After Effects

I downloaded ccs for some edits I will make and they were in the format of ffx which can only be used in adobe after effects. I work on a MacBook, can anyone tell me how I can export an effect to a different file format?

lots of crash and my top menu disappear in Ae 24. Any idea ? Thx a lot

Hi!I am currently working on a project where I have to add an animated hairstyle to live-action footage. The hairstyle is quite Elvis-hairspray-like, so the idea is that the hair does not deform much except for perspective changes. Thus, in order to quicken my workflow, I am trying to come up with a way where I can use tracking data as both a mask and a surface deformer. To be more specific: I can track the head's shape by tracking a mask, but then I also want to use this tracking data to deform a solid or an image that contains the hair texture, so it can follow the perspective change of the head. Is there a way to do that? Pehraps with Mocha? I hope I am explaining it clear enough and please let me know if u need more info!

Using Turbulent Displace with an animated "Evolution" property crashes After Effects. Using After Effects 24.2.1 in Windows 11. GPU drivers are up to date. I've been using Turbulent Displace for years now to create a jumpy squiggly line effect on text and drawings. Just after the most recent update, it now crashes the app in all but the most simple comps. If a comp has only one or two elements, it seems to work okay, but any comp of complexity (10 or more layers, nested comps, etc.) crashes if Turbulent Displace in introduced in any way (on an adjustment layer or individual layers or on the comp as a whole). I have an Intel i9 CPU, RTX 4080 GPU and 64GB of RAM. Again, been using TD for years in this way and never encountered this. Very easy to replicate, and I've methodically eliminated all other effects and plugins. The crash happens with complete predictability within seconds of applying Turbulent Displace with an animated Evolution parameter.

Hello After Effects Community, I have been having occasional Windows Blue Screen of Deaths (BSOD) when running After Effects. I am on Version 24.1.0 (Build 78). My Windows info is the following... Windows 11 ProProcessor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHzInstalled RAM 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable) My system administrator pulled the log when the BSOD occured and narrowed it down to an issue with After Effects. Can anyone make sense of this or at least help point us in the correct direction? Here is the log below: ********************************************************************************                                                              &nbs

Hi, i use a lot this symbol ( ® ) in after effects. In other basic application, even notepad, if i type this symbol, it is recognized natively with superscript style. In after effects instead, it appear as standard size character.Is there any options about this?If not, an expression to apply to layer text would be great. I tried with "sourceText.replace", but it replace with the same, non superscript, character.I use also mogrph files in premiere, so i have not access to text formatting options for a single charThanks

I get this error when sending from Premier Pro to After Effects

Good morning,I have a problem with After Effects performance:When AE reaches a certain number of levels in the timeline everything becomes very slow (selecting keyframes in the timeline, moving program windows etc... it's as if the whole program is lagging)To do a test I created 30 solids of 50px per side (so quite light) in an FHD composition and the performance drop is incredible!I attach my PC specifications which, although not high-end, should not cause problems of this type in such light projects.Thanks in advance;Davis

Does anyone know why after effects is showing this error and not installing the plugin?

Hi! Can someone help me with the best way to create a falling animation with a looping effect like the one below (this is just a still image, I can't upload video). It's a looping animation with the same objects you see in this image that just keeps looping. I know how to get the objects in etc., it is only the falling/looping animation. Thanks in advance! 

Estou tentando recplicar um efeito de um curso que comprei, no vídeo o instrutor claramente vai na aba Effetcs and Presets e seleciona o efeito "saber/sabre" coisa que não consigo replicar no meu aplicativo, o efeito foi retirado ou susbtituido por outro nome? 

Is there a way to force an script to stop executing from CEP panel?  For example in long loops:my first thought was to make the loop in the CEP context and pass the index and the data in each loop to an extendscript method, so I can control the loop outside, but it seems to be a little cumbersome. Is there a simpler aproach?  I'm especially thinking about more complex processes with more loops and complexity layers 

While editing in the After Effects multimedia file, I am getting the issue of this audio preferences. In one option I am able to listen audio, while next option is not working? Kindly provide me with the relevant answer.

hiI'm feeling extremely anxious because I'm unable to import .mov extension videos into After Effects. I attempted to convert them to mp4 by simply renaming the files from .mov to .mp4, but now, when I import the mp4 videos into After Effects, they become distorted, and the software crashes. I'm at a loss for what to do or who to turn to for help. I'm using a Mac, and I desperately NEED HELPPP 

Hello, I need to make some short and simple Video for some artists Interviws.In the interviws will be also some Illustration, and simple logo animation.Is it better to make everything first in PR and then to do the animation at the end in AE or can I do everything at AE?I will also work with subbtitle for questions and answers. 

Hi ! How do I change the size of the timeline?(see photo) The reset does not work.

Any time I apply any effect to a layer in After Effects, I get the message "Refresh disabled (Release Caps Lock to refresh view)". My caps lock key is disabled. I can get the message to go away by double pressing the caps key, but any time I do anything, even something as simple as moving the playhead, the message comes back. I have tried restarting AE and updating to the most recent version, which still did not solve the problem. This makes it practically impossible to get any work done. I am using the built-in keyboard on a 13" mid-2012 MacBook Pro.

Hey All! I'm trying to create an expression that will randomly move a square one of four ways, and only do so occasionally.  I've got it close, and I think it's working except for - the square returns to its home anchor point every time. The idea is that it would move North, East, South, or West about 30% of the time, and the rest of the time it would just stay in its last position. I am sooooo close with this script:segDur = .5;// duration of each "segment" of random motion seed = Math.floor(time/segDur); segStart = seed*segDur; amt=800; south=[0,-1*amt]; north=[0,amt]; east=[amt,0]; west=[-amt,0]; seedRandom(seed,true); m=Math.round(random(1,15)); if (m==1){startVal=north} else if (m==2){startVal=south} else if (m==3){startVal=east} else if (m==4){startVal=west} else startVal=[0,0]; seedRandom(seed+1,true); m=Math.round(random(1,15)); if (m==1){endVal=startVal+north} else if (m==2){endVal=startVal+south} else if (m==3){endVal=startVal+east} else if (m==4){endVal=startVal

I've been facing this issue while exporting my files either through Premiere Pro or After Effects, Whenever I export the file with H.264 Codec the exported file Comes out to be damaged with other codecs like Quicktime i don't face this issue, but I mostly use H.264 Only, I have attached a video of the damaged file.PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to use the Track Camera motion tracker but every time I delete some tracking points from a foreground object NEW tracking points get added to the foreground object earlier in the timeline requiring me to go back and delete those. This happens again, and again. How do I stop AE from adding new tracking points every time I delete some?

I'm trying to use the 3D camera tracker, but it gives the same points no matter what the footage is.I've two computers each are the same, mac studio M1 Max chip, they are connected to the same cloud account and have the same version of After Effects installed on both of them (After Effects 24.2.1). On one computer the tracker works just perfectly and it gives correct points for the footage. When I use the effect on the same footage on the other computer it just keeps repeating the same - unrelated -  points over and over.Do you know how can this be fixed?I am attaching screenshots from the two different version.Thank you!
