After Effects

Hello, I just installed Rubber hose 2. but It does not show the stroke. instead, it shows a dotted line.I have changed the project setting expression from java to legacy. still, nothing works! Please help.  

I have a long expression but, isolating and trouble shooting one part of it for example's sake: z = time; throw z;Values are inconsistent, and innaccurate. For example, in a 2 second, 23.976 fps comp:Frame 24 (1 second) throws z as 2.002 seconds. Frame 12 (0.5 seconds)... also 2.002 seconds. Deleting the code, then re pasting it exactly the same as before:Frame 24 (1 second) throws z as 0.95 seconds. Frame 12 (0.5 seconds)... back to 2.002 seconds.Back to Frame 24 (1 second), we're back to 2.002 again.  Seems like after a few clicks, the time variable is gets "caught" by the comp duration.Any ideas?   

There are fonts, where the numbers are "old style figures" (screenshot).In InDesign and Illustrator it's no problem to change them to normal "Lining Figures" via OpenType configurations. I couldn't find that in After Effects. Is there any way to change that in AE?

Every time I open my new project after following these instructions, this message pops up on the screen again.  

I have completed an edit in Premiere which has a mixture of Rec709 and 2100 HLG footage, the sequence is set to 709. When I replace an Rec2100 clip with After Effects Composition, AE appears to interpret the footage completely differently from PR. I tried setting interpreting the footage to 709 and replacing clip this way but same problem. I started brand new projects and imported and set everything manually and the same problem still occurs.  I've checked that all colour management settings match, interpreted footage to make sure they're the same colour space... I've tried everything I can possibly think of to get the AE comp to look the same colour as it does on the PR timeline... but I just can't get them to match.  Any ideas?

Warp stabilizer has seemed to stop working despite normal trouble shooting methods. no crashes, just never proceeds form the "Analyzing step 1" stage

Hallo,I have installed last version of Maxon Cinema4D 2025, I got latest version of After Effects 2024 and even beta 2025 on my machine. When I try to load or create c4d file, afx says there is no cinema4D 2024. Is there a way to change path somewhere or do I have to wait for adobe plugin update cineware 2025 ? Is it even planed ?Thank you.JLukas

My project is set at 24fps, in Preferences > Import > Sequence Footage I have set 24fps for every footage I import.When importing a PSD file as a Composition, this comp is set at 29.97fps. Same thing for every PSD group. I import many PSD every day, so it is annoying to remember every time that I have to manually change framerate.Is there a way to set the default framerate of an imported PSD file?thanks,Lo

 I didn't use about a month. Meantime, updated to After Effect program 23.6. I want to use AE, but Program give me crash and a message prompt:"We detected a crash in your last session. Crashes can potentially be caused by faulty plugins or corrupt preferences. We recommend starting a Safe Mode session in order to diagnose the problem. During a Safe Mode session default preferences are used and 3rd effect plugins can be disabled."    I tried the followings refer to this:Putting it in Safe Mode -  tried open project, but...crashReset Preferences - tried open project, but...crashManaged Plugins disabled all plugins - tried open project, but...crashUninstalled Plugins and restarted computer - tried open project, but...crashUninstalled AE and Reinstalled - tried open project, but...crashDowngraded to previous update - tried open project, but...crashUpgraded GPU Driver version I use(Nvidia) - tried open project, but...crashChecked Huion tablet driver -

Hi, I'm getting the following error when I try to load AE:After Effect's can't continue: internal structure inconsistency (g) (25 :: 2)Running AE 2022.

Parenting Option gone on AE 2025!Was fine on all previous versions including 2025 but when the new one auto installed it was no longer available.

Since I updated my computer, my sapphire, and effects and presets tabs have not worked and instantly crashed after-effects.

Hello, I am having trouble exporting a transparent video from AE. I have made the background transparent on my video as well as the fill (only a short animation of the stroke), Everything shows up correct on the AE preview with the right transperincies the problem is the export. When I add it to the render queue I make sure to change the settings to:QuickTime, RGB + Alpha, Apple ProRes 4444and it still comes out with a black background... I've tried compressing the file after and selecting preserving but still black.  Please help! Thank you

I would like to animate a number going from 10^1 to 10^10, by having the exponent count from 1 to 10.I have a slider going from 1 to 10 and then set the source text with an expression.But then I can't set this exponent to be in superscript.How do I do this?

Hi, I have a question. so recently I ended a project. It was 4000 x 4000. but later I needed it into 1980x1020. so I copied (Copy paste) the original AE file in the same folder and Created a new project with 1920 x 1080 dimension. and imported the copied AE file into the new project and from there I am redoing some animation  to fit 1920 x 1080 screen. After a while suddenly a thought came into mind and it drives me crazy. Will this copied AE file hamper the original one (4000 x 4000). Yes or No, Please help me. Yes or No

I have this layer with Separated DimensionsThe Y is animated with keyframes. The X has no keyframes.When I move the layer in the X direction (with shift pressed, so constrained - Y is not changed),Y gets a keyframe, while it shouldn't, because the value is not changed. Please respect Separated Dimensions when repositionin in one direction. Only add a keyframe when the value of a keyframed track changes.  

Hey guys! I've tried to install After Effects in my PC but it keeps telling me Retry... I don't know why. Any ideas on how I can resolve this challenge. It's too frustrating 

I am following a tutorial and my bend is behaving strangely. I set the start and end to receive the desired effect and I set the rotation with keyframes, when the shape turns, it breaks completely and I cannot use the bend as I would like. I noticed that the start does not follow the shape and stays in the same place. How can I fix this, and why doesn't the Grow bounds work? 

I have been running AE 25.1 with no problem (or maybe it ws an older version. Today I open a project on my Mac running Sonoma 14.6.1 and there is no written information on the screen. The only words on the entire screen are the menu items on the right. When I move something to the render cue, it also is blank:  It's a little hard to work with out the written info, names etc.

I have a new M4 Max and have the most up to date After Effects 25.1 and i have some scripts I installed and they crash AE everytime and give an error message attached. These work on my M1. 

Hi, I've been trying to fix this issue on my own for the past few days and have met dead ends and I would really appreciate some help/insight. I've been trying to use the two effects, Numbers and Timecode, which are both under the text category of the effects and presets menu. Unfortunately, whenever I do try to use these effects, AE freezes, turns into that white lifted screen, and just crashes, forcing me to force quit the session.  So far I have tried:- Trying after restarting the PC (Not just restart, but like a full shut down, turn back on, and then trying)- Uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects 2024 and 2025 (I believe the versions I was using were 24.6.3 and 25.01)- Running the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, and reinstalling AE- Updating the GPU (My machine is using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Windows 11, 32GB RAM )- Disabling third-party plugins in safe mode- Checking off the "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" while testin

Hello,I’ve had a version of After Effects installed on my computer for some time now, and it has always worked perfectly until a few weeks ago. Since then, a blank black screen has replaced my compositions, regardless of the project I open. I’ve tried finding solutions on forums, but nothing has worked. I’ve uninstalled almost all of my software to avoid compatibility issues, changed versions of After Effects, reinstalled new drivers for my graphics card and processor… but still nothing.I’ve restarted the software while resetting my preferences and even launched it in safe mode with Ctrl+Shift+Alt, but no improvement. Finally, I’ve tried changing the preview settings by toggling between Mercury GPU/CPU settings, but still no success.I’m quite worried as I can’t seem to find a solution. If it helps, I’ve noticed that when I enable “full screen” in the preview settings, I experience significant display bugs but still no visual output of my scenes.If you know of a solution, I’d great

Not really sure whats going on but I have several different mp4 files on my computer all downloaded through the same method but a select few of the files I downloeded more recently, turn into mp3's when I put them into the compisition. This used to only happen with 1/8 of my files but now every new file I download and import into After Effects turns into an MP3 and I'm not sure what to do. The MP4's play fine on any media player app I have but the second I place them into the timeline the video dissapears but the audio remains. Please help.

Hi, I just upgraded my computer from an old 4930k to Ultra 285k.  I have 196gb of ram, 2x 2070, all m2 ssds. I upgraded to AE 2025.  Everything is running much faster than before, which is great news.  The only issue, is that the render queue window is very laggy.  When I press Ctrl - M, it takes a few seconds for the render queue to appear.  Also, when scrolling through older renders, it's very slow. This seems odd since everything else is working as it should. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks,Olivier
