1. Create new project, create a new layer. 2. Apply transform and change the scale - the scale of the layer changes.3. Make the layer 3d4. Apply transform and change the scale - the scale of the layer no longer changes example: 

Hi im trying to create a simple lines animation and im working with repeaters,My animation in very simple, start with 0 copies and end with 4.When i copy The animation keyframes to all the layers above it dose not work like the first layer and It start to do fade in animation instade of making the repeater copies animation that i wanted.What i did noticed is that when i copy and pasted the keyframes to the other layers it was creating  other repeater  in the layer instead of changing the values of the existing one soI tried to delete the reapeters of all the layers and after that i pasted the keyframes again  and then the fade in effect is happening again I really don’t  know what to do

I have plugins that I use on a few macs and share with some friends over the years.  None of them work with the latest AE and Mac OS. And we cannot even open After Effects when these plugins are in the MediaCore plugin folder.  I believe I need to add some sort of signing certificate when compiling them with Xcode.  Is there any documentation on how to do this for the AE SDK?  Thank you

Hi, I'm experiencing weird bug. It lasts only 1 frame : some words in my comp are switching from roman characters to hindi characters for no reason. I mean, there is no key frames, and there is no intention of making an effect by switching characters to another. I tought it could be a graphic bug or something while previewing. But the thing is that when I'm making a render this bug stays. This monday everything was working fine and when I reopen the project this morning the weird bug appeared.I've tried, closing and reopening after effects. Restart my computer, and desactivate and reactivate Poppins font (Adobe font) that I'm using in my comp. Nothing has worked, still have the issue. Did someone already experienced this issue and solved ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi!  I'm not an animator (yet...). I want to shoot documentary footage of people talking and then somehow run it through some brilliant software that turns all the characters into cartoon animals! (or.. at least renders them unrecognizable, if not animals...) Which software can do this most easily?  Afterfx?  Blender?  Cartoon Animator (formerly CrazyTalk,) Reallusion iClone?  Cost is a factor but also... also feasibility... i'll have to learn it from the ground up.  I used to be an editor.  I once taught my self Indesign in 2 weeks... so i'm not without *any* confidence, but... i realize some mountains are really really big.  Any advice would rock. 

I have a composition which has multiple layers, mostly 3D. Everything was working fine until I brought in some UHD videoo footage and starting keying it into the composition. The comp has a 3D camera because I move around a larger space than the composition. Now when I make either the keyed footage a 3D layer it turns it black. It is also doing it with static PS layers now too. I have done this exact same process in another comp this week and had no such issues. Does anyone know if this is a weird configuration issue or ...???

Greatings to you all. Recently I updated my After Effects from 2023 to 2024, but since that my text tool (on all projects, even new ones) doesn't work / is glitched. For instance, when I type in, a border flickers at the render, but no text is being shown and isn't registred. Plus, when I start to spam some letters, it shows only couple of them and others aren't registred either. I will add a screen recording to show the issue:The system I am running is the 2022 Mac Mini (M2, 8/256). Could you all help me on how to fix it? Thanks in advance. - GGYT

영상에 오디오 스펙트럼 입히는 데에서 미리보기 재생으로 확인하는데 영상이랑 오디오가 지연되고 뚝뚝 끊겨요 특정구간 반복재생을 설정하지도 않았는데 그렇게 되더라고요 너무 불편해요

Hello, I'm a beginner user of After Effects. I have a question. I have a main video that is 60FPS, and I want to use another video as an overlay. The source of the overlay has 30FPS. My composition and the final output should be 60FPS. How does After Effects manipulate the frames of the overlay video? Are they going to be "spread" so that 1 frame of the overlay spends the same time as 2 frames of the main layer? Or, is the overlay going to be faster than its source? If 1 frame of the overlay lasts the same as 1 frame in the main 60FPS video, the overlay will be 2 times faster than its source, am I right? So, what is the case? Is there any option to choose between thetwo? Thanks.

Like many of you, I recently moved from AE 2022 to AE 2023. Im in the middle of a project involving many layers and blending modes working together. When I transferred over to the new software, all the layers with "screen", "overlay", 'luminescence" and others on half of my compositions are behaving improperly. The 'screen' mode is now behaving as the 'normal' mode does. Though this is only on half of my compositions. -Each layer uses the blending mode switch in the timeline-using the Cinema 4D rendered-all objects are 2D Is there something I should look at to get this fixed, or is this a known bug with AE 2023?

I would like to find out what is the difference between Adobe After Effects BrainBuffet eCourse and Practice Test vs Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Effects & Motion Graphics Using Adobe After Effects Practice Test vs Learn Key vs the material provided https://helpx.adobe.com/in/support/after-effects.html#sa_src=web-messaging

I hope it is understood. Why when I try to load preview I get this message that I have no ram and I am only using 29%. It should be noted that in the program configurations it has a maximum of 32GB of ram, which is what I have. If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi All, I'm trying to use Mocha to track a backpack that I need to add a logo on. I used Mocha to do the tracking, with all the options clicked (trans, scale, rotate, skew and perspective), added planar surface, clicked save. Then when I went back to AE and clicked on Create track data, even though I made sure the correct layer was selected as there was only one, the tracking points didn't appear on my preview screen. And when I applied the tracking data to the logo, it just disappeared from screen. Anyone has had a problem like this before? Any advice on how to fix it or any intel on what I might have done wrong?

Hi!ver 24.0.3 (Build 2)Windows 11I'm following this tutorial:When creating a mask from text, I get black screen and playback doesn't work.   I checked if the Render tick is on — it is.  Any ideas what might it be?

Hi, im new to writing ae plugins and wanted to try figure out how to write a simple plugin that can scale the footage,layer etc... of what its applied to.  i understand in logic of how to do it: find out layer w&h in pixelsCurrentscaleX = 100;CurrentScaleY = 100; scaleP.ScaleMultipler = params[EXAMPLE_SCALE]->u.fs_d.value / 100;     ie 101/100= 1.01 scale increase   if (ScaleP ) { NewscaleX = CurrentScaleX * Scale Multiplier;  NewscaleY = CurrentScaleY * Scale Multiplier;  CurrentScaleX = NewScaleX;CurrentScaleY = NewScaleY;} but as to writing that logic into a format the sdk can understand i have no idea. would be great if i could get a bit of help.

Hey everyone,I'm in desperate need of some assistance here. I've been encountering a frustrating issue with After Effects on my Mac, specifically when trying to open Envato projects. Every time I attempt to open one of these projects, After Effects crashes without fail.What's particularly baffling is that my colleague, who also uses a Mac, has no trouble whatsoever with the same projects on their system.I've reached out to Adobe support multiple times, but unfortunately, I've received no response from them. It's incredibly frustrating to be left in the dark like this, especially when I'm facing a roadblock that's hindering my work.Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any insights into what might be causing this? I'd greatly appreciate any help or advice you can offer. Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to create a template for animated type where each line comes in from opposite direction and a drop down which gives the user the option for 1, 2 or 3 lines of type. I've used a drop down expression control along with range animators which should turn the opactiy off for lines not in use. However, it doesn't seem to be working. Three lines works ok, but for one and two lines it seems to not want to change via the drop down. Any help would be great and if anybody then knows the best way to make sure each option is always centred would be great. Thanks,Oli 

I bought a recent laptop, and when I go to click to use the rotobrush, AE just crashes and closes after 5 seconds, and I don't know why. I've already tried changing the Ae settings but nothing seems to have any effect... Please help me!!! My laptop is a Lenovo Gaming 3i, with 11th Gen Intel i5-11300H 3.10Ghz, with 8GB of RAM and integrated graphics card Nvidia GTX1650 Ps: I also have a computer, which already had these same RAM and graphic card configurations, and this type of problem has never occurred before

I am attempting to use the SmartyPants Xcode project as a template.  I replace every instance of SmartyPants and SMARTYPANTS with my plugin name. But when I compile, it errors out with : Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code Any advice on how to fix this? And a better way to start new plugin packages? 

Please, I'm begging you guys, I need this tool for my job and I'm growing so increasingly annoyed by this issue.1 out of every 5 (or every 50 seconds...) of my renders ends up not matching the masking guides that I madeLike...This is hard to explain... I seperate my videos into 10 second clips (not enough ram to do anything more than that in 4k....) and please trust me when I say that I go over my rotobrush thoughroughly to make sure that it's the way I want it to be... and regardless of that, 1 out of every 5 (on average) of my clips ends up having some weird area unmasked or masked that I never asked it to mask or unmask... This issue is a problem with both the current beta, and the official product, of after effects of course.And it has been a problem for like at least a year and a half.  I've written about it before in this forum, and still there is no sollution.I suppose the AI being used to guide the masking is somewhat tied down to like weighted nodes or somehting like

 As you see the images above, I have an unintentional gamma shift when exporting my sequence from AE to AME... Somehow the result cranks up the lows/blacks up by almost 10 units...as seen in the scopes...wtf???If that is not already strange enough, it ONLY happens when I first add the sequence to AE render queue and then click 'Queue in AME'. If I instead go to the Composition tab and click 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue', then there is no problem; the exports will look exactly the same.When I render directly from AE it also exports exactly the same. So somehow the communication protocol between AE and AME when clicking 'Queue in AME' seems to be off...HOW is this possible??I really need the 'Queue in AME' to work correctly, as I use scripts that heavily rely on the render queue.I am so baffled by this, I have looked around and it seems like many are experiencing similar issues but with different contexts - they have no solution yet!ADOBE please help! This color inconsistency i

I suddenly got locked out of adobe while I was working on a project and I can't sign-in anymore (it says: Please wait as we work to fix this problem, then try again. If the problem persists, contact customer service. and I've already waited). It's not like it says the account doesn't exist or that I have the wrong password, it simply says ''Something went wrong''. Does anyone have a similar problem or could help please?

I've been using Automation Blocks' "Create Comp Duplicates from Spreadsheet" to automate the process of taking lists of vertical videos and converting them to horizontal, plus adding an animated lower third of the user's social handle. Sometimes, the clip that I'm importing is longer than the source clip I have in the composition I'm using as the template, so it ends the imported clip (duplicated on 2 layers) early.  So I drag the clips to their full lenghth, select one of them and press "o" to go to the out point of the clip, then press "n" to end the work area at the clip's out point.  Is there a way to automate these steps into the workflow?  Here is a video of what I do manually that I'd like to automate:  

Hello! I want to make an animation with a movement recognition like in the videos from the security cameras. I made a tracking, but I want the frame to change the scale roughly, trembling like in the real footages. What script should I use?
