After Effects

So, I've been trying to solve a problem for last 3 days, 3 different adobe support guys tried (with taking over the computer) wihtout solving it. Problem:When exporting a video via Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, the sound has crackling / popping in certain places, not often that you notice it easily, but often enough to be not usable. Problem is only when AME is export from AE.* If I do the same thing in AME from hard drive file, there is no problem.* If I export from After Effects (in any format), there is no problem.What I've tried:* Updating AME* Using different project* Saving audio file in different versions* Precomping audio file* Everything I could think of in AE alone* Making comp longer 2-3 seconds and other suggetions of similar nature from adobe forums* Using few AME versions* Tried from AE CS6* Using wav instead of mp3* Switching from 48khz to 44 (both in AE and AME)* Trying with 16 bit 48khz* Bascially everything suggested from forums regarding wav/mp3/khz/bi

Hi,I’m looking for an expression that, applied to a text layer with a high tracking value (250 for example), will adjust che space between each couple of letters with a sinusoidal shape, with a zero value on left and right and the maximun value at the center. The width of the text box should be retained. It also would be nice to have a parameter to animate the “strength” like in the attached image, that is a simulation of the result I’m looking for. Thanks in advance

In one of my Libraries, the saved colors don't show in AE Libraries panel, only other assets like graphics. In all other apps, the colors show. I've tried clearing the filters, changing the grouping etc. but no joy. The colors were originally added in Illustrator. It's sporadic. Happens for a while and then they mysteriously reappear.    Latest version of AEWin 11128GB RAMAMD 5950xRTX 3080

I'm finding this tool extremely helpful, but something that has been popping up is I can't seem to be able to save it's layout from session to session. It keeps defaulting back to it's original state. Any input would be appreciated.

Is there a way to access "Save Frame as ProEXR" from Automation Blocks?I'm looking to export a multilayered EXR with holdout mattes via the Render Que, and this functionality is not available there?If not, I'd love to petition Adobe to include this functionality into the render que so it can be used more widely. Adobe bought and implemented this fnord plugin back in 2019/2020 and hasn't really incorporated it into the main codebase.

Hello! I would like to have an expression on a Menu Dropdown controller, such that ifvar text = thisComp.layer("Verse").text.sourceText.value;has 1 lines of text, then the dropdown menu will be value 1, if it has 2 lines the menu will be value 2, and if the text has 3 lines it will be value 3. (The default vaule of the dropdown menu should be value 2.) Is there a way to do this, where you reference how many lines a text layer has with an expression? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have been trying to recreate something I saw online for some time ago but with not much of luck,I am trying to skew some characters on a word using text animator but adjust also the space of the lettersso the skewed letters doesn't fall on the othersAny ideas would be much of a help.Cheers!

There is a problem which is driving me crazy for months now.We have multiple computers running After Effects, and there is a brand new PC with no expense spared components in it which just crashes really often (Intel Core i9-13900K with 128 GB DDR5 RAM, RTX 3060 Ti and a MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI) and a All other, much lower quality PC-s manage to continue working on the same comp, same AE version, same Windows, without problems. Its not a comp specific or effect specific thin, it can happen anywhere, even in  safe mode (both Windows and After Effects)I have tried updating drivers, stress tested each hardware compoment separately including RAM, CPU and GPU, installed it clean, run in safe mode, deleted 3rd party plugins, uninstalled RAM modules one by one, ran without GPU, updated BIOS, checked Event Logs, analized dump files, used driver verifier, tried basically all solutions found online without a result. I am working on this with the support of ChatGPT for weeks without any s

So I reset my PC a few weeks ago and I freshly installed AE as well as my other softwares. Now while working AE randomly just runs out of memory and black screens my monitor for a few seconds, then gives me the whole error message shtick. I'm literally working with simple text layers and shape layers. No heavy VFX (although this shouldn't happen with that either). Changing the amount of memory AE can use in the settings doesn't help anything, nor does setting the AfterFX.exe task in task managers' priority to Low, as I intitally thought was helping. I'm running 32 GB RAM, 5800x3D, 3060 ti. What could i do to fix this?

Hello, I installed the sapphire plug in, and it works, but it has a big red X in the middle of the screen. If someone can explain to me how to remove the big X, I'd really appreciate it. I should also add, I downloaded the plug in from, BorisFX.

Quero salvar um projeto no after effects, mas ele fala que não existe o arquivo, por exemplo, tenho um projeto chamado, legal, quando tento salvá-lo em .aep, fala que o arquivo do projeto não existe, mesmo sendo um projeto recem criado ele não salva nem em salvar como. Como faço para corrigir isso? Estou com a versão 24.6.1

Hello all. I have a puzzle and could use an idea.i have a composition with thousands (almost 7000) of small circles - each its own layer. the design intent is to create a twinkle effect using each circle as a single pixel. I am trying to treat each circle as a single pixel and change the opacity based upon a single pixel in a second composition. I am currently using an expression to find the axis pixel of the circle and locate the brightness of a corresponding pixel in the second composition, and then set the opacity of the circle layer in the main composition.Also my comp is 8000x4000. All of this is needed for an elaborate video production event - the circles map to exact pixels on a video display and cannot move.  this is getting unweildy. so many layers starts bogging down the powerful mac that i have. Also, now if i want to go back and edit the expression, Id have to do it thousands of times. - Is there a way to have a global 'function' or expression and then be abl

Hey guys,I have a strange case where several extendscript methods are missing on my main computer, where they are present in my beta installation, or on fresh installations on other computers. I can't explain the difference in possibilities. Any help is much appreciated.What i've tried so far:Uninstall / reinstall every adobe appUninstall / reinstall every adobe app with the adobe cleaner tool. The difference can be seen when alerting a reflect of an array:var myArr = [];alert("reflect\r"+myArr.reflect.methods.join(","));This results in the following alert in my main pc:But this one on all other pcs/installations i've tried so far, including beta on my own main pc:Notice the methods at the end: indexof, filter and map.Any explanation would be most welcome. A potential fix would be perfect!Thanks guys!

I can't find a solid answer as to why my effects and plugins become unusable and can't interact with the window at all. I'll start off with saying I thought it was an imported plugin issue, but it's even happened with a fresh install with no imported plug ins. Reverted to a previous version, same issue. I keep having this issue off and on.  It's not matter of not being able to handle applying them.The only way to fix it is to completely start a new project and hope it works.Everything is up to date. Is this a bug I'm missing that's been reported or is there a simple solution I'm missing? 

Hello! I tracked a clip that was unobscured counter on a machine. The frame size and frame rate are the same. I track and adjust the track in Mocha, then export the tracking data to a comp that will be lying above it to cover something up. The data exports as a way longer duration than the original clip. Could I have any insights about what's happening? Tracks 73 and 74 on the screenshot. I'm not the most experienced with Mocha so I hope I'm just doing something wrong and this is not a wonky weird thing that's happening only to me. Thank you so much!

I am about to rig a character that will benefit from using curved bone tools, along with the standard rigid, straight bones that you can use in AE natively.  Think something that bends in a curve, like a hose, or shoelace. Is there something in AE that can grant that? Is there a filter that can have a somewhat similar effects? Or would I need to use a plugin? If so, what plugin would you suggest for this? I work on Windows 11 with a version of AE that is one version behind the latest one.

The latest AE  OCIO color management it is not embedding the color profile on render. So every precomp that is reimported is not being interpreted correctly and when I give comps to the client, it looks wrong in their native package ( Nuke ).  I see the option to  "embed profile" but it is grayed out.

I have a project that uses my plugin and I want to debug it when it is loaded/ran by AE Render Queue or Adobe Media Encoder. I have some breakpoint positioned in Xcode, when I use the plugin in After Effects, the breakpoint are trigerred.  If I "Composition | Add to Render Queue" in After Effects and click Render, rendering happens but my breakpoints are not triggered. Same behavior when using Adobe Media Encoder (AME). So I suspect, that AE and AME are using some kind of subprocess to do the rendering ? Thanks in advance

Font style shows up as font family. How can it be show in font style instead of in the font families.Thanks in advance!

Hey! I have a character I rigged for animation I made in Photoshop, he has several layers to him. I go to import him into After Effects, via composition and it's coming up only as a flat composition!
