I updated reciently to Adobe CC 2020 , and I got this error when I open After effects ,I updated the VGA driver , but its still there . Any idea what that is ?? 

Hi community, We run renders on cloud VMs with 64GB RAM, and 16 vCPUs on Windows Server 2022 with 300 GB storage SSD. This is confirmed with multiple versions of `aerender` including 24.2 Beta. It appears that we can render the same `.aep` with the same settings, but some are drastically slower. We've been trying to track this down, and it appears that these slow renders have some commonalities:High Disk Operations (Read, Write)It appears that the Disk Cache folder grows continuously High Disk OperationsAs an example, highlighted in the image below, there are two render machines with high Disk Writes. You can see faintly in the background, other lines which are the good performing renders which generally have a much lower disk write rate (there may be some spikes at the beginning and end due to other pre/post processing steps we do), but the bad renders are just continuously high. On the other hand, this is what a healthy render does - with the middle part being the

I'm using 8 instances of AERender on a 12-thread machine and it's maxing out the cache disk activity part way into the render even though there's a bunch of free RAM (~15 GB free).  When this happens the per-frame render times go from ~45 seconds to ~120 seconds.  Then they go back down.  Then back up.  It seems to start at random times during the render but never right at the beginning.  I always get at least 30 - 40 frames or so before the cache disk starts going crazy.  Sometimes I get 100 frames before the problem arises.  I've tried rendering on two other computers and neither exhibits this behavior. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? Thanks, rgames

I've been having an issue with only After Effects CC (not any other program has given me this issue) on my windows computer ever since I got it a year ago, any After Effects file ~10 mb or larger is horrendously slow at saving and opening them. I would accept that my computer is just slow, but I've opened these same files on other older computers with much older CPU's and less RAM, and the same files can save and open in a matter of seconds.Today I opened up After Effects CC2020 without realizing I was disconnected from the internet, and I noticed my save times were no longer an issue. Normally it takes ~27 seconds & a  "Not Responding) freeze to save a ~10mb file on this computer, but I was shocked when the file saved in about 1 second. I then noticed I wasn't connected to the internet, and sure enough, re-enabling my ethernet replicated the freezin, slow saving & slow file opening. Are there any fixes to this? I brought this up the Adobe support months ago, but they

Hi! I'm using linear() for everything. It's my most common trick and I find it tremendously useful. But one thing I'm always missing is how to set it up so a have a falloff when the values end. Like this:I have a 4 custom sliders each going from 0-100 driving some kind of animation. I then have a master slider also going from 0-100 that I want to drive ALL these four sliders in one go, for easier and more fluid setup. If I here use linear() on each custom slider mapping 0-100 to 0-25 increments on the master slider, the value stays at 100 when the master slider goes past. What I'm looking for is a way to use linear() but also have falloff range.  What's the best way to achieve this? 

Hi, I'm trying to update to 2024, but CC will only display 23.6, and it says I'm up to date. My collegues are all on 24.0.0.I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling with no change in the result. I'm on Win. 10 22H2NVIDIA 3080 Thanks, Luke

I've been struggling to find out why After Effects suddenly hasn't got enough RAM to render more than 4 frames in a composition. After endless tries, I've found out that my dynamic links to Character Animator scenes were consuming a lot of RAM (around 2-3GB for just 3 scenes) even though I wasn't using compositions with those scenes. So, apparently, After Effects runs Character Animator in the background all the time when scenes are imported into an After Effects project. After deleting those scenes, now everything runs smoothly again. Hope I could help with this!  

Hi!I'm trying to link the start and end points of a gradient stroke to the same layer's path that only has 2 points. I tried many expressions, the closest I could get is with this one: tPath=content("Shape 1").content("Path 1").path;tLayer=thisLayertLayer.toComp(tPath.points()[1]) (see image) but the two are not lined. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hello, Is it possible for me to use Danfo.js in ExtendScript? I am trying to write some code in an ExtendScript jsx file that I can import into After Effects and use to construct a data visualization from a csv file. However, I'm not sure if its possible to import an external library like this or not. This is the danfo.js documentation: https://danfo.jsdata.org/Here is the github: https://github.com/javascriptdata/danfojs Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,I'm making a lower third graphic that I exported as a .mogrt (from Ae v17). It has a solid rectangle that I applied a Multiply blend mode, and a Fast Box Blur (so it would have a feathered outer edge) and it animates out horizontally to the right, text pops up, then the text goes away and the rectangle collapses back to the left to disappear. I set up the text and the rectangle to be editable in the Essential Graphics panel. Everything works great when I test it in AE, however when I import it into in Premiere Pro CC 20 via Essential Graphics, the rectangle is fully visible the entire time and doesn't animate.  Any thoughts?Thanks

Hey there, I saw this amazing type transition on the first five seconds on the video below and I tried to recreate it using text animators. (zero success so far) something weirds happens when I add a position animation on ramp up and after I add a scale animator only on the y it doesn't scale up to zero. Nothings happen instead its really weird.https://www.instagram.com/p/Cammi6cj16z/ Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

Hello, i'm on MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1, and i'm experiencing random "Unknown Exception" error when doing seemingly random things:-I can't create solid layers-I can't import .mov files ( works if i do a multiple file import and spam the import button in the Finder )-I can't double clic on a keyframe in the Graph Editor if the attribute has 2 values (position or scale - no error if i separate dimensions or if i work in a 3D layer) I tried multiple versions of After Effects, i tried emptying the cache folder, i even did a macOS update ( i had one pending ) but i'm still getting errors.Anyone has a clue as to what can be wrong? thanks in advance. i uploaded a screen capture also

Is there a way to receive a CSEvent when a project is opened in AfterEffects?https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_11.x/Documentation/CEP%2011.1%20HTML%20Extension%20Cookbook.md#standard-events-in-point-productsIt seems that the documentAfterActivate and documentAfterDeactivate shown on this page are not received by AfterEffects.I am using machine translation, so if you have any difficulties in understanding, please ask. Thank you.

I am developing a CEP.app.project.xmpPacket = metadata.serialize();We have found that calling the xmpPacket setter when a user is editing a text layer forces the user out of the text layer editing state.How do I know if the user is in the middle of editing text to avoid this, or some other good way to do this? Thank you.

when i use the 3d camera tracker the targets don't show up even though it says it's a successful track and the points show up, its just the targets that don't

Hello! Longtime VFX guy here, but I rarely use AE so I could use some help.  I need to 3d extrude text that is animating on via the range selector. But when I convert the text layer to a 3D layer it seems to completely ignore the range selector animate on function. Why is this? Can it not do this? I see that the 3d text layer DOES inherit the color value of the source text, so I tried changing it to "no fill" (does that mean zero alpha?) but... Once this is a 3d layer, I can range select the colors of the extruded 3d text to animate on, but the whole text is still THERE as an alpha channel that is red(?) for some reason. It even renders like that? So many questions. Why is the alpha channel premultiplied as red for some reason? And why is it even there if the range selector is at zero? I hope that this is not the way to go about achieving this effect and that there is a more After Effectsy way to do something simple like this.  It's just ani

I also apply slider control to control decimal point and also apply Math.round() Problem is when I put keframe to animate the trim path the decimal point comes back and I dnt know what I should do to get round figure like solid number. Please guide me. 

Hello everyone,I have a question about the new update and font. I did the Rosetta update. For this reason, I had to update the Adobe applications as well. And I started using after effects in rosetta mode. Yesterday there was no problem, but today the fonts I always use are not visible. When I open the font page and want to add it again, it says it already exists, as you can see in the attachments. But its name is not on the list, so I cannot delete it. I also tried 'reset fonts' and it didn't make any difference. Would you help me? I have Macbook Pro Sonoma 14

I am creating a dropdown menu to select a layer and make it visible according to dropdown selection. All layers are in a saperate comp and I have assigned a dropdown menu on saperate layer. I have 12 layers in comp for which i am using dropdown menu. From 1 to 9 items in dropdown menu, there is no issue, after 9th I cant see selected layer. whatever item I select from dropdown after 9, its hidden

Im fairly new to After Effects and currently learning to make Ali Abdaal style videos. When i Roto Brush subject and make with paper rip transition, everything work fine, but when i try to push all subject layers and paper transition layers down, so paper texture can fit on whole screen, it appears that paper rip fully dissapear and subject's background fills half the screen. I tried moving layers up and down, but nothing appears to work. For better look, i will give google drive link with video and some photos, and project files (if someone wants to see live) Thanks everyone!https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14Pkdm-XvRUUjWoOksbBidbNUEJ-mRszG?usp=drive_link

Good Evening, I've been using Rosetta on my mac since it came out. I upgraded to 2024 and found out that Rosetta was no longet supported, I upgraded my project and everything was running great until I exported my comps to media encoder, also 2024 version, and nothing happens, the comps never make it to media encoder. ME opens, but nothing happens after that. None of projects that used Rosetta that I upgrade to 2024 will export to media encoder. I've tried importing a 2023 project into a fresh 2024 project and same thing nothing exports to ME. I have AE and ME 2023 on my machine and I tried turning off Rosetta and exporting comps and I get the same thing, so I turned Rosetta back on so I could work. I've tried the usual uninstalling and re-installing multiple times. Lastly, if I just open AE 2024 and make something and export it out to ME 2024 it works as intended, but that is it! I don't know if there is a solution, not seeing this anywhere else, if anyone has a solution I'd be ve

For a few days now I’ve been experiencing annoying problems with files. mov (with and without alpha channel), specifically from about Monday Premiere Pro practically no longer read the animations exported by After Effects in format . mov, installing the beta version I had found a solution momentania since in that works, today I’m noticing a similar problem in After Effects, that is, it has problems loading files . mov just exported from After Effects same.... I’m installing the Beta version again and hope to fix it. But the question is, why??? Other programs such as Davinci Resolve can easily read . mov with alpha channel. If there are substantial changes in After Effects it would be nice to have a communication explaining in what format we now have to export the animations to be read in the apps of the suite; for example there is the possibility to expose the png sequences that work, but it is an impractical solution.
