After Effects

I’m on a MacBook Pro 2023Apple m3 pro chip18 gbs RAM (… the minimum rec)1 tb SSD Sonoma 14.5 Basically… I will be working along, auto save will periodically pop up, and then sometimes I’ll see that there hasn’t actually been a save in hours. Other times application memory warning will pop up at almost 110 gbs and the app will stop responding. I close out, clear cache, mess with settings, uninstall, reinstall, nothing seems to solve this frustrating problem. I lost a whole day of progress today, even when I swore it saved earlier. The auto-save folder will say the time of the most recent save, but when I open it there is no save file with a corresponding time of save. It’s just so bizarre I can’t seem to find much on forums about this. I'm not doing anything that i thought was too intensive, besides basic layer compositing.

After Effects versions (since forever) to 24.4.0 ........ long menu pickers don’t scroll with the mouse wheel.  The only option is to click and hold the up/down triangles which are very slow (8 lines/items a second on average).  Doesn’t matter where the menu is - in an effect chooser, or even when parenting in a comp with many layers. Other interface components in After Effects respect the scroll wheel (effects list, project panel, comp layers, etc.) - please fix this so menu list pickers use the mouse scroll wheel. 

Working with AE more for the last year there are a lot of strange things about it. Performance is generally not great, even on a fast machine and it seems to be irractic when it runs well and when it does not. No other apps open, sometimes improves, other times no difference.However, one of the more odd things is the app steals focus and will not let it go. I have to move dialog boxes to my other monitor to continue working.  Cleaning Cache often takes a very long time and both the preferences screen and the progress screen refuse to hide, remaining on top of all applications. Why? No other app does this. How is this not a bug? 

I have an extremely simple project with two adjustment layers with minimal effects and two video files. The second I enable time remapping for the video files After Effects fails to render more than a few frames and gives a low ram warning. I only have 16 GB tho, but the simplicity of the project is what concerns me. Anyone else have this issue on the new version?

After Effects is constantly giving me the low memory warning, I have a Mac M1 with 64 gigs of RAM.  After Effects has always been a memory hog but this is ridiculous! I am using Particular, maybe this is contributing to the issue.  I clear the cache constantly, but still do not have memory cleared up for previewing. So, seeing the green lines to show, cached frames is not accurate, sometimes these do not show and do not update.  I also get warnings at launch that my cashe does not have enough space, but there is enough space, I have 90 gigs of cash allocated and I have 150 gigs available on my hard drive. Why does this keep happening? 

Hello,I am new to After Effects and I am trying to make a logo animation, but I am having problems...Basically, the logo I have, is a .png file format picture and whenever I make the animation stuff, that works. But when I try to add 'Echo' there isn't no motion blur, does anyone have any idea why?I have linked the .png file below and the screen I see.

 I have this error when I installed the beta featuring the new 3d rendering. My specs are GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and I have already updated my GPU drivers. (I installed the Pilot Studio Ready and Game Ready Pilot given by Nvidia). I am on windows 11 of course. Could someone enlighten me ?

Hello,I want to animate a digit with a circle. I want the digit to go from 0 to 20 and simultaneously complete the full trim path circular animation from 0 to 20.I animated the digit animation with slider control.I applied trim path to the stroke and also applied angle control to the circle.. and whipped trim path ‘end’ to the angle control so that I can animate it from 0-20 and want circle complete it’s trim path animation from 0-20. (0 first keyframe, last keyframe is 20 in angle control)but it’s not happening.At 20 (last key frame) the trim path animation stops.I understand that trim path value is 100. So to make it a full rotation I must do something so that after effects can make that 100 into ‘20’ .What is that ‘something’ I can’t figure out.. Google has nothing to offer. Please help. I am so sad.  

Hello there, I'm currently running After Effects 24.1 and Mocha 9.5.7.Mac OsX 12.1I've just tracked an object (a cellphone screen) in Mocha using the X-Spline tool. Everything worked great, until I had to export the tracking data and then copy to clipboard.In my Mocha version (9.5.7), I just don't have the Export track data button! (check image below).So, I won't be able to generate the data, and paste into After Effects.Can anyone shed a light on this? It would be great!Thanks in advance!

 I keep getting low memory warnings when trrying to ram preview clips, with filters or without, doesn't matter. Any hope of these issues ever being fixed? AE 24.5, M2 96GB, Sonoma 14.5

Hello, When I work in After Effects using the Brush Tool (not the Roto Brush Tool) I noticed that my cursor does not change to the circle of the brush size I am trying to use but remains the standard cursor. I have on occasion seen it switch but nothing seems to be triggering it and then it goes back to the regular cursor.  I am working in the Layer and not the Comp (and can see the brush strokes being painted on), ensured Caps Lock is not on, tried resetting my preferences, resetting my workspace, and updating After Effects and so far to no avail. Thanks.

Hi there, I am a bigginer of After effect and have one question.While practicing after effect's fuction (P,S,R,T) on the timeline, I can't see the number all of a sudden. Is there anyone who can help me how can I solve this matter? 

Hello, I'm struggling with getting an .exr sequence into After Effects from Nuke. The images are being exported at UHD 4k, and for some reason, AE is reading them as 11k+ size images. When re-imported to Nuke, the sequences are still in 4k UHD.  The error codes are as follows:   (0 :: 9997) Was not able to make a PFWorld/Volumes  (37 :: 3) internal verification failure (effect modules should only dispose worlds they have allocated) Decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of frames. 2 Memory limit reached errors 1_ Image buffers of size 12391 x 10885 @ 32 bpc (2.0) exceed internal limits. I genuinely don't know what to do, my .exr sequence is fine coming out of Nuke, it must be an issue on the Adobe side. If there is any information reguarding .exr pipelines and workflows, then that would be much appreciated.  

When using Ae 23, rendering a clip uses almost all of my ram and frequently crashes. However, it does not happen consistently and I've tried recreating the conditions, but I am not sure what exactly is triggering this behavior.   Sometimes I'll load a file and RAM usage will jump up to 80% and stay there. Then playback pushes ram usage to the brim (even on 1080p videos). The program will start to lag, notify it is unresponsive, and cause the rest of my computer to be slow. I don't understand, I bought this laptop specifically to use the Adobe suite and it is impeding my workflow. It occurs even when no effects are being used.   Please let me know if I need to provide any   Here are my specs: -ASUS ProArt Studiobook -32GB RAM -12th Gen Intel i7 -Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (GPU 0) -NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (GPU 1)   Here's what I've tried in order: -Restart computer -Close all other programs (except task manager) -Start with an empty project -Adding after effects to

Error installing After Effects. After the installation is completed, a crash error appears on the desktop, and AE writes that the plugins are installed incorrectly, although I did not install anything.

I downloaded the new maxon app 2023 and, accordingly, the magic bullet looks plugin. but when I go into after effects and apply coloring using "looks", the application just crashes. what is the problem? I've already reinstalled it several times. at first, I just didn't ship the coloring. and gave out lags. and then after effects closes. Please tell me, it's very urgent!!!! Title edited by Mod.

al intentar abrir after effects este no abre inicia la carga pero al final no abre. 

Boa tarde pessoal, fiz a instalação do Motion Bro e estão aparecendo todos os efeitos corretamente mais na hora que aplico o botão não funciona e não faz a aplicação do efeito que eu quero, alguém pode me ajudar?

I'm at the end of my rope here. I can't get anything done cause After Effects crashes everytime I try to preview anything. I've used these .ae files on another computer with all the same scripts, plug-ins, windows, settings, and keyboard shortcuts. Works fine on my office machine but at home AE jsut crashes. I've tried different files with the same result. Cleared all caches.Disabled all 3rd party plug-ins.Reset preferences.Ran in Safe mode.Deleted all scriptUIs and Scripts. Updated video drivers.Updated Windows.Unistalled and reinstalled AE. The log in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/AfterEffects/Logs just says this:[2024-06-14_15-26-17][40808][Info] [general] Instead of the WebView2 runtime in the system, UXP will use the WebView2 runtime in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Microsoft\EdgeWebView Windows 11 Pro 22631.3737ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming Wifi IIIntel i9-14900KS96 GB RAMASUS ROG Strix RTX 4090 OCOS installed on 1TB Corsair MP700 Pro I can't do anywo

I have a solid with the particle system II with producer position keyframes. I added a null object renamed emitters and copy and pasted the producer position keyframes onto the null object's position. Then I clicked shift and parented the producer position to the position of the null. My goal is to have the solid layer with the particle system producer follow the null. However, it seems that the entire layer is moving with the null object as you can see with the bounding box, when I'm just trying to have the producer of the particle system move with the null object. I'm wondering these two things:Why is the entire layer moving when I just have the particle effect producer parented to the null object?I don't understand why shift parenting didn't put the producer's position smack dab on the null when shift parenting would normally snap it to the exact position of the null object. 

Dopo aver caricato il video su after effects nel momento in cui vado a selezionare il tracciamento mi segnala l'errore: impossibile ottenere il server Dynamic Link. Come posso fare?

Can't use the pan tool or dolly tool through the active camera because of this error.This is weird because even though I change the position, point of interest, and rotations I still can't use the pan tool or dolly tool. The rotation tool does work though. My camera is a two node camera. 

I had saved the file i was working on literally minutes before my power went out and then i opened after effects when it came back and not only is that file gone but every other file is gone and this animate composition page shows up but usually it's just a list of my comps, it's no where in my file explorer either, does anyone know what to do?  everything i've ever worked on is gone
