After Effects

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! I have checked and it is RGB not CYMK and have been googling for hours and can't figure it out, please help, attached below are some photos to show what I'm talking about the characters photoshop layerswhat I see when I import into After Effects

I have a project that I will be exporting to a MOGRT and will be adding a CSV to the EG panel so users can switch it out. I need to set it up intitally with the maximum number of rows and columns from the CSV file, but am experiencing some issues. I can successfully add any CSV file to the project and to the comp. However, when I add certain CSVs to the EG panel (from the comp > Data properties) After Effects crashes. For example, CSVs with 10 rows and 15 columns work, although it takes a little while for AE to parse all the data. A CSV with 24 rows and 25 columns crashes. AE freezes while it appears to be parsing but then the Windows waiting spinning blue circle appears. I've left it for a good ten minutes but it never recovers. So, is there a limit to the amount of rows and columns AE can parse in a CSV when you add it to the EG panel?

Hello, Got a challenge if anyone can help. I don't know anything about After Effects, I mean zero, but have recently been learning through tuts. I want to create a looping animation for four arrows for the logo design I created. It is for a HVAC company and the concept is circulating air in a rectangle shape with rounded corners. (Design attached). I have found a couple tuts that kinda do what I want but not really, all involving trim paths. I just don't think trim paths is the way to go. Probably wrong. In the first video, at 6:44, was promising but the arrrow contorts when it rounds the corners of the rectangle on my logo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=748l7DIU4bQ In the second video, this guy has just the arrow head doing what I want it to do. It involves a shape on a path. I tried creating an arrow shape like in my logo but it does not flow with the path correctly like it does with trim paths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofwHRvKuwqo&t=194s &n

Hallo, folgendes Problem:Ich habe in Adobe Illustrator Vektoren gezeichnet/erstellt, diese dann in After Effects hochgeladen und animiert und dann das Video mit der Vorgehensweise gespeichert: Komposition-> Zu Adobe Media Encorder.. hinzufügen -> als H264 (Mp4) herunterladen. Meine Komposition hatte die Einstellung 1920x1080p mit 30 fps gehabt , nachdem ersten Download war ich mit der Qualität unzufrieden und ich habe es sogar mit 4K und 30/60 fps getestet, aber leider ist die Mp4 Datei/das Video nach dem Speichern trotzdem nicht scharf genug, obwohl die Qualität des Video sin meiner Komposition schon echt scharf und gut ist. Wie soll ich mein Video sonst speichern?

Wenn ich mit dem Roto-Pinsel-Werkzeug in einem Frame etwas bearbeite, rendert es dies auf alle nachfolgenden Frames auch drauf. So macht es aber auch fortschritte wieder kaputt, die ich zuvor gemacht habe. Kann ich diese Funktion ausschalten, sodass das Werkzeug bei Benutzung nurnoch diesen einen Frame verändert und nicht alles darauf folgende?

I get this error when launching AE: After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <24820> <DynamicLink> <5> Increase wait time to 2 The program previously worked just yesterday but today I can't even open it. The application crashes before I even have an option to "Reset Preferences" or "Start in Safe Mode." I have uninstalled and re-installed, restarted computer, and updated GPU drivers, but to no avail. Also updated all other Adobe apps, including the CC app. Tried running previous version of AE (23.6.9) and it doesn't work either.Trying to upload the crash report but this site doesn't support the file format that AE generates, kind of ironic... uploaded a screenshot of what I could, and can provide it if needed for further investigation.PC specs:OS Windows 10 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5960X CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor GPU NVIDIA RTX2080Ti

Hi, I'm trying to use text with ligatures in After Effects, but it doesn't work. I have checked the box that says "Ligatures" in the Character Panel. I'm using the font FFF Acid Grotesk, that shows ligatures when used in Photoshop and other software. Copying + pasting the glyph from Photoshop into AE does not work. Any ideas? AE version 23.0 (Build 59)macOS Ventura 13.2.1
