After Effects

US = Guys, I made a 3D text in After and when rendering, After does not use the memory in the render in the composition that has the 3D text... in the other one that does not have 3D text it uses almost 70% of the memory. What could it be? (macbook M4) PT =  Galera, fiz um texto 3D no after e na hora de renderizar o after não usa a memória no render na composição que tem o texto 3D .. na outra que não tem texto 3D ele usa quase 70% da memória. O que pode ser? (macbook M4)

I am using the Track Motion feature to straighten out a video that goes out of balance at different points. I am using the method that was provided to me here: https://www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/1n4ircl/comment/nbmlnd8/ The method seems to be working, but I'm not sure how long it's supposed to be taking. For a 45 minute video, to do both track points, it takes about 4 hours to process. I am making the tracking box as small as possible, and clearing cache/memory before processing, using a video that was converted to ProRes 422. My computer specs are below: ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz (1.99 GHz)Installed RAM32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)System type64-bit operating system, x64-based processorEditionWindows 11 ProVersion24H2OS build26100.6584ExperienceWindows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.234.0 So am I getting the best processing time I can with my specs, or should be this working faster with some tweaks?

I've got some guide layers in my comp, and on playback within After Effects, they aren't showing. I can see them when paused. My understanding of guide layers is that they show within After Effects, including on preivew, but won't render upon export. At least…that's how they've worked in all my years of experience! Anyway, I'm sure I've got some box checked that I don't know about that's responsible for this. Let me know what you guys know. Thanks!

Hi every one. I want to make a website to edit the after effect projects (.aep) files and then render them to make online videos.the scenario is :1- i make some editable aep files and put them into the server in a website2- users get online and put their data into inputs in website (text, logo and  etc.)3- the server must gets the data from user and update the aep files with new data from user4- server renders the data with aerender to make video outputs for user.and the AE must be installed on the server.Are these steps right? can i edit/update aep files with new data with EXTENDSCRIPT?I want to make something like renderforest.com website.another question is how can i make editale aep files? any approach or help or startpoint or anything will be great.thanks.

This is something I use constantly to navigate quickly around the stage to zoom in and out of specific areas so I am just super confused why, after all these years, that would be removed unless it was a mistake.

I want to paint a simple white stroke as the top most layer.That way, it doesn't matter the layers bellow. It could be a shape layer, a text, some footage. Anything would be coverd by that white paint stroke. I've found a way:I create a Solid Layer and place it as top layer. Then I double click on it to open its layer panel, select the Brush Tool and stroke away. Finally I just click the "Paint on trasparent" check box and voilá. That white stroke is over everything else.Only problem is: I can't be accurate. I'm not painting directly on the screen. I'm painting on a separate panel that doesn't show all the content bellow (all the layers bellow). So there is a especificaly spot I need to paint over but is hard to get there.I have to paint over there to see the results over here. There is got to be a smarter way of doing itIt's hard to be accurate when you're blind. I need to paint specifics spots of that of that W letter.

Im on windows. I saw this would you advise I dowloand it?https://autokroma.com/AfterCodecs/ Thanks in advance! 

Hi, dear community, I'm familiarizing myself (sloooowly) with various TRACKING methods in AE.(Yes, MOCHA is by far the most reliable tool, but still ...)After running 'TRACK CAMERA', when I- draw a shape layer onto an object (frame around a monitor)- and then toggle the layer as a '3D layer' --> it jumps to the right (see attached video). I have already tried centering the anchor point in the shape; to no avail.The footage / clip in the COMP is not scaled in any way.  Many, many thanks in advance & with my very best greetings from Switzerland,Sandro 

When I import my video into AE & drag it into my composition, for some reason background sounds eg music, other diegetic sounds are audible but the actual dialogue from the scene is somehow muted. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I was thinking it could be a compatibility issue / problem with AE compressing audio as maybe the file is too large. Any help appreciated

I’m currently working in a private company as a video editor, and one of our clients recently approached us with a project for their website https://newtoki.com.co/ since this is a webtoon platform, that edit involves long vertical panels with smooth scrolling and gradient backgrounds. The issue I’m facing is unusual: gradients that look perfectly fine in the After Effects preview show heavy banding and even flicker once exported. This happens in both H.264 and ProRes, and it’s especially noticeable in soft sky tones or dark-to-light transitions. I’ve tried higher bitrates, switching to 16/32-bit color, and even exporting image sequences, but the problem still appears. What makes it trickier is that not all panels are affected some render cleanly, while others with the same settings show the banding. Since webtoon edits rely heavily on large gradient areas, this artifact really breaks the flow and makes the final output look unpolished. Has anyone else run into this

hello everyone, I downloaded a template which has only 15 secs composition time. i already extened it to 36 seconds, as long as my video is but I cannot drag the layers to the right:  I found a way on youtube to hit a layer and press CTRL+ALT+T and then I can extend it but then all the animations are very slow or dont move after 15 secs, I saw that there are keyframes where i dragged the right one to the end but now the animation of the selected layer is veeeery slow...  how can i extend all the layers and keep the settings 😕😕 i just want to have the 15 secs video/composition to be 36 secs 😞 thanks a lot

Hi all,I'm having an incredibly frustrating issue within the AE 2025. I am trying to do a simple Audio React effect on some layers using an Audio Amplitude layer (created by Keyframe Assistant -> "Convert Audio to Keyframes" selection with the track I am using). Once I remove the Left and Right channel, and open the "Both Channels" slider that is generated, and the moment I interact with any of the slider keyframes or try to add an expression to adjust the threshhold, I get a stopwatch cursor that never goes away. I have to force quit After Effects every time. AE isn't even giving me a "Not Responding", I simply cannot click or type anything within the program. I've tried starting new files and doing the same task, and getting the same result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects, restarted my computer multiple times. No solve.  This is such a basic effect and is integral to my current project. It's crazy how it immediately makes the program useless the seco

Hi, I installed Adobe After Effects 2025 and also installed all the Cinema 4D related programs, but I still get the warning message that says "Cinema 4D 2025 must be installed in order to use the Cinema 4D renderer." How can I fix this issue?

After a few strokes using the Roto Brush tool, I get the 'AfterFX.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close' message. The clip I am trying to Rotoscope is ~12 seconds in duration, Quicktime (.MOV), and 3.6 GB. I think it was transcoded to ProRes 4444. I'm using the newest build (24.5) of After Effects, but I've experienced this with other builds. I've tried using the Roto Tool in Safe Mode with the same resultI've restarted Windows 11 with the same resultI've tried using Roto version 2.0 with the same result My rig is Windows 11, Intel Core i9-11900 2.5GHz, 64GB DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB.Here's the crash log analysis (also attached), which is Greek to me: ************* Preparing the environment for Debugger Extensions Gallery repositories ************** ExtensionRepository : Implicit UseExperimentalFeatureForNugetShare : true AllowNugetExeUpdate : true NonInteractiveNuget : true AllowNugetMSCredentialProviderInstall : true

Bonjour,Lorsque je fais un "rassembler les fichiers" d'un projet. Le projet en question se ferme...et se réouvre au même endroit.Y aurait-il moyen de faire en sorte que ce soit le projet rassemblé (dossier de destination) qui s'ouvre et non le même projet (dossier d'origine) ?Merci d'avance!

I feel like something changed - in the past, if Layer A had 2 keyframes scaling from 100% down to 0 , then I added Layer B (which is defaulted at 100% scale), placed the playhead AFTER the scaling keyframes (so Layer A is gone, scaled to 0) then I parented B to A, the result would be that B would scale in tandem with A, but since the playhead was positioned after the scaling, if I went back to the first keyfram position Layer B would now start at 200% and scale down to 100 by looking at the keyframes on Layer A. This is no longer working. As soon as I parent Layer B to A, it's immediately absorbing the keyframe info and B disappears. This parenting used to depend on where the playhead was, which I found very useful.  Am I missing something? I feel like this is a new issue for me. As soon as I parent anything to a layer with existing keyframes, it's taking on the current properties regardless of playhead position

Can anyone fix this problem? Why are my colors for the layers all of the sudden dull? The red box is red but darker and the orange is orange but like a dirty brown. What the heck. I got an message about GPU and my memoery so it may have something to do with that. 

Hello,As of today, I have not been able to open AE cc 2022. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and the problem still occurs. I even uninstalled my 3/9/22 Windows update to see if that would fix the problem. No luck. I have the full Adobe Package and all other apps open fine. I even tried opening AE 2022 on my laptop running Win 10 and it works fine. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas? See the error popup below. Thanks - troy 

Hi, I've been trying to make this textbox responsive but I'm stuck. I am very new to mogrts, the essential graphic panel and expressions.- The text box needs to have the exact same padding for each font size- You need to be able to change the text even if one line of text becomes 2 (and the textbox needs to expand to that new text)- When a new line of text is added the textbox need to go up, because the complete text needs to stay in the bottom left corner- Needs to be outlined to the left. (box and text) I followed a bunch of tutorials on youtube, but none of them really help me with this exact problem so please help me 

What technique is this? PLEASE HELP! Hey guys, we have this film festival coming up and I'm really trying to figure out how these guys did this editing, if anybody could give me any leads, I would appreciate it so much!The effect is sort of like a dragon, Ball Z/bullet time effect. Video Dragon ball Z sequence concept: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOmEr5TEQIu/?igsh=aGR5OXd0ejl3amEx Here's another example https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNY5dGLxp49/?igsh=MTVldXU2cnZiemg4OQ==  did the actors pretty much do the fight sequence and then they slow down, as the camera moves? are the guys jumping up and flying in the air sort of like a rotoscoping and then key framing?  I'm fairly familiar with Premier, and slightly less so with after effects, but usually I stick to simpler effects. thank you in advance for all of your help guys!
