After Effects

Hello, one and all. First time poster. I am having some issues with After Effects and my iMac.I currently use two iMacs.One is at work, and the other is at home.The work one is the space grey model, and the one at home isn’t. I am having issues with the one at home.Every time I open After Effects, it completely crashes the Mac.No error message, nothing, black screen, total wipeout.I have to force shut down the machine and start again.I have projects that always open at work that will crash the home machine.I even tried scaling back one project as it’s quite large, but it still crashed the home machine.Even if I set up a new project, it will crash. I thought it might be the RAM, as when I first got this machine, there was only 8GB installed and my work one has 32GB so I updated the machine at home to 32 GB. After I had updated the RAM, I managed to open a project.Thinking I had fixed it, I opened another project, and it crashed again.I got a project to open in s

 I'm trying to run an ExtendScript (JSX) in Adobe After Effects 2024 using the command line option -r to execute the script. However, every time I attempt to run the command, After Effects crashes.What I've tried:Using ExtendScript directly: When I manually open the .aep project file, wait 15 seconds, and then run the JSX script via the ExtendScript toolkit, it does not crash, but nothing happens.Running the script via the command line: It crashes as soon as I try to execute it with the -r option.My setup:Operating System: Windows 10After Effects Version: Adobe After Effects 2024Script: A JSX script that opens a project, saves a backup with the suffix "_backup", and suppresses dialog boxes during execution using app.beginSuppressDialogs() and app.endSuppressDialogs(false).Command I'm using: "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects 2024/Support Files/afterfx.exe" -r "C:/Users/Shadow/Keyframe Studio Dropbox/EP/Scripts/generated_script.jsx"  What the script does:Ope

often encounter the problem that when I want to render from After Effects through Encoder, it doesn’t respond.•It opens, but the project for rendering doesn’t appear.•Or you drag and drop the project directly from AE, and it thinks for a while, then doesn’t respond anymore, or the project appears but when I hit render, it keeps thinking and says that such a project does not exist.•The same thing happens when I import the project directly into Encoder; it might say it can’t find it or, in general, the file I’m pointing to doesn’t load.I usually noticed that this can happen with large projects, with many compositions, or with effects like Posterize Time.

When using an OCIO config with file rules in place, it seems as though image sequences do not respect the file rules. For example, I've set EXR file types to come in as ACEScg. This works for single EXR files but not for EXR sequences.  This is what I have in the config for the file rules. As you can see, anything with EXR extension should be flagged for ACEScg while everything else will default to Raw.  file_rules: - !<Rule> {name: OpenEXR, extension: "exr", pattern: "*", colorspace: ACEScg} - !<Rule> {name: Default, colorspace: Raw} However, with this set, all EXR image sequences get missed and come in as Raw. Also, it's not just EXR sequences. I just did a test with PNG sequences and making a rule to interpret PNGs as "sRGB - Texture". Again, the single PNG comes in correctly while the PNG sequence gets missed and comes in as Raw. Since I can't attach the OCIO config or EXRs, you can recreate this by creating a custom version of the

After Effects 24.6.2 (Build 2) When a layer is deleted, the Effects Control panel displays the effects of another layer in the composition, even though that layer is not selected in the composition.The expected behavior would be for the Effects Control panel to be empty. Interestingly, the bug fixes itself after a while. Composition hierarchy:Null 3 --> Effect > SLIDER 3Null 2 --> Effect > SLIDER 2Null 1 --> Effect  > SLIDER 1 

I use After effect v24. Whenever i try to use 3D camera tracker and Warp Stabilizer, i get error: Unable to obtain dynamic link server. Please help me to solve this issues. 

I have recently noticed that the "Properties Panel" seems to be interfering with triggering FX Console. In AE 24.6.1, the biggest offenders are text layers, and to a lesser extent shape layers. Their properties panels seem to somehow impede the launch. Layers/assets with less parameters such as video/solids/art, seem to be fine.Currently the only solve, is to temporarily close the Properties Panel, and/or disable its use all together. Which is unfortunate, as the Properties Panel is great!Additional Info: I've tried on (2) diff machines (Win10 & Win11) the latest AE Beta, and have similar results. AE23 works great! I've also sent an email to VideoCopilot, so hopefully something comes of that.MP4 screenshot should hopefully be attached for clarity.

Hi, I c'ant open AE anymore. I think i deleted a file on my computer trying to make storage room available and now it's stuck. Everytime I want to open it, it says alert :  MEE_Plugins> <5> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore And then can't open After effect following that...

Since 2-3 days I'm facing alot of crash. Is it with other's as well or there's some problem with my laptop? 

Hello, I have encountered a very odd issue where my main composition is unable to (0ms apparently) render a single frame and it appears black. When pressing space to playback, I receive the following error when pressed BEFORE the missing frame OR during export: After Effects error: bad checkout ID passed to checkout_layer_pixels (25 : 244). This happens on both 2023 (ran on rosetta so I can select more choice of 3rd party plugins) and the converted proj file on 2024.  I am on a 16GB MBP M1, Sonoma 14.1.1. The suprising part here is that the frame is totally fine in my precomp. It runs smoothly and renders it, so something is unable to communicate that frame back to my composition, clearly. 

Hi everyone,I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue with After Effects (version 24.6.1) on my Windows 10 PC,. The problem occurs when working with video files in a composition. The entire program becomes noticeably laggy and slow, especially when pausing, playing, or right-clicking on a video in the timeline. This lag also extends to the menus, such as Composition or Layer, where there’s a significant delay in response (sometimes even freezing for 1 minute). After spending hours trying to figure out what’s causing this, I discovered that the issue seems to be related to the video file itself. If I have a different media type selected, like images or another composition, the lag disappears. So, I concluded that having this particular video file selected triggers the performance issues. The problematic video was edited in After Effects and Premiere, then processed with Media Encoder. When I imported a similar video (edited and processed the same way), I didn’t encounter the

I just finished my project and 9 files are randomly missing. I replaced the files and it says "After efffects error: Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again." It also says that the file I replace the missing file with is damaged or unsupported and it can't be imported. Please help. 

This issue has been around for ages. The value shown also shows Auto Leading as being selected even when it isn't. This issue MAY be brought about by Text Styling Expressions that affect Leading Values even in unrelated projects/comps.

Karşılaştığım iki sorunu tartışmak istiyorum ve bunların çözümü konusunda bana yardımcı olursanız çok mutlu olurum. 1 - Programı normal kullanırken, ertesi gün başlatmaya çalıştığımda 'program çalışmayı durdurdu' hatası vermeye başladı. Şu anda Creative Cloud üzerinden yeniden yüklenmiyor; ne yaparsam yapayım %57'de takılıp kalıyor. Programı ücretli abonelikle kullanıyorum ve içinde crackli bir yazılım yok. Donanım hata ekranlarını  alt boyutlarda paylaşacağım.   2 - Adobe Color profil hatası After Effects yazılımımda bir renk profili sorunuyla karşılaşıyorum. Dosyaları içe aktardığımda, standart 2.2 gama ile görüntülenmeleri gerekirken, 1.0 gama değeriyle görünüyorlar. Görüntü ayarlarını düzeltme girişimlerime rağmen sorun devam ediyor. Sorun özellikle kullanıcı profilimle ilgili olarak ortaya çıkıyor gibi görünüyor. Windows'ta diğer kullanıcı profillerine geçtiğimde sorun görünmüyor. Etkiyi sıfıra indirmeyi, yazılımı yeniden yüklemeyi ve ayarları va

I had been facing a very weird issues with after effects and premiere pro.my last project is made of one composition of a wide screen with just a few solid color shape in the background and some pictures of peoples and there name with mix of illustrator files and text layer. All of it precomped in a small composition with just a png picture of the stage.In the preview panel, everything play good, nothing looks weird. but when i export it, i get this glitching frames, looks like artifacts or a glitches ruining the pictures or the shapes during moving, even glitches appears on parts on the PNG that doesn't have any movement at all. Also it sometimes skips frames and jump forward in time. Similar problem has been happening with a different project, it's a dynamic link timeline imported from adobe premiere pro, with 1 minute of footages, edited on 1080p.i added some Ai logo layers and some text. also plays good inside after effects, but after rendering it, i found some glitches, with

Subject says it all--any time I open a CC program (I just use AE the most so I'm putting it here, since there doesn't appear to be an all-CC forum, but it happens with any program and/or CC desktop) for the first time after restarting my computer, I get a "The font LTC Goudy Oldstyle Pro Bold was added" notification. It only happens with this one font--any other Adobe font I use behaves normally. Why is this, and how can I make that stop? It's not harmful, just annoying and perplexing. I'm on a stout Windows 10 desktop PC with plenty of memory/RAM/GPU horsepower, running the latest CC programs (but this has been going on for a while, for the last few updates).

(recategorizing a discussion post as a bug) OverviewWe would like to be able to identify which version of After Effects was responsible for the creation of a project (.aep) file programatically in order to make informed judgements about what version of After Effects should be used to render those projects on our renderfarm. We are encouraged by the presence of the CreatorTool field in the embedded metadata that is visible by running the unix 'strings' command on the file, but have observed some disconcerting behavior in this area. Observed BehaviorWe were surprised to find that regardless of if the project file was created in After Effects 2022 (22.6) or After Effects 2023 (23.1), the value of the CreatorTool field is always 'Adobe Photoshop 23.2 (20220128.orig.527 28d5e1a) (Macintosh)'. Note that not only is the version incorrect, but the product itself is incorrect as well. If we save a copy of the project as an XML export (.aepx) the 'CreatorTool' and 'softwareAgent'

[NOTE: I have tried to upload repro .zip, but it system didn't allow me to do so, so I have uploaded it as .pptx (this forum does not allow uploading of .zip / .aep / .jsx / ...).

If you are to open project, to add expression and to read its value inside of the same script, results might be invalid (they are reproducibly invalid for sampleImage at least). If you were to open project inside of the script, then finish the script, then add expression and read its value inside of another script everything would work as expected. I have much more complicated examples, but attached is the minimal repro - I'm using sample image to detect whether image has any transparency (it does not). script1.jsx, which does everything inside a single script, returns that image is transparent, which is wrong. script2.jsx which

I'm reposting this as I mistakenly posted the last one as corrected answer... I'm still having this issue where the video renders as completely black... Here is the updated settings: Again, I've also tried adding a solid layer, nothing seems to work.Would appreciate any advice as it's making me pull my hair out. Thank you!

Before the recent updates, the 'Range Selector' would update based on what type of 'Unit' was selected when adding a 'Position Animator' on text. For example, when adding a 'Position Animator' and selecting 'Index', the 'Range Selector' 'Start' 'End' would default to the number of 'Characters' in the text. If 'Based On' was changed to 'Lines' (for example), the 'Range Selector' 'Start' 'End' numbers would unpdate to the number of lines in the text. This is no longer the case. The 'Range Selector' 'Start' 'End' remains on the character count or, whichever 'Based On' option was selected prior to selecting the 'Units' option. It no longer updates.

Hey, I'm currently attempting to load a model into element 3d, but whenever I do it, the textures dont load. They load in the scene setup but once I get back to my main composition it goes completely grey. Any help?

EGP Context - for Font Size, please replace displayed label, "Size" with Font Size. This seems trivial but gets me so many times and for Video Editors it's an unnecesary source for confusion. It's become a huge pain having to workaround this for occasions when it isn't necessary. 

In a fresh new project, collecting works as expected. However, once you go to collect a comp containing some asset(s), it seems to remember them moving forward and will start to ignore the For Selected Comps setting, even if you go back to selecting the empty comp(s). I've attached a very quick demo showcasing what I'm describing. I don't show it in this video, but I did test collecting the empty comp and it does indeed adhere to the footage listed at the end of the video. Opening that collected file shows all comps.   I've seen the "reduce project first, then collect" workaround recommended in the past, and that would work. Another workaround seems to be to close and reopen the project. That seems to make AE forget that you almost collected different comps before and it starts working as expected.Overall it seems like a pretty finicky bug that can be tough to expose consistently.   Tested on:AE Version 24.6.1 (another user confirmed on previous version and different OS)
