After Effects

I recently purchased the Creative Cloud All Apps 100GB plan as a student. When I tried to download any programme from the Creative Cloud, the following notification (screenshot) appeared. I installed all available updates from Windows Update Centre, but nothing helped. Likewise, I checked the drivers - all brand new.

Every time I launch AE, I get a warning of plugins that are not compatible with my version of After Effects. I've searched and removed every single instance of AEJuice on my computer, but it's still mentioned in the pop-up when AE launches. Is there a way to purge AEJuice from my system or get AE to ignore it? I'm concerned it my be causing issues as AE has started to crash when opening certain project files.  

Please help me out. Whenever I try to use roto brush it crashes on the first stroke and I am very frustrated please do help me out. tried everything even the safe mode but the issue persists

Hi, I'm unable to collect the project files.Anytime I launch the option nothing happens and it stays like that.

Upon trying to quit several Adobe programs (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Media Encoder) on my PC, the programs fail to quit promptly and usually give a "Not Responding" message from Windows.   Once it's close either through quitting in task manager or finally closing itself, the program continues to run in Background (as seen on Task Manager) and continues to use RAM, though the CPU usage is 0%.    All Adobe software has been replaced with the newest versions of software.   Any ideas?

I have a mov file with a transparent background downloaded from the Internet (shown in photo number 1Its size is only 54 MB. But when I export the same file again in MOV format, its final size is already 373 MB.The only difference between them you can see in the picture (I marked them in red)How can I export it with the same quality and the same original size of  54 MB

Hi,   I'm making battle maps where layer shapes move across the map into bigger or smaller shapes using vertice paths, as the frontline progresses. I've been asked if it was possible to include a dynamic measure of the shape area in square kilometers/miles. So that I can show exact changes in square kilometers based on the shape/frontline changes. I just couldn't get ChatGPT to help me put this together, and I am far from able to do something like this on my own.   Is this something that is at all possible to do using expressions and then linking it to any text layer to show such values?   I've attached a sample. So the shape is the red area, which hence changes it's shape through time.   I would also be willing to pay someone to help me set this up. If this is at all an option.Thank you,     [PII removed by Moderator]

You enable full screen playback and hit space to play, then space again to stop it playing fullscreen, the entire after effects interface refreshes completely and seems to cycle through every open composition and briefly shows the background apps behind AE and everything flashes blindingly bright for about a second. For no reason. This has been bugging me in after effects for years and years. Surely its possible to fix this? Its easy to repro. Just play any footage fullscreen then stop playing it. (Working on windows 10 on a dual-screen setup)Also re-iterating, please, please, please please please can we have a black background on full screen playback too. Thanks!R.

Hello Everyone,I was wondering if there were a way to make presets for the 3D camera in After Effects that adapt to the layers current position. For example, I planned on making presets for different camera movements I often make in AE for my video essays. However, when saving the keyframes as animation presets, I realized that when applying the preset to another layer, the preset saves the position value of the key frames from the original layer. But I don't want to the exact positioning to be maintainined, I just want themovement of the 3D camera itself to be saved, i.e. there is a universal preset to move the camera to the right 1000 pixels without repositioning it to the same starting point every time. I'm wondering if there is a way to separate the movement the animation is conducting from having to take place at the exact position every time. Thank you all in advance!

Hiis it just me or is the edit in original feature no longer working in the latest Ae 2025 update?  command E on a photoshop layer used to open the doc in photoshop but since the update it does nothing.even if you dig down in the menu to find edit in original it does nothing - I have converted and saved both old files with the new apps but still no joy.    

When attempting to render to a UNC path the Render Queue removes the first \ (backslash) of the path, resulting in an error message. We mainly work on server that we access using UNC paths. Opening and working with the project works fine. Saving works fine. But when attempting to render we run into problems. We can navigate to the correct folder, and set a file name. But when pressing render we get the attached error message.  Opening the output module reveals that the path now lacks the first \ (backslash) in the \\ UNC path. See screenshot. After Effects 25.0.0 (Build 53)Windows 11

Greetings everyone, I have updated to After Effects 25.0 yesterday and found a serious/maior bug when comparing to After Effects 24. I'm working with large clips of resolutions up to 20480 x 144px. When I import a clip into AE 25, the clip suddenly has black solids at the left and right end. This isn't originally in the clips/artwork and this never happened before, neither in AE 24 nor in any previous versions. I have attached screenshots from a simple clip of 17664 x 144px that is only imported into After Effects, so I'm not talking about misinterpretation of existing project files or any of that. Simply drag & drop the clip in After Effects. As shown in the screenshots, After Effects 24 does it right while After Effects 25 adds black solids at the left/right ends.

Hope to get some help! Thanks

I believe it is Ram Preivew (the little red line) stops moving when pressing play whenever I click on premiere pro. I have to  "Clean Database & Cache" each time I go back into After Effects if I want to see the Ram Preivew. Why? I have provided a video as an example. Let me know if more information is needed. 

I'm experiencing an issue with my render output in After Effects 2025. When I render in QuickTime with RGB+Alpha, I'm getting glitchy results. However, when I render in H.264, the output looks good. I've tried using Media Encoder and the beta version, but I’m still facing the same problem. I'm really desperate for a solution—can you help me? 

Hello!I just updated my After Effects to version 25.00.I'm creating a logo that has a tagline which orbits around the logo. I got that tagline to orbit just fine. The logo and the tagline were created by typing text in After Effects.My problem is the orbitting tagline is blurry, and I can't make it sharp like the logo.I tried adding a sharpening effect, and that looked horrible. One tutorial on YouTube suggested to pressing the star symbol next to the item in the timeline. That didn't work, and it changed the radius of the orbit too. Please help! I don't know what to do. Thank you!Kelly

Hello again, today i have a question about working with Set Matte (or similar effects like CC Composite) inside a 3D Environment. I find it very peculiar, that effects like cc composite have no option to use the selected layer like it is projected inside of the viewport. In 2D this is not a big problem, but when i for example want to build a complex matte for something inside of my 3D Environment, there is no way for me to do so, except by copy-pasting and pre-comping a bunch of layers or other silly solutions.I made a quick example to show my problem, before i explain further:3D circle:Wrong Matte:Correct Matte: I understand why this happens, but i wish there was a feature to make Set Matte's output equivalent to the Track Matte feature, because i want to track matte multiple layers at one. So heres my question:What is the best (most render efficient and cleanest) way to achieve the intended behavior for more than one layer (for example imagine a complex (3D) scene with
