After Effects

Adding shape line width to Essential Graphics adds up to tens of thousands of numbers.I would like to keep the maximum value to 150. value = effect("SliderControl")("Slider");clamp(value, 0, 150); For example, if you do this, it will display fine in After Effects, but when you import it into Adobe Premiere, the entire screen will become white. (The color of the line is white) How can I make the numbers smaller so it also works in Premiere?

Hello all,I'm trying to get an expression counter with commas and two decimal points. I have the comma taken care of, but I can't seem to get the two decimal points to work.Here's my current expression. As you'll see, nothing in there about decimal points. Nothing I've tried has worked for me. Thoughts?var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")num = Comma(num); [num]function Comma(number){number = '' + Math.round(number);if (number.length > 3){var mod = number.length % 3;var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++){if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);elseoutput+= ',' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);}return (output);}else return number;}

After a recent update (I don't remember the original version, but I downloaded After effects from scratch a month or two ago), my After effects keep building up my memory until it hits its maximum allocated memory and after a few seconds it crashes. When editing, this memory build up is slow and can be managed by clearing the cache, saving often or whatnot, but when trying to render it only takes about one minute for After effects to crash completely. I have tried other past versions, cleaning my computer completely and reinstalling both new and old versions (in multiple installations) but it keeps happening.My computer is very new and I have rendered one video since. After trying to make a second and shorter video, this bug started to appear in every scenario imaginable surrounding this particular video. The only new thing that I implemented in this new video is CC Flo Motion (throughout the video). Rendering is slower because of it, and I understand that this is normal, but crashing

Hi, I'm getting freezes that last 1-5 minutes every 5 minutes. Needless to say it's incredibly frustrating I've been using 23.6, now downgraded to 23.5. Same problem persists. It happens not just on RAM previews. Currently it's frozen on preferences. I've a very basic comp, EXR sequences (in DWAB compression). I've disabled all my plugins. I've turned off GPU Acceleration in Project Settings and Hardware Accelerate Composition in Display Prefs. And cleared my caches lots.  My machineWindows 10 ProMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core Processor 3.69 GHz256GB RAMRTX 4090, driver 537.13Any help would be appreciated because AE is pretty unusable. Thanks, Simon   

 Hello, for some reason I don't have Timeline in my Aftereffect interfaceWhat do i do?Note: I don't mean to lengthen the video time, I want to show a specific area on the worktopLike this.. please help me

Hi, im trying to export a json file, and its exporting but when im putting it in a preview on here: https://lottiefiles.com/lottie-editor the illustration I've done isnt showing. I've attached pictures.   

I have been having this problem where the video seems fine and then out of nowhere starts glitching/flickering and jumping to random frames without me doing anything. here is how it looks like :-I am working with a link between premiere and after effects, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw a post similar to this one, but it was from 2018, and I just wanna check if anyone has any quick fixes to the problem. The problem is fairly simple;I have a super simple animation of a man moving his fingers. I've used puppet warp to do this. I want to zoom in on the animation to highlight the details of the illustration, but the puppetwarp doesn't follow the zoom, so it leads to the fingers not moving. The problem only occurs when I have continiuos rasterization turned on, so the only reasonable solution as of now is to animate it in a much bigger format, so that I don't have to have CR on, but there has to be a better way? I've tried to parent the animation to a null and zoom that way, and I've tried to precomp and scale the precomp. Nothing works.  In the post I saw from 2018 there was this super long workflow to fix the problem, and I need to know if there is a better way.

im trying to import a psd file to my after effects comp but everytime it contains layers from different psds instead of its own

ok, the titel says it all.

We deliver our 3d rendered frames as linear EXR for compositing. Additionally, we convert EXRs to 8bit TIFFs applying OETF (sRGB Gamma). I have noticed that AfterEffect incorrectly composites 8bit files if there's significant motion blur on objects - there's a bright halo. EXRs are handled OK.For comparision, Nuke behaves OK for both EXRs and 8bit TIFFs. We use oiiotool for conversion:  oiiotool ./in.exr --tocolorspace "sRGB" -d uint8 -o ./out.tif  I attach example EXR and TIFF file: http://cgarea.com/after_fx_8bit_example.zip  Can anyone advise ? AfterFX vs Nuke:

i need a older version of after effects 2021, is it possible do  downlaod it?

Hi everyone, I wanted to report a problem that sometimes occurs, in a project (the one in the attached image is at 25 fps)there are display anomalies between the reading head and the timeline keyframe, in practice the reading head does not coincide with the frame or keyframe (look at the attached image), it's a bug or is there a method to fix this problem?Thank you for reply.

Hi there,I have a 30fps video clip in Comp A, which is also 30fps. Comp A is in Comp B, which is 60fps. As long as both the video clip in Comp A, and Comp A (in the timeline of Comp B), have Frame Blending set to Pixel Motion, then the "in-between" frames are interpolated, and the video becomes 60fps.However, if I apply Rolling Shutter Repair to the original clip (in the timeline of Comp A), suddenly, no matter what I do, some frames are duplicated (i.e. not interpolated) when I scrub through it in Comp B. The odd thing is, some of the frames still appear to be interpolated (warp artifacts are visible), as if Pixel Motion frame blending is still enabled, but it just won't give me the "in-between" frames - some frames repeat.I can't apply Rolling Shutter Repair later, because it only works properly when applied to a clip at its original frame rate.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Jonah

This has happened multiple times now consistently ONLY when I use AE and ME 23.6 to export a file. After exporting, it will randomly disable my computer sound and there's nothing I can do other than restart computer.   It just did it again now, so have to restart right after I post this. All drivers and apps are up to date and have been clean installed.

When I run AE CS6 in Windows 11 on a laptop with an Intel UHD Graphics 600, everything works fine. But when I run it with an Intel UHD Graphics 770 (desktop PC), I get the message "GPUManager - Sniffer Result Code: 1" on start-up and cannot run AE. The graphics driver, Windows 11 and AE CS6 are up-to-date (latest patches). I know that CS6 is really old, but obviously it does not make problems in Windows 11 in general. Only on one specific PC. I don't know whether other PC components could be the problem, but "GPUManager" tells me it's the GPU. 😉 Premiere works fine on both machines, by the way. What can I do (except using AE CC)? The Adobe website only says I should install the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.

I'm trying to draw a rectangle and it kept showing me the outlines instead of the shape, I just got after effects I don't know why it's not showing the shape there was a black background but once I drew a shape it disappeared. 

Hello, I was hoping somebody could help. I keep getting this error message when trying to open After Effecs: "After Effects can't continue: The Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) suite couldn't be loaded. You may need to reinstall"  I have uninstalled and reinstalled countless of times and nothing seems to be helping. Wondering if anybody has been able to solve this issue? Thanks.

I'm using a MacBook with Catalina 10.15 and the latest After Effects. After rendering files, QuickTime can't open the file and notifies me that the file/media is not compatible with QuickTime Player. What do I need to do, to be able to open the files with QuickTime?

Hi there,I have a question:Is it possible to use custom brushes in After Effects? I have an illustration in Illustrator, in which I’m using charcoal brushes, but when I import it into AE, it’s not an editable path anymore In the brushes panel in AE I can see that there are only built-in brushes, is it possible to import custom brushes from Illustrator? If not, do you know how I could add this effect to a stroke in AE, to make it more rough, uneven, more like a charcoal, chalk brush? I could use normal brushes and then maybe add this distortion effect to it? Is it possible?Thanks for all your help

 I need help,i want it to be instead of jumps, to look like the blue thing.How am I supposed to do that?

Hello, I was wodnering something. I am playing around in after effects,  and happy with the result, suddenly I notice my element/design is not centreed peoperly though the keyframes (position, layer animation etc) are set perfectly. How can I centre the entire thing if accidently I forget to, once the keyframes are set. any way? Thank you.

Hi, I need to make graphics with Kannada text in them. Specifically, the Google Noto Font for Kannada. But the font is not getting displayed properly. This is how it appears when I paste it into the text field. This is how it should appear. Strangely, the word is displayed correctly in the timeline- I am having the same issue with the Kannada fonts which come pre-installed on the Mac, too. Does anyone have a solution? All my AE work is in Kannada for this project so this is a major issue

Sorry for the noob question.I have multiple comps, each with a text layer.I want to ensure that the text begins at the same X position in all comps.If this was Photoshop, or InDesign, I would set the anchor point for the text box to one of the left nodes for all instances and paste in the desired X position for each text box.In After Effects, I want to do something similar, but I haven't found a way to do this. I move the anchor point with the Pan Behind tool, but there doesn't seem a way to easily snap the anchor point to one of the left nodes of the text box. Let's say I want the anchor point to be exactly at the top left corner of the text box – is there a quick and easy way to do that?

Hey everyone, I am combining several color spaces (sRGB + AcesCG) together in an OCIO color managed project. The sRGB colors must be maintained since those are brand colors and the client is very meticulous.When I use the OCIO transform (Generic sRGB -> AcesCG) the colors are slightly different from when I use sRGB as working color space. The reds are a little too saturated, the blues a little too less. What is the right way here to both use AcesCG properly and maintain the original brand colors? Manually trying to fix the colors? Render Aces-Footage in sRGB and comp together afterwards? Both of those options are not very practical imho.Thanks!
