After Effects

I've been working on this clip for a few days and just finished and rendered when I noticed this gray box in the final render. I realized then that it was also showing up in the preview. I mustve missed it thinking it was part of a mask or something. I searched all over and couldn't find anything on it. Anyone know what this is/how to get rid of it? Thanks 

I started a 2D animation project in Adobe Animate because i thought the compatibility between adobe programs would be simple and helpful. I want to transfer a project from Adobe Animate into After Effects to continue the animation and do compositing and effects, but this error shows up "An error occurred while importing this file". This happens with every file I've tried so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the project itself. Is there a way to fix this and transfer my work from Animate to After Effects? I really need help 😞  

So i was working on an after effect project and i got a problem that i dont know how to solve.So i wanted that Shape (the triangle with the wave warp effect) the shape you see in the back that is an illustrator project. My goal is that i look kind a like this and keep the wave warp animation that i have. I want the background to be transparant to eventually but something in the back.Any clue to help me with this?

Just selecting a layer in a comp is enough to crash After Effects.Also selecting an effect in the effects panel can turn After Effects in a flashing frenzy.After Effects seems broken on the most basic level...   Mac Studio Ultra 128GB, macOS 12.7, 32bit OCIO ACES workflow   Title edited by Mod.

Hello, I'm doing a phone green screen replacement project and I decided to use Mocha for the purpose. I watched most available tutorials on youtube about it and thought I did everything correctly, but the end track data export moves the replacement matte. Here's a video recording of what I've done: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/27435382?key=6884872880d708ece28cc595c99742fb I'm also describing the steps I took below: 1 - Made a base track of the phone and activated the planar surface, after which I repositioned it so that every corner can be placed on each of the tracking + of the green screen. Made small adjustments to the phone shape track by tweeking the points of the x spline. I also did a 2nd layer for the thumb that swipes the phone and placed it above the base track as an occlusion. 2 - removed the green screen with keylight. I had to increase the screen deposit white to remove the remaining + marks but that ate some pixels from the background, so I

 Create a new project. Create compositions.Select a couple compositions and add them to render queue.Having them all selected in the render queue click output to and specify the destination folder.After Effects removes all your final files names (except from the one you've just selected) and replaced them with _1.mp4, _2.mp4, etc.To circumvent it you need to remove all the files from the render queue and add them again.Please fix.

I have a question : for an animation I need to make a transition between two images. To do this, I'd like to create a thick line that would cut the first image in two, revealing the image underneath under its thickness. So I added a trim path on my pen trace and now I'm stuck. I need your help, I've also tried setting it to "Silouhette alpha" but that doesn't work either. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks 

I am running After Effects on a 16 inch Apple M1 Max Macbook, 32GB ram. AE runs incredibly well on this machine, but by simply applying Lumetri Color to a clip the whole program stalls. If I make any basic tweaks to the effect, even as simple as changing highlights by a few points, it takes minutes for the updates to then reflect in the preview window.  I would normally never grade in AE but I am attempting to do a day to night effect, and right now it's impossible.  Any ideas?

In AfterEffects I want to move a composition in the timeline. I want to first create the different drawing animations in my whiteboard doodle video without regard to position on the timeline and move them afterward to the correct time in my video. I truly won't know until later in the process when I want them to start and stop. I need a lot of flexibility to move different compositions forward or backward in the timeline without them being tied to a certain time of occurence in the video. When I try to slide a comp forward or back, the motion still occurs at the same time and moving the bar in the timeline just cuts off the beginning or ending without moving the action to a new spot. Is this possible? Eventually, I also want to be able to decrease or extend duration of the action in these comps. I believe this has to do with roving keyframes. Is this kind of flexibility possible?

Hi! I'm looking for a way to distribute objects with an increasing (exponential?) spacing between them. Do you have any tips for a script/plugin/expression, which could help me achieve this in After Effects?

good afternoon greetings.Since I updated After Effects around April 15, it doesn't start for some reason.I open it and it stays in the first loading box "initializing media core"Several things can happen:1 - It stays on that screen loading until the end of time2 - If I run it as administrator, it skips this load, starts the program, but when it starts and shows me the interface, if I click anywhere the program freezes immediately until it closes.3 - the after effects beta does not open either, in any version.4 - I managed to open after effects using premiere, creating a precomp of premiere, and sending it with dynamic link to after effects. By doing this the program opens and works without problem, but when I close it it does not work again, and I must repeat the process in premiere if I want to open after effects again.I have tried many solutions, and I have read several forums and seen several tutorials, and none of them solve my problem.- I already tried to uninstall and reinstall a

I deleted a layer completly from the project and after the exoprt its just comes back and haunt me!

Hi All, I need a script to find out, if the text layer contain more than one font style or font size (different font style or font size used in the same layer) in After effects.I have the script (placed below) for get the font style, font size details in the after effects, but it will give the details for the first character's properties alone.Can you please advise to get each word properties or else to alert if the text layer contain more than one format (either font or font size).  query(); function query() { 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) { // Check if the layer is a text layer if (myLayer.enabled == true) { // Check if the layer is enabled var myTxtProp = myLayer.property("ADBE Text Properties").property("ADBE Text Document"); v

Dear Adobe, Could you tell me how to fix the direction and the nadir? I cannot get appropriate nadir caused of the specification of a 360 camera or the unwanted signals from over the clouds. Therefore, It's possible to see it as not center point in the video slightly. It's been persisted such the case by the functionality or signals.When I take the video is not only straight forward, there will be several small curves in the shooting route.Best regards,F.Y.I.The 360 camera has no GPS functionality. It seems that it will use stabilization to compose the 360 video/photo and the nadir. it's rely on the smartphone like Google Pixel, iPhone and so on. I have multi-risks to use the camera. But I cannot re-purchase a new maker yet.

i'm not sure how it happened but while trying to render my video without getting an error, this black patch appears in my precomp and won't go away. I went into previous save files and it still appears. i'm not sure what happend and i can't find anyone with this problem.

I have a medium shot of a woman sitting up in bed. Shes looking worriedly to a window off screen. Her child is asleep, with her head on mom's chest. I simply want to start zoomed in, with the childs face filling the screen, then pull back slowly to reveal the mother. Lots of tutorials out there on zooming in and out, but not starting zoomed in.I'm missing something simple. I have both Premiere pro and After effects. Thanks,Scott

Hi, before i explain let me give you guys my PC details to prove it's not my PC.Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700F 2.10 GHz32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)Nvidia RTX 4060I have just installed after effects and I configured it to render just fine, I've used every single youtube video, I use "Use GPU" on any option, I did everything, even the people that work at Adobe configured my computer so that it should "run smoothly", little did I know the next day it performed even worse. I tried going to chat support but they just closed the ticket on me... As shown by attachments. This is extremely frustrating with no help and lack of rendering time. I've pretty much given up at this point because nobody seems to understand the problem or can help correctly. This is basically my last resort, Any help?

Chaque fois que je veux ouvrir mon projet il se ferme instantanément, ensuite il y a un message me disant qu'il a eu un échec de démarrage et me demande si je démarre le programme sans échec ou non. J'ai accepté mais le problème du programme qui se ferme se reproduit encore et ne change rien au message que j'ai reçu. Je ne comprends pas et j'aimerais savoir pourquoi, dans l'attente d'une réponse avant que mon abonnement se termine sans avoir touché au programme

Hello everyone, i found a problem in AE. So the layer dissappears earlier than it is supposed to for no apparent reason. The layers below this one are also not seen in this period where the highest layer cant be seen either, so it is just this empty space. How do i fix it?
