After Effects

I'm still a noob when it comes to After Effects, and I have looked everywhere on how to fix this issue. My last resort was asking on here. I don't know what information is needed to figure out the problem, so I'll explain what I can. I have windows 10. This stupid error only started popping up since yesterday, when I tried going onto graph editor to view the speed graph. On both the value and speed graph, the keyframes weren't visible. The one time they were, I only managed to modify one before After Effects crashed. I tried again a few more times, and got the same result. This isn't a problem with importing a composition, just editing the graph. Restarting or uninstalling and reinstalling has not helped. Has anyone else experienced this error? Because for some reason there's no trace of it, where I've looked. This is really frustrating and I want to fix it soon. Please help! Here's a screenshot of the popup I get:

日本語版のAfterEffects 2024で、Cycore社の　CC～　エフェクトが英語表示名のタブに入っています。AfterEffects 2023までは日本語のタブに入っていました。英語表記になったことでエフェクトリストを圧迫しています。英語版で起動すると、英語表記になるためそのままの表示名です。現状日本語ユーザーに対して明らかに不要かつ問題のある状況であるため、速やかな修正を求めます。  

I’ve been having a problem with the preview window zoom in and out. I click it and it only pops up for a split second, giving me no time to click anything. It randomly does that, sometimes it's normal and then it's not.

Hola, cuando intento abrir el After effects, a veces me salta este error que dice "no se pudo cargar el paquete CEP (oplataforma comun de extensibilidad). Puede que tenga que instalarlo de nuevo" (dejo captura)probe borrando todo lo relacionado a adobe y volviendo a intalar de 0 todo y nada.      Las veces que por alguna razon si me abrió, anduvo mal, no me dejaba exportar con media encoder, no se sincronizaba,  y si tiraba la secuencia al ME, al momento que se abria el dynamic link, no cargaba.

Hi, I'm needing to take some footage that contains 48 frame handles (I know, right?) and reduce them to 8 frame handles, make the comp that duration plus one frame (for the slate), and place that footage into a precomp. I'm really having difficulty with it... Thank you for your time!

Hi.  Unable to find common/plugins folder to install third part plugins on my new Mac.After Effects 24.4.1Any ideas !Thanks

Hi. I am a videographer who uses the Legacy title from Premiere for Youtube video contents. I have a question though. If Legacy title tool, from Premiere, was supported in After Effect, I believe there will be various and creative tools put to usage as subtitles in videos. Is there any thoughts on making a Legacy tool for After Effects?

I'm rendering a simple project in AE 2023 and it takes forever! Like an hour for a 10 second high quality HD render. I've tried various simple projects and it's the same with all of them. I can barely edit a project in AE because it's so slooow.  I can do complex composition projects in Vegas Pro and rendering is fast as hell but AE is crazy slow. Any thoughts as to why?  i7 670032GB RAM6GB GeForce

hi. so I wanna randomize time remap in after effects on a video layer of 25 seconds. so I used the expression "random(0,25)". it works but it goes too fast, it jumps on every single frame. So i want it to go slower, so i tried the expression "posterizeTime(1)". Now it jumps every one second, that's what I want. the problem is it gives me freezed frames / static images every 1 second. and what I want is for the video to continue playing including the jumps. can anyone tell me how to achieve that keeping it simple... maybe adding somthing else to the expression I dont know? thanks

I want to design animation in after-effects that can be edited in PowerPoint for use in live production, as one (depending on the system in use) can't be editing and rendering during live production, is there any way around this🙏..I need a solution as soon as possible, please 

HelloI updated to Sonoma 14.5 last month and now have sat down to start a new animation job realise AE crashes every time I do a simple task such as drag a file into the timeline. I have logged all these crashes with Adobe with my email address and heard nothing back as of yet. I have followed the previous trouble shooting solutions offered on other threads which is to start up in safe mode, reset the preferences back and disable and plug ins (I don't have any). Yet it still crashes over simple things and the software has become unusable at a time I really need to be working. I was on AE 2024 and updated to the latest AE v 17.5.1 and same thing happens. I have never had a problem like this with AE ever and it's come at a really bad time. Please can someone from Adobe offer some solutions? My Mac spec is: Macbook Pro, Chip M1 Max, RAM 32GB.Thank you

Hey! I'm looking to create this animation effect for some video transitions in a project. Unable to find an explanation on a how-to. Is there a simple way to 'link' a video layer with dimensions of a mask/matte so they move togther (like in the example), or is the only way to acheive the video changing it's dimensions within the desired 'box outline' (as in the video changes it's centre point to fill the area proportionally) is to alter it manually and match the mask or matte keyframes with the video position keyframes. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!   

In most of my renders I get such noisy shadows or even the whole render. What is the solution!

Hey guys, im new to after effect, and i would like to know how to make effect like on picture, could anyone help me with that?

Evening, folks! I'm a little frustrated right now. I bought Red Giant's »VFX Suite« and only installed the awesome Supercomp plugin, but after the installation After Effects performance already went south immediately, without even applying the newly installed plugin. Even in low-res rendered RAM previews only 7(!) fps play back. After uninstalling Supercomp, everything was normal again, and after a reinstall, it became sluggish again. Somewhere AE and RG fight it out, but where? Looking at the performance monitor, neither CPU nor GPU nor RAM nor anything else go through the roof when After Effects decides to linger.Someone here have some experience with it - or ideas out of the blue?Here are my specs (it's an old horse, but it does the trick   😞 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz / 4 coresMemory: G.Skill / DDR3 / 16 GBytes / UDIMM / 4x 4096 MBytesGraphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760System: Windows 10 / Adobe After Effects CC 2018In the *aex I work wi

I have a 2021 M1 Mac Book Pro running Sonoma 14.0 as the OS. I've never experienced this issue before I updated my OS. I have uninstalled After Effects and Media Encoder and reinstalled older versions because I thought it might be specifically a CC issue. When I try to render my After Effects comp out of encoder I get the prompt ' "Adobe After Effects 2023" would like to access data from other apps. Keeping app data seperate makes it easier to manage your privacy and security. '  Regardless of whether I select 'Allow' or 'Don't Allow' the prompt continues to pop up over and over again non stop.  Encoder will not render.

I've tested in several versions from 2023, up to AE beta. loopout("continue") creates inconsistent noisy speed, and doesn't continue at a consistent speed. Wtf. I swear I've used this before without problems?! I posted a video on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterEffects/comments/1fw9tmr/weird_loopout_bug_anyone_else_able_to_reproduce/  

I'm just going to say it, the workflow sucks as it is.I'm using 3DS Max and AE for high end mo-graph work. There are no import rules to file types to interpret imported assests.  3DS Max has this.  Import a JPG and it's ACES/SRGB automatically by a rule I set.  Don't have to set every gosh darn asset in huge projects.  EXR's are linear and so on. It's confusing as heck (Basically I have no idea) if I should uses ACES 1.2 or 1.3CG.  I am importing 3D EXR files from a CG program.  So CG would make common sense, but it's not the default.  Do I care to know every in and out of this?  Heck no. The output color spaces change between versionsn of ACES.  No ACES/sRGB on 1.3?  Do I know which sRGB I should pick?  No not really.  Why are the ones I need not at the top of the list?And the  big kicker, Make a white solid #FFFF in an ACES project and you get a light grey solid.  That's a deal breaker.  How to

I have to force quit After Effects EVERYTIME, there is no error or freezing going on it just refuses to close through the file menu or right click. Why?

Hello After Effects community! I'm looking for some insight from the scripting experts here that I couldn't find with my usual searching. I'm currently working on a script that at its core will create several shape layers arranged in a specific way to generate templates, though the exact details don't matter for this question. One part of my script is currently adding two different shape groups to a single shape layer. When a script generates new shape groups it'll place them BELOW the previously generated shape group. I want to know if there's a way for the script to then re-order those shape groups after generating them so the group created second is on top of the group created first? I've tried things like the .moveToBeginning() method that works for layers, but no dice using that on a shape group (well, either that or I did something wrong which isn't out of the question). Here's a demo code snippit that's been re-formatted to run on its own to show what I'

I have the M1 Macbook pro and I have installed the After Effects beta version, and has been using stock effects up until tonight when I decided to install some free plugins. After installing them, I attempted to load AE and it gave me the error message "Last log message was: <29403> <SonyRawDecoder> <5> Found compatible GPU device for SonyRaw decode support."   I've tried deleting all plugins & scripts I've downloaded, and even uninstalled and reinstalled AE. Still getting the same message. Please help as I've got multiple projects I need to finish ASAP and this is nothing other than horribly inconveinient.

Anyone have a solution for this cutoff? It's really ugly 😞 

My muscle memory is reminding me that double clicking lines of type in the Timeline used to make the type in the comp viewer go into editable mode.  Now, double clicking does nothing. So where does one go now to restore the previous behavior? Thanks, Marc ChepAfter Effects v24.6.2

Laptop with a Finnish keyboard. M is in the right spot though, and bound to the correct command. Also, I can't change the keyboard language layout, changes right back to English when I try to save it. I don't have a search bar active or anything.

I have always had issues getting assets from Cinema into AE, with keyframes and animations being completely messed up. Baking out keyframes sometimes helps. This time, I am having issues getting an animation from AE to C4D via the exporter. It's one 3D layer with dimensions separated. This should be simple to get right, but if it can't, then it's completely useless. The animation does not match up. All sorts of weirdness is going on.
