green semi-transparent zones in the grey areas of the shoe that I just can't seem to eliminate. These are affecting the color accuracy in my final comp, especially in the grey tones.What I've Tried:Various Keylight settingsCombination of Key Cleaner and Advanced Spill SuppressorSome masking workRoto brush Questions:Is there a better way to clean up the interior mask areas?Would switching to a yellow or red background work better given the shoe's colors?Any suggestions for preserving the true grey tones while still getting a clean key? Any help would be gr

Hi,Whenever i have 3d objects on my screen, and i move the camera around, some of these objects start moving by themselves. When i stop moving te camera around the objects stop moving. These objects are not animated, and when they move, i notice that the position coordinates don't change. Thats proof that they are not animated and should not be moving. The other obejcts do not move, but for some reason some objects do. I tried changing the coordinates of the anchor. It worked for one object. It stopted moving around. I tried to do the same for the other objects but it dindn't work. The objects that are moving, all move in the same direction. I checked the box for continious rastering, but that did not help. I cannot finish my project if some objects are moving around by themselves whenever i move the camera around. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.
