After Effects

I am so stumped with this it's not even funny... Someone so graciously gave me the information in order to get this expression to work: t = time-inPoint; animIn = framesToTime(6); // 6 frame starting animation animOut = framesToTime(6); // 6 frame ending animation stVal = [10, 10]; // Starting Scale endVal = [-248, -248]; // Calculate ending scale as 10, 10 animEndStrt = outPoint - inPoint - animOut; // Animations sclUp = easeIn(t, 0, animIn, stVal, [258, 258]); sclDn = easeOut(t, animEndStrt, animEndStrt + animOut, [0, 0], endVal); // Combine the animations sclUp + sclDn My only issue here is I am unable to adjust the ease amounts for the scale property; this is a simple scale in, and scale out animation for subtitles that can be repeated multiple times throughout the project. scale property keyframes I am trying to use for the expression animation(Keyframe1: 10 - 6frames - Keyframe2: 258 - end of layer - Keyframe3: 278 - 6 frames - Keyframe 4: 10) I will normally

I downloaded adobe after effects 2020 but after 2 months i wanted to upgrade to adobe after effects 2024 and when i un installed after effects 2020 I also un installed the adobe folder, When i finished installing adobe after effects 2024 the adobe folder wasnt there

I have to update a project made by another workmate, he is not available, he have this character hair bouncing a bit when it moves the head and the hair have this expression and show me this error and this is the expressionfreq = 3;decay = 5;n = 0;if (numKeys > 0){ n = nearestKey(time).index; if (key(n).time > time) n--;}if (n > 0){ t = time - key(n).time; amp = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - .001); w = freq*Math.PI*2;value + amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);}else valuefreq = 0.2;amp = 80;s= amp*Math.sin(freq*time*2*Math.PI);[s,s];

The subject doesn't do the issue justice.When I load a project, After Effects doesn't begin to render the preview for a long time. Not that it takes a long time to actually render, but it doesn't begin the preview render for SEVERAL minutes.This has also extended to the final render as well. Sometimes, when I tell AE to render, it will act like it will start rendering - the Render button and Queue in AME buttons are placed by pause and cancel, but the render progress bar doesn't change to the blue/grey striped working bar for an indeterminite period of time.Yes, some of the projects I'm loading aren't small, but they aren't the largest I've ever opened. Granted, there are quite a few expressions, but I would anticipate that would affect the actual rendering and not when the application begins the render.For example, I just opened a small composition with only two pieces of footage and no expressions from the project right before starting this post. There was no preview loaded (just all

I was using AE just fine yesterday, turned off my computer last night and there was a cumulative Windows update. Booted today and I cannot get AE to load. 2020 or 2019, tried clearing the prefs, updating AE, reinstalling and even system restore to before the update last night. It keeps hanging on the "Cleaning Up" part when it loads, sometimes it hangs on cleaning up "Anywhere" sometimes "AEDynamicLinkServer". Need some help ASAP...

Hi All, Tbh I'm not even sure how to search for this.  But Basically I found a tutorial to create a simple flag waving animation with displacement maps from other footage.  It works, but I'm not really liking that the surface its mapped to in my 3D rendering software (Lumion) is static and thus creating a weird mix of movement/non-movement.  I found a better stock footage element of a white flag waving on a black background, and I want to use this instead.  The displacement map simple approach isn't working, and I don't know what the official process for this is called so I'm coming up empty on searches.  Any help or pointers would be appreciated!  Thanks! I've attached screenshots of what I mean.

I want to create transparent shadow catcher. To do that, I need to set Accepts Shadows "Only".However, I have only option "Only - Disabled" and it's not transparent.Does anyone know how to fix this problem? What did I do wrong?!

Hello!I wonder if it is possible to skew a trimed stroke ?like this reference:

Hi gang; So I need to create a Null layer from within my plugin, and link a point parameter to it. I've never done this before but my understanding is that it needs to be done via Javascript. I thought I had the creation part done but it crashes upon execution. This is what I have:  AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP); A_Boolean outAvailablePB; AEGP_MemHandle outResultPH; AEGP_MemHandle outErrorStringPH; const char* javascriptCode = "var comp = app.project.activeItem;\r\n" "comp.layers.addNull();\r\n"; ERR(suites.UtilitySuite4()->AEGP_IsScriptingAvailable(&outAvailablePB)); ERR(suites.UtilitySuite4()->AEGP_ExecuteScript(NULL, javascriptCode, true, &outResultPH, &outErrorStringPH)); A_char* result = NULL; ERR(suites.MemorySuite1()->AEGP_LockMemHandle(outResultPH, reinterpret_cast<void**>(&result))); ERR(suites.MemorySuite1()->AEGP_FreeMemHandle(outResultPH)); ERR(suites.MemorySuite1()->AEGP_FreeMemHandle(outErrorStringP

Hello everyone ! How can I make a GPS line follow a moving camera (POV)? I want to imitate the design of a GPS app. Like the attached example. Thank you  

I have a simple scaling animation, with 4 total keyframes for subtitling. I have been searching the internet far and wide to find a way in which I can have the keyframes/animation automatically crop to the desired text duration, instead of having to select the two scale keyframes for each and every line of text and adjust them manually. The included photo is just an example of two lines of text. The four keyframes just scale the text from small to large, then from large to small at the end. I hope this makes sense, and appreciate any advice!

Last week I replaced my 2017 iMac with an M2 Ultra Mac Studio with 128 GB RAM. It struggles to even play a 4K .mp4 clip in real time. In my comparison tests, it was rendering comps in approximately the same amount of time as my old iMac (2017, 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, with 64 GB RAM). I currently have 16 GB RAM reserved for other applications (112 GB for AE). I have tried with and without Multi-frame Rendering turned on. I have not migrated my files from my old computer, so these are the results right out of the box. I'm using the latest version of AE (23.5.0). I was expecting previews to be about 5 times faster, but hoping for more. At first I was just terribly disappointed, and thought I made a huge mistake investing 8K in new computer equipment, since After Effects is my livelihood. But now I'm assuming that AE is just not operating right. I have read mixed comments about whether AE is optimized for the M2. Does anyone have any up-to-date information on that? Or maybe k

My special fonts are misconfigured, while the most basic fonts are pixelated. I don't know what's going on.

I use After Effects 24,3 on a Mac Studio Ultra M2 with 64Go of RAMWhen I double click on my footage after selecting rotobrush the screen becomes blackAnd nothing more, is this. a known bug ?Thanks for your help

started 7 days of free after effects, now I want to cancel it so that I don't have to withdraw money, but it doesn't show in my plans, but it says 6 days left in the application, I don't understand. 

When I change my OCIO Configuration to ACES 1.2, my after effect timeline can no longer playback in realtime. It will cache, and everything looks normal, buy playback is approx 1/2 to 1.3rd of the speed.When I turned it back to Adobe Color Managed, it plays fine. (But looks incorrect)Has anyone experienced this?GPU - 2 X 4090 RTX FE

Hi !I've created a clip on character animator in which my character is speaking solely, with no background on other puppet.My plan was to take it to After effects and add any background behind it.but, for some reason, it seems like my puppet has a black background that block any other background layer I wish to put under it on Ae.Is there something to do here ?

I have a logo in Illustrator I'm trying to import into After Effects. This logo constitutes 3 shapes: 2 squares 1 circle. If you look at the top right, the layers are three in numbers representing the shape layers. While I import it into After Effects as Footage so I can create shapes from vector, it does something interestingly opposite after the conversion.  It creates the Pathfinder effect(Divide) or Boolean effect such that where the shapes overlap or come in contact, it creates an extra layer. If you look at the bottom left to count the groups, they are now 4 in numbers. This hasn't happened before. I don't know why it's happening now. How can I fix this?

New media encoder is making my machine lag across the board.... anyone else with this issue?

When I try and preview my edit, it will preview the video and the sound and then randomly, the audio will stop playing while the video continues. Some times if I take away effects it plays a tiny bit better. It will preview with sound and video, then stop playing the sound but continue playing the video, then after previewing for a little bit it will resume and play audio again till it eventually stops playing audio again. I have no idea whats up, does anybody have any suggestions? I have Mac book pro 8 GB ram. Any help is appreciated!!!My version of After effects is 14.0.1.5 ( 2017 AE )

Greetings, I'm not much experienced so far in AfterEffects, nevertheless, I'm facing an issue, which I'm unable to solve. I'm trying to create a realistic water flow. I already created the animation and paths, but when I came across the texture, I was unsuccessful in doing it. I'm halfly following this tutorial => https://youtu.be/GLwpCNil3XE?si=D70xb_fRAtc3wta3&t=1181 ... the differences, which I'm doing. 1. The water is on an object, so I'm not using CC Glass effect and 2. I created specific paths with the pen tool and then animation by Taper and Trim paths.  I found out two problems:1. When I click on the TrackMatte setting on the BackGround layer. I only see "No Matte" and the two layers, while there should be Four options + No Matte (Alpha Matte / Inverted, Luma Matte / Inverted). If I choose the Water flow layer. The result looks similar to the tutorial, so I'm not sure if it is a problem.2. When I add Levels Effect on the Water flow layer. I got n

Hi, on my last two projects where I've had sequence from Premiere in AE via Dynamic Link have been buggy. Timecodes with content that shouldn't be there, for example a scene or audio from a random timeline, blank or mirrored content.  I've not resorted to creating a Prores file from Premiere into Ae but it's an annoying step I'm having to take as I can't trust the dynamic link right now.  Seems to be only from Premiere Pro to AE.  Any ideas what's causing this?

Hi, I have been using AE for 10 years, I have never encountered this strange bug, I keep flash back or software crash when rendering, I have checked the hardware and there is no problem, I tried Windows 10 and Windows 11, no plugin installed, rendering still crashes, please, can someone help me with this, I am going crazy.My machine configuration (i9-14700K,128G DDR5,NVIDIA RTX 4090)

I downloaded an .aet template animates a browser in an out. i have a screen recording browsing a website but the animate OUT sequence happens sooner than I want. If I try moving the keyframes down the timeline, it just slows down the footage and it's only showing the beginning of the recording. I can't figure out how to increase the time shown in my clip before it animates out. Any help? File No. 648284190
