After Effects

Once it goes blank, it stays blank whether we search anything or not.I am on MacOS Sequoia 15.4 | After Effects 25.2.0 (Build 131)

Issue:16-bit RPF image files causes AE to crash.No error message shows up and no crash log is generated in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\<version>\logsAE only crashes when importing 16-bit RPF. Importing 8-bit RPF works. Other image settings have no impact.All versions of AE from 24.6.5 to latest are affected.Importing the images in version 24.6.4 works.Can't attach sample files because the forum doesn't support RPF. But the images were generated using Cinema 4D by selecting RPF in "Render Settings > Save > Format" and setting "Depth" to either "8 Bit/Channel" or "16 Bit/Channel". Version numbers:From 24.6.5 to 25.2.0 Operating system:Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Steps to reproduce:1. Open AE.2. Import a 16-bit RPF image file.3. Add the image to a new composition.

In Teresa's original post about the AE Benchmark Project, the link to download the project itself is broken. (I assume this is an unintended casualty of the recent-ish cloud storage change). I commented on the post itself a few weeks ago, but I haven't yet seen a response, and have gotten a handful of folks messaging me directly about obtaining the project.Ideal: A more official page hosting this and other relevant AE projects / info. I know the "scores" posted by other users will get outdated as time passes, but that still seems like useful information for users to have access to, and could probably be made far more discoverable.

[Moderator: Updated title for clarity and making searching easier. This issue also affects Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.]   A month ago I updated my 2021 MacBook Pro to the latest Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1 and that's when I began experiencing render issues when rendering H.264 from After Effects (2024 & 2025) or Media Encoder (2024 & 2025). The render plays back okay but when I scrub through, but when I scrub through the timeline, in AE, Quicktime, Frame.io, etc, I notice every 4th or so frame has terrible artifacting. I've been able to work around this for a month by sending ProRes LT to my clients, however now a client is asking for a H264 so I'm stuck trying to figure this out or encode it on an old MacBook that still has an older MacOS version.    If it helps at all, I've noticed when turning Audio Off when rendering through Media Encoder, the problem goes away, but obviously that's not a real solution. Anybody else have this issue and found a fix?   I'm

After installing 25.2.2 all type is now italics.  The issue does not extend to premiere - using the type tool there gives normal type.  but everything i type in AE is now in italics immediately followinng the update

Hallo! Windows 11 Pro.AE 25.2.2 (Build 2)Projekt:OCIOACES 1.2 / both 1.332 bitWorkingSpace ACES CG Der Color Picker für Kontur im "neuen" Eigenschaften Bedienfeld "Text" pickt den Wert für Füllung z.B. RGB 3,3,3 nur als RGB 0.9373,0.9373,0.9373 - müsste aber 3.3.3 sein.Das ist auch anders rum so, also Füllung bei Kontur picken.Abhängig vom Anzeige Farbraum können auch andere falsche Werte entstehen. Mit den selben pickern die Werte aus dem Original Text Bedienfeld picken funktioniert.Im Original Text Bedienfeld funktionieren beide Picker wie man es erwartet.. Ist nicht wahnsinnig wichtig, aber schöner wärs ja, wenn es richtig funktioniert. Liebe Grüße!Matthias

I have tried changing the text colors, resetting characters but nothing works. Its happening after the latest update

I can see that this has popped up often in the past, but specifically in my case, it's related to importing Premiere Pro timelines into AE when there are keyframes on media: In the past couple of weeks, I have seen it caused by keyframes in Premiere on:Time-remappingOpacityTransformI have a hard time reproducing it at will, so there is something about either (1) the number of keyframes. (2) The location in the media of the keyframes. In particular, Time-remapping keyframes near the beginning of end of media might be a trigger. (3) Possibly a MacOS to Windows thing? Editors are on Macs, After Effects artists are on Windows boxes.In this current job that I am working, any media time-remapped by the Editor will trigger the error, but sometimes it's something else like Opacity keyframing. Windows 11 - AE 25.1

Hallo, seit dem heutigen Update auf Version 25.2.0,ist es leider nicht mehr möglich mit *.rpf Files zu arbeiten. Ich kann die Files wie gewohnt, ganz normal importieren,aber sobald ich die ID Maske der Files verwenden möchte,stürzt After Effects sofort ab. Dies ist auch unabhängig vom Betriebssystem,weil ich das Problem unter Win10 und Win 11 habe.

Bonjour,Je travaille sur un projet video très simple sur AE (fullHD pour insta, rien de compliqué ni de gourmand en resource) mais AE crash systématiquement au moment pdt les preview RAM (en resolution demi à 50% de la taille, je ne peux même pas faire de preview integrale à 100%).Il semblerait que le probleme ne se produise pas quand je n'ai pas de fichier video dans mon projet.Le crash est etrange, je peux cliquer sur l'interface, mais elle ne réagit plus et je ne peux pas fermer le projet sans hardReboot via le finder.J'ai deja reinitilisé les prefs de multiples fois et autorisé l'accès complet au disque comme on le recommande pour Sequoia mais rien n'y fait.Merci d'avance pour votre aide ! Informations matériel :  Nom du modèle : MacBook Pro  Identifiant du modèle : Mac16,6  N° du modèle : Z1FG000MQFN/A  Puce : Apple M4 Max  Nombre total de cœurs : 16 (12 performance et 4 efficacité)  Mémoire : 128 Go  Versi

I recently switched from MacOS to Windows. My new Setup is alot better than my old one. Yet the AE player is lagging. It runs on very low fps maybe like 5 fps even with very small animations. I know it isnt a Hardware problem and i can't seem to get it fixxed. Ive tried alot of Youtube tutorials but nothing helped. Ive linked a Video to what it looks like. Please help.

Hello. I'm building a script UI panel as part of an extension that involves keyboard controls. I believe I've encountered a fundamental bug with the .preventDefault function/method, at least when assigned as an event listener to an edittext control object. In short, it only works on Mac—the method appears to be non-functional on Windows. I've built a stripped-down derivative of the script I'm building that you can use to reproduce this bug at will. Below are screenshots of the panel on Mac and Windows and the differing behaviours.   Mac:After Effects 24.6.1 - Ventura 13.7.3 (Intel)Windows:After Effects 25.1.0 - Windows 10 Example .jsx Script UI Panel:  /* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * PreventDefaultTest.jsx * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- */ // Initialize globals and panelNSs (namespace) if (typeof $.globals === "undefined") { $.globals = {}; } if (typeof

I've been having problems with the puppet tool in AE 2025 for a bit now, even when trying to autotrace a png or a simple image, autotrace seems to get stuck at 50% with the "remaining time" going up indefinitely and never finishes, thus not letting me use the puppet tool to animate. Anyone else having this problem or know of a workaround? thanks!

I'm using renderItem.timeSpanDuration = comp.frameDuration;  in a script that  renders out still images from comps.  works fabulous in OSX.But in windows, something wonky is occuring, for example when it's a 25fps comp,  it applies a value, such as 0.04000000, it accepts the value, but when I have the script check what value is stored,  the value is changed to 0.040006514! resulting in a duration of 0002 (rendering out two frames),   sometimes it causes it to render a frame too soon, or not, reslts vary depending on comp frame rates.  Havent figured out the logic.  But on Mac OSX, if it applies 0.04000000, it reads back a perfect 0.04000000,.I attemped to alter the script to round out the number, but no luck.  I thought perhaps if I entered a value lower than 0.04 it might be counter the offset, but AE didn't accept that. since this does not occur on Mac, I'm guessing it might be a bug in AE or some windows anomoly?any ideas?

Drop down menus are buggy and/or nonfunctional. For instance: •In the character palette, choosing fonts via the font family dropdown works, but not with the typeface dropdown. You can select an option via the arrow keys, but not with the cursor. •The dropdown menu that allows you to select a specific comp from open comps (two right facing arrows in the top right corner of the comp window) does not work with the cursor. You can engage the menu with the cursor, but selecting a comp does nothing. You must instead uses the arrow keys to navigate the list and then select with enter. Various dropdown menus across the software behave similarly. AE - 25.2.0Mac OS 15.3.2 SequoiaMacbook Pro M4 Max

Use Roto Brush 1, 2, or 3 on any length of footage, be it a sequence, MOV, or other wrapper type, and after masking, save the roto by clicking "Freeze." 4.) Expected result: saving the matte, so After Effects doesn't keep using computer resources to endlessly re-propagate mattes it has already made. *Actual result: After Effects crashes, every single time.The Roto Brush 3 is pretty good at maintaining animated shapes, but it doesn't save when I click "Freeze." I am working on 4K footage, which I shifted from uncompressed/RAW to JPEG files. I used Roto Brush 3 on a 110 second clip. It did rather well, and I did some cleanup, and after saving my project, I went to "Freeze" the Roto Brush, so it would preserve the shapes.I have tried this multiple times, including with Roto Brush 2 and 1 (nowhere near a

After effect updating AE to 25.01, it keeps giving errors and crashing, I can't do anything, I can't render. I'm about to go crazy, please someone help me, I deleted and reinstalled it many times but the problem didn't change.      

After updating AE to 25.0.1, I can't change any text to another font in the AE project file.I used for my name in the AE file a different font than other names in the same font, but since 25.0.1 I've error messages when I want to change any fonts. I've installed these fonts correctly on my pc and in the older versions I don't have these problems.I've tried to downgrade to version 25.0 but the problems are still there after downgrading AE.How can I fix this problem? Do I need to reinstall AE?
