After Effects

I'm trying to create a graph with multiple lines based on a CSV file with different columns of data. Two columns in particular have values that go above 1000000 and I think here is the problem. Because the other columns don't give me any problem and I can create a line for each of those. When I do the same process for the columns with values with values over 1000000, I receive this error. I will upload an image of the spreadsheet, of the expression and the sliders that I'm using. You may ask "Why do you use a point control instead of a slider control for the Y values?" Because only the point control can reach values above 1 million, however this doesn't seem to work, I don't know where is the problem.

I discuss that:   Sound effects such as thunder or rain were added in aftereffects.

This has always been an issue. I was half expecting it to be fixed for the latest AE release but of course the devs have been too busy adding pointless 3D renderers rather than actually fixing the huge problems in the playback engine.In a 25fps UHD comp the preview from the Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k lags behind the main display by a huge amount, we're talking seconds here, not just frames and it gets worse the longer the preview plays for. No issues at HD and I get realtime playback in UHD with Resolve and Premiere so there's no blame to be put on the BM card, just AEs shocking Mercury Playback engine. This basically means that as of 2017 AE is still incapable of playing back UDH footage to an external monitor. Nice job adobe.AE 14.0.1.5Win 105930k64Gb ram2 x 980ti

I imported an AI file into AE, i then added a new layer in my AI doucument, but it won't appear in my AE document, i've tried importing as composition (retain layer size), as footage too, also tried relaoding footage, nothing seems to work, any help much appreciated

Running After Effects 2021 (18.2.0) on Windows. Program runs well. When I quit, it takes a long, long time to close out the program. Oftern I'll use Task Manager to quit. This behavious seems to have started within the last two updates. 

I'm trying to use the 3D camera tracker to place my own video on the television set that the woman is watching (circled).  However, when I inputted my video, it comes out blurry. I tried calling Adobe Support but they just sent me the 3D tracker manual which is not helping in this instance. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and any help would be appreciated. 

ich habe ein After Effects Projekt, dass ich auf einem Mac erstellt habe und nun auf meinem Windows PC (Win11, RTX 4070) weiter bearbeiten möchte. Wenn ich das Projekt öffne ist erstmal alles normal. Sobald ich aber eine bestimmte Komposition in der Vorschau abfahre stürzt After Effects ab. in dieser Komposition gibt es nur zwei Farbflächen mit einem Verlauf und Schlagschatten die sich bewegen.  Ich hab schon einiges probiert, aber weiß nun einfach nicht mehr weiter.

Is it possible to change the canvas color in After Effects? I.e. the color outside compositions.If working with a dark movie it's sometimes hard to see the edges./P

I've got a composition of an animated bug. I have a script that gives it random movement left and right with pauses (so it'll crawl randomly left or right, stop, then crawl again at random intervals).I'm looking for a way to flip the composition to face the direction it is moving and STAY that way while paused. I'm currently using this hackey way to flip the X scale depending on the direction it's moving, but it always goes back to facing one way when it stops, when it should be facing the way it was facing when it stopped. var movement = transform.position.velocity; if (movement[0] < 0) { transform.scale } else { [transform.scale[0]*-1,transform.scale[1]] }I hope that makes sense? Any help would be awesome, thanks!

This problem only seems to start after 10 minutes or so of using After Effects.Every effect I add or try to edit in the effects panel in my project causes After Effects to jump into a pre comp and select a random solid layer. Really frustrating.  The only way I can continue working is by going back to the main comp and having to edit the effect properties in the layers window rather than the effects panel. This is really tedious when dealing with multiple layers with multiple effects. Copying and pasting the effect has the same result.I moved to 24.0.2 release due to an error that was stopping me from previewing anything with the Cinema 4D 3D renderer enabled - but this new error is even worse!Any thoughts on a solution?Window 10AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor64GB RAMEVGA GeForce GTX 1080ti 11GB FTW3 Graphics Card

Aunque ya he hecho varios vídeos de AE, me considero un usuario novel. En estos momentos, estoy con un macOs versión 12.7.4, procesador 3,2 GHz Intel Core i5 de 4 núcleos, 32 GB de memoria, tarjeta gráfica AMD Radeon R9 M380 2GB, y casi 400 GB de memoria SSD. Anteriormente estaba con un equipo inferior en procesador y memoria, pero a veces también me pasaba el problema que voy a contar. Es más, vídeos que hice con el anterior equipo y versión 22 de After Effects, ahora los abro con el nuevo equipo (más potente se supone), y con versión 23 o 24 de After, y también me hace el fallo. El problema que tengo es que el procesamiento de vídeo a H264 no se realiza correctamente ni en la propia cola de AE ni si lo llevo a Media Encoder. En uno y otro lugar, la previsualización la hace correctamente pero cuando abro el mp4 resultante, o bien sale un vídeo negro, o bien sale un vídeo en el que no está la animación completa. Es decir, si el vídeo dura por ejemplo 20 segundos por ejemplo, los p

Bonjour,Impossible d'ouvrir After effects (24.0.2) et Media encoder (24.0.2) , blocage à l'ouverture sur "Initialisation de MediaCore"Je suis sur Windows 11 avec carte graphique Nvidia RTX A5000(voir fichier crash en PJ)Quelqu'un a une idée pour résoudre mon problème ?Merci beaucoup,Anna

Hi, I am prototyping an interactive installation and need to trigger a local server over TCP/ Socket.I'd like to use layer markers to set the point in time when this call is happening. I managed to bild a script that compares current time and marker time, but it only works when manually placing the playhead and not during playback. I also looked into using expressions to track the markers with the same result. Is there any way to monitor and trigger during playback eg. pulling the previewtime as reference? Appreciate any thoughts or ideas!

Hi Everybody, I tried importing an MP4 with excellent color and upon import the color is terrible, really washed out. (image attached). I looks fine in the browser window or Quicktime, but in After Effects it looks awful. I had the same problem in Premiere and updating the display color fixed the problem, but I can't find the resolve for AE (or Photoshop). Can somebody please tell me why this is happening or what the fix might be? 

I'll be able to use After Effects as usual for 5-20 minutes before it freezes for two and then shuts down my whole MacBook for 10 minutes. Once I've got it on again, I get this error message from my MacBook and another from After Effects. I've tried creating new projects (so it's not a corrupted file), uninstalling and reinstalling the application, and clearing the cache, but still, nothing has fixed this. Both my MacBook and After Effects are fully updated. I've been able to use After Effects fine before, so I have no idea what has caused this.

Complete beginner here...do be kind. When I import a video clip into AE to stabilize camera shake, the image is tiny. I'm assuming I need proper settings on my dslr, which I did set according to the manual. Do I need to alter them at import? Any help greatly appreciated.

Hey all! I have the following expression in a template:comp("_CHANGE_LANGUAGE_HERE_").layer("Story01_End").text.sourceText.split("§").join("\r"); text.sourceText.style.setFont("Oswald-Bold"); The first part grabs a text from a tsv file, selects a language using a dropdown and adds line breaks based on the "§" symbols in that text. That works fine. We've recently added a new language that requres a different font (Omnes vs OmnesGreek, both from Adobe Fonts), because it can't display the greek letters. So I'm planning to change the font to the Greek version, if the dropdown "GR" is selected. However, as a basic proof of concept I'm trying it without any of that logic here, just trying to override the font panel font with the new font (in the example Oswald-Bold is selected, that's a copy error but I can't edit the code snippet, ignore that). But this doesn't work. With the first bit of code, I can change the language and it supplies the text from the tsv. As soon as I add

I am trying to make it particles look like they are shooting out from the large circle like shape at the bottom, and I am using CC Particle World due to it having the look I am going for. The particles' emitions are tied to music, and this is causing me an issue. I can set the producer to be the shape of the large particle so that the particles shoot off at the correct angles, but then the travel for those particles is very long making it not actually match with the music when the particles appear. I can set the producer to be smaller, but then the particles shoot off at the wrong angles. I wanted to ask if anyone had any advice or solutions to fix this problem. Thank you! 

I'm trying to import a stepped sequence into After Effects, with one frame every 10 frames.Is there any way to import this as a sequence, ignoring the missing frames and showing the last frame for the duration of missing frames?So if I'd have frame 0,10,20 etc. frame 10 would show for 10-19 in the sequence. I know I can do this manually by dropping all frames on the timeline, cut and sequence them, but I'm hoping for some script or quicker way to do this. Thanks

I need to zoom in to see where is the model

When importing from After Effects, the psd file comes as a photo but does not open as a composition. I check the layer layout and there are no problems. 4 studies have the same problem, but one does not. Why could it be? They were all prepared the same way.

I'm having the hardest time applying the tracking data to a video file that is supposed to go onto a phone. After using Mocha to track the screen, when I create the tracking data and apply it to a solid or a video, the content moves into the frame correctly but it won't track throughout the rest of the shot. Appreciate any help!

Hi! I love the new built-in feature "create nulls from paths." However, sometimes I get an issue where the newly created nulls are not where they should be. Please see the examples below, where the front leg of the bicyclist kicks out four misplaced nulls. Anyone else having this issue? Any workarounds? Fixes? Advice?Thanks!

(Images attached below) I recently updated my version of after effects to 24.3, but now it won't open and all i'll receive is this message stating my last session crashed:It gives me about 2 seconds before this screen will pop up, giving me no time to interact with any of the options above:When I view the report It looks like this, and I'm not sure where to go from here:I can't open any past version of After Effects as the same issue occurs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and every other Creative Cloud app works just fine. I also have no plugins so I'm not sure what else could be causing the crashing.

Arguably the best video use for AI generated images is Matte Paintings. While you can use generative AI for all sorts of things, it often has limitations for films, movies and TV show, not to mention web content - mainly because its static and a bit lifeless. AI video generation looks impressive, but that could be a while before it becomes main stream. In the meantime, the artists who create matte paintings have been finding ways to get movement and life into their artwork using techniques perfected for over a century of movie making. In this video, I take an image generated by Adobe Firefly and animate the clouds, add water, make the leaves on the trees flutter, animate a 3D camera to push in and even add stock footage of birds! All to bring the scene to life. And as always, I'll try to introduce you to tools in After Effects that you may not be familiar with, like the liquify effect, adding layer markers and track mattes.
