After Effects

Hi,In after effects when I use the 3D meshes i can see it is possible to use the community assets from Substance 3D from this page: https://substance3d.adobe.com/community-assets Are they free? And i have to credit the author? If i upload something to instagram for example Thanks, Francesco

First i thought is was the drone footage. Then tried mp4 vs prorez422. Same fps. Same comp size. Full quality preview. Detailed analysis. Clear cache. All has failed. ok, can i track a simple rotating square precomp in same size and fps?! NO!--AE 25.6Tahoe 26.1You want me to do this in Resolve? You got it, Adobe.   

I’m repeatedly getting “Unable to allocate memory” (Error 12803) while previewing and rendering, sometimes failing to allocate as little as 126–512 MB, which makes no sense given my system.This happens on relatively simple comps (text, credits), and never used to happen in older AE versions. It occurs both during preview and render, sometimes mid-render after a few minutes. I am using AE 25.5.  System specs:CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X (32-core)RAM: 128 GBOS: Windows 11 Pro (22H2)AE Memory available: 112 GBMulti-Frame Rendering: Enabled (issue also happens intermittently with it off)Disk cache is on a fast local drive, and memory preferences are correctly configured.This feels like a regression in recent AE versions, possibly related to MFR or memory fragmentation. Looking for confirmation, workarounds, or known bugs related to this behavior.

Hi, Each time i import footages into my project , the default interpretation is set to Rec 709.Most of the time, it shouldn't be converted as so. When I have a lot of footages to handle, i have to check this and change my interpretation to "preserve RGB" for every footage.  To avoid that, is there any way to change the default after effect's media interpretation ? That would be hell of a time saver !  Thanks  

Hey team, I have a vector file with a map that I'd like to animate on. Ideally have each individual circle scale up like a little 'pop', but not all at the same time? I have a layer with the vector file linked, and another layer set as a solid with the circle masks pasted onto them.I could manually animate all 223 circles, but that is time I'd rather spend on the main video edit. Is there a quick solution here? I'm comfortable in AE but no guru.Thank you! 

Hello tout le monde, J'ai un gros problème avec After et Pr, mais surtout Ae. La prévisualisation est hyper lente, même quand mes animations se résument à des anim de positions ou d'échelle, au point qu'il est presque impossible de correctement les synchroniser. Ma config date seulement de septembre et je pensais qu'elle était correcte donc je suis assez perplexe sur la situation. Que ce soit la V2024 ou V2025 d'after j'ai le problème (mais encore pire avec la V2025).Voici ma config : - Disque interne 1 : SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO 2 TB 2.5 SATA- Disque interne 2 : KINGSTON NV3 2000G M.2 2280 PCIE 4.0 NVME- Carte mère : ASROCK B650 PRO RS AMD AM5 B650/4DDR5/4SATA3- Barettes : GSKILL DDR5 RIPJAWS S5 64 GB 6000 MT/S 2 X 32GB- Processeur : AMD CPU RYZEN 7 9700X MAX-5.5GHZ -100-100001404WOF- Carte graphique : KFA2 5070 EXGSi quelqu'un a une idée de l'origine du problème, ça me sauvera la mise

I can't find the option "Set path keyframes" in AE 2026, it was previously found under "animation". Is it gone or does anyone know where it is now?

I have just realized that with 2026 update, my older versions of After Effects are missing. I tried to find 2024 version in older versions, but only 2025 is there. Is there a way to find and restore my installation!?

ProductionCrate have released a free plug-in, which recreates the look of Interstellar's Black Hole.  No stranger to making Black Hole's in After Effects (I've done two tutorials in the past), I was disappointed to learn that this plug-in was part of LaForge suite.  But digging a little deeper, it turns out there are free effects within LaForge.  In this video I do my best to get that point across in a fun way and there share what I've learned about the effect.   This NEW Free Black Hole Plugin for After Effects is Insane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ChSu8UwWNU

Bonjour !Je suis entrain de faire un motion design sur after effects et je rencontre un problème avec les calques d'effets. J'ai avancé sur mon projet, et je voudrais juste ajouter un flou gaussien au début..Mais dès que je met le calque sur la timeline (sans effet) les calques qui se trouvent en dessous disparaisent avant la fin de leur mouvement (vidéo à l'appuie) Est-ce que vous auriez une solutions, j'ai essayé de relier le calque à un objet nul, de le mettre en 3D. Rien ne change et je ne peux pas précomposer sans que ça détruisse tous mon travail.

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on an Ionic app where users can watch YouTube videos inside the app, and I’m trying to figure out the best overall approach.There seem to be multiple options—using an embedded iframe, opening videos in the native YouTube app or browser, or relying on plugins like Capacitor/Cordova YouTube players. Each approach looks fine on paper, but I’m curious about real-world experience.For those who’ve already done this:What method worked best for you in terms of performance and user experience?Any issues with autoplay, fullscreen behavior, or background playback?Are there platform-specific gotchas on Android vs iOS that I should be aware of?

I'm running AE 25.6.4, with copyright 2026, so I presume this is where my masks do not work.  Restarted, shut down restarted, gave it overnight - masks just do not work. I'll see if I can go back to the previous version of AE 2025.  Tried AE 2026 of course, but it repeatedly froze in places during render ... things that had rendered fine in AE 2025.  2026 froze rendering different comps in different projects, so I can't use that yet. I'm running a Mac Studio M4 with maxed out everything, new but haven't had any problems with anything else.

Hi, I'm having constant issues with preview playback of cached frames.I have i9 13900 Intel cpu with 128 GB RAM and fast SSD for storage and separate SSD for cache.When palying a preview with sound the playback slowdowns and shutters very often even the frames are cached. What's more frustrating when changing the sound layer eg. its volume, cache is gone and it rebuilds itself again. 

Wenn ich After Effects 2026 - Windows 11 in mein Projekt gehe, -mein Video, bzw. die Vorschau abspielen möchte, wird mit dem drücken der Leertaste, das Hand symbol kurz aktiviert. Bzw. das Hand Symbol erscheint so lange, wie ich die Leertaste drücke.  Ich möchte das ändern, aber weiß nicht wie, ich bitte um Hilfe. Die Hand ist in den Tastaturbefehlen normal auf H, und die Leertaste ist auch normal auf Vorschau abspielen, trotzdem wird die Hand dann angezeit.

The preview won't play. I've tried adjusting the audio hardware settings, but it still doesn't work. It won't play even in Safe Mode or after removing all plugins. I've also reinstalled After Effects and even reformatted Windows. Please help. For detailed symptoms, please refer to the video.After Effects 26.0Windows 11 25H2 OS Build 26200.7623

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue where After Effects won’t launch properly.Every time I open it, the Crash Repair dialog appears.No matter which option I choose: Start in Safe Mode, Reset Preferences, Manage Plugins, or Continue, After Effects still fails to launch. When I try to launch After Effects, I can see it appear in Task Manager for about 5 seconds, then it disappears without fully opening.I’ve already tried:Running After Effects as AdministratorUninstalling and reinstalling After Effects multiple timesRestarting my laptopUnfortunately, none of these solved the problem.I’m currently on Windows 11 (AMD laptop).Has anyone experienced this before or knows what else I can try?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Below is a video showing that I selected one of the Crash Repair options, but After Effects still fails to launch.

Hello! I have a 168px x 48px After Effects file, and when I place a png of the same dimension it's pixelated, and then when I post a png of double the pixel width it's still blurry. The viewing resolution in After Effects is set to Full so it's not that. I don't know what to do!! Thank you! 

I want to have particles emitted from a line rather than a single point. ChatGPT suggested having the emitter point travel continually along the line at high speed to fake the look. But all of the expressions it gave me failed. Can this be done without an add on? Are there better ways?

Installation Path: Pure English characters onlyIssue Summary: Enabling the "Advanced 3D" renderer in the Chinese language version of After Effects causes the application to crash with the error "Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception". It is hypothesized that this is a localization bug related to the non-English characters in the Chinese translation "高级 3D".Steps to Reproduce:1. Ensure After Effects language is set to Chinese.2. Create a new composition.3. Create a layer (e.g., shape layer or text layer).4. In Composition Settings or the Layer panel, switch the renderer to "Advanced 3D".5. Enable the 3D switch for the layer.6. The application crashes instantly.Expected Result: The "Advanced 3D" renderer should be enabled successfully, and 3D features should work as intended.Actual Result: After Effects crashes with the error message: "After Effects can't continue: Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception.". This issue may also be present in other localized v
