After Effects

Trying to remove text and/or logos from some videos. Running After Effects 23.6 under Windows 10 64 bit. This is a sample video for test purposes. Tried using Content Aware Fill with various settings of Feathering and/or Alpha Expansion. But the results are not really good enough with blurring and/or smearing inplace of the text/logo! How to get the best possible result of removing text and logo from the video? Thank you. Test Video

Problem: Shift + arrow keys to nudge footage is inconsistent in values depending on zoom. Zoomed in moves a fraction, whilst zoomed out moves 10pxSteps to reproduce:I was in a comp scaled 1080x1350.Inside the comp i have a pre-comp with continous rasterization scaled at 70%. the scaled comp has a resolution of 1920x1080.If i am zoomed in quite a bit like 400% it moves the composition layer by a fractionIf i am zoomed in at 50% it moves the comp layer 10px. making nudging with shift + arrow keys inconsistent.there's no further documentation stating that this is the intended way making this a potential bugAfter Effects 25.5.0mac os 26.0.1 (25A362)Apple M2 Max

When updating the contents of a dropdown menu via scripting (using .setPropertyParameters), the name of the effect gets reverted back to whatever name it had when it was created (which is usually 'Dropdown Menu Control').

Hi, I’m investigating speed differences between Fractal Noise and Turbulent Noise. There’s a lot of decade-old videos on YouTube and documentation on the web saying that Turbulent Noise renders faster than Fractal Noise. Even the most-up-to-date official AE help pages say that "The Turbulent Noise effect takes less time to render." ( https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/noise-grain-effects.html ) However that is not my experience at all on my M2 Mac Studio running AE 2025, where Turbulent Noise performs worse than Fractal Noise. I have significantly faster (up to 3 times faster) renders with Fractal Noise versus Turbulent Noise. An Adobe Community thread from 2017 mentions that Fractal Noise was a new addition to the GPU accelerated family in 2017. ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/fractal-noise-bug/td-p/9294540 ) I examined my GPU usage in Activity Monitor and found that Fractal Noise utilizes my GPU much more effectively than Turbulent Noise. So I'm wo

I'm trying to zoom out with the character staying in place, but as you can see in the video, the character follows the camera. How can I lock it in place?

Since updating apps last week, any Illustrator files imported to After Effects include duplicates of each layer that are blank 1x1px. As they also duplicate the layer names, this leads to layers "disappearing" later when reopening/editing files as they've re-linked layers to these "blank" layers.

Every time I start up After Effects I'm getting the 'disc cache full' pop-up box (see screenshot) - yet my cache is empty and my hard drive has space on it. Screenshots showing that my disc cache is set to 92GB and my hard drive has 220GB of free space.

When you use * or / operators to change a locked scale property, it only changes both dimensions if you type after the current value. It changes only the dimension you're editing if you type it in place of the value. so: [100*2,100] = [200,200]but: [*2,100] = [200,100] If this is an intentional feature, it's confusing because it only does this for * or / , not + or - . (ie. [+2,100] = [102,102])Common Use Case: When working in a resolution different from source artwork (eg. 4k vs 1080p) it can be useful to tab through properties to affect both position and scale of a layer, like selecting X Position and then typing  *2 [tab] *2 [tab] *2. When attempting this workflow, this bug causes the resulting scale property to be [200,100] vs the intended [200,200]. Recommended Fix: When locked, all mathematical operators should affect both dimensions of a scale property.

The latest version of After Effects freezes up my intel iMac. I have to switch off and restart the computer as everything - even the mouse - freezes. I've never had any issues at running AE on this machine before nor in the many, many years I've been using it. It's driving me crazy as I can't do any work with AE. I don't have any 3rd party plug-ins installed so that's not the issues. I don't have any issues with any other software.My iMac spec is 3.8Ghz 8-Core i7, with 128GB RAMI'd be grateful for any solution to this?

after rendering my video is about 1.5x faster than the preview. I've already checked and the preview plays 20fps, as my comp is set to 20fps aswell. I reinstalled ae on my new pc as this happened on my old pc aswell and the problem is still happening please help

About two days ago I was working on an edit in After Effects 2020. I opened Google to look for an image and suddenly both After Effects and Google crashed (at least I think both did — I’m not 100% sure). I didn’t panic because crashes happen sometimes, but after that, AE wouldn’t let me reopen my project. I thought my laptop might’ve overheated because the fans were going crazy, so I let it cool down. The next day, I opened After Effects again — it worked fine at first. But when I tried to open my project, it just wouldn’t load. What’s weird is that I can make new projects and open them with no issues, but my older projects won't open anymore, except I've tried opening a project I've made in August and that worked but the one that I need doesn't open I’ve tried everything I could think of:• Resetting my AE preferences (like six times)• Restarting my laptop• Updating my system• Basically every fix I found online Nothing works. I’ve never had this issue before and I have n

Hello Everyone, Hoping to find a solution for this issue here. I just updated my AE to version 25.2 and when I opened my project it gave me a message that Deep Glow effect is missing. I manually checked and saved the effect in the plugins folder as what was suggested in tutorials but it still showing as missing when I open After Effects. Anyone had the same issue? 

I recently updated my Premiere & After Effects to 25.6. I would normally duplicate my footage in my sequence on the above layer, then right click and click "Replace to After Effects Composition." Normally, it would place the footage in the After Effects software, but now it doesn't show it at all. Is there a fix to this?Photos included.  

I've been getting the following error when opening After Effects: "After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load Please reinstall these plugins:" The supposed location is not there, and the only found effects are for Premiere and not AE. They also don't show in the effects manager panel to turn off. I don't use them/know what they are for, but it leads to my AE crashing continuously while working.  I reinstalled AE and deleted my preferences and I'm still having the issue. Running version 25.6 and Red Giant/Universe is updated as well, been an ongoing issue for 4+ months. Thank you!

I have a simple line animation (with expressions) that simulates a waveform audio visualization.Is there any way with expressions to include it in a (responsive time with intro/outr) mogrt, and be unaffected when I extend the unprotected area ?

After Effects 25.6 decided to stop working and it is racking my brain on what happen. I have manually trashed the preferences, unistall/installed AE and all my adobe apps (including cloud), and have deleted the few plugins/extensions I do use (Artlist.io and Animation composer) and have restarted my computer. Tried the tips in this post but none of those plugins are used on this computer. The beach ball of death pops up during the repair options and I have to force quit the app everytime.  The same happens with previous versions of AE now but AE Beta seems to work just fine. Running on Apple M2 Max64 GB MemoryTahoe 26.1
