After Effects

Hello!How can I recreate this animated infinite strokes scene from Ariana Grande - Problem ft. Iggy Azalea.I plan to mask the subjects in my video using rotoscope but I don't know how to replicate this infinite strokes effect. All suggestions are very much appreciated 🙂  

I use the shift key a ton to snap layers in time to each other, but notice it's very inaccurate unless the timeline is zoomed way in. Example is moving a layer ajacent to another when the timeline is zoomed out and holding shift key down, it almost always overlaps by a frame. When I zoom in, the snapping will happen very precisely then. Hope that makes sense! 

I've been working within After Effects with imported illustrator files. The original illustrator character file was not created by me, I've been tasked with taking over development and I can't figure out why the character rig I created in After Effects seems to be changing colour once it's imported into another AE file. I've verified that everything is RGB and the color profile is 16 bit, but the original file I created the rig in was 8 bit, not sure if maybe that is the issue. I changed it to 16 bit after the fact, so maybe I'm just ignorant to how all of this works. I've attached an image of a few of the original rigs, which I can't/don't want to re-use. The one on the right is the one I'm currently working with. I'm at my wit's end and I think I'm at the point where I'm going to try and re-create the rig because I can't figure this out.

Hi. I just purchased Element 3D and I'm running the latest Adter Effects. When I render out my file, my Element 3D model doesn't render out. Can someone please help me out. My element3d model is on a canvas size of 1920x1920. I have cleared the cache within Element3D and still the problem persists.

I cannot understand this aliment issue. How can it be explained? Video is attached. -Where as flayer menu shows "Left align text" text in graphic area is aligned to Right.-Where as flayer menu shows "Rght align text" text in graphic area is aligned to Left. 

Hi guys, when I want to hide parameter, PF_PUI_DISABLED works as expected, it greys out param, but when I want to hide it's not doing anything. This is within UserChangedParam function:if (which_hitP->param_index == TEST){ if (params[TEST]->u.pd.value == 1) { params[TEST]->uu.change_flags = PF_ChangeFlag_CHANGED_VALUE; params[POSITION]->ui_flags |= PF_PUI_INVISIBLE; //PF_PUI_DISABLED works AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP); ERR(suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_UpdateParamUI(in_data->effect_ref, POSITION, params[POSITION])); } }Can someone please explain why  PF_PUI_INVISIBLE is not working like PF_PUI_DISABLED, thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to use clients Adobe After Effects 2020 for graphics and lower thirds via NDI, 4.5 version, to send to Wirecast or OBS with transparency. When the composition is being played live from AE or played rendered, alpha channel is not being transmitted neither to Wirecast nor OBS or NDI monitor. We get black background in Wirecast or OBS. However, if I export the same composition RGB+ alpha channel as a separate file and then import it into Wirecast or OBS, everything is fine. Full transparency. I tried this same scenario with clients Premier and ProPresenter, alpha channel plays fine live with those, but not AE. Was anyone here successful with this scenario? Mac OS Catalina, MacBook, Mac Mini and Mac Pro. Someone posted it on Vimeo with this setup and was successful. However, it was PC. What am I missing? I heard some people saying its somethign to do with the PRM not passing the alpha channel during live play. Is this AE problem or NDI's. Hopefully there's an updat

all the objects the background is white i guess i pressed some buttons and this happened i have atttached a picture with it  

I need to know the certified GPU card for AE GPU-accelerate,because your System requirements about After Effects was not written clearly.And I still don't understand why the certified GPU for premiere and AE is not same??

Hi, I’m new to this support community and new to After Effects so I hope someone can help me with this problem. The version of AE I have is v17.5.1 (Build 47). I’m using Premiere to assemble some old 8mm film footage I had transferred to mp4 files and I was hoping I could use AE Content-Aware Fill to get rid of some hairs in the film gate, which are pretty much static. I have looked at a lot of how-to videos but am stuck at the “Generate Fill layer” stage where I am getting the error message “AE Warning: All target frames are blank. The Content-Aware Fill layer generation has been aborted.” FYI, I’m not using Dynamic link but importing the files separately into AE as a stand-alone project. I’ve attached some screen shots that I hope will explain the situation better. I should underline that I'm totally new at this and am aware that it's probably something I'm not doing, or doing wrong. Hope someone can help, thanks so much.

When trying to export ( File > Export > Add to media encoder queue ) I receive the error message in the subject line of this post. Mac is up to date and I've attached image of computer specs. Here is what I've tried so far:Restartde-install and re-install latest versions of After Effects and Media Encoderde-install and install previous versions (AE 17.0.4 and ME 14.0.4) based on another support articlede-install AE + ME again + run repair CC Cleaner Tool I restarted computer between each step and removed preferences using CC prompt (no manual deletion) I would greatly appreciate support help on this as nothing is working and I continue to get the same error message, and therefore cannot export anything from After Effects to Media Encoder.

I am using the lastest AE version. I tried making a text for a video as paragraph text and it doesn't work, I typed the first line and pressed enter, but the new text just gets mixed with the first text. I adjusted the text box and it still doesn't work properly. Any ideas? I am uploading a picture showing that it is already selected as paragraph text.

The after effects camera has another symbol instead of the 3D square and does not act on objects placed in 3D with this other symbol, can you help me?
