If so, how can i downgrade to older versions and still run my project? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I am trying to fix something in After Effects and what I have heard from a lot of people is to go to AppData > Roaming > Adobe > After Effects and I should clear / delete that file. Does doing so affect the custom user presets that I have made, and does it affect the plugins too? Will something bad happen? Thank you.

I would like to buy a new MacBook to edit YouTube videos with Premiere. Additionally, I would need to do some things in Adobe After Effects. Would the new MacBook Pro with the Apple M3 chip, 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 24 GB of RAM be sufficient for this?

anyone ever ran into an issue with adobe after effects 2024 not rendering a new photo/file when the video is fully editable and you have the latest and greatest computer/software etc etc.  I am the only one having an issue as when I send it the video and files to other people they show me its working.  I show them its not working for me.  i walked through the entire process 5-7 times now and nothing.  There has to be something I am missing in a settings or version I have that isn't allowing me to do this.  I am using version 24.3.0 of adobe after effects from the adobe suites through creative cloud. it is downloaded to my mac.  It is a .png file at 300dpi, it is scaled to size....   I have tried to do this to 3 different files with no luck, but the other people have.

Hello everyone.I have a project that requires me to create a 3D stroke. I tried to draw a line using the pen tool and then enabled the 3D layer. When I rotate the layer, it's just a flat image. When I try to adjust the point, it's just another flat image. Can anyone suggest how to a real 3D line/stroke in After Effect?Example like this picture:(Forgive me if any of you don't like weeb content)

I have been having trouble with the quality of my videos, so I followed this tutorial. After rendering, I try to open the file and am greeted with this error.  What's a way I can fix this error? If I render from Adobe Media Encoder it looks very low quality. Note that I do need to send these videos to clients for them to be able to post on social media.  

Hi everyone. I'm hitting a bit of a wall when trying to add a simple Checkbox contgrol to a comp the same way I would to a regular Null. var myComp = app.project.activeItem; var myNull = myComp.layers.addNull(); myNull.name = "Controller"; var nullOnOffControl = myNull.effect.addProperty("ADBE Checkbox Control"); var compOnOffControl = myComp.effect.addProperty("ADBE Checkbox Control"); Thanks!

Does anyone know how to save animation presets with markers?For instance, whenever we download preset packs and templates from the internet, we see we can control animations with layer markers.But whenever I save an animation preset, it only saves (keyframes, effects, and expressions), not markers.

I would like to add basic opacity text animator to text layer through scripting and change its attributes. I am looking for access mainly for:StartEndOffsetUnitsBased onModeOpacity What I got so far. I am able to create animator with text selector:var animator = newLayer.Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Animator");animator.name = "Line Selector";var opacityAnimator = animator.property("ADBE Text Animator Properties").addProperty("ADBE Text Opacity");var selector = animator.property("ADBE Text Selectors").addProperty("ADBE Text Selector"); I can access and change most of the settings like this:selector.property("Offset").setValue(1);selector.property("Advanced").property("Mode").setValue(2); However as soon as I change the units to Index from percentage like this:selector.property("Advanced").property("Units").setValue(2);I lose all control over selector. I can no longer change anything. If I again use something like:selector.property("Start").setValue(100)

Hello!I have a problem which I have ever experienced before. I have checked through the internet for a solution but I cant find anything! Now, I hope some of you After Effects gurus can explain to me what is going on! So I downloaded a project earlier from the internet which I wanted to use and edit for myself. The thing is, that I cant find all the elements on the timeline or in any comp. But I can see that there is alot more layers in the comp if I look on the flowchart. For example when I look on the "Main" comp. All I can see is compositions named "PlaceHolder1, 2, 3" and so on. Where you will place your own footage insted of what the original creater used. But the rest.. All the solids, displacements, adjustment layers, null object, they are totaly gone from the timeline, when I can clearly see that there is alot more than just "placeHolders" in the flowcharts. Is it possible somehow to hide all these layers to make it easier for the "new user"?If thats the case.. H

Hey, new to the program. I have been playing around with it the past few days, and for some reason today, I can not hold shift and snap the timeline bar to clips/markers/keyframes. Did I accidentally disable this? How can I fix it?

If you set the color engine to [OCIO] in After Effects 2024, you will be able to use [Display Color Space], but this [Display Color Space] cannot be assigned to shortcuts, etc.Is there any way to toggle between color spaces A and B as shown in the image below?

Are there certain AEGP suites we shouldn't/can't use in an AEGP Death Hook?I was trying to use the UtilitySuites to ReportInfo in my Death Hook, and while the suite pointers seem to be valid, it doesn't work properly to display the closing message. Any suggestions?

I'm fairly new to After Effects and animation but for some reason i've been having some problems with the brush tool for some reason when I wanna do masking and I wanna just paint over the masked layer and I want the paint to stay in that specific layer it suddenly just goes away in the next frame afterwards and it's been confusing me a bit.

I can not use any preset it shows missing effect like this  

I  reported this some while ago, and a message was posted that it was  fixed in 24.3.  Soorry, but it is not fixed,, it just crashed on  me yet again.... However the latest beta 24.4 does NOT seem to close down by itself, it has been running the same proejct   for somme 40 minutes right now.,so there is something weird going on between beta and release stages ?

Hi I hope someone can help with this issue I'm having.I have a composition with some stock footage of some smoke on a black background. I've changed the blending mode to screen so that I can put the smoke over other footage, which is fine, it works great. But then I want to duplicate the effect and make alterations in a new composition to bring it on other a different part of the back ground footage. So I make a new comp, copy over the smoke, and it has its black background back, only this time I can not get rid of it even when changing the blending mode to screen. Has anyone else encountered this issue please?
