After Effects

La previsualización (que siemrpe activo con la barra espaciadora) está totalmete congelada, no avanza, sólo funciona durante algunos fotogramas cuando reinicio el programa o el pc, pero vuelve a estancarse.Ya he reinstaldo la app dos veces, hasta instalé la versión anterior a ver si funcionaba (24.6.1), y sigue! no puedo avanzar en el proyecto que estoy trabajando. En esta laptop ya he terminado varios proyectos con éxito pero esta vez no tengo idea qué pueda pasar. Ya vacié el chaché varias veces, reinicié, reinstalé el programa, pero nada. Estoy bastante frustrado y no sé cómo souliconarlo. Alguna idea? a alguien le ha pasado? saludos.

I'm running a .jsx script that creates a bunch of comps and footage automatically.I'm able to run the .jsx and it does what it does just fine. The .jsx creates a couple of comps and brings to the front one of two comps. I'm able to do some after action steps on one of the created comps "Camera01_3d" upto and including a execute menu command block "Trim Comp to Work Area". This is all great!`Where I'm having an issue is opening the second comp in the forefront of After Effects to run the execute menu command block on the second comp.How can I "open" the (second) ReCamera01_3d comp to run the menu command? I tried the select project items block, and select layer(s) block and neither of these brings the comp to the front.As always, any input is appreciated! 

The tracking software I use (Syntheyes) exports out .jsx files and creates scenes inside AE. It's great! With Automation Blocks, I'd love to run the script and do a bunch of repetitive tasks after it's imported and clean up the scene. Is there a way to launch a specific .jsx script from an animation block?

When I launch After Effects 24.6.2. (Build 2), Untitled Project page opens automatically with the main page and the "New project" selection doesn't work. When I close the Untitled Project tab it quits After Effects completely. When I launch again same thing happens. I did try uninstalling and installing again but that didn't solve the issue.I did try the safe start but that didn't solve the issue. This problem started suddenly, I didn't change or did anything to cause this problem. My hardware specs are: Mac Studio / M1 Max / Sequoia 15.0 

Hello all, What I've triedI've been working on a fairly heavy After Effects comp for a while.  I've got a video coming up that will use a bunch of animated graphs throughout, so I wanted to set up a comp that took CSV data and spat out an animated graph.  In hindsight, is AE the wrong tool?  Should I have used something else?  I don't know but anyhow: I've finally got a working comp that does everything I need.  Secretly I'm a little bit proud of it.  I can load a CSV file directly into AE, tie it into the data paths for the graph, tweak some controls and then it animated the data paths to the correct positions based on the CSV values.  It's heavy going, there's around 20 layers and over half of them are showing 100-200ms to evaluate when I use the snail icon. However...It won't render correctly. Which as you can imagine, is a fairly big spanner in the works.  I don't know why it won't render either.  The graph and the pa

Hola comunidad! Mi nombre es Julieta y necesito ayuda. La semana pasada comencé un video en After Effects y ahora al volver a abrirlo para finalizarlo no me deja ver la previsualización en la ventana correspondiente, parece que estuviese vacio. Jamas me paso, necesitaria saber como resolverlo! Muchas Gracias

Hi all,Am new to After Effects but have tried the below tutorial to create a wiggle effect for my artwork.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0JesMPdeIk&t=2s At first the adjustment layer was at the top of all other layers but I have decided it looks strange applied to the carrots so have rearranged so that it is sitting above the text layer only. The problem is now that my carrot illustrations still have the wiggle effect applied and I am not sure why. They don't animate anymore but still are wobbly from effect?   

I have a project with a lower third and a book mockup with some keyframed opacity and some shadows, which I've used multiple times. I've never had any issues with this setup until I recently changed the comp background colour to make it easier to see what I was working on. I'm under the impression that this background colour should not be visible in the final render, but any part of the lower third that has partial opacity (not 0 or 100%) will be changed to the background colour, still with opacity applied. So a grey/black shadow or fade will appear green if the background colour is set to green, and as an asset fades up, it will go from darker to brighter. This colour change is not visible in the composition window but is visible in Quicktime and when imported into Premiere Pro or After Effects.I've tried exporting from both After Effects 22.6.5 and 24.1.0The Render settings I have tried are:Field render: Off/Upper FieldAll other settings are default for "Best settings"The O

Hi thereThis is a general question about the code autofill (auto-closing brackets) When I go back to an equation that I am writing in an expression and want to add in brackets Made-up example:Original code  5+5*2   = 15New code desired result (5+5)*2 = 20 When I type the left bracket (, it automatically closes ()So in the case of the above I would get ()5+5*2 when trying to adjust and then have to delete or cut and paste a bracket.Is there some shortcut instruction that allows me to say highlight the section and "put it in brackets"or do I just need to decide if I turn off the autobrackets feature altogether etc. If there is no shortcut I'd probably turn it off automatically but if there is I'd rather do the more efficient way if there is one I don't know of.

I have updated both AE and C4D but the C4D importer in not working.  I have tried manually placing in the plug ins folder in AE but no go.Has anyone been able to fix this problem on  PC...? Cheers!  

Im trying to access the 2nd dropdown menu from Camera Lens Blur Effect Layer "ADBE Camera Lens Blur-0010"   My issue is that I am unable to access the second dropdown, the Source/Masks/Effects & Masks dropdown.  I am trying to automate a process and part of that is changing that dropdown to "Effects & Masks".   var lensBlurEffect = deviceScreenTrackLayer.property("Effects").addProperty("Camera Lens Blur"); var blurMapLayerProperty = lensBlurEffect.property("ADBE Camera Lens Blur-0010"); blurMapLayerProperty.setValue(1);   I am able to set the layer to index 1 but I am unable to change from "Source" to "Effects & Masks"   I just need to know if it is even possible.  Thank you in advance!  Best, - David 

For the past several weeks, I've been getting kernel panics when using After Effects and sometimes Premiere Pro. Not doing anything too intensive. Can anyone see something in here that indicates the issue? Hardware test passed. Crash report attached. Thanks!!!

I've been trying to sort this out for days, but I'm not sure why my stereoscopic VR files are creating really wacky OUTPUT compositions. I've tried out every tutorial on YT, and have been using this method of precoming the LEFT and RIGHT portions of the video separately, then creating 3D edits with the VR Comp Editor. Once I do that, I can orbit around and edit my footage with no issue. Note that the VR Comp Editor does not change though. I'm not given any new options to switch between the Edit and Output on the window itself. This is different from all tutorials I've seen. Finally, when I go to Output for a render, I get a comp that looks like this every time.I've tried many different methods, without precomping and whatnot. It ends up looking like this every single time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m trying to add 3D atmospheric light to an image, but the light isn’t moving. It stays fixed on the image. I’m planning to turn the image into a seamless loop. Could you help me figure this out?

I am working with many layers and want to edit a movement that includes several of them at once, and also have them move in the same interpolation as each other. How do I edit that in one move instead of editing each one individually? I know there a keys for only editing the Position (P), Opacity (T), etc, but what about more complex functions like something inside a Puppet effect? I am using the latest edition of AE on a Windows 11.

These kinds of animations look like they're digitally painted in 2D (like photoshop), then animated in After Effects layer by layer. But in the video below, notice the pink ribbons attached to the lady's forearms. They look like they were digitally painted, yet animated in a 3D fashion. Can After Effects achieve this? If not, does anyone know how you would make something like that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-_JxiLl0Xs&list=PLbAFXJC0J5GZHUtGea_zQR0OyD3UBuw9s&index=29&t=0s

Hello, I am working on an old MacBook Pro 2015 with the currently available macOS for this hardware. My problem is that After Effects does not support Advanced 3D for my MacBook ("Advanced 3D is not supported by the current hardware"). Is there any way to make Advanced 3D available on my MacBook? After Effects Version 24.6.2macOS Version 12.7.6 Thanks a lot!Mark
