I'm new to the design world, and I recently saw a video made with After Effects where a wall and ground seamlessly joined together with a pattern of green lines, which appeared to be in PNG format. It looked like the wall and ground had the exact same pattern. I'm interested in finding and purchasing similar patterns that can be used for both walls and grounds, as shown in the attached image.Does this type of pattern have a specific name? I know there are seamless patterns, but do they have the same name when it comes to 3D designs? My questions are:What do we call such patterns?Where can I purchase them? Thank you in advance! 

Hi Is it possible to 3D extrude a video using a depthmap using the new inbuilt 3D engine, or any of the alternatives?  I’m trying to emulate what Davinici Resolve does natively with kind of 3D displacement extrusion as can be (sort of) seen in pic above. This is generated with a 2D video image and a greyscale depthmap. I know you can achieve similar with displacement maps but it's not quite the same. Thanks. Andrew 

I can't for the life of me figure out how to create this path that objects will be traveling along. It's a complete walk in the park in Illustrator, but a nightmare in Aftereffects.I created a cirlce on a shape layer. The shape is Bezier Path. I cannot de-select 'closed' so that I can delete a vertex and draw my line connected to another. Why.

I'm having the hardest time finding anything about angle measurement callouts.  I would like to use something that can automate the numerical angle mesaurement to precisely measure the angle between two points. If you know an exsting template or know how to make one please let me know! I'm trying to add callouts to a video in a MOGRT for premiere pro. 

For a whole year now I've been complaining to Adobe about a problem, that there is slowness in render mode when I'm editing a video or just for example trying to roto a car I'm editing, I duplicated the layer and it started to freeze when I play the video, it's impossible to edit like that.. Does anyone have the same problem and managed to solve it on macbook m1 64ram 2021 with 1T space?

Yes, I am a rookie at this program. But I have managed to make some good videos in the past with no issue before whatsoever. I know other people have had this problem too, because I've looked through the forums, even recent ones, but there's has not been an answer yet. So, why am I not hearing any audio at all when I preview the video. I've let it load enough, all my setting are good for the audio, tried pressing (.) on the keyboard, and I have never made any major changes to my settings. Is this because of the new update? Last time I worked with AE was months ago, and it was perfectly fine.I've seen some forums talk about RAM preview, but apparently that's not a thing any more. Is it? I sure don't have the RAM preview button. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks!

In this tutorial, I show how to build a reusable phaser effect, based on those in Star Trek: The Next Generation. I've been rewatching TNG recently and it reminded me of the excellent behind-the-scenes video from FXGuide  where they looked in the remastering process for the series. At one point, they discuss how they used Flame to reproduce the look of the phasers. These effects were originally achieved in 1987 using Quantel Paintbox and so now, I thought it's past time to demonstrate how you can use After Effects to get the same look.   The challenge with After Effects in making a multi-layered effect is how to make it reusable, but thanks Essential Graphics, this problem disappears. So in this video, I start with creating a null packed with all the options by using Expression Controls (found in the Effects menu). Then I apply the Beam effect to create the beam, but I add Turbulent Noise to create a sense of plasma. Next I use some expressions to create some 3D controls bef

Anyone have a download link to use After effects 2020? Currently on After effects 23.5, trying to use 17.1/2020 after effects.

Hey all,So I'm essentially a complete beginner with AE. I downloaded a pre-constructed project from a site, in order to have an intro bumper for a client of mine. Whenever I try to render it, it fails at 1:10, and gives me the error "Adobe After Affects Error 17 ::45 Unable to Invert Matrix". I don't know what's happening, or if I am doing anything wrong. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.I downloaded this with the expectation that the file would render with my text/graphics without any further effort, and am completely lost about how to fix it. Most of my searches return links from 6+ years ago.Thanks in advance.

I can't see any video devices in my preferences, (I'm trying to create a VR headset viewport) Hardware: What I've done so far:Reinstalled After EffectsInstalled Latest Nvidea Cuda SoftwareInstalled Cinema 4D (just incase) I've searched everywhere online, I have seen other people with the same issue, but not yet any solutions.  Any help would be so appreciated. No idea what to do  

I've been trying to fix this problem for a while now and I've looked all over the internet and to try and fix it. I still haven't found anything. I will break it down now and give specifics. I have some rgx. files and MBLooks. files that I am trying to import to my project. I'm aware that when having any version 14 and up they use rgx. files and when you apply MBLooks. files they convert to rgx. naturally. When you import your own preset it goes into the natural file location and usually you will see it at the bottom left of the looks page when applying a custom preset. None of my custom presets show up at the bottom so I am unable to apply them to my project. This would me just easier if these were ffx. files that way I can just use them as user presets. I don't seen a way to convert rgx. to ffx. files. I went from version 13, to 14, to 16 and I had the same problem for all of them. I will attach a imgur gif link of me trying to import and or use the file. I also tried saving a ffx. f

Hello community, I'm getting an error: "Advanced 3D is not supported by the current hardware" Should my macbook pro be able to run AE Advanced 3D whth the following specs? 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X  Here is the guide from Adobe (screenshot & link are same info): https://helpx.adobe.com/in/after-effects/system-requirements.html#macos Thanks for any input folks. Jo

Hi everyone, I've encountered a 3D behavior in After Effects that I'm unfamiliar with. There's a 3D layer I can see in the active camera but not in custom view (or any other preset view, such as Front, Left, Custom View 2, etc. However, Default does work). After some testing, this only happens with precomp layers where I enable "Collapse Transformations". The 3D room is precomped to keep it self-contained (and I need to reuse it for multiple comps), but that seems to make it invisible to the custom view. I did not mark the precomp as a 3D layer, as collapse transformations is all I need to make it 3D (plus I don't need to move the room). Interestingly, if I do enable "3D layer" on the precomp while it has collapse transformations enabled, I can see the wireframes of the objects in the custom view though they're still invisible. Below is a screenshot of what I see. The left view is the active camera and the right is custom view 1. I lined up the custom view to roughly the same

Hi, I am experimenting lInear expression. but not getting expected result. What I imagined is when the ball will touch the edge of the comp it will  disapper, because in my expression I wrote that, but the ball remain transparent, I can see it, it supposed to be gone (I mean opacity zero means its not visible). I must have done someting wrong. guide me please. 😥     

Good day, This is breaking my head and then some. I have content that need to rotate around its centre. I want to do this with this expression:Rotating expression:amplitude = 1; // Reduced for less tiltingfrequency = 0.2; // Slower movementrotation = amplitude * Math.sin(time * frequency * 2 * Math.PI);-rotation // Invert the tilting motion to simulate correct movementPosition expression:amplitude = 60; // Increased for more pronounced bobbingfrequency = 0.2; // Slower movementy = amplitude * Math.sin(time * frequency * 2 * Math.PI);value + [0, y]When use this the rotation seems off centre.  What am I missing?thanks.  Its part of a position and rotating expression where the movement of a ship  is simulated. The problem however is that the tilting doesnt seem to be happening from the centre, even as the anchor point is in the centre. 

I'm confused after updating AE to the latest version .a I can't launch it and i face these following issues even if I tried many times to delete and reinstall it but It won't launch :And finally it shows this :

Hi,Is it possible to open the AE 24.5 project in an older version?I have a MacPro from 2013 and unfortunately I cannot install the latest versions of AE and ApPro. I received an important project from a client that was created in version 24.5 and I need to run it and save it to an older version. If it is possible?

so i got this weird problem... i cannot select my layers with the selection tool in after effects, i need to go to 'all the layers thingy' to select what i want and since i have a bunch of layers, its really annoying...i hope i explained it right.. can anyone help me please?

Hi, I am trying to wigle only y sxis. That means its [1]. In first case the cloud changes its position,ignoring the keyframe value of  X axis. and in 2nd case cloud stops wiggling but remain in where I want it to be. whai am doing wrong? 😥  

Hello, I would like to ask a question, that is, in the development of AE SDK plug-in, how to get the value of the key frame selected by the mouse. I checked the SDK documentation and AEGP_GetNewStreamValue () seemed to work, but when I ran it, it showed no current constext. I don't know what the problem is. Or is there a similar case? Let me learn from it. Thank you very much

I Have a RTX 3060, but the After only use my AMD GPU (Integrated graphics). I dont have any cable on the motherboard, only in the GPU. Every other app runs fine, only the After does that.  My processor is Ryzen 9 7900x.

I downloaded a template from Envato and it's missing a layer of footage and I can't figure out how to add it in.. It's missing Footage 11, it goes with the Strategy layer. I tried to duplicate Footage 10 and changed the layer name but it links the footage images together. How can I add in that missing layer but keep the same effects on it?  Thanks!  

The tab order on the edit rotation keyframe modal feels backwards - when first opened the active field is Degrees, tab then moves up to Revolutions, then down to the checkbox and buttons. Steps:Add rotation keyframeDouble click to open the edit modalPress tab to move between fields. Expected behaviour:Revolutions is the active field when the modal is opened, and the tab order goes to Degrees after that. Win 10, AE Beta 24.5.0 (build 41) Cheers!

i save all the files but i can't quit the app
