After Effects

Hi guys,Anyone has this strange and annoying text bug?I have a composition which has: 1 text layerNow when I paste in another element (a .psd, a .mov, whatever) the appearance of the text moves upwards to the screen (to the top of the added layer?)Check:I already experience this bug for 1 year now and wonder what it is, why it is, ...?Lots of crashes also when changing properties of an already existing text layer. Something tod o with certain fonts? ftt / otf?Any tips on this one?Thanks a lot!JoostTitle was edited by: Mod

Mac Mini M2 32GB Ventura 13.3.1AE 23.3.0I stabilize a lot of timelapse drone images with Warp Stabilizer, but often it will freeze during the Analysis pass. If I restart AE and start Analysis again is will usually complete but sometimes I have to remove the effect, restart AE and then run Warp Stabilizer again to complete the Analysis step. I am currently running on AE 23.3.0 but this has been happening for awhile, on intel and silicon Macs and with previous versions of AE.

With the latest version (23.4) and the new sorting logic, things are becoming messy.While it is nice to have elements like 1 and 1.1 placed close to each other, many other aspects have changed.Now, compositions that begin with symbols like - or _ are placed below elements that start with numbers. Previously, it was the opposite.Additionally, if you have two compositions with the same name, but one starts with a single _ and the other starts with double __, the one with the double underscore will be positioned below the single underscore.This behavior is opposite even to what is used to in Windows Explorer.These changes significantly impact the naming workflow. It is beneficial for 1 and 1.1, but problematic for everything else.

It used to be the case that underscore sorted before alphanumeric characters and other symbols.  We have many projects where we have named items in the project panel with a starting underscore character (_) so that those items sort to the top of their folder.  However, with the change in sort order of recent AE 23 updates, including AE 23.6, the sorting order appears broken, and these items end up in the middle of their folder, after items that begin with other symbols or a number, but before items that begin with a letter.  Can Adobe fix this to restore the old sort order, which would also be consistent with the sort order in the OS? 

i'm using font manager with animated fonts, but it doesn't have the option to offset on the timeline per word ...so i get a giant list of idividual characters as layers. i'm asking if there is something i could put a sentance into and then have it offset the layer groups that contain each word?i wouldn't be asking if i didn't have a metric ton of these to handle.

ok so before I begin I'm completely new to After Effects and I just got it yesterday so it's a bit overwhelming. Also I apologize if my terminology is wrong. So currently, I'm trying to put a scale transition between clips and I was following multiple tutorials to do so. I set my keyframes and scales and selected both keyframes and easy eased them with f9. The tutorial had me then go into the graph. However, my graph has two lines, a red one and a green one that represent the X and Y scale. In all the tutorials I have seen, there is just one line on the graph and it's red. When I try to move one line, they move together. I have no idea what to do and it's getting really overwhelming. What do I need to do in order to make my graph one line?

Hola.he realizado videos cortos pero cuando los envío a media encoder y veo el resultado, el fotograma poster o miniatura del vídeo me sale en negro o un frame que no he seleccionado. Cómo selecciono el fotograma poster que quiero que aparezca en la miniatura del vídeo?Muchas gracias por la ayuda.

I have seen people have similar problems on this forum but mine is the other way around. Whenever I press spacebar to pause, it either just goes on, or replays the pre-rendered part over and over. All the while not pausing until I have hit the spacebar about 5 to 10 times. 

My goal is to spread the design below in 3d space. Importing it as an ai composition causes after effects to freeze as it's way too many layers.I am willing to recreate it as seperate shape layers in after effects but I don't want it to crash when I'm almost done...Before I start, is there a limit to haw many 3d layer after effects can handle, or is there some other wayhow I can accomplish this?Thanks!

As you can also see it makes the panel very long to scroll down, I've restarted AE numerous times and closed the panel.

Hello, I´m trying to apply LightRay effects in the image, but as you can see it´s applying inside the layer size - how do I solve that?

After Effects > juni 2024 update | Camera Raw import color issues   Hello, ever since the june update I've got a big color difference between Camera Raw and the timeline. It looks like a wrong profile, but whatever I do in the color settings (project) or RAW settings the problems stays. I've never had such a color/contrast shift before, this different than the regular profile problems. Photoshop does not have this problem and both my Mac Mini and Macbook pro 2017 have this problem. It becomes dark and purple in AE, it seems to have happened after the update on both macs. Is this a software issue? It have tried all available color settings in After Effects and the RAW preview looks fine.   Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 After Effects 24.5 Mac Mini M2 16gb   Actions; Import Camera Raw file (Canon 100d) - works fine on all other software Raw importer shows correct color, timeline doesn't (see pictures)   Thanks, Jurriaan      Title edited by Mod.

Hi. Trying to create some text templates using essential graphics. I've added properties for everything I need, but can not get the leading to work. Yes, I know it's not yet supported.Was able to ALMOST find a solution by adding an expression (temp = thisComp.layer("Leading").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");[temp, temp]) to my line spacing under the text animators. Created a null. Added a slider to it. Pick whipped the expression to the null's slider. It shows up and functions within my essential graphics, but is using both the x+y axis, so my text spacing is now being adjusted diagonally versus just moving up and down the Y axis like I need it ton (aka the text line spacing is moving both up and down, but also left to right simultaneously depending on slider input.)Anyone have a workaround to this? Plz send help.

I recently made a composition on After Effects, and my friend needs to edit it slightly (because of the limits of my machine). I have no clue how I can get it to him so he can edit it - I have tried sending the .aep file, but when he opens this the footage is glitched out. The file path of this footage is on my laptop and not his, so I think this is the issue. I do not know how to resolve this though.  I have also tried creating an adobe after effects team project, and then import the .aep file into that and invite him as a collaborator, but this doesn't work and he doesn't even end up seeing any files in the left hand side panel.  Any help is appreciated. 

when I open an extension, it turns out to be just a gray or strange screenI tried changing registry files, reinstalling, changing xml files, nothing helped. I did not find this error on the Internet 

Hello, I have noticed that PF_InData num_params is always zero and all examples are using hard-coded value of parameters count. It looks like a bug. I have a workaround I can use global_data, but it looks not so pretty and I would avoid it.

This is driving me crazy. I've been working on this project a lot and since yesterday there are A LOT of instances where some particular keyframes can't be draged. Only sellected, Can't even right click them, but others on the same properties can be grabed no problem. I tried zooming in and out, restarting the software, updating.... the issue persists

Hi !I got a question about the "Set Matte" effectsI want to use it on a ".png" files, to make appear a YT Logo on my animation, but it don't works while it does on a text, so IDK what to do. Anyone got an idea please?Thanks 🙂

I need to export a file with the following specifications: 10880 x 120 pixels at 60 fps. I export it to .MOV no problem, when I export it to MP4 I can't view it on any player. Can anyone help me? Where am I wrong? The only format accepted by the customer is MP4. 

Hi, I'm trying to add an animator to a text layer, so I can change the position. But with the last update of After effects I cannot see the values (from 0 to 100%) so I can't modify it. I just can change the position of the whole layer, but not on the animator.I attach a photo so you can see the problem.I'll appreciate any help
