After Effects

Dear Adobe and the professionals, Could you tell me which function will be available for fixing an issue that I cannot take a horizontal 360 video by 360 camera? It's not camera hardware and firmware issue.It will happen when I take a video by having a stick type tripod with 360 camera with my right hand or left hand. It will take a video more than 3 minute or 50 meter on foot.And it sometimes the angle of lens goes not to be front of the direction. I can confirm the angle at the end of destination. It will get right or left. My tripod is moving/slipping/screwing within my hand little by little til the shooting destination. It's unavoidable currently.Could you tell me it is possible to detect the center point of the video and keep the direction even when It's including route of corner?How can I make it correcting and keeping general quality by functionality of After Effects or Premiere pro? Could you tell me which function will be available for? Best regards,

Dear All, Could you tell me does it have the way to set/keep a center point of the 360 video view and the nadir by VR Comp editor using After Effects?There is a 5 mins 360 video that taken to walk within the park where is some corner.And, We cannot walk same pace to the destination now. I have a tripod with my right hand to shoot the scene and that is slanting to the left, right, front or back sometimes by unwanted signals. It's not my concentration and capability. It was not like that until 2018. So the results of the video has not center point sometimes.Please advice me how to fix the results by After Effects.Best regards,

Some of my layers (png layers) turned different colors, like pink green and white as if they are corrupted files. I had just finished animating my graphic when I decided to moved my work area to 15s instead of 120s. When I did that 8 layers started previewing as a solid color layer (pink/green/white) in the composition window. I closed the software and rebooted and the problem still persists. Any ideas?

All the AE SDK examples build a .aex plugin file. There is no support for CEP extensions in the examples. However, Adobe's online portal requires zxp files for listing. Has anyone uploaded a plugin to the Producer portal by converting to .zxp and then asked the user to install the .aex file manually ? Apparently the zxp format is just a modified zip format with a signed certificate for verification. Alternatively, how do you package the .aex file as .zxp so it can be uploaded to the Producer portal and then the user can extract the .aex and install to the plug-ins directory?

Exporting animation from Blender in glTF format. When importing into AE I get the object and materials but no animation. I thought this was supposed to work?

Hi everyone, really hoping someone can help. I am trying to count numbers from 00% to 100%. Please see expression below. But I want it to start with a zero in front like 00, 01,02,03...10,11,12, etc. When I add "0" + Math.round... it in keeps the 0 on every number like 01,02...010, 011, etc Any ideas?---------------------------------beginCount = 0;stopCount = 100; beginTime = 0; // start counting at time = 0countDur = 5; // count for 5 seconds "" + Math.round(linear(time,beginTime,beginTime + countDur,beginCount,stopCount)) + "%"

Is there a script out there to turn on motion blur in one shot? I have a script that does one comp at a time... but I have a plethora of comps to do.

Hi all, I'm still new at this, but whenever I bring a GLB file into AE nothing shows, even when I change the orientation can't see anything, I can see the outline of the model, but no model just a black composition.  I'm using a 1.4 GHz quad-core Intel core i5 (old I know) update version of MacOS Sonoma and the latest version of AE  I even tried in thr beta version same issue. Please help, thanks in advanced

Hi,is there such an option or script? To turn motion blur on for all the layers in the project or in the selected and nested compositions. 

Hello, I can't make it through the tutorial 2D to 3D Projection mapping Tutorial for Adobe After Effects - YouTube  with a jpeg image, as in material options there is no "light transmission" option under the "casts shadows" unlike in the tutorial, I even downloaded the file of tutorial itself and it opened with this option. By creating a new file with another jpeg it still the same issue. how to enable it or what alternative is there maybe to make it work?

Since the latest update (23.6) on my Mac, After Effects crashes almost every time I try to preview using spacebar. I have purged everything, tried safe mode, doesn't help. Please help!

Hello,after updating to CC 2018, I noticed one issue. During the preview of quite simple project, I keep getting this error:What I have in particular in the project:Few compositions>Inside them there is one image (3000x2000), which scales up using Transform Effect to fill the comp size. Comp size: 1280x720System info:Is there any chance to get rid of it, without going to Software Only mode?  OR, the GPU simply has not enough memory to handle the GPU acceleration?Thank you up front!

Hello, I am tired of this, After effects just keeps crashing all the time, every 10 - 20 seconds, and that generally happens when I do something in the timeline, I have lost lots of progress just because of this. I have sufficient storage + I am only using After Effects and a browserI am using the latest version of After Effects, and have sufficient system requirements to support the application  

After I move a audio clip around the Current Time Indicator/red bar disappears. Exiting, saving and re-entering the project seems to fix it. Can anyone help me out with steps to fix. I am on a M1 Macbook 

After Effects 24.2.1 is Here Good day, Everyone, The previous release made quite an impact, garnering widespread appreciation for its introduction of new features to seamlessly integrate 3D objects into scenes. Building upon that success, the February release has arrived. Alongside enhancements to 3D functionality, this update brings a number of bug fixes to ensure a smoother user experience. Don't hesitate - install After Effects 24.2.1 today. What's New Import OBJ 3D models Besides GLTF and GLB formats, After Effects now also allows you to import 3D model files in OBJ format. You can import the .obj file and any associated .mtl files (material) to add them to your composition, animate, and render them in the same 3D space as native After Effects cameras, lights, and other 3D layers.      MOGRT preview thumbnails Export Motion Graphics template with a video preview of the primary composition as a thumbnail for quick visualization within Premiere Pro.   &

I'm using my Mac. When running aftereffect 24.4 version <Unable to convert Unicode characters> <Unable to load seudo effects> error. I uninstalled version 24.4 and installed the previous version. It runs normally with version 24.3.0. I think it's a 24.4 version bug.Please improve the bug.

"After Effects can't copy layer with a parent of with a linked expression while an Undo Group is open." I get this error when I try to copy some layers, that indeed are involved in parenting.Nevertheless, I just wanna copy these, regardless of any 'Undo Groups'.Think it is some kind of coding issue, or a poor desicription in the error message. It appeared first while working with an extension,  in a fresh updated Ae - version 23.5.0 (build 52).    

     Hello! I have a problem, i had AE 2017 and AE 2020 on my mac. I changed default app from ae 20 to ae 17 because of reasons, and after that ALL ICONS of After Effects project files changes from default AE square to some weird AE square on a piece of paper: I deleted AE 2017 and this didn't solve the problem. Today i deleted AE 2020 and re installed it again, didn't help. I tryed to google this issue - but all i found was "how to change AE APP icon, not project files icon. For example, premiere pro icons and AI icons are fine: Anyone have some solution? All works fine but this icon is ugly, and i dont like it.Thanks for your response.And im sorry for grammar, im not native speaker. 

Hello, I need some help.I'm watching a tutorial online and noticed that I do not have a SOURCE drop-down menu option to switch the source of an effect to 'effects & masks'. Is there a reason why I do not have that option? Is there a way for me to get that back there?Here are some screen grabs.My version is at the bottom.

I'm trying to use a script(Motion Tools Pro). But when I try to use it the error "Allow scripts to write file and access network" comes up and guides me to do it on (Edit-Preferences). But whenever I do that after effects hang up. I already tried removing the(Motion Tools Pro) if it will help. But it's not, then I tried to reinstall and clear all disks on after effects. It's still the same even if I try (Reset Preferences) and Start in on Safe Mode. I'm currently on a free trial. Please help me!

A deep dive into how computers were able to render digital images on physical film.   Back in 2019, I posted a question on CreativeCow.net wondering how it was possible that a computer in the 1980s could render an image onto a celloid film strip. The answers I got to that post led me down a rabbit hole of competing technologies, historical imperatives and some fascinating anecdotes. I talk about John Whitney and his work, Lee Harrison and the Scanimate team, John Whitney Jr and Gary Demos at Triple-I, later Digital Productions and of course, I talk about the PDP-10, Foonly F1 and Cray XMP computers.   I've tried to sum up my findings here and inevitably, I will have missed out crucial steps and glossed over important points. Still I hope you find this VFX history entertaining, if not informative.
