After Effects

Take a look at this image and tell me what's going on. I have 2 shape layers, one's just a path with a stroke, the other is a square. I'm using Classic 3D and when I enable 3D on the shape layers they no longer align with their outlines.   I am using a camera, here are the camera settings. When I change the view from Active Camera to Front then the shapes align with their outlines again so I think it has something to do with the camera. I don't think this should ever happen regardless of the camera settings but here we are. How do I fix it so I can use a camera (not the front view) and get an acurate representation of my shapes position visually and with the outline?  

1)I'm on a mac, and sometimes when you click off the program, the entire program window hides. This is very frustrating as I am often dragging assets into the program or wish to have another program up at the same time, like a PDF storyboard for example. This bug has been around for at least 5 years. 2)Talking about hiding, I can't get the program to hide half the time. The icon in the dock starts bouncing when I try, but the program needs zero attention. I'm literally in the program already, but then I need to go to the dock to get it to stop bouncing and from freezing me out of the program.

AE has been giving me errors that it couldn't access cache files on render and I find now that Microsoft Defender is identifying the files as a Worm and deleting them. Is this a Defender error? Or do I have some known infection? Windows 11 Home v21H2AE 24.2.1

I've been experiencing an issue where any time I import graphics into premiere from after effects, severe aliasing will occur. The graphics (usually animated lower thirds in my case) will look fine on export, and they'll look fine when I initially bring them into my timeline, but if I save, close, and reopen the premiere project at all, they'll get chewed up. I end up having to re-export all of my graphics from after effects to fix it every time I reopen and close the premiere file, which obviously doesn't work for me. I'm including a before and after here:  This also happens if I downsize my graphics at all.  I'm up to date running version 24.2.1 for AE and Premiere. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and this has been an issue since before the previous update. Exporting to quicktime MOV, formatting that's always worked for me before. And again, the graphics look completely fine at first export, so while formatting could be causing the bug, I don't think the init

This issue has only happened to me recently. I don't think it began until around the last 2 weeks. I've been using the latest version of After Effects. My mouse button disappears from my screen when I hover over buttons in After Effects. It's only the buttons that change what the mouse cursor looks like (for example, the ones that change it from a triangle to a pointer finger, or the ones that change it into the double-sided arrow for expanding panels). I tried recording it in OBS, but the mouse is visible in the recordings. It's just not visible from my perspective, which makes it impossible to use certain features in After Effects. I need to see my mouse cursor. I use a Windows 11 desktop computer. I tried all the obvious troubleshooting. I got all my drivers uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated. I reverted to an old version of After Effects, and my mouse button is disappearing there too. It's only in After Effects, not other apps. I unplugged my mouse, plugged it back in. I uninsta

There seems to be a big issue with multi frame rendering when working on larger projects and files.My system specs:Ryzen 7950x64GB ddr5 ramRTX 40903x NVME ssds (one dedicated to AE cache)Windows 11 latest updatesAE version 23.3.0 (Build 53)I have a 6K comp project that I need to render. If multi frame rendering is enabled, AE will eat basically 99% of 64gb ram even though I have it set to reserve 16gb for other applications. And I have it set to reserve 10% of CPU.When I hit render I see the blue dashed bar spinning, preparing for render. I have task manager open and all I see is ram usage going to 99%, with AE using +50gb of ram (max should be ~45gb). The render hasn't even started yet and after a while the ram usage drops down and AE crashes without any error. Nothing else is running in the background and pretty much System is the next process that uses ~600mb of ram.I have attached the last crash file (all are the same) and the weirdest thing is it says that it's related to Nvidia d

Ich benutze seit kurzem After Effects und wollte mit der slowmotion als nächsten Schritt fortfahren. Sobald ich jedoch entweder ohne oder mit Plugins versuche zu bearbeiten, hängt sich After Effects und danach auch mein MacBook auf. Ich habe ein MacBook Pro 2019 ", dass alle Anforderungen von After Effects erfüllt. Kommt jemand dieses Problem bekannt vor bzw. kann mir jemand helfen ?  Danke im Voraus!!!

if i import a 4k quality clip (3840/2160) to after effects then only the audio is imported and not the quality video what should i do

I have a 30-minute mp4 video that I shot with OBS, I throw it into the media encoder without applying any effects etc. and the size becomes 3 GB.What is the reason of this?- Please don't say lower the video bitrate.

 For AE 2024 last update , Win 11 I Couldn't export this comp 

I have been facing an issue with not only AE but Adobe stoftware in general where some days it suddenly decides to eat all of my Laptop's RAM without causing any problems, while others, it slows down everything. I dont know why this isn't happening all the time- sometimes a restart or a few fix the problem, while other times they don't. I have cleaned the Disk-Cache a few times as well, which also doesn't always help though. Just today I have been trouble shooting for the majority of the time, until, after one longer shut-down, AE ran smoothly again. Admittedly, there is reason to spuspect that this could be an issue with the PC as a whole; but since I mostly use Adobe/AE software while using it, sometimes having the entire laptop crash, I thought I'd ask here first. Also, all drivers (CPU & GPU) are on their latest version. Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

While rendering an image sequence from After Effect, there is no "Write ACES compliant EXR" like we have in nuke. The embed colour profile option from After Effect doesn't seem to have much effect. Even importing that footage back to After Effect, the media colour profile shows as none (using OCIO, not adobe color management). We have had a request from clients to provide image sequences in ACES for them to grade. While the output was definitely in ACES, the metadata had no information about it, so when they would bring it in the grading software it would return an error, allegedly. To get that metadata, we would then take that image sequence, process it through Nuke (read/write) with the "Write ACES compliant EXR" setting on. Is there a way to embed the colorspace in the metadata? If not can Adobe fix this please?

Cada vez que abro After Effects (no importa la versión), la vista de la composición se congela. Todo el resto de la interfaz sigue funcionando, incluso puedo manejar los elementos que están en la vista, pero no los puedo ver porque la vista se congeló en el último fotograma visto y ahí quedó. Vi que esto le sucedió a varias personas, he usado GPUs menos potentes y no he tenido ningun problema, así que no creo que el problema venga por recursos de mi pc. Veo que es un caso que le ha pasado a bastante gente y aún no han tenido solución. Alguien me puede ayudar con esto? Gracias!

Hallo Communitiy,seit gestern bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung "Mercury 3D wird von der aktuellen Hardware nicht unterstüzt." wenn ich AfterEffects (23.6.3) öffne. Zudem wird meine Grafikarte (Geforce GTX1060) in den GPU-Einstellungen nicht mehr erkannt.Wenn ich AfterEffects als Administrator öffne, kommt die Fehlermeldung nicht und die Grafikkarte wird wie immer richtig erkannt. Diese Bugginess nervt einfach nur noch. Weiß jemand, wie ich die Fehlermeldung wieder weg bekomme? Vielen lieben Dank schon mal.   

Bonjour,Je n'arrive plus à démarrer After Effects 2024. J'ai la version 24.2.1  d'After affects qui m'affiche le message suivant lorsque j'essaie de l'ouvrir:  Nous avons détecté un crash lors de votre dernière session. Les crashs peuvent potentiellement être causés par des plug-ins défectueux ou des préférences corrompues. Nous vous recommandons de démarrer une session en mode échec afin de diagnostiquer le problème.

Tenho sofrido com o desempenho do preview do After Effects.Atualmente utilizo um PC novo, com 32 gb de Ram e 8gb da Placa de Vídeo, com configurações recentes e avançadas. Gostaria de saber se existe alguma indicação da Adobe para otimizar esse desempenho?No caso o que ocorre muito é lag no preview ou então algum bug na visualização, de forma que não consigo visualizar.   Por ser um equipamento novo, considero que a questão é realmente o software, visto que o computador atende a todos requisitos que são os indicados para os softwares da Creative Cloud.   Title edited by Mod.

I've created this Gradient Controller https://youtu.be/1UaZNcVobhg?si=c_kJ0Y9vpdnM4kEG but I need to change and apply that expression to 3D shape layers that form the grid (everything same as in the tutorial, only change is that the layer is supposed to be 3D, not 2D). I need to turn on Collapse Transformations on that precomped grid and work with it as a background in the animation where I animate in 3D space, meaning I need those shape layers to be sharp even if I get close to the grid with the 3D camera. I have already checked all those few threads speaking about this problem but I can't get nothing of it to get to work. Every help would be highly appreciated, thank you very, very much in advance

Hello!I would like to create a UI button that, when clicked, remains pressed, and when clicked again, returns to normal, the same way the BOLD button works, for example.Is it possible?I know how to make a button (icon and text).

I have been trying for the last few days to use Mocha Pro to mesh track this back and nothing seems to work.I have tried to follow the advice of the offical Mocha reddit account and It still doesn't work the mesh always goes way off of the surface I am trying to track. https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/926485478Everytime I try to track the back it messes up like this.  

Hello, I have tried everything to try to remove the black mask behind the moving subject.  The shot seems static, but it is handheld so it is moving slightly.  I need to complete this edit immediately, would really appreciate if someone could help. Thanks. 

Hi everyone, I'm fetching data from database with curl (system.callSystem), and data encoding is UTF-8. When I fetch data it returns wrong data. For example, correct should be: 'Aïn Beïda' but it returns 'Aïn Beïda'. I tried fetching same exact command in terminal and the encoding is correct, seems like extendscript is doing something weird. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, Everytime I draw a new stroke it comes with zero opacity and then I have to manually set it to 100 from the properties. I am so upset. Please help me. am using Ae 2024.

I have a sequence with an iPad model created in Cineware that is taking over 80 hours to render. This also causes the program to slow tremendously when playing the sequence. Not sure what I can do to fix this.My system specs are: 32gb ram rtx 3090AMD Ryzen 7 5800xOn a side note I had to roll back to version 24.1 to use Cineware.

How do I change the color of text once I've added fractal noise to the text?

I have been working on quite a few drone videos, cutting up the clips in Premiere and bringing them into After Effects. I will drag the 3D Camera Tracking effect onto the video and it will analize just fine. When I select a triangle and click add text it looks good untill I hit play. The text does not anchor to the ground like it should. This only happens on some and not others even though I am doing everything the same way.
