After Effects

Hi Forum. I'm adding an ellipse shape, and adding some points to the shape. But when I delete the points on the shape, rather than the shape splitting like it would in Illustrator its resulting in making a line across the shape still connecting the ellipse. I'm trying to achieve result A but I am getting result B as shown in this example. Thank you.  

Hi,I'm filming an object on a green background from several directions at the same time using identical cameras, so I get pretty identical videos. In After Effects I remove the green background (keylight1.2)My problem is that the software doesn't do it simultaneously, it only works on one video at a time.I enabled multi-frame rendering, also search for a solution in the web but didn't find one CPU amd 7950x, 128 GB ram Thanks in advance  

Can you please support color management when enebleing Mercury Transmit.I will not get the second display to convert to the Display color space.

Trying to Launch AE after install to Tahoe. All of my other applications work. Upon launch I get a message about possible corrupted plug-ins and if I want to start in Safe Mode. I cannot even select safe mode as it just spins so I force stop the application. I uninstalled and re-installed, same problem.   

hey, i just got the 7 day test for AE, but its always crashing when im trying to open the app. im on windows 10, rtx1060. other specs i dont rlly know but they should be good enough to run AE.  On windows safe mode, it said: after effects error. crash during processing, last logged message: <19192> <DS> <0> GPUSniffer() encountered total GPU failure.also before it said some plugin was the problem but i believe i fixed it by deleting it. In february this year i tried (or wanted to) try premiere pro, back then i remember it having similar problems and crashing when trying to open. I really need help quick, thanks. 

I feel the noise() expression function is poorly documented: noise(valOrArray)    Return type: Number.Argument type: valOrArray is a Number or an Array [2 or 3].Returns a number in the range from -1 to 1. The noise is not actually random; it is based on Perlin noise, which means that the return values for two input values that are near one another tend to be near one another. This type of noise is useful when you want a sequence of seemingly random numbers that don’t vary wildly from one to the other—as is usually the case when animating any apparently random natural motion. Example: rotation + 360*noise(time) What exactly does "for two input values that are near one another" mean?     Is it "noise(val)" with val changing in two subsequent calls?     Or is it "noise(val1, val2)"?The function declaration indicates that two or three arguments can be specified,     but only an example of a function call with a single ar

Hello, Posting this for future reference/in the hope that it can be resolved before other people lose time. Not sure if this is the place for it, sorry if it isn't!I found myself unable to save my working file. This has happened to me for the third time in a week:As I Cmd+S save the file, the little pop-up box that indicates the saving progress —the one with the little blue bar— pops up, but doesn’t fill up completely. It got stuck on a certain percentage (last time 41%, this time 71%), but rather than giving an error message or anything similar, it just seems to abort the saving process and closes the box. It looked as if I had saved it, but I actually hadn't. This is the same when– using any of the other saving options.– trying to package the file. I could ‘export’/hack a copy of the file by rendering it via Media Encoder. I tried to remove all unused footage. Then all linked images/video/audio. This seems to bump the percentage of saving up from 71% to 75% s

Hi, I am struggeling with something , Please seinors help me.  So I know I have to apply easy ease, or easy ease in, out, to the keyframes- to make keyframe's motion smooth. linear makes it look robotic.  right? so what if I have 12/20/40  keyframes of position and rotation of a character doing something with its hand. do I need to make them all easy ease?? or  suppose  I have a perticular part where I need to make the motion swift or slow, only then I would  select ''all those assosiated keyframes'' and apply easy ease to those ONLY  and I would leave the rest of the keyframes as it is (linear)?   I am losing my peace over it. Please guide me.  In the attached example do I need to make all the keyframes F9 (easy ease) ? Or only the part where I feel like here motion should be fast and make those keyframes easy ease and go to the graph editor and tweak them.. Thank you.

After Effects 2023 Download I need After Effect 2023, but it's not available on Creative Cloud. What should I do?

Hello,I am experiencing severe performance issues with Adobe After Effects. The application is lagging significantly during use and while rendering, even when I am working in quarter resolution and using it minimally ( minimal animation with 3d camera ). Additionally, the software frequently crashes and takes around 2–5 minutes just to save a project or export a video file, and it is also crashing frequently.This is not due to my system configuration, as I am using a newly assembled high-spec PC with the following specifications:NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB)32 GB RAMAMD Ryzen 5 9600X (6-core processor)MSI Pro B650 S WiFi motherboardI have already visited the PC service center 2–3 times, and they confirmed that there are no hardware-related issues.The main issue appears to be that After Effects is not utilizing the NVIDIA GPU at all, and instead it is consuming nearly 98% of the CPU and MEMORY. Because of this issue, I am experiencing problems in other software as well, and my PC overall i

So far I know of 2 different ways to export to a PSD, but each has it's own problem:'Save Frame As / File' — flattens all layers'Save Frame As / Photoshop Layers' — saves low-resolution, also some with some glitches (at least with the 3D objects I'm using) Is there a way around this? I don't get why the first option flattens everything and exports it at a lower resolution?

Hi all,I usually receive graded files for footage done in Resolve and then import them to After Effects (or Premiere) but the person using Resolve has to do that with every clip we use. They did the first clip in the series so now for colour consistency I need to have the same settings as them so the following clips don't seem off. I was wondering if they can somehow export a lut? xml? of the values Resolve used on the log/raw footage and import them in Lumetri in After Effects (or Premiere) and apply them directly in log/raw footage having the same visual output. If a plugin for this workflow transfer exists it's also welcome.

I've been using After Effects as my main work tool for over a decade now. And if there's one thing I’ve learned, it’s that hardware matters a lot—not talking about rendering/previewing a heavy 8K comp, but for simply navigating and previewing basic comps with a low layer count. Over the years, many of us have developed our own tricks to get AE to preview at a somewhat decent framerate—personally, I aim for around 80% of 24fps (without prerendering), which often feels like a win.That said, I recently upgraded to what I’d consider a very capable workstation, hoping this would make my life a little easier. For context: 16-core processor128 GB RAMRTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM)8TB high-speed SSD storageLiquid coolingClean install of both Windows 10 and 11 (tested both)Also used for heavy 3D work (Blender + Unreal) with no issues This setup handles complex 3D scenes like a breeze—but After Effects? Still an L.I’m constantly dealing with crashes, glitches, and the dreaded endless blue l

Current Behaviour:Clicking a Tab in the Timeline Window Sticks to the mouse as if Dragging is occurring Expected Behaviour:Release tab after click (unless actually dragging) This bug used to happen, at least ten years ago on lower performing hardware, which I do not have.I have 4TB of PCIE5 cache available and 256GB of 5600DDR5 RAM and 16GB of VRAM availableThe system did not exhibit this behaviour until:- latest 25.5 update- Added C4D files to comps (Advanced 3d renderer) Suspect it is 3D related as I have comps with C4d files in.(on a side not, position should be automatically locked on cineware files, but I can stick that in another post!) Asus wrx90 / TRPro7965 / Inno3d 5080 - latest Studio Drivers(58.157)/256 5600 supported RAM (XMP boosted)/ T705 1TB OS / T700 4TB cache / T700 4TB Storage  You should be able to check previous records for how this error was fixed in the past.Could also be high display settings as I am at 125% on 27" UHD screen

Hi! The alpha and luma options do not show up in the track matte drop down in After Effects. Track matte is where it use to be in After Effects, but the options for alpha and luma are gone. What can I do to get them back?  This is what the track matte dropdown looks like now:

For most effects with a "phase angle", all I have to do to seamlessly loop them over a given time interval is just place a keyframe with at phase angle 0 at the beginning and then a keyframe at the end that's just any whole integer of the phase angle (for example, I can do this with Motion Tile to repeatedly shift an image across the screen).  However, when I attempt to do the same thing with the Wave Warp effect, it doesn't line up at all!  (This is after setting it to a wave speed of 0.)  I noticed that I instead had to set the phase angle to o 256 degrees to get it to line up properly (or any whole number multiple of 256 for more loops).  I'm not quite sure why this is.  I'm not sure if this is consistent across layers or not, as I've got the feeling it might be dependent on the actual width or height of the layer.So how can I make wave warp loop seamlessly?

I have just started my After Effects CC 7 day trial , but it wont open.I have been looking around for a solution but none of them worked.I have tried :    -Disabling Windows Defender    -Running It As Administrator    -Reinstalling After Effect    -Reinstalling Creative Cloudbut it still didnt work.Here is a picture , when i launch it , it wont open , but it always shows up in Task Manager , it always uses 28mb of ram for some reason and nothing else.There is not error popup or anything in the Event Viewer that is related to After Effect.If needed , here are my PC Specs :CPU : Athlon x4 880kRAM : 8Gb 1600mhzGPU : R7 240 , OC to 980mhz Core , 1040mhz MemoryStorage : 1Tb HDD (Main) , 1.5Tb HDD (Primary For Storage)Thank you.

Hello @Mathias Moehl  I am hoping to automate changing text color with Automation Blocks in After Effects.I see the 'convert color' block, but I'm not clear if that's the right tool. Is it possible to change the fill color of text with Automation Blocks? Further, would it be possible to change only parts of the text within a single text field?  Like..If, in text field my text, find first occurance of 'change to blue' ≠ 0Change text fill color of my text to #0000FF

Hello!I'm HenryThe thing is, this morning when I opened the file, there was a warning that rotobrush had some error that I don't know about, and when I opened the same file, it was normal. I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Hello.I have many layer with the same expression on their position property.This expression repeats the same tasks(repeated code) for all the layers, which make the performance very slow.My question is can I make a sudo effect (property) calculates the repeated code, and then just get a cached value for this property to the position properties and improve the performance?I don't know if using propery.value uses some caching system or not.I am using some heavy algorithems, so this will help me so much achieving what I need.So I hope you help me acheive this😊🙏.Thank you!

Scratching my head over how to correctly work with D-Log footage from a Ronin in After Effects with ACES color management? Downloaded lots ot LUTs from DJI but not getting the correct results. If anyone has any experience I could really use some help! ThanksNeil

Video link I want to add time remapping to my clips, but when I do, the keyframes are applied to the entire clip. I only want the keyframes to affect the in and out points of the clip

Is CC Repetile broken or is this user error? 1. Create a Text Layer (or any Shape Layer or use any graphic)2. Add CC Repetile to It3. Expand to the Left or Right4. Keyframe the layer's position on the x axis at a slow speed. Watch the duplicates (created by CC Repetile) jitter, both in preview and in render  Sometimes the bouncing (or glitchy or twitchy or jumpy) errors result in a small movement, but (especially if it's thin enough) it will jitter more and more as it duplicates from the original source.  Is this a bug or a feature? For text repetitions, workarounds include using expressions like repeat(), but it is not a great solution as I'm having trouble with spacing. AE Version: 24.6.2MacOS SequioaAttached Gif and AE File
