After Effects

Is there any way to get After Effects to read this? Any way to repair it? Or troubleshooting methods? Unfortunately, I need this version of the file. I had done about a day's worth of work, and all the auto-saves give me the same error. I'm really not sure what happened. Everything worked fine, I did my renders, sent it off to the client and now a week later, it's giving me issues.

 I have a variable defined as aaa= layer.property("Source Text").value;.To avoid modifying aaaa during subsequent processing, I created another variable called bbb:var bbb = aaa;However, when I modify bbb as follows:bbb.text = ccc.text;I noticed that aaa.text gets modified as well.How can I resolve this issue?

I am an animation designer on Adobe After Effects. Recently, I designed some animated stickers and tried to export them on bodymovin, but there are many layers (animations and effects) that were not successfully exported.That is, the sticker is exported, but it is missing some layers, such as cc light sweep.When I see some Channels specialized in this field, I know that they use the same effects and their stickers are exported successfully and completely. I attached an example for the kind of stickers I saw ..  Please, I need help with this urgently..

Hello I have been using After effects 2015.3. When I was rigging my character the warning come up I tried to click ok untill it gone. After that I moved the puppet tool the program crashes and shut my computer down. It happened when I'm moving the puppet tool. I through it because of my computer RAM but I already add more RAM yesterday now I have 16 GB. My laptop window is window 10. I would like to know how can I fixed this problem?

Every time I want to make an advanced stabilization, I need to hit the "show track points" button and then manually erase the un-wanted points over time.This process is very slow and laggy.While I am trying to select the points with the lasso tool, the software just hangs up and the whole process is very cumbersome and unresponsive.Anyone else experienced that?

Hi all. I have a project that has multiple text layers, and the content of those layers is taken from a json file.I use aerender to render that composition, but for some reason every time (or at least 9 out of 10) aerender "decides" to change the font of a glyph for a few frames.So on every render I get some blinking characters that just look like those characters are rendered with a different for for a few frames.I get a blinking effects, because they are not a different font for the entire duration of the layer, but something like 10 frames correct font, 3 frames wrong font etc.This does not happen with the whole text layer, but rather one or a few characters.This does not happen on same layers/characters on each render.This does not happen on all layers, but rather on ~3-5 out of 20. I use this expression to get the content of the text layers, because each layer has the same name as its value form the json file:"eval("var src=" + footage("json.json").sourceText); Than

I get an error in an timeline in After Effects CS5.5: "After Effects error: could not allocate sound memory ( 26 :: 392 )" It locks my timeline totally, and keep popping up every time I say "Ok".Any solutions for this one?______Mac OS 10.7.3, 64GB RAM, 12-core MacPro

I made a video, out of a window, at night.  My camera has a red blinking light when its recording that reflected off of the window into my video, and I'm trying to remove the dot.  The video is about 18 minutes long, 59.94fps, 4k.  My vehicle is moving very fast so I need to preserve the 59.94 fps. I'd like to know how everyone recommends tpp handle this. I've tried contewnt aware but as I expected, it's taking forever.  I read another thread on here that talks about masking it to remove it, but I'm a little confused, since I don't understand how to enter something else into the mask. Thanks in advance.

So i have masked a clip to put a solid behind what i masked. There were a few other things i had to mask aswell on that same clip but other 2 masks dont seem to be working at all. I have never ran onto this problem with aftereffects so im not sure whats up. I posted a SS of what the problem is and as you can see it dosent make any sense at all. The white solid is covering the entire area behind what i have masked but those other two masks dont seem to be working. I have tried everything i know but nothing seems to have worked. When i invert the masks they just make the solid disappear.

Hello friends, I would be very happy if you could explain me step by step how to delete moving objects from the video.

So, I created a window design inside a different composition, and I want to create a size control inside the main composition. But I found a problem, when I add a keyframe in the control, the shape of the window inside the composition doesn't change, it just sticks to the value in the first keyframe.I still don't understand the expression system, so I just rely on the parent system.

Yesterday, i started to create a halloween edit. I used Element 3d and made a high quality intro for the edit, then my PC crashed, then again and did it 6 times. On the last time, i went on and went onto after effects and it said; Error with file. - This edit took 6 hours and now its gone. This is what it looked like - Today, i go onto AE, and i start the edit again. This time i do the main edit, not a problem. I start the intro and open element. Make it look nice -and it crashes a total of 3 or 4 times. On the last time, it says :So i go onto After effects, and i see this: I go onto my files, most recent save of the file was 5 mintues before it crashed, i open it and it doesn't open. Then the ones from about 2 hours before do open. but they got no useful work in. Do i need a better CPU, if so what is recommended?

Dear collegues, I have a proble with track matte, it is not displayed on the first line, an empty rectangle is visible, and this function is available on the second line. Tell me how to do the same as on the second line

I am a facing a problem and for years I feel shy to ask. Today I gather the courage to ask it. please dnt judge me. I am a naive.  Okay so in a project we have many comps, and all the comps are same in size (unless I trim that). Sometime I need to align things with two different comps. for example in attached file I want the flowers to come out from a specific part of big green box (mental health infographics) but when I open the flower comp I dnt have anything to take as a reference point about the green box’s position. I cant even copy guides from the green box’s position to flower comp. I mean am in a boat with a rudder. I dnt wanna animate flowers and then make it a comp and then position it to another comp dragging X,Y. Is there any way I can match position of one comp's some certain part with another  like I do in photoshop or illustrator by keeping the reference layer beneath and reducing the opacity? This question tormented me for years. Please help me

After Effects 2024 on MacOS Sonoma has 'Error Loading Sapphire Bundle'. I previously had downloaded Sapphire third party plugins, however, i deleted them all. I've also deleted and reinstalled After Effects multiple times but the same problem exists. 1) This. "Applications/BorisFX/Sapphire 2023Adobe/config/sapphire-ae64.bundle: filedoes not exist."A boris FX folder does not exist meaning i don't have the .bundle file.  2) I've gone through many discussion posts about this issue and many suggest to "Check your Mediacore folder and see if you still have Sapphire plugins installed/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/" However, "7.0/MediaCore/" --> this doesn't exist in my laptop  I feel like i've tried everything but im so keen on using After Effects so please help me out. I don't want any Sapphire plugins, I just want to use the effects provided so please lmk if you guys have any solutions. Any assistance will be greatly apprec

Hello everyone! So on and off for the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to recreate my YouTube channel's "Subscribe" animation that was made by someone else for practice and to add in an updated logo. However, what would seem like the easiest part of it has actually been super frustrating for me: the circle to rectangle morph I do have a decent amount of AE experience already but can't seem to figure this one out. I've tried a ton of tutorials and done the copy paste bezier path technique, messed with mask interpolation, changed first vertex, etc but I feel like I'm overcomplicating things. Anyone know an easier way to do this? Or how to just in general? I attached how it should look and how it looks with my version. Thank you!  

 Hello y'all. I have an issue. So whenever I open after effects it's doesn't load, it's just staying blank and nothing is loading. I've tried to delete and download it, I tried the taskbar Funktion, I ran after effects as administrator. Just nothing works!!! I use windows 11.

If I wanted an AE composition in HD (1080p preferably), what resolution would the composition have to be if I wanted to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio WITH a pixel aspect ratio of D1/DV NTSC (.9091)? I ask this because I shoot my footage using a MiniDV camcorder wich outputs at 720 x 480 and since the PAR of that footage is .9091 it displays a 4:3 aspect ratio with the image filling in the frame perfectly in Premiere. However, my AE comps are graphics made from scratch and since I have the ability to work at a higher resolution for them, I'd prefer to downscale them in Premiere after export for a sharper look than a 720 x 480 source. But after exporting them and bringing them into Premiere, they show up with additional pillar boxes. These exported comps were worked on in 1440 x 1080 because I assumed changing the PAR in the AE comp settings would force it to display in 4:3 (removing the pillar boxes), but unfortuantely AE doesn't automatically change resolution to confine to the PAR and a
