After Effects

Hello,The SA Color Finesse 3 effect in After Effects CS6 has stopped showing anything in the Full Interface. No image, no curves, no scope. Just the basic interface. This is unusual because it was showing the image and curves and scope fine just previously. And the simplified interface still shows fine and affects the image in the composition view.I thought it might relate to an auto update run from inside After Effects, so I uninstalled AE and reinstalled the original file to get rid of the update. But this has not corrected the problem.Could anyone offer why this might be happening so suddenly? Has anyone else had this problem?

After Effects v: 25.6.4 (Build 3) Text In text box deselects when clicking the Character panel.Unable to format text or achieve different weights / sizes within a text box.Example text in 1 Tex Boxt:A sailor went to sea, sea, seaTo see what he could see, see, seeBut all that he could see, see, seeWas the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!I cannot accomplish this:A sailor went to sea, sea, seaTo see what he could see, see, seeBut all that he could see, see, seeWas the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!Rather, I get this:A sailor went to sea, sea, seaTo see what he could see, see, seeBut all that he could see, see, seeWas the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea! 

After Effects Version 23.2.0 (Build 65) Windows 11 22H2 (Build 22621.1265)   Menu items take a long time to drop down when clicked, sometimes over a minute. The software will hang while I wait. The Composition menu is the least responsive of the menus. This started after I upgraded to Windows 11.   Expected result: click on the Composition menu and see the dropdown instantly Actual result: click on the Composition menu and After Effects hangs for up to a minute before the menu appears.   Title edited by Mod.

I’m struggling to use After Effects after the new update, it seems super unstable compared to before. I have constant crashed and overall it’s insanely slow now. It will often crash and I am unable to launch the app back up again, even after killing every task related to AfterFX and Adobe, the only way to launch is to restart my PC…I have reinstalled AE, reinstalled my GPU drivers (using DDU for clean install), cleared cache and everything I can think of…There seems to be a very frequent error with my AE Cache not working correctly, as you can see in the log file… any ideas?

I’m working at a 3D and animation studio where a big part of our pipeline is based on USD. We’re trying to bring cameras from USD scenes into After Effects, along with reference points or nulls that represent object positions in 3D space.The idea is to use that data in After Effects to place 2D elements correctly in the scene, like cards with effects, but we’re having a hard time finding a solid way to import everything so it lines up properly.Right now we’re a bit stuck and not sure what the best approach is. Is there any recommended workflow for this? Maybe a common way to transfer camera data and position references into After Effects that we’re missing?Any advice or pointers would be really appreciated.

Hey, I’m trying to export multiple comps from After Effects using Encoder, but when I click send to encoder for export, i get an error message that says the below: I did installed an older version of Encoder, which fixed the After effects problem, but then my exports from Premier stopped working.How can I fix this? Thanks 😪

https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/ae-stops-updating-interface-shows-spinning-cursor-when-rendering-via-script/m-p/8471675#M136397 same problem, almost 10 years!

The graphics fonts are appearing in inconsistent way.The fonts are appearing in uppercase and lowercase for the same parameter.For example, in the attached image the line should be “LUCKY GIRL” but its appearing as LUCky GIRL” Regenerating it again is making the fonts appear correctly.Can you please help what is affecting it

I work with AE fullscreen, using ctrl+\ shortcut. I want a Preview of my comp and hit Spacebar.If my Preview is not set to fullscreen, the interface of AE stays as it is (fullscreen) and so it is with the zoom in my comp. If my Preview is set to fullscreen, at the end of the preview AE exits from fullscreen and I find the entire comp, not zoomed anymore. It’s annoying after every fullscreen Preview putting all the things back... If you multiply it many many times, it’s a stressing waste of time.Thanks for your help!Lorenzo

OK, it seems like this is a known bug but I found a couple data points, some of which might be new.The Problem: In AE 26.0, while rendering from a Synology NAS to a Synology NAS (with AE project on same NAS), during rendering, the Synology volume will be passively unmounted. It can be re-mounted without problem, but when unmounted the render fails because it can’t find the source files. Basically, in short order after starting render (w/in first 5 min or so), AE or the OS is kicking the Synology off on that computer. The Synology continues running, it just got unmounted locally.A couple of useful details: if I disable Multi-frame rendering, the project will render successfully. This has been documented elsewhere.HOWEVER, since I’m the weirdo with 7 various computers, I can report where it is and is NOT happening, and this isn’t happening on my Windows 10 based system (i9 w/1080ti), nor is it happening on my 2020 10 core iMac running 14.8.4It IS happening on my Macs running 15.7.4 on bo

In After Effects 25.3 on macOS, using mouse scroll or Option + mouse scroll no longer zooms in the composition panel. Instead, it pans the view, regardless of modifier key. This function worked fine in version 25.2. Tested on multiple Macs with clean installs and no tablet drivers.Please restore the ability to zoom with scroll in a future update.

Hi folks, If I open an After Effects project produced elsewhere and there are missing fonts, how can I select a font to use instead of the missing one? Particularly in the the situation where I have the font used but perhaps mine has a slightly different name so I'd like to just say 'use this instead please' Thanks

The template I downloaded uses frames for portrait photos but I also want to use landscape photos. Is it possible to edit the frames?

As in, can I have the beta version use the workspace and preferences from the main version of AE? So all workspaces, plugins, preferences stay the same across both?

 I'm using AE 25.5 on my new PC, and exporting mogrt won't do anything but give these temporary comps which is basically 640*360 version of the original mogrt. I've tried downgrading all the way to AE 24 and same thing happens, no matter how simple the mogrt would be(like only 1 line of text) I did find out that the mogrts are stuck in Temp>aegraphic>(randomfilename)>aemogrtFiles, but in .aeg and not actual mogrt. It seems like AE manages to make .aeg files, but fail merge it with the temporary comp for the preview and get stuck...How could I fix this?

Problem DescriptionThe ExtendScript API operation renderQueueItem.outputModule().file = has a character encoding problem: when setting output paths containing non-ASCII characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, European special characters, etc.), these characters are replaced with dashes (-----). Testing shows that manually setting the same paths in the AE interface works perfectly, and the API can correctly read manually set non-ASCII paths, but after setting through the API , it displays as dashes, indicating the issue occurs during the API's write process.Note: This functionality worked correctly in After Effects 2024.Version InformationAfter Effects Version: 2025 (latest version)Platform: Windows 11OS Version: 24H2Steps to ReproduceUse ExtendScript to create new render queue itemsTry to set output paths containing non-ASCII characters via APIObserve the display result in the render queue panelTest ScriptSimply create a new project and run this script directly:// Create three test comp
