After Effects

What is the reason this “I” like icons are in front of play head. is there any way to hide this? . This icons are smothering keyframes [KF] when play head is over the KF.   

I’ve been using CC Glass in some texts, and it was working fine until I added the effect to… just another composition with texts. It doesn’t make much sense, I know.The compositions are basically copies of each other, just with other text content, and I’ve checked the Bump Map, and each layer is using its respective map.I’ve tried applying the CC Glass effect to each individual character (that is inside the composition), and it does work. But it also changes a little bit my animation, which I didn’t want to happen.The strangest part: when I render the video, the accent in the ‘é’ changes in the middle of the animation?? And the CC Glass is only applied to part of the layer???I’m attaching the video and the file, for reference. I thank in advance if anyone helps me figure it out.

After Effects Versions 22.5 to 24.2.1Operating System: Windows 11 ProMemory: 96GB DDR5 RAMGraphics Card: Asus TUF RTX 4080 OC with Studio Driver version 551.61Processor: AMD 7950X (Note: I've disabled the integrated GPU to allow Premiere to decode ProRes Raw. If not disabled, I encounter a decoding error. This workaround, which I found in an Adobe Community forum thread titled "ProRes RAW can't be decoded" (Thread ID: 13123838), has been a temporary fix for nearly two years, yet a permanent resolution is still pending.) All other ProRes Codec's work FlawlesslyIn my project configured with OCIO color management set to Aces 1.2, importing ProRes Raw clips operates smoothly unless I precompose or add any effects. When effects like Lumetri Color are added, the preview freezes, and actions like purging RAM and cache or closing the project cause After Effects to crash.

I just switched over from Mac to a PC. The switch was quite a major upgrade from a 2017 iMac to a very high end PC.Old 2017 iMac Specs: Processor: 4.2 ghz quad core intel core i7Graphics: Radeon Pro 580 8GbMemory: 64Gb 2400mhz DDR4Storage: 2tb SSDNew PC Specs: Operating System: Windows 11CPU: AMD R9 9950X3DGraphics: Nvidia RTX 5090 32GBRAM: 64Gb DDR5 6000Mhz RGBHard Drive: 4tb NVMe Gen4CPU Cooler: 360mm AIO4 FansMotherboard: X870Power Supply: 1200W Gold ATX 3.0 This is a brand new computer. Storage is completely free, hardware check shows all components running smoothly, and After Effects has zero additional plug ins installed as of now. It’s just the base download from the suite. As of this post, I downloaded After Effects on May 12, 2026. Current version is 26.2.1 When I open up an AE project and begin to do rotoscope edits, the entire system basically freezes and preview renders begin to play at a horrifically slow speed. I’ve tried clearing the cache on all forms, increasing the ca

Hi, Scince updating to the latest version  25.3.2 and something weird happened. I re named a file and it went missing of course. So I re linked it and saved the Ae files.But every single time I open the Ae file, I keep getting the same missing files msg and I have to re link it EVERY SIGNLE TIME. I tried saving a new file version but it's the same. I just installed a fresh windows 11 today and got the same thing!! Help please

Seemingly recently, dynamic linking is no longer working. Issues:Multiple AE files in premiere are forever pending Premiere requires me to open AE before opening premiere project in order for any previously linked files to open If premiere timeline contains multiple AE files, only one will load while the others remain pending or even offline, requiring a consolidation of all AE files into one AE file  Even when dynamic linked files are active on timeline, the export occasionally will show them offlineHas anyone else experienced this?

When i put 1800x1800 as composition it becomes more of a rectangle than a square even if my pixel aspect ratio is on square pixels. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is this additionally paid extension or included in Ae subscription?   

Havent used after effects for awhile, when I doubled clicked before it use to fill the window with anything else going to a tab. Now it opens a new window beside the composition window which makes it small I dont need to see the composition window just what I am working on. 

I’m in Free Transform, is there any way to shear or skew the bounding box?  

For some reason, I cannot use the 3D camera tracker anymore. It worked fine on my last project. I’ve tried to track multiple clips to no avail. It doesn’t move past “Initializing.” After a while, I get an error that reads “timed out obtaining dynamiclink server” even if it’s a standalone project that isn’t connected to Premiere. I’m using AE v 26.2.1. Anyone know how to fix this?

God, I have no idea why i keep crashing, I didn’t have anything complicated, no script. Just come footages and simple composition.Anyone can help ?

I encountered a serious UI bug in After Effects affecting the Timeline panel switches.After using the new Angular tool / Bone Structure workflow (possibly related), certain layer switch controls in the Timeline panel became completely unresponsive. Specifically, the Switches area (including Shy, Solo, visibility and other switch icons) appears visually active, but clicking any switch only highlights the entire switches region with a selection outline instead of toggling the actual switch state.The controls behave as if the Timeline panel is frozen, while the rest of After Effects continues to function normally.What I already tried:Restarting After Effects Clearing cache Resetting workspace Renaming the composition Opening different projects/compositions Restarting the computer Testing other Timeline layoutsNothing resolved the issue.This may possibly be related to running DUIK/Angular rigging tools or to a GPU/UI rendering issue. I am using anMy specifications:Windows 11NVIDIA RTX 3060

Honestly, sometimes I think it is done on purpose. Why in gods name would this be the case after a minor update?I'm in full deadline mode now, my pc/mac updated and can't open my projectfile now!!!this is sick! 

Whenever I open aftereffects, it pops up with this message saying it couldn’t open GPUSniffer or something. AE has worked fine for about a year, and this is the first time its started happening, but it stops me from getting in or doing anything. GPU: AMD Ryzen RX 9060 XTCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

it’s this warning, may be some castomization wrong?

This has been broken for AGES Adobe... FIX IT.Just comes down to really bad code quality / poor software verification testing.

I downloaded the "Hand-Drawn Titles" mogrt (AdobeStock_230451463) from Adobe Stock, and I can't open it in AE. In fact, it is grayed out in Finder when I do try to import it. I'm using the latest versions of all Adobe products AE and Premer Pro still not opeing any suggestions Thanks. 

For the past week, I have been having issues with After Effects opening up.  It gets stuck on the splash screen and then stops responding after it Initializes Audio Devices.  I’ve always had issues with this program, but usually one of the usual tricks would get it working.  Downgrading to an earlier version, using the clean up tool (that doesn’t actually clean up everything), running as administrator, running with windows 8 compatibility, updating to the new drivers, downgrading to past drivers. I manually deleted every trace of adobe from my computer, and only then did it work briefly a few days ago.  However, I have not been able to get it working since.  I repeated the same steps I took the first time, but nothing.  And now I’ve been troubleshooting for the past 5-6 hours because I have a project I need to work on.I’ve tried all of the versions that are currently available on the creative cloud.  The only one that I got working, briefly, was version 26.0.  I’m on Windows 10, have a

When I use face tracking in After Effects 2026, all the markers disappear after tracking! What's wrong? It works fine in After Effects 2024.All those marker is no showing or no response after the tracking finished 

  It can be really frustrating when After Effects starts misbehaving. One of the most efficient ways to fix this is to reset After Effects preference files. Trashing preferences resets the program to its factory defaults.   Resetting preferences will undo most of your customization such as length of your default transitions, brightness of the user interface, labels colors, changes that you've made to your audio hardware settings and more. Some changes won't be affected though, such as changes that you've made to memory allocation for After Effects and other Adobe apps, new workspaces that you've created and some other stuff. It's worth noting that changes that you've made to existing workspaces (changes such as resizing panels and moving them) will be reset to defaults.   Preferences that you set for scratch disks, however, are saved with your projects. Whenever you open a project, it automatically defaults to the scratch disks you selected for it when you set up that p
