After Effects

When I precompose a text layer,I found that although the outPoint time displayed in the precomp seems correct,the actual outPoint  time obtained is incorrect,resulting in issues with the outPoint expression,requiring a readjustment of the outPoint to be correct.After Effects 2024 24.3

this happens with all my keyframes. when i easy ease them and then try, as soon as i move it the handle just snaps right back to where it was. i literally can not use the value graphs at all! video: example of my issuescreenshot: how it affects my speed graph

Generative fill extreemly slow. Like taking upwards of 5 minutes to generate 1 frame. 1 was 4kslog3 footage the other was 4k hlg footage from two different devices so format isnt the problem. I normally shoot/edit 4k footage and thats buttery smooth I have no problems. What seems to be the issue?

After converting the .r3d material using the OCIO display conversion effect in the OCIO environment, I could not restore it even if I applied the same inverse conversion effect. The dark parts are a little different. This symptom has been confirmed in 2024 and 2023. Am I doing it wrong?MacOS 13.6.6

I wasn't sure where to post this as this is just happening generally across most Adobe software, it's particularly bad in After Effects though. Every time I go to name a file it won't let me, it keeps highlighting a word and kind of greying it out (not sure how else to explain this), to the point where I can't click in the search bar to rename the file at all. It feels like there's a lot of bugs with Adobe right now along with the dynamic linking also not working. These things are really slowing down my work process, making me late for deadlines and making me reconsider paying so much for this software. I appreciate that many have told me the dynamic linking bug is being sorted out but it's been going on for such a long time now and the work arounds become so complex. 

I need color science help! On the right, you see the AE preview. On the left is the rendered video. I am working with a linear ".exr" sequence in Agx transform from Blender. Conversion in AE happens with the OpenColorIO plugin. The problem is that the final video rendered from AE has ugly bright shadows, which is different from the AE preview. I want it to look like what I see in AE. Final render happens through Adobe Media Encoder to ".mp4 " Maybe it doesn't even relate to the Agx conversion, because when I input a regular .jpg with normal color transform, and I disable the OCIO conversion effects, the output also has the brighter shadows

Rotobrush worked fine until recently, and then it is not clear why it started to close after effect without any error, it ran in safe mode and without plug-ins, without result 

AfterEffects 2023（23.6.2） と2024（24.2.1）でREDの素材を使うとフリッカーが出ます。しかし、PremiereProやDavinci で確認してもフリッカーは確認できませんでした。AfterEffectsでしか出ない症状でした。MacOS 13.6.6

I can just say that you guys suck. I am ALWAYS losing hours finding a solution to get around bugs. And people pay for this crap I can just yelling at you since this stuff is always graphic driver related.

Dear Adobe Team,I hope this message finds you well.I am writing to highlight a critical issue we've encountered regarding the compatibility of certain Adobe Creative Suite applications with the macOS File Provider API, particularly but possibly not exclusively limited to when integrated with Google Drive. Following thorough investigation, we have identified a significant obstacle that we want to bring to your attention. The issue stems from the continuous background scanning and indexing operations initiated by these applications upon access to Google Drive, resulting in the hydration of file provider stub files. Specifically, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, and Media Encoder are experiencing notable performance and functionality issues when accessing files stored on Google Drive via the new macOS File Provider API. This activity not only disrupts our deployment workflow but also poses a significant hindrance to regular Google Drive operations.Despite our internal efforts to

Link is broken for mxf files pre-imported to the project.An error message occurs when importing a new mxf file, saying it is not supported.This is a recurring error; it already happened with the update to version 23.2.The same file will be read normally AfterEffect 24.2, the previous version update of AfterEffect.All Users in my company are experiencing the same issue.

Whenever I open a project with the Keylight effect it appears a sign warning that the effect is missed-.Can i install it manually? i didnt find it.Help! 

I'm using a Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 128GB RAM, and working on After Effects has become extremely challenging. The preview bar consistently freezes, rendering only a portion of the animation, and loops without completing the preview rendering process. Tasks that should be completed in a day are now taking longer. I've already taken steps like cleaning the cache and managing memory, but I'm unsure of what else to try. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.

hi after effect is using too much ram for no reason and I can only playback about 2 seconds.here is the process:1-impoted one 4k video2-tracked in mocha ae3- duplicate layer and mask one3- applied a stroke to the track data I used two versions:23.6.2beta 24.2 Im using macbook pro m3 pro 18 gigs of ram. tried using proxies and the other methods, they doesn't work, so I'm using my windows laptop core i5, 24 gigs ram 3050 to rxt I don't have any ram issues it works but it is just slower. it esspecialy happens when i apply a stroke to masked track data and keframe the stroke     

Hi I am currently having a problem where After Effects ruins all audio that is imported in MP4'sWhen a MP4 is imported is shows the correct wave form in the project manager however whenever I bring it into a composition it ruins the output and the only thing I can hear is pure static and distortionIf i try to import a MP3 File the entire program  crashes or I get this error 

First of all, I've seen this issue from at least 2024.1 to 2024.3 on macOS Ventura 13.6, but I'd suspect that it's probably been present on both OSes for quite a while due to the nature of it. So, there's an odd, but very specific glitch I've run across a couple of times now. I've just figured out a fix, I think, but here's how to repeat. 1. In a precomp, set up a text layer and drag its source text to the comp's Essential Graphics.2. Duplicate that text layer. Add a text animator. I'm using opacity to reveal my text.3. Add any of the range controls from the text animator to the Essential Graphics panel.4. Put that precomp into another comp and animate the range Essential Property.5. Instead of animating smoothly, the text pops on from an arbitrary selection (i.e. not from the first character if you animate from 0-100%) and the selection glitches back and forth rapidly. What seems to be happening is that, instead of treating the source text of that layer as its own thing

I've been building a comp in AE with two .glb models in it using the Advanced 3D renderer...  Imported the comp into a Premiere Pro seequence and nothing would show up in the program monitor, just a black screen.  Tried using "render and replace" and it has been stuck at the "analyzing project" for 10 minutes or so.  I am guessing this functionality isn't supported yet? Guess I will avoid dynamic link entirely and just render out of AE...  I am on a 16-inch 2021 M1 MBP. 

Heyo, so the issue I have that keeps popping up is each time I go to make a new project in After Effects an image keeps popping up as the background no matter how many times I try to change the color of the background. It wouldn't be an issue, if it didn't also show up in rendering. Making me have to add a black or colored shape to hide it. I have closed the project quite a few times, but it still persists.I wanted to know if anyone else has encountered this weird bug, and how they got past it? Or if I have to uninstall and reinstall after effects.Any imput is welcome, thank you!Here is what a new comp looks like when I load one in. 

It's desperating that everytime I update After effects I lose all my setting: workspaces shortcuts, grid & label colors,... It's been years with the same problem and yet it goes on with this bug. Please, stop deleting existing settings! Or at least give us a chance to keep them! I lose one morning of work with every update trying to leave the app with the adjustements I feel comfortable with.

The lumetri color effect seems to be destroyed after updating from 24.2.1 to 24.3. on my MacBook Pro M1 Max (Sonoma 14.3.1). All colors of an actual project are washed out now without changing any settings so I have to switch back to 24.2.1. 

Hello all,I have the same darn problem everytime I have to update After Effects: it wont start/ it freezes. Later on there wil be a patch/update and than the issue is resolved. However, i experiance this every single time and this means I usually can't work with After Effets for about a week. And I am tired of this.  I would apreciate any help i can get. These are the steps to recreate my problem: 1. Just try and start it......2. It wont go past loading screen 3. if it does and I try safe mode or another option it just freezes This is what I try to fix the problem:1. Empty cache folder2. Re-install 3. Install older version 4. Instal new gpu drivers5. Update gpu drivers6. Complete unistall of adobe 7. re-install of adobe8. Ofcoarse restarting the pc   

Hello, I've been using after effects for years, the 2023 update made text editing and rendering really really slow. I sometimes have to wait more than 20 seconds to see two poor words appear. (with a standard comp 1920*1080 25fps) It is impossible for me to work in these conditions. I did the same test on after effects 2022 and I have no problem, text editing is smooth and rendering is fast. So it's not related to my computer. Please fix this. 

Though I love the idea of having a template load up when I create a new project (Preferences > New Project), its current implementation makes it kind of unusable.  The issue is that whenever I load up AE, it also loads up the New Project template and 99% of the time, I don't want to start a new project, I want to pick up where I left off on my current working project. All it's doing is slowing down AE's load time and forcing me to close out a project I never wanted in the first place. If I turn on the Home Screen option (Preferences > Startup Options > Enable Home Screen), that overrides the New Project setting but I don't want that either as it's just another screen that I never wanted in the first place to close out of. So the current workaround is to just turn it off altogether as it's that annoying. So I've basically been annoyed out of using a function that would otherwise be quite useful. The ideal functionality would be to load the New Project templa

i get these errors, someone know how to fix. My specs are 2080 super, i7, and 32 gb ram if that help  

My client gave me a video .mov to add in a After Effect comp. There is a logo integrated in the video. When I open the video in QuickTime or photoshop, everithing looks fine. Whene I import the video in After Effect or Première Pro, the logo is super pixellated but only the logo. The rest of the image is clean. Any Idea ?Thanks !
