After Effects

Hello everyone! A made a cubus rotate with 3D layer. I also am using an ai. file. But even with turning on collapse transformations everything is still pixelated. Also when rotating the cubus, the cubus is shaking and I don't understand why ? Thank you for your help 😊

Shape Layes has almost everything that Illustrator has, except for the abilty to align the stroke to Inside, Outside or Center. Is there a way to do this?I want this but in After Effects!

I'm working with the new "blinking cursor typewriter console" effect in the 2023 release. Does anyone know how to keep the cursor blinking?  At the end of a sentence, while waiting to start the next paragraph, etc? I copied steps from a video, which has you add extra keyframes into the timeline, which is supposed to tell the text to pause until it gets to the next keyframe, and all the while, the cursor should keep blinking, as if waiting.  It worked in his video, but when I duplicate the actions, my cursor doesn't blink. For now, it only blinks at the very beginning of the text animation. Anyone have solutions or walk-throughs they could post?Thanks

I'm having a weird issue and I'm driving myself crazy. I tried to draw some bezier lines with the pen tool to make a trim path animation for an infographic and when I went to duplicate the top line and mirror it using the flip effect it separated the path and the stroke and mirrored them instead of just flipping them both. i think I'm just lacking sleep but some fresh eyes would be much appreciated. Am I just an idiot making things more complicated then they need to be? lol

Hi, I'm using AE 24.4.1 and I have to shorten a video a bit. This is a 5 minute educational video with 115 layers. The client asked me to cut a line of text off of one screen and to cut out the section of narration (where I read the text out loud.) I've used "Split Layer" to remove that section of narration and I moved the rest of the audio layer to the left on my timeline, thus shortening my narration track. I now need to move all 114 layers to the left on the timeline so they will match the, now shortened, audio track. When I move all those layers I need the keyframes to move with them so they keep their position relative to each other. For example when the opacity of one layer drops from 100 to 0 the next layer's opacity ramps up from 0 to 100 creating a smooth transition. Am I going to have to select 114 layers, *and* their keyframes one-by-one in order to move them all in the timeline? I've seen people suggest using a null object but I'm not repositioning things on the s

Hello, does anyone knows how I can export videos in Hap and Hap Q for a project from my Adobe After effect and Media Encoder 2024 ? PLeaaaaase 🙂 

Hello! I'm having trouble understanding AE's camera. I want these horizontal lines to really come together at the vanishing point (like the red lines in the uploaded image). But nothing I do to the camera (point of view, etc) is giving me the perspective that I need. Help!

Myself and several coworkers have started to get import/export errors with the latest version of After Effects (version 24.3). We have found that reverting back to version 24.0.3 completely resolved 100% of our issues. Here are some of the specific issues we've seen so far:Exporting PNGs when the color space is set to Rec.709This results in the classic "AEGP Plugin PNGIO library error." I'll attach screenshots of the errors to this post.Importing MXF video filesThe error message reads, "...cannot be opened, it may be in an unsupported format." Does anybody know a quick fix for these issues, or do we need to wait for Adobe to release a patch? Transcoding our MXF files to another format is NOT an option. Our editor has done some tests with different formats and has requested that we keep the MXF files as-is if possible for the sake of keeping the color the same across all of our shots. The same goes for the PNG exports. Sometimes we need to export PNGs in Rec.709. We do it all the t

Hi guys! Is there any tentative date soon for dynamics and collisions to be implemented natively in AE?I'm thinking of something similar to the Newton 4 plugin.Thanks and regards!

I have a pretty big amount of footage that I want to sort through into bins and also add in's and out's to by using premiere. I then want to import the sorted footage into an after effects file (or files) which is where I plan to make an animated film out of the footage. Is it possible for me to somehow preserve the in's and out's that I specified in my project in premiere? I've looked a bit at dynamic link and also just importing the premiere file into my after effects project however neither have seemed to work (or maybe I'm just a newbie lol). I'm also wondering if there's a better workflow to do this with? I've never worked with after effects before and so am not sure if I came up with the best system. Please feel free to recommend if you have a better way of doing all this. Thank you!

I have MSI Thin gf63 thin with i7 12th gen processor, 16 gb ram, rtx 4060 8gb GPU and after effects is pretty slow. I need to do everything in quarter resolution and for example I made some animation with a lot of gradients and effects (5 seconds animation) it took over 2 hours to render it.. Is that normal or?

Hi! I am learning to make this animated mockup. I managed to create the phone and change the background but when I want to make the animation in a new composition the layers appear in the corner and I can not move them. I am really new, I appreciate your help and if I can do something to fix it 

I prefer working with "separate dimensions" active and, as an avid shortcut user, I noticed the lack of a shortcut for adding keyframes specifically to the X or Y positions (since pressing Alt + Shift + P adds keyframes to both). I found an option to assign a shortcut for adding keyframes to the X position, but I couldn't find one for the Y position. 

I've been working on this clip for a few days and just finished and rendered when I noticed this gray box in the final render. I realized then that it was also showing up in the preview. I mustve missed it thinking it was part of a mask or something. I searched all over and couldn't find anything on it. Anyone know what this is/how to get rid of it? Thanks 

I started a 2D animation project in Adobe Animate because i thought the compatibility between adobe programs would be simple and helpful. I want to transfer a project from Adobe Animate into After Effects to continue the animation and do compositing and effects, but this error shows up "An error occurred while importing this file". This happens with every file I've tried so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the project itself. Is there a way to fix this and transfer my work from Animate to After Effects? I really need help 😞  

So i was working on an after effect project and i got a problem that i dont know how to solve.So i wanted that Shape (the triangle with the wave warp effect) the shape you see in the back that is an illustrator project. My goal is that i look kind a like this and keep the wave warp animation that i have. I want the background to be transparant to eventually but something in the back.Any clue to help me with this?

Just selecting a layer in a comp is enough to crash After Effects.Also selecting an effect in the effects panel can turn After Effects in a flashing frenzy.After Effects seems broken on the most basic level...   Mac Studio Ultra 128GB, macOS 12.7, 32bit OCIO ACES workflow   Title edited by Mod.
