After Effects

I just bought a new Mac Studio, M2. Running After Effects 2023 with Rosetta and After Effects 2024 normally.  Warp Stabilize and Camera Tracking aren't working in either 2023 or 2024. Warp Stabilize will work on a piece of footage in Premiere but After Effects can't stabilize that same piece of footage (ie., it gets through the process then I get orange banner/red banner.)  I've tested pieces of footage that were stabilized fine in older versions of Pr/Ae. I've even tested pieces of footage that have already been pre-stabilized as well as a few with virtually no motion in them. I've reduced Smoothness to 1% on a piece of footage 5 frames long; no dice.  I've tried footage from 2 different Sony codecs as well as iphone footage.  The one thing I got to work was exporting an .mp4 from Premiere. Warp Stabilize finished its process but the result had no stabilization. Camera Tracker gave me the red banner on that.  Is there a box I don't hav

My pre-composed layers are deleting last frames of layer or changing their positions after i save and close the project. It happens mostly when i enable frame blending and fps of a clip are lower than fps in comp settings.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project in Adobe After Effects that involves over 350+ basic 3D layers, each containing a 2D video in its own composition (this is the only thing that the 3d layer contains). The rendering process is taking an exceptionally long time (around 3+ hours, and we haven't finished rendering the whole video since the remaining time calculator keeps adjusting).I attempted to use TurboRender, but they were unable to render the file due to an unknown error. Unfortunately, their customer support hasn't provided a resolution yet.I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to manage or optimize this project. Here are the specs of my workstation:CPU: Ryzen 7 5700XRAM: 32GB of 3500MHzGPU: RTX 3050 6GBThanks in advance for your help!

I am not sure if I can ask for templates here or not but I will post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic3JO48Ksdw&t=10s&ab_channel=InfilmAfterEffectsTemplatesI wanted to do something similar for a project. Anyone have any sample/template? 

I may have corrupted my ae project through trying to run it on a different computer. This other computer is a work computer provided to employees by a company, and I know that it has a security feature installed on it which prevents it from being allowed to write to an external drive. I only realised this after I opened up my project on it and started working.  I was unable to save my project on that computer, and now I'm back on my normal computer and I'm getting an error message about being unable to open files every time I am on the after effects window. These are the two error messages that pop up every time (Portal is the name of my SSD):  I also tried looking for that file on my computer, however I'm running into an issue with finding it. I've tried searching in finder for "temporaryitems" and I come to the search result attached below when I select folders. None of these folders seem to have anything inside.  Please help if you have any ideas on how to f

Olá, meu after e premiere começou a dar um problema como esse anexado que eu nunca havia passado.Simplesmente as divisoes de linhas pretas acontecendo como se fosse um field errado. Isso se resume ao formato .MOV. Em mp4 funciona normalmente. Já atualizei minha placa de vídeo, ja testei em versoes de after e premiere diferentes, já tenho o quicktime instalado. O que será que pode ser?Obrigado!

All elements turn black when adding a light to the scene. This is normal, in the past I just pulled the spotlight back on the Z and it expanded the area that was lit.  Now it seems, whether I move forward or back on the Z, the light shrinks and goes black in both directions. This seems like user error, but I was always able to move the light back in Z for the light to grow.  Has anyone had a similar problem?

I'm trying to archive a project, but when I go to "collect files", it says it will collect 656 files (that are 2.6 TB, apparently). The project only has 62 items in it. When I generate a report it is trying to collect all 57 clips in the camera "CLIPS001" directory (even though only 11 are in the project). Worse then that, it is trying to collect them all multiple times. Running the operation confirms that it is copying the clips multiple times (as well as creating whole folders out of scratch, emulating some camera card structure that is not what I have. I've attached a photo of that). The files were copied from the camera card (C300 Mk II), maintaining the directory hierarchy. If I move the clips out of that directory, the behavior is as expected.

Hi everyone, so this is a problem that's completely stopped my progress in an animation that I'm working on for my showreel. Basically, there's a room with a character in it and I need the animation to start from a very strong close-up of the character's leg, which is animated using the Puppet tool and end on a quick zoom out which would reveal the whole character.So naturally i zoom in with the camera and turn on continuous rasterize on the leg, so it doesn't loose quality. What I found odd and extremely troublesome is the fact that the puppet pins don't rescale accordingly to the camera zoom, so when it's zoomed in, the pins "disattach" from the leg, and stay in the same place on the screen, which obliterates the animation. An additional problem is caused by the continuous rasterize option, which when turned on, seems to be disabling the animation overall, immobilizing the leg. I'd like to ask you for any advice on that. In case there's no fix and it's just AE nature (

Hello, fellowsMy name is Daniel and I edit VR videos and post production.Since I am not comfortable with AE, I edit VR video with Premiere Pro, and only use the After Effect if necessary. Recently, I happen to learn about VR Comp Editor in AE, and the experience so far has been great.Than I realized something today, that it makes the video blurry. Here are two samples of my work. (Exported frame from Premiere Pro)As you can see, the picture on the right has more detail on the leaves.While the one on the left is slightly blurred out.I have no idea why this is happening. Could it be that I have set 'Add 2D Edit' wrong?I mean, I once set 'Comp Width' to 4096, since all of my videos are 4096 x 2048, but it doesn't seemthat it works better than the other. Is it normal to lose some detail in video?

Hello to anyone reading, I made a big screw up and I'm wondering if there's a way to recover.I have a two and a half minute video that I accidentally trimmed to the middle off with lots of images and movement across it. I've reset the time to it's proper settings but the images and such outside of the previously trimmed to area are now just incredibly small slivers.Is there a way to restore my video in any semblance to what it used to be without redoing all the work? Thank you.

how to make stipple effect like this? 

When i search effects panel for Chroma Key, it shows as Missing > Chroma Key. Ofcourse because of this its non draggable and unusable onto the footage. Keylight is there in the list.

Whenever i got to open my project, and After effects error pops up saying "After Effects effect "BCC Directional Blur" has global outflags mismatch. Code flags are 100 and PiPL flags are 6108214" (25 :: 16) How do i fix this, anyone know?

Hello everyone,I am seeking advice on whether I should purchase an Intel ARC A750 8GB DDR6 Graphics Card for my system, which includes an Intel i5-12600K processor, 4x16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 RAM, and an MSI MPG A750GF 80 Plus Gold PSU. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, on one of my comps i have a brush stroke like stock clip.....im using it against a solid...so its a wipe on brush stroke. Ive done it, set a luma key to remove the black bg and its ok. Now i want the same stroke to unwipe itself. This is where i dont know what to do. I tried laying a dup clip of the same and trying out some blending modes to see if it will do the stroke again, but this time with invisible ink, ie cancelling out the existing bursh stroke below it. Im imagining i can expand this above clip a little largerand make it into some sort of mask which can wipe out the shrunk (smaller sized) stroke below it. Just a wild guess theoroctically. Dont know how to do it. Anyone who can point me in the right direction ?

My question is can you track the camera movement of green screen footage when you don't have track markers? I have major handheld camera movement of a subject in front of a green screen but the track markers didn't show up. Trying to find out if I'm able to track the footage Within Adobe After Effects.

If you use paint, does AE blend the paint color with the solid layer in the background? 

I have a paint effect which is automatically set to grey. I don't like the color so I added the fill effect after grey on the layer name-PC. I set the color to white, but this doesn't change the color at all. I change it to red, and it becomes a darker red, almost like it blends the grey and red. I just want the font to be white. Why is my fill effect not filling?

Is there a canonical way to make sure an ecw element receives draw calls? It seems like warp stabilizer just updates the label of a button repeatedly. I just don't know how to make sure an effect plugin consistently receives UI interaction commands.

Hi. I have an issue with a text wicht I am copying from google sheets to after effects.If I type manually the text with special characteres, it does work ( the font installed, Gotham XLight, has all characteres I need ), but if I copy it from google sheets to after effects, it swapps all special characters.And if I try select all the text I pasted in AE and change its fonts to another, the special character still remains Myriad pro. Even If I try select only the special character to change. Does not work.The only way I found to make it done is type it manually. Its funny that I have another text with special characters thats works fine, no issue.  I would apreciate if someone have any ideia about it.  Tks 

Hello, I am trying to make a MOGRT for some editors to use throughout a project.I need to have the text animation visuals match up with a design, which has a faux 3D style extrusion.I also need to use a bouncy animation, which uses expressions to give an overshoot animation effect.I was told yesterday that the animation needs to feel more 3D, so I need to add a gradient to the text extrusion effect to make it look more 3D. This is where the problem is at the moment. I cannot seem to get the animation to work accurately with any kind of gradient. None of the gradients will move with the text, and as it is a template, it needs to be flexible, so in some instances, there will be 2/3 lines of text. I have attached an example of the broken gradient approach.  Is there any way of getting the gradient to work over different lines of text? I am currently using 3 ramp variations which turn off and on, based on how many lines of text there are.In the last example, you ca
