After Effects

I just accidently deleted a photoshop layer file from my project panel and it instantly broke multiple of the comps that it was used in. Would really appreciate if anyone can help me figure out how to recover or replace it?

I can't use shortcuts to create composition markers after update program Shift + a number key (0-9) not working. Please help me

Hello, I have a video looped with time remaping, for some reason when seeing it at "Full" the image flips and changes the color, when seeing it at "Half" or lower this doesnt show, the original video is not like that. I realized the time remap keyframe with Easy Ease causes this, I changed the curvature in graph editor and it was solved At full: Half or lower (Displayed as should be) Solved with graph editor at Full:  There are certain zones where the problem happens  Version 24.1.O (Build 78)Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHzInstalled RAM 16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable)Device ID B207FB64-C1B6-472B-B88F-6BC6166FE5F9Product ID 00325-82259-78333-AAOEMSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorPen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points Edition Windows 11 HomeVersion 22H2Installed on ‎10/‎14/‎2023OS build 22621.3007Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22681.1000.0  

1. Each time I open a premiere project with imported After Effects sequences, the link gets broken and needs to be reconnected. Often this only works when both AE and Media encoder are open.2. Exporting to frame.io from Premiere with an imported AE sequence breaks the link and becomes "Media not found." Lovely.3. Exporting from AE to Media Encoder DOES NOT WORK. I am forced to use "Render Que". 4. Exporting from AE to Render Que defaults to Quicktime with Pro Ress 422 that does not have an alpha channel, forcing me to select a different option and THEN go back to Quicktime with appropriate "Animation" output. Except this produces a .mov that is UNPLAYABLE inside quicktime. These are seriously GROWING issues with Adobe. The workarounds to these bugs are making me use the products less and less and instead search for other solutions. Hope this gets fixed with all many updates I'm forced to do and update my projects along with it. When will you focus on the experience?

The rotobrush edge moves when literally NOTHING has changed.  I'm doing some roto of 3d character from a TV show for work, and there's a lot of animating on twos - so there are a lot of frames that are literally identical, yet the rotobrush moves when nothing else does.  Why?  If there's no change from one frame to another why doesn't the rotobrush stay the same?

In version 23, the function in presets related to text animation works correctly, and in version 24, here’s the story - watch the video. In short, it's an obvious update bug. This is the case - this is more of a request to the support

I don't really know how to explain this .i made 2 video of differnt AE version AE- 2022AE-2024 In AE 2022. the preset was working fine . without any issue .BUTIn AE 2024. the preset is not applying. This happens to preset containing postiton value.when you try to apply the preset by separate dimensions [sparate X and Y] its works.but if you try to apply the preset without separate dimensions [ X and Y] the preset doesn't work. 

Hi,I noticed a bug recently working with AE 2022, wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this: the rendering engine seems to not properly delete frames that were changed afterwards. It even leaves those error frames in the final render if I don't purge all the caches multiple times. I am working on a complex project with lots of versions and lots of layers, but this has never been a problem before. Is anyone else encountering this problem?

Cryptomattes used in multi-layer comps are extremely slow to render. This has been the case for all recent versions of AE and on all platforms. For example, in a recent project, a comp with live cryptomattes took 12 hours to render.  With the cryptomattes prerendered to ProRes files, it took 20 minutes to render.  Working with the crypotmattes in a preview situation doesn't seem to be nearly as slow.  This mainly effects final rendering in both the Render Queue and Media Encoder. Something is obviously wrong here! Please read more about this in this community discussion:https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/exr-cryptomattes-unusable/m-p/14129157 As is, After Effects is a poor solution for 3D compositing.  Fixing this one issue would make a tremendous difference in our pipeline.  Thank you for your attention to this.

I'm very appreciative of the fact that adobe knows that when I hit warp stabilize or camera solve in after effects, that 80% of the time I'm just kidding. I didn't really want it to work, so it's always great when I get AE saying "hey there! how about a dynamic link error?" to which I respond "but I'm not using anything dynamically linked? so what else does that mean?" to which AE always responds "haha, we're not going to give you any information, what do you think I am, an industry standard program?" Of course that's only 80%, about 5% of the time it gets creative and just decides to stop processing frames halfway through. That leaves the other 15% of the time, where a tree just falls on my house to aleviate me from having to see whether dynamic link gave me an error or not.    Seriously, years of this, at least give me a hint every once in a while - we could settle on every 3rd error?

Steps to reproduce:    I'm following all of the steps to use Content-Aware Fill and it is not working. I am trying to remove Bob and only show the background. The only thing that happens is the tool creates a lighter Bob on top. I know the screenshot shows it is still rendering, but the results are the same as in the screenshot.  System info    Application: After Effects v24.1.0.78    OS: macOS v14.2.1, RAM: 16.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10

Hola, Tengo varias composiciones que utilicé para crear fuego y después sobre ponerlo en un video que esta en 8K. Cuando previsualizo mi composición final, puedo ver todo correctamente. Hice un render en H264 y todo se veía bien pero después intenté hacer otro render en ProRes 422 y la animación del fuego se queda congelada en la parte final del video. Intenté renderizar con otros Codecs y sucede lo mismo incluso intenté nuevamente con un H264 y ahora también se quedó congelada la animación en la misma parte. He intentado renderizar directamente en After Effects y en Media Encoder pero en niguno renderiza correctamente. Igual ya intenté renderizar con el CPU en vez del GPU pero no he tenido éxito tampoco. A la hora de renderizar no me marca ningún tipo de error. Alguien ha tenido este problema? Sabrán a que se debe?  Información sobre el computador: Nombre del SO Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for WorkstationsTipo de sistema x64-based PCProcesador Intel(R) Xeon(R) CP

I've been trying to fix this for hours but I just can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do. I can scroll through the preview fine, but if I press play it is delayed for like 10 minutes or even more every time, even when all the cached frames are green (which should indicate that they're already prerendered) and I basically can't edit anything because I can't play it back. This is on 1080p footage with no effects. I have an i7 and an rtx 4060 with 32gb of ram so I feel like this shouldnt be a problem for me and I'm not really sure what to do. Right now I'm just trying rolling back after effects to the previous versoin (I am on 2024 but there was an update a few days ago and that's when my problems began). 

hello, I have a problem when using the after effects application or the premiere pro application, sometimes my mouse cursor disappears. This makes it difficult for me to use the application. how to handle it

Using the 3D camera tool. Once I've placed my layers (photos) on the timeline and ensured they're all checked for 3D, I then switch to a 2 view . My "active camera" view seems to be fine. However the second view (especially the "Top View") nothing shows but a black box screen and sometimes a red line. None of the layers or the camera show up. Even when I select the individual layers.

I've set up an Output Module with the "Output To:" using tokens to a relative path from the project folder: [projectFolder]\..\Output\[compName].[fileextension] Expected behavior would be to submit to the Render Queue and it goes to the specified path. Actual Behavior:Open AE, send comp to Render queue, File Path is "Not Yet Specified"If I submit the same comp again immediately "Not Yet Specified" If I select a filepath ANYWHERE, desktop, network drive, doesn't matter, just open the dialog and click save.Submit the comp again to the render queue. Output To filepath is correct relative to project folder. Closing the project and reopening, submit comp to Render Queue. File Path is correct.Close the Application and reopen. submit comp to Render Queue. File Path reverts to "Not Yet Specified" In Preferences -> Output "Use Default File Name and Folder" is checked AE version 24.1.0 (Build 78)Microsoft Windows 10 ProVersion 10.0.19045 Build 19045

I'm not sure if anyone else has found this, but ever since adobe 2024 has dropped the rotobrush tool has just become useless, it's ability to recognise consistencies within footage is completely shot, even masking stuff with blatant contrast from its backdrop has become a challenge. I then changed the tool back to rotobrush 2 in its settings and bang, back to the good old days of relatively intuitive masking, just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a universal issue 

Hey!I'm working on an After Effects script that involves two main functions, Step 2 and Step 2.5, which I'm trying to merge. Individually, they work as intended, but integration has hit a snag, especially concerning properties with separated dimensions.Step 2 (Universal Keyframe Detection & Expression Application): This part duplicates a layer and aims to apply a placeholder expression to any property with keyframes. However, it struggles specifically with properties that have separated dimensions (like "Position" into "X Position" and "Y Position"), not applying expressions as needed.Step 2.5 (Handling Separated Dimensions and Orientation): Focused on properties with separated dimensions, this script part effectively duplicates a layer, clears keyframes, and applies expressions for separated dimensions and the "Orientation" property on 3D layers.Challenge: The main issue arises when trying to integrate Step 2's broad keyframe handling with Step 2.5's specialized approach for separ

Hello,I have a brand new IMAC, have just clean installed After Effects. It Crashes before even opening.It mentions preferences - but this doesn't mean much to me, i'm afraid. somebody please help

Bonjour la communauté , Je souhaite ajouter un menu déroulant à un calque (peu importe, forme objet nul ou autre, le résultat est le même). Une fois ce menu créé, je veux renommer les entré et là AFTER plante... Ce qui m'inquiète c'est que voyant que ça ne fonctionnait pas dans mon projet, j'en ai créé un nouveau vide avec un calque tout neuf auquel je colle un menu déroulant et là crash ! le Même... Je downgrade ma version de logiciel : crash ! Je vide le cache, réinitialise les paramètres et les plugins : crash ! Je vais dans la bibliothèque adobe sur mon disque et supprime manuellement les fichiers de préférence : crash !Le message de crash est celui-ci : Je m'en remet à vous car la j'ai épuisé mes compétences.... Ma machine :

Project that had no issue and is reopened a week later shows font as missing (name in square brackets).It requires manually changing the font to the right one.There is only one font of that name installed in Windows / Font folder but After Effects shows it duplicated in Character panel. One working one in square brackets. The problem is AE switched from working one to the one in brackets.It happened before with few other fonts too.This is a serious issue because you can easily render out animation assuming everything is correct because it was checked and saved before, meanwhile the fonts are messed up.

If I am importing any file on After Effects, be it an Illustrator file or a PNG, it is not getting rendered through media encoder but if I am using a soild layer in After effects, Media Encoder is rendering it. Can anyone please help me in figuring out this issue?
