After Effects

I made this post a few days ago After this, I contacted Adobe Customer Support to speak with a live agent who could help me with this problem. He was given remote access to my computer and for an hour he was just doing the same things I already told him I tried. I decided to just completely erase the software from my computer and reinstall Creative Cloud and After Effects like it’s the first time using it and I’m still getting the same crash errors-- on different versions of AE too! I just tried chat support and the agent said they were going to check into my problem and then ended our conversation. I have no idea what to do from here. 

I’ve tried with Multi-Frame Rendering and without it and result same. I trying switch nvidia drivers to studio from game ready and it not help. crashes even when idle.My specs are:Processor: ryzen 7 7800x3dRAM: 32 GB usableOS: Windows 11 64-bitGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Dedicated Storage: 100 GBAE 2025

I’ve tried using ChatGPT to create this text effect But this is what I got:As you can see, my glow is attached to the letters, whereas the example’s glow is as a bluish background. How do I create this text effect?

Is there a way to time-stretch a comp, but keep audio clip pitch and duration? I know that it's possible to "un-stretch" the audio to compensate, but I’m looking for an easier workflow. 

Hello, I have a question. Could someone please explain to me how I can create that small glow effect in After Effects? I’ve searched for tutorials but haven’t been able to find anything. If someone can help me, I’d really appreciate it.Below I’m leaving images of how I want the effect to look.I want the object to look normal at first, then glow, and then stop glowing smoothly, just like it looks in the images. 

have a triangle that is attached to a controller. I need the reference point of the Turbulent displace effect parameter 'turbulence displacement' to be attached to the height point of the triangle's base only on the Y axis. I have also attached the 'turbulence displacement' parameter point to the controller only on the Y axis using the following expression:PosB = thisComp.layer("Ball").transform.position;xOnly = PosB[0];X = thisComp.layer("Controller").transform.xPosition;Y = thisComp.layer("Controller").transform.yPosition;value = [X, Y=0]+xOnly;

I just started learning After Effects, but I can't download the training media files in the Adobe Video Training. How can i overcome this? 

Every time I try to import a file from adobe animate in to After effects 2024-2025 it remains stuck at 0 then displays the error message "an error occurred while importing this file . Please try again". I have tried every troubleshooting method possible and spoken to Adobe customer service, no luck. Please help.  

Hi, I am using workflow DaVinci Resolve (for edit) -> XML -> AAE (for VFX) for years. Today, wanted to import XML timeline to AAE again, but nothing happened. Tried close all panels, but still XML import is not working, nothing happens. When I try to drag&drop it, the red icon appears next to the cursor. I was using it normally for years, I don't know what happened. I have newest update of AAE 25.2.2 (Build 2), BUT weird thing is, that it doesn't work even in older CC2024 version. That probably means that something happened with my system? Is there some shared .XML plugin for import XML to AAE, that would stop working? Or anything? Thanks for suggestions.Dave 

Hi there, what the difference between AEP and FLA in adobe after effects and adobe animate I don’t know what’s the difference Thanks Kevin

Quiero hacer la animación de un trazo con la herramienta pluma en after effect y al momento de escribir una palabra con la pluma, reproduzco el vídeo y cuando llega a la parte donde está el texto escrito con la pluma la pantalla de previsualización se pone negra, que hago? 

I’m running different version of AE on Windows on a macbook pro M1 using Parallels Desktop to test our plugins/scripts Before AE 26, After Effects was running in emulation mode.With AE 26.x, it’s running natively on ARM.Is there a way to enable the emulation so I can test x64 version of our plugin?CheersVal

Double-clicking on a composition does not open it in the project window.I’s the same issue on the composition window. It is impossible to access the menu by left-clicking on a composition in the project window.

Hey Adobe Community,I have some abstract compositions that I need to render in 4K. Most of them consist of some simple 3D shape layers (3 points, connected to 3D Nulls). These are pre-comped, and these pre-comps have colour and blur effects applied to them (Camera Lens Blur, Gaussian Blur, Colorama, CC Toner, these kinds of effects). They’re about a minute long.When trying to render these out (using mostly the H.264 - Match Render Settings - 15Mbps preset) the Memory seems to blow out of proportion, completely clogging up my machine. This also happens with the effects disabled.I’ve tried using my Mac’s internal SSD, and an external SSD as cache. The Maximum Disk Cache Size is set at 150GB. With the 64GB installed, 12GB is set as reserved for other applications. I’ve purged the caches, and restarted the Mac multiple times, but to no avail – it clogs up like this every single time, and I’m stuck not being able to render them. Is there anything I’m doing wrong here? To me it seems like Af

Hi, I have a question. Can someone help me create this effect in After Effects? I want to make my object have a small glow and then disappear, like in the image. Could someone please explain it to me?Here are the reference images to see if someone can help me. I've tried to do it but it's not working smoothly. Thanks.

I have a comp size solid that I have a layer style stroke on and. when I change the Advanced Blending it punches through all layers below as if it was on Stencil Alpha. And oddly enough trying Stencil Alpha or Silhouette Alpha changes nothing. But if I move the layer 1 pixel it operates as expected. Also if I draw a mask on it. So my workaround right now is to have a mask that is bigger than the layer.

당장 며칠 전에 25.6 으로는 잘만 되다가 26.0 버전으로 업데이트 이후에는 전혀 재생이 되지 않습니다.프리뷰가 안되는 것은 아닙니다. 재생바를 이동시키면 화면이 잘 움직입니다.

I queue up a project with image 1 in the encoder render, then I go back to the project and change it to image 2 while the first video is still rendering. The encoder changes image 1 to image 2 halfway through the first video. The problem is that for the last two years I have been working the same way and nothing changed in the real-time render if I changed something in the project, but now it changes. This has never happened before. I asked couple of buddies and they said that it worked always like that :/
