After Effects

Hi there,  I hope someone could help me out with an issue I am having with a rendered animation from after effects. I want to post an animation on Instagram but my phone wont read the H.264 video. I keep getting this message "sorry, this type of video cannot be saved to this device". What I am I doing wrong, what setting can I choose so that my iphone can play my video? 

In Advanced 3D, when I turn on an .exr to light/reflect, it looks weird and doesn't properly reflect the .exr

So i basically started my ae, and my timecode are just five numbers here is a photo, someone please help me. AE pro's or people good with systems or ANYBODY help!!

Hi everyone. I have this problem:I created several videos in AE and Premiere and I exported them with codec H264 in MP4 format. Then I sent them to my android phone (whatsapp, email and google drive). In my PC I can see them fine but in my android I can't. I sent those videos to some people, someone can see them but others can't. In my phone I can play every other MP4 file but i can't play MP4 files exported from AE and Premiere, using and not using Media Encoder. I try everythings and everything points that the problem is with the export.I hope someone could help me.RegardsFacundo

Hi everyone,While working with After Effects on my laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce 4060 graphics card, I cannot get a preview. When I connect an external monitor via DisplayPort, I still can't get a preview. However, I am able to preview when using an HDMI cable.What steps should I follow to get a preview on my laptop without using any external monitor, or to get a preview after connecting an external monitor to my laptop via DisplayPort?I would appreciate your support regarding a solution to this issue.

Hey everyone, slight issue here. A client sent me their logo as a transparent PNG which I imported into illustrator and turned into a vector. I imported the vector into after effects to turn into a spinning logo.  After I imported this, I converted it to a shape layer but instead of being a shape layer all I got was a grey block and every time I attempt this with other logo files I keep getting a grey block and I don't know how to get the file as a shape. I assumed it was an issue with the display and exported it as normal thinking I'd see the full logo but I get is a rotating grey block. Anyone have any advice on how to get past this? Thank you!

  Every time I open the program, it gives me to choose "Do not allow" "Allow", I choose, but when I open it again, the same thing happens. I've already tried uninstalling and re-downloading the app, but nothing has changed.

Hello. I've been having memory assign problems for a few weeks now. Specifically when doing preview on frames i could receive like 5 warning windows about having to reserve different amounts of Memory RAM.Currently newest version of AE for Windows and have 64 GB installed and i've tried to reserve 58 for all Adobe Apps and main drive is a SSD but this does not solve the problem (computer has installed a GPU AMD RADEON 6700 XT as well but honestly i don't think the program is using it though it is detected by it). Also when opening most projects and checking on task manager After Effects would just rise memory usage up to 99% and get blocked or closed by error.Is there a way to reduce the memory requirement per frame when doing the preview? Could it be that there are effects present on these projects requiring insane amounts of memory? I've tried the beta version as well but haven't gotten any different results.I'll keep investigating on things to try and upload anything useful i f

Hello Motion Designers,I wonder if there exist a way to animate in After Effects the The Text Bounding Box of a Text Layer.So for example I want to show the span of the bounding box is taking more collumns, as the bounding box moves the text layer automatically adjusts and takes the desired space. Here's a video description of the question Appreciate your time and attention,Best,Khalid Dinar

Bonjour,J'ai un très grand nombre de photos que je voudrais enchainer rapidement dans une composition mais je voudrais que leur ordre soit mélangé aléatoirement dans ma composition (par exemple : photo1 = calque5 / photo8 = calque3 / photo25 = calque10...etc...Etc).Y aurait-il moyen de faire ça sans plugin, svp ?

Hello, I have had a problem for a while. I always have to separate the dimensions from the position to be able to date with the curves.After effect no longer presents me with a single curve. here is a screenshot.Do you know if there is any tuning that needs to be done to make it come back as before? Thank you.  

z = wiggle (1,80);y = value[1]+z[1];b =clamp(y,20,120);[value[0],b]; such expression does not work for the object.what to do?

Is there a simple way to set audio levels for left and right channel independently? Oder do I always have to go to the Audio pannel first? I'm looking for a special character that I can use while typing the audio level, splitting a single value into two:

AE 2024 & Beta crash when using:alert( [2, 1, 0].sort(function () { return Math.random() - 0.5 }) ) demo:(function(thisObj) { buildUI(thisObj); function buildUI(thisObj) { var palette = (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window("palette", "BUG", undefined, { resizeable: true } ); var button1 = palette.add("button", undefined, "RUN"); if (palette instanceof Window) { palette.show(); } else { palette.layout.layout(true); } button1.onClick = function() { alert([2, 1, 0].sort(function () { return Math.random() - 0.5; })); }; } } )(this);

Is there a technique that should be used when morphing a photo onto an object? I want to have a photo start out full screen and then get smaller and look as if its being morphed onto the surface of a mug.   

With my current knowledge, when I'm dragging a clip's ins and outs in the timeline, strange, unexpected things happen. This way I'm not able to work with After Effects in a productive way. I have been googling back and forth for this. Still, I was not able to find a thorough, yet concise, documentation on each of a timeline's elements. I know this is a big bunch to ask for, but can someone please fill-in the following table (perhaps this information could later be added to https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/…)    DescriptionWhat happens when dragged/movedA  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O   

Yesterday, I installed After Effects version 22.6.5. When I navigated to Preferences > Preview > GPU Information, I came across the following details:  What might be the issue here? My MSI Laptop, equipped with an i7 6700HQ processor running at a boosted 3.2GHz, and a GTX 960M 2GB graphics card, seems to meet the system requirements. Despite this alignment, I'm unable to utilize the draft 3D feature. 

I'm experiencing a glitch in Adobe Media Encoder when attempting to export compositions as PNG sequences. The issue manifests when I select the PNG sequence option; the preview glitches, resembling a visual distortion where a portion of the frame appears shifted (for example, an 8px slice from the left side of a red square is incorrectly patched to the right side).  Troubleshooting Steps Taken:Cleared the Media Encoder cache.Verified that all software is up to date.Tried different codecs, but the issue is specific to PNG sequence exports.Attempted to render directly from After Effects, but this approach is not optimal due to the number of projects and compositions I need to process (12 projects, each with 15 compositions).Checked and adjusted composition settings, but this did not resolve the problem.Restarted both applications and ensured my PC has sufficient resources.Tried exporting to different output paths and formats, but the glitch persists only with PNG sequences.

I am subscribed to Adobe After Effects. But Adobe After Effects is down, the video does not appear, the image preview only appears in the project box, the computer specifications are Windows 11, 16 GB graphics card, please solve my problem. Note: I deleted the application from Adobe Creative and reinstalled it, but the problem was not fixed

the Highlighted part is not in the vidoe but the adjusment layer back on pr shows it I would love to know what the cuz of this and if thers a solution

Hello,I've been using After Effects for about 2 years now and I'm working on a flat animation project. After rendering a preview this started happening...http://https://youtu.be/NbDXUh31V3EAny kind of camera movement with the phone makes the holder beneath visible through the phone. I'm using a camera parented to a null object for the movement.This didn't show up anytime in the past. I was hoping to contact Adobe directly about this issue however I couldn't find the correct contact for this. Does anyone have any ideas?
