After Effects

Hi, I am following one tutorial. In that tutorial, the tutor' s sin wave is not matching mine. His Sin wave started from 0.0, Mine from 1. Though I did exactly like he did. I need guidance. Please help me to understand where am wrong.    

I'm making a short animation for school, and I'm mostly done, except for an object disappearing in the rendered video, but appearing just fine in the preview. Could anyone help me figure out whats wrong?Thank you.

I'm trying to change the fill color of a text layer to a light blue. Using the RGB number from an Ai file, I go to change the text layer in AE...but it isn't even close. In fact AE says that that number is full black. Using the HEX number will get the blue color right, but it'll say that the RGB values are in the tens of thousands. Is this a bug? I just updated everything to the 2019 version. Here are some photos to help:This is the color I'm trying to get to in Illustrator:And this is what AE is doing with the same values....

After Effects Stop Responding on File Importing.  I am on the latest updated version.Whenever I drag and drop a file into after effects it freezes however if I go right click>import>file and import the same file that way it import the file instantly.Just drag and drop freezes. How can I correct this issue.This happens on any type of file, even images, jpg, png, doesnt matter if I drag and drop it after effects freezes.

My system to set to Dark Mode. But any save/open panel, import window, etc is blinding white.The expectation is those windows should be following the system appearance.As someone with vision issues, anything to make the screen easier on the eyes is crucial.The dark mode in macOS has been a feature for 6 years and could be implemented in Adobe's products. After Effects 24.5macOS 13.7.6 This issue has been independent of any software or OS version, it's simply just not been implemented yet.

Did you, Adobe, remove the ability for me to press (Numpad *) when *NO* layer was selected, to add a marker to the timeline's composition? As in, above all the layers... so we can see markers when scrolling down through layers? If you did...  I would like to request you change it back. If not.. please fix this bug. 

Good evening Community,  I created an Earth with VC Orb. To make clouds more "realistic" and to get total controll of the cloud-behavior, I created some Clouds by using VC Orb with Turbulent Noise and Turbulent Displace.  Optically I have to tewak here and there, but there's a huge problem with the cloud layer itself. While I use 3 static versions of clouds that I simply link to the earth rotation, I have a rotation issue with the Turbulent Noise Layer. When I rotate it by X-Position in VC Orb, there's an ugly scar at 180°, because there is no seamless border to the left and the right.  So my Idea was: I link the Earths X-Rotation to the Turbulent Displaces displacement value. But how? I understand, that I have to convert the angles degrees to position values. But how can I do that? I want the Turbulent Noise Clouds to move exact in the speed of the earth rotation. As I would simply link the X-position of the cloud to the X-position of the earth model

Hola! Simpre he arrastrado composiciones de after en premiere sin problemas, siemplemente arrastrando las composiciones o el bin con las composiciones al proyecto de Premiere sin problemas. Estoy trabajando con un proyecto de after effects que ya no me permite hacer eso, simplemente no aparecen (ni una sola) pero tampoco me dice ningun tipo de error. Simplemente no lo hace. (tampoco funciona el importar usando dynamic link importar composiciones de after effects. tira error.)Se que es el proyecto de after Effects porque lo he probado con varios proyectos de premiere y no funciona y también he importado composiciones desde otros proyectos de after y puedo importar arrastando varias composiciones sin problemas.- Alguien sabe que puede ser lo que ocasiona esta fallo ?

Hej Guys :), i want to know if there is a way to implement photoshop layer comps in AE ?i couldn't find anything about it. It would be cool, if there is a script or mechanic to use the ps layer comp feature in AE. 🙂 Hopefully someone can help me. Cheers and thx !!

I'm getting some strange glitches in my plugin I'm developing when using MFR. This effect calls for many random numbers every frame to generate boxes and place them in random positions. It's a relatively simple plugin so there's not much more to it than that. However, when caching for a preview, some frames have the boxes in the same position as the previous frame. If I disable MFR from Settings - > Preferences -> Memory & Performance it goes away and every frame has correct random box positions. So that's how I'm assuming it has to do with MFR. I'm not using any out of the box functions just your bases srand() for see initialization and rand() for generating a new number. I even tried a thread-safe random generator but the issue persists: int intRand(const int & min, const int & max) { static thread_local std::mt19937 generator; std::uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(min,max); return distribution(generator); } 

Hi There, When undoing a recently applied effects preset, AE also closes the Effects Panel folder structure. This makes testing presets incredibly tedious. Is there a way to stop undo from also closing Effects Panel folders? Or is there another way to test presets that allows you to quickly remove and apply them? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben - MacOS 13.6.7- AE 24.6.0 (Build 69)

Hi There, very green when it comes to this stuff so sorry if easy. Is there an expression that will add a slight pause to the typewriter write-on text effect whenever there's a comma? Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated. Cheeers, Ben

7296 x 64 comp AE will render but then I get this pop up when it's done and  it freezes so I have to force quit (on a mac)..  I saw it was connected with repetile or motion tile, so I pre rendered all of the layers that used that.  Not only that I have been trying to systematically turn off layers and render to see where the issue is, and it's simple logo and a solid.  I don't know if anything else in the comp is triggering it, because I can't get past those two.

https://nico.ms/sm38312345?ref=share_others_spwebHi did  anyone know how he made on eye text  visual  on after effects and sometimes like  shaking  grid graphic wave and some 3D text  Over sometimes I guess making like big brother mad with out big Miku 

Help please! Know how to rotate a 3d object with camera, but unsure how to rotate camera around object? Trying to use camera to do a 360 orbit around stationary 3d car, but failing! Im obviously missing something as should be straightforward?

Just upgraded to AE 2022 and its not linked to AME. The whole thing is messed up, tried so many things. Anyone found a way around this?

Adobe After Effects 2022 is stuck on Initializing Required Components. It's worked fine for months now. Then randomly last night, I quit out of AE. Attempted to re-open it and it was stuck on the splash screen: "Initializing Required Components."  I tried to google the solution but didn't find what I wanted. Someone suggested it had to do with a lot of fonts being installed. And I had installed a weird arrow font that day, So I deleted a bunch of fonts. Restarted my Apple computer. The issue persisted. I took the media core folder and dragged it to the desktop. Tried to go back into AE and the issue was still there. I got live support to remote into my computer. They put ".old" text at the end of some folders that had to do with settings, they did some other stuff like force quit out of coresync in the activity monitor. and i was back in! So I dragged the media core folder back to where it belonged and the issue came back instantly! I removed the media core folder. that didnt work

Estou tentando renderizar um projeto, tanto no After Effects quanto Media Encoder. O projeto não é nem 50% renderizado quando aparece um pop-up de crash com envio de relatório para a Adobe. Está me frustrando muito, por que preciso renderizar esse projeto para um cliente e não estou conseguindo. Windows 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Versão do driver 561.09 Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K 63.78 GB RAM 1920 x 1080, 165Hz

Hey,So for some reason, when I try to use a specific style of a Font family (in this case, Fakt Pro is the font family, I specifically use Fakt pro Semibold), After Effects won't list all the options.Fakt Pro shows up as a font option, but I can only choose "Normal" as an option, not Bold, Thin, Semibold, etc.But I don't have this problem with Premiere and Photoshop. In Premiere and photoshop, I can choose all the styles just fine.This is really messing me up, as it has to be Semibold, and if I have to make the text in photoshop first, that severely limits the range of animations I can do. I don't understand why AE can read the font but only SOME of it, while its two sister programs can read them all just fine.

Its not a new issue. Sometimes Iam unable to save or to save as.Sonds like a joke: The only possability is QUIT-> dont Save - wtf? 

I've been experiencing frequent crashes in after effects while doing non-intensive rendering or working in the timeline. I have tested my AE files on other computers (that are much less powerful) and have not had crashes. 90 percent of the time I am unable to render a file without it crashing. Sometimes it goes through and works, but rarely (maybe 1/5th of the time)  AE most frequently crashes while rendering. My graphics card is fully up date as is my AE.  I am on windows 11 pro version 21H2. My AE is on version 24.6.2.    Below I have provided screenshots of a sample error log, but it typically differes from crash to crash. Most frequnetly I just get the "An error has occurred" error message without a log or error code.  Additionally, I have run into problems in Premiere as well with the preview not syncing with the values on my timeline. IE an object is scaled to 80 percent, but displays at 60 in my preview window until I hit "play". Then

I have tried to access two projects from a year ago, both of which are using geolayers 3, and there are multiple layers that are not visible when I open the project. I didn't know if it was a version issue problem or what?  All layers with the issue exist above the mapcomp in the Composition.  If I reset the transform settings, I can see them in some capacity, but I need them to be exactly how they were a year ago. It was possible the preferences were changed in GEOlayers 3 since then, or we are using a different Map Tiler?  I don't see why these things might make the transform settings not exist in a certain space. Any help would be much appreciated!  Thank you!!

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not, but in my attempts to google an answer I did not find anything. I wanted to just mention it here incase someone else is having this issue.  I was sending clips from Premiere to After Effects to do some screen replacement work and using Mocha to do the tracking. It all looked great in Mocha, no problems. When I would apply to the layer (or comp) for the corner pin it would be offset.  Double checked all my sizing, everythings good. I now use Pre-comps for all the clips I want to use just to make sure the resolution is always correct and it makes scaling much simpler. Anyways it didn't seem to matter what I did the image was always offset. Turns out Applying the corner pin from the mocha options in the effects properties was applying the keyframes with large time gaps between them. So a keyframe that should have been mapped to frame 2 was instead on frame 12.. etc. I ended up copying and pasting the kerframe

Has anyone found a HDR Limiter Plugin for Adobe After Effects that works? I am often required to suppy UHD HDR content in Rec.2020 color space (ST2084 gamma), but that is limited to P3 gamut. There are times when image anaysis tools like MTI Film Cortex or Colorfront Transkoder report that the maximum gamut level has been exceeded with a HDR gamut target of P3 on renders that come straight ot of After Effects. Currently, I have to import all these AE renders in to Davinci Resolve and use their "Gamut Limiter" color FX. This takes time and disk space.FF Pictures have been promising something for ages, but it still doesn't work on recent releases of AE. https://ff.de/hdr_limiter_plugin/Any help with this workflow would be sincerely appreciated.  

Hi. There is a recurring issue when opening projects in After Effects. The project loads almost to 99%, and then it freezes. After forcibly closing the program, the project opens without any errors. This happens every time.
