After Effects

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. A new reboot was needed to resolve the problem but it is ramdom. You can see my system on attached file.All my sofwares are up to date and AMD Software is on 24.3.1 version => up to date. Can you help me please ?  

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!

just open the after effect and i got this message, how can i fix this issue?

DUIK LIMBER Those products are essential tools for rigging that everyone is familiar with... In DUIK, you can plant bones in the image you create,but, in LIMBER, it is impossible to plant a bone in the image I created, and do I have to use only the taper section originally given in the tool? I wonder if what I know is correct.

Probably the millionth time this has been posted as it is still an issue - AE does NOT save as defined in user preferences for auto-saving. I have mine set to every 20 minutes to save up to 5 versions, have been working a four hour span today, and the auto save folder has just two autosaves, both of which are older than two hours. If Adobe is still having issues with basic auto-save functions I'm going to assume this must be a bug with saving over-network on our servers, which most professionals have anyway. What's the deal? This isn't something unique to 2023 AE either, it's been around honestly for last 4 years if not longer. Is AE programmed to NOT auto save if user is busy working? How does Adobe explain this away?

FYI: I just installed version 24.3 of After Effects and it breaks MXF compatibility:It seems like the old problem in 23.1 is back. Can we please get it fixed?Thanks in advance!

I am trying to use CC Particle World emit particles from the bottom of the screen and have them shoot towards the top. I want them to move in a fully straight line towards the top. I've tried using the gravity function, but that seems to only make it so they begin moving in a straight line faster rather than emiting in a straight line. 

i know this has probably been mentioned a million times here, but one of the more aggravating things for me in AE is unlike PSD, when you undock and dock panels with ease, it just seems extremely difficult to do in AE.  See image below:the comp panel is undocked and i've looked everywhere to learn how to dock it again but have just not been able to figure it out.  i just basically want it to be docked again vs floating as seen above.can someone tell me how to do this?  thanks.

HiI have been using AE for quite a time but not a pro user. However, the problem I am facing might be a gltich or something as previously I was using alt + click to move keyframes proportionately & this worked quite well.Today, I suddenly saw that it's not working when I select multiple value keyframes even on the same layer. And I beleive its a glitch.Okay when I started recording a little video to show you guys my issue, the problem got flexible. Opacity layer on one of my layers creating issues. Sometimes it didn't allow other keyframes to move relatively & just caused them to move keeping the distance between them same & sometimes it allowed moving the keyframes relatively. Please watch the attached video to have a look at my issue & support.TIAAwais #Relative Expanding/Contracting Keyframes not working in AE

 As you can see in the video I can't do anything about the path in this composition. I have no idea what's causing this problem. I'll very much appreciate your help!

After Effects can't continue: The Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) suite couldn't be loaded. This is what appears in the dialog box. I've already reinstalled but still not working. Does anyone know what I can do about this.

Hi,when i try to open Adobe After Effect 2022i can see only the Welcome Screen of Adobe After Effect it is not opening.thanks umar 

Greetings to all! I added an expression to my project, thanks to which, when a certain value is selected on the control (slider), the symbol at the beginning of the amount changes, the amount itself as a counter. So, since I don't understand anything in the code, I can't figure out how to add an additional condition to this code, in which, along with the sign change, the amount in the counter will be multiplied by a single digit. For example, in the currency "$" the amount is 20,000, and in the currency "S/" 20,000 should be multiplied by 7, and so on with the rest of the characters. Is it really possible to do this? I will be infinitely grateful for the tips

After updating OS on Mac to Sierra After effects does not react on right-clicking inside second display. Finder and another programs is ok. Only After effects does not react. Updating and reinstall didn't help. Reboot and mouse settings too. What can I do with it?
