After Effects

I rendered my clip in aftereffects, and all the PNG images were getting wired background even though the images were transparent. For example in the picture below the mouse pointer is a PNG transparent image but it's getting a pink background. 

System specs:AMD Ryzen 7950x64GB RAM DDR5 @ 5600mhzRTX 4090Windows 11AE version 24.1 Steps:1. Open AE, blank project. 2. Create 16K x 16K comp3. Create a white solid at comp size4. Apply Lumetri Color to it5. At this point it will instantly say to render with software only6. Change any setting in Lumetri i.e. ExposureAE crashesBefore anyone wonders why you need 16K comp... Had a job where client wanted endframe of animation at very high res so we tried 16K x 16K. If Lumetri was applied to any layer it could not render the frame. One more problem we had was that AE couldn't even handle 16K 32bit EXRs (literally hit the internal memory limit) so we used png. 

Greetings! I'll get straight to it. Up until yesterday, I could render everything just fine. No issues. Come today, everything I put into my render queue has the last frame black. No matter what output settings, when set to the whole composition, its last frame is black. I've ensured that the contents extend beyond the time needed to export - there is content in the frames. FPS matches for each individual composition within the entire project. Anything that allowed me to alter fps, I made sure they all matched up.I'm trying to loop this footage and its ending with an empty frame. I get I can change the export to "custom" and manually change the end point, but that should not be the case for this software. I export 50+ files at a time and I cant manually make this edit each time. That shouldnt and hasnt been the case up until now. How do I tell this software to go back to what it used to do, and not produce a final black frame?I can and have created a brand new projects.

going to try to keep concise.  got the classic low memory error in after effects today. won’t preview more than 2-4 frames. it was in a very light weight project (no 3D in project. all standard built in effects.) opened the same project on a different machine and no issues at all. i have 3GB of 64GB dedicated to OTHER programs so 61GB dedicated to AE. tried multi frame rendering on and off. adaptive resolution. clearing cache, etc. restarted. tried to use an older version of AE. cache is stored on D drive with 2TB SSD storage. nothing worked. only solution was opening on a different machine. problem machine:windows 1164GB ramthe machine it worked on was an old mac pro.

Hey there, i am trying to render my after effects compositions and after i exported them they always turn out with a grey overlay which covers the footage and moves. Does someone know whats the issue is? 

I tested render quicktime + rgb + alpha + animationI got it.Here only  QUICKTIME + RGB + animationWhat i have do to repair it?

I've used Dan Ebbert's trigger animation with markers expression for years and I occasionally have an issue where an animation...glitches for lack of a better term... for a single frame during a render. When I preview the animation in AE, it plays fine. It only seems to happen once if I have multiple comp markers setup for animation. This is the code I've applied to the Time Remap property of my precomp.try{ //Trigger and Retime Precomped Animations: Apply to Time Remap action = comp(name); n = 0; if (marker.numKeys > 0){ n = marker.nearestKey(time).index; if (marker.key(n).time > time){ n--; } } if (n == 0){ 0 }else{ m = marker.key(n); myComment = m.comment; try{ actMarker = action.marker.key(myComment); originalStart = actMarker.time; originalEnd = originalStart + actMarker.duration; newStart = m.time; newEnd = newStart + m.duration; linear(time,newStart,newEnd,originalStart,original

Hi all,New strange bug in After Effects: I track a shot as usual, analyzing seems to go fine but the solve seems to be done too quick and I am presented with a handfull of static trackerpoints. There is almost always a horizontal row of points in the top left corner, as shown in attached image.To my knowing I changed nothing since a week or so, when I last used tracking successfully.Any ideas?

Hello,I have a problem and I didn't find any answers anywhere so I hop I could find one here.I wish to create a new composition to prepare a little animation to import it in another composition. Habitually I have no problem when I do that but this time, when I create a new empty composition I find a picture on my screen but there are no layers in the timeline (and I didn't used the shy layer in any composition of this project).This picture appear only when I use the this parameter: 1000px X 1000px and square pixel....While I was writing I have fund another way to do what I want but the ghost still here. For example, whan I have increase the composition size (2000px X 2000px) the picture desapear but if I reduce to the original size the ghost come back. Very strange thing...

Hello, I'm making a lino print style animation and need to do the sea! Here's a rough mockup of what I'm trying to achieve. What I want to do is be able to take a video or Cinema 4D animaiton of an ocean and apply effects to simplfy it. Imagine if the see was printed in 3 colours. The main body of water, hightlights and lowlights. I would then reflect the sun in the highlights.I've played around using levels, posterize, thresholds and blurs. But can't seem to achieve the look in my still. What I get are shapes that are either complicated and wouldn't be achievable in the lino-print style world. Or too rounded edged and no longer feel like water. I really like this animated gif style. Although the edges are too soft. I have this as a source video, and I can add the sun and reflection in after. I just need to achieve the simple sea; Does anyone have an ideas? Or can push me the way of a tutorial?Thanks,Ryan 

I have CC 2018, but it seem After Effects is looking for some animation presets in the 2017 folder. Here is what the error says specifically: After Effects error: File not found: "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2017/Presets/Image - Creative/Bloom - brights.ffx".(3 :: 0) I see this file in the 2018 folder. How can I make it look there?

Hey, I haven't found tutorials for that.I would like to animate multiple caracters and wondering a way to do it easily.It's a run so I would like to have more participants.I've already animate one caracter. For that i drawn it on illustrator then animate it in AE. The second step would be to duplicate this composition and change, for exemple the tshirt color, the leg size.Is there a way to do that easily by reusing the composition without start from zero for each caracter ? Thanks for your help

Whenever I try to load one of my projects and work on it the preview doesn't play. I started working on this project a couple weeks ago before I went on vacation and when I returned the project didn't load the preview whenever I tried to work on it. I've had this exact same issue before except this one I haven't been able to fix. Updating/Reinstalling my drivers, resetting the preferences, clearing my ram cache, clearing data cache, anything you can think of I've probably tried. Its only the one project file that doesn't work. Even after exporting the composition and putting it into a new project the preview still wont load. Also whenever I try and close out of the app after opening the project then my After Effects freezes and stops responding. Once again not an issue with an other projects. If anyone has any ideas or solution please leave your help. I'm going insane trying to figure it out. PC Specs: Intel i7-9700KNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super32G of Ram(Using Version 24.4.1

This was made in After effects, exported as an mp4, sent to Photoshop to be converted to a gif, problem it is supposed to loop seamlessly without 1 frame flicker that happens at the end before starting the next loop.  The second file (comp-1-seamless.gif) is the result i am looking to achieve, you can see you can't tell the beginning or the end of the loop, but it has a small opacity problem that i can't ignore. Please help!

Hi everyone, I'm having a funky issue where I opened up a rather old project and after After Effects opens the project to update it and make it current I can't save it nor can I see many of the compositions at all when I scrub on the timeline. When I try to save the file as a new file name I get the following message - Attempt to get a value from a time stream with no key values ( 29 :: 36 ) Any suggestions? I'm trying to get this file to work to update an older project.Thanks!

Dear Adobe, I took a 360 video in a hotel garden by my 360 camera put it on a hand-held tripod. There is several corners and slope in the hotel garden. When I confirmed the video at home, The center point of angle/view was different from expected center point several times. It happens that my arm or my wrist was moving twist a little regardless of my concentration and relax when I take a 360 video by walking. There sometimes happen that it's not center point or not the shooting direction a little. Camera model : Insta 360 X3 with latest firmware Could you tell me how to change wrong center point of the 360 video to the right center point by After Effects or Premiere Pro? I prefer to use After Effects now. Best regards,

My speed graph is negative for some reason, but the keys are fine. The first key speed is 150 the second is 0. How can I fix this?

I don't have a weak computer by any means. to be specific I have 32 gigs of ram, a 3070ti, and a ryzen 5 3600. So at the very least it should be able to handle some basic editing. But whenver I'm in aftereffects and I try to edit, not even an audio clip will play properly. Let alone footage. By properly what I mean is lets say I bring in footage, it will go unsynced for a few seconds then the audio will slow down to "catch up" to the footage in a way. Even if I just bring in an audio file it slows down to load its so weird.

How To fixed it

Hello, I am trying to do a simple text scroll around a shape. In all of the tutorials I have watched I am told that in order to fill the shape with text I can just select the text then copy and paste it until I am satisfied with the amount of text. I am running into a problem and haven't seen any problems posted / solutions about it. Every time I select the text and copy/paste it, it eventually hits a wall, like it is the end of the text box.  Not sure what the issue is as it seems like all of the videos I've seen have had no issue copy/pasting.  Attaching photos of my project. Thank you!
