Hello,I have a wierd After Effects bug. If I want to watch a video or just click somewhere mz screen is turning black. The bug only happens in After Effects. If I use other software I can use everything normal. Here I recorded a Video: https://youtu.be/jZRPZneL4dY?si=k_clI_3u8pXdJd8A 

So, I was making a motion poster in after effects and I used my footage and time freezed it and created a mask at every point I wanted and suddenly my footage went green. Basically I created 6 masks from the footage. One for the background and other 5 for the frames I wanted to show in my poster. Now 4 of my frames went green and other two frames from the same footage are fine. Please can someone help me? I tried clearing cache and also disabled the hardware accelerated composition thing. Nothing is working 😞P.S. - I have a macbook air M2

i've reinstalled after effects multiple times but my animation preset adobe presets do not work and their in a different language?? i'm unsure what to do at this point 

Working with: After Effects 24.1.0 (Build 78)Rendering: Adobe Media Encoder 24.1.1 (build 2)Bugs :1. render time set in comp in After Effects work file is set to 0:01:05:172. the duration of the output movie after render is 2 minutes and 12 seconds.3. The render time set in the work file and the length of the output movie are different periodically.4. The work file was modified several times (but the video length was never modified) and the output video was continuously checked, so there was no suspicion about the video length at the time of the error.5. the issue resulted in a broadcast accident, which could have been very damaging.6. the bug needs to be fixed quickly 

3D camera Tracking stuck on initializing, no matter what kind of video Apple m1 ProOS sonoma 14.5 AE 24.4.1 What to do?

Please ask me how to remove decimal value (.00) from slider control and add % (if possible) in after effects cs6.

Hello, I imported an Illustrator file into After Effects (Composition - Retain Layer sizes)My problem is I can't seem to play the timeline without a flicker effect with this muliticoloured error graphic. I am also unable to extend the length of each layer that is stuck to 5 frames. I think I am inporting it wrong. Is there a better way to import vector layers into after effects from Illustrator? Thanks for any advice in advance, Josh.  

can you guys tell me how to make it to default?this color picker made me so crazy.i use after effect 2020i tried to reset preference setting but nothing happenEDIT:so what it make me crazy is the preview of the colorso here is the comparasion of what i meant by 'default'

Can anyone tell me why the attached expression is not working to drive the keyframe of my time-remapped layer? It seems like this should be pretty simple but it's not working. 

I've updated the imported Illustrator file that I am using in After Effects with some new layers and other stuff, but the changes are not seen in my compositions. How can I get my compositions to recognize the changes?

Hello all,I typically send my comps to Render Queue and then modify the Output Module and Output to for multiple comps at once. For some reason, this is not working for me. Even if I select all it only lets me change one at a time. How do I get that functionality back? 

Hi everyone! I have a screen recording of an app I built in Adobe XD. I brought a snippet of that recording into After Effects to use in a composition, and when I try to export it as a GIF, the file size is huge. I have a GIF identical to this one without the imported video that exported at 7,3 MB, so I'm pretty sure that's the problem. All my other compositions that have imported video have the same issue. Do you have any suggestions for reducing the file size?  I tried creating a Premiere project, importing my AE composition and exporting as a GIF from there, but it was just as bad and some of the colors looked weird so I would rather solve it within the AE workspace. Thanks in advance!

Is it just me that experiences that moving keyframes in the timeline is extremely slow? I know AE's UI gets slower the more complex a project is, but moving the keyframes for me seems to be more laggy than the UI in general, especially in the latest release with the new keyframe colors etc. I need to move the keyframes slowly because if I release them and move my mouse to quickly they end up somewhere else on the timeline than where I released the mouse button. If this is because after effects starts previewing while you are moving the keyframe in realtime, it would be good to have an option to make after effects pause preview while you are moving the keyframe and start after, because that is a feature you mostly don't need. 

 bonjour je rencontre  un problème sur  after effectj'ai intégré du  texte dans une  composition et je  souhaite  changer  la  police  mais  j'ai beau sélectionner  la  police  que  je   souhaite  je n'arrive pas à l'obtenir à l'affichage

How do I fix this error, everyone? This also often happens with other Saphire plugin effects. I've read a lot of posts about this error in the Adobe community and see people usually saying they need to delete it and not use that effect anymore, but I need them so I can't delete them. Is there any other way? 

I am trying to speed up the plugin by making it AVX2 compliant and would like to know how rowbytes are determined.4byte?8byte?16byte?32byte?I am assuming that they are probably patted to match one of those, but I would like to know the specific values.

Hello.I'm just curious how an experienced editor would go about this. Perhaps such advice would help me avoid some rabbit holes.First off my computer and software:2017 iMac 27inch running Monterey. 32gb memory, 4gb vram 3.4ghz core i5 500gb SSD, 250gb outboard SSD for media cashe.Premiere Pro 15.4.1 (simple wedding videos are what I've done in the past)After Effects 18.1.0My source video is unfortunate: 60fps screen recording. Varible rates detected. I'm in the process of trying to reduce it to 30fps and keep the audio in sync.A girl is singing a song. Her talent is far outstripping her setting. I'm trying to get rid of the board behind her head. I've set Rotobrush to eliminate the board, not seperate her entire body from the frame.You'll see below that I will have no choice but to help Rotobrush along frame by frame.Any advice will help. Perhaps simple bullet points of the order of steps you would take to tackle thisMany thanks,Scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz6vON2clc&nbs

Hey there!I've recently discovered that MXF files, which were rendered from AE with Media Encoder on previous versions seem to be broken on the latest AE version. Downgrading to 24.0.3 (as per an old unresolved post here on the community forums) fixes this issue and the file imports flawlessly, display alpha and also render correctly in new projects on this version.The original file was rendered using the Apple ProRes MXF format with the Apple ProRes 4444 with alpha preset in ME. I can provide the .mxf file if necessary but any and all previously rendered files do not import correctly in the current build. Steps to reproduce:- Create a comp on 24.0.3- Render in ME using Apple ProRes MXF format with the Apple ProRes 4444 with alpha preset- Install latest version of AE- Importing said MXF file will fail

Hi Everybody, I have a situation where I have a side-scrolling 'game' where the road/foreground, street elements, and background need to travel sideways on an X-axis but at different speeds. Now, there's the hand-made way of creating separate (super long) length of background and then set a keyframe at the beginning and end. But it would be a LOT nicer if I could set three separate precomps in a loopOut() and then change their frame rate by a slider (or something). Is that possible? and if so, are there any tutorials on this subject? Making Precomps more..."object-oriented" (for lack of better wording) would be great for templating and beyond.  Thanks for reading. 🙂

I'm wondering how to sync the point movement of my 4-point gradient with the movement of the shape, and I'm not quite sure how to make that happen. I would appreciate it if you could help.(a video of the problem is attached)

I've been using these After Effects the whole day from the morning till now.  The program worked fine and everything went well. However, when I wanted to save my project file or import or save as. I've clicked everything but nothing happened. I don't really know what to do. And I have to hand in some files today and it seems it won't help... I bought the whole adobe package and this little issue really frustrated me.Please let me know if you guys had the same problem or solved the problem! It would be really helpful for me and for everyone! Thank you 😄

Hello! I know with the recent version, you are able to import .obj files into the composition. However, when I add an .obj file into my timeline, I don't see it on the screen. The guidelines are showing, but the object I'm trying to manipulate is invisible. I have version 24.3 and can't update to the most recent version. How can I resolve this? I would like to use my 3D models on my videos :,) Someone had this issue on the Beta version, but no one had any fixes there.

Anybody have ideas on how to apply .cdl files into AE to match a VFX to AVID color pipeline? In the past I was able to do a work around by applying .cdl files through a third party plugin (a free Colorista version) that only works in AE 2017 or older. When I contacted Adobe support for help on installing this old version of AE they said they have discontinued apps older than 2020 and that AE does not support .cdl files. The kind person who created the free Colorista plugin has since created a preset for AE 2020 and after called Prolost CDL but it requires you manually enter value information which is not something I want to do. I'm looking for something that can automatically read and apply the values written in the .cdl file. Can anyone recommend a free third party plugin that can do that or do I have to buy Red Giant's Colorista plugin to make this .cdl work? Or does it make sense to contact the DI facility to request a different color file format that AE can read (lik

I was wondering if I would be able to take a lower third that was made in Illustrator and add it to After Effect and animate it, make it responsive as well as make it a MOGRT?  I have  included an image file. There are sublayers in this. Where would I be able to find a tutor on this if it is possible as I am new to this.Thanks everyone.
