After Effects

I started lessons at the Adobe site Bloom Bubblegum, Effects Fire Planet, Koala Tea Cafe, Make It Mooove, Shape Design, and Soda Promo. Now I can not find the links on Adobe website to continue them. Any help is much appreciated.

I've started using Adobe After Effects for the first time for a course. I'm having problems when I use it on my home computer. When I play back my animation (space bar), after a few seconds the entire screen will turn black, as if the monitor has been turned off. After a second or a few seconds, the screen will stop being black and I will see my animation (and the rest of the screen display), then after a few seconds it will go black again. It will keep flicking back and forth like this until I stop the animation (space bar). How do I fix this so I can do my work at home? What I'm using: Adobe After EffectsVersion 22.5.0 (Build 53)6% used of 7.9 GB429 Plug-ins PC SPECS:Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400T CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHzInstalled RAM: 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable)System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorWindows Edition Windows 10 Home, Version 21H1

I have a client who needs me to maintain an older Mojave system, on which I was running After Effects 2020. I've been doing this for years, paying for the service for years (despite the fact that I used to pay for a permanent licence.) Now I've had to reinstall Mojave, and I'm being told that I no longer have access to an installer. I'm sorry, but what have I been paying for EVERY month? You've raised for monthly fee to $70, almost double where we started, and you're telling me that you I can't have the thing that, for me, I'm actually paying for. Not only that, but when I used to log on, I used to be able to see all the permanant licences that I've paid for in previous years. (Because I could probably install an even older version onto this system). But I see that you've purged that information from my profile, and I no longer have those serial numbers.    This is really an infuriating situation. I always liked Adobe, which is one reason that I've paid the monthly fee and ha

Hi, I was opening After Effects CC2020 for the first time, and it won't open because it hangs/gets stuck on 'Initializing Mediacore." I've uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as restarted multiple times. I have a Macbook Pro, and any help is appreciated. 🙂   Title edited by Mod.

This isn't a criticism but more of a general observation about the stresses of colour management, particularly now that we're all having to get our heads around ACES etc. I've been doing graphics for 20 years, I'm good at maths and have a degree in AI. I'm a nerdy designer. But I basically have no idea what I'm doing in the sea of confusing acronyms and unintuitive working spaces. I'm pretty much pressing random buttons till it works. Despite being a bit of a nerd, I think graphics should be more art than science, and I can't imagine what people are going through who wouldn't call themselves nerds. I have no idea how you'd make it simpler and more intuitive, all those drop down menus filled with lists of bizarre acronyms seem necessary, but there's got to be an easier way, hasn't there?  

After working in a project and saving a couple times like normal, it will start to say it can't rename the current project file and in the process deletes it. Ae stays open, and I have to hit "save as" and just use the same name to write the project file back into file explorer. Never had this issue before the last couple days, and the only thing different about this project that I haven't used in a while is rotoscoping. It's doing it in 4 different projects that have rotoscoped Prores 422HQ 4k files. Luckily "save as" works and Ae doesn't crash, because deleting the project file like that is quite concerning. Auto saves are working just fine. I am working off a server, but no other project files are having this issue. By the error message (attached), it looks like it can't rename whatever the temp save file is to the main project name. But it's sporadic when it does this. System info    Application: After Effects v23.5.0.52    OS: Windows v

I have a semi complex idea that I am trying to work out. I am not very good at expressions/scripting after effects, so bare with me as I try to explain this. I will provide the project file as well so that you can check it out and hopefully help me with this. So I am trying to make a mouth shape rig for character lip-syncing animation. I have 15 different mouth shapes, that I created in illustrator, that all use the same amount of shapes, with each shape using the same amount of vertices between all 15 mouths.The shapes are -Lips (a stroked path, 8 vertices)Top Teeth (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Top Gums (a filled shape, 5 vertices)Tongue (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Bottom Teeth (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Bottom Gums (a filled shape, 5 vertices)Throat (a filled shape, 8 vertices) I am using the "Throat" as a mask for all of the other shapes, excluding the "Lips". The "Lips" and "Throat" have nulls connected to each vertice, and the "throat" will be a mask for all of the other

I'm implementing an effect that has a layer parameter and blends the image from that layer with the layer that the effect is applied on:- The effect is applied on LayerA which is 1920x1080- The effect's layer parameter is set to LayerB which is 800x600 Everything works except that the image coming through the layer parameter (LayerB) is always positioned at the top left corner of LayerA, regardless of where I positioned LayerB in the composition. When I call checkout_layer() during PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE_RENDER, the returned result_rect rectangle has the correct dimentions (800x600) but the top and left fields are always set to zero, regardless where I positioned LayerB. Interestingly, if I create a Shape layer instead of importing an image from disk, I observe that checkout_layer() returns correct values for top and left fields of result_rect and I get the result that I expect. What do I need to do to get the position of a layer pa

Would you like to use spare computers on your network to drastically speed up the process of rendering After Effects compositions? It's not only possible, it's a supported technology. See these articles for more information about how to render faster using multiple computers.   Adobe: Automated rendering and network rendering Toolfarm: In Depth: Render Farms / Network Rendering / Distributed Rendering

TLDR:This is nothing new and my intention / hope is that someone at Adobe actually sees this so this will finally be fixed. Unintended Behaviour:As soon as I run AfterEffects it creates a folder called 'Adobe' inside the user's Documents Folder.There is no way to change the location where this folder gets created. There is no reason why this should be in the user's Documents folder in the first place.This should simply be with all the other application support files, where it belongs, not where the user stores their personal documents. why this is a Problem:I spend a lot of time making sure my file system (especially and more than any other my Documents folder) is as clean and organized as possible.Yet without any way to change it this folder gets dumped into my very neat and organized folder and it is plainly infuriating.I literally have the options to:a) delete the folder every time I'm done with using AfterEffects (or a number of other Adboe apps with the exact same behavi

My CC subscription renewed 2 days ago and ever since then I can no longer run CC2018 apps on my older iMac.  They launch in trial mode with a message that I do not have a subscription to 2018.  Did Adobe shut off access to 2018 without warning?  CC2018 is the latest verion I can run on my iMac. 

Hello, After Effects performance drops on the home screen, which has no files, layers or anything that could make the program work less efficiently. What should i do ?

Hello, I have an older system that doesn't work with the latest versions of AE, PP, etc. The latest version I think works is 23.6 (AE), but there is not way to install that. I can get older versions of PS, AI, etc, but not the other apps. See the attached screenshot. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

I would like some help bringing still photos to life. I want to make it appear the mouth is moving, the eyes are blinking, gentle head tilts, etc.  I have seen plenty of online AI generators, "free apps," etc. that do this. I HAVE to believe that our professional software would allow us to do something similar, if not better. I have attached what I am looking for and what I have been able to accomplish. Please send over any ideas!

Hello, I was looking for information on YouTube about this glitch effect and I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe someone knows how to make a similar effect? ​​Maybe it's some kind of plugin?

Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to After Effects but have been working with Adobe products like Illustrator, Indesign, Flash/Animate and Photoshop for decades. So, I am kind of expecting AE to work in a similar manner when I draw a rectangle or other shape. The main problem is that the fill is not showing and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have change the fill colour to something totally obscure and violating to ensure I can see it, but it just won't display. I can add a stroke colour and can see that fine, but the fill will not display.What am I doing wrong? It's the top layer of the timeline, I've not added any effects such as layer transparency or blend mode. I've not changed any application settings that I'm aware of. I'm looking for answer everywhere and getting very frustrated! The second issue I have is I am having to lock all layers in order to draw a simple shape that I want to see rather than it act as a mask to an existing layer. Again, what am I doing

Hola, ultimamente estoy teniendo un problema y es que cada vez que exporto un video en after effects, me cambia completamente el color. La imagen sale lavada, como si estuviera desaturada. He probado de todo y no se que hacer.En illustrator y en After Effects los colores con los que trabajo son correctos, no me los cambia cuando importo los archivos de AI a AE. El problema viene al exportar, que es cuando me los cambia. He probado en exportar en h.264 y ProRes 244 y me da el mismo resultado. Estoy trabajando con este ajuste de color, que es con el que he trabajado siempre.Tampoco hago nada raro en ajustes de exportación.¿Alguien sabe que puede estar pasando? Ya no se si es algo de que tengo que cambiar algun parametro en illustrator, after effects o hacer algun ajuste de color general en bridge.Así es como debería verse (captura sacada desde el mismo after effects)y así es como me saca el colorGracias de antemano y un saludo

My after effects export looks slightly blurry - how can I fix this? It's a very slight difference but you can see the text is not as crisp/clear looking. I've tried changing the quality settings to 'Current' instead of best, increased the bitrate, exported as quick time but I can't seem to fix the issue.  

Hello! it used to be like this: If I have a Composition with 25 fps and I want to have a "stop motion" effect, I can either use the effect "posterize time" - OR I change the composition fps to 12 fps. Today I noticed that if I do that (lower the FPS of the composition) it speeds up the animation accordingly. I tried changing the "preserve framerate" in the advanced setting. Basically it behaves like changing how to interpret the footage itself.I am pretty sure this behaviour is not like it used to be, or I changed some setting I can't find.I would be really grateful to the community to help me in this matter.Cheers,Alexander

Whenever I try to drag a text layer of type in it, everything happens with a huge delay. 2 secs today. Shouldn't be a problem fixing this in 2019…Also, rendering simple script-animated text plate with a solid bg color could take up to 20 minutes. I have pretty good Macbook Pro i7.BUT then, if I construct a cool Sci-Fi space scene in Element 3D (3rd party AE plugin), with several textures and lights and a depth of field camera in it, renderind could take less time! How??! .

Unfortunately, Adobe After Effects no longer starts after the last update. I have already tried to solve the problem by restarting the PC, but without success.   System information: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz (3.19 GHz) RAM: 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise Version 22H2 (64-bit) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 512GB SSD   Could you please check what could be the reason? Many thanks in advance for your support!    

What's the best way to unlink media in After Effects? In Premiere I can just r-click and choose "Make Offline..." but that's not an option in AE (unless I'm missing something).

Hi, I see that if I am in rotobrush layer and hit space bar it propogates all frames.  For a given project I see that process took about 80 seconds.  If I don't hit spacebar and just hit freeze, then that also seems to accomplish the propogating and takes over 3 minutes.   Trying to understand in which process is the required computation taking place.  I though freezing was an optional step that just locks in the result, but is it more than that in terms of final computed result?  Is the extra time for freezing just the cache'ing going on? thanks
