After Effects

Hi everyone,I'm trying to develop a CEP panel for After Effects 2025, but it's not showing up in the application. Here's what I've done so far:I created the folder structure with manifest.xml, index.html, and main.js.The manifest.xml is configured with:xmlcopyEdit<ExtensionBundleId>com.victor.elevenaudio</ExtensionBundleId><Extension Id="com.victor.elevenaudio.panel" Version="1.0"/><Host Name="AEFT" Version="[16.0,99.0]"/><RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="12.0"/>I placed the folder at:C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.victor.elevenaudio.panelI enabled debug mode in the Windows registry:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.12]"PlayerDebugMode"=dword:00000001I restarted After Effects and still don’t see the panel under Window > Extensions (Legacy).I’ve also checked folder permissions and tried rebooting the machine, but nothing seems to work.Is there anything else that needs to be done in AE 2025 to make unsigned CEP panel

I have a LaunchKEY MINI MIDI controller. I wonder if I can use it in AE and Premiere for additional control? For example: assign a certain function to any of the keys. Or assign zoom or something else to a knob/pot. Is that even possible? Because I was thinking about buying a Stream DECK or something like that. Maybe it's not necessary if you have a MIDI controller. What do you think about it?

Il est impossible d’importer des modèles 3D ans AE si le logiciel n’est pas configuré en anglais et c’est insupportable de devoir à chaque fois redémarrer 2 fois le logiciel pour pouvoir importer des objets 3D… Vos utilisateurs ne sont pas tous aux Etats Unis…Voici l’écran que l’on obtient en essayant d’importer un .glb dans AE en français :   

Hi community. Im using Element 3D plugin by videocopilot. I have a question regarding how 3D nulls behave. If I use the Create Null by the element 3D plugin, when I rotate the null object, the shape keeps its depth.But If I use AE null object, I also need to create a camera, and parent it to the null object, but when I rotate it in 3D space, Y Position, at some point during the rotation it becomes paper thin. But this behavior doesnt happen when Element 3D makes the null. This is the example for the null which element 3D creates, also camera is not needed when I rotate this shape.  Here is the 3D depth, when I use AE null at 90 degree Y axis, and I also need to use a Camera, because without the camera, the Null isnt animating any X.Y.Z positions. just the gizmo box animates.  Appreciate your help.

Hey everyone,I’ve been messing around with some GTA San Andreas gameplay footage, and I really love that stylized, slightly gritty look the game has — the colors, the outlines, and that almost comic-book vibe in some cutscenes. I want to try recreating something similar in After Effects for a short fan animation/video.I’m curious how other After Effects users would approach this. Do you focus mostly on color grading, use edge detection or cartoon effects, or maybe add some subtle motion graphics to capture that vibe? Are there plugins or techniques that really help bring out that “GTA” style without overdoing it?Would love to hear different workflows or tips — especially if you’ve tried recreating classic game aesthetics in AE before.

Hi! So I have rendered my character and unfortunetly the hair came out flickering, can any of you think of a good way to fix it if After Effects?https://www.itamargeller.com/kumucharacterFirst video in the page, I cannot upload videos here.Thanks!

I use cc particle world and a custom image to generate particles. The particles fades in during birth. I want them to appear solid right away. How?chat bots tell me there is an opacity map with a graph I can draw on. But I cannot find this map.The red line is where that map is supposed to be. It is not there.So how do I disable the particles fade in?

Hello Adobe After Effects Team,I would like to report a reproducible issue that appears in newer versions of After Effects when using the GeoLayers 3 plugin.SummaryProjects that contain GeoLayers 3 compositions work normally in After Effects 24, but when the exact same project is opened in After Effects 25 or 26, After Effects displays PNGIO errors and the map fails to load.Error messages After Effects: AEGP Plugin PNGIO Support: PNGIO library error: bad adaptive filter value (5027::12) After Effects: AEGP Plugin PNGIO Support: PNGIO library error: IDAT: CRC error (5027::12) These errors appear when the GeoLayers map tiles are loaded.Key observation The same project file works perfectly in AE 24. Opening the project in AE 25 or AE 26 immediately triggers the PNGIO error. The issue only occurs with GeoLayers 3 content. Some other users appear able to run GeoLayers in AE 25/26 without this issue. This suggests the problem may be related to changes in the PNG decoding / ImageIO pi

Von jetzt auf gleich hat After Effects angefangen beim Warp Strabilisator nicht mehr zu analysieren.Darüber hinaus funktioniert der Dynamic Link Server scheinbar nicht mehr. Ich verknüpfe oft Adobe Premire Projekte mit After Effects Projekten.Jetzt geht gar nichts mehr.Adobe Premire spuckt nur noch einen Blackscreen aus. Davor kommt ab und zu noch Media Offline und Media pending obwohl die Pfade korrekt verknüpft sind. Teilweise werden zufällig Dateien offline angezeigt. Neuinstalkation/ Neustart/ Chache lösche/ CPU rendering Optionveränderungen haben keinen Unterschied gemacht. Manuelles Dynamic Link Server in Premire hinzufügen lässt das ganze System aufhängen. 

Hi Adobe, after updated to After Effect V.26, one of my keyboard shortcut has been broken by the latest Parametric Mesh feature.I’ve customized my “Add to Render Queue” button to "Shift + D” to my workflow, but the latest Parametric Mesh uses this shortcut. I tried to remap the Parametric Mesh to “Shift + option + D” but it keeps overiding and remapping it back to “Shift + D”. I have no choice but to remap my own shortcut for the time being, much to the detriment of my own productivity.This is extremely annoying and I would appreciate a fix as soon as possible, thank you for your attention to this matter!

The issue is that aerender commands or after effects 25.6 or 26.0 is not opening with popup of dxcore.dll not found, I have already installed latestbeta version after effects but that didnt help

If i press spacebar and let it play, it gets blurry. Using mouse for fast preview or scrubbing on timeline, everything is fine. i’m on 100% magnification percentage. Resolution on Full. Cleared my cache. Updated to the latest After Effects 2026. But still nothing is working. Was working perfectly fine but suddenly this happened. On the picture, you’ll see its pixelated while it’s playing compared to the one that’s still (maybe need a bit of a zoom-in but trust me its very noticeable. Had this on other projects as well… Its a bit annoying. 

What features would you like to see implemented in After Effects? New ideas for plugins? Interface changes? Post 'em here! Let's keep bug identification to individual posts, as these will probably be addressed more readily. Let's use this thread for specific ideas about ways that AE can be improved and expanded. These Forums are for users, not Adobe employees, so don't forget to also fill in an Adobe feature request form. To view the Wish List posts prior to September 2009, look here.

Hi,I have a CEP plugin that works great in PPRO but is having a problem in AE. I have a simple function in a jsx file to return an object. I’ve tried returning the object or even a string with JSON.stringify() but the stringify seems to fail and return nothing and the object is just a string “object object”. The same code works in PPRO. I’ve tried this on a Mac (Tahoe) and Windows 11 but they both have the same problem.All I need to do is list out all the items in the project.Has anyone else seen this problem before? I’ve tried AE 2024/25/26. Any help would be amazing as it’s very odd!

我無法在AE中使用C4D(2024 build 5) 

Rendering in Adobe After Effects CC 2017 on my gaming laptop is too slow! I have performed a test with two laptops and a desktop PC.Let's name my gaming laptop as PC1. This computer is where the slow rendering happens. It took 4 hours to render my video. Here are the specifications of my laptop:CPU: Intel Core i5-7300HQ OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)RAM: 4GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB GDDR5)The next laptop will be named as PC2. This took only 40 minutes on rendering the same video. The specifications are:CPU: Intel Core i7-5500UOS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)RAM: 8GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce 820M (4GB)The desktop PC will be named as PC3 and it took almost 50 minutes to render the same video. The specifications are:CPU: Intel Core i3-3210OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)RAM: 8GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (4GB)How can I achieve fast rendering on PC1? Two of the major reasons in buying this laptop are video and photo editing. Can AE use my GPU on rendering? Please help me how to adjust or upgrade som

There's a simple question that seems impossible to answer (at least for me).Is there a way to know all the formats supported for importing 3D cameras into After Effects?I think that C4D, .ma files, or .jsx (via a Blender add-on) are the only ways, but I'm not completely sure. Are there any other methods?Is there a place where I can find documentation on how to import cameras using these three methods?FBX, GLB, and OBJ are supported by After Effects, but only for geometry, right?Thanks in advance! I hope someone can help me with their knowledge.Thanks!!
