Hi all,I am new to After Effects and I am using the 2018 version. I have watched the lynda.com introduction videos to after effects and read articles as well. when I open up the after effects and I import an image, it just refuses to populate on my screen. Below is a screen shot of the image I just getting. Is something wrong with my setting? am i missing something? please help me out.

Hello everyoneAs designers, we create many projects and archive them. Sometimes, we need to revisit them, but perhaps we forget the content. It would be nice if Adobe could create an option that allows designers to see the preview without opening projects. This would save designers a lot of time.

Do you guys know what's happening here? I'm following a tutorial to the tee and I'm not sure why mine is different from Hieu Vu's. He duplicated the first wave layer and put it on top and changed the blending mode to darker color. I want the light blue to appear in and out on the thin white wave as its moving, but it's just covering the white wave. Interestingly, when I change wave 4 to a light yellow, it works. However, thats not the color that I want. I want the light blue to appear on the white wave, not yellow. I've tried precomposing wave 4 and the white wave layer and used the darker color blending mode but that doesn't work either. This is the tutorial that I'm following: https://youtu.be/xE4ItYkaITs?si=zJTDclkXUM9lUDVa 

I was handed a project from someone else and can't figure out how to undo a default setting that's imposed on the renders. In the Render Queue, I'm seeing my [Comp Name].File Extension, which is how I'd like it saved (image 01). I'm aware that when I click the dropdown to the left of my output, I can select "Comp Name" and set as default, which I've tried (image 02). But it's not saving like that, it's defaulting to saving in a subfolder with a completely different naming structure (image 03). I have to manually select the file name in the render queue and deselect "save to subfolder" and rename the file there. What am I missing? This does not seem to be the case with all comps in the project, only certain ones... but I'm trying to learn more about how to undo this process mostly for future reference (and because it's annoying for this project). Thanks!Jeremy

I have generated a 3D Tracker Camera and a Track Solid (blue rectangle). I have then imported an image (greyish square). I would now like to match the tracking date of that Track Solid. Also, if possible, I would like to match the size and orientation of the greyish square to the size and orientation of the Track Solid. Can this be done, and if yes, any idea how? Thanks

Hi guys,I'm somewhat new to After Effects and I'm wondering how to setup a good workflow for my problem. I have more experience with Illustrator and Photoshop, so forgive me if I have the wrong expectations on how to use After Effects.My problem:I have 40+ text layers that need to be animated independently at specific times (I'm using an audio track waveform to know when to animate). The animation should be the same for each text element, so I can create an Animation Preset that I can apply to each text layer at the time set by current timeline cursor position. Great, I don't have to repeat the same animation so many times. First part of the problem solved.The animation preset I'm applying to the text is called "Blink". It has 4 keyframes for color and 4 for scale. These take place in less that 0.5s. The color goes (black, yellow, yellow, black), the scale goes (100, 150, 150, 100), for each respective keyframe.Now, after appllying the animation to all 40+ text layers, I need to be abl

Hey guys, I have already made a text animation with the Animator 1. I wanted to save it as a preset for later use. I always get this error on the screen 😞     After Effects error: File couldn´t be opened for writing: /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2020/Presets/Text/Animate In/Drwstr Type Fade In.ffx". ( 3::0 ) Have anyone found a solution for this error? Please let me know if you have something that could help.

Totally new to after effects.  Trying to track an animated file in MP4 format using tracker.  I've got the tracking portion figured out, but I never get the "apply" button to activate - it stays greyed out.  Also under "motion target" I can't select either button.Would appreciate any help very much - I have a project I'm doing for my son's soccer team and I have to present it next week!I do note that if I select stabilize it then allows both fields to be active and apply be clicked, but I don't want to stabilize, I want to create a motion tracker so I can insert a face into the moving area.

Hey smart people, I'm trying to convert some .rw2 raw image sequences in After Effects to ProRes 4444 .mov video files to be keyed, edited, and graded in Davinci Resolve while preserving as much information and color as possible (as Davinci doesn't read .rw2 which is such a shame). It should be a rather simple workflow, and I had done it countless times before, until recently, the rendered out .mov color totally doesn't match the original raw image, and doesn't even match the preview in After Effects! I'm not sure if it's me somehow changed the settings somewhere accidentally. But I tried to do it in a brand new project and tried starting the app in safe mode, yet to the same faulty color result. After Effects ver. 24.5MacOS Sonoma Version 14.5Apple M1 Max chip32GB memory The image sequence info and project color settings are as below - Output settings -I've also tried all sorts of combinations of different project color space settings and different output sett

Hello! I have a problem with RAM preview in Ae.At some point, the preview stops working and only manual scrolling works. I tried everything that is usually advised in this case:1) clearing the cache does not help2) clearing memory does not help3) restarting the project does not help4) "eye" on the preview panel is active5) enabling / disabling multi-core rendering does not help6) enabling / disabling the cache does not help7) changing the resolution of the preview does not help (which is full, half, third, quarter, etc.) Only a complete restart of Ae helps from this, which greatly complicates my work. I have 64 GB of memory, so I can't suspect a lack of memory in any way. For Ae, 58 GB is allocated. The cache is located on a fast HBME SSD (not a system disk), there is also enough space.Ihave the latest versions of Adobe, Windows and drivers. What could be the problem?Please help I'm tired of this...PC Specs:Lenovo Legion 7 16ACHg6CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX (3,30 GHz)R

Since updating to AE2023 version, I have been experiencing a bug that prompts an "Unknown Exception" error. One of the AI links in the project triggers this bug, making it impossible to preview. The only workaround is either disabling the AI layer or closing and reopening the project. It seems that there might be a bug with the link itself. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Trying to use aerender.exe through the command line to automate rendering multiple compositions used within one another. When I make a change to a comp though it isn't rendering that change, it is rendering what was rendered before (as if it's rendering cached files as opposed to it's current version).

Hi, My After Effects 2023 keeps crashing when using Camera Lens Blur effects or rendering 3D layers with simple camera movement. I already tried resetting my Windows and also re-installing After Effects multiple times. I'm not using or have any 3rd party plugins installed. My current configuration is the following:i7 10700F64GB DDR4 RAM CorsairGTX 1050Ti Thank you! 

When ram previewing in ACES, it is really slow. If I change the display mode to none, it is back to normal speed, but as soon as I put the ACES/srgb display mode, it il really slow. 

 Super frustrating. This has been happening the last 2 days. I updated my drivers, restarted my computer. Black screen or glitch screen on layer panel when doing anything. Motion track, clone tool, paint tool.AMD ryzen threadripper pro 5975WX256GB RAMSSDs2x 4090 NVIDIA GPUs  

Hi there! First time posting something here. I've seemingly looked everywhere and can't find someone who has this same problem. I'm on Windows, AE 2023. Whenever I go to import a video or photo (this case, a .png), it will not show up. It will only outline the borders of it? This is a direct screenshot of what I see when I try to import something. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you! 

Posting the bug here, this thing is still around since 2015, I hope this time can get solved once and for all!AE 23.4.0 - Windows 11The first camera is correctly solved, subsequent tries to solve additional cameras will get stuck on "initializing..." (different comps, one tracker per comp).You can temporarily solve the issue by rebooting After Effects.

Hello.  Am working in AE 23.3.0 and as of today, am finding my working Colour Space in the Comp Window is not matching Visually what it should be, what it looked like yesterday, and what the renders look like.  A restart of computer did not fix.Please help... its very hard to work with such a disconnect.  Picture of settings attached.  And pictures of visual problem attached.

I created a 360 degrees image with Blockade Labs and I've edited it on AE through the VR Comp Editor. Then I exported it as monoscope and uploaded on Youtube. Unfortunately when I play the 360° video on Youtube a vertical line, which is the image stitching (I suppose), appears in the middle of the frame. It is strange because there isn't any line during the editign process and I can rotate 360° image whithout seeing the stiching. 

Após a atualização para a versão 24.5, o Cineware Maxon Export não funciona mais, clico para exportar e não há resposta, há uns 10 dias quando fiz a ultima exportação estava tudo em ordem, atualizou, e agora não consigo mais exportar, o C4d esta instalado corretamente, consta na lista do AE, esta funcional,
