After Effects

I'm trying to create a globe sphere in After Effect using the cc sphere preset. I have a world map and a rectangle which will form the actual sphere, as two separate layers (which I created in Illustrator). I precompose them and then apply the cc sphere preset but the edges of the rectangle remain separeted causing a blank space in the sphere (see attachment). I've tried increasing the dimension of the rectangle but it doesn't seem to solve the issue. Can anyone suggest a fix? Many thanks

Hello guys,I am looking for help on a problem I have since this morning and can't find why.On the screenshot below you can see that the orange line that should be on the first bar below "RIVAGE" is offseted and scaled.I copied the mask path (tracé du mask) and pasted it on position on the light calc called "Emitter" and it's not matching the bar that I traced with the pen tool.Does anybody has a clue on what parameters could influence this so that I can fix it or if it comes from something else?Thanks a lot for your help!!Cheers!

Hello everyone , I am new to after effects  and I don't know anything about after effects , layers , composition . . . NOTHING ! ! !     So I'll be asking you some  ' very stupid questions '  along the way  so please pardon my ignorance.Question No.1 :  I've started my first lesson by  composition > new composition etc. but when I click and select a background color , etc the color does not show up in the composition panel . . . . what am I doing wrong ?Thanks.

The system is Windows 10, the graphics card is AMD, After Effects 24.1 cannot import OBJ.and GLTF file do not display when imported.But these problems do not exist in the beta version.

Hello, I have a problem with animation fluidity. Just the night before yesterday I made the smoothness I needed for the first text, but I forgot how I did it.. It turns out that in the speed diagram I pulled both sliders to the left edge, but as I said earlier, I don’t remember how I did it the day before yesterday, and I don’t I know how to make the rest of the text have the same smoothness. Can you please tell me how to pull it completely to the opposite edge of the animation. Because no matter how I tried to repeat the same smoothness today, I can only pull the slider to the middle, and not to the end. Please, I REALLY need help, all the work is costing me because of this problem.

After effect didn't show anything.My After effect gone wrong, what support do I do?

We are trying to open a project I created on my iMac on a Windows machine. But all the dropdown menus that are, in German, usually called "Menü" are now called "MenY"; therefore, all my expressions are broken now. This happens in AE 2023 and AE 2024 and on multiple machines.If we manually add a Dropdown-Menu to a clip the effect is named correctly. Only the ones that were added on Mac are named wrong.Hope someone can help?

Hello! I tried getting help on Reddit but recieved nothing but 1 unhelpful response. I am trying to create a shadow for a 3d model in my comp, but the shadow catcher appears as a black square. Another Adobe Community post had the same issue in 2017, and apperently Cinema 4D renderer does not support shadow catchers. But I am not using C4D, I am using the advanced renderer. Does it not support shadow catchers either? That would be weird. The setting for "Accepts Shadows" is shown as "Only - Disabled" which is what the C4D guy had too. I have a sneaking suspicion that my fears are true.  If they are, will shadow catchers in the advanced renderer be supported soon? Thanks! 

Ctrl+E not open photoshop. After insists on open Premiere Pro

After updating to 24.1 for a lot of footage files the assigned profile is ignored, making me have to check all footage files and reassign the correct profile. Again. This happend before.Im working on VFX in ACES, and for this you need to assign the right color profile for every footage file you import (which for some reason is not scriptable), so it's quite frustrating to have to do this all over again for most (but not all?) footage files.Would be great that now ACES support is incorporated in AE the color profile assignment process is also updated (making it 'smarter', or allowing for user defined presets for a project (stills or .jpg = sRGB, .mov = LogC4, .mp4 = g2.2 r709 for example) or at least making setting color profiles scriptable so I can make a Kbar action to set a color profile interpretation, without changing frame rate and PAR at the same time like when using 'Apply Interpretation')

I stumbled on an issue when I add Particle System II to a layer; it disappears! The layer is there but shows nothing. When I disable the effect, is shows up again. I cleared cache, restarted AE and my PC to no avail. Any ideas?

I'm looking at the scaling of imported OBJs. Why is there a units dropdown? Everything in AE is in pixels, making a units setting questionable. The OBJs seem very large; as I see it, each unit in the OBJ file is 512 pixels in After Effects at 1 meter units and 100%? That's correct & going to be the scaling going forward? Very computer-y and kind of spoils the point of having a units setting. (I see Model scaling and Transform scale are separate, so there are 3 different levels of scaling present.) I'll suppress the Model Settings dialog during scripting; presumably at some point those settings should be scriptable.  Bug: the Advanced 3D renderer usage warning appears even if it has already been selected by a script.

Bonjour,Je recois ce message à l'ouverture de fichier AE :"le fichier existe mais ne peut pas être ouvert en lecture"Ceux sont des projets assemblés que m'envoie mon client mais à chaque fois le même message. Ensuite quand je clique sur OK.Je recois ce message :"Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier "/user/....". Si le fichier est ouvert dans une autre application, sa fermeture permettra peut-être de résoudre le problème"Or je n'ai pas ce fichier ouvert dans une autre application.S'en suit un enchainement de messages :- "Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier source. Verifier que le fichier dispose des autorisations nécessaires" ou - "ce fichier est endommagé ou n'est pas pris en charge" Le problème vient de mon coté ou de celui du client ? Sachant que j'ai la version MacOs Ventura 13.4.1. Que j'ai ré-installé After effect 24, deux fois.Est ce que la communauté Adobe peut m'eclaircir à ce sujet ? Dans l'attente de vos retours (avec impatience)Merci.  

I'm getting frustrated. I have no issues with any other 3D rendering applications such as blender or unreal engine, however the moment I enable 3D layers in after effects (using just 2D graphics and text i should add) I immediately get low memory warnings and AE slows to a sluggish pace. I can't get any work done like this.I've tried searching for a fix and all I can find is people recommending to clear cache and make sure memory allocation is done correctly. I've done all this already, it doesn't change anything. The only workaround I can find is to not do any 3D work in after effects, and that's just not a very feasible workaround. Specs:GPU - RTX 3090RAM - 32gb DDR4 3600CPU - Ryzen 7 5800x

So I have been unable to use After Effects for the last three weeks because my 3d camera tracker has decided to break. It will track through everything quickly,  and then the points that it gives me will not move throughout the scene. This also does not allow Warp Stabilizer to work in AE though it does work in Premiere.  I have tried doing a clean install and download of AE. I also tried running the intel version of AE through Rosetta but still had the same issues. I even did a clean install of Mac OS to see if that was the issue but nothing seemed to help.  The only thing that has allowed me to use the data is to transfer the project to my Gaming PC, track the footage, and save the data. However, I am often on the road so this solution won't work forever. In addition, I rely on the Macbook screen due to it being more color-accurate than my regular monitor. I have also tried to use both Mocha Ae and the 2D tracker and while they do work on my Mac, I've no

Was curious if anyone else has encountered this in the update to After Effects 2024.  I've noticed a few of my expressions have been breaking, in particular, just a simple comp("Comp 1").layer("Text Reference").text.sourceText.  I was referring a bunch of text in a project to one text layer in one composition, but noticed today that it wasn't working.  I tried pasting the expression in again, rewriting it, restarting the project, and restarting the computer.  Nothing worked.  I don't get an error message, it just doesn't update with the text layer anymore like it did in AE 2023.  Am I missing something or is anyone else running into this problem?

Hi everyone, I've a big issue trying to use my RX 6800M GPU with After FX, Premiere and all the design/video softwares. Simple, the software doesn't recognize my GPU, perhaps the GPUsniffer.exe does. I tried to unistall and install my gpu drivers twice. Even I tried to uninstall and re-install all my adobe package. I wonder if my Graphic Card works with your products. My specs are the following:Windows 11AMD Ryzen 9 5900HXAMD Radeon RX 6800MRAM 64 gbAsus ROG Strix  Screenshot from PremiereScreenshot for GPU Sniffer 

Hi everyone, I've been struggling with rendering for years now.My projects are often 15~20 minutes long with mainly AE dynamic link sequeces. The AE files only has keylights, vectors and some keyframes, no other heavy effects.More often than not in regards to big projects the render will get halted while the expected render time keeps going up, forcing me to requeue it. What's more confusing is that sometimes after requeing it will render smoothly without any problem.Has anyone encouter the same issue? and how can you fix this? I've missed so many deadlines because of it. 

After Effects 2023 & 2022 are constantly crashing, Yes I have updated graphics drivers.The has been an awful experience.Firstly they would not install via the CC app. Then they would not startup without crashing.So I updated graphics card (RTX4080) to latest studio drivers (535.98)I managed to work for 30min, then the app crashed (2023 latest), and now I can't start either 2023 or 2023.All the crash logs state this with slight variations: Crashed thread: 27 [9012] THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMALException Code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONException Parameters: Access violation writing location 0x0000006669a00f48Exception Message: 3221225477 The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s. I tried attaching the .crash files but guess what, even that doesn't work.garbage

i have no idea what's causing this and I am new to after effects, I added the effect on an adjustment layer yet no matter what I did they won't go away, there's also some red crosses on the screen aswell
