After Effects

Heya. As the title says, I set up a simple line with three path points, all following nulls using the new feature in AE 2018. However when I copy and paste these layers into a new comp, it seems to all break apart. The names are untouched, scripts seem to be intact, yet when I move the nulls around the path points do not follow. Any ideas?

Hi, I've been getting BSODs when rendering from After Effects in Media Encoder since around May/June.  When it happens: BSOD crashes on certain projects from After Effects, but not others. It only happens when actively rendering in Media Encoder, but mainly seems to happen while A) Scrubbing through the timeline, B) Opening a new file or C) Opening Blender, which I use often. It seems that more complex projects cause the crash, which simple video exports never do. What happens: The error is VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL. The minidump file created during the crash indicates WATCHDOG.SYS as the problem. I would also add that the render times on certain projects is massive. I have records of a render from May 2022 taking two minutes, and the exact same render is currently taking two hours. Note: There's a specific After Effects project that causes the BSOD consistently, however I've had a co-worker run the renders on his computer with no issues. My computer:&nb

Have different Layers in different positions in Z space, have DOF on, Aperture is cranked to 1000, Point of interest is in a different position than the objects, F-Stop is at .1. Does anyone have any suggestions? I saw something about collapsed transformations but when I go into 3D mode there isn't an option to turn the option off.Any ideas anyone? I'll send screen shots if requested

Hi:) a few days ago, when i used the roto brush tool it worked just fine. but now eveytime im trying to use it doesnt work. How can i fix this problem? (see problem at the video)working on macbook air m2 16gb. 

When I press Reset on my effect control, a PF_Cmd_USER_CHANGED_PARAM is sent for each parameter. However, when doing Undo, the parameter is changed in the UI, but I do not get any "notification". I have an object instance that should be kept synchronized AE parameters and I do not know how to do. For example, this object instance is used to determine other parameters visibility, i.e. if checkbox A is checked, slider B and C should be enabled, if A is unchecked, B and C should be disabled.A popup could also be used to populate other float sliders. Could I get some notification using Undo groups ? or should I manually resynchronize my object with AE parameters at each PF_Cmd_UPDATE_PARAMS_UI call ?

The problem I've been facing is when my adjustment layer has effects added to it that makes a distortion or something under footage or effects, it sets it in the middle of the screen and the effect doesn't follow the position of the footage or effect. Some examples of the effects are:Displacement mapChromatic displacementCompound blurand more... This is very important because I am a VFX editor and I need this to work for my videos.

Yesterday I updated from AE 24.0.3 to 25.4 and it will not open projects from just the day before. A friendly Adobe support person took control of the workstation and verified many system settings; tried importing the project into a new project; tried disabling, then removing, all plugins. It still did not work.After about 45 minutes the support person said it might be a problem opening projects containing MXF files. Note that I am able to start a new project and import MXF files with no problem. It is only with these existing projects that AE crashes when the "Opening Selected Items" window appears.  The support person said he would accelerate the issue to the team.Someone called me a few hours later from an unknown caller ID and I did not pick up. He left a voicemail saying he was Adobe calling me back about the problem. I called back this morning but it went to voicemail identifying it as "Adobe Sales" and no human ever picked up.I have rolled back to 24.0.3 and everything

I can't move (position) the null object that the camera is linked to, and when I change the position coordinates, the x,y,z axes in my comp don't change, they seem to be displayed statically.how can I make the null object lie on the comp like in the third image, instead of just being a square on the comp?

Hello, I got a little head scratcher here. I have designed a font, on a 1000pt grid (with a cap-height of 760pt). Then I type H in Illustrator at 500pt size and outline the strokes, the letter is exactly 380px tall (as it should be). When I type a 500pt H in After Effects and convert it to a shape layer, it is 382,6904 pixels tall. Does anyone know why there's a difference and how to fix it? I need it to be precise in After Effects so I can work with whole numbers.  

I have tried to use keylight on a subject before with no green bouncing on them and they always have this weird noise on their solid color non-green clothes.  Is there a way to fix this with another plug in?

Hey developers.... I'm facing this problem for a week now. I dunno the reason of this problem, when I add ''Magic bullet looks'' Plug-in my AE will crash, I swear It was working perfectly fine before. 

I'm used to having problems with After effects when it comes to Arabic. But, this used to be fixed by going to  After effects/preferences/Type and choose /south Asian and middle east Now this doesn't exist when I go to <type> Any ideas how to fix this?  

Hello everyone !I was trying to animate my logo in After Effect. When I turned on 3D on the layers, I got a display error on one of the layers. I'm not sure why, but a black frame appears around the image on one of the layers. I think black represents transparency. Take a look at the attached screenshot. This isn't the first time this has happened. The last time it happened was in the previous version of After Effect.Is there an option I can enable in the GPU's Nvidia panel ? Thanks. 

I duplicated and flipped a path horizontal to mirror the original. When I copy the path of the flipped path and paste it to the position of my new shape layer, it just follows along the original unflipped path instead of the flipped one. Does anyone know how I can get my shape layer to follow along a path that has been flipped horizontal?

Hopefully a wonderful guru out there can help me. I created a video and it looks and plays fine in After Effects. However, when I render it (using Media Encoder as well as Render Queue) it is disregarding a layer or two. I have never had this happen before and of course I'm creating a sample video for a project at work. Any ideas on what this could be. Thanking you in advance. 

I'm rigging a character up and trying to crop in on one of the limbs. I've selected the region of interest. The composition box is selected. When I go to Composition drop down "Crop Comp to Region of Interest" is not available. It is grayed out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Please help.

load this file. I'm using AE 24.6.2 build 2 on windows 10. At half resolution the top shape correctly masks the bottom one, and it's invisible.Switch to full resolution and suddenly it's visibleMove the mask 0.01 pixels vertically in either direction and it works again.Gonna say....it's a bug! And it broke my renders and I have a deadline &#x1f605

Hello Friends,can someone help me ,thank you !i have this timeline in premiere and when i import to after effects there is space between clipsi made sure and checked there's 0 space in premiere  

I'm trying to apply the trim paths effect to quite a complex illustrator comp made up of multiple layers/objects.When I first gave it a go I experienced the issue many other people have faced of it trimming/revealing the fill of a layer. So, I went back to the illustrator comp and changed EVERY layer so it had no fill and just a stroke (this was a long process), only to discover that this did not resolve the issue once I took it back into AE and tried again. Can anyone help as I'm invested in this now and don't want to give up!

I have a project which is relatively complex with quite a few expressions in pre-comps to animate characters.Since updating to the latest version of AE it is taking up-to 45 seconds to load and 'paint' the composition when double clicking to display it. For example, I just dragged a simple vector shape into a scene and it took 45 seconds to display the new composition layer. Once displayed it's fine. I have the same project in the previous version of AE and it was much much faster to display. What's going on? Is anyone else having this issue? It's killing my workflow. (and yes my Nvidia 3090 graphics card drivers are up-to-date with a studio driver).

In AE 25.0.1 (build 2) custom hotkeys are not working for any audio preview.Windows 11 

Hi all,When I take a simple image, actor's face, and use rotobrush 2.0 , it outlines it just fine, but......  (always a but)...The very first frame is ripply. The rotobrush doesn't look good until the 2nd frame.I start the rotobrush on the first frame, and I do a little tester, so the settings appear, and I select "quality best" prior to doing the full outline.I'm still on frame one...I do a full rotobrush and as always, the first frame stinks, the 2nd one is nice, as well as all others to the end.I can't figure this one out.  Please tell me I don't have reinstall the entire program for this type of glitch. 😞 Here is an example  (it's doing it for other clips as well.) First frame:  (top of actor's head) note:  it's all ripply Then the 2nd frame to the end... it looks fine: I made sure the 'caps lock' is off, caz I know AE is alergic to that button.Using standard DV clips, latest AE version, 32gb ram, 1050ti gpu, Ryzen 7.&n
