Hi After Effects Team, Thanks so much for your great work on the programm throughout the years. Here's one (hopefully) small thing that would make our lives easier for project backups: Please give us the option to define our own default folder names for (Footage) when collecting files through "File > Dependencies > Collect Files". My company works with an archive server that requires a file naming convention similar to web file names. Therefore it does not permit brackets and other special characters (including character spaces) in the file name structures to prevent problems between users on Macs and PCs. So this generally poses the following problems for me (I'll be using XYZ_assets as a placeholder in the following): 1) Illustrator and Photoshop files are generally imported in their own folder "XYZ_assets layers". I manually remove the character spaces and change this to "XYZ_assets_layers" every time after import, and
The "solid Composite" effect is something I use all the time (it's very handy for making sure blend modes work correctly for lighting effects). However, for some unknowable reason, the default color it's set to use is white, not black. Can this be changed to black? It would probably end up saving me (and others!) hours of work over the course of a year!
Hi, How can I make a smooth transition of the Wiggle Position effect? Currently if I start with one value of Wiggles/sec and want to transition it to another, the effect goes a bit odd and starts moving the object erratically between the values. I need to basically start Wiggle at an object at 0.5 Wiggles/sec and then have it transition at a point straight to 2 Wiggles/sec. But no matter what I do, the transition isn't smooth. If I try to hold the keyframe, it still makes the object jump briefly but noticeably before switching to 2 Wiggles/sec. Thanks,
I bought aftereffects the other day but I can't figure out how to say it when I go to the app I'm offered to buy it again who can help?
Was wondering if anyone has any samples or ideas regarding effect plugins that require other frames for processing?From what I understand, it isn't really possible to force AE to render sequentially, which is unfortunate, as in my case the processing requires processing from start->end sequentially. Is there a way to tell AE to "try to render this later" if it doesn't have the data it needs? Put simply, its a heavily optical flow based effect, that has to take into account the entire sequence, not just neigboring frames. (otherwise I know that could be a simple checkout)
Hey guys! So I need to add a sun and the flares here, I am working in Aces 1.2, 32 bpc. But whenever I try to add it to the scene, The color values goes to infinity or -inf, How do I fix this please without a bad looking clamp, Like not using levels clamp since its too bad.

Please how to fix it.
Hello!I'm experiencing an issue in After Effects where a red banner with the message "Unable to solve camera for this frame" appears across my composition. Not that I'm looking for a solution to this, but I want to turn off the warning, make it invisible. Basically, where can I find the "turn off warning banners while rendering videos" option?Thank you!
how do i fix this ?
Hi everyone,I have a workflow question regarding a 4K 50fps project that is quite heavy on effects and rather lengthy. The render times are going to be substantial on my Mac with 64GB of memory.Due to a delayed schedule and conflicts with another project on the same computer, I'm considering rendering the project in smaller segments, around one minute each, during breaks. I plan to compile these segments together later.I haven't attempted this approach before, so I wanted to ask: Is this a problematic method, or is it a normal workflow?My understanding is that I can set a work area and export each segment individually. Is there anything specific I should watch out for?Thanks in advance for your help!
According to the link below, I should be able to import these 3D file formats into After Effects, but they do not show up as available to import (grayed out), or as acceptable file formats within the dropdown list. This happens both in my After Effects 23.6.2 and After Effects 24.0.3 versions. I am on a Macbook 2012, M1 Max on Venturua 13.6.6. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/import-3d-model.html
All I've got here are those 3d rotation handles which are diagnal instead of round. How do I get back my regualr rounded handles?
Hello,I am facing issue with offset path in after effect. I have atteched video. I have latest version of after effect.
HeyI'm trying to create shape from text and I keep getting this error 👇. I've tried to reinstall Ae but to no avail. Any suggestions please? Many thanks
Adobe shot of stock video MOV file H264 codec. Plus shot of luma key result. Part of image is black on black background. I'm trying to change background to a cream color. Flower part is very detailed and there's a lot of movement. Could use rotobrush but would take days since I'd have to make frame by frame detailed adjusts and it has to perfect. Tried using luma key, color key - but get some holes in the black sleeve. Played with threshold, tolerence etc. No luck. Linear, color key turns sleeve white. Also every work around I can think of. Video attached. Been at this for 4 straight days. Combed through everything on internet and out of ideas. I'd be terribly grateful for your help (plus it's driving me crazy that I haven't been able. to figure this out!!). Many thanks in advance.
is there a way to dissect a video, to find out the effects and elements used in a video in the after effect.https://youtu.be/w1rPbc_H13w
So I downloaded this template for my current project in After Effects, but it turns out that some of the layers in the timeline look like this, and I don't know how to edit it. Can anyone please help me with that?
Let's say I have a composition with 50+ layers and the majority of them have keyframes. If I need to select all the keyframes across a certain duration, I have to click and drag down past the bottom of the composition panel to trigger the scroll down so I can select other layers' keyframes. Sometimes this can be very laggy and I find myself rolling my eyes and waiting until it automatically scrolls all the way to the bottom. It would be nice to also be able to use my scroll wheel to just quickly scroll all the way to the bottom while selecting keyframes. This would help by not disrupting my flow and save me time in animation.
Hi everyone I need to do some zoom in into a very complex and highly detailed AI illustration. Unfortunately I can't share it because it's for a client project but it's basically a isometric view of a city with hundreds of buildings, trees, cars, streets and characters. All objects have a thin black stroke around them. I imported the AI file and tried to zoom in but on a lot of objects, the contours are flickering like crazy. Continous Rasterization is on and I set the antialiasing option in "Interpret Footage -> More" to "More Accurate". But it didn't help. I also tried to apply 2 px of Gaussian Blur but that didn't help either. For testing, I imported the illustration into an 8K photoshop file and tried the same zoom with the PSD file. That worked very well but I would like to keep the flexibility of using a vector graphic. Is there anything else I could try? My Comp Settings are 1920 x1080 / 25fps
hi, how can i see list of effects in afe that use gpu?
Hi gang; I am developing a plug-in that requires heavy downscaling without using Transform_World. My tests with bilinear are not good enough (leads to heavy aliasing) and bicubic is quite slow. So I was wondering if anyone knew what type of pixel interpolation Transform_world uses? The results are quite good and I'd like to apply a similar approach. Thanks in advance,Richard
Has After Effects gone all the way to version 24 without a built in composition helper – similar to the ones in Cinema 4D, or is it buried deeper than I have looked so far?
So, I'm importing layers from Toon Boom Harmony into After Effects for compositing. All the layers have the exact-same export settings. Regardless, 3 of the 11 layers import with "Alpha Ignored" while the rest are "Premultiplied." I've tried changing the file type for one of the layers just to test, and it still loads in with "Alpha Ignored". Is there a way to force Premultiplied imports in AE or some other kind of workaround, because I don't think the issue is in the settings for Toon Boom since all the export settings for all layers are the same. I don't really know how helpful the TB screenshot is, but you can at least see the file type I'm working with.
