After Effects

This is an issue I'm having when trying to use After Effects on my brand-new laptop. I can't see anything in my composition (I know I don't have anything in it right now, but I should still see the black composition) and even when I try to view an image/video file, I cannot see anything.I've updated my drivers. I've tried switching the "Video Rendering & Effects" between CUDA, OpenCL, and Mercury Only. I've updated my Windows to the latest version. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and even tried an older After Effects version. I have no clue how to fix this.

When the application is opened, the screen does not turn on and it lags like this, then it closes, please help  

Hello, i have encountered very weird behaviour from Magic Bullet Looks. Before yesterday Looks was working as intended, but since then, some tools have stopped working. For example: Mojo2, Contrast, Exposure, ..., are working fine, but Film Negative, Film Print, Clarity, Shadows/Highlights, LUT, have stopped working.  What do i mean with stopped working? I can apply the effect, but regardless of parameters, the image doesnt change. LUT has a weird behaviour in which it displays the correct preview image, when selecting presets, but when applying the preset, the image stays the same. What did i already try?- Change to older versions of After Effects- Update AMD GPU Drivers- Test older project in which i used the effects (they were broken there aswell)- Update Magic Bullet Suite Has anyone encountered a similar error?Or has anyone, any ideas or fixes for this? (In deep despair) Thanks!

Working on my stop motion animation thesis and I've been stuck trying to figure out how to motion track the green markers on my puppets face. I've tried the in built motion tracker and using mocha, but both of those stop tracking pretty quickly. ive also tried isolating just the motion tracking markers individually and cannot get it to work. I asked a professor versed in after effects and he said I was doing everything right and he couldn't get it to work either. Can anyone help? I've looked through just about every tutorial I could find and none help me with this issue.  here's the scene I'm working on tracking, along with the isolated tracking dots. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X07uTDcWOtrKZ9nDdZgFzCSYXTv1E3Ra/view?

I googled for my question, yet I couldn't find a solution that fits my needs … I have a short composition that I'd like to run repeatedly in another composition. I.e., I'd like to loop the nested composition in an outer composition: However, all the solutions I found so far don't work for me. Time Remapping doesn't work. Re-interpret footage doesn't work, too. How can I loop a nested composition in an outer composition?

This is a big WTF for me.I have a text layer. I center-align the text in it. The moment I add an expression to its Source Text (even the default text.sourceText) it becomes left-aligned and REFUSES to go to center-aligned. Huh?! This seems like a very common thing, so what am I missing? Is there something else I need to do in the expression to get it to be center aligned?Thanks!

Hi! I animate a human character. There are a lot of keyframes (legs, hands, head, etc.) since the comp is 6000 keyframe long. Now if I want to focus on some specific movement it is very hard because I see the motion paths of all the keyframes. Is it possible to see the paths only for selected keyframes or the ones in the workspace only?

Hello!I need to install 24 version of Adobe After Effects but I can't find the way how to do this - only newest 25 is available (anc currently it's installed). So could you help me to downgrade Adobe After Effects from 25 to 24 version?Thanks

I've been working on video editing, specifically trying to remove a green screen background. However, I've encountered a problem where my subject, who's wearing a greenish jacket, becomes somewhat see-through during this process. To tackle this issue, I'm using the roto brush and auto-trace features to create a mask around my subject. However, when I try to apply this mask to the Keylight effect, it doesn't seem to work as expected. Despite searching online for solutions to this problem, I haven't found any helpful information. I'm really in need of assistance with this issue.

Aerender isn't able to see the default ACES configurations when rendering. I am not sure if this behavior is specific to AE 24.5, but I am fairly positive I have been able to render like this before.Windows 11, AE 24.5

Hi all, need help with a really strange problem.I just bought a new MSI Titan, it came with Windows 11 but I upgraded (not a mistake) to Windows 10. Now I'm getting all my apps set up, and to my bewilderment an old installer that I have for AfterEffects 2019 opens, but it gets stuck on "Loading..."This is a file I got straight from Adobe, and it works on two others machines with the same OS, so I'm at a loss for why I can't get it to install on this new one.I tried reaching out to Adobe support about this, but of course their cop-out answer was "AfterEffects 2019 is no longer available."I've tried all the usual stuff, re-extracting the ZIP file, disabling Defender, running as an administrator, the works. An old installer for AE 2021 worked just fine on this same machine, so I'm at a loss for what the issue is here.Can anyone help me with this?Has anyone else run into this?

Hi All, I'm new to expression controls in after effects. I have a number counter and I've tried a few different approaches to this (Slider control and a longer string of expression code). Ultimately I decided to use this simple control as it allowed me to control how the numbers jump quite easily:beginTime = 0;endTime = 3.5;startVal = 29219;endVal = 20188;Math.round(linear(time,beginTime,endTime,startVal,endVal)/200)*200 The problem is I cant seem to get a comma built in. Not sure if this is because I am trying legacy methods with a JavaScript project. Help if possible. Thank you!

I'm trying to play back my rotoscoped clip, but it keeps giving me this warning. I checked my internal storage and i should have more than enough space on my mac. What do I need to change in the 'memory' tab in order to make my clip play?

Hello, when I open the program and go into any file, the problem that you are seeing in the image occurs. It doesn't show me the elements of the composition and I don't have anything activated, not Shift or anything. I have reinstalled the program and run it again and it is still the same, can someone give me a solution? 

After effects keeps crashing on me.  Attached are the screenshots.  It is saying that "knoll light factory" plugin is not supported.  I've deleted those files and I'm still getting this error.  Please help.  I've tried uninstalling, resetting preferences, and starting in safe mode.  Nothing is working. 

I have to deliver a file in the format 24800x90, i have setup the file in AE this is working fine, i've already read that encoder is not good at rendering such large files, so i tried render queue. When i render i get a long black bar, that's flashing a little, but nothing like my comp, my comp has images, fonts and so on. When i used encoder it atleast rendered to what i believe was 20'000px and the just had the rest black. I've tried h.264 and quicktime, since i have to deliver in one of the two.  Can anyone tell me how i can get it to actually properly render?

Hello, I am trying to make a tool: Create a Text font size based on comp size.  For example: comp is 540px = Font size: 105px. Not change the Scale property. Find the font size given the Width and Height of comp and length of the string. I searched forums and found this script code, and it's working perfectly on the already created text layers.https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/find-the-font-size-given-the-width-and-height-of-a-comp-and-length-of-string/m-p/12588567 I tried to make it with Automation Blocks, but it did not work correctly.  Can you help to make this happen? Thank you

Hello, i want to use Trapcode Tao / Mir and i ran into this error. First off, i already searched/tried every fix i could possibly find and even asked chat gpt for help and nothing worked. I am using After Effects 2023 and Trapcode2023.4.0. My pc specs are:- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X cpu- AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT gpu- 32gb RAM According to other fixes, all monitors are plugged into the gpu and i have updated my graphics drivers to the newest version. All other Trapcode and other Third-Party Plugins are working as intended. I have tested both Tao and Mir in empty projects to remove any unwanted variables.  I am at a loss for what to do, my pc should be more than capable of running both plugins and i recall of using Tao in the past. I will gladly accept any help you can give me, thanks.
