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?
AE Version 24.5After the last update I got this realy annoing issueAnd even if wait till the end, It is starting do the same again.Disc percentage usage almost 0Anyone had the same issue?

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.
Using Bezier Warp is great, but would be better if we could make it so that the tangents can be, as a choice, locked to the vertex, so when I move a vertex the tangents points are also moved relative to that vertex. That would make resizing the layer much more efficient and for better workflow.

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.
