After Effects

I use cc particle world and a custom image to generate particles. The particles fades in during birth. I want them to appear solid right away. How?chat bots tell me there is an opacity map with a graph I can draw on. But I cannot find this map.The red line is where that map is supposed to be. It is not there.So how do I disable the particles fade in?

Hello Adobe After Effects Team,I would like to report a reproducible issue that appears in newer versions of After Effects when using the GeoLayers 3 plugin.SummaryProjects that contain GeoLayers 3 compositions work normally in After Effects 24, but when the exact same project is opened in After Effects 25 or 26, After Effects displays PNGIO errors and the map fails to load.Error messages After Effects: AEGP Plugin PNGIO Support: PNGIO library error: bad adaptive filter value (5027::12) After Effects: AEGP Plugin PNGIO Support: PNGIO library error: IDAT: CRC error (5027::12) These errors appear when the GeoLayers map tiles are loaded.Key observation The same project file works perfectly in AE 24. Opening the project in AE 25 or AE 26 immediately triggers the PNGIO error. The issue only occurs with GeoLayers 3 content. Some other users appear able to run GeoLayers in AE 25/26 without this issue. This suggests the problem may be related to changes in the PNG decoding / ImageIO pi

Von jetzt auf gleich hat After Effects angefangen beim Warp Strabilisator nicht mehr zu analysieren.Darüber hinaus funktioniert der Dynamic Link Server scheinbar nicht mehr. Ich verknüpfe oft Adobe Premire Projekte mit After Effects Projekten.Jetzt geht gar nichts mehr.Adobe Premire spuckt nur noch einen Blackscreen aus. Davor kommt ab und zu noch Media Offline und Media pending obwohl die Pfade korrekt verknüpft sind. Teilweise werden zufällig Dateien offline angezeigt. Neuinstalkation/ Neustart/ Chache lösche/ CPU rendering Optionveränderungen haben keinen Unterschied gemacht. Manuelles Dynamic Link Server in Premire hinzufügen lässt das ganze System aufhängen. 

Hi Adobe, after updated to After Effect V.26, one of my keyboard shortcut has been broken by the latest Parametric Mesh feature.I’ve customized my “Add to Render Queue” button to "Shift + D” to my workflow, but the latest Parametric Mesh uses this shortcut. I tried to remap the Parametric Mesh to “Shift + option + D” but it keeps overiding and remapping it back to “Shift + D”. I have no choice but to remap my own shortcut for the time being, much to the detriment of my own productivity.This is extremely annoying and I would appreciate a fix as soon as possible, thank you for your attention to this matter!

The issue is that aerender commands or after effects 25.6 or 26.0 is not opening with popup of dxcore.dll not found, I have already installed latestbeta version after effects but that didnt help

If i press spacebar and let it play, it gets blurry. Using mouse for fast preview or scrubbing on timeline, everything is fine. i’m on 100% magnification percentage. Resolution on Full. Cleared my cache. Updated to the latest After Effects 2026. But still nothing is working. Was working perfectly fine but suddenly this happened. On the picture, you’ll see its pixelated while it’s playing compared to the one that’s still (maybe need a bit of a zoom-in but trust me its very noticeable. Had this on other projects as well… Its a bit annoying. 

What features would you like to see implemented in After Effects? New ideas for plugins? Interface changes? Post 'em here! Let's keep bug identification to individual posts, as these will probably be addressed more readily. Let's use this thread for specific ideas about ways that AE can be improved and expanded. These Forums are for users, not Adobe employees, so don't forget to also fill in an Adobe feature request form. To view the Wish List posts prior to September 2009, look here.

Hi,I have a CEP plugin that works great in PPRO but is having a problem in AE. I have a simple function in a jsx file to return an object. I’ve tried returning the object or even a string with JSON.stringify() but the stringify seems to fail and return nothing and the object is just a string “object object”. The same code works in PPRO. I’ve tried this on a Mac (Tahoe) and Windows 11 but they both have the same problem.All I need to do is list out all the items in the project.Has anyone else seen this problem before? I’ve tried AE 2024/25/26. Any help would be amazing as it’s very odd!

我無法在AE中使用C4D(2024 build 5) 

Rendering in Adobe After Effects CC 2017 on my gaming laptop is too slow! I have performed a test with two laptops and a desktop PC.Let's name my gaming laptop as PC1. This computer is where the slow rendering happens. It took 4 hours to render my video. Here are the specifications of my laptop:CPU: Intel Core i5-7300HQ OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)RAM: 4GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB GDDR5)The next laptop will be named as PC2. This took only 40 minutes on rendering the same video. The specifications are:CPU: Intel Core i7-5500UOS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)RAM: 8GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce 820M (4GB)The desktop PC will be named as PC3 and it took almost 50 minutes to render the same video. The specifications are:CPU: Intel Core i3-3210OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)RAM: 8GBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (4GB)How can I achieve fast rendering on PC1? Two of the major reasons in buying this laptop are video and photo editing. Can AE use my GPU on rendering? Please help me how to adjust or upgrade som

There's a simple question that seems impossible to answer (at least for me).Is there a way to know all the formats supported for importing 3D cameras into After Effects?I think that C4D, .ma files, or .jsx (via a Blender add-on) are the only ways, but I'm not completely sure. Are there any other methods?Is there a place where I can find documentation on how to import cameras using these three methods?FBX, GLB, and OBJ are supported by After Effects, but only for geometry, right?Thanks in advance! I hope someone can help me with their knowledge.Thanks!!

Hi, I have a problem with bodymovin exporting. I made a simple animation and I want to export it for my website. But when everything is ready and I press render button it wont render. It just keep loading and nothing is happening for a hours. Any solution please ? 

When I hover over a clip in Premiere, a gray box appears with the clip’s properties. If I toggle to After Effects with a keyboard shortcut without moving the mouse, the gray box remains. It doesn’t matter if I move the mouse now that I’m in AE, the box stays and shows the properties from the clip I hovered on in Premiere.  I’m in Premiere 26.0.2 and After Effects 26.0, but this has been an issue for a few versions.

I want to select all paths on an SVG layer. If I enter this parameter path in the search, groups and other unnecessary positions are displayed. How to display only the parameter that I need? This is necessary in order to select all paths and move them to another group or to another layer. I just don't want to select each one manually, because there are a lot of them in SVG, so I would like to find a solution and quickly select them all to move them to one group or to another layer. I know there are scripts for this, but I don't like to use third-party scripts because they accumulate, and there will be a lot of them on the screen, and it will be distracting. I think there should be a solution with standard AE functions. Thanks!AE 26.

I’ve noticed that during rendering a complete software crash occurs of After Effects 2026 during rendering with the latest nvidia graphics rtx driver for 4070 super -579.79 for both studio and graphics driver which are the same version, updated march 10 2026 - . After restarting the software, thanks to your programmers, the problem points to boris fx’s Sapphire Effect’s WarpBubble2 plugin. I have downgraded my nvidia driver to 595.71 and have been able to render normally without any crashes or malfunctions.I wanted to report this, as other parts of the software or GPu related plug-ins might fall into this issue. Regards. 

Hi all,when trying to change the scale of a selected layer using the property panel, I also change another layer scale. It looks like the property panel has two layers selected even if I select one layer only. It also doesn't matter which layer I have selected because it keeps working on the same 2 layers. Hopefully you can see it in this ugly screeen recording. Sorry I'm in a rush.

I’m working in linear ACEScg and I’m having an issue with AE motion blur clipping the highlights of footage when it’s active and the layer is set to ADD. The elements are interpreted correctly and works just fine until motion blur is enabled. I have the element on black in the examples below. You can see the scopes on the left where the motion blur is off has very bright highlights, and when the Motion blur is on those same highlights get clipped. Luckily, Lighten does work in these shots, but Add should not be clipping source. the only change is that Motion blur is enabled. This should not be happening.
