After Effects

Hello, I just want this to loop on a duration of 20sec, I know it's probably very easy to do but the fact that there is perspective in it makes it a bit different compared to a "normal" flat pattern so I can't manage to find how to do this. The only effect I applied on it are autoscroll (horizontal) and motion tile, many thanks for your help !

Hi everyone, I started scripting for after effects 3 days ago and I came across tons of disappointments.I think the $.write() and $.writeln methods don't do enough. (I'm used to console.log in web development). My biggest problem right now is that if you log an object, it'll only output [object Object].I'm trying to print the full object with all its properties and sub/sub_sub... objects.Question #1: Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to do this?Question #2: if #1's answer is no, do you guys have an idea why I can't print the properties of the sub-objects using this method. (I recommend you guys try it)var testObj = {    property_string : "string",    property_int : 999,    property_arr : ["test",1],    property_obj : {        sub_property_string : "hello"    }};objLog(testObj);   function objLog(object){        var log = o

I recently upgraded from CS6 to 2014 and the problem I'm having is it will not recognize my GPU for Open GL. As you can see in the image below, AE is picking up my GPU for CUDA just fine but I can't get it set for Open GL. I've tried going to the Nvidia Control Panel and setting the GPU to be used for AE but after I save it, it always resets back to the Integrated Graphics setting. At first I thought it was Nvidia and contacted their support which didn't help, but then I noticed the Nvidia CP issue is only with AE and Premiere. So I'm wondering if AE and Premiere is blocking Nvidia somehow from setting it to the GPU. The main reason this is an issue for me is because I can't get the Element 3D plugin to work without Open GL being set to my GPU. It was all working fine with CS6 but it hasn't worked yet for 2014. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible to cast shadows from 3D objects onto a 2D layer with the Advanced 3D Render Engine? Or set up a 3D layer to catch the shadows? I have comp set up with some simple 3D objects and a text layer. I'm wondering if it's possible to have the 3D objects cast shadows onto the text layer? I can make the text layer 3D and it will catch shadows but it's also effected by the world lights which I don't want. I've tried to set up a shadow catcher with a shape layer but you can't change the blending mode of a 3D layer with the Advanced 3D render engine. I'm thinking the Advanced 3D render engine just isn't uhhh advanced enough at this point to do it but if anyone knows how that would be awesome.

Wondering how to work shadows off 3D objects imported into the beta version ?

Hey there guys, quite new to expressions, and I'm just trying to create a text box which reacts to the amount of text inside, and also animates so the text appears as the box scales from left to right. I can think of a way to do this using a separate shape layer as a mask, but is there a way to keep it to one text box and one text layer? The problem I'm having is that my current text box's rectangle size property is used up with the expressions needed to have it react to the text. Usually I would set the anchor point to the left, and then use the size to create this wipe on effect. Any ideas? I'll attach the aep file I've been working on so far.   

so i'm not able to edit my .mogrt files in premier pro, is there anyway that i can add rows or columns to my .mogrt file? this is a animated chart that i downloaded from adobe stock. if i can't basically add anything to my chart what's the point? i can only play around with text and colors and basically whatever options there in premier pro! there are fixed rows and columns 

I have my footage tracked and i was trying to select the tracker and create Null and Camera. it is not working, can somebody help me please? 

I've noticed that in AE2020 and 2021, as I alt-tab between windows, AE tried to grab focus back.For example, it's often something like this:- Use AE- Alt-tab to another window - AE grabs focus, like I'd alt-tabbed back to AEor- Use AE- Alt-tab to another window / program- As i'm using the other program (in windowed mode), if my mouse moves off that window, and in front of AE (if AE is full screen behind the window in front) it behaves as if I'd again alt-tabbed into AE. Only AE seems to be doing this, and only 2020 and 2021. 2019 is unaffected.Any ideas? I've tried other mice in different USB points as well.

Hello everyone, I've been seeing a lot of these animated war maps using Google Earth and After Effects, but I can't figure out how they're animating the encircled armies so seamlessly. I'm assuming it's two layers, a red layer (invaded layer) and a blue layer on top encircling the red layer. What I can't figure out is how seamless the encirclement looks. The animated encircling blue layer has a white stroke to it, but as the blue layer encircles the red layer, the white stroke doesn't overlap itself. Does anyone know how to do that in After Effects? I've already asked on youtube but haven't received any answers yet. So I figured I'd try the After Effects forum. Thank you in advance.  https://youtu.be/xS1V5NvZrac?t=34 

Hallo After Effektler, ich habe keinerlei Erfahrung mit AE, ich habe mir via. Videohive ein Template gekauft und wollte es nun bearbeiten, dort stellte ich dann fest, dass ich manche Texte problemlos bearbeiten kann und auch eine Vorschau habe. Bei einem Text allerdings, kann ich zwar den Text anpassen, sehe aber keine Vorschau. Ich kann weder den Text noch den Shape Layer anpassen: https://prnt.sc/Kezl5cP-rKMJ  Kann mir jemand erklären, woran es liegt? Ich bin wie gesagt anfänger und weiß noch nicht, wie man AE bedient. Ich habe versucht zu googlen, habe aber nichts aussagekräftiges gefunden. Würde mich über einen Tipp freuen.  LG

I am trying to create a script that would change the font weight of enery charachter from a word randomly every 3 frames?The differents fonts weights are : light regular medium Semibold bold Black italicI have found this on the internet but can not make it work : var textLayer = this.textLayer;var currentFontWeight = textLayer.sourceText.fontWeight;var weights = ["Light", "Regular", "Medium", "SemiBold", "Bold", "Black italic"];var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * weights.length);var newFontWeight = weights[index];setInterval(() => {textLayer.sourceText.fontWeight = newFontWeight;}, 3); 

This is Text layer. When I press the enter key instead of cursor goes to next line it's jump back to H letter. How to fix it? I attached the file. Zoom in is needed to make the cursor visible. 

Hello all, I am a student working on a short film and I am workshopping some ideas for its visual style. One idea I had, after looking at this music video, is turning the background black and white for a few scenes while keeping the characters in color. Is this possible for a film where the camera and actors will be moving a lot and how do you do it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I’ve been using After effects and JSON files just for the sole purpose of displaying students grades as an animation. Because the name of the file has always been grades.json for every student, all I had to do was right click and replace the file to that of the correspoing student. Now the JSON files will have unique names such as Alice-grades.json and Bob-grades.json but the code references grades.json, and I can’t right click and replace the file anymore unless I manually change the file name in the code per every student, every student is an After Effects project. How can I have the JSON file name as a variable, so I would have a similar process of right click ,replace file. For example right clicking and replacing file Alice-grades.json to Bob-grades.json without having to modify the code. Since there will only be one JSON file per project I can get away by just having the code to use whatever JSON file is in the current After Effect

Hello I have a problem, basically when I move shapes or even text ( with the selection tool V ) they get blurry until I stop moving them and i dont know how to solve this problem, can someone help me out?

Hello guys. I'm trying to animate a line that "erases" itself once the shape is fully shown. Once I do it, I want to loop that effect. Like this:and then come back to erase the line again, as in frame 1The first keyframes at the Trim Path bar are set to 0 at the beggining, then the second keyframe at 100. I tried to low the third keyframe to 0 again, but it caused a totally unwanted effect, as shown below What should I do to achieve the effect I want?

Hi. I am importing AI files; for each layer I import, I get a composition+AI file. How can I set up the import to be just the AI layer?  Thank you  Edit: Forget about it, I found that the import dialog box has a small check box "create composition"   

I'm having problems with text aliasing when either the text or background or both moves. I've been advise to use a thicker text and a soft blur.. it makes it better but doesn't solve it. My settings have been triple checked - and they are all at max quality and rastering. Does anyone have any tips or even 3rd party solutions? Many thanksLilli

After updating to 22.3, legacy projects are opeing with numerous errors:"AE error:  The file you are attempting to open is corrupt and has an invalid number of Default, Side View or Custom cameras." "AE warning:  can not find source item for layer ID=xxx; will replace with a placeholder."(26::143) AE then generates a slew of generic "placeholders" with no names of the previously linked image sequences for the unavailable source items added to the placeholders.  AE 22.3 simply can't read these sources and ignores them and their metadata.  Layers affected by this error are in some cases .png image sequences.  It seems AE isn't recognizing these sequences in 22.3 which is a substantial problem. Rolling back to 22.2.1 resolves all of these issues.  This is 100% reproducable.

Hi Everybody, I've been trying to do something like a half tone or multiple shape matte transition for some time (Please see attached). I've tried using shape layer repeaters, but the scaling makes the shapes all squirrelly. It doesn't scale or space them easily at all. Is there a tutorial, plugin or reference that anybody knows where to approach this method? Would love having the ability to use this as a transition. Thanks for reading. 🙂 

Why the swirl of track matte is missing? Can anybody help me out with this? the swirl is available for parent & link but unavailable for track matte!
