After Effects

This has been hit and miss. I am now consistenly getting a dynamic link server connection trying to use Track camera in After Effects.64GB RANWindows 7 proffesional i7 processorNVIDIA GEFORCE TITAN I have enabled all the recommended programs through my firewall. I see the dynamiclink server is running in my task manager, I have closed all other programs, no antivirus, I have restarted my computer, no luck with this.Also to add additional information: It seems that when I try to do replace with After Effects composition in Premiere Pro I am getting error: The importer reported a generic error and also when I first launch After effects I am getting a failure to load a few plugins from CineForm including importer

I am a user of the last 2024 version of After Effects, However, I need the 2023 version to test files and compatibility between both. That said, I installed the 2023 version (23.0), but when I launch it, it barrages me with a list of all the standard plugins AE can't see/find.It is the first time in all years I faced something like this, the most important, everything missing by the pointed location is there (Screenshots are attached).List of things that were tried but didn't work:- Reinstalling AE- Trying different versions (23.0 / 23.1 / 23.2 same issue)- Clearing all residuals from Adobe > AE 2023 folder didn't work either

Hello,We're trying to make After Effect detect the config.ocio file associated with a given project by setting the OCIO environment variable. We can't make it work however.We are using  version 24.0.3 on Windows 10 Enterprise and we've tried setting OCIO both in the user and in the machine scope (cf. screenshot below). Can After Effects detect the config.ocio file via the OCIO environment variable?If yes, do you have any clue about what we are doing wrong?Thanks for your help,Rodrigo 

my composition screen is black and does not open the discarded file in any way what can I do please help   Title edited by Mod.

   Hi everyone,I’m working on a personal project and importing my Illustrator file to AE.As you can see, I am trying to merge all the groups from group 1 to group 13 using the MERGE PATH tool in the content add property However, after I added the merge path, all my shapes blended into one block of shape instead of the original design. I’m not sure if this has to do with the order of the group or something else. Appreciate anybody’s help on this in advance!

Hi!I'm very new to trapcode particular, so this might be an easy fix, or impossible! I'm trying to animate some light streaks in a wavy shape. I want the ends of the wave to be thicker, and the middle to taper down, as if it's a light trail that rotates. The problem that I keep having is that whenever I either change the size of the particle (streaklet), or if I use a custom made sprite shape and rotate it, the lines become choppy. I've increased the particles/sec, and it was smooth before I tampered with the size or rotation. I've chosen a point light as emitter type. Is there any way to fix this? Getting desperate, and I would be eternally grateful for any help! 

Tody, out of nothing, AE showed 3 kinds kinds of errors. layer doen not have a source (26 :: 335)unknown exeption on frame 0 on Warp stabalizer (1) (25 :: 16)Ae warning: Get Dimensions: Layer Source is Null forcing dimensions to 1,1 (26::0) I can't open the project anymore.. I can import it, and i see allthe stuff inside but when i click on a picture file it shows a black image and when i load a project it gets one of the messages. I think it has something to do with broken paths, but i can't reconnect the files as wel. And i can't safe it t a new place or collect files to a new place.... It's probably somthing in the metadata... Anyone?? 

Hi, I'll try my best to explain myself here.I currently have an animation of a Shape Layer using two keyframes controlling the width of the the shape from 0 px to 100 px.Now what I want to do is to have the second keyframe value be controlled by an expression (so I can link it & make it "dynamic") WHILE retaining the animation curves (velocity) from my predefined keyframes. Is this at all possible? In my mind it seems pretty basic as I just want to change the value of a specific keyframe while retaining the timing and speed of the predefined keyframes.All I've seen are solutions where they replace the whole animation with some default ease or linear curve. It's crucial for me here to retain the predefined animation.I'm thinking a solution would be as simple as this in the expression window:key(2).value = [x, y]; //where I then would be able to set x to sourceRectAtTime().width of a specific objectThanks in advance!

I have updated to the latest AE version 24.3.0. Worked on blender to create 3D objects and import to AE. I save them in .glb format, and when I drag it to the timeline the object does not appear, it is just black on the screen. Although the controllers appear but the object seems invisible. I have tried everything, I don't have the trapcode plug-in and I don't have any others. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's a bug, does anyone have a solution?

I selected "quicktime" as format for exporting my prpject, but after rendering I cannot see any image. Can anyone help me on the rendering process?Thanks.

It looks like a simple line that is twisted and then wrapped aound a sphere. But I have no idea wherer to start  – should I start with a circle and twist that? Or start with a simple line, twist that and then wrap around a sphere? https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/746753181962983180/ Twisting circle   

So, a script I was developing was working fine yesterday, but today, it seems like my Array built-in object is broken. I tried restarting After Effects to reset the environment, but it's still broken. So far, I've identified that "map", "includes", and "split" are broken, though "shift" is fine. I don't have any custom startup scripts. I've attached a simple .txt file that demonstrates this error for me, though I'm guessing it would work normally. Just rename it to .jsx and run it yourself. OS: MacOS Big Sur v11.4AE: v18.4.0 build 41

Hi! As for the new update with the text styling expressions, it was amazing yet I cannot get the results that I need such as having a dropdown that controls the alignment of the text to center, left, and right.This is the expression that I am using: It still does not work but I do not have expression errors anymorevar dropdown = thisComp.layer("Control Layer").effect("Alignment")("Menu"); var myStyle = text.sourceText.style; switch (dropdown.value) { case 1: myStyle.setJustification("alignLeft"); // Left Justify break; case 2: myStyle.setJustification("alignCenter"); // Center Justify break; case 3: myStyle.setJustification("alignRight"); // Right Justify break; } myStyle; 

adobe affter effect does not appear on the screen.I insert object,video and picture and nothing appears on the screen.I tried this way:- restart computer.- Try to delete the current one and load the older version,still did not fix the problem. - Updated GeForce Experience and removed it again and reinstalled geforce, still did not fix the problem. It shows that it's not related to the geforce.Who has ever encountered this problem and was able to solve it? please tell me I thank you very much

I've been asked to upscale a comp I made from 4K to 8K and I used the scale comp script but some effects are now giving me image buffer errors, namely optics compensation, which refuses to do a 4X stretch when working inside of an 8K composition. I can render it with a 2X stretch, but the composition is not the same.    Anyone got any clever workarounds? This is 24.6.3

Hello,I would like to preview audio waveforms on video or audio files in AE before putting them in comp. When I double click A/V files in the project panel they open and I can't see any waveform. I checked everywhere to search an option for it but I could not find anything to achieve this simple and stupid thing. Is it impossible in the footage panel ? thanks,Etienne

So for context, I've posted a similar discussion before this and my issue currently is that AE Comp preview doesnt work as it is intended to. It only works when im Putting the program in another window ( on a extended display screen ). This wasnt an issue previously as all my drivers are now fully updated, I've purged all the disk caches, have done the " Deactivate Hardware Acceleration" mode and purged my media and disk caches. I'm not sure if this is a AE issue or my laptop's. Again I've done everything, I even checked and reinstalled my Intel Gpu Driver, Windows Update and Nvidia Driver recently to see if it would resolve it but it didn't work at all.Issues:-AE doesnt work on main display as seen here ( My laptop display ) But works fine when I place on another display ( another monitor/screen )This issue is also seen through Premier Pro as well. I also looked through other discussion forms and have seen a few people having the same issues/problems as the one I'm curr

I seem to be having trouble with my Trapcode Mir plugin. I had been working on a Mir project a couple weeks ago, took some time off, and now anytime I move the cursor, I get this error: after effects error: MIR: OpenGL error: Could not allocate texFBO (512) ( 25 :: 241 ).The Mir form also visually looks different. The 'mountains' I had created now look like some empty geometric vector shapes.I tried reinstalling the mir plugin, though I'm not sure how to uninstall it first. I'm relatively new to AE, so it's very possible I'm missing something obvious. Also, I'm still using CS6, Version 11.0.0.378 and I'm working in Windows 7 64bit with 32Gb of ram, 3.5Ghz X4, and an Nvidia Quadro K2200 graphics card that was having problems until I reseated it a few days ago.I'm not sure what else to try. I've attached a picture of the error message.Thanks for any help!

HelloMy after effects program recently started changing when my rendering is done. Whenever the render queue is finished, AE force-opens the program. To give an example, I am usually browsing the internet while waiting for my rendering to be finished, and it's quite annoying for my screen (for example when watching a video on full screen) to be interrupted by the whole After Effects window force-opening on my computer, when the rendering is done. I hope this makes sense, and if it does, please send me the solution 🙂 Thank you in advance.
