After Effects

Hello, I'm trying to open Duik Angela in After Effects but it tell me that it's impossible :"unable to execute the script at line 20042" and tell me to use getAppTheme, getUseReducedContrast and getAlloedAppTheme. But i don't know what that mean. I tried on a past version of after effect it's also not working and tried to update my Duik Angela script but the problem still the same.  Could someone help me fix this error ?  (Sorry if my english is bad) Thanks,Célia

I am trying to use iterate_generic to perform iteration.It seems to be working, but I have one question.As the name suggests, thread_indexL seems to represent the index of the thread. But what is i?When I try (thread_indexL == i) within iterate_generic, it is TRUE every time.When I use another iterate_generic within iterate_generic, it is TRUE every time.I want the thread number to start from zero, but is it possible that either thread_indexL or i will not do so?

After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server. (515) ( 25::101 ) I'm running AE 24.6.4 on a M2 Ultra Mac Studio (full specs below). When I apply 3D Camera Tracker to a layer i'm presented with the above error message. I encounter the same error message in AE 23.6.9. This error message has also appeared when trying to run warp stabilizer. Steps i've taken:- I've purged all cache- opened AE 2024 in safe mode- in safe mode with 3rd party plug-ins disabled- i've moved all .pref and .txt files from the prefrences folder to my desktop so that AE will create new preferences. All of these steps continue to give me back the same error message. I'm running a whole suite of 3rd party plug ins, all the red giant plugs, most of the video copilot plugs, Re vision, and a handful from AE scripts. Sapphire is installed but not active at the moment. All plug ins are paid for and legit licenses. If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated. Specs:Mac S

Hello everyone!I'm working on the Post VFX of a movie, and I need to do compositions, tracking, etc... My software is After Effects.The files they gave me are:1) .BRAW 3840x2160 23.976fps2) .R3D 5184x4320 23.976fpsAs we can see, the R3D files are anamorphic and in Ae you have to do some tricks to be able to work with them correctly.My question is about TRACKING. Which one is recommended to use? Which one would be ideal for this project that is big? motion track? camera track? Mocha?... maybe it's my workstation, I don't know.I tried with camera track and error, I tried with mocha and it couldn't track a single frame, error. Now I'm using the MotionTrack classic and basic and it is achieving it but it takes too long to do it.Is there any error? Is there a solution? I hope you give me one... greetingsMy workstationWindows 10ProAMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 3.40 GHzInstalled RAM 64.0 GBNVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4080* The project is saved and is being worked on from a 12TB Seagate external

So I'm just learning how to use after effects and a lot of the tutorials have been fantastic and I've been able to get around pretty well.  When issue I have is that when I'm removing the background using the roto tool sometimes the green bar will dissipate from the beginning of the video as if I didn't do that part yet. Like it's following me through the video as I clean up each section, and then I have to go back do that part again.. First time I did it I dragged the slider all the way right after applying the initial roto brush, that covered the whole video, and then I was able to click through and see different frames that were missing proper background removal or were causing clipping. I was able to then find that part and fix it. Sometimes now when I'm working a lot of the time when I go back to fix it the green bar that shows that the roto brush has covered the entire area from beginning to end shrinks as if I didn't do a certain part or as if I'm messing som

Have a problem when open AE project with mp4 video - it shows with incorrect size (1088 x 1920 instead of 1080 x 1920). Also it looks 4 times smaller than it has to be and the rest of its area filled with strange line (on the screenshot). It happens on laptop Asus ROG Strix G18 laptop. On another Device where this AE project was created it shows fine. 

HelloI want to create a counting number with 6 decimals. I want to get the number 934 896, but I want to start with all decimals in zero like this: 000 000.I wrote this expression:t = Math.floor(effect("Control del deslizador")("Deslizador"))t += "";t.replace(/(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g, "$1 "); But, I start with a single zero. Thanks ofr your help!!

Artefacts appears when reading and exporting sony mxf files in version 25.0.1It appears only with long-gop mxf files, not in all-i mxf files .The problem is known since version 24.2 (24.3?), version 25 is not resolving the problem. There were problems with mxf files in the same version of Adobe Premiere , but version 25 correct them. I'm surprise to see there are still the problem AE version 25.

I just updated my AE to the latest version and the tracking points on the 3D Camera tracker are not working with my footage. I can't interact with them. I have show layer controls turned on, the layer and effect selected and still no luck. I even tried re-analyzing it... 

Hi,I've recently updated After Effects to latest 2025 version, running on latest macOS.After the update I was having crash after crash. I tried everything from clearing cache, updating OS, running only AE open with my 32gb ram on M2 Max chip and 700+ gb of free space. But nothing helped.After some time I discovered that moving my project files from Dropbox it solved the issue.And nobody could say connection problem because I'm running on 1gbs fiber. Just letting anyone know who would might be having the same issue.

Help! My after effects 2024 and 2023 keeps crashing after I use magic bullet looks and hit the edit button. After the first crash it then crashes upon even trying to open the app. I've tried updating my nvidia driver and backrolling it. I've also tried updating and back rolling Magic Bullet versions. i'm on VVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU. I've tried Studio Drivers 546.01 and 537.42. What else could this be?

I want to render multiple composition in a single file but it has to render specific composition which will be controlled through JSON. This has to be done automatically through scripts without running it manually.

Hey, I was wondering whether you could tell me specifically what type of Mac is needed to run the new Advanced 3D renderer which was just released in AE 24.1? I have two machines: a Windows machine I do most of my work at and a MacBook which I mainly just use to test my AE scripts. On my Windows machine, the new Advanced 3D renderer works perfectly, however, on my MacBook it tells me that the Advanced 3D renderer is not available and I also cannot access it. Other than that, AE runs fine on my MacBook. It's a fairly old MacBook Pro from 2017 (macOS Monterey, 3.5GHz, 16GB Ram). Now, since the Advanced 3D renderer isn't working, I'm looking to buy a new MacBook. Can you let me know what exactly is needed to run the Advanced 3D renderer? I was looking at a MacBook Pro M1 from 2021 (8-core CPU, 16GB Ram). Certainly not the best specs but since I mainly just use it to test my AE scripts, so I don't need the best specs. However, at minimum it should run the Advanced

I want to build a renderfarm where i can replace text and images without opening after effects.

I’m reaching out on behalf of my agency, where we recently got an interesting project involving a Spain-based calculator site called https://calculadoradederivadas.es/. The project primarily involves creating dynamic overlays and motion graphics for their educational content. The client wants sleek animations explaining how derivatives work, which align perfectly with their branding and purpose. While working on this project, I ran into a peculiar issue with one of the layers. Here's the scenario: I created a text layer for an overlay that was meant to fade in and out dynamically with a smooth easing effect.However, when previewing, the text layer behaves strangely—it either flickers or disappears completely during the animation.This only happens when I apply the Track Matte Alpha setting to blend it with a shape layer below. Without the Track Matte, it works fine, but the blending effect is crucial for the client’s branding style.I’ve double-checked the pre-compositions, re-

I am working on a animation and encountered something weird. In some frames there are these strange black lines showing for 1-2 seconds. Please see the screenshot. I am curious what causes these lines to show. Specs of my composition:1080 x 1350 px (4:5/0.80 aspect ratio)Square pixels30 fps After Effects version 25.1.0 (Build 68) 

 

Hi, guys! I'm trying to make a paragraph text layer that adapts to the lenght of the text - I use the same layer to multiple texts and I need it to be easier to do, sometimes when the text is bigger than the previous, the paragraph layer cuts part of my texts off. I'm studying the sourceRectAtTime expression to make that happen, but I tried a lot and couldn't find a way to make it work 😞 I have tried anchor point, position and scale settings, but I can't make this "responsiveness" happen. Is there a way to do that? 

I worked on a project with AE Beta and now can't open my project with my normal AE. Is there a way I can convert it back? I got this message, when I tryed to open it with AE 22.5All my programs are updatet to the latest versions.Macbook Air M1 12.5.1 AE Beta 23.0AE 22.5

Hey - long time troubleshooter first time poster -  1. Version of the app: 25.0.1 (Build 2)2. Platform and OS version:MacOS 14.4.1 (23E224)3. Basic steps to recreate the problem:When I try to click and drag to create a shape layer, it immediately creates a (invisible) shape layer in my comp. It doesn't let me drag out the shape. Same thing is happening with my pen tool - when I click to create a point, it creates an invisible shape layer.4. Expected Result vs. ActualFor the shape layer it should allow me to drag out a rectangle, but it creates a shape layer immediately. For the pen tool, it should create a point. Danny
