After Effects

Hey I made a post similar to this not long ago but i'll try my luck again, I've screen recorded my problem. whenever i go to zoom in on my workspace, the audio wave form shifts by a few frames. how do i fix this? this issue has been happening for a while now and it happens on multiple projects.

Here's the error message after the project opens 98% After Effects Warning: Could not create an essential graphics parameter because it refers to an non-existent layer Clicking ok only brings up the same dialogue box.  Help me 

Very odd bug.Just had my carefully kerned type ruined by After effects when I changed individual character colours manually.Any idea why this would happen?I am pasting in hex values in the properties panel fill box or character panelSome real work needs doing to get the type engine functioning correctly to avoid this sort of thing. I can work around it with animators and it is sporadic. one of of 4 of the same characters moved. 

Heyhey, I animated an 4-color gradient with similar colors. But now the animation didn't flow, the color jumps on some points (not even the keyframes). Just to make this clear: it's not a bending problem.AE 23.5.0MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Max, Ventura 13.4.1In a 3 second comp (16bit) I used 4 keyframes for each color:Point1: #585D64 / #595D64 / #585C63 / #575B62Point2: #565B61 / #565B61 / #55595F / #54585FPoint3: #51555B / #505459 / #4D5156 / #4A4D52Point4: #51555C / #50545B / #50545B / #50555C To make the problem more visable I added the Alexa default LUT with a contrast of 100 on top  Thanks for your supportTimo 

Currently, I am engrossed in a project, and during the precomposing phase, I encountered an error message indicating the presence of special characters within my compositions. Although this type of issue has occurred before in After Effects, it typically disappears after clicking "OK" a few times. However, this time, despite using an auto clicker for an extended period, the error message persists without any resolution. Given that I haven't saved my project recently, I am hesitant to close After Effects. My primary concern is finding a way to resolve this error promptly to facilitate necessary fixes. Any assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.Version: 2020Platform: PC

In After Effects, Suppose I'm in the Main comp, its about 30 sec and make a text in between, from 15 Sec to 20 sec and I pre-comp it, to do seperate animations on the text. then I want to highlight the text, and want it update everytime I change, so I use the sourcerecatime expression, everything is fine, but when I try to animate word by word, Text layer updates the shape layer at the time of the Main comp instead of the Text Precomp, I used the text animator,  So word by word is fine, but the shape layer updates later, I found it out when I created a new text layer on the precomp and put on the same text, it updated instantly with the new text layer. 

Merhabalar, kullanmış olduğum After Effect yazılımında renk profili hatası ile karşılaşıyorum. Konuyu açmam gerekirse, import ettiğim dosyalar gamma olarak 1.0 olarak gözüküyor. Dosyaların standartı 2.2 olmasına rağmen bir türlü standart görünümüne getiremiyorum. Windows'u başka kullanıcılarda açtığımda sorun gözükmüyor ama kendi kullandığım kullanıcı ile açtığımda sorun devam ediyor. After Effecti tamamen kaldırıp tekrar yüklememe ve ayarları tamamen sıfırlamama rağmen sorun çözülmedi. Aynı şekilde Windows'un kullanıcılar kısmında da artık dosyaları temizlememe rağmen sorun çözülmedi. Buna benzer bir durumla karşılaşan varsa bana yardımcı olabilirse sevinirim.Standart ayarlarım şu şekilde:Project settings: Depth: 32 bitsWorking Space: sRGBLinearize Working Space : AktifCompensate for scene-referred Profiles: Aktif İnterpret Footage>Color Management>Profile>Preserve RGB: Aktif Show Channel and Color Management Settings>Use Display Color Management:

  AFTER EFFECTS LÄSST SICH NICHT ÖFFNEN. ES LÄDT UND AB DEM PUNKT "AUFRÄUMEN" BRICHT ER AB UND VERSCHWINDET EINFACH! ICH HABE NICHTS WEGEN PLUG INS, UND AUCH NICHTS EINGESTELLT! HABE VERSUCHT MEINEN PC NEUZUSTARTEN, AFTER EFFECTS ZU DEINSTALLIEREN UND WIEDER INSTALLIEREN, MEINEN GRAFIKKARTEN TREIBER AKTUALISIERT, ABER ALLES HAT NICHT FUNKTIONIERT! WAS KANN ICH MACHEN DAMIT ICH ES WIEDER NORMAL ÖFFNEN KANN, OHNE MEINE GANZEN SACHEN ZU VERLIEREN???

When exporting AE projects which contain 3D layers, the motion is different depending on whether I export to media encoder as H264 vs H265. the H264 exports match AE 100%, the H265 Exports will glitch out the 3D parts to the wrong coordinates. AE project is attached, just export from AE via media encoder with default h264 and h265 settings. The bug mostly shows up on sudden camera changes, eg cutting from one shot to another. Its almost as if some extra interpolation is being added between frames, or as if the internal processing of 3D data is done at a different framerate than the project. Another more serious example of the problem is here at the 0:06 mark. The size text goes completely mad,Working H264 https://youtu.be/QNDXkH3nF2ABroken H265 https://youtu.be/SPF2ZubSHkkthe weird thing here is that its just one scene element which goes mad, the other 3D text layers are fine. This has been a problem since the first time I tried exporting H265 last year so

Alguém mais com esse bug? Como resolver?  

I've tried basically everything to fix the issue. I reinstalled AE, resetted my preferences, de-activated all of my fonts, deleted all plugins (including 3rd parties), deleted all of my cache manually, booted AE in "safe mode", and restarted my computer countless of times with no crash logs. My PC Specs:RTX 3080 w/ latest NVIDIA driversIntel Core i7-8700K32GB RAMWindows 11 Home

I am using Ae to process and batch photos for photogrammetry, they are not excessively large and are approx 4k.  I am running into issues where viewports are entirely unresponsive after the first or second frame updates.Ae will freeze the viewport, and no amount of purging, changing the cache folder to another SSD, manually rebuilding the file, driver updates, changing preview settings, reformatting a fresh W11 entirely (yep), or moving the entire project directory around to different non-C:\ SSDs fixes this.  It becomes responsive when I move the entire project directory AND source AND cache on the main M2 drive (C:) it acts normally. I have tried a mixture of project + source + cache, mixing it through all my drives, and if the project and cache are not somewhere on C, it will within the first minute, freeze, lock up, forcing me to restart, where it will freeze after the first minute again.  Funny enough, if I check the disk cache in Ae, it will udpate for 2 more

Hallo zusammenIch bin sicherlich Anfänger auf AE und stehe auf dem Schlauch.Ich habe AE CC die neueste Version installiert, und mache die ersten Schritte anhand eines Tutorials. Es geht dabei um Bewegung stabilisieren (funktioniert wunderbar), skalieren verschieben; alles kein Problem.Im Anschluss wende ich die Verkrümmngsstabilisierung VFX an. Es erscheint ganz normal der blaue Balken (Analysieren im Hintergrund (Schritt 1 von 2). Dieser Balken bleibt aber ewig stehen, und nach ca. 5 Minuten kommt die Fehlermeldung "Zeitüberschreitung bei der Verbindung mit Dynamic Link-Server"Ich habe keine Ahnung wo ein Fehler liegen soll. Es gibt keine Verlinkung zu Premiere Pro, und ich brauche das im Moment auch gar nicht. Die gleichen Schritte funktionieren auf meinem Windows-PC problemlos und ich denke das sind auch keine wahnsinnigen Anforderungen an die Software.Warum sucht AE etwas was es in meinen Augen für diese Aufgabe gar nicht braucht, und gibt es eine Einstellung die ich evtl. ändern m

Hi! I am completely new to After Effects, reating my 1st project now. In my master composition, I can't see anymore the strips adjusting the time of elements appearing. Is there a way to switch it back off? I'm not sure what I did wrong there. Thamks!  

I got a Intel HD Graphics 530 card but Elements 3D from video copilot is working fine.Only problem is that texts or objects i put into Elements are black and the color cant be changed by adding a style to it. I dont know what to do at this point so any help will be appreciated!

So I am at a loss here, I have no clue what to do with this program, every time I open it, It crashes after just being open for a few minutes, half the time not doing anything at all just sittign at the project window, when it does crash, all I have is simply regular video up. With Heat Distortion (I found out later I may need to reinstall this plugin so I removed it, crashes still) and Pixel Motion Blur, which I dont have that set to high, and its either crashing the program, or in worse cases, crashing the entire computer. Deleted Pixel Motion Blur, crashed still. then I realized I had Deep Glow on a comp, removed it, still crashed. I turned off Hardware Acceleration, still crashed, cleared all the caches, still crashed, I cant function in this program. Im currently on a RTX 4070 Ti Super, with the latest drivers, I shouldn't be having this many problems.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project in After Effects CC 2017, and I've encountered a challenge that I hope you can help me with. In the first image, you can see a composition with 10 layers, each containing various effects and keyframes.In the second image, there is another composition with the same 10 layers, but without the effects and keyframes. The layers have some minor changes compared to the first image, except for the missing effects and keyframes.I need to copy all the effects and keyframes from the layers in the first composition to the corresponding layers in the second composition. I know I can do this manually, one by one, but given the number of layers and keyframes, this would be incredibly time-consuming.Is there a faster way to copy all the effects and keyframes from the layers in the first composition to the layers in the second composition? Any tips or shortcuts would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help! 

Hi, I created a .mogrt template for my colleagues with text and a slider control for repositioning a composition on the x-axis.The .mogrt file is working fine on my computer in AE and Premiere.On other computers you can only edit the text. The slider isn’t doing anything.On all devices we have installed the latest version of Premiere Pro and After Effects. 

Latest AE, Latest nvidia Studio driver for Windows 11, whole new Tsunami of read errors from h264 files that were made in AME with MatchSource High BitRateIf you don't test your own workflows, what do you test before releasing non-beta AE versions and Studio certified drivers?Just posting here in case anyone else has seen this

Hello, I'm really having a problem that I've been having for a while.Out of nowhere my after started having these unbearable freezes that prevent me from working, I never had a problem like this before, it literally came out of nowhere, I turned on my after as usual and everything went down.I have an nvidia 3060, with 32 of ram, and literally at this moment I only have afte effecst as my only program installed on my pc. I have already done everything to be able to solve this, I even formatted the PC from 0, but the problem persists, I have also changed the settings for a mega ultra better performance for my after and even then, I have taken it to technicians and they have made changes to the computer that don't solve anything either. If anyone has this problem or went through something like this and managed to solve it, please help me not to die trying.

Hello, I am making slot animation in After effects. I have seperately pre-composed 3 shape, and I need to do an animation of it, but I want shapes in the rolling animation to be chosed randomely by After effects. Can anyone help me to write correct expression for that ?  also, is it possible for After effects, to chose the final symbols by itself(like win or lose be depended on the program) ?
