After Effects

I am trying to convert a fisheye video to equirectangular using VR Converter, but when I set my options it seems to half the size of the output? I am more familiar with premier pro, and when performing a similar operation using the EOS R5 VR plugin, the size of the output remains the same as the input, so I didn't think 50% of the scale should be lost during this operation - is there something simple I'm overlooking? The Left fisheye lens video is 4122x4336 originally and after VR converter is exported at 4122x2056 (but with half of the 4122 as a black border - so in other words, essentially 2056x2056).  I can fake it back to the right level by scaling it by 200% but I'm presuming that will have lost some quality because it's still a 2056x2056 image that has just been scaled 200%? If I remove VR converter it does take up the whole canvas:I don't understand why it's adding a border and reducing the size 50%! Thanks for any help!

hi there. a couple months ago I started to have trouble importing PSD into AE. It crashes 100% of the time.It just works with AE 21. It crashes with 22, 23 and 24. I've been working this way since always but in the last months it went this crazy.I know there's some old issues about this but it seems Adobe didnt get this done yet.I tried to strip down some layers but but it seems a deeper problem.Any thoughts on this?cheersMy system specs down below: 

Hi, I'm running into an issue with After Effects trying to render with GPU acceleration on, but it errors on one particular transition frame. It gives me the following error: "GPU Effects ErrorAfter effects is unable to render GPU-enabled effects on this frame becuae the GPU frame size has exceeded the 4GB internal limit." I have a GeForce RTX 3090 and it says I have 24, 576MB of dedicated Video Memory. Is this a program restriction or is there a setting I need to adjust to make use of the full VRAM? AE Version 24.0.3Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2, OS build 22631.2715

 after every crash, this warning would show and I can't start the program again.

I'm trying to open a new Cinema 4d lite project within after effects and keep getting an Internal error. Internal Error: String Resource not found! The resource directory seems to be corrupt or missing.Note: I have never opened up Cinema 4d lite in the past... This is my first time trying to use Cinema 4d lite within After Effects.I have updated After Effects to ver. 14.1.0.57. Thought the update would help, but still getting the error.  If anybody has any ideas. Thanks!

so Im currently trying to edit a video and I need to hear my microphone audio in order to time stuff properly. however i cant hear my microphone in after effects.I can hear the gameplay perfectly fine and my microphone audio is able to be heard in preimere proIve already gone through many tutorials on how to fix the issue but none have worked so farI use NVIDIA Shadowplay to record my audio and I have two seperate tracks in order to adjust my microphone audio independently of the gameplay being recordedI believe that could be the issue but im not sure.the audio track doesnt have any waveform at all and the file is visibile in effect just not able to be heardI am using adobe effects version 2024

This is an ongoing issue that I'm surprised hasn't been raised before: I have a nested composition with a time remap.If I use "Open Layer" I'm taken to the correct timecode in the "Layer" window.However, if I use "Open Layer Source" I'm taken to a completely different timecode in the source "Composition" window, and the playback head in the composition with the nest is teleported to a new unrelated position if I check back.Additionally, if I have the two timeline windows open at the same time, moving the playback head in one results in a similar mismatched point in the other. 

Hello Team Adobe,I’m currently encountering a glitch related to polar coordinates in my project.The deformation appears ok until the junction of the left and right ends.However, I’m facing an unusual repetition issue with the left end, which is affecting the overall output.I have attached a screenshot for your reference.In the nested composition, the teal line is positioned at the bottom, the fuchsia represents the right end, and the green line signifies the left end. The problem arises when the green and fuchsia lines meet with Polar Coordinates activated. In the screen shot the Fuschia and green meet at the right place. But approximately the first 7 or 8 pixels of the nested comp are being duplicated, disrupting the seamlessness of the dome image.I’m reaching out in the hope that you can provide a quick solution to this matter.Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.Best regards,

I went back to an "old" project to gather some ideas for another one and there's a really nice text preset that was applied that I'm unable to remember the name of ; I've tried lots of presets to find it again since I found it kind of randomly in the first place and not one was the one I want. The name of the effect is also not in the Effects Panel, there's only 3 different selectors 2 of which are "Fast Box Blur" and "Solid Composite".Does anyone know to which preset it might relate ? 

Hello, i will be thankful if you can help me with this question. Can i export AE projects on the same drive that my OS, programs(PS, Ai, AE) and AE caches are? One  partition for OS and programs and  another one for AE caches and exports?I know for the best performance i should provide each a separate drive but currently i have a 1TB Nvme internal SSD and a 1TB external HDD which i use it for input media.Could you please help me how to manage these.My system configuration is 16GB Ram, 1TB Nvme SSD, RTX 4060, Intel Core i7-14650HX 

hello, does anyone knows how to fix after effects error like this. i can text you more detailed if you can help 

This is an issue I've never come across before, but for the last couple of days, After Effects renders the first file in the render queue fine as normal... but the render queue window is not showing this. It essentially freezes for long periods of time without refreshing. I can tell from windows that the first file is rendering, and when that file is finished it's encoded fine, but the whole 'current render', 'elapsed', 'remaining', and so on, along with the status at the bottom of the render queue is frozen, often for minutes (or even tens of minutes) at a time. It then just freezes totally after finishing the first file. It doesn't start rendering any of the other files, and AE just freezes from that point on. Latest Version (24.1), running on Windows 10.

Hello forum. I cannot drag and dtop the composition in my timeline. I have the selection tool selected.   thank you.

@Mathias Moehl Is there a way to toggle audio/video Track Lock in Premiere Pro with Mamoworld Automation Blocks (aescript plugin)?@Bruce Bullis Is there a way to toggle audio/video Track Lock in Premiere Pro, with Extendscript API (or QE DOM) ?

I'm trying to use After Effects to remove some text from a video. When I try to use Content Aware Fill, clicking create reference frame opens Photoshop 2022, even though I have '24 installed. Can I somehow create the frame in 24 and tell After Effects to use it (like exporting it as a .png or something)? For some reason, I cannot for the life of me get it to open in '24 and I'd like to use that because of the more advanced tools, but it just won't open. 

OBJ files import as geometry in the beta version, but neither materials nor texture maps seem to work; models are gray. Both mtllib and usemtl are silently ignored; usemap causes the OBJ file to be rejected at import with an error.

I'm on AE 24.0.2 right now, but I've been having this issue ever since I got my M2 Pro Mac Mini (including on AE v22 and 23).The first time I preview a comp, it will play like butter.But then if I make a change and try to preview it again, it will only preview a tiny bit and then give up.I've set memory reserved for other applications to the minimum (3GB) and max cache to 300GB (on a dedicated internal SSD for cache).I've seen other Apple Silicon users make similar complaints on this forum, but no solution that works for me (usually just people telling them to update to a newer version of AE).Any suggestions? Or is this just a bug for Silicon users?

This has caught me out a couple of times this job. Imported frame sequences are set to ACES2065-1 but somehow switch to the working color space (ACEScg). Haven't tracked close enough to see what circumstances cause this. The clips' color space are set manually, but the working color space was changed a few times.

Does anyone know the problem that After Effects renders the content correctly in the H.264 preview but then the result freezes in the middle of the clip when watching and still continues to play the clip? No error is displayed. Thank you

I'm working in 24.0.3 (Build 2) and have to disable the effect for it to open the project. The project was effect and project were both running a couple days ago.What changed? Can you provide a previous version if it has changed?

My edit has been freezing on one frame toward the end of the first transition, has anyone had a similar issue and if so, how did you fix it? I tried downscaling the rendering resolution. I can't increase the amount of RAM to process the frames during rendering. I am using the latest After Effects and it says on Creative Cloud that it is up to date.  My specs:Cpu-13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F 2.10 GHzGPU-Nvidia RTx 4060ti 8gb vramRam- 48 GB 6000mhz T Force ddr5 ramOperating system-Windows 11 homeMotherboard-ASUS ProArt Z790-CREATOR WIFI DDR5 ATX w/ Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5GbT + 10GbT Dual LAN, (3)PCIe x16, (4)M.2, (8)SATA, TB4

I  know when you have multi-frame rendering allowed there should also be a green bar indicating the frames that are rendering at the same time, But it's not working for me, as you can see it also says that there is only one frame rendering at a time. It appears to work on preview, info pannel says 2-5 frames are rendering at the same time, but not when exporting, am I doing something wrong?

This is extremely frustrating because I was JUST using the track camera just fine and then today I go back to the layer to grab another track point for something else in a different area of the same clip......the tracking was gone, so had to redo it. Problem is, it doesn't want to.  I've gotten 987287267842 error report pop ups trying to simply use track camera.  It either doesn't want to initialize, which has been an on going issue since before 2017 from what I've seen in extensively long report lists and no correct fixes. Or it finally initilizes after 10 tries and restarts, then gives me "3D Camera Tracker: Layer size must match Composition and use default transform values" Well great thing is.....I'm already doing that, that annoying thing is....After Effects doesn't care and is just throwing up random errors. I've tried to start over and re pre compose everything and try again and still does this. There literally is nothing mismatching.  It

Hi there, I'm having a tough time completing a project because After Effects is completely broken for me. The footage I'm using keeps going black, jumping around to random frames, changing the orientation of the footage, and muting the audio. I've restarted the computer, cleared my cache, turned off hardware acceleration decoding, and done a fresh install of the latest After Effects. I've tried transcoding my footage file to a different format to make sure that it's not to blame. I've tried proxies, I've converted the video to just audio to try to get around the muting issues and it nothing helps. The preview of the audio track on the timeline has huge random gaps in it for absolutely no reason.After Effects 2024 v24.1.0 (Build 78)Windows 10It's a super simple project with background footage + a layed comp on top of it. The comp doesn't seem to be affected by these issues, just the video footage. I've tried mp4, mov and AVI. This is very frustrating because I literally can't
