After Effects

I finished my project after rendering and now I find myself in a very complicated situation.   I have Original  EXR files as my source  for After Effects after I rendered in Unreal Engine as PIZ.  Through Unreal Engine, I made many sub-directories folders since it doesn't do the job  Multi-renderPasses and overall it's 600 GB sizes. I do not want to lose cryptomatte if I compress it and In After Effects you can pre-render so what is the way to replace my original footage with a smaller size and lossless quality?     

Hi, when i import my ProRes-RAW clips into premier pro, they are usually converted to REC709. i change it there to S-log3 all fine. but when i go to render AE compostion and go over to AE. the Color is REC709 in AE and seems like doubled somehow.  How i can receive the same color (s-log3) from premiere pro (via render in AE comp) in AE. is this possible? i played a little bit with color space but didnt find a solution. BR Stipe

i have a scene with camera tracking plus i use advanced render in AE2024 so i extrude my text from it. I never wanna use element 3D so after extrude text i created a light but adoobe has a stupid restriction that we can't use light and shadow in advance render with simple light so okh, I made then Env. light which is not good option for flexible shadows like hard shadow etc... so after that wow i succeeded to create extrude text along with a hard shadow very tough but i.... which is also not possible in AE with classic3d bcz classic 3d show shadow easily but won't enable extrude option which is frkn strange (AND i am doing all this on another layer below which is a shadow catcher layer created by tracking camera shadow catcher option a simple shadow catch techniques nothing fancy like E3D) so after i accomplished to get a result like extrude 3d text with my desired hard shadow behind this 3d text with the help of advance renderer option but the problem is when i hide that shadow catche

I imported a movie clip in after effects, and the reverb is way off and high. What happened ? Adjusting reverb did not work, the pitch changed multiple times when I played the preview further, loud distortion ensued in a certain part of the clip. What happened ?

I was using puppet pin tool. My character already has a few pins and some of them are animated. Now when I click on one I've got an error message: After Effects error: Crash in progress.

Yesterday I tried to open my After Effects file as usual.First the file didn't wanted to open because it threw me: bad format or not readable error.Auto-save copies didn't work for anything, keeps throwing me same error.Somehow I was able to get the file open, but then I tried to reload all missing footage, "you don't have permission to open this file" pops out.I went thru all folders, even what they suggest here: https://helpx.adobe.com/mx/x-productkb/multi/preferences-folder-read-only-error.html ...but message keeps popping out... I don't know if the file is already corrupt. Please let me know if there's something else I could try...

My color picker just changed seemingly all by itself while working in After Effects. I reinstalled the software but it's still the same. I'm working in 8 bit color and my "working color space" is set to "none". Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

Hello, this is something that happenes to me every once in a while and I have no idea why. As shown below, my speed graph just becomes really high for some reason and it's gets a bit annoying to edit this way since I can't see the whole graph properly. I'm not doing anything different with my keyframes so I have no idea what's causing this. I'd love to know if there's a way to fix it, or at least understand what's causing this. Thank you.

Problem: Ich arbeite sowohl auf PC als auch auf Mac in After Effects und Premiere weil meine Firma beide Plattformen nutzt. Leider wenn ich am Mac in After Effects ein neues MOGRT erstelle und es am PC öffne sind immer alle Expression mit einer Dropdown-Menüsteuerung beschädigt und funktionieren nicht mehr weil beim Öffnen am PC aus dem Wort „Menü“ das Wort Menÿ“ wird.Umgekehrt entstehen leider die selben Fehler und Zeichen werden anders übernommen und dadurch gehen Verlinkungen verloren.Deswegen muss ich immer 2 Versionen programmieren, eine für PC und eine für Mac. Das ist sehr umständlich und mühsam.Den Bug gibt es schon seit mehreren Version und ich habe immer gehofft in einer neuen Version wird er nicht mehr da sein, aber er ist immer noch da. Auch in Version 24. Momentan arbeite ich noch inAdobe After Effects 23.6.2. (MAC)Ventura 13.6.4.Zum ReproduzierenEinfach eine Dropdown Menü (in der deutschen Version) als Expression in einem Layer anlegen und versuchen diese a

Hi,The issue I am having is not a problem with expressions, but I wanted to see if one could help solve it.I use the VCP plugin, Saber, on a mogrt that I share with video editors. Saber allows me to have a tapered draw-on text effect, based on a selected text layer, without having to bake anything down (Ie convert text to shape layers). This is perfect for the mogrt workflow, as I can create a dynamic animation that draws-on, and the editor can change the text and it updates.Recently on a project, there was an issue where the MOGRT using Saber appeared to make everything off-centre in Premiere (Although in rendered from AME correctly). I shared a post about this too. This caused some frustration and concern about the MOGRT workflow, and I wanted to get to the bottom of why Saber was doing that. But also wanted to see if there was an alternative way to achieve the draw-on effect, but still give the artist the same control over the text in the template. If you have any ideas, I

Hallo Zusammen,ab sofort möchte ich viele neue Videos erstellen, wo ich am Klavier zu sehen bin. D. h. ich spiele Klavier,meine Hände bewegen sich ständig, manches Mal überkreuzen sie sich auch. Ich habe hierzu als Hintergrund einen Greenscreen verwendet, da ich als Hintergrund zukünftig Fotografien einbauen möchte.Außerdem sind meine ersten zwei Videos etwas zu klein geworden, bzw. der Ausschnitt, wo der Hintergrund - später das Foto - zu sehen ist, ist zu klein.Siehe Anhang.Nun meine Frage:A) kann ich mich ( man sieht nur ein Stück von meinem Oberkörper und meine Hände ) und das Klavier freistellen und ohne Probleme einen neuen Hintergrund einbauen?B) ist es möglich, mein Video nach oben und zu linken Seite etwas zu verlängern, so dass der Hintergrund besser zu sehen ist?Ich würde mich sehr über Tipps und Hilfe freuen.Vielen Dank im Voraus.Gruß Angela

Appreciate in advance. here posted both screenshot with black and  blue glow colour effect. Please guide me.

Bonjour, Un prestataire me demande un livrable à -90° mais je ne sais pas du tout comment réaliser cette opération sans changer le sens complet de mon contenu.  En image, la demande du prestataire  :Je vous remercie de vos réponses et de votre aide !

I need to create a text based presentation, my issue is the template I'm using wont allow me to change the color of single letters, only the entire word. I was able to click into the text and it was easy to change individual letters but when I got back to the comp the text color change had not applied. So im guessing I can only change the text in the comp, but this template only gives me the option to change the color for the whole word. I cant add in another fill that allows me to make only the first letter blue. Why is this so hard to do? this seems like it would be simple to change.As you can see here I want only the first letter to be blue:When I go back to the comp its now back to white

Hey Guys, I have the source text of a layer referencing the comp name. I'd to edit the comp name and it update on the text layer. This is my code. compName = comp("Liam Carlin").name.replace(/a/gi,"a"); However I am not trying to replace the letter a with the same letter a I wasnt to replace it with a different glyph version of that font family. Is it possible? I am unable to paste the correct glyph letter into the expression editor as it just see it as the letter 'a'. ThanksLiam 

While editing my comp, my transform handles just randomly disappeared! I've tried the following:- The column for switches are on, as noted here- I've tried ctrl +shift + h as noted here, no effect I'm using After Effects 24 on a Mac. What else could it be?

I can't import my PSD file because of this error. I downloaded QuickTime, but it didn't work. What is a good alternative to solving this? 

Hi, reinstalled my iMac and Cloud app doesn't offer older versions anymore of After Effects, Media Encoder, Premiere. I have 27" iMac 2013 and macOS Catalina that still works like a charm. Except this annyoing Adobe service, that older versions of apps are not accesible. Please provide me direct download links to After Effects, Media Encoder, Premiere 2022.This is URGENT!

Hi Everyone !when you drag a new video clip to your timeline, how can you automatically trim the timelineto the exact *end* of that clip ?   I'm not talking about sliding the end point to the end of clip manually and clicking "n" on your keyboard.  I wonder if there is an automatic / more accurate way of doing this.Thanks for your help !

So, First of all this is very dissapointing from a subscribers point of view, I pay monthly and for what, to have a sudden clitch which is just halting my work. I've been workin 2 weeks on this project and it all worked fine, just one moment suddenly, this very composition went black and doesnt preview anything. I did try other things, such as clearing the cache and copying all files to other comps, none works. It is not black on other compositions with similiar complexicity. I am using AE 2024, just a comp with 3D layers and one Camera. it was working fine and suddenly turned black. maybe anyone has a solution? PS this is dissapointing... I did not pay to write esseys on forums, I payed so my software runs normally.

Imac 5K 2019 Mac OS Ventura 13.5Trying to import a Quicktime .MOV in Apple ProRes4444 with alpha generated out of Rotato and receiving following error messages in AE:"Encountered errors while importing selected items.1) After Effects error: Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions2) After Effects error: file '___.mov' cannot be imported - this 'Moov' file is damaged or unsupported." I have tried clearing cache. I checked the permissions. The file is not damaged (opens in Quicktime and VLC). And this type of file in same codec exported from the same Rotato software was importing with no errors within this same project a week ago. Also other Apple ProRes 4444 .movs (but with no transparency layer) exported from Rotato are still importing fine into AE.
