After Effects

I make complex rigs in After Effects for 2D animations where there're a lot of expression's code in a lot of properties in a lot of layers. Due to that, Frame Render Time value goes very high, till 300-500 ms or even more, which is a lot for making any animation stuff, so that such high latency is even considered for me as good result. Since when Multi-Frame Rendering was added to AE, I wondered: will CPU with a lot of cores like AMD Threadripper decrease Frame Render Time to comfort values in range 0-100 ms?  But also I heard that Frame Render Time mostly relies on single-core performance rather multi-core which means the higher speed of a single core would be, the faster would be Frame Render Time as well, which makes CPUs with a lot of cores useless specifically for me.Though seems like it's not true for me, because even Task Manager shows me that all the cores' threads are loaded when I move controller of the leg (those peaks appear when I move co

Hola, estoy bastante desesperada, estoy haciendo un proyecto muy importante con After Effectes que entrego en 2 días, y ahora de repente falla. Hasta ahora no había ningún problema, pero ahorra de repente cada que lo abro, a los 15-20 segundos se cierra de golpe, sin ningún mensaje ni nada.He probado a borrar la caché, desintalar y reinstalar, reiniciar el ordenador, cambiar algunas opciones de Ajustes de proyecto y preferencias, y nada.Es la versión 2024, y los controladores de mi gráfica estan actualizados. Espero que podáis ayudarme. Gracias

Hi there, i am making a school work project and am stuck on how to do a particle drop effect. the clossest example i found on youtube is the one bellow the effect in question is arround second 0:05, were a circle goes up then down, and when it finishes the down part of the animation it kinda sprays some squares, circles and triangles.How was that made ??? particle effect ?? Also was that bounciness and squishiness of the ball a effect as well ? or manualy made ? Regards ASilva

Is it possible, in Premiere Pro, to define some sort of variables or properties and access these in a MOGRT? I want to be able to define different things like topic of video, presenters name etc (just once per video project), me of the project, and have my different MOGRTs automatically read these variables/properties and use them in text fields etc.  In other words I want my MOGRT variables prefilled by something defined in my PPRO project.  markus

I have the problem that the 3D camera tracker suddenly stops. I select the video track that the tracker should scan. Then suddenly at 17% it just stops. When I want to repeat it, it doesn't start at all. When I restart After Effects it stops again. But then sometimes at 12% and sometimes at 23%. There is no error message. It just stops.I have tested several After Effects versions. Everywhere the same problem.My system:- Win11 Pro- Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4- Intel Core i7-12700K- 64GB DDR4 3600MhZ- Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2- nVidia RTX3080 10G

Hello, I'm trying to add motion blur to the video attatched - specifically I'd like the white text to "streak" as the camera moves inward. How do I best achieve this? Cheers

    

Greetings, I have a comp where there's a flat forerground layer and a flat background 3D enabled and the background layer is offset at some distance backward in the Z-axis, and above those two layers I added in an AE Camera layer. I see that there are camera settings for depth of field blurring, but how do I get motion blur on the foreground from fast panning of the camera in the X,Y plane? Thanks for any help on this 🙂

Hi there,I'm just learning after effects and this is probably a very simple thing but I'm trying to import an illustrator .ai file into after effects, convert it to a shape so that I can then use the repeater to create many copies of it. This is the image:When I then 'Create Shapes from Vector Layers' and click on the shape layer this is what I'm getting:There is only one layer in the original illustrator file as I don't need to do anything with individual layers. I don't understand why the outline of the original illustrator artboard is showing up also and am wondering if the burger is hidden behind that? There seem to be many more groups in the shape layer than there were in the original illustrator file also. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,Frank

Okay so I'm trying to get a 3d layer to change its scale based on its orbit around a point in 3d space, and the expression isn't working properly. I can add the expression to a text layer and output the values to the source text and see the values changing but sometimes the values never change for the scale.Here's the expression I'm working with:// Reference to the null layer's position var nullLayerPosition = thisComp.layer("Controls for Churchs").transform.position; var nullPosZ = nullLayerPosition[2]; // Current position of the layer var currentPosition = transform.position.valueAtTime(time - 0.01); var currentZ = currentPosition[2]; // Manually calculate scale factor var maxScale = 100; // Maximum scale when in front var minScale = 0; // Minimum scale when behind the orbit point var scaleRange = maxScale - minScale; var compHalfWidth = thisComp.width / 2; // Adjust scale based on z position var scaleFactor; if (currentZ > nullPosZ) { // Layer is on the far side of the o

Is an i7 3770, gtx550ti and 16Gb ram for using the after effect cc 2014 or 2019 a good idea? for simple editing projects in 1080x1080, I have an i5 3470 and it's not holding up after cc 2019, it crashes a lot with things that aren't very simple, I know I'm crazy but I'm thinking about buying an i7 3770 due to financial difficulties, just for simple editing.

Hi forum. Is it common task for animaters to export SVG files from After effects as a .SVG file extension? If I design a vector logo in AI, then import it into AE, can it be exported as SVG? is there any downside to this method? I know it's usually animated PNG files exported from AE, and handed over to programmers/developers. Thank you.  

Hi Adobe community, I've been encountering a frustrating issue with After Effects 2024, and I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the situation. I'm consistently receiving low memory usage warnings in After Effects 2024, even when my memory is not at 100% capacity. This is impacting my ability to preview even small portions of my edit. I have 16 GB of RAM, and despite trying various solutions, the problem persists.Attempts to Resolve:Switched preview resolution to quarter.Cleared disk cache multiple times.System Specs:After Effects Version: 2024RAM: 16 GBOperating System: WindowsProcessor: Intel Core i5 12th generationI've noticed that even when working on relatively simple projects, After Effects triggers low memory warnings, preventing me from smoothly previewing my work. The odd part is that my system is not maxed out, and I still have available resources. I put allowed RAM on other applications to 3.Steps Taken:Reduced preview resolution to quarter.Manually cleared disk ca

Hi there, relativley new to animation and yet my company has asked me to create an explainer video for them. I'm desperately trying to work on this but my AE on my Macbook Pro is hardly workable. I've attached a screenshot of my Mac Chip and memory specs, and I truly don't know if my computer is up to this or not. I also attached a screenshot of my After Effects version. I've not added anything special to it, just downloaded it and began working. I will say that I am working from hefty illustrator files that I am converting into shape layers, and there's a lot of shape layers lol. You can kind of see a sliver of what I'm trying to work on in the AE screenshot. I can't even scroll through my layers without it being choppy and sometimes getting the spinning wheel. How on earth am I supposed to animate this thing? Any suggestions on how to fix this? 

Sound's crazy, right?!? But... I could't figure out why my simple HD comp was almost impossible to work with. Two .psd files, two .ai files, one .mxf video file, 2 shape layers and a text layer. Transforming anything in the comp was a test of patience, until I removed the text layer. I thought I was crazy until I spoke with a colleague that had the same issue. Unfortunately this specific .ttf font is required for the project. Anyone else have this happen? Apple M2 Max Macbook Pro96GB MemorySonoma 14.1.2After Effects 24.1.0

After 22.6, Warp Stabilizer will freeze at frame 0 of X when placed on a precomposition. within the precomp is a .jpg sequence that has manual stabilization trackers. Nothing fancy here, but this has been an effective workflow for years... until October of 2022. Now it crashes when I try to cancel (crash logs below)I've posted about this a few times before but it's crucial this gets solved. For now, I've reverted to an old version of AE where this still works.Computer specs: Windows 11, 32 GB ram,  AMD Radeon 6700, my computer is fast. Performance isn't the issue. There are no spikes in processing power or ram usage.As usual, here are pictures for context and the .dmp file of the crash. Does the stuff in this .dmp file indicate anything important? Any devs want to give insight on this...?Here's the .dmp link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/11N4Xb6zgaVTgkeb6BGOjOApUG7iuQ2gk/view

Hi,the problem we got from rendering with aerender (on a render farm using aws thinkbox deadline) is that it doesn't take into considerations the amount of GB cache limit we set in our user app preferences and it fills up the hard drive until it crashes the computer. Is it a bug and is there a way to fix this?thanksS.

So First i tried after effects 24.1 and it was great but it was noot for me and had a few bugs so i went to 23.6 and was good but also had an issue to where it says it needs more memory but not even using the amount of memory i give it. so i go to 23.1 and the rendering is very slow so i go to 23.5 and i get the sam issue as 23.6 (its working now but does anyone else have this issue it just happens randomly..) i set it to 13 gb of ram and its only using 2 gb?? and still doesnt wanna work

wondering if anyone can assist, if anyone has had this issuei have my audio set in AE and need to provide it to an outside source for mixing. to do this, i need to go through premiere to create an OMF for them to use in ProToolsi remove all fades/stereomixer moves, and reset all audio (music, voice and sfx) to 0.when i copy and paste the audio into premiere, everything is absolutley nailed red, way overdriven. when i export the OMF (embeded audio), the mixer reports that everything they received via the OMF is similarly overdriven and, in some instance, clipping.does anyone know of a fix for this, or a better audio workflow (that wouldn't involve me have to redo the entire audio)? or why this happens? also of note. not with this project, but when i copy audio from premiere and paste it in to AE, AE adds a stereo mixer, with the levels set to 35.57%, even when premiere levels are at 0. has anyone encountered that, or knows a fox, or even a "why the hell does it do that?"? and

Hi Friends,I use Set Matte to add the alpha channel from layer2 to layer1.But if offset the inPoint from layer2 to sec 1, I still see the alpha in layer1 from 0-1sec and actually I expected to see nothing. If I use the Track Matte this works fine.Anybody know how I can correct this behavior? thanksTudor

When I use Mocha in after effects it shrinks the object I apply the export tracking data to the point it can barely be seen. why is that?

I copied my plug ins and posted them in the open file location in plug ins and they were working just fine u til today they are not showing up and my plug ins are still in the file?

 Hi - A vague question here: How I could go about creating a woven video like the images below? I assume I would have to create multiple layers of masks or mattes , but not quite sure how to start.Maybe with the venetian effect tool? And somehow alternate and invert what's visibile?? Any advice would be appreciated.
