After Effects

Hi,I cant write expression. But I try to. I dnt know how can I write this, because what I wrote is not giving me my expected result. I want the circle to stay  beside the clock. and I linked the circle's Y position movement with the rotation of the clock hand. but the X axis of the circle is in weird position.  how should I write the expression to keep the circle's X positon fixed or whereever I want it or just beside the clock but only Y should be take its value from the rotation of the clock hand.Please guide me.     

Hi guys. I am trying to making a video with Element 3D in After effects.  As you can see in the picture down below, the text has depth of field. The view has perspective. I would like to make the depth of field gone, just like the video I attched in this post. Making it all in a plane, no perspective. Could you help me with it? Thank you!

1. I imported a PP nested sequence into AE.2. Did all my edits and then import that AE composition back into premiere.3. I did this instead of "Replace with AE Comp"  in order to have color grading flexibility.Since i did that premiere pro can't load AE comps at all most of the times, or when it does, when i try importing the one composition i mentioned above it freezes. Also i cant open this specific AE project at all, not even in Safe mode. Ive reset preferences but it didnt work. Is this a buggy way to use dynamic link or could it be something else.Premiere Pro 24.6.1After Effects 24.6.2Macos Sonoma 14.1.1 

I was working on a project and randomly I opened after effects and I got that error message and then immedietly crashes. I have cleared the cache, restarted my mac and those did not fix it. Does anyone know what the issue is and a fix?

In my color picker in after effects I type in C8102E as the hex code but it gives me pink instead of red.... How do I fix this? I changed precomp/project to 8bit instead of 16 bit. I changed color profile to Rec709 gamma. but that didnt fix the issue. I've fixed this once before but i cant remember what the fix was. does anyone know? I think the issue started happening after I upgraded to Mac Os Sequoia. It asked me if I wanted to either grant screen permission to AE for 1 month, or the other option just took me to system settings but showed that AE already had some permissions but I suspect that OS is hindering the screen recording of AE because when I use my eye droplet tool to sample a dark red it gives me a pink.

Hi, I need some guidance from seniors here. If my AE comp height 1080, That means my Y axis limit is from 0 t0 1080. Right? that means My Sin wave's crest/peek will touch only two borders/egdes up and down where in Y axis down is 0 pixel and up is 1080. Then why the sin wave crossing the top/up edge here?? I already told the AE that value is 1080 in expression. then why its not listeing to the expression? When I specify the value in 'Expression' , the property that is linked to the expression must listen to that right? Please help me. Square's Y position must stay between 0 and 1080, I mean it must only oscillate in between 0 and 1080, nowhere I said go beyong that. then why its going?   

This is a weird one.We have a couple of projects that are in ACES, we're using Prores stock footage.Around 20-28th August something happened and all our projects just changed the Prores Mov files color space in OCIO from sRGB Color Picker (that we assigned) back to default Aces2065-1.It gets weirder.We're talking about a project on 20th that I worked on, saved (I always save before rendering), then rendered out.Now I open the project a week later and it's all wrong.The rendered files from that project rendered fine on the 20th - now the same project - that has NOT been saved after those renders - is wrong. All Prores MOV files are changed to ACES2065-1.ONLY Prores mov files changed - we have some Photo JPEG Mov files that kept their sRGB interpretations.It is bizarre - correctly saved projects changed their content.I thought that maybe the act of opening the project file does the mess, but if I open the same project file but from 18th August - all the Prores interpretations are still s

Inside a Composition, I have a layer with custom scaling keyframes, that flickers from -126 to +126.When rendering the composition, looks how it does inside of the composition.However.After changing the keyframes/ removing some and then rendering out the composition ( outside ).The changes don't seem to be applied and arent rendering out how they do inside of the composition.The effect on the composition that could be doing this is CC Force Motion Blur. Fix for now:Change the rendering quality, and it will update. Some screenshots below. The images show the time it's happening both inside and outside of the composition.The third is with the rendering quality reduced.  

Hello Designers,I have a small problem opening a new workspace for an L-shaped screen. The details sent by the company only provide a workspace of 2236 x 516 pixels. The shape appears uneven, so I need to create a design with a vertical part and a horizontal part. Can someone help me visualize this scene?Thank you.

A client gave me a 4K PSD to animate, however, the designs are all assembled as Layer Comps. I've never used PS Layer Comps, but PS won't export a single Layer Comp as an individual PSD without an error message due to the 2GB date limit. Is there a workflow for exporting PS Layer Comp layers to After Effects? Or to an Artboard? Thanks

Hey everyone,I just downloaded the Adobe CC and I'm trying to compose a simple 10 second GIF with motion text in After Effects (latest version), but find it painfully hard to work with keyframes since the playhead is always a second behind my cursor when I try to move it.

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.

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.
