After Effects

I installed after effects for the first time on this computer, but I was met with a initializing mediacore error. After some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to my AMD graphics card drivers (I use a RX 9070 XT and the drivers are up to date). The only fix I have is to disable the drivers, but that’s not optimal.

My PC is not compatible with the newer versions of After Effects because my CPU lacks the AVX2 support. I am also not able to change to older Versions of After Effects in CC. There is only the option to manage the Plugins. Is there a way to install an older version that is compatible with my CPU without using Creative Cloud?CPU: Intel i7 2700k 3.4Ghz

Since yesterday I have been trying to cut a few minutes video clip (H265 lossless) and apply Warp Stabilizer for each layer.And I see that it is too difficult for this program.1. Video offsets constantly appear on some layer - the program is unable to read the correct frame correctly. I thought I was accidentally moving the layer. However, no, it is the program that cannot read frames correctly.2. Warp Stabilizer - seriously, you can't select layers and have wholesale stabilization? Hello?3. Warp Stabilizer - and this won't show Track Points, and this freezes. The stabilization is supposedly complete and the effect is not visible. Restart the program and it starts working.4. Preview using spacebar - 5% CPU, 5% HDD load - and preview can stop. Because yes, and that's it.I've been working since yesterday, but Resolve is a demon of reliability and robustness next to you.

Hi Adobe Community,We are investigating an issue with After Effects aerender on Windows EC2 render workers. The same .aepx project and render command behaves differently across instances: on one instance After Effects crashes during render and produces a corrupt AVI, while on another instance the render completes successfully.I will attach a screenshot of the After Effects crash popup that appeared during the failed render.EnvironmentWe are rendering an After Effects .aepx project using aerender.Project file:    Outside NNL.aepxComposition:    RenderCompRender command:    aerender -project "C:\Users\Administrator\downloads\NNL Surfer 15 July 2025\NNL-Surfer15-July2025\Outside NNL.aepx" -comp "RenderComp" -OMtemplate "AmagiAVI_v3" -RStemplate "Best Settings_v3" -output "C:\Users\Administrator\downloads\NNL Surfer 15 July 2025\NNL-Surfer15-July2025\rendered\NNL-Surfer15-July2025_7d6681b313a82951.avi" -close DO_NOT_SAVE_CHANGES -v ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS -log "C:\Users\Administrator\downloads

I accidentally deleted the application.xml file inside D:\adobe\Adobe After Effects 2026\Support Files\AMT. How can I restore it? 

Hi,  Just opened 23.3 to render some frames as PNGs for a client, it now no longer works. When you click on Composition>Save frame as>File... it no longer takes oyu to the render queue to choose a format. Instead it opens up a "Save As" window where the only option is .psd. If I wanted to save as photoshop layers I would have clicked on photoshop layers option rather than file. Is this a bug or a removal of functionality to make After Effects a worse product? Is there a fix? Or should I just go back to the previous version for now?

i have tried clearing cache, adjusting various settings, frame rates, my own gpu settings, trying it with different clips, different formats, even on solids.ive tried it across multiple versions of after effects and still nothing, turned off opencl(i have an amd gpu obv) and even fresh installed and still NOTHING what could possibly be causing a single frame ghosting glitch when enabling motion blur + scales id also like to state when messing with the motion blur settings, having shutter phase set to 0 does remove this issue however, it is not ideal when set to 0 considering i need smooth motion when doing velocity style editing.picture included belowsaid issue 

clearing cache, changing video format, reinstalling, turning any and everything on and off, changing drivers, updating drivers, trying different versions of AFTER EFFECTS, and the problem still persist.if you’re going to comment on the issue please don’t ask a question, instead give a solution. really tired of seeing a “?” at the end of all your sentences when this has been going on for a full month.SPECSr5 5500, 5700xt, 16gb ddr4 ramI've edited countless things in after effects. motion blur is supposed to blur not repeat the image and scale it bigger/smaller

I'm on PC, Windows 10.I just updated both After Effects (25.2.2) and Adobe Media Encoder (25.2) today.  Before when I added videos from AE to AME, they looked just fine. I usually export as either H.264 match source-high bitrate, or as Quicktime, or AVI, and had no issue with the look or color. Now when I send to the queue, the videos end up looking dark and oversaturated.  My After Effects project settings are usually Rec 709 for the color settings. I've tried setting it to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and none, with the same results when trying to export to AME. When exporting from After Effects, the results look just fine. I'm aware I can export from AE and convert videos in AME, but in my daily work, it's really nice just sending it to the AME queue and having it render in the background while I continue to work on shots in After Effects.  I've searched the forums for this issue, and found similar issues, but not quite what I'm experiencing. Any advice

Using After Effects 25.1. Linking the FontSize to a Slider using the expression: "text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))" But I'm getting an expression error reading: "Error: property or method name 'style' in Class 'TextProperty' is missing or does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved, deleted, or the name may have been mistyped" All of the expressions are still auto suggesting with the Expression Language dropdown menu. As I start typing "style" after "sourceText" it starts to autofill. Why is "style" gone all of a sudden? How is After Effects not being able to reference it even though it's showing up in the dropdown menu?

In After Effects, when using a lower layer as a track matte for an upper layer, if the lower layer is also visible, a stray edge (or matte line) will inevitably appear in the composition.This will significantly cause issues with what I see in the viewport.he green edge in the image below should not be visible. I suspect this may be caused by sub-pixels of the matte not being fully covered by the upper layer.
