After Effects

So my kids and I wanted to create a Star Wars video with lightsabers. We recorded the video, imported in after effects, and then I went frame by frame adding lightsaber effects. It took a a lot of hours to complete. We got all excited when it was complete, and I rendered the movie to h264. When watching it, the audio was not synced and the light sabers were off. After figuring things out, I noticed the composition frame rates for both the footage and the light saber effects are at 29.37 fps. Everything is in sync when playing it in after effects. But after I render it (which looks like it renders to 29.97), everything is off. So I attempted to change the composition frame rates to 29.97 for both footage and lightsaber effects. The audio is synced but the light sabers are still off. Is there a way to get this rendered without needing to go back and do the light sabers all over again?

see? LUT: Nonedowner must be 12+ windows with presets to LUT, but...hes lost somewhere XDi do nothing and have no idea how i can fix that. 

Do the AE-packaged OICO profiles not work with CMD rendering? Is it advisable to use a custom profile in CMD?Windows 11, v24.5.0

Buenos días, necesito ayuda, me sale un error que me está volviendo loco. Cuando quiero usar "Rastrear cámara" y "Estabilizador de deformación" me sale el siguiente error: "No se puede obtener conexión del servidor de dynamic link".Acabo de ver que a otro usuario le está pasando lo mismo y que están viendo por qué sucede...Adjunto captura de pantalla, desde ya muchas gracias.

Hi I'm using windows 10 w/4090 in AE and i have a 3 monitor setup, main monitor, color calibrated Eizo coloredge and a TV mirroring the eizo. My typically setup is to have both the eizo and tv set to mercury transmit preview.Testing out aces workflow and... it does not let you set the preview output to the same color space as your comp workspace, so the colors look completely wrong. This seems is a pretty major oversight. Are there plans to fix this?  Thanks in advanceRuairi Robinson

Is it possible to edit every detail of an Illustrator file in After Effects? Specifically, I want to apply keyframes to every detail of my Illustrator file, including shape properties, freeform gradients, effects, and more—not just the layers. I would like to be able to edit every property setting and effect in After Effects. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you!

I opened the link https://developer.adobe.com/after-effects/, and click on "Get the SDKs". But there is no respond.I waited for a long time, and there is still nothing.Does anyone can tell what happened?

I have a script that sets work area start to playhead, but if doesnt set work area start to playhead when playhead it one frame before work area end.Thank you 🙏app.beginUndoGroup("Set Work Area to selected layers"); { // Get the current active composition var comp = app.project.activeItem; if (comp instanceof CompItem) { // Save the current work area start and end var currentWorkAreaStart = comp.workAreaStart; var currentWorkAreaEnd = comp.workAreaStart + comp.workAreaDuration; // Set the work area start and end to the composition start and full duration comp.workAreaStart = 0; comp.workAreaDuration = comp.duration; // Get the current playhead time (time indicator) var playheadPosition = comp.time; if (playheadPosition >= currentWorkAreaEnd) { // If the playhead is after or at the current work area end var newWorkAreaStart = playheadPosition; var workAr

Hello cows,am new to this forum so i try to be specific as possible to save everbodys time:I have a click sound, that translates into very clear keyframes with values between 10 and 20 at a click and I want to my graphic to be 10px further up everytime a click/keyframe value occursBUTI need the animation to be linear but smooth starting and ending just halfway between the clicks so the next animation can start just in time. The clicks are not unison but vary in clicks per minute.I already triedease(value, 11, 20, 0, 10)smooth(width=0.1, samples=50)smooth goes into the right direction but I cant change it to be precise where i need the animation to start and end and to be at 10 exact at the click.Could somebody please point me into the right direction or am i missing something?THANKS!

I have 2 Animate files that I'm importing into AE. Both files are saved in seperate folders, everything is named correctly and all assets are placed in their correct folders. File A from Animate imports into AE correctly; it makes .swf files, everything animates as it should, it works fine. After Effects refuses to import File B right. Every asset gives a 'File cannot be opened, it may be in an unsupported format (86: 1 )' even though it's in the same format as File A. Dragging the files in directly gives me the same 'File can't be opened' message. It's not an issue of neither works, it's more one does, the other doesn't despite them being nearly identical.  I've renamed the file, moved the folder, resaved the Animate file, restarted my computer, restarted After Effects, I can't figure it out. Other files open, but this one won't. I'm using After Effects 2023 and Animate 2023 on a Macbook Pro, Big Sur 11.7.10.  

I have a scrip that sets work area start and end according to the selected layer(s), but it doest position the work area correctly if the comp duration is large.// After Effects script to set work area to selected layers' start and end points app.beginUndoGroup("Set Work Area to Selected Layers"); var comp = app.project.activeItem; // Get the active composition if (comp && comp instanceof CompItem) { // Ensure that there is an active composition var selectedLayers = comp.selectedLayers; // Get selected layers if (selectedLayers.length > 0) { var workAreaStart = selectedLayers[0].inPoint; var workAreaEnd = selectedLayers[0].outPoint; // Loop through the selected layers to find the earliest start and latest end points for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) { var layer = selectedLayers[i]; if (layer.inPoint < workAreaStart) { workAreaStart = layer.inPoint;

先日Aeを入れたばかりの新参者です。起動してみたはいいものの、「システムの互換性レポート」と注意書きが出てきて使えません。いろいろ自分なりに調べてインテルドライバーとソフトウェアを最新の状態にしましたが出続けてしまい未だ開けない状態にあります。これは自分のPCのスペックなどに問題があるのでしょうか。有識者がいらっしゃいましたらご教授いただけると幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。 使用しているPC→Razer blade15   Corei7  Windows10

Hello! Trying to animate a write-on effect, but with a sans serif blocky font - so each line/section/curve of the characters "draw" on at varying times as a way to reveal the word. I don't want an organic, handwriting look though - more like trim paths, but the brand's font design is too specific to recreate using hand-made strokes. Is there a better way to accomplish this, or do I need to recreate with strokes and use trim paths?

 Hallo zusammen,ich habe ein Problem mit Adobe After Effects, das mich zur Verzweiflung bringt. Jedes Mal, wenn ich versuche, eine Animation zu rendern, hängt sich das Programm auf oder stürzt komplett ab. Der Renderprozess startet zwar, aber nach einer Weile friert alles ein und ich kann die Animation nicht erfolgreich exportieren.Ein paar Details zur Animation:Die Komposition hat eine Breite von 14.400 Pixeln und eine Höhe von 256 Pixeln. Ich frage mich, ob die ungewöhnlich große Breite der Komposition das Problem verursacht. Möglicherweise überfordert diese Größe meine Hardware oder überlastet die Software.Hat jemand von euch ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder eine Idee, woran es liegen könnte? Ich wäre sehr dankbar für jeden Tipp!Danke im Voraus!

I keep on repeatedly getting an error with After Effects that states: After Effects warning: Unable to set clip. GDI Status: "GenericError" It happens to me every day, usually over my lunch hour I switch my screens off. If After Effects is running, when I return and try to RAM Preview, AE will load in to RAM as much as it can, usually playing back once before this error pops up. If I hit ok, the same error then pops up repeatedly, and it will not go away giving me no chance to save my work. I have to use the Task Manager to be able to quit AE. As I've got two monitors plugged in to two PCs, it also happens when I switch PCs then switch back to the one running AE. Can Adobe fix this please? Or at least make it so that the error message doesn't keep coming up when I press OK in an endless cycle of doom?

(See attached video.) When I copy a layer with relative property links, then paste to create a new layer with those property links, then duplicate the comp, the duplicate layer does not update. Steps to encounter the bug:Create a layer.Copy with relative property links.Paste to create a new layer with relative property links.Duplicate comp.Change a property of the original layer in the new comp (position, in this case). The position of the duplicate layer does not update; it remains frozen in place It should instead "follow" the original layer. Curiously, the position property in the layer stack does show that the property is updating properly; it is merely not updating visually. I have several third-party plug-ins installed; ask if you need specifics. I am running After Effects 24.5.0 (Build 52) for macOS Sonoma 14.6 on a 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max chip and 64 GB of memory.  

Hello, I'm wondering how this transition was made? (see video attached) How does someone move the video down so smoothly? Is this doable in After effects? Thanks!

hello everyone, since yesterday after effects is suddenly unable to cache my compositions. Instead of caching it like it used to, the cache bar just randomly flickers all the time. I already tried to purge the caches and everything multiple times, selected new locations for them, changed the resolution and minimized my project files. I m already working with precomposed comps and proxys. Everything behaved fine before.  I have tested to open a new project and imported a clip into the compositon to see if it occurs again. It worked perfectly fine. The sequence was cached and the green bar behaved normally.  Has somebody experienced this problem and knows how to solve it. I have worked tones of hours on this project and would appreciate every helpful advise.  

In PP there is an option (hold shift key while loading) to reset the plugins loading cache. Is there a similar thing for AE? I have some plugins not loading with this message:The registry tells us to cache so the plugin will be loaded from the cache. The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded. 

I have been noticing premiere projects and after effects projects vanishing .  I recently was able to reproduce this because fortunately, we have a backup system in place and was able to recover the deleted project, and reproduce it. I have a dynamically linked after effects project with som fottage that became unlinked.   I choose "edit original" from premiere and relinkd the footage that was unlinked. When I went into premiere it said the after effects project (that was just there) was offline. When I looked in the folder that the ae project was in, it was emptyhttps://youtu.be/a4DBbu6js4c
