After Effects

Everytime I import my MP4 videos in After Effects, It gets a bit glitchy and shows green or white lines that scatter all over the footage. Is there a reason why?

So, at first Adobe automatically uninstall all my previous versions of AE without asking (Including 2023 and Beta) and install After Effects 2024 (obviously without any extensions and plugins I was using in previous versions) just to give me this: Now I can run it and I have to install another version again (if I want to continue in my work ofc).Thank you Adobe, much appreciated

Since the release of After Effects 2023 on Mac OS, I've been plagued by issues launching it every time I do an update. The issue seems to be some new security protocols that have been implemented, which mean that older plugins (which haven't been compiled using the more recent versions of Xcode) trigger a security alert on launch - bringing a up a popup window that says "Plugin: xxxxx is from an unidentified developer" and the option to cancel or move that plugin to the bin.  You can force it to ignore this by opening security preferences in system preferences and then manually approving it for each individual plugin (by clicking "cancel" on the popup, then clicking "allow" in the security pref pane). As you can imagine, if you've got a couple dozen plugins that trigger this, it's a bit of a pain in the bum.Now, I'm sure some white knight will now speak up and say "Well, Dan - just update your plugins, you dinosaur!" But it's not as simple as that. This issue affects many popular

Upon using the 3D Camera Tracker effect, it properly tracks my clip and puts points that follow and seem realisitc. When I click create camera, the camera is given some crazy calculated numbers for it's location, and all text or solids (etc), are extremely small and seem to have location issues when scaled up (they vere off from where the tracker says they are). Here is a clip of my timeline: (which also includes the rediculously large numbers provided for the camera) and here is the text that was created when right-clicking a point. it is legit so small it is the red dot in the bottom left corner. I have no idea where to go from here, I can provide as much information as needed, thanks in advance for anyone's help!

Hi Guys!I noticed two white horizontal lines in the composition that weren't there in the AI illustration file. It also persists when I export the composition into a mp4 file. I've tried rerendering it, playing around w/ the composition, and checking for updates but nothing seems to be working. What are your guys thoughts? Illustration file:AE file:mp4 file:

I am realitively new to After Effects. I have a rather large jpeg that I am using for a background image. It is a map. I want to create a line moving across the map using the stroke effect. The composition settings are: Width 7680px, height 2733px, frame rate 29.97, resolution Full, duration 35 sec. My system is Windows 10 Pro with an i7 processor and 64 GB of Ram. When I run a preview, the preview stops at 26 sec point and then replays. It doesn't go to the end of the composition. The resulting file when I render it doesn't display any video. I am using H264 - match rendering setting 15 mbps. However, I have created this type of project in the past, without any issues. It just seems since I upgraded that I am having this issue. I am sure it is a setting but I don't know where to look. Any help would be approciated.

Hi there,I can't upload my After Effects project files (.AEP) to Adobe Cloud. Any idea about how to do this?(I have 100 GB Cloud storage, it is not a storage issue.) Screenshot: Video:

Hello, the motion moving line is not showing up. So I cannot see the object is moving. Does anyone know how to fix it? Also in other project when I start the video my object is not moving and when I drag it I am seeing that is moving?

Tengo una animacion de posicion de un elemento, y cuanod quiero entrar al editor de graficos para ajustar el timing, no hay ningun grafico, sin importar que zoom haga o en que parte de la linea de tiempo me situe, es como si no tuviera ninguna animacion, pero si la tengo.

Good day for all!My name is Dmitriy and I'm a UI/UX designer. And of course I love Adobe products as you all.In my free time I create a concept of how Adobe After Effects mobile render client can look like.You can see it on Dribbble.Render mobile client by Dmitriy Markov - Dribbble Will be very cool, if some guys will found time to realize this idea : )

Until recently, I could drag a vector asset from my CC Library into the After Effects Project panel, and then use it in AE. Now, when I do the same thing, the resulting item in the project panel is no longer an Ai-file, but an empty placeholder? And in some cases, even though I for example drag my own company logo from the Library panel into the Project panel, it's not only a placeholder, but it tells me to license the file through Adobe Stock?! What is going on? How can I fix this to again to be able to use Library assets in After Effects?

How can I attach a video (animation mp4) to this can that the video does wrap around the can/bottle (full side of the can)? I have looked online for hours and cant find any examples. I have done a few examples, but the new video files does not move with the can, or the new video does not move.Here is my example video...ThanksJimmy

Hi I have an annoying problem.When letting go of the playhead, my mouse cursor stutters/lags for a short period and then returns to moving smoothly.I can quickly drag and release the playhead a few times and it lags almost every time and I've noticed my screen is slightly flickering at the same time. 1. This only happens in AE.2. When I turn off both of my GPU's in the NVIDIA CUDA Settings for AE, the problem disappears (I want to use my GPU's tho)3. I have tested both GPU's individually (removed each from case) - doesn't make a difference4. When I record my screen with OBS, in the recording the mouse moves just fine.5. It even happens when nothing is in the composition at all ... empty comp, just moving the playhead 5950X // RTX A6000 + RTX 2080 Ti

While working with expressions a noticed something strange going on with my box sizes when a text used faux bold & sourceRectAtTime().After investigating I discovered that at 100pt, faux bold always ads 10.8 ... px to the initial bounding box.The measured actual difference was 4px in the case of Time New Roman. I can reproduce this behavior in both the latest AE 23.3 version and the AE Beta 24.2.0. I added a sample AE files that describes this issue.Why is this an issue? I wanted to create a rectangle around text with faux bold that reacts to / sclaes with the fonts used in the text. Is this intended behavior or an actual bug?

So after all of the hype about these machines and the incredible amount of RAM than no one could possible need or use. I am constantly running into low memory, run out of memory warming banner. AE will not allow me to allocate any less than 24gb for the system and it's becoming infutiating.   I've moved form a mac pro with 256gb RAM so this after all of the "apple marketing" turns out this sytems is yet to be a mac pro killer.  Any advice - or is this also a bit of an adobe bottleneck? I've also spoken to Apple who of course blame it all on adobe. But the fact i cannot upgrade the RAM anymore - seems RIDICULOUS.  

I've been experimenting with AEGP_RenderAndCheckoutLayerFrame_Async lately, and came across some interesting behavior. I believe further experimentation could result in some pretty interesting usage from within AEGPs.Starting with my version of the `Grabba` sample project, I created an AsyncManager class to handle calling AEGP_RenderAndCheckoutLayerFrame_Async.Couple of interesting tidbits I've noticed:- This call IS safe to use on other threads, as long as only one thread is calling it at a time.- The Callback Function comes from `BEE.dll`, and works with (I haven't tried all, but I'd assume) all standard AEGP calls. Main pain points/questions-I'm looking for recommendations on capturing and safely returning the AEGP_WorldH (referred to as WorldPtr in my library) back to the main thread from the callback function. Currently, I've tried captureing by reference in the lambda and directly returning as a future, but I'm seeing some memory issues in doing so ( I believe corruption related)

Hello! I recently lost an AE file I used to create several MOGRTs. I never exported said MOGRTs as such files, simply exported them into the creative cloud library. I now need to make some changes to said MOGRTS, but I can't find a way to download them from the creative cloud and open them back up in After Effects. I tried going through Premiere, revealing the comp in finder and opening the AE file it provides, but After Effects can't read that file ("bad format or not readable"). Any help at all would be very appreciated.Thanks!

Hi,I'm new to AE and am trying to install the Duik plugin.I've downloaded the installer for Mac, but when I run it, it says it can't find a valid version of AE.I click on the '...' button and navigate to the App folderAnd then get the following messageAs you can see from the screenshot, I clearly have AE installed.I am running OSX El Capitan with AE CC 2015.3 and trying to install Duik 15.08.Can anyone help please?Thanks in advance!Oli

I'm running into an issue with Duik Bassel 2. I added puppet tool pins onto my .ai layer artwork, changed engine to legacy, and when I click "add bones" After Effects freezes on the Magic Is Happening screen. I'm only trying to add bones to the 3 pins on one layer. This worked several weeks ago before AE and Duik were updated. I have already tried Duik'sfix & uninstall procedure with no luck. Thanks.Running on:After Effects 2021 18.1.0Duik 16.2.28

I am needing to extract SVG coordinates for a script that I am running in After Effects. I have created an icon in illustrator, saved it as an SVG and pulled this string from it:["M0,64.31V30.34L32.36,0l32.37,30.37v33.95H0Z"]The script I am using is requires that the SVG coordinates be in this format:["21.32 9.44 26.33 8.84 22.26 11.25 24.93 16.40 33.72 16.40 38.68 11.99 34 10.06 33.59 12.99 30 11.25 32.02 8.82 36.36 8.84 47 13 36 21 21 21 13 13 20 4 38 2 47 13 44.10 12.62 37.13 4.10 21.04 5.92 16.91 11.32"]Is there anyway to get a string of coordinates from an SVG that will follow the format above?Here is a link to the script: https://github.com/adamplouff/scriptui-battlestyle/tree/master

This is after effect beta and I can't see mercury 3d like everyone else.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the issue below. I'm trying to move the feature center of the corner pin Track Point 4 and when I click and drag the box for Track Point 2, it shows up in the same spot and won't let me move it. I can move it via the sliders but I'd rather not do that for every single frame.

No rendering via AE or ME 2024. In ME it freezes and stops at the same time everytime. AE even doesn't start rendering. Lol. What a software.  All of themSo your only solution for freezed ME exports is doing it via AE -> MOV -> ME -> MP4. Since two years this is your solution. What a joke.So please explain to me now how to export videos for my client who is paying me a bunch of money and then explain WHY I SHOULD BUY YOUR CRAP SOFTWARE.   [Abuse removed by moderator]
