I want to include a particle emitter that emits different texts from a central point in my project. But I can't find the proper tutorial online to learn from, instead I get text dissolving into particles.I would like to do one without external plug-ins, since they are quite pricey.

I would like a function to load your own custom keyboard shortcuts from a previous version of AE. Currently you can only save them, why not add the ability to load them from a previous version so you don't have to redo them every time you update After Effects

I’m trying to create a typewriter effect, where text appears letter by letter, and whenever an end of line is reached, it the text scrolls one line upwards.  It needs to be moving in sync with the audio, so I need to be able to add pauses and holds. I have inherited a project where this has been done in an incredibly complicated way, but I'm wondering if there might be a plug in or some code that could help?? Thanks in advance

My english skill is bad buat understand what you're sayingHELP ME, IT'S URGENT CAUSE THIS WAS MY ASSIGNMENTS i did put new composition and already put images, transform, effects BUT when i open this file ( i did save every time), all my images suddenly disappeared and files still inside composition.....

I want to link one size property to another but keep the child property 10% lower than the parent but I can't figure it out?

I am trying to set the blur map layer to the selected layer and its source to "Effects and Masks", using the following code, the selected index works fine, but I can't change the source to "Effects and Masks" blurEffect.property("ADBE Camera Lens Blur-0010").setValue(selectedIndex);blurEffect.property("ADBE Camera Lens Blur-0011").setValue(2);

I have a problem, I can't find extendscript in my After Effects, I already tried installing it, but I cannot find it in Creative Cloud, any solutions to this? because I do not have the "open script" option under file>script

As I'm previewing my edit on after effects, I can't hear anything but background music of the video. I tried turning up the audio levels and all I hear is background music of the video, till I then realized the audio for it is HEVC. I remember it was h.264 before because I used to make an edit of the same video and heard people talking in the video, but now all of a sudden, it's hevc so I can't hear it but just background music which I do not want. I want to convert but the video I'm using is a whole movie cause I'm making an edit of a movie. I tried converting it but it took WAY too long. Any way to solve this?

bro, I just installed Cinema 4D R24.111, but it can't render in Adobe Media Encoder. What's the cause? because before installing Cinema 4D there was no problem rendering in the media encoder for MP4 format. please advise 🙏

Hi, I have a shape layer with:- A group containing a Horizontal Rectangle and Circle placed on the far right of the rectangle, the anchor point of the group is place far left of the rectangle- A have a second Rectangle outside the group, a vertical Rectangle this time place on the far right of the first rectangle (Perpendicular), same as the position of the circle in the first group earlier I'm trying to rotate the first group (remember i shifted the anchorpoint) and also want the second rectangle to follow through and the first group as if it were parented to the first group What expression can i use to solve this issue Thank you for feedback 

Hello everyone,I have an important scene that I need to track with the 3D Camera Tracker. It works initially, but I have a big problem: After Effects recognizes the background tracking points as the foreground and the foreground tracking points as the background. As a result, all my targets are flipped.Since I need to further process the data in Blender later, I need accurate 3D points.I have already tried the "detailed analysis" and clicked through all the other settings directly in the Camera Tracker. The problem remains the same. Can't After Effects be told somehow that a certain point is in front of another point so that it can solve the camera again and correct the error? Is there another way to improve the tracking so that the depth is correct? Unfortunately, in the shot, there was a lot of panning and zooming, but hardly any forward or backward movement, and therefore no parallax. Thank you very much for any input. Best regards 

Hi, I have a problem with my adobe after effects. When I click on a previous composition I've saved or make a new one the stage screen thing (I don't know the proper name) doesn't show up. It just stays on what you see in the screenshot above (new composition or new composition from footage). My layers show up and everything else but not the stage. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Deleting personal preferences, and restarting over and over again but nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated

I'm running AE 2020 on Mac Mojave 10.14.3. When I double click on a text layer in my timeline AE does not highlight the text in the comp window to make it editable.  Any time I attempt to double click a text layer to start editing it I get the Mac system error sound. It's a minor problem but it just throws off the pace of my whole workflow.  BONUS ISSUE: Im also having to click twice in my comp window to start the creation of a shape layer, text layer or even when creating a mask. I feel like these two issues are rooted in the same thing.   Title edited by Mod

Hi,Whenever i expand my after effects to full screen, it turns black..When i minimize the window/make it smaller, what im working on appears.anyone know how to fix this?  thank you!

New to after effects, ive animated a text to bounce around the screen. For some reason I'm not seeing the motion path though, I have it turned on in the display settings to "show all key frames". Any help with how to mess with the motion path? When I've used AE in the path I was able to just see the path and modify it, now not so much. Is that to do with the version of AE that I'm using? Im on 24.5 Any help would be great. Thanks

Every time I try to install this plugin AE stops me telling me it already exists. Every time I check for the duplicated plugin AE says I have the folder for it doesn't even exist as show in the image above. Any idea for what I can do? I am on Mac 10.13.6

Cuando uso el script Create nulls from paths me sale el trazo desplazado y no puedo hacer que coincida con la animación. 

does anyone know how to do this text? not sure if its the font or 3D 

Hi,I am doing a tutorial in AE and the person giving the lesson says to turn off the trim path before copying and pasting a copy into the other comp. His  timeline has 4 extra icons than mine. Therefore his Interface looks different than mine.He did this in AE 6 and I am in 2017 AE CC.I have done a screen cap to show the 4 extra icons, he has, that I cannot find. He gives no alternate way to turn off the trim path. Thank you.

 Hey, I am brand new to after effects and am trying to recreate this tutorial. In the video below the teacher moves the car to different positions, creating points of the path and the path curves to follow the points. Meanwhile when I follow the same steps, my path is a straight line and makes corners and doesn't curve. Cheers for any help.

Hi, I am studying time expression.  as time expression  is different for   'Array values' so I need to understand it strongly. I totally understand scale. but position is giving me trouble. I experimented 'position' with   time alone, then with plus, minus , multipy and divide. I understand all besides time with divide. I took a 20 sec long comp, 24fps, so total 480 frame. so when I apply  multiply on X position like  [position[0] * time, position[1] ] , then box moves 22.5 pixel on each frame from 0 pixel. I understand this increment. I get why box  moves on X axis  22.5 pixel on each frame. but  when I wrote [position [0] / time, position[1]];then  x position shows  12960.0  and box gets kicked outta comp window!! 😮 😮but why? what is after effect doing when am writting  [position [0] / time, position[1]] , what's going on here?I dnt understand what makes AE produce
