After Effects

The percentage counter i have built using this expression effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(0)+"%"is malfunctioning. As it spools up it keeps switching between whole numbers and percentages within the ket frames

I maximize the composition panel to see my work on fullscreen. I change to the pen tool to draw, composition panel minimizes.I notice it also happens when panning holding the middle mouse button.

Hi I'm using windows 10 w/4090 in AE and i have a 3 monitor setup, main monitor, color calibrated Eizo coloredge and a TV mirroring the eizo. My typically setup is to have both the eizo and tv set to mercury transmit preview.Testing out aces workflow and... it does not let you set the preview output to the same color space as your comp workspace, so the colors look completely wrong. This seems is a pretty major oversight. Are there plans to fix this?  Thanks in advanceRuairi Robinson

I have 2 Animate files that I'm importing into AE. Both files are saved in seperate folders, everything is named correctly and all assets are placed in their correct folders. File A from Animate imports into AE correctly; it makes .swf files, everything animates as it should, it works fine. After Effects refuses to import File B right. Every asset gives a 'File cannot be opened, it may be in an unsupported format (86: 1 )' even though it's in the same format as File A. Dragging the files in directly gives me the same 'File can't be opened' message. It's not an issue of neither works, it's more one does, the other doesn't despite them being nearly identical.  I've renamed the file, moved the folder, resaved the Animate file, restarted my computer, restarted After Effects, I can't figure it out. Other files open, but this one won't. I'm using After Effects 2023 and Animate 2023 on a Macbook Pro, Big Sur 11.7.10.  

(See attached video.) When I copy a layer with relative property links, then paste to create a new layer with those property links, then duplicate the comp, the duplicate layer does not update. Steps to encounter the bug:Create a layer.Copy with relative property links.Paste to create a new layer with relative property links.Duplicate comp.Change a property of the original layer in the new comp (position, in this case). The position of the duplicate layer does not update; it remains frozen in place It should instead "follow" the original layer. Curiously, the position property in the layer stack does show that the property is updating properly; it is merely not updating visually. I have several third-party plug-ins installed; ask if you need specifics. I am running After Effects 24.5.0 (Build 52) for macOS Sonoma 14.6 on a 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max chip and 64 GB of memory.

I have been noticing premiere projects and after effects projects vanishing .  I recently was able to reproduce this because fortunately, we have a backup system in place and was able to recover the deleted project, and reproduce it. I have a dynamically linked after effects project with som fottage that became unlinked.   I choose "edit original" from premiere and relinkd the footage that was unlinked. When I went into premiere it said the after effects project (that was just there) was offline. When I looked in the folder that the ae project was in, it was emptyhttps://youtu.be/a4DBbu6js4c

Trying to align animation to audio, I hit play and NOTHING moves. Audio plays and video plays but I need to guess where on the wave form it coudl be at to cut my animation to. I do not even get the red cached timeline indicator. There are NO updates as I am fully updated. I use Mister Horse plugin.AMD 5900X64GB RAM3TB NVMe RAMNvidia 4080 Super Nothing heavy going on and no Mister Horse plugin being used but it is installed.

I recently reinstalled all the MacOS Monterey (12.7.6) into my Mac Pro 6,1 (Intel Xeon E5 3,5GHz) and reinstalled all the Adobe Creative Cloud apps. The 2024 apps like Photoshop or Illustrator works with any issue. But the 2023 apps like Premiere, Media Encoder or After Effects (in his last working version for my mac) crashed when I try to open it. It's a very strange bug, because they fail in the launch, that's meaning the app crash before the window of the app appears. I clicked in the app icon, the app is jumping in the deck and a few seconds after apperars a crash inform with any information about the crash.Before the reinstalled of the OS system all the apps was working perfectly. Any Help? 

Hi I'm using After Effects version 24.5 and since I downloaded a font I now can't use any text in AE without it crashing. I've deleted that font, reset the fonts panel, deleted my cache, reinstalled AE and its still happening. I'm using a 3xs PC. 

 Steps to Reproduce the Bug: Create a composition and add a single layer.Add a Dropdown Menu Control effect to the layer and then rename it.With the 'Menu' sub property of the Dropdown Menu Control effect selected, run a script to update the menu item names using setPropertyParameters.var dropdownMenuProperty = app.project.activeItem.selectedProperties[1]; var updateNames = ["New Item 1", "New Item 2"]; dropdownMenuProperty.setPropertyParameters(updateNames);What should have happened?The script should update the menu items without altering the parent effect's name.  The variable dropdownMenuProperty should still reference the menu property. What actually happens?Although the menu item names are updated successfully, the Dropdown Menu Control's name is reset to 'Dropdown Menu Control' and the variable referencing the menu sub property is now undefined. A varient of the following error is also thrown:Exception has occurred: 1 After Effects error: internal verific

I don't know if everyone is having this problem, but After Effects is absolutely impossible to work. I'm working using simple shapes, a gradient layer and a text layer. And After Effects is just slow with something so simple like that. Inside the program, the mouse movement gets really laggy, it takes forever to render. And I'm not using external files, I'm not using adjustment layers and I'm not using any Motion Blur. I'm feeling After Effects is getting worse and worse on each version Adobe release. And there's no way the problem is my computer, since I'm using a Mac Studio with M1 Max, 64Gb RAM and 4T storage. I can't find a resonable explanation for all this lag on every project. Honestly, I'm starting to think about migrating to another software, since Adobe seems to just ignore all the After Effects problems.

Hey so I want to check out the Help docs from time to time but keep getting this error pop-up "The help system was not initialized." No matter what I choose from the help tab menu. Tried re-installing vanilla, didnt help. What do I do?

最近，同时打开 After Effects 2023 和 3ds max 时会出现错误。当我创建一个新项目时，创建的实体层不会显示。在合成窗口中，仅显示所选材料的转换点，颜色与软件界面的颜色相同。单击时间滑块时，窗口会闪烁黑色，并且在释放鼠标时会恢复为软件颜色。当我先打开 After Effects 2023 一切正常，然后打开 3dsmax 时，After Effects 2023 中打开的项目的合成面板会卡住，无法播放，无法滑动播放，没有声音，有时屏幕会变黑。除非我关闭了 3dsmax 软件并重新打开 After Effects，有时甚至需要重新启动我的电脑。 我尝试了以下步骤：更新显卡驱动程序并更改为旧版本驱动程序，在项目设置中更改为Mercury，禁用硬件加速，清除所有缓存，禁用所有效果插件，禁用脚本编写和访问网络，但这些都没有奏效。 我看到其他人在其他论坛上遇到同样的问题，但没有解决方案。 窗户11 处理器： 13900k 内存：96G 显卡：3060Ti，当前驱动为551.61Win11的中央处理器：13900K内存：96G显卡：3060Ti，目前驱动在551.61   

See image below. Issue: Save new project in folder A. Save another new project in folder B. Go to use Open Recent of project in A. Make changes and Ctrl-Shift S to save under ammended name, and it save not where the file resides but where I last saved a file in folder B. This is nonsense! If I use Open Recent, then when saving WE SHOULD ALREADY BE IN THAT FOLDER WHERE OPEN RECENT FOUND IT!!. I lost work because of this BS. I made changes to a file Open Recent, Saved As a new file but didn't realize it went into a totally different folder of a project I worked on recently. That project was finished, packaged and archived, with the work folder deleted. SAME FOLDER THAT AE SAVED AS TO, and I didn't realize. It also save a back-up file in that other folder. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! In the screengrab above you can see what I mean.

During the last two weeks, my After Effects has been completely unworkable. It’s constantly crashing in almost all my projects, whether it’s a newly created project or one I’ve worked on long ago.The crashes appear very randomly. It can occur when I’m moving an object in a 3D scene, or it can just crash when I’m watching a previewed scene. Sometimes it shows a crash log, sometimes it just goes dead, and I’m not even able to close it with Task Manager. My PC specs: Windows 10Intel i9-14900kRX 3090DDR5 128GBMotherboard: Asrock B760M Steel Legend WiFi3 M2 SSDs, 1TB each I’ve reinstalled Windows multiple times. Tried using legacy versions of the program such as AE 2019 and 2022. No overclocking, tried to undervolt even. No result.I also tried every single solution I found on the internet. Nothing helps.I desperately need help with this issue…Thanks to everyone in advance.  

Simplesmente não consigo mais usar o Track Camera, a função só fica "analisando" e depois da erro, diz que "o tempo de conexão com o servidor do dynamiclink expirou". Já tentei de tudo, até formatei o Macbook Pro M3 Pro. Fiz Downgrade do After e nada resolve.

After Effects > juni 2024 update | Camera Raw import color issues   Hello, ever since the june update I've got a big color difference between Camera Raw and the timeline. It looks like a wrong profile, but whatever I do in the color settings (project) or RAW settings the problems stays. I've never had such a color/contrast shift before, this different than the regular profile problems. Photoshop does not have this problem and both my Mac Mini and Macbook pro 2017 have this problem. It becomes dark and purple in AE, it seems to have happened after the update on both macs. Is this a software issue? It have tried all available color settings in After Effects and the RAW preview looks fine.   Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 After Effects 24.5 Mac Mini M2 16gb   Actions; Import Camera Raw file (Canon 100d) - works fine on all other software Raw importer shows correct color, timeline doesn't (see pictures)   Thanks, Jurriaan      Title edited by Mod.

This is driving me crazy. I've been working on this project a lot and since yesterday there are A LOT of instances where some particular keyframes can't be draged. Only sellected, Can't even right click them, but others on the same properties can be grabed no problem. I tried zooming in and out, restarting the software, updating.... the issue persists

I've encountered a bug related to importing 3D files (GLTF and OBJ formats) into After Effects projects. Here's a detailed explanation of the issue:1. When importing 3D files (GLTF or OBJ), After Effects automatically creates a "Textures" folder.2. If the user renames this "Textures" folder, a problem occurs upon reopening the project.3. After reopening the project, After Effects deletes all the texture files from the renamed folder.4. The 3D objects in the project still retain their textures visually.5. However, when using the "Collect Files" function, the texture files are not included in the collection.Steps to reproduce:1. Create a new After Effects project.2. Import a 3D file (GLTF or OBJ format) with textures.3. Locate the automatically created "Textures" folder.4. Rename the "Textures" folder to something else (e.g., "Textures A").5. Save and close the project.6. Reopen the project.7. Check the renamed folder - texture files should be missing.8. Attempt to use "Collect Files" fu

Timeline Context - Time Bar at top of Timeline auto-resets. WHY???It seems to reset after a render and/or switching between AE and other apps. Each day, I have to reset it for every come about 100 times; once for every comp in an AEP and for each time AE does this, all comps are affected. It's insane or at least it's driving me up the wall, ceiling, down and then back up again. I'm hopeful this is an easy fix.

Facing a oftenly happening issue here with the 3D camera. Whenever I try to change Camera type (Classic 3d > Advanced 3d for example) it either shuts down itself, or forces me to make a save file before it changes camera and closes the software or both. This happens when I turn a layer into 3D or change render options of a 3D layer. Once this happens, the last version of project file becomes unavailable to being used because that same error pops up every time i open it. This happens when I set a 3d camera layer (regardless of the preset or camera type) and turn a layer into a 3D. I actually need to solve this ASAP   

Seriously adobe: What we can do? I´m unable to work. This is serious.Crash evry 10 inutos (ram, memory, you already know what we are taking). You are about to make us really looking for an alternative. this is nuts.
