After Effects

i have two main problems, which i literally have no idea how to fix. each time i open ae, i have to press alt+shift+ctrl while opening it, otherwise the program will crash. my second problem is when i open any project file, the project file just crashes. it doesnt even load or anything, just gives me the unexpected error popup and closes me out of the program. ive searched this problem up and tried many things and it still can't get fixed.

Whenever I open a specific project in AE I get a Missing Font dialog, but the text layers in the project do not seem to be using that stated missing font (Replica). The project is a MOGRT that has 4 text layers. One is a master layer ("Caption Text") which is used in the EG panel to have the user type in the text and change the font properties. The other three layers have the following expression on the Source Text property to display the text from the master layer:sourceTextProperty = thisComp.layer("Caption Text").text.sourceText; newStyle = sourceTextProperty.getStyleAt(0,0); newStyle.setText(sourceTextProperty);When I search for "missing font" in the Timeline panel Search box, the three "sub" layers are shown.  All text layers show they are using Roboto in the Character panel when I select them individiually or as a group. Where else could the missing font be hiding?

Last week I took this GLTF file from Envato elements https://elements.envato.com/3d-golf-illustration-AK77GX7 and dragged it raw into my After Effects project with no issue!!! fast forward to this week, I tried to import this GLTF into After effects https://elements.envato.com/sport-3d-illustration-RR3ZXUY and it told me "After effects error: could not load". Why not? Whats the difference between this GLTF and the other? Does it accept some GLTF files but not others? UPDATE: private message from adobe stated "One thing I'm noticing is that there are no related files for the .objs or the .gltfs. Objs need an .mtl file and a folder of textures (pngs or jpegs) to map to and gltf files typicapply have a .bin file and a folder full of textures to map to."

For example a script or something to lets say apply opacity from 100 to 0 starting on 1st frame of clip and ending on last not having to do it manually because all the clips are different lenght?

Hi all. Can someone explain to me the logic of shifting layers when changing the size of the composition?It always seemed to me that it was done like this, but I don’t get the same result as when changing the size of the composition through the interface var comp = app.project.activeItem; var w = comp.width; var h = comp.height; var nW = 1920; var nH = 1080; var x = nW / w; var y = nH / h; writeLn(x) writeLn(y) var layer = comp.layer(1); var position = layer.position; var anchor = layer.anchorPoint position.setValue([position.value[0] * x, position.value[1] * y]); comp.width = nW; comp.height = nH; 

Hi I have a trim path and an object that I would like to follow the tip of the trimpath. I believe something goes wrong with the conversion of layer-posistion to comp-position. Here's the expression i'm using: var path = thisComp.layer("cable").content("Group 1").content("Path 1").path;var trimPath = thisComp.layer("cable").content("Group 1").content("Trim Paths 1").end/100;var targetLayer = thisComp.layer("cable"); var point = path.pointOnPath(trimPath); targetLayer.toComp(point);

Hi there, just looking for a bit of guidance here. I am looking to animate some illustrations, I usually use quite a bit of texture and blending modes for lighting (usually I would do this in photoshop but going to do it entirely in illustrator since the client wants SVG). Is it possible to export an animation from after effects with noise/ grain effects to SVG? Or would those elements be raster based? I am aware that I would need to use the Bodymovin or similar plugin to export the SVG, but I just want to make sure you can get decent textures etc to export as SVG? Or is it a better approach to create the animation in Animate and export SVG from there? I have no experience with Animate but would give it a go if it’s the best solution for achieving the effects I want.  Thanks in advance 

We always make animations in AE and export to .mp4.However, we'd like to learn how to import our AE project in to a software programme and export to .SVG (export to SVG from AE would be nice)What is the correct work flow for this task? And indeed, what is the correct Adobe package or other?Animated GIFs and .swf files aren't quite right.This is just for simple animated logos for the time being. On a transparent layer even. Are SVGs limited to line art?All help appreciated!Matt

Na versão do AE24, o source text quando utilizado com expressões não tem uma boa performance, fica travando o preview e o programa. Baixei a versão mais antiga (AE23) para testar e o mesmo projeto funcionou perfeitamente sem travamentos.A Adobe deveria atualizar o After Effects 2024 para solucionar esse problema.---In the AE24 version, the source text when used with expressions does not perform well, causing the preview and program to crash. I downloaded the older version (AE23) to test and the same project worked perfectly without any crashes.Adobe should update After Effects 2024 to resolve this issue.

I've got a tricky one. More than one of my text layers are not visually in the correct position, although their position property is set to the correct position value and the bounding box sits in that correct position value as well. It is the result of an expression that I use often, which I've added here:t = thisComp.layer(4); p = t.transform.yPosition; r = t.sourceRectAtTime().height/2; s = t.transform.scale[0]/100; m = 40; t2 = thisComp.layer(2); p2 = t2.transform.yPosition; r2 = t2.sourceRectAtTime().height/2; s2 = t2.transform.scale[0]/100; m2 = 10; clamp(p - (s*r) - m,p2 + (s2*r2) + m2,thisComp.height/2) De-activating this expression solves the problem, along with soloing the layer itself. I've reset the text properties, tried variations of every possible character and paragraph property to no avail. Here's a screenshot of the issue (asdf is the text layer in question):  Any idea on a fix for this? I've purged the cache, restarted my PC and AE, etc. I don't t

Hi Everybody, I have a situation where I need to extract a pine needle wreath from a white background. It's a pretty clear pop, except for the shadows. The shadows are not budging and I can't seem to find a way to remove them with out it affecting the core of the wreath, and trying to 'garbage matte' the stems of the tree back in would be...horrendous. At that point it's cancel the wreath, insert snowflake instead.  I've attached an image to demonstrate what I mean, if anybody has any suggestions, I appreciate it. Thanks for reading!

a low level exception occurred premiere in ae.adbe text ErrorCan anyone give me a solution to apply this transition on the clips without getting this error. 

There was an error reading the mxf file in the recent updates to After Effect 23.2 and Media Encoder 23.2.Link is broken for mxf files pre-imported to the project.An error message occurs when importing a new mxf file, saying it is not supported.The file has a preset of MXFOP1a XDCAM HD 50 NTSC 60i, and the codec is XDCAMHD 50NTSC (4:2:2) file.This codec is the standard setting used by my company.The same file will be read normally in Premier Pro's latest update, 23.1.It also works fine with AfterEffect 23.1, the previous version update of AfterEffect.Currently, all Users in my company are experiencing the same issue. I asked the local customer center in Korea about the issue, but I couldn't get a proper answer.

I learned Premiere before After effects and the import will not reveal MP4 video. Instead its black. Audio is working. 

Hello, it seems i can't change colour of text after i have added a mask and changed/animated the text position. Before this it does change. I want to add the option to change the colour of the text when adding to a template. Any ideas? It might be something simple i haven't turned off or on. It's the SNE2 Composition. Thank you.

AE creates illegal folders in windows when naming a comp with a . (dot) at the end of the comp name and exporting to an image sequence.THESE FOLDERS CAN NOT BE DELETED!!!!!!BE AWARE BEFORE INITIATING THESE STEPSthe folders are corrupt and can not be deleted!!!1. create comp with name comp. ( dot at the end of name )2. export to a drive as png sequence in a folder3. look for the path in the export que ( is some cases it will not create a path )when it does pres render4. there will be an error but the filder with the dot at the end is created.5. this folder can NOT be deleted and I have not found another opion but formatting the drive( which in my case is no option )

I'm currenly working on a script which uses Dropdown Menu Control effect. I can use this Match Name : "ADBE Dropdown Control" to add Dropdown menu to a layer.But If I want to check whether a layer contains dropdown menu using this same Match Name it doesn't work well. I've tried alert the matchName of existing Dropdown Menu. It randomly changes something like "Pseudo/@@qpFySX4lSVK41BTpoPU+jA"  How to verify If a layer or multiple layers have dropdown menu added in it by it's matchName?

I'm quite experienced with AE. I've encountered a strange bug on a AE expression. I had to use a hack to solve it. I'm almost sure that such a hack wasn't necessary in the past. => Can someone try to reproduce the bug? Faulty AE version = 24.4.1 (Build 2). You'll find the AE project here:project1---bug-and-hack.aephttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1i57JibETwyXtdY-zNZ-ZXJqTZRxkIz-h/view?usp=sharing --- --- ---The project contains two basic "1920x1080x25fps compositions". One with the bug (called 1---Bug), and one with the hack (2---Hack). BUGGY EXPRESSION FRM = 0.04; if (time < outPoint-FRM) { RESULT = 22; } else { RESULT = 88; }  HACK EXPRESSION FRM = 0.04 + 0.0001; // This +0.0001 is the solving hack. if (time < outPoint-FRM) { RESULT = 22; } else { RESULT = 88; }  ANALYSE OF THE PROBLEMIt seems that an operation such "time-(outPoint-0.04)" return a number with lots of decimals (something like -0.040000000000000924). M

Hi.. My device specifications are Windows 11, 128 GB RAM, Nvidia 4090 graphics card, Intel i9 14900k processor, and I have had this problem for four days. I have reverted to multiple and different versions, but the same problem every time. afterfx.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I used cracked programs, but the same process and the same message appear. Note that I have not added any script or plugin for about a year. Can you help me with this problem?  

Hello After Effects community,I'm reaching out for help in creating and animating a "blurred light leak" effect that is commonly seen in modern designs. I've attempted to make this effect from scratch in After Effects, but I haven't been able to achieve the desired result. I've attached some images of the type of blurred light leaks I'm trying to replicate. I am not sure that "blurred light leak" is the good name for this effect but I have attached pictures below: Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how I can create this effect in After Effects? Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!

So, this bug had been ever since (5 years ago) the new curves in Lumeri Color effect (this applies for both After Effects and Premiere Pro) have been introduced.Steps to reproduce:Add any two points on any curve that is 'something vs something' (Like Saturation vs Hue) Try dragging one of them horizontally passing the middle of the widow where they could be dragged. Notice how the point jumps as the cursor passes the middle and no longer sticks to it...I've recorded the video preview of this event

When I explore an AE project, it always shifts part of the left side to the right. This is a problem I've never encountered before. Can anyone help me, please?

After Effects' main window is not a real macOS window, which impacts accessibility apps. I use the app AltTab, which simply lets you switch between open windows using a shortcut. The app is not able to properly detect the AE window because of this issue. Quote from my bug report to AltTab:Then it means AE windows are not real windows. It's a bug on their side. You should open a ticket for them so they fix it. If it affects AltTab, it must affect other accessibility apps.[...]To insist again: this is a bug on AE side. It should be reported. Screen readers and other apps are probably broken with AE.
