After Effects

How do I exactly animate a slow-motion hair floating (blown by the wind) or clothes moving (blown by the wind) using Adobe tools (photoshop/aftereffects/lightroom/etc...) I just wanted to create an animation that is almost as the same as this type of animation :Tokyo Machine - OKAY [Monstercat Release] - YouTube  (It's a music video with animation-the type that i wanted to create myself)Mainly, the animation would be a repetitive and no long than 10 seconds length.Thanks.

So, I'm sure this topic is out there but I'm just not finding it. I have a round 2D image (a PNG file) that I'm making rotate with some background animations.  Righit now, the image rotates  but has no depth.  I found a tutorial on YouTube but it's basically duplicating layers and after about 15 layers, it creates a square that rotates instead of just the round image. Is there an easier way to just add some depth to this PNG so it doesn't look so flat?

I've been trying to create an animation for social media in After Effects. When I try and implement a preset text animation via Bridge, I get the attached error message. I asked an After Effects expert for advice and he thought it was a bug and it should be reported to Adobe, which is what I'm doing! Any suggestions gratefully received. (My system spec: iMac Apple M3 (bought this year),  Sonoma 14.4.1,  Bridge 14.1.1,  After Effects 24.5)  

Hey, I'm encountering an issue with rendering animated GIFs that have transparency. Both After Effects and Media Encoder are producing corrupted files, as shown. The project file seems fine because I've successfully rendered this project before without any issues. I suspect the problem might be related to a recent update. I've already tried switching the render engine and creating a new project file to check, but the results are still the same.

hiwhen attempting to switch timeline tabs with wacom, often the tab "sticks" to the cursor, and the only way i found to stop it is to switch out and back into after effects (cmd+tab). then the tab gows to whichever panel the cursor was hovering on, often creating a new panel for the timeline.**this may happen in other areas of AE, but not as consistently and as often as with the timeline tabs!**i estimate this sticky behaviour has been going on for a year or two.it is possibly a misinterpretation of the wacom multydimensional input, that needs to be ignored in this instance..tech: 27i iMac 2020, sonoma 14.4.1, wacom intuos pro - all software and drives up-to-date.

I wonder, why does Rotobrush do a recalculation when you hit Freeze? What is the process behind it? What is the point? The tool isolates an object once then it does it again. Nothing changes before freezing. If you change any values it does not infleunce the freeze-unfreeze time if it once was frozen so what is the point of recalculation of the first freeze? Is there a chance Adobe will make Rotobrush take one pass of rotoscoping instead of two? Because it is really so tedious ro see it do it twice and it takes so much time.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to After Effects scripting with JavaScript. I've written a script to collect text layer properties (inTime, outTime, fontName, fontSize). Additionally, if the layer has keyframes, I need to gather the keyTime and text from those keyframes. While the script correctly collects the text properties, it doesn't accurately retrieve the text for each keyframe, instead, it returns the same text (from the first keyframe) for all keyframes. Could anyone help me resolve this issue? Below is the script I've written. Thank you!getTextLayerInfo(); function getTextLayerInfo() { var myTxtInfo_Ary = []; var myProj = app.project; var myComp = myProj.activeItem; var myLayers = myComp.layers; for (var i = 1; i <= myLayers.length; i++) { var myLayer = myLayers[i]; if (myLayer instanceof TextLayer && myLayer.enabled) { var myTxtProps = myLayer.property("Text"); for (var j = 1; j <= myTxtProps.n

Hello, Im doing an animated text inside a Rectangle.The animation is like the "Typewriter" template, but instead of opacity I used scale 0% The animation works great if i play it from frame 0, but if i grab the Text and Rectangle layer and move to the frame 100, the Rectangle is already in full size when my text is empty. Is like the size of my text is being read from the layer timeline, instead of the composition timeline.Expression im using in my Rectanglex = thisComp.layer("text").sourceRectAtTime().width;y = thisComp.layer("text").sourceRectAtTime().height;[x,y]

 Basically I'm looking to create a proportional lines that comes out of the texts from the right to the corresponding individual texts to the left; what I have in mind is either create the lines in Ai or Ps then import but I'm not sure if it would make things easier at the end or just complicate it. The image above is just a sample to what I'm working on. I came across a plugin that could do stuff like this easily but I forgot the name. The lines in the middle part were better than the rest but everything could be definitely be better.

When working with shape layers I get this message before After Effects reverts back to the state before I started adding shape layers.After Effects warning: Undo group mismatch, will attempt to fix.

After Effects is creating .CRASH files on my desktop every time I open it. It isn't crashing. Does anyone know how to change this behavior?

hello, I'm doing 2d animation on krita, and I'd like to be able to import them into after effect to rework them but without losing the different images and layers so that I can move them separately, so I can't put it in .MP4.So I've installed the OCA script for krita, which works, but the DuIO script for importing into after effect doesn't work, and I get the error message "incorrect argument".Is there any other way of importing my animations or repairing the script?Thanks for your help.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I have an extremely simple project with two adjustment layers with minimal effects and two video files. The second I enable time remapping for the video files After Effects fails to render more than a few frames and gives a low ram warning. I only have 16 GB tho, but the simplicity of the project is what concerns me. Anyone else have this issue on the new version?

Hello,I want to animate a digit with a circle. I want the digit to go from 0 to 20 and simultaneously complete the full trim path circular animation from 0 to 20.I animated the digit animation with slider control.I applied trim path to the stroke and also applied angle control to the circle.. and whipped trim path ‘end’ to the angle control so that I can animate it from 0-20 and want circle complete it’s trim path animation from 0-20. (0 first keyframe, last keyframe is 20 in angle control)but it’s not happening.At 20 (last key frame) the trim path animation stops.I understand that trim path value is 100. So to make it a full rotation I must do something so that after effects can make that 100 into ‘20’ .What is that ‘something’ I can’t figure out.. Google has nothing to offer. Please help. I am so sad.  

Hello there, I'm currently running After Effects 24.1 and Mocha 9.5.7.Mac OsX 12.1I've just tracked an object (a cellphone screen) in Mocha using the X-Spline tool. Everything worked great, until I had to export the tracking data and then copy to clipboard.In my Mocha version (9.5.7), I just don't have the Export track data button! (check image below).So, I won't be able to generate the data, and paste into After Effects.Can anyone shed a light on this? It would be great!Thanks in advance!

Hello, When I work in After Effects using the Brush Tool (not the Roto Brush Tool) I noticed that my cursor does not change to the circle of the brush size I am trying to use but remains the standard cursor. I have on occasion seen it switch but nothing seems to be triggering it and then it goes back to the regular cursor.  I am working in the Layer and not the Comp (and can see the brush strokes being painted on), ensured Caps Lock is not on, tried resetting my preferences, resetting my workspace, and updating After Effects and so far to no avail. Thanks.

Hi there, I am a bigginer of After effect and have one question.While practicing after effect's fuction (P,S,R,T) on the timeline, I can't see the number all of a sudden. Is there anyone who can help me how can I solve this matter? 

Hello, I'm struggling with getting an .exr sequence into After Effects from Nuke. The images are being exported at UHD 4k, and for some reason, AE is reading them as 11k+ size images. When re-imported to Nuke, the sequences are still in 4k UHD.  The error codes are as follows:   (0 :: 9997) Was not able to make a PFWorld/Volumes  (37 :: 3) internal verification failure (effect modules should only dispose worlds they have allocated) Decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of frames. 2 Memory limit reached errors 1_ Image buffers of size 12391 x 10885 @ 32 bpc (2.0) exceed internal limits. I genuinely don't know what to do, my .exr sequence is fine coming out of Nuke, it must be an issue on the Adobe side. If there is any information reguarding .exr pipelines and workflows, then that would be much appreciated.
