After Effects

I’m working on a creative project for a client (https://emiratesappliances.com/), where I’ve been given a set of product clips to stitch together into a compelling visual story. The concept involves imagining a rare appliance malfunction that would make the video curious and thought-provoking. Here’s the problem I’m facing: I’ve applied motion blur effects in After Effects to simulate a chaotic moment where an appliance malfunctions, but I keep encountering a weird artifact issue. The blur seems to generate ghost-like frames that don’t sync properly, causing a jittery look in the rendered output. I’ve tried adjusting the shutter angle, sample rates, and pre-composing the layers, but nothing seems to work. This issue not only affects the quality of the story but also makes the scene less believable. Has anyone faced a similar problem or knows how to resolve it? Would appreciate any tips to ensure the motion blur effect runs smoothly! 

Getting this error, every time there's some text layer.A new fresh project, new composition, add 1 layer of text, type 3 letters, and boom!!! Error.It's frustrating, I've got to do a kinetic type project. This occurs in AE 18.4.1 and 21.1.1 iMacPro/10core/64GB/Vega64/ AE 21.1.1

Is it possible to distribute videos created with the personal version of After Effects as paid content?

But no they are not. There is absolutely no missing footage in my comp but for some reason it refuses to render anyway. I haven't found anything else so somehow I suppose this is a unique problem. The render freezes and will not finish despite this being a false claim made by the program. And yes, it previews fine so there's no effects hindering it

Have a problem when open AE project with mp4 video - it is shown with incorrect size (1088 x 1920 instead of 1080 x 1920). Also it looks 4 times smaller than it has to be and the rest of it's area filled with strange lines (on the screenshot). It happens on laptop Asus ROG Strix G18 laptop. On another Device (PC) where this AE project was created it is shown fine. I always have to convert MP4 files to MOV and then everything is ok. Need help.

I've been working on this for hours, was able to view every single layer, used the puppet tool/keyframes on multiple layers, previewed the composition, etc. Then it suddenly decided to go completely invisible. When I click a layer I see the white boxes of where it is, but not the actual image. When I try to preview it says it can't get 2 cached images. I can click the layers in the "project" section and it shows the small image of it, but won't show on the primary viewer. I have tried purging the memory/cache, restarting the program, restarting my computer, don't have any GPU updates, none of it works. I've tried checking/rechecking every box in the preview section,  tried checking/unchecking "preserve framerate/resolution" in comp setting. There is no audio in this file, only images, but I still tried right clicking and unchecking the "audio" selection for preview. I can open the orignal PSD file (as if I'm starting it over) and it shows the iamges, but it doesn't show

I need to download AE 2023.3. But Cloud CC can only be downloaded for the minimum version of 2024

I have added cinema 4d previously but I had to delete it from applications because of lack of storage. I need to get it again but when I go to the app it says that its already been added since I have technically already done so. I dont think its registered that it's been deleted? Or something like that. Does anyone know how else I can add it again? 

I have a GIF I made on after effects, but it doesn't loop well and you can see where it cuts to then replay again, is there any way I can make it so this is seamless so you can barely tell it's cutting? Need the GIF to be below 10Mb aswell. 

Title says everything, cant save a preset.

Hi, Apologies for not getting the terminology correct here.  I have a short looping clip of some Christmass Holly.  The centre of the image is black, and I would like to make the black be transparent and export that to use in a media server on top of another layer. Exporting isn't a problem, I'm just not sure how best to make the balck transparent.  I have been experimenting with Set Matte, and Alpha From Lightness.  This works to a degree but is also makling my green holly transparrent.  Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I want to do a text reveal where an irregularly shaped object goes across the screen from left to right and reveals the text behind it. What's the best way to go about that?

 I  have been trying to open an after effects project file that was working fine a few hours ago but now it does this everytime I open it and after effects closes after. I tried dragging it into a different project and restarting my mac but it still won't work. I am on after effects 2022 and cannot upgrade. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, I have a solid with fractal noise, I want the noise always going downward so the first thing that comes to my mind is using the offset turbulence parameter and increasing the Y property with the "time" expression. I also want to control the speed of movement so I added a slider control to the same solid and called it "Speed". I use this code on offset turbulence but the problem is when I animate the Speed from 10 to 5, the movement should go downward with a slower speed but it goes UP, I also make a chart to show the Y changes. I don't know what is the problem. is my math incorrect or does the code have issues?thanks a lot.

 I installed the trial of automation blocks, no matter how many times I click on extensions -> automation blocks, the option never gets a check next to it, the program never opens. Anyone know a fix? Was hoping to give it a try to see how it worked for a workflow i was doing. 

In After Effects, I often get an error message about an unsupported format. This error usually occurs for MP4 and SWF. I converted both to MOV (it works mostly), but when I open the file again, it shows the error message again.

There is a yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it on my fx control panel when I applied an effect to a path. and the effect doesn't work. what is the problem here and could anyone please help? 

This problem used to crop up from time to time in every version of AE CC and I could never figure out what caused it.  I had the issue with CC 15.3, so I tried updating to 2017 to see if it solved the problem.  No dice.  Basically, I can't highlight or change any of my text layers.  I can't even create a new text layer.  I can select the layer in the timeline or in the comp window, but when I double-click the layer, it highlights for a split second and then the bounding box re-appears.  I'm not sure if I've inadvertently set something to cause this or what.

Hi all,I have a Cep panel which works brilliantly on Windows but I can't make these lines work on MacOS.document.addEventListener('keydown', keyDown);document.addEventListener('keyup', keyUp);I tried with document, window and various elements, I tried jquery and .onmousedown.They just don't work on Mac. Do you have any idea why?
