After Effects

When i work in AE and drag compositions from the project panel to Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects creates one (1) new temp file for each comp, such as tmpAEtoAMEProject-Comp.aep. Lots of comps means lots of files...But when i have exported and close Adobe Media Encoder all temp files that After Effects created are still on the hard drive. Why has i as the user no option to automatically delete those when i have Remove completed files from queue on exit checked in the Preferences for Adobe Media Encoder?What have i missed?

Ever since I got my new laptop (Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 16-r0xxx (Extra info at the bottom)) My After Effects will show a black screen in the composition window. I can add elements, but I can't see them or do anything with them. Things I've done to try and solve this:-Disabled hardware accelleration-Using older versions of AE-Downloaded the most recent Nvidia driver ( the studio one, since I've read that the game ready one also caused glitches)- Probably other things which I can't remember since it's been a while Any ideas what this could be? Here are my sytem details:NVIDIA system information report created on: 01/26/2025 12:52:19NVIDIA app version: 11.0.1.189Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.22631DirectX runtime version: DirectX 12Driver: Studio Driver - 566.36 - Tue Dec 10, 2024CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620HRAM: 16.0 GBStorage: SSD - 476.9 GBGraphics cardGPU processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPUDirect3D feature level: 12_1

This problem randomly started happening at the beginning of the week and is happening across multiple versions of After Effects and projects that were rendered normally before. I currently have 32Gb RAM from which 16Gb is allocated for Adobe software. After experiencing the infamous error -1609629695 (that still wasn't solved for me), I started investigating other possible reason for my constant error messages. This got me to discover Adobe Products consuming 89% of my RAM. Sometimes my projects render normally, as it was before, but more often than not, error messages are piling up, and everything on my computer crashes at once. After some time, I found this:'aerendercore' seems to be the culprit. Other software like Blender or Audacity are functioning normally. Is there a certain way for Adobe products to use the RAM I allow it to use?

Adobe After Effects 2019 running on a MAC Sierra 10.12.6Recently updated to 2019 and had to reimport scripts. I used the FILE > Scripts > Install Scripts UI Panel method. I now have duplicate listings under WINDOW.  I also would like to remove one of the scripts totally. What I tried:- Totally removing the .jsx file from the computer ( /Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2019/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/)- Doing a general .jsx search on the computer to see if it was copied somewhere.- Clearing the Media & Disk CacheI cannot remove items, or get rid of duplicate listings.Is this information stored somewhere in another file?

Hi ive had rhis problem for homestly a year ive searched everywhere every place online and not a single person knows or has responded my pre composed clips move when i enter back into my project and when i try move them they go into like a grid lock so i cant align them 

Does anyone know how to centre a 3D Gizmo? I've imported an OBJ from Dimension. All looks great, except the Gizmo on every 3D object seems to default to the bottom of an asset. It's centered in Dimension, and have tried Transform > Center Anchor Point, but nothing works. Cheers 

hi i'm searching for help. i use ae cc20. i saw some tutorial on youtube for colouring and it must have channel mixer to complete the colouring. the problem is my magic bullet suit doesnt have channel mixing. how do i fix it ? 

I'm using After Effects silent install with a powershell scripthttps://silentinstallhq.com/adobe-after-effects-cc-silent-install-how-to-guide/..and then I have the powershell script create a ae_render_only_node.txt file in Documents so it's set up as a render node. However I have custom render settings that I don't believe are imported with the package.I want to automate the After Effects setup on different machines, and if have to create the render settings/output modules for each instance, I would have to first remove the ae_render_only_node.txt so I can access the UI, change those settings by loading .ars/.oem files, then putting  ae_render_only_node.txt back. And I'm trying to avoid manual work during AE setup.My idea is to find the config files, and replace them using powershell after AE installation. That way everything would be setup by just running a powershell script. Is this even doable? In which file(s) are the render settings and output modules stored?

Please, where can I download After Effects 23? Anyone with useful information?

Buenos días, tengo exactamente este mismo problema con la versión 2025 y también con la 2024. Adicionalmente tengo problemas de malfuncionamiento en Adobe Illustrator 2025 por lo que sospecho pueda ser algo más general. Estoy con un Mac Studio M2, con la última versión de Sonoma (14.7.3) 

HI All,I thought I would post here for answers first before reaching out to adobe. I have searched for answers on the internet, with no real result. I am having issues with the color changing when I import a .AI file to After Effects. The Document color mode is RGB. I created RGB swatches for each color and applied to the shape of the logo. I have Assigned Profile Working RGB: sRGB IE61966-2. Attached is an image from Illustrator (1) and an image from After Effects (2). Any suggestions would be appreciated.(1)(2)

After effects giving errors whenever trying to change font. I have installed fonts from creative cloud and from other sources too. This error gives even trying to change system fonts like Arial, Times etc.

Hi! Can I install older version of AE then available in the Adobe Creative Cloud?I want to install AE 2022. Reason: after update to AE 2023 or 2024 I always have same error with importing absolutly different MP4 files, like "file cannot be opened it may be in an unsupported format". Importing any other formats (excluding mp4) - OK

Hello guys,I have a problem with colors in After Effects after the latest update. When I import MP4 or MOV videos, the colors look different from the original files. This didn’t happen before I update the Adobe version last week.I checked the Project Settings and Working Color Space, and they are set to "None." How can I make sure the imported videos keep their original colors?Thank you for your help.Best regards,

When im using AE for some reason randomly playback stops to work, after doing some research and testing things out myself, I have discovered that whenever i have headsets plugged in or bluetooth headphone on likemy airpods this issue occurs. I have been looking for fix around the internet and cannot seem to find one. Video of issue:  After Effects Version: 

Bonjour,Depuis un certain temps maintenant, la prévisualisation dans After Effects à partir du raccourcis "0" du pavé numérique (ou via le bouton dédié) cesse de fonctionner dès que je débranche/rebranche un casque audio de mon PC. Pour faire refonctionner la prévisualisation, je suis obligé d'aller dans Préférences / Matériel Audio et de modifier la Sortie par défaut...ce qui est très pénible.Auriez-vous une idée de ce qui peut provoquer ce problème, svp ?Je précise que le problème se produit aussi bien sur la version 2024 d'After Effects que sur la version 2025.

I used After Effects 2023 for a while now and finally wanted to switch to After Effects 2024. My After Effects 23 was in english, so i wanted to change the 24 version to english as well. Ive tried everything, but the effects still are in german. Everything else is in english. Is there a way to fix this? I already reinstalled it but the Effects still are in german. Im on Windows btw 🙂 Hope someone can help 😄

  shape disappear when i click 3d in the rendar 3d advanced

I want to add comps into other comps in sequence, so that "each clip starts where the previous clip ends." I tried using the "Creating a Comp with Clips" block, and while it works sometimes, it doesn't always work for my case.All my comps are in the same bin. Is it possible to add these comps into another comp in sequence?Thanks in advance!

Olá,estava fazendo a animação deste personagem e quando vou olhar no preview, ele começa a cortar as partes que eu mostro na imagem,porém ao entrar no arquivo da pre-compose ele fica normal ? Como posso resolver isso ? Seria um bug ? 

I clicked on the "continously rasterize" but still nothing. It worked before, but now no.. I restarted by placing my assets folder in again and my character is walking, so the animation is perfect. Just the pixelation when I zoom in. I also made it 3D layer for the camera to still if that would help but no.

I'm having a repeat, and incredibly annoying bug happen with the latest AE.  I'm working in a particularly complex project, plenty of EXR passes, Particular, optical flares, RSMB, etc going on. It takes a long time to render (no problem there, that is as expected). When I RAM preview comps in it and then hit escape to stop RAM previewing, as it has taken so long to RAM preview the Autosave function kicks in straight away. Instead of Autosaving the autosave box pops up, completely greyed out and then AE just hangs there for eternity, meaning that I have to kill AE via the Task Manager and restart it - losing both my project progress and RAM preview progress (that may have taken 20-60 minutes to do). I don't particularly want to have to turn autosave off everytime I do a lengthy RAM preview. Also, when rendering the composite out via the Render Queue I'm having it hang on me when I cancel it there, also meaning that I have to restart AE. Please get this fixed!&nb
