After Effects

I'm a bit lost here I've tried uninstalling, updating drivers deleting cached data in my user profile but After Effect keeps crashing every so often on launch.  I've enabled logging but I've noticed it is only generating the log file when the application launches.Log file created: 04/09/24 09:50:05-------------------------------------Ticks = 16 <2192> <AppVers> <5> App Version = 24.2.1x2 releaseTicks = 16 <2192> <AppDirs> <5> App Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support FilesTicks = 16 <2192> <AppDirs> <5> Executable Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support FilesTicks = 16 <2192> <AppDirs> <5> Resources Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support FilesTicks = 16 <2192> <AppDirs> <5> Package Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support FilesTicks = 16 <2192> <AppDirs> <5> Plugin Dir = C:\Program

Hello,  recently I had to split a project of 20 comps into 20 smaller reduced projects.So for every comp, I selected the desired comp (in the project panel), went in "File", "Dependencies", "Collect Files" then I ticked "Selected Comps" and "Reduce Project".The issue I encountered is that every time I used the "Collect Files" feature, an additional composition would appear in the resulting file. This extra composition, along with all its associated footage, was not selected prior to initiating the collection process. Opening them up afterward and removing the extra composition and footage was quite bothersome. I attempted to resolve the issue by closing and reopening After Effects, hoping it would rectify the problem, but unfortunately, the same issue persisted. It seems to be a bug without a doubt.

Good day!I have this scene, the camera moves slightly (no tripod) and there's a little panning when another character enters the room. I'd like to add a poster on the wall (which is quite white with no reference points) or above the heather, if it's easier. And the poster should move accordingly to the camera. I can't seem to use the camera track (not enough points, even with detailed analysis checked). I also can't really stabilize the scene because there is a bit of 3D distortion and no two clear points.Is there any other alternative, besides reshooting the scene? I attach the video, just in case.Thanks a lot 

When I was just exporting a project from After Effects, halfway through, it told me it got an error, something involved with the tint effect (I didn't read the error properly!); it stopped exporting and told me to save the project as a new file before it shuts down automatically.  Now, when I open up the new save file, every tint effect I used in my project says it's "missing", and it no longer applies its effect. Even when i try to import another tint effect into the effects controls, it still comes up as missing and wont work. And in the effects and presets menu, the effect is under a new folder "Missing" Please Help!!  

I have to build several small lottie animations (20) which I arranged in folders in one big file. I'm working on this file since weeks. When I went back to check other animations, I realized that the animations were gone, there were no files in the comps anymore. I did not forget to save or another mistake as there are several comps missing layers & animations.  I deleted disk cache (although my machine has 36GB RAM) I also installed the latest version 24.3.0. Is there maybe a setting which isn't correct. Is there a bug I'm not aware of? Any help / suggestion is welcome, thanks.

I’m trying to create a MOGRT with some unique functionality I haven’t seen anywhere else online. Our clients use two weights of font on their Video Captions (which currently they type manually) in order to highlight specific words within the text. So for example, they might like to style: “The Quick Brown Fox, jumps over the lazy dogs”as“The Quick Brown Fox, jumps over the Lazy Dogs“ The solution i’m currently using is a bit of a workaround, based on Jarle Leirpoll’s example in making Mogrts ebook. string = thisComp.layer("Highlighted Words").text.sourceText.split("+");result = 0;for (i = 0; i < string.length; i++){if (textIndex == parseInt(string[i],10)){result = 100;break;}}result Using this running through an expression selector in the Amount Setting, I can successfully tie this to a stroke width animator to give the characters a bit of extra thickness based on a simple code in a separate hidden text layer i.e 1+3+4+5+9+10 Applies the effect to

Hello!I've imported a logo from Illustrator that contains some shapes and text.When I drag the .eps or the .ai into my After Effects timeline, it looks fine.When I attempt to convert to shape from vector, the text in the logo disappears. The Illustrator file is all isolated layers and no groups. The text layers are even at the top.Thoughts?  

So I decided to try the "real" C4D from Maxon for its 14-day trial, but I decided to just stick with what I have, so I uninstalled the C4D software. Only problem now is AE2024 is complaining that I have to install C4D to use the renderer, and it says that to do that I have to go through the Creative Cloud app (and so on). Trouble is, when I click "Get Add-Ons" from the AE hamburger menu in the Creative Cloud app, C4D already shows "added," and I can't (re-)install it. I've already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling AE. What do I need to do to fix this?

Hi,I've been working a few hours on this with no luck, maybe anyone here can help:I have an issue on Mac with a script where I want to transcode some files using ffmpeg.Here's what's going on:var cmd = pathToFFMpegBin + '/ffmpeg -h';var output = system.callSystem(cmd);alert(output);This works well, the command is executed and the alert shows the help for ffmpegBut with the full command line to encode a file, like:var cmd = pathToFFMpegBin + "/ffmpeg -h -i " + inputFilePath + " -c pcm_f32le " + outputFilePath;var output = system.callSystem(cmd);alert(output);After Effects freezes (with the mouse cursor being the waiting cursor) like it's stuck in an endless loopThe alert is not shown, the script is stuck at the callSystem line.BUT: the encoding does work, the new file is created and working...- The same command works well in a terminal or as a bash script.- The script works well in Windows- If I provide a invalid path to the input file or the output file, it works as expected (the alert

"Cup-Ball" file link has been broken. How to delink it? because Replace Footage is grayed out. 

If I change the Left align text to Center text, it changes the apparent position of the text.Is there any way to change the Paragraph without changing the apparent position? 

Verified bug in 23.6.2, I haven't been using AE 24 yet because the brand new bugs in it and 23 still works for my projects.  But I updated to the new 23.6.2 and that one is not usable. AE 23.6.2 Can not read DNxHR files at all.  It can't read a single bit of data on them. All my drivers are up to dateWin11i9 12900k128GB RAMRTX3090 I reverted back to AE 23.6 and it works just fine.

Abro after effects y va todo bien pero cuando quiero abrir mocha ae simplemente se queda trabado el programa y se queda en blanco, tengo que cerrar Mocha AE y after effects funciona bien. Ya intente reinstalando After effects y no funciona 😞

When I add element 3D to solid layer and when I start it in preview it freezes the after effect and if I want to save, it crashes. I dont know what to do.

After Effects fails to play back RAM preview consistently. Once I have numpad-0'd the timeline in to a RAM Preview, After Effects more often than not fails to play back the timeline smoothly, and very oftenly doesn't play it back at all. This can be very time consuming when timelines can sometimes take 5-10 minutes or longer to cache in to the RAM. Hitting numpad-0 once the comp has been loaded in to it's cache sometimes doesn't even do anything, AE can just hang there. Steps:Hit Numpad-0 to RAM preview.Wait for shot to be rendered in to the RAM. When AE has loaded it in to the ram, it then fails to play back the comp at full speed (despite running a Threadripper 1950X processor, an RTX2080Ti and a RTX3060), or fails to play it at all.I then have to either flush the cache and re-try it and/or re-open AE in order for it to play. The shots I'm working on can be fairly complicated, working with either multilayered EXRs from V-Ray, sometimes mixed with live action, and/or so

I hope im not the only one.I'm trying to use the "Create Nulls from Paths", but, as you can see in the picture, the buttons are all blank. Do you have any ideas?

Hello,  I had a crash on After Effect While i launched roto brush.This crash started when i selected an element in the video : The PC froze, both of the screens became dark and i had to force manually the extinction. Just after reboot only one of the screen was enabled and it was impossible to launch AMD Software Adrenalin Edition.

Did you figure it out? I am having the same issue 

Hi allHave used the Create shapes from vector layer feature a thousand times before but I'm running into this problem today and can't work it out. I have been sent a piece of Ai artwork, which I have imported into AE as a composition. One of these layers contains 20-30 simple line paths, some 10pt red lines and some 2pt black. The Variable width profile is set to Uniform and the brush definition is set to Basic. Fine. All I want to do is convert it to a Shape layer so I can add a trim paths to them, but when I do this only the path stacked at the bottom of the layer converts to a stroked path, the rest all convert to fills (outline stroke). I've tried anything I can think of, such as setting all to the same stroke width, removing round cap/join, stacking in a different order (changing the order still makes the bottom path convert OK), pasting into a new document etc If I create a new document, draw a few paths out on a layer with the same stroke settings, and convert in AE it

Lumetri color works fine when you have 3 or more vertices - no problems here.But when you have just two vertices - weird thing starts to happen.If you have two vertices on the curve, and you drag them too close to eachother they suddenly snap together to the same horizontal position and after that there is no way to separate them. You can't even move them horizontaly just vertically.Again this immediately stops when you add a third vertex. It works similarly in Premiere except in Premiere it bugs out only when you try to move the left vertex near the right one. If you grab the right vertex and move it towards the left one, you can even drag it beyond the left one and nothing happens. You can drag it wherever you want. But if you grab the left vertex you can just drag it towards the right one and the moment they get close together they will snap together and at this point there is no way of unsnapping them. Can anyone confirm this?

Buenas, cuando quiero importar cualquier video en After Effects me salta esta alerta. Ya intenté todas las soluciones como cambiar la extensión del archivo o reinstalar absolutamente todo. Antes funcionaba bien pero de la nada ningún archivo que antes se importaba sin problemas puede agregarse al proyecto. Necesito alguna respuesta de qué podría llegar a ser.Gracias

Hello!I'm currently working on exporting a MOGRT (Motion Graphics Template) from After Effects for use in Premiere Pro and I'm facing some challenges. I've come here seeking help from skilled individuals.The system I want to implement is as follows:There is a Null layer with a Dropdown Menu Control (effect renamed to "Action")."Action Jump": A null layer that should play from its first frame when selected in the dropdown menu."Action Down": Another null layer that should also play from its first frame when selected in the dropdown menu.The goal is to have the selected layer (either "Action Jump" or "Action Down") start playing from its first frame when chosen from the dropdown menu on the Option null layer.Is this possible? If so, how should I construct the expressions?Thank you!
