After Effects

Hi,At the moment, Media encoder can only export by bits, which I then have to piece together in Premier. Not ideal but at least it will not crash or tell me its out of memory. A lot of my exports have failed due to lack of memory I have about 25GB of Ram reserved for Adobe, which is not great but  I am assuming not bad either so why am I having this problem? I found that emptying disk cache in After effects while exporting with Media encoder may help a bit, or is it a waste of time? I don't have an extra SSD car on this laptop, would using an external hard drive to add my disk cash work better? (was advised to separate the project and the cache files in separte drives). I just find it frustrating that I can't export my projects properly and having to split them up! Any advise welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to use Sure Target for 3D and it works completely normally, however every time I add it to a null layer it automatically changes to this orientation, and I can try and change it back manually but I can never get it back completely straight. I gave my friend the project file and it didn't change to this orientation at all, making me think it might be an issue with one of my settings or something, however have no idea which setting would effect it.

Hi, I'm having trouble changing the colour of a light layer in a logo reveal template.When I change the  colour from red to green it keeps defaulting to red.I think it is to do with the expression which is comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color").I've tried various commands such as comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color")("fillColor#7B8E31")  and "ColorControl#7B8E31")  but keep getting error warnings.Could someone help? Thanks very much! 

Whenever I apply a mask to something I want to be cut out and replaced with a content fill layer, I always get a highlighted version of the mask with the fill layer. I done the same content aware fill a couple days ago and I had no problem, it worked perfectly. To explain more what I'm talking about, please look at the pictures below. Also when I hover my mouse over the mask, in the info tab it says my mouse is over the color white, and it is not, it is black. Sometimes the mask is not even black too, it's sometimes like a dark red. I'm not sure if this has anything to factor in but it is just something I have noticed.  Also I have tried different lighting conditions for the CAF, changing the settings around, etc. Please help this issue as I have found nothing online for it.

Hello, I have a question to consult, that is, I use AEGP Panelator this sample template to write a plug-in, I wrote a custom function called GetSelectedLayerNames(). This function is used to get the name of the selected layer. Because this function is used to AEGP_GetNewCollectionFromCompSelection the function, the function inside the first parameter is the ID of the plug-in. So I put the implementation of GetSelectedLayerNames() in Panelator.cpp. Then I created a custom button in PanelatorUI_Plat.cpp that, when pressed, executes GetSelectedLayerNames() in Panelator.cpp. I don't know if my above idea is correct, so I want to instantiate the Panelator object in PanelatorUI_Plat.cpp, but I find that in this example the Panelator class is declared and implemented in panelator.cpp. I can't instantiate him. So should I move the declaration of the Panelator class into panelator.h? Or is there an easier way? Hope to get your answer, thank you!

Hi. I'm using Video Copilots Optical Flares, but I can't get the flare to move behind an object.Here I have a Photoshop layer cut-out. I select it as Foreground Layer 1, but as you can see, the flare does not disappear.I've spent the entire day trying absolutely everything - the Source Type, the Source Layer, the Layer 5 Sample Method, using a black-and-white matte, but I cannot get this to work. Either the flare doesn't appear at all, or it doesn't go behind the layer.Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me absolutely nuts.I'm in AE 2021, and Optical Flares 1.3.5.Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,  I've been struggling to get the x and y rotation on the particle while using particular.  When I start from a preset I can make this work, but I've compared all the settings to a fresh solid with particular and I can not figure out how to get the ability to edit the X and Y parameters. Any help would be great thanks! Hope this makes sense. 

After effects was working perfectly fine, but I come back a couple day later to continue a project and the preview is only showing white. I am not able to play the video at all and whenever I move the time using my mouse It just becomes black then goes back to white when I stop moving the time. The timeline also will not load. This is similar to another issue that I have had in the past, yet the solution that I tried last time does not work. I am using After Effect version 24.1 and this problem also comes with After Effects struggling to open and close as it just loads while saying "Program is not Responding". This continues to be an issue even after I clean the disk and cache.  PC Specs:Intel i7-9700K CPUNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super32G of Ram

When I press the button Interpret footage the warning message is appearing. After Effect warning: Profile "Rec 709" is missing, invalid or has incorrect file permissions. System windows 11AE version is 23.5

There are three levels of comps combined to create this animation with a glow effect. The glow is pixelated and gradiated--not horribly but enough to notice--even when continuous raster is applied to the comps involved. What can I do?  

I am writing to request assistance in obtaining a download link for Adobe After Effects 18.4. I am currently enrolled in an online course where the instruction is based on the 18.4 version of After Effects. Unfortunately, I am unable to find this specific version within the Creative Cloud application.Could you please provide me with the necessary download link or guide me on how to access Adobe After Effects 18.4? Having access to this version is crucial for my coursework and learning experience.or if it is not available, is there any other version such as Adobe After Effects 21.0?

i am a very beginner and I regret updating it today. I can't work at allSo many small issues that i cant even properly explainKeyframe animation is not working properly. Very very big issueSelecting a keyframes deselcts the object instead of showing the path controllersSelecting keyframe outside of composition boundary disappears the objectCan't select the controllers by dragging or deselect the contollers by dragging mouse or even by click shift

Bonjour,Quand je rassemble mes fichiers After Effects dans un dossier d'assemblage, il n'y a aucun fichier source dans le dossier. C'est systématique depuis quelques temps, j'ai beau rééssayer, ça ne fonctionne pas. Ma suite Adobe est à jour et mon Macbook Pro également. Merci pour vos réponses

 

Anyone know how this happened and how to fix it? 

I've already linked the null layer to the clip, but whenever I try to add a ''s_shake'' effect, it wouldn't show up in the preview and not change anything.I'd have to place the effect directly IN the 'Comp_1' layer for it to show.I'm confused if I accidentally clicked something?

So i'm trying to use the 'Consolidate All Footage' feature in the dependencies menu but it's not working.I've checked the footage using the 'reveal in explorer' function and a bunch of instances point to the same file, but after effects wont consoldidate duplicate instances of footage. I don't want to go through one by one and consolidate these manually.

There used to be a neat exprssion that could scale an object, however it seems to be not working as desired when I returned to this effect. Tutorial here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UaZNcVobhgSo the that if you get a array of object you get this nice wave effect.  When trying this there appears to be no scale, rather just 0 or 100, but nothing in the middle. I was wondering if it was the scripting preferences Java/legacy extented but both are not working. Also I am in 32bit and also 8bit.  I am no great expression user, but this has normally worked straight away in the past.  I thought at first it might be the vector files but it also is the same with native vectors 'shape layers' from after effects. And no recognition of the gradient driving the scale.  x = thisComp.layer("Gradient").sampleImage(transform.position, [.5,.5]/2, true, time)[0];100*[x,x] Best regards Julian

Saben como solucionar este error? Ya intente desinstalando y actualizando After pero no funciona de ninguna manera, ni con la versión 2023    

I'm using after effects 23. I duplicated a comp in my timeline and then I'm trying to replace the duplicated comp with another comp from the project panel. But it's not allowing me to replace but it's suggesting me to place the comp at the top or bottom of the duplicated comp in my timeline. But in the tutorial I see it's possible to replace a comp with another comp.So what's the problem or mistake happening by me here. Plz help me.Thanks. 

Hello,  I have been participating in a Graphic Design course as part of my professional development as a teacher. One task is a logo design and I have an idea which I am comfortable realising the overall shape in illustrator however I would like to add this text in and then try to animate it, as if it was scrolling around the shape as per the image.  If there is anyone who is able to offer advice on how I might go about this, I would really appreciate any help!  Thank you 

Anyone know what's going on here? For whatever reason a bunch of my Adobe files are saved in my One Drive - Documents folder. I never set it up this way, but for whatever reason there's a bunch of stuff in there. I don't want to disable One Drive as I use it for a few things, but I'd prefer if all my Adobe elements lived together where there supposed to be. You know, my main C: Documents....   

I want a layer (several layers actually) to move around in a direction (anywhere from 0 to 360 degrees), once it reaches outside the camera view, it will wrap around to the otherside. Remember in Pac-Man when you go all the way to the right side of screen, you come out the left? That's what I'm talking about. How can I write an expression to something move, even diagonally, and have it wrap around once it goes outside view and to keep doing this over for 10+ mins?   

How can I export an animation to gif without a background with a particle decay effect so that the image remains in normal quality without dots on the background?(click on the image if you have a light theme)If break it into fragments and then glue them together in Photoshop, then the edges of the image become smooth.If save with the background in After effects, then everything is fine, but I need to remove it...
