After Effects

I exported the project from premiere pro to after effect. That's how he started to look( 1 screenshot)/ pre compose 1 Only it wasn't Then I selected everything and made a pre-compose(pre-comp 1) and put 2 adjustment layers on top Then I opened pre-comp 1 and wanted to continue working with layers, but none of the superimposed effects were displayed, and if I do a pre-compose of fragments inside pre-comp1 (1 screenshot) and go inside, it shows the entire video track as a whole and not a fragment)как видите здесь, на 4-м скриншоте, в превью есть еще одна картинка, это не видео, поэтому я не могу его показать, но по факту это не фрагмент, который я отправил на прекомпозицию, а весь видеорядИсправление. Я прошу объяснить, что я сделал не так, из-за чего у меня возникли эти 2 проблемы: 1 При предварительной компоновке фрагмента весь видеоряд находится внутри него. 2 При добавлении эффектов эффект не применяется к композиции (я делал это раньше, в других проектах все было нормально).

If I enable video preview to one of my two desktop monitors for any project with any codec and color depth, the display is upside down. It's not a system or driver problem. On Windows 11, lastest release version (but it's done since 2024 beta but never fixed), latest Studio drivers RTX 2080Ti AE 2022: Works as expectedAE 2023: Works as expectedAE 2024: Flipped (all releases)AE current Beta: Flipped. Turning off GPU acceleration fixes problems. I also have BlackMagic Intensity card to external OLED but this does not work in Adobe apps anymore expect pre 2021 releases. Deleting caching and prefs don't do a damn thing nor does reinstalls. Clearly a bug. I expected it to be fixed in the releases but it has not.

Hello, I have a PremierePro plugin (macOS arm64/x86_64) that loads/works OK in Premiere. I am now trying to use/debug it for use in AfterEffects. In "Plugin Loading.log", it seems to load OK (see log excerpt below) but then it is not shown in the UI, nor in "Effect | Manage Effects..." nor in "Effect" menu. If I load it from an other program, dependencies seems to be there, signature is OK. Perhaps, there is an issue with the PiPL resources (they are close to the Checkout sample ones) or a missing entry point (I have EffectMain, PluginDataEntryFunction2 and xGPUFilterEntry). If I reset the preferences and launch AE under a Debugger, I hit PluginDataEntryFunction2 so it is loading. Thanks in advance. David  Begin PluginNameList::AddFolder /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore 0 PluginNameList::AddFilePath - added "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/Scatter.plugin" 0 Finished P

Hopefully this is possible, i have an aspect of an animation, a light sweep in fact that i want to be unaffected by Resposive design, as it spans the entire animation and i want it at a consistent speed regardless of how long the clip ultimatley is - I am using this animation as a MOGRT to be taken to Premiere.

I'm animating a large number of menu screens for a client (100+ projects & exported video files)Each video is essentially a short piece of footage followed by a static (ish-background elements "wiggle") screen with the menu content on it. - I have the menu content as a static pre-comp which I insert into an animated background comp and do a basic opacity fade to bring the menu content in.Each menu item displays the Item, Kcals, Price, description & a set of Icons denoting healthy choises and dietry indications (vegetarian etc) - Screenshot attached for clarification I have 2 questions to aid in my workflow:- Is there a way to save Paragraph & Character styles as per InDesign to keep spacing consistent and make formatting the menu quicker - if this is possible is it possible to import these styles from one project to another?- Is there away to align icons to text baselines (currently these are imported PNG icons) or insert them inline with the text layerFormatting the text l

Not much more to say about this. The home screen list of 'Recents' doesn't respond when clicked using a Wacom tablet / pen, but when using the mouse responds as expected by opening that project.  Wacom Intuos Pro MediumMac OS X 12.6.6AE 23.4.0 (build 53)

Hello, This morning I noticed something which I struggle to find a good reason for happening. It happens when setting up an animation of nothing but vector paths. When animating these paths, I want them to do so from one 'state' to the next. Due to the very limited control of the Path property of a Shape layer in After Effects, I first build these states in Illustrator – import these Illustrator files, and after making a whole setup with the Create Nulls from Paths plugin, animate the null-positions going from point to point.Here's the catch: some path points of these shapes overlap. When converting these imported paths into vector shapes, and then select the Points Follow Nulls option in the Create Nulls from Paths, I notice that these overlapping points suddenly are not present anymore. A shape of 10 points, when imported, leaves 6 Nulls coupled to the Shape layer. It looks like one point which had multiple (4) path points overlapping has been stripped of the rema

Hi, I am new to Adobe After Effects, having finished the tutorials offered by AE.The idea I want to make is a ink / calligraphy animation that starts off with an ink droplet splashing and dispersing onto the composition, then a downward brush stroke emerges from the ink blot. Which draws downwards continuously.Visual Diagram: I want the brush stroke to continuously flow down and the camera locks on and follows the travelling end of the brush stroke.-I have the brush and ink blot set up already.-The problem I am facing is:I have no idea how to lock the camera onto the head brush stroke,The continuous brush stroke goes past the composition boundary, and would get cut off.

After Effects crashes while working, especially with a little complex situations.In this case, I am applying Warp & Transform Effects with expressions multiple times on a layer, to create a squash & stretch effect in every direction as shown in this tutorial:https://youtu.be/aSaN4yEbp7I?si=KuyGvQ2X0NRCE_RCMy PC Specs:i9 14th genRam: 64 gbGraphics: Rtx 4070tiStorage & C: is on SSD NVMe M4, 2 GB.I have attached the screenshots.Please help.Thanks,Nikunj Shukla

Hey everyone!  I am a beginner but have previously worked with After Effects before. I've come across an issue recently that I have not been able to resolve (the support agent via remote screen aid wasn't able to resolve either), the issue is with CC Particle Systems II where upon dragging it + CC Composite onto a text, the particles do not seem to be functioning in a flow from left to right, but rather 'upwards' instead.  I've attached a screenshot of a side-by-side tutorial I am following for a text sand effect.  The left is the actual video I am following through up to around 4:14 on the timeframe. The right is my workflow space where I have replicated all the same options they have inputted into the effect, however the result is completely different where the particles are pointed upwards in a continuous cone rather than a 'scattering' flow like in the video. This is not the first time I have followed this tutorial and achieved the effect a few ye

I want to mask off cc lightburst applied to a shape layer to get rid of the light rays which go outside of the shape. I could manually go in and draw a mask, however I'm looking at repeating this process for many many shapes, and so I'm wondering if I would be able to somehow copy the path of the shape layer and apply it as a mask? I attached a screenshot of what I'm working with below. Thanks!! 

I'm following the 'animate a logo' tutorial in 'the basics' on aftereffects. I'm at the 'create complex movement through parenting' section. on 'realistic motion using position'. It's telling me to move the handle of the section position, but there is no handle to move. I'm trying everything I can but the handle is not there.Attached image for reference. How can I make the handle appear?

I really hope someone can help me with this. I'm putting together ananimation and I'm applying a hand-drawn effect to the linework. I'm doing this on an adjustment layer above all the layers I want to change. At exactly 22 seconds (I've tried it on a few Comps), the effect stops working and just freezes, Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

Hi, what the h*** is going on with AE 23? Since I have the latest version I have problem with h264 files. All project files converted to newest verision doesn't read h264 format. Only files what I've created in AE 23 are good. What about my all projects created before?! I removed user preferences, uinstalled and installed few times AE and encoder, and the problem is still there. I wasted a lot of time.   [NOTE: The title of this discussion has been changed by the moderator to include version number]

Does anyone know how to recreate circeling text animations such as the attached one here?I've used the text animator options for my attempts of recreating this but I haven't figured out how to delay the rotating position for each letter.

Ive recently bought AE and i want to render in WMV format for my editin software but when i go to click on add to media encoder queue it says this:https://gyazo.com/f3d60ba0543461f95a3a32e35589201dAnd when i type in the link it says there is no download link for that plugin.PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE ME WITH A DOWNLOAD LINK OR HELP METhanks Lewis

Hi all,I am new to After Effects and I am using the 2018 version. I have watched the lynda.com introduction videos to after effects and read articles as well. when I open up the after effects and I import an image, it just refuses to populate on my screen. Below is a screen shot of the image I just getting. Is something wrong with my setting? am i missing something? please help me out.

Hello everyoneAs designers, we create many projects and archive them. Sometimes, we need to revisit them, but perhaps we forget the content. It would be nice if Adobe could create an option that allows designers to see the preview without opening projects. This would save designers a lot of time.

Do you guys know what's happening here? I'm following a tutorial to the tee and I'm not sure why mine is different from Hieu Vu's. He duplicated the first wave layer and put it on top and changed the blending mode to darker color. I want the light blue to appear in and out on the thin white wave as its moving, but it's just covering the white wave. Interestingly, when I change wave 4 to a light yellow, it works. However, thats not the color that I want. I want the light blue to appear on the white wave, not yellow. I've tried precomposing wave 4 and the white wave layer and used the darker color blending mode but that doesn't work either. This is the tutorial that I'm following: https://youtu.be/xE4ItYkaITs?si=zJTDclkXUM9lUDVa 

I was handed a project from someone else and can't figure out how to undo a default setting that's imposed on the renders. In the Render Queue, I'm seeing my [Comp Name].File Extension, which is how I'd like it saved (image 01). I'm aware that when I click the dropdown to the left of my output, I can select "Comp Name" and set as default, which I've tried (image 02). But it's not saving like that, it's defaulting to saving in a subfolder with a completely different naming structure (image 03). I have to manually select the file name in the render queue and deselect "save to subfolder" and rename the file there. What am I missing? This does not seem to be the case with all comps in the project, only certain ones... but I'm trying to learn more about how to undo this process mostly for future reference (and because it's annoying for this project). Thanks!Jeremy

I have generated a 3D Tracker Camera and a Track Solid (blue rectangle). I have then imported an image (greyish square). I would now like to match the tracking date of that Track Solid. Also, if possible, I would like to match the size and orientation of the greyish square to the size and orientation of the Track Solid. Can this be done, and if yes, any idea how? Thanks

Hi guys,I'm somewhat new to After Effects and I'm wondering how to setup a good workflow for my problem. I have more experience with Illustrator and Photoshop, so forgive me if I have the wrong expectations on how to use After Effects.My problem:I have 40+ text layers that need to be animated independently at specific times (I'm using an audio track waveform to know when to animate). The animation should be the same for each text element, so I can create an Animation Preset that I can apply to each text layer at the time set by current timeline cursor position. Great, I don't have to repeat the same animation so many times. First part of the problem solved.The animation preset I'm applying to the text is called "Blink". It has 4 keyframes for color and 4 for scale. These take place in less that 0.5s. The color goes (black, yellow, yellow, black), the scale goes (100, 150, 150, 100), for each respective keyframe.Now, after appllying the animation to all 40+ text layers, I need to be abl
