Hi All, I am attempting to streamline my rendering process since I make make many renders a day, sometimes in batches from a single AE Project, and manually selecting output destinations is tedious. I have created a custom "File Name and Location Template", saved it, and set it to default, however, when I add to the render queue, the output destination is always "not yet specified", despite me having set my custom template to default. In fact, no matter what Template I set to default (even the stock ones), every comp's output destination is "not yet specified". Can someone assist me with this? Thanks!

I dont know what i am doing wrong. but i keep getting this error in this same spot and clip every time

Hey guys, I really don't know what to do. I bought new laptop for 1000€ only for AE. I couldn't afford anymore. It is MSI thin gf63 i7 12gen, rtx 4060, 16 GB ram, 500 SSD and my AE is so so slow. I updated everything, I searched all over internet and I don't know what is problem. I know that AE is powerful but I can't believe that this laptop can function properly with it. I need to do everything in quarter preview and when I use rotobrush and plugins like deep glow.. it is dieing. I am really dissapointed and don't know what to do. My friend have PC with rtx 3060 i think with ryzen processor (lower specs than my laptop) and he doesn't have big problems..do you know soultion? I would be so so thankful.

After Effects being insanely buggy - I though possibly due a project being created on PC and switched to Mac. But then I checked a project that was fine last week and that is not working now either.I have a new M2 Max Mac running the latest AE.All yesterday bugs kept creeping in such as:unable to highlight layers. AE auto selecting layers when I move past them.unable to highlight or move keframes.unable to change parameters on plugins.at one point the i renamed a comp and that neame turned up in a plugin parameter.The person I am working with opened the same file on his PC and it works fine,.

I reached out to adobe's support team via the "Contact Us" link on this website that connects you with a chat agent. I was wondering how to fix an issue where my computer's volume will automatically turn up when I open adobe applications. After asking the usual unnecessary questions, the chat agent, "Syed", suggested that he could access my computer remotely to further assist me. I respectfully declined, to which he said "Okay. Why don't you try to reinstall the apps?" When I was responding to this a command prompt popped up on my screen and I lost control of my computer entirely. Everything was highlighted in blue and my applications were being opened as well as the windows start tab. I immediately shut down my system, rebooted, and wrote this thread. I am deeply disturbed by this and feel extremely violated. Will definetely not be contacting adobe support again, I'm even paranoid to be writing on this thread. I hope that this chat agent is found and let go for this as well as a memo

Hi, I could not open my After Effects. The message below always pops up when I try to open AE. Can someone help me please? Many thanks in advance. I've tried uninstalling the app and re-downloading it. 

I recently started using After Effects, and one of the first things I noticed when I was doing so was that the menu bar and when exporting the menus were not the consistant dark theme, I'm not sure if this is a bug but I have not found any settings in the preferences that fix this. I am on a 2020 MBP with an M1 and have 16 MB memory.

Hi gang;I use Visual Studio 2012 Express on Windows 7. I have a couple plugins I have developed & compiled and would like to get them ported to Mac as well.I would have thought to do so, I just download Visual Studio on the Mac, copy the project over, and hit compile.However, after reading this thread: What do I need to do to convert a plugin developed in Windows to be Mac-compatible? It appears that's not the case. It seems I need to install XCode (which I know nothing about).So is the procedure the following:1 - download and install Xcode 102 - copy over my Windows VS 2012 project3 - open it on Xcode4 - set proper environment flags (ie. NDEBUG, MT/d, etc - although I have no idea where I'll find these in Xcode)5 - compileIs this along the right lines? Why can't I use Visual Studio for Mac?Any suggestions / tips from those that have gone through this?Thanks,-Richard

Hi guys. I'm developing an OpenGL-based AE plugin on a Windows and I've encountered some issues with window ordering in AE. For example, when my plugin opens a window using GLFW and I bring my window to the front above the AE window, if I switch to another application's window (such as a browser) and then switch back to AE, the AE window always comes to the front above my window. Is there any way to resolve this issue so that my window and the AE window maintain the correct order?

Hello everyone, since a year or more i deal with latency when running both AE and Premiere Pro at the same time as if Adobe was not allowing the RAM selected for adobe suite to apply to both program. I just realised i was right as i was displaying the detail of the memory use in AE. Basicly when only AE is oppened, the max autorized memory for AE is 27Go wich is right (in the 5th colomn of the picture down here), but when i open Premiere Pro it split this amount in 2, so both adobe program have a max memory of 13Go.. Any idea why there is this max split in 2 ? Max should stay 27Go as i could need like 20Go in AE and only 7 in Premiere... in the 6th colomn you can see AE is using 14Go so already blocked and lagging when Premiere is only using 5Go)Before a year ago i could run both program without lagIf i am wrong what solution do i have to work with Premiere and AE at the same time ? I really need this back and forth between both as i work on editing and FX at the same timeThank yo

O problema ocorre ao tentar importar um arquivo do Cinema4D e ao tentar criar um pelo After Effects, o complemento do Cinema4D ja está instalado no After Effects, mas eu não consigo Instalar o App da Maxon. 

On the AfterEffects timeline, there is a search box. I want to search on fill-color, how should I search? There are many shape layers in the composition, and searching for fill will show the stroke fill as well. Are there more advanced ways to search?

I am trying to export a very long and narrow resolution (24,720x96) composition for work. I read that exporting this as lossless .mov from after effects and then importing this .mov into Media Encoder would allow me to export it as H.264 with the dimensions I need.I was able to export as an .mov with the right size but when I pull this file into Encoder it is reducing the size down to 16,384x64. Anyone have any tips by chance to help point me in the right direction to figure this out?

  Hello, I hope I can clearly explain the problem I encountered. I have a video where there is a multi-story building in the center, a little to the side. Accordingly, the side of the house is at an angle (as in the photo). And I have a 3D model of this house. The point is that I want to replace the house in the video with a 3D model (I use Element 3d). But as a result, the side of the 3D model house is at the same level as the front (as in the photo). I would be very grateful for your help on how to make the 3D model look more like original.I experimented with axes, camera positions, dimensions, but nothing came of it.   

Hi,I am trying to get as much information as possible about the expression .replace() . I looked the Ae expression documentation, forums, asked Adobe assitants, but never found official and complete informations about this expression. So If you have a link or informations yourself, feel free to let us all know in the comment, I'll actualise this post.Note that I'm not a pro and English is not my first language, so if there are errors, tell me what to change. Here are the informations I have already :// g : search (g)lobally for the string // i : search while been case (i)nsensitive var a1 = [numerical or alphabetical value]; var a2 = [second numerical or alphabetical value]; ... var b = [numerical or alphabetical value inside ""]; text.sourceText.replace(/a1|a2/gi, b) exemples :text.sourceText.replace(/e/gi, 3) // before : HELLO everyone // after : H3LLO 3v3ryon3 ______________ text.sourceText.replace(/e/, 3) // before : HELLO everyone // after : HELLO 3veryone _______
