After Effects

Hello, I have a question to consult, that is, I use AEGP Panelator this sample template to write a plug-in, I wrote a custom function called GetSelectedLayerNames(). This function is used to get the name of the selected layer. Because this function is used to AEGP_GetNewCollectionFromCompSelection the function, the function inside the first parameter is the ID of the plug-in. So I put the implementation of GetSelectedLayerNames() in Panelator.cpp. Then I created a custom button in PanelatorUI_Plat.cpp that, when pressed, executes GetSelectedLayerNames() in Panelator.cpp. I don't know if my above idea is correct, so I want to instantiate the Panelator object in PanelatorUI_Plat.cpp, but I find that in this example the Panelator class is declared and implemented in panelator.cpp. I can't instantiate him. So should I move the declaration of the Panelator class into panelator.h? Or is there an easier way? Hope to get your answer, thank you!

Hi. I'm using Video Copilots Optical Flares, but I can't get the flare to move behind an object.Here I have a Photoshop layer cut-out. I select it as Foreground Layer 1, but as you can see, the flare does not disappear.I've spent the entire day trying absolutely everything - the Source Type, the Source Layer, the Layer 5 Sample Method, using a black-and-white matte, but I cannot get this to work. Either the flare doesn't appear at all, or it doesn't go behind the layer.Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me absolutely nuts.I'm in AE 2021, and Optical Flares 1.3.5.Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,  I've been struggling to get the x and y rotation on the particle while using particular.  When I start from a preset I can make this work, but I've compared all the settings to a fresh solid with particular and I can not figure out how to get the ability to edit the X and Y parameters. Any help would be great thanks! Hope this makes sense. 

When setting up Adobe Color Managed, AE remembers your project settings after closing AE and re-opening a new project.   When you set AE to OCIO managed and pick ACES 1.3 Studio config, close AE and reopen, a new project defaults to the first option in the list ACES 1.2 with no working and output space selected.     Running latest beta build as of this post but this behavior existed ever since OCIO's implementation I believe.

After effects was working perfectly fine, but I come back a couple day later to continue a project and the preview is only showing white. I am not able to play the video at all and whenever I move the time using my mouse It just becomes black then goes back to white when I stop moving the time. The timeline also will not load. This is similar to another issue that I have had in the past, yet the solution that I tried last time does not work. I am using After Effect version 24.1 and this problem also comes with After Effects struggling to open and close as it just loads while saying "Program is not Responding". This continues to be an issue even after I clean the disk and cache.  PC Specs:Intel i7-9700K CPUNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super32G of Ram

When I press the button Interpret footage the warning message is appearing. After Effect warning: Profile "Rec 709" is missing, invalid or has incorrect file permissions. System windows 11AE version is 23.5

Hello gang, I'm surprised that no one has caught this or mentioned it, or maybe it's not been that important to note. But I make a lot of templates and utilize a lot of music/sound effects in my templates. These layers are all controlled vie expresions and conditional statements so I don't have to click around so much and turn on/off layers.I noticed that when I write expressions on audio layers and hit the keyboard shortcut (U,U) to reveal the expressions, it does not work on the audio property like it would on any other object property.Is this a bug or intentional?

There are three levels of comps combined to create this animation with a glow effect. The glow is pixelated and gradiated--not horribly but enough to notice--even when continuous raster is applied to the comps involved. What can I do?  

Is absolutely annoying that every 2 days you have to be updating your apps, just send a pak weekly for the updates.Ae is glitching with effects after the latest updatePs for some reason after the update is having conflict with the prompts for the generative fill and do whatever it wants.

I am writing to request assistance in obtaining a download link for Adobe After Effects 18.4. I am currently enrolled in an online course where the instruction is based on the 18.4 version of After Effects. Unfortunately, I am unable to find this specific version within the Creative Cloud application.Could you please provide me with the necessary download link or guide me on how to access Adobe After Effects 18.4? Having access to this version is crucial for my coursework and learning experience.or if it is not available, is there any other version such as Adobe After Effects 21.0?

Very very big issueSelecting a keyframes deselcts the object instead of showing the path controllersSelecting keyframe outside of composition boundary disappears the objectCan't select the controllers by dragging or deselect the contollers by dragging mouse or even by click shift

Bonjour,Quand je rassemble mes fichiers After Effects dans un dossier d'assemblage, il n'y a aucun fichier source dans le dossier. C'est systématique depuis quelques temps, j'ai beau rééssayer, ça ne fonctionne pas. Ma suite Adobe est à jour et mon Macbook Pro également. Merci pour vos réponses

 

Anyone know how this happened and how to fix it? 

I've already linked the null layer to the clip, but whenever I try to add a ''s_shake'' effect, it wouldn't show up in the preview and not change anything.I'd have to place the effect directly IN the 'Comp_1' layer for it to show.I'm confused if I accidentally clicked something?

So i'm trying to use the 'Consolidate All Footage' feature in the dependencies menu but it's not working.I've checked the footage using the 'reveal in explorer' function and a bunch of instances point to the same file, but after effects wont consoldidate duplicate instances of footage. I don't want to go through one by one and consolidate these manually.

There used to be a neat exprssion that could scale an object, however it seems to be not working as desired when I returned to this effect. Tutorial here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UaZNcVobhgSo the that if you get a array of object you get this nice wave effect.  When trying this there appears to be no scale, rather just 0 or 100, but nothing in the middle. I was wondering if it was the scripting preferences Java/legacy extented but both are not working. Also I am in 32bit and also 8bit.  I am no great expression user, but this has normally worked straight away in the past.  I thought at first it might be the vector files but it also is the same with native vectors 'shape layers' from after effects. And no recognition of the gradient driving the scale.  x = thisComp.layer("Gradient").sampleImage(transform.position, [.5,.5]/2, true, time)[0];100*[x,x] Best regards Julian

Saben como solucionar este error? Ya intente desinstalando y actualizando After pero no funciona de ninguna manera, ni con la versión 2023    

I'm using after effects 23. I duplicated a comp in my timeline and then I'm trying to replace the duplicated comp with another comp from the project panel. But it's not allowing me to replace but it's suggesting me to place the comp at the top or bottom of the duplicated comp in my timeline. But in the tutorial I see it's possible to replace a comp with another comp.So what's the problem or mistake happening by me here. Plz help me.Thanks. 

Hello,  I have been participating in a Graphic Design course as part of my professional development as a teacher. One task is a logo design and I have an idea which I am comfortable realising the overall shape in illustrator however I would like to add this text in and then try to animate it, as if it was scrolling around the shape as per the image.  If there is anyone who is able to offer advice on how I might go about this, I would really appreciate any help!  Thank you
