After Effects

After Effects 24.6 is now live Hello everyone! After Effects 24.6 is now out. The August release doesn't have a lot of new features but it brings a long list of bug fixes. Check out the new version today. Here's what's New   New text scripting hooks for font management Use new scripting hooks for better control over font synchronization and replacement when using the After Effects Extensibility API.       Directly import to a folder Right-click any folder in the Project panel and use the Import option to import files straight into that folder.         Features in Beta     New After Effects Spectrum User Interface Experience the new modern look across the entire app, themed and styled using Adobe Spectrum design.         Per-character text and Paragraph styling in Expressions Use extended text and parag

When attempting to open a file dialog (Import footage, Apply Animation Preset, select Render output are the crashes I have encountered so far), I get the crash dialog and (at least in 2024) the chance to save a file.  The save dialog also crashes, however, and in 2024 I no longer have the option of sending a crash report. Have uninstalled 2022 and 2023, have deleted my User prefs folder from Documents/Adobe/version/User Presets, and am absolutely dead in the water. Any ideas how I can get back to work?

When i launch after effects (on adobe and normally) it says it has crashed and i say safe mode and other stuff but when it starts to load it closes it self in like 2 seconds and i tried every option holded shift opened as admin and nothing worked this happened after i reinstalled it.

my PC: Hi, I've installed After Effects versions 24.1.1 and 24.6.1, but sometimes when I preview the project, hit play, or just work in the program, it closes with no reason. At first, I thought maybe I'm importing a heavy file like 4k and 8k, but it's not the case. Sometimes the program closes even when I'm just previewing a simple 1080p file with no other effects added.i also changes my cashes to a different SSD and cleared the cash every 1 hour. butstill have the same issue.   My PC: intel core i 9 14900kGPU:  Nvidia Geforce rtx 3080tiRam: crosaire DDR5 64Gb 6000SSd: Samsung  SSD 990 pro 1Tb Please help, I have several projects that need to be completed within a few days, and I'm struggling with searching on Google.

Just a question really , is it possible to use the warpomatic effect in between every frame in a comp? if so how?thanks

I really need to get this project back! How do I restore this file? When I was doing this project, my power went out, I looked at the project notebook and it was empty, no autosaves

Hi,I'm interested in the Filmstrip export function which I think was dropped from After Effects after CS4 and I think from Premiere after CS3.I realise that it's possible to draw on top of video frame by frame in the Photoshop CC2018 Timeline - and that's great, it's a very useful feature.However I was trying to create a distressed effect across a video where precision as part of the process was not the priority - a little like in this music videoStupid Girl by Garbagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhPUAVgHZcWorking frame by frame in the Photoshop CC2018 Timeline would have been too time consuming to achieve something like this.But I found that dealing with all the frames as a single large image was more practical.I'm still relatively new to After Effects so if there's any better way of doing what I describe below, please let me know as I'd be interested to hear about it.This link (which I think belongs to Adobe) has the older versions of After Effects / Premiere / Photoshop that sti

Can anyone help me why I'm getting color bars in AE? Thanks. Mike

Hi, Just ran through probably 4th session with the AI to try to solve this issue, but "we" just can not solve it. I have a shape layer path that defines a frontline on a battle map. It is defined by even hundreds of individual vertices and some keyframes that then shows frontline changes through time. There are days where the frontline on the battle map does not change, even though in reality it does. So I have the vertices and keyframes defined on those static days without any changes, with the same value. What my goal is, is to use an expression (or a script?) to have it "ignore" the keyframes where there are no vertice movements, and get it to basically skip showing static vertices (with same values) on neighboring keyframes, and link vertices only with the next vertice that has a change in its value. So to have a continual and smooth animation.Assuming I explained this well, is this something that AE can achieve via expressions/scripts, or does something like that ha

I don't know if the title makes sense, but I installed some scripts on After Effects, and some of them are bigger than my screen resolution and I can't access some options.I just need to find a way to scroll down and see the rest of the panel to use the scripts properly.My screen resolution is 1366x768.  Thanks!!

1. I have a simple text layer.  2. I have a rectangle shape layer. 3. I alpha matte inverted the shape to the text so that the text is black on the white rectangle. 4. I have this red texture that I want to alpha matte to just the rectangle, while still keeping the text black. 5.  But when I do that, the rectangle is covered by the texture but the text is hidden. I just want my black text to show on this new alpha matted rectangle with the red texture. I need to use alpha mattes to acheive this effect as I'm trying to do something else with this premise. Why doesn't it work, a tutorial I'm following shows these exact steps to get this result. What am I doing wrong??? This is the result I want to acheive.

De repente dejo de funcionar el archivo, no me deja previsualizar y cuando lo cierro me aparece el error de <BEE_WorkQueue>, dejo adjunto el informe que me deja del programa, por favor ayudenme

In After Effects, "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" and "Zoom with Trackpad (pinch in/out gesture)" work inconsistently. When zooming with the scroll wheel, it functions relative to the center of the composition area, whereas when zooming with a trackpad (pinch in/out), it works relative to the pointer, which is inconsistent and annoying.The same issue occurs in Photoshop, but it works vice versa for some reason.In Illustrator, zooming works fine; it always zooms in and out relative to the pointer, regardless of the pointing device being used.  Zoom with Scroll Wheel works relative toZoom with Trackpad works relative to After EffectscenterpointerPhotoshoppointercenterIllustratorpointerpointer Please, pay attention to this issue and fix it. Make zooming in After Effects and Photoshop same good and consistent as in Illustrator when using different input devices. After Effects: Photoshop:: Illustrator:

Hi,for rigging a character its important to keep arms/hand positions exactly where I kept them in the first place. I dnt feel good when I see things  shift position after applying region of interest. Is there any way I can apply region of interest and after cropping my precomp will stay exactly where it was originally?Thank you. 

Greetings all.I've been racking my brains out for the past couple of hours trying to acheive this effect (please see video).Can anyone help?

Hello, I am wondering if any changes made in Illustrator like creating new layers will be reflected in the After Effects file? What I am noticing is that any changes made to existing layer is reflected in the AE file but if I add new layers with text/shape to the Ai file, those are not reflected in the AE file.  Is there a way to make all the changes made in the Ai file reflect in the AE file simultaneously? Thank you! 

Hallo zusammen,  ich habe das Problem, dass nachdem ich einen Hintergrund mit dem Rotopinsel entfernt und durch einen anderen Hintergrund ersetzt habe, dass beim Rendern das Objekt teilweise immer mal wieder transpartent wird, beim Abspielen in After Effects sieht alles aus wie es soll, die zusätzlichen transparenten Momente werden beim Rendern produziert.Welche Rendereinstellung kann hier das Problem sein, bzw. das Problem beheben?Danke

Since I have upgraded to 2022 when ever I add Particular to a layer then click the Designer tab AE crashes. I hae uninstalled both but it still happens, I even installed an older version but it still crashes, If I open an old project it still crashes. Sent the report with my email but Adobe are ignoring it and cant get any help from the support.

Just learning AE and trying to use fonts associated with a tutorial. Fonts installed ok in my Windows 10 system but not properly recognised by AE.  Attached vid has audio.

Hi, I couldn't find anything in forum (correct me if I'm wrong), regarding storing data on global level. So, my question is, what is the way to do this? I would like to save some random numbers in an array or std::vector and then use them only once in render function, I don't want to call random function each frame, so I need to save it in global variable. SDK Guide doesn't really explain this from what I could find. Thanks in advance!
