After Effects

Hi there! First time posting something here. I've seemingly looked everywhere and can't find someone who has this same problem. I'm on Windows, AE 2023. Whenever I go to import a video or photo (this case, a .png), it will not show up. It will only outline the borders of it? This is a direct screenshot of what I see when I try to import something. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you! 

Posting the bug here, this thing is still around since 2015, I hope this time can get solved once and for all!AE 23.4.0 - Windows 11The first camera is correctly solved, subsequent tries to solve additional cameras will get stuck on "initializing..." (different comps, one tracker per comp).You can temporarily solve the issue by rebooting After Effects.

Hello.  Am working in AE 23.3.0 and as of today, am finding my working Colour Space in the Comp Window is not matching Visually what it should be, what it looked like yesterday, and what the renders look like.  A restart of computer did not fix.Please help... its very hard to work with such a disconnect.  Picture of settings attached.  And pictures of visual problem attached.

I created a 360 degrees image with Blockade Labs and I've edited it on AE through the VR Comp Editor. Then I exported it as monoscope and uploaded on Youtube. Unfortunately when I play the 360° video on Youtube a vertical line, which is the image stitching (I suppose), appears in the middle of the frame. It is strange because there isn't any line during the editign process and I can rotate 360° image whithout seeing the stiching. 

Após a atualização para a versão 24.5, o Cineware Maxon Export não funciona mais, clico para exportar e não há resposta, há uns 10 dias quando fiz a ultima exportação estava tudo em ordem, atualizou, e agora não consigo mais exportar, o C4d esta instalado corretamente, consta na lista do AE, esta funcional,

How do I exactly animate a slow-motion hair floating (blown by the wind) or clothes moving (blown by the wind) using Adobe tools (photoshop/aftereffects/lightroom/etc...) I just wanted to create an animation that is almost as the same as this type of animation :Tokyo Machine - OKAY [Monstercat Release] - YouTube  (It's a music video with animation-the type that i wanted to create myself)Mainly, the animation would be a repetitive and no long than 10 seconds length.Thanks.

So, I'm sure this topic is out there but I'm just not finding it. I have a round 2D image (a PNG file) that I'm making rotate with some background animations.  Righit now, the image rotates  but has no depth.  I found a tutorial on YouTube but it's basically duplicating layers and after about 15 layers, it creates a square that rotates instead of just the round image. Is there an easier way to just add some depth to this PNG so it doesn't look so flat?

I've been trying to create an animation for social media in After Effects. When I try and implement a preset text animation via Bridge, I get the attached error message. I asked an After Effects expert for advice and he thought it was a bug and it should be reported to Adobe, which is what I'm doing! Any suggestions gratefully received. (My system spec: iMac Apple M3 (bought this year),  Sonoma 14.4.1,  Bridge 14.1.1,  After Effects 24.5)  

Hey, I'm encountering an issue with rendering animated GIFs that have transparency. Both After Effects and Media Encoder are producing corrupted files, as shown. The project file seems fine because I've successfully rendered this project before without any issues. I suspect the problem might be related to a recent update. I've already tried switching the render engine and creating a new project file to check, but the results are still the same.

hiwhen attempting to switch timeline tabs with wacom, often the tab "sticks" to the cursor, and the only way i found to stop it is to switch out and back into after effects (cmd+tab). then the tab gows to whichever panel the cursor was hovering on, often creating a new panel for the timeline.**this may happen in other areas of AE, but not as consistently and as often as with the timeline tabs!**i estimate this sticky behaviour has been going on for a year or two.it is possibly a misinterpretation of the wacom multydimensional input, that needs to be ignored in this instance..tech: 27i iMac 2020, sonoma 14.4.1, wacom intuos pro - all software and drives up-to-date.

I wonder, why does Rotobrush do a recalculation when you hit Freeze? What is the process behind it? What is the point? The tool isolates an object once then it does it again. Nothing changes before freezing. If you change any values it does not infleunce the freeze-unfreeze time if it once was frozen so what is the point of recalculation of the first freeze? Is there a chance Adobe will make Rotobrush take one pass of rotoscoping instead of two? Because it is really so tedious ro see it do it twice and it takes so much time.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to After Effects scripting with JavaScript. I've written a script to collect text layer properties (inTime, outTime, fontName, fontSize). Additionally, if the layer has keyframes, I need to gather the keyTime and text from those keyframes. While the script correctly collects the text properties, it doesn't accurately retrieve the text for each keyframe, instead, it returns the same text (from the first keyframe) for all keyframes. Could anyone help me resolve this issue? Below is the script I've written. Thank you!getTextLayerInfo(); function getTextLayerInfo() { var myTxtInfo_Ary = []; var myProj = app.project; var myComp = myProj.activeItem; var myLayers = myComp.layers; for (var i = 1; i <= myLayers.length; i++) { var myLayer = myLayers[i]; if (myLayer instanceof TextLayer && myLayer.enabled) { var myTxtProps = myLayer.property("Text"); for (var j = 1; j <= myTxtProps.n

Hello, Im doing an animated text inside a Rectangle.The animation is like the "Typewriter" template, but instead of opacity I used scale 0% The animation works great if i play it from frame 0, but if i grab the Text and Rectangle layer and move to the frame 100, the Rectangle is already in full size when my text is empty. Is like the size of my text is being read from the layer timeline, instead of the composition timeline.Expression im using in my Rectanglex = thisComp.layer("text").sourceRectAtTime().width;y = thisComp.layer("text").sourceRectAtTime().height;[x,y]

I have a question,I have to write a text in hindi but Adobe After effects does not provide Hindi font(s). I have tried changing the keyboard input in my Mac but it was no good. Is there a way to type in Hindi?I get a text error like a picture.I looked for type manu, but it is not anywhere....please help !

 Basically I'm looking to create a proportional lines that comes out of the texts from the right to the corresponding individual texts to the left; what I have in mind is either create the lines in Ai or Ps then import but I'm not sure if it would make things easier at the end or just complicate it. The image above is just a sample to what I'm working on. I came across a plugin that could do stuff like this easily but I forgot the name. The lines in the middle part were better than the rest but everything could be definitely be better.

When working with shape layers I get this message before After Effects reverts back to the state before I started adding shape layers.After Effects warning: Undo group mismatch, will attempt to fix.

Situation: 1. Artist runs script on mac that creates corner pin data into a text file. 2. Text file has Unix (LF) line break characters3. Notepad on windows 11 now recognizes these. 4. Attempt to copy paste data into AE Layer5. AE refuses to patse becasue it is looking for Windows (CRLF) line breaks. 6. Spend a few hours scratching your head as to why your keyframe data won't paste. 7. Fall down deep rabbit hole  Workarounds:Drag txt file into Chrome and then copy paste from there seems to be the easiest. 

After Effects is creating .CRASH files on my desktop every time I open it. It isn't crashing. Does anyone know how to change this behavior?

hello, I'm doing 2d animation on krita, and I'd like to be able to import them into after effect to rework them but without losing the different images and layers so that I can move them separately, so I can't put it in .MP4.So I've installed the OCA script for krita, which works, but the DuIO script for importing into after effect doesn't work, and I get the error message "incorrect argument".Is there any other way of importing my animations or repairing the script?Thanks for your help.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I have a composition that is 2160x3840 and I am trying to render out an .h264 with a VBR target bitrate at 100mbs. When it renders out, the resolution has been changed to 1296x2304 The Render settings are at "Best" quality and "Full" resolution Is this a bug or are my render settings forcing a resolution downgrade for some reason?
