After Effects

after effects 2023 stuck on initializing required components, how to resolve it please  

I'm having a problem in both After Effects and Premiere. I'm working with a 45+ minute long MP4 video. The video itself plays just fine on Windows Media Player. But when I import it into After Effects or Premiere for editing, the video and audio start perfectly together, but they get out of sync at the end. I'm not trying to sync the video file with a separate audio file. It's the MP4 file alone that becomes like this when imported into the timeline of either program. And it doesn't automatically fix itself when I render and export it either.I don't know if it's the video or the audio that changes its ending time, but it seems that the simple shortcut of moving one of them over on the timeline to match the other is not going to work. The program I need to fix this on the most is After Effects. Can somebody please help me?

Hi everyone,I thought I'd ask this since it seems to not be a feature, but how do I scale a mask from centre? When creating shapes (and in most other Adobe programs) you can create or transform from centre by holding Option/Alt, clicking and dragging but that doesn't seem to work.Does anyone have another method to scale masks from centre other than clicking Mask Path and manually setting the size? Thanks in advance

"With After Effects 23 and above versions, you can import your 3D models directly into your project and drop them into your composite alongside other 2D and 3D layers."I have 23.6 but have none of the 3D model import options. File>importAlso I cant see the v25 beta in my beta list in creative cloud app.Any ideas?CheersSteve

Hey all,The problem I'm having is every single time I hit 0 on the right keypad of my keyboard, the ram preview starts, the playhead moves, but it is always skipping the first 5-15 frames. Upon which I have to wait for the entire composition to finish in RAM preview before I can see the preview of those previously skipped frames. It doesn't matter how larger or how small (in terms of workload, layers, etc.) the composition is, this always happens. Can anyone help me out? I also just want to say, absolutely everything on my PC from OS, to GPU Drivers, to Adobe CC apps are completely and %100 updated. There are no other updates I can possibly get as of writing this. Thanks!______________________________________________PC Specs:OS: Windows 10 Update 1809AE CC 2019 162x Intel Xeon E5-2637 V3 (3.5GHz - 3.7Ghz)64GB 2133MhZ ECC RAM500GB SSD C:/ Drive256GB SSD AE Cache Drive2x 1080Ti2x 4K Dell Monitors

When I open AE files that was saved  12 hours ago, it opens the file as converted and showed two errors. Converted file comp is blank, everything is missing!!!    

I'm currently developing an ExtendScript script for Adobe After Effects that handles the rendering of compositions in Adobe Media Encoder (AME). While the rendering part functions correctly in AME, I'm encountering challenges in monitoring the rendering progress.This is the code i'm using  var rqItem = app.project.renderQueue.items.add(comp); var module = rqItem.outputModule(1); module.file = File (path+"/"+comp.name); app.project.renderQueue.queueInAME(true); I found this code for listening to the progress; however, it seems to be monitoring the After Effects internal renderer instead of the Adobe Media Encoder rendering process. var item = renderQueue.item(1); if (item.status == RQItemStatus.DONE) { $.writeln("Rendering is complete!"); } Any references or assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

Hi Guys,,,, Theres this video clip which is just black with a computer cabinet in the middle (its a simple box wireframe) like this... But its rotating in the clip...slowly as in its a 3D rendering. I just want to put a text on the front of the box so that it sticks to the front of the box and moves aligned with it in 3d. It doesnt seem to be working. I put the video clip on a layer and a text on the upper layer. Should the text layer be set to 3D and the video be left as a normal 2d layer. Also under tracking should i do motion tracking or camera track. I was hoping i could mark the 4 corners and the text would stick to that face. It tracks but the text goes and sticks to it at a funny angle and tilted (rotation). Some help please ?

My After Effects (23.6) on my MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019 (2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4) with macOS Ventura 13.5.1 freezes. I have had this problem for about 2 months. I have not seen any consistent pattern as to why the freeze happens. It even freezes sometimes when I create a new comp within a new file that is empty. Sometimes I can work for 3 hours, then it freezes. When it freezes, I can't move the cursor anymore, and after ca. 2 minutes of freeze, my MacBook crashes and reboots. Things I've already tried: - Reboot- Empty Cache- Remove all scripts and plugins- Uninstalling / Reinstalling- Working in "Safe Mode"- Installing Previous Versions (23.0, 23.1, 23.2, 23.4, 23.5, 23.6)- Bought an external SSD so I can safe the cache there- Created a new user on the Macbook to test if the problem persists.- Resetting MacBook to factory settings Nothing helped. Problem is still here. I don't know what more I can do. I am desperate f

When I try to Render My Cinema 4D Lite file the SAVE option does not give me the option to add a location on where to save the file.  When I try to render anyways I get the "There is no File name specified for the rendering image" message.  Can someone please provide guidance on how to fix this issue?  Below is a screen capture of my Save screen in render settings

Hello, I'm looking to create an expression that, when/if a value becomes a negative integer, 360 is added to it so that it becomes a positive integer <360. For example, if a certain value is -17 then the displayed value is 343. I'm beginning with this expression. It works fine, except when the slider goes into negative numbers, which, the way things are designed, it has to do sometimes.  val1 = thisComp.layer("Controls").effect("Heading Slider")("Slider")/388.89 val2= val1*100 Math.round(val2) The slider is set to values 1-1400, hence the /388.89. Much appreciate the help! I'm still an expression newbie.

I've created a new team project, created a new comp and dragged an image from a library into the composition. The image appears, but if I close and reopen the project, they are gone. I also get a weird message about the media associated with it. If I add a file, it ap pears, but it will disappear after reopening the project:  If I open the suggested tab, none of the options are available: I've already tried everything, including completely uninstalling Creative Cloud. 

Hola a todos. Tengo un problema con mi after effects 2023. Cuando importo videos o creo solidos. No me aparecen en mi pantalla de la precomposicion. Cuando pongo play para ver el video, no corre el timeline y se queda estancado. Con respecto a los solidos, la composicion que previametne es en color negro y a la medida de mi composicion, a penas los creo;la pantalla se vuelve ploma como toda la interfaz del after. Con los videos, al principio parace que esta todo okey, pero al minuto empieza a presentar fallos, los mismo que cuando creo solidos. No se logran visualizar en mi pantalla de la composicion y ademas no corre el timeline a pesar que esta prerenderizado. Alguien sabe que puede ser?

I can't see nothing just a white screen in view

I've made a precomp with some footage that I've dropped into my main comp.  In the main comp an additional frame that has been cut in the precomp appears at about 60% opacity.  When I view the precomp all is fine.  It only appears in the main comp.  If I try to cut out the extra frame from the precomp in the main comp it then glitches worse in another area again showing frames that have been cut at a lower opacity on top of the footage.  Frame rates are the same between comps.  I've cleaned my cache.  I've never encountered this before so I'm not sure how to reproduce.  What could be causing this?AE 23.6 / Mac Ventura 13.2Here's the main comp –Same frame in the precomp –  

There's a project I've been working on for a couple weeks.  The last time I worked on it was 09/12/23 and it worked perfectly fine.  Today, whenever I try to open it, AE instantly crashes to desktop.  I've tried starting in safe mode, clearing preferences, disabling all 3rd party plugins, creating a new project and loading the troublesome project into it, and doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of AE 23.6 and nothing works.  Instant crash every single time.  All my other projects open perfectly fine.  When I try to open it in safe mode, I get the following errors:  Being as that one .jsxbin is speficially mentioned, I've deleted it and still nothing.  My computer specs are: Windows 10 64-bitCpu: Ryzen 5900xGpu: Gtx 1080ti64gb RamAE is saved on my startup SSD, my caches are on a seperate SSD, and the project is onan 8tb HDD.  This is a time sensitive project so I'll be happy to provide any other information and all help is greatly

Hi!I have a problem, and this problem is finding the simmilar effect or bypass to achieve the same result as option in Photoshop called "transparency shapes layer". I followed the tutorial how to make the sun within the trees, and it requied this option turned off, blend mode to color dodge, and the layer to be cirle with big gradual fade on alpha on the edges, feather it's called I guess...? So... in Ae I decided to make it the same way to degree. It did not work very good. I changed blending mode from color burn to its classic version, and changed layer from adjustment layer to normal layer. It did better job. Pretty good actually. But the best effect was when I used effect called "Gradient ramp" and switched to radial ramp option. Well, this made a difference! Hell, it was almost perfect if not perfect! But I am just curious if it is possible to make this when I am working in alpha, not black and white. I achieved what I wanted, and created this post to save the solution for the oth

Ever sine the release of 2023 I have been unable to use AE.  It can not preview videos or effects.  I am doing a simple Picture in Picture dissolve and anytime I make a change it just freezes up.  If I save and reopen it may play back and cache for 5 - 10 minutes or so but as soon as I try to adjust anything (effects, timing, etc.)  It stops displaying.  If open same scene in 2022 I do not have any problems. I have and RTX 3090, 32 GB ram, Windows 10, and multicore Intel cpu and 100s of Gigs of scratch disk space.  Ive tried updating Nvidia drivers but no luck.  I am trying that once more, but not hopeful. Anyone else experience this?

Dears, I have canceled my subscription in Adobe AE but I got a withdraw message!! after my cancellation? even I couldn't find a support email to correct that issue? I need someone from support to fix the issue and refund the money !!!

Hi Everybody, Is there a script that automatically re-names a comp the name of the project? Like, before I even open the project? I don't want to have to use buttons or gizmos. I just want the initial comp in the bin to be the name of the projectFile.aep, like a relative template. Thanks for any suggestions.
