After Effects

I am animating a graph so the lines travel accross the screen at the same time. They need to go at the same point accross the screen even though they are different lengths in total. I have attached an example of where I'm up to - I have the pink and green dots separate to the lines and I'm using a combination of trim paths, linear wipe and time stretch to acheive this. It is proving quite fiddly and time consuming! Does anyone have a suggestion of how I could do this more easily? Would appreciate any help, thank you.https://vimeo.com/1137417192/6f6ba08e3b?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

So I'm still fairly new to this whole after effects thing and I wanted to put an audio spectrum in my videos, but I don't like how jumpy and how too reactive it is. I want it to be similar like this : Video. I already tried messing around with the settings a bunch of times (like the audio duration and offset and the height and etc.) and searching online and past reddit posts but nothing can seem to quite get it just right.Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, Does anyone knows if there is a way to offset layers and keyframe with the same value?I explain : sometimes, when you need to add more time at a certain point of a composition you need to push further some layer blocks AND also only push some keyframes on a layer (most of the time this layer is my camera for example).As you cannot select and push layers and keyframes selected at the same time here is why i ask. I can do it manually with two selection steps but it can lead to mistakes in my count of keyframes to add. And also as it is a matter of timing, i need to try and see with more ease. I've send a visual example if it's not clear.  Thanks 

Hi, I'm trying to figure out one issue and unsuccessfully, so I'm turning my question to you. I have layers for eyes, for this problem mainly Pupils - Iris - White as picturesPupils are in Iris and Iris in White. However the Iris slightly overlaps the White and if I put Pupils into the overlaping area, they are visible, which is not wanted factor as next picture I'v tried to find a solution online, but non of them worked for me. It¨s like I need mainly the Pupils to be in the Iris (which is working) and secondary in the White (which I dont know how to do) Thanks for your time

this funny error message pops up when I double-click on a texte layer to select directly a single word.Apparently the text tool doesn't like to be too fast at clicking. I just click OK and i can go on.If i just click once to "enter" on the texte layer to select text, nothing happen and i can continue to double or triple-click to select texts. PS. My app is in french language. The message is not translated.AE 25.5.0 — Mac Studio M1 Max — 32Go RAM — 130Go free disk space — Macos Tahoe 26.0.1 (25A362) 

Hey guys,Still somewhat new to after effects - and when I download templates off the internet I get an error message saying I'm missing the "Fill" plug-in. I've done some research and one place I looked said it is a default plug-in and I'm also finding it come up on Google as RE: Fill which is like $100. Do I need to pay for the plug-in or is it a default and not showing up for me for some reason? If so, are there any fixes to this?Thanks in advance for any answers and helping me past this confusion.

I have the problem that when i add Twixtor on some clips, they glitch at some points and turn green or black for a short time. My theory is that it is only occuring on Clips with much motion and Ive heard that I just have to put the Motion Sensitivity lower but its not helping. Ive also checked that the input fps are adjusted to the input clip. Also there is no difference between putting it on an adjustment layer or the pre composed clip itself.Any ideas??

Hello Adobe Support Team,I am experiencing an issue in After Effects 25.6 when working with 3D layers and multiple screen views (Active Camera + Custom View).

Have seperated all my files in illustrator but when I import into after effects, only some of the layers are imported from the artwork. There is no error message they just will not be added for some reason?

Can you stop installing crapware on my systems. I don't want Cinema 4D on my system.    My hard drive space is for me not Adobe!!!!

Hello, I have a bug on: 1. After Effects V 25.3.2 (with Neat Video plug-in)2. on Mac Studio 2022 (M1 and Sequoia 15.5) and MacBook 2019 (Sequoia 15.6).3. DNG Sony FS7 camera RAWs, which I open in AE in: All Files/Camera Raw//Camera Raw Sequence.4. The expected result is colorimetric conformity between Camera Raw and After Effects (a workflow I've been using for 8 years without any issues until now, but stopped using for at least several months). The actual result is a completely different colorimetry in After Effects (see visual 2) compared to the desired colorimetry set in Camera Raw (see visual 1). This either manifests itself immediately in the case of the Mac Studio, or for the MacBook Pro after changing the frame rate, for example, in Interpret Footage/Frame Rate/Conform To. I wanted to attach three DNG files to simulate the sequence, as well as the XML file for the RAW camera settings, but I got a site error: The content type clip0000132_0000000.dng in the attachme

Hi. I’ve encountered an annoying parenting bug in my project. I created a simple position animation on the parent layer, and when I try to adjust the keyframes on the timeline, the child layers behave as if I never changed the keyframes. Even when I try to unparent them, they still move as if they’re still linked to the parent layer. 

Hey everyone,I was wondering if there is any information on the next iteration of the Rotobrush tool. Is a "Rotobrush 4" in development, and if so, are there any anticipated release timelines?

AE, PP and Media Encoder are often eating all of my 128gb of RAM. I'm not doing anything special to make this happen, just using them as I have for 15 years. Just opening Media Encoder and it sitting idle is currently consuming 25gb of RAM. I will put this down to generally appalling performance I'm getting on this release across all of the video apps. I have never, ever seen any software perform so sluggishly. Black frames, glitches, random upside down frames. It's absurd. What is going on at Adobe? 

For whatever reason, whenever I launch After Effects now, the app freezes when scanning folders and immediately crashes. No error message shows up.I tried basically everything.Starting in safe mode, disabling third party plug-ins (didn't have any to begin with), resetting preferences.Uninstalling, re-installing, manually deleting all files relating to After Effects and then installing it again.It always crashes at the splash screen when it's scanning folders. The folder it crashes at changed every time.I went into Windows settings and gave high-performance to After Effects but that didn't work either.It was literally working fine less than 4 days ago and I finished a project on it. Now it does this and I'm truly stumped on how to fix it.
