After Effects

I have two projects set up as ACES 1.2 in both After Effects 23.6.9 and After Effects 24.6.1. When I import the  same ProRes Apple Log clip into each, I am able to override media color space in 23.6.9, but not 24.6.1. I would like to be able to override media color space in AE 24, but can't figure out why this isn't possible. I have noticed that AE 24 recognizes the media color space as Apple Log/Rec. 2020, but AE 23 doesn't recognize it. Perhaps that's related? I'm using a Mac Studio M2 Ultra, running Sonoma 14.6.1. I've attached a video showing both scenarios. Any advice on how to potentially work around this until it is resolved would be appreciated. Thanks!  

I am unable to adjust highlights properly in After Effects 24.6.1. with a ProRes Raw video file. I am working with a 2019 Mac Pro 3.3Ghz 12 core machine with 96GB Ram on OS 14.5 Sonoma. Note the attached screen captures.  Quicktime player shows all the detail in the highlights, though the look is flat.  In Premiere Pro the video looks hot, but I am able to recover highlights and make the shot look good.  In After Effects, I am unable to bring back the detail in the hightlights.   The reason I am using After Effects is to do some stabilization using motion tracking.  After stabilizing the shot in After Effects, I tried correcting the image, but given how bad the video looks, I can't use it. There are two images attached.  In the layout of the two images, Premiere Pro is in the top left, Quicktime player top right, file properties bottom left, and After Effects bottom right.  One screen capture shows the video corrected in Premiere P

Okay hi. So I've got two computers (both Macs) and I use a hard drive to carry my saved work, presets, transitions, etc from computer to computer. I installed S_BlurMoCurves (sapphire) on one computer and saved everything including the installers on the hard drive. This was a while back though so I can't remember exactly how I did it. I plugged it into the other computer and tried to download/install it there too, but it's not working. I install it, it says it's finished, and then I go into After Effects and I can't find it. Says it's "missing." Do I maybe need to do something with the installed plugin that I'm not? Is there a step missing? I for the life of me cannot remember how I did it last time and it's becoming more of a problem since my other computer is getting slower and crashing more often, so I need to start working more on this one that refuses to run the plugin. Can anyone help? 

Hi!I'm hoping someone can help me with this because it's driving me crazy... I did a really simple logo animation for a client that is to be used on some instructional videos going forward. It works just fine in the precomp and even the original composition that I created it in, but when I add the precomp to any other comp only part of the animation is showing up. Even if I copy all the layers and pasted them directly into the comp it's not working. Any ideas?(In case you need more details, I used the "generate > stroke" effect to have the outline of the letters draw in and then the solid fill fades in using the opacity. The only thing that's working is the fade in).

i tried Setting up the app for the first time and when the app tried to login through google it just keeps looping. i looked for help and it said check if the credentials are there and they arnt and then there was no more information?there are no credentials. so now what? i know the problem are they just going to not fix the problem?

Hi I'm trying to render ACES in C4d. Import into AE. Export in an HDR format I can use on Youtube. Goal is to have Youtube show the same as i see in the Redshift render.I'm almost there, but I can't figure out how to do the last step correctly. This is what I'm doing so far:I render in c4d in ACEScg 32bit openexr.In AE I interpret the rendered footage as "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".I set project settings to:OCIO color managedACES 1.232 bitWorking color space: "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".Display Color Space: "ACES/sRGB". If I now export an mp4 with colorspace set to "Color_picking: sRGB", it renders correctly. But of course not in HDR but 8bit sRGB. But at least it seems like I'm doing something right. My question is: What do I need to do to export this correctly to Youtube as HDR?I have tried to set the display color space to "ACES/Rec.2020 HLG 1000nits" and then render using AME as "Apple Prores 4444 HLG". But the colors became alot darker.I al

Hey there guys, any idea how to get this kinda effect done in AE? I can request some LED lights in the live action footage to use as reference. Can also use C4D, but was just wondering if you guys think this would be possible all in AE.

Schon wieder einmal wird automatisch was in AE geändert obwohl ich die automatischen Updates aus habe.Wieder ährend eines Projektes.Alles wird zurück gesetzt. Schriftarten werden nicht mehr erkannt.Einige Plugins funktionieren auf einmal nicht mehr... Wie kriege ich das wirklioch aus geschaltet. jedes mal während einer Produktion ist das wirklich die Hölle sich dann wieder mit dem Programm rumzuschlagen.

Hi, I have applied a Shatter effect to some text, when I scrub alone the timeline my 1st Mac crashes. When I render the project in Media Encoder it freezes just before the effect and does not finish. I opened on a second Mac and the same thing happened. On crashing and opening again it asks if I want to disable the shatter effect. If I open the project on my PC, I can scrub along the timeline and also render, with no issues. I have listed the computer specs below: 1st MAC  / Mac Studio (2022) / Apple M1 Ultra / 128gb running Monterey v12.6.1 2nd MAC / IMac Pro (2017) 2.3gh 18-core intel Xeon W / 64gb / Radeon Pro Vega 56 8gb / Monterey 12.5.1 PC / AMD 5950x / 3080ti graphics / 64gb / windows 11 Any help to resolve the MAC issues would be great, as that is my work computer in my office. The PC is a personal computer. BrendonF 

Under my window panel, I have something called MFColorPicker, and I have no idea what it is, but it instantly crashes my Aftereffects if it is clicked. I've tried searching for it, and can't find any related info, any help would be great. Thank you.

Hi allI'm trying to use Trapcode 3d stroke to make a dashed line (like you would in a shape path) - is there any way to do this? I've tried adjusting the step but just end up with dots.. I'd like these to be dashes. Quite surprised it doesnt look to have this option.. but maybe I'm missing something If so, any alternatives or will I just have to use a shape path?Thanks

Hola, verán tengo un problema, estuve editando un video con after effects cc 2017, el problema es que estaba exportando con Adobe Media Encoder para tener el formato H.264, (ya que no viene por predeterminado en el after effects).Estaba renderizando, pero mi compu se trabó, creo que no soporto el video, entonces hize un apagado forzado, creo que fue un gran error, ya que al volver a encender la compu, y tratar de abrir el proyecto de nuevo, me aparece:Advertencia de after effects: No se puede importar el archivo como proyecto (formato incorrecto o no legible) No se como resolver esto, por favor ayuda! PD: No se si sirva de ayuda, pero al momento de importar el archivo, noté que no aparece el formato para importar En la primera foto traté de abrir otro archivo para ver si era el único archivo que no me dejaba abrir. En la segunda foto es el video que estaba renderizando

Hi, I am working on simple animation of earth spinning on a path. Animation works flawlessly when i put around 10 rotations for the whole path. However, for some unknown reason when i put higher values like 365 rotations, the animation gets weird. Like the program tries to rotate the object 365 times way before reaching the keyframe. Not sure if it's mistake on my side or just a bug. I am using AfterEffects 24.6 on windows 11.  

Hi, I have completed my illustration in PS. I was happy. After completeing the animation I dnt like the end result. So I wanna tweak some colors and end up applying gradient fill in one layer in PS. But its not updtaed in AE. 😥I do not wanna redo the animation with updated PS file. anyway I can use the  updated file without destroying my animation? Please I need guidance. 😥😣  Thank you.      

When I check the 3D checkbox, some layers get a different icon, not the 3D box. What does the other icon mean? Thanks

When I rasterize my map, the map seems to flicker (especially in the Norway area of the map) as my 3D camera moves over it. I discovered that the only way to avoid this issue is by turning off the "Continuously Rasterize/Collapse Transformation" button (" * "). But then my map loses resolution and becomes pixelated when I zoom in on it. Please see these two videos showing no flicker with the non-rasterized map and flicker with the rasterized map. Is there another solution? Thank you in advance. RASTERIZED MAP WITH FLICKER ISSUE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk39xtWx-9s  NON-RASTERIZED MAP WITH NO FLICKER ISSUE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB-5XU2ATaw The rasterized map even when zoomed in all the way (as seen here over Denmark) looks clean and tack sharp as it should be, since it's a vector file. The problem is that if you look at Norway, you'll see the pixels flicker in that area of the map as the camera dollies into the map.     

Hello, everyone on tiktok, youtube, is saying that for a smoother edit, put the composition setting on 60fps. Except that when I put it on 60fps the whole edit becomes slow. How do I fix it? If I need to remove the 60fps, can I make my vid smoother in another way? Thanks.

I'm currently working on a project in After Effects and facing an issue with masking. I've created several masks on a layer, and everything looks fine in the composition preview. However, when I render the project, the masks seem to be misaligned or don’t appear as intended. I've tried adjusting the mask settings and re-rendering, but the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this issue? What steps can I take to ensure that my masks render correctly? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated. 

I'm trying to use edit a video in After Effects that I downloaded from Adobe Stock. It has a green screen and I'm trying to do motion tracking, but keep getting the following error message, "RAM used has been extended for previews. Adjust RAM settings in Preference> Memory & Performance." I did everything it said to no avail. I purged 'All Memory & Disk Cache' as well. I also created more available space on my computer by offloading apps to an external hard drive and I'm still getting the error message. No other apps are in use at the time of using After Effects. I just keep getting the error message and seeing this green flicker and glitch when previewing my work. It's stuck on 2 frames and won't preview further.I'm running After Effects 22.6 on a Macbook Pro, Mac OS Monterey 12.5..1, M1 chip, with 8GB of memory.

HI,I recently tried to attach a texture to a Plane I created in Element 3D The texture was downloaded as a PNG file, precomposed and designated to the texture 1 slot properly and when I applied the texture to the Plane as a diffused texture I get nothing. I have tried to designate other textures as well and got the same results. I hope i am explaining this correctly and can get some assistance or suggestions to resolve this. I really want to work with this texture in this project.Thanks in ADvanced.
