After Effects

Hello,I have two questions.The first one is related to Adobe Premiere. In Premiere, we can use the (S) key for snapping, which makes it easier to cut or adjust two objects precisely at a specific point. Additionally, we can use the (C) key for cutting. How can I achieve the same functionality in After Effects?The second question is crucial. When I preview a clip containing sound and press the (Next Frame) button, in Premiere, I used to hear the start of the sound. However, in After Effects, I don't hear anything. Why is that?

hey guys, is there a way to pick every second or every third of a frame whilst doing it, as I am not happy with the effect am getting whilst doing it the normal way (every single frame) it just doesn't look natural enough. TIA

Dear Community, I have studied everything I could find on this subject.  This expression works as desired by connecting the points of a path with the corresponding number (16) of null objects by linking the position: points = [ thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.00]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.01]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.02]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.03]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.04]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.05]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.06]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.07]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.08]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.09]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Null [1.1.10]").transform.position - [1000, 1000], thisComp.layer("Nul

AE 23 had issues with some plug in (mostly Trapcode) but it worked. AE 24 has more issues with the plug ins even when disabled, it would crash every few minutes. I've now deleted the plug ins entirely since I didn't use them much, now AE 24 won't import a simple photoshop file - it freezes and is unresponsive and needs a force quit. And now AE 23 does the same with importing, it freezes and needs a force quit. I'm back to AE 22 which works. Everything in the Adobe Cloud is updated. I'm on an iMac, 10 core Intel i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5300 4 GB, 64GB DDR4, running Ventura 13.3. Anyone else having these issues? It's sucking up my time.

Hi Everybody, I have a project where I'm exporting a file at 1200x275, but when it comes out the MP4 is 1220x274...? I tried locking the aspect ratio, exporting the hiehg a pixel larger. It won't export the height of the file at 275...? Anybody had this happen before? Is there a hack fix of some kind?

I'm sorry my English is bad Hello guys i have a problem with ui font sizeI am using after effects 2021 I changed ui font size but I entered a large number and this is what happened how can i fix it? And I already tried reset my workspace it didn't work 

Hey! Was looking how I would go about replicating this visual of a voice chat. I've built the background block that highlights the word spoken but you can see it move from one position to another.  I created this but animating the 'size' of the rectangle and then attaching a null to it as it move from each position. How do I create this so that it just appears behind each word without seeing it move from/to each new position? Basically in the same way as source text works where each keyframe just happens and appears without seeing a transformation of it move each timeVideo effect I'm trying to learn how to do: https://poly.ai/resources/?_resource_type=call-recording

Hey there guys, I've been tasked with using particles for a client video, and I'm not too experienced in the are so plz help! I have to create a particle trail which signifies data moving from one place to another. I'm not entirely sure how this is going to look yet. The data trail is going to move through people doing sports, shot by shot, interacting with the environment and the people in the scene by moving behind them, whirling around things etc. I know this is going to need a way of making particles, and then a way to comp into the scene. I do have Trapcode Particular, but just tried to use it and it must be the most intensive thing I've ever used in my life. I have a pretty hefty machine and it grinds it to a halt. How would you guys make the particles, and how would you go about realistically tracking into the scene? Thanks

How can I resolve this issue where there are these boxes around this sun effect that I am trying to create?

Is it possible to add javascript functions that the user can interact with as an entry point for my plugin? Let's say I wanted to add an FFT function that could be run on a particular instance of my effect plugin or something like that. Could I enhance the JS programming environment or expose Js functions from my plugin?

Is there a really quick way to offset key frames?  I got hundred or so layers which is got to fade out in reverse.  Sequence layers very is just terrible for trying to do this simple task. It just takes me forever to get my head around it.  Even when I get it working the timings are not quite right.Are there any free plugins that can make the task easier. I did find a expression gradient driver but it is too memory intensive.  Thank you in advace. 

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently facing an issue with the Motion Bro extension, and I'm seeking assistance to resolve it. When attempting to use the Motion Bro function to adapt a photo to a video and clicking on the "Ring" button, I encounter an error message that says "Can't Find Puppet Select Layer," among other details. I'm a bit perplexed about what steps to take next. Could someone kindly provide guidance on how to address this issue? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In After Effect (24.0.2 build 3) How is it possible that I have the same project, same color, but when I export in Apple ProRes 4444 (same settings with alpha) the red of the two elements is different when I import the two exported into Premiere (both during editing and export), is it a problem or something that I leave out, or is it a bug?Thank for reply.  

Hi! New to After Effects. I just wanted 2 rotating in place pentagons one in another. Can get it done. Everytime pentagons shifting from center. Already tried null object and it didn't help. 

Whenever I try to use Adobe Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and After Effects, I end up getting some strange effects (Stereo Mixer, Stereo Mixer 2) in After Effects, which make my audio sound quieter compared to Premiere Pro. Therefore, I have to manually turn off those effects in After Effects to hear the original sound.Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hi, I'm trying to get logo (in the video below) to morph into a circle. I converted the .ai vector layers of the logo to shape layers and then I copied the path keyframe from a circle shape into the timeline for the logo layers to convert to. However, as you can see in this video, the logo shapes seem to crinkle inward and flip around before spreading out into a circle shape. Is there a simple way to get the logo to simply stretch out into the circle shape and not crinkle up at all? https://youtu.be/-LgvISY8ftI Thanks for your help! 

Hi there!  I'm working with someone's AE file, and I need to understand something.  A shape layer has a Group that contains multiple dashed strokes that all move along the line ... and loop.  They're using an expression on the Offset property on each stroke: one stroke will have:-time * 24 * 6 + 25 then the one below will have:-time * 24 * 6 + 250 And the next one will have:-time * 24 * 6 + 1000 Can someone break this down for me?

So, I was editing, and suddenly I realize there is a blue and grey hashtag/grid by one of the sources I am using for said edit. Though I did add some paint on the source, and I believe that is why the grid is there, because it wasn't there before I had added the paint. Now when I go to preview the video, the one clip turns black, but when I click on a frame of the clip, it reappears. All the other clips are working, just not that one clip I added paint to. I have added paint to clips in previous projects, though this never seemed to happen. I tried to render/export the clip in hopes it would be fine, but it exported just a black screen as well. I can't seem to right-click on the grid or do anything with it.Here are my current sources, and as you can see, there is the grid on the source I added paint to:

Is it possible to change the ruler color you prefer? 

Is it possible to create a MOGRT for a wipe transition, like below, where the mask is applied to the two layer of video footage within premier?  I'm basicly looking to avoid doing this manually each time in Premier.

Hi, I updated AE to 2024 and it's been impossible for me to even work on this basic template: https://elements.envato.com/es/christmas-photos-logo-reveal-MD3JTU4 I don't know if it's compatibility or what, I have 64 GB on Ram, and it says "I'm out of memory" ?I don't understand, please help 

Bonjour,Mon problème ne concerne q'un projet.Lorsque je souhaite utiliser stabilisation déformation dans Ae, "impossible d'obtenir un projet dynamic link"apparait et m'empêche de poursuivre. J'ai fait plusieurs tests qui me confirment que je n'ai le problèque que sur ce projet là.La seule différence, mais elle est importante, c'est que c'est un fichier de récupération après un crash d'After Effect.Donc ma question est est simple, est-il possible de réparer le problème ? De contourner dynamic link ?( Stopper "dynamiclinkmanager" dans le moniteur d'activité ne fonctionne pas)Car malheureusement j'ai continué longtemps sur ce projet sans aucun problème avant d'avoir eu besoin de stabiliser un plan.Merci d'avanceGreg (AppleM1/Monterey)

Dear Community, I have the following problem/goal: When object #1 gets closer to object #2, the distance between #2 and #3 must be reduced. (Object #3 should, however, always retain its position)  The following solution is not satisfying, because although the position is manipulated, the movement is not always oriented to the center (where object number 3 is located): var p1 = thisLayer.position; var p2 = thisComp.layer("Effector").position; var delta = sub(p1,p2); var distance = length(delta); linear(distance, 0, 250, [value[0],value[1]+100], [value[0],value[1]]); Thank you in advance for your expertise.
