After Effects

alright so it's been a while I'm always having this problem: whenever I add a clip to my composition be it 5 minutes or 20 minutes long and preview it it initially starts playing normally but after a while it starts repeating. over and over. no matter where in the timeline I click, I will always see the same scenes of the first 3 minutes, and this is driving me crazy. It shouldn't be a file problem since if I play it with vlc it goes totally normally, so what do you guys think this could be caused from? Thanks a lot

Hi! I'm using Bend It on a text layer, and Grow Bounds isn't working:  What would be the solution?Thank you!Chris.

Hi!This might be more of a Windows question than an Adobe/After Effects one, but I'll give it a shot here just in case: I have a project from a client with Korean file names and references. In After Effects, the file names appear correct and in Korean script, but my main issue right now is that none of the footage is properly linked. I am guessing this has to do with the fact that Windows is not identiying the files correctly and is thus unable to identify files are present that need to be linked. Below is what my files look like in File Explorer and in After Effects: After Effects:  Windows 10:  Any thoughts on how to solve this?Many many thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,I have a little problem. Maybe anybody can help me with that.I created a Graphics Essential Template on After Effects on Mac. After importing it to Premiere on Mac, everybody works perfectly.But when importing it to Premiere on Windows it's not perfectly working. To be specific. In this Graphics Essential Template I simply connected Text scale to a Slider Control. When using it in Premiere Pro for Mac, it is working. When using it in Premiere for Windows, nothing happens at all. I can change the slider's position like I want to ... nothing happens.Is that a bug? If not, what did I do wrong? Thanks for your helpBest regardsMike

Hi, I just want to keep the fill as it it, but want to apply trim path only to affact the stroke. I tried duplicating layers and keep feel on one and stroke on another and then applied trim path on the stroke activated layer  it works nice. But wondering if there is any way I can do it on one shape layer where the fill and stoke both will stay. Thank you. 

I need to show water flow in a river system. Each of the 8 branches would have up to ten arrows following each other. I am not very advanced in After Effects but can animate single arrows. Ideally the arrows might look like this . Can someone help and explain in very easy terms?Many thanks in advance. 

I maximize the composition panel to see my work on fullscreen. I change to the pen tool to draw, composition panel minimizes.I notice it also happens when panning holding the middle mouse button.

Hi all, I'm trying to cut out the bridge to put the footage of Mars behind it. The screenshot below is my attempt using colour keying but its not quite there yet - a few edges still show too much of the original backdrop - and I was wondering if anyone had any other suggests on how to do this better? Cheers

Hello I found a few previous posts regrding this but not found a solution.  I'm posting here with view to finding a solution. In essence the text tool in Ae is very slow and laggy, even with only a couple of layers in the comp.  I have a decent spec Mac pro, decent GPU etc so cant undestand why this is hapeening.  I've cleared cache, reset the prefes, turned it off and on again etc to no avail. Does any one have a fix for this?  

via scripting how to change resolution of composition, while rendering. that is Full, Half, Third, Quater. How to change resolution via scripting.

So my kids and I wanted to create a Star Wars video with lightsabers. We recorded the video, imported in after effects, and then I went frame by frame adding lightsaber effects. It took a a lot of hours to complete. We got all excited when it was complete, and I rendered the movie to h264. When watching it, the audio was not synced and the light sabers were off. After figuring things out, I noticed the composition frame rates for both the footage and the light saber effects are at 29.37 fps. Everything is in sync when playing it in after effects. But after I render it (which looks like it renders to 29.97), everything is off. So I attempted to change the composition frame rates to 29.97 for both footage and lightsaber effects. The audio is synced but the light sabers are still off. Is there a way to get this rendered without needing to go back and do the light sabers all over again?

see? LUT: Nonedowner must be 12+ windows with presets to LUT, but...hes lost somewhere XDi do nothing and have no idea how i can fix that.

Hi I'm using windows 10 w/4090 in AE and i have a 3 monitor setup, main monitor, color calibrated Eizo coloredge and a TV mirroring the eizo. My typically setup is to have both the eizo and tv set to mercury transmit preview.Testing out aces workflow and... it does not let you set the preview output to the same color space as your comp workspace, so the colors look completely wrong. This seems is a pretty major oversight. Are there plans to fix this?  Thanks in advanceRuairi Robinson

Is it possible to edit every detail of an Illustrator file in After Effects? Specifically, I want to apply keyframes to every detail of my Illustrator file, including shape properties, freeform gradients, effects, and more—not just the layers. I would like to be able to edit every property setting and effect in After Effects. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you!

I opened the link https://developer.adobe.com/after-effects/, and click on "Get the SDKs". But there is no respond.I waited for a long time, and there is still nothing.Does anyone can tell what happened?

Hello cows,am new to this forum so i try to be specific as possible to save everbodys time:I have a click sound, that translates into very clear keyframes with values between 10 and 20 at a click and I want to my graphic to be 10px further up everytime a click/keyframe value occursBUTI need the animation to be linear but smooth starting and ending just halfway between the clicks so the next animation can start just in time. The clicks are not unison but vary in clicks per minute.I already triedease(value, 11, 20, 0, 10)smooth(width=0.1, samples=50)smooth goes into the right direction but I cant change it to be precise where i need the animation to start and end and to be at 10 exact at the click.Could somebody please point me into the right direction or am i missing something?THANKS!

I have 2 Animate files that I'm importing into AE. Both files are saved in seperate folders, everything is named correctly and all assets are placed in their correct folders. File A from Animate imports into AE correctly; it makes .swf files, everything animates as it should, it works fine. After Effects refuses to import File B right. Every asset gives a 'File cannot be opened, it may be in an unsupported format (86: 1 )' even though it's in the same format as File A. Dragging the files in directly gives me the same 'File can't be opened' message. It's not an issue of neither works, it's more one does, the other doesn't despite them being nearly identical.  I've renamed the file, moved the folder, resaved the Animate file, restarted my computer, restarted After Effects, I can't figure it out. Other files open, but this one won't. I'm using After Effects 2023 and Animate 2023 on a Macbook Pro, Big Sur 11.7.10.
