After Effects

In AE CC 2017, I have a composition (A) where the footage is from another composition (B) and this composition (A) had 11 colour range keys on it. And they had worked at one point and I had selected the colour to key. Now, when I add a color range key to the composition, pressing the icon to select the colour to key switches to the (eyedropper?) icon but when I place it over the footage to select the colour it changes back to the normal mouse pointer so doesn't select the colour.The video that's started having a problem is quicktime pro-res - even though colour range key worked okay on it previously (note: I'm using Windows 10).I've also tried using the footage from composition (B) in a new composition but that does the same thing (just shows mouse cursor over the footage). But if I put a color range effect on a video rendered with quicktime jpeg2000 it works as normal (shows the eye dropper when cursor is placed over the footage).I've tried loading the pro-res video into a brand new (

I’m using After Effects on my ROG Strix G15 with 16GB of RAM, intel core i7, GTX 1650ti and Windows 11. When I try to remove a background from a three-second video and click ‘Freeze,’ the rendering process involves around 6000 frames, which takes a long time.Steps to Encounter the Bug:1. I import a three-second video into After Effects.2. I select the area of the video from which I want to remove the background.3. I click on ‘Freeze’ to start the background removal process.The program should render a reasonable number of frames, like my brother’s laptop, which only processes around 170 frames, making the rendering quicker.What Actually Happened:The program is rendering approximately 6000 frames, leading to much longer processing times. How can I reduce amount of frames that my laptop needs to render?

I just downloaded After Effects and I can't find presets, I only have the 2024 version, but I can't find presets and I can't use plugins, I added a few plugins in the folders. but it doesn't show up in After Effects

2024 still the same problem. It's been written here for years, they say it's hardware related, but obviously the real problem is that Adobe doesn't see it as a problem and can't be bothered to fix it. Because it does this on 3 different computers, desktop and laptop, even though all my software and hardware is up to date. I have top i7-i9 processors, 64gb or more ram and very fast ssd disks. Fun fact, it doesn't do it with unusual files, it does it with all common formats like mp4, mp3, mov, psd, ai etc. It has difficulty importing and does not respond and returns to normal after 20 seconds. Adobe is scam. 

I am looking  to create a line chart graph that has the ability to be able to be zoomed in and out of (animated).  I need to be able to scale the x and y dimensions freely.  Here is the rub: I would like all of the elements (text, lines, shapes etc) being scaled to NOT DISTORT.  example: I have a line graph where the bottom x value are let's say 12 months (Jan thru Dec - that 12 separate text boxes)Then the vertical lefT line  are let's say dollars amounts , let's say zero through $100 found up the left side.. (that's five text boxes). Not of course I have a line path/shape expressing whatever info values in the center .Now say I would like to animated a zoom into just the last month (Sat from Nov through Dec or something ) , but I want to keep the left vertical $ values the same.? Easy enough.. I split the x and y values of the scale property of a master null that I have parented all of my chart elements to.The problem is.. now all of my chart elemen

Buenas tardes, hoy instale la ultima version de After (23) y tengo problemas para poder abrir el programa me envia el siguiente error "no puede continuar after effects: no se pudo cargar el paquete CEP.

Hola! No puedo importar ningún archivo, de ningún tipo a After Effects. No los lee, me sale un error! 

Hi Everyone, I have been tasked with creating a short video animation for work to announce the rebranding of one of our facilities. I would like the old logo to morph into the new logo. The new logo contains the same icon, colour scheme and font as the old one, it's only the text in the logo that would need to change.  I am new to After Effects so have been on YouTube to try and understand the process. I have seen how to morph shapes but these images are more complex with lots of paths so the process is not working. Could someone please explain what I need to do or point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance!

It is doing something but not centering the anchor point. What should I do?

I use Ae 24.5.0 (Build 52) on Windows 11 and have noticed a while that if i for example place 10 comps in the Render Queue and select "Output To" for the first item it gets the correct name, iow the name of the Composition. This is expected.   But, for some reason the rest are named "_mov.mov", "_mov_1.mov", "_mov_2.mov", etc, etc. You can see it on the screen dump and you can also see the name of the Comps. If i hit Enter to start the render the files are indeed named "_mov.mov", "_mov_1.mov", "_mov_2.mov", etc, etc and thats useless.   I have noticed that sometimes it happens, and sometimes all comps gets their correct names in one go without a glitch.   Is this a known issue?      

Hi, I really need help, I don't understand why I have this bug.When I try to preview my work, my loading bar immediately resets and the preview is jerky (due to the fact that my bar loads a little but resets just afterwards).I manage to load and keep the load if I interact with the after effect interface (for example if I keep pressing on the timeline size change).Please help!I also got the error saying that ‘After Effects error: Cached Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback’I've emptied my cash, my preview is at 1/4 it shouldn't bug.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Maybe this is just status quo for AE, but I'm hoping someone has an idea. I recently went from a Lenovo P16s with just 32GB RAM, middling CPU (i7-1260P), and a horrible GPU (T550) - all the way to a Legion tower with an i7-13700KF, 64GB system RAM, speedy 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4080 with 16GB. So, you would think when I loaded up a 40 minute 1080p video, did a simple trim with some cuts and freeze frames (yea, I should have just used Premier, but I didn't) - you would think that I could export a little quicker than 50 mins!  I mean, even the old P16s could export a 40 min 1080p faster, I'm pretty sure. Nothing fancy for settings:Doing a two pass VBRI have multi-frame rendering enabledI have 52GB allocated to the Creative Suite apps47GB disk cache set on a SSD with 250GB free spaceMaximum render quality (but not 'render at maximum depth')I have the Mercury CUDA option onI see in the performance monitor that it's pegging the GPU about 85%, and about 2/3rds the GPU RAM -

Hi folks! When I'm rendering a Clip in H.265 (HEVC), I cannot open another project. AE always shows the issue "The document "myproject" could not be opened. After Effects cannot open files in After Effects Project format."I have to restart AE 50 times a day, because I'm working on much small projects, daily.Thats so anoying! Can you help me?Tnaks & regards Timo

Ce message n'est pas une Questions mais c'est pour aider toutes les personnes comme moi qui vont perdre un temps FOU (#30 min de recherche sur Youtube et dans les forums) à chercher où est la fonctionnalité raccorder les tracés sur leur After Effect. Alors Adobe a eu une idée incroyable comme d'habitude de changer l'appellation Raccordés les tracés par Réduire les tracés toujours au même endroit dans Contenu -> Ajouter -> Réduire les tracés. On est tous d'accord que la traduction ne veut rien dire et que j'appel pas ça mettre à jour leur appli mais nous cassez .... vous aurez compris la suite.

Is there anyway to use a selection of roto brush footage as a mask? What I want to have happen is a foot enters frame and steps on text, so the foot will mask out the current text as it steps down on it, and then as the foot step up and out of frame different text is revealed. I know I can create this using the pen tool and animating the keyframes from that, but is there a way to use a selection of footage from the roto brush? Thanks! 

Hi, I'm having the error listed in the subject: "Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server." when trying to warp stabilise footage.I open a new project, add a single piece of footage (Shot on phone, converted it ProRes with Media encoder), create new sequence from footage, add warp stabiliser - then i get the error. I'm running Adobe After Effects 22.6.0 (Build 64), on a 14 inch MacBook Pro 2021 (m1pro) with 32 GB of RAM, OS is Monterey version 12.5.1. I've got 350 GB free space on my harddisk and run my project from an SSD. I've got F-Secure SAFE virus scanner installed, but otherwise noteworthy programs.  Any input as to how this could be resolved is welcome.

Hello, I have an issue with the CC Bend It effect.I have an Illustration that I wanted to use the Bend It Effect on.A known issue with this effect is that it cuts the image once applied.The most common solutions are to either use the Grow Bounds effect above CC Bend It, or simply precompose the layer and then add the effect on top of the new composition. But for some reason both of those solutions don't work for me anymore.I've tried turning off the Continously Rasterize option, creating a new shape layer, turning it into a PNG and using that instead, using the Grow Bounds effects on top of the precomposed layer, and yet nothing works. I'd love to know if there's another solution to that issue.

HeyI was trying to use Roto brush to remove background from 3 seconds part of whole video but when I tried to double click on my 3 seconds clip nothing happened and new layer where I can use roto brush wasn't crated like it was in tutorials on YouTube. Double clicking on whole video (3 min) worked indeed. I know I can trim exact part from this whole raw video, but it will take a lot of time every time just to find part you need. so do you have any suggestions how I can remove background just from this 3 seconds part? I attached video for better understanding thank you 

hello, writing here is my last resource, ive read a lot of posts here about this error and all of them said that there was something in my comp that was too big or so but mine is different, it says (\1x\2) instead of just some big number, btw i checked all of my pre comps and clips none have that size
