After Effects

Hello,So I'm currently making a graphic that animates text word by word but when there is one word it only appears half way through the animation. Is there anyway i could get it to always start with one word viable and then animate in? Extra info;I have the text animate using opacity where it goes from 0 to 100% within on frame. so the text pops in word by word. If you need any more info im happy to give it.

Hello all,I am currently wondering how to adjust the bounding box around shapes in After Effects. I have a file imported from illustrator and the bounding box for the object is the size of the composition. How do I go about fitting the bounding box to the shape. Here is a snap shot of what I am talking about. I have a sun I made but the frame is way to big!

Hey guys, this is a simple question. I'm using the plugin Element 3D in After Effects and most of the 3D objects look pixelated on the edges...(see pic below)What setting in After Effects am i missing here? This doesn't give the illusion of a real object. 😞Please help!

I would like to know if there is a shortcut to make the Current Time Indicator jump from a Keyframe created at the beginning of the animation to a second keyframe on the same layer.Example, I made a position animation from 1 second to 5 seconds, I created two keyframes, from the 2nd keyframe I want to create another animation with opacity from 5 to 10 seconds, is there a shortcut that allows my time needle to jump between these keyframes??? 

Good morning, I have a problem loading previews of jpg sequences in after effects. It's extremely slow, when opening the project it even struggles to get me to view the first frame.I work on a qnap NAS with SSD, with a high-performance PC and a 10 GBe network.I have done some tests with other PCs connected to the same NAS and I have no problems. (I also have a PC with identical hardware to the one with the problem)If I open the project saved on a shared folder on the NAS, inside an SSD raid, the preview is extremely slow, almost stuck on jpg sequences.I tried enabling and disabling the cache, changing the folder, enabling and disabling multi-frame rendering, doing a purge, updating the video card drivers, using after effects 2023 also 2024, opening the project directly from the network or mapping the shared folder on the PC by giving it a label (z:) and various other things but the problem persists.The strange thing is that if I open the same project saved on the PC's local disk or ope

Suddenly whenever I create a new project, the preview plays back at about 3 frames per second. It doesn't seem to affect old projects. I have my preview frame rate set correctly and set to skip 0 frames. I usually play back at quarter resolution but it doesn't seem to affect anything. My graphics drivers are up to date, and my Windows PC runs very well. This is stopping me from working on any projects, so would like an explanation. Thanks!

I need to change my preferences inside After Effects and Premiere Pro, but for some reason the screen freezes indefinitely and I have to force quit it. My PC is a Windows 10 machine. I have tried this on:Adobe Premiere V 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021Adobe After Effects V 2024, 2023, 2022The same behavior is present in all of those versions. Media Encoder does not have this glitch though. I have no idea how to fix this glitch, I have searched through multiple forums/discussions and so far none of them have helped me fixed it. The following is what I have tried so far: Uninstall/reinstall applicationTry other versionsDeleted cache and old preference filesReset preferences/settings to defaultUpdated Graphics CardUpdated MSI MotherboardChanged Audio hardwareI genuinely have no idea why this bug is present. Unfortunately I have yet to find a solution to this problem.

Bonjour, Un fichier sauvé sur AE 2023 contenant les LUTs Technical dans Lumetri s'ouvre sans LUTs dans la version v2024, sur Windows 10 Pro. Avez vous le même problème ? Merci,Olivier

This error happends every moment. How can I fix it? Thanks

Got a project where I have an adjustment layer with Posterize Time and two Turbulent Displace instances on, to emulate a handdrawn effect. It has a "time*4" expression on the Random Seed. As soon as I preview or render After Effects crashes. If I disable the turbulent displace, everything works fine. I never had problems with this effect as I have used in many times. I already tried a fresh install of all adobe products. Latest Nvidia Studio Driver installed.Crashlog attached. 

In Ae 2023 the calculations effect was working fine, but in Ae 2024 it's not.The effect is not getting the layer styles from the second source as it should.I need to close and reopen the project in order for it to work properly and get the layer styles.

Opening After affects and it shows me a message for one second saying you cant run it because you need Cinema 4D  or when I want to open after affects normally it says this |(picture shown in the description) and crashes to continue and then it just crashes. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it hasn't worked. Please help

I have been having a hell of time with AE's rotobrush/scoping feature, but was hopeful that the latest AE (24) version would fix the rotobrush issues, as advertised. Whereas before, this feature would prompt a doom loop of endless frame propogation, now AE 24's rotobrush tool simply won't event capture the object I identify using the green marker. It seems to capture the whole frame only. This is after I've cut up my clip in 20 sec. segments, rendered these pieces out in PP, and opened them individually in AE (this was suggested as a method for avoiding the frame propogation doom loop). All of this is extremely discouraging and I don't know how a feature like this can be released when there are clearly longstandinging, persistant issues with it. 

I want to use the adjustment layer from my project 1 to use in project 2. In project 2 I import the composition with the adjustment layer. Then I copy the adjustment layer where needed.  When I now delete the imported composition, the copied layer also disappears? Have also tried with duplicate instead of copy, same result. Is there a way to use only the layer and have the imported composition (with the original layer) deleted?

When in a team project and I write text, right click, and select relace with AE comp to bring that text into After Effects the transition wont work and with make a "placeholder" instead in After Effects. Anyone have this issue?

Hi all! first post out of pure desparation... In short: UI is slow (like often "power point presentation slow" and especially Trapcode plugins are almost unusable. Maxon Support basically said "deal with it" (details see bottom) but these plugins aside it still it runs much smoother on colleagues's slightly older but similar pcs (all HP). My IT's last suggestion was that it might "just" be a Windows issue (Colleagues Win10, myself Win11), although on my private pc (Win11) it is running okay. Pls don't mark this as a pure "Trapcode problem" although this is currently our main issue. I have been using After FX for 20y+ now and notice when the general performance drops, which it unfortunately did over the last versions 😞 - this is the main issue, but they might be related.We also noticed similar performance drops in the newest Photoshop version - not the topic here but it shows that this might also be related. Thx for your suggestions! Examples: Selecting

please help, how do i rectify this.  

AE 24.0.2 and AE Beta 24.1 crashes up startup.  If I reboot and delete cache folders it will sometimes startup, but when opening existing files or creating new files it will freeze and I have to end task and reboot again.I was able to open a new project once with 24.1 Beta, but once I tried to use Roto Brush to outline for matteing then AE froze.  I've removed it and reinstalled numerous times with AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool with no success.  Premier Pro and other Adobe program work, but I need AE to remove background(s) because the Chrome Keys don't a good job. I've had an existing Support case number ADB-31399659-W4G6 open for sometime, but they haven't been any help.  This really impacting one of my major project with a client and I need help ASAP to get this resolved.Here's one example of what it is freezing on upon startup:   

I have a big problem with After my project crashes at a specific momentI'm having a problem with After Effects.Everything was fine until I closed After Effects yesterday and rebooted my PC.Now, every time I reopen it, After Effects opens normally, but if I try to load my AEP project (which is in dynamic link with my Premiere Pro project from the same year)it loads up to 88% and then systematically freezes.I've tried with an old autosave, same thing, I have to go back far enough in the autosaves for one to open without a hitch, but it's far too old for me to let myself lose such a large amount of work.I don't understand how this happens, I just know that the project can open, if I move the source files of my project, which are used in it (for example I move my illustrations and the Premiere Pro project somewhere else, then my After Effects project opens correctly, but without my loaded media of course because they've been moved. And if I try to reload them, After Effects crashes again).

20 minutes of testing v24 and I cnnot turn on the transparent background.windows22h2 threadripper 3955nvidia 4090bit annoyingso not one person on the beta was working with transparent background? (not as annoying as being forced to add tags or have a really small title character limit though)Maybe the next AI project can just do the tagging for me please? you could use some 1970s subject analysis tools 

Upgraded from 24 to 24.02 changed a Prores4444 custom preset from straight to matte alpha wirth no warning. Mac m2 tower. 

Abres After Effects y es imposible reproducir nada, desde el inicio ya te da Error de After Effects: La previsualización de caché precisa 2 o más fotogramas para poderse reproducir.Es una vergüenza que Adobe me esté cobrando por usar una aplicación que no funciona y tenga que utilizar Davinci Resolve Studio para hacer lo que con After Effects es imposible. Mucha AI, pero no arreglan lo más simple.

Hey guys is there any way I can edit a .ffx file. What program can I use to do this? Thanks
