After Effects

PrPro has  colum in the media panel list which shows how many times the clip is used in the project. In Ae i can only see that option for one clip at a time that too by scrolling to the top and seeing the poperties thumbnail which shows used x times in project. Is there a feature to tell for the entire list which ones are used and which ones arent at a glance ?Thank You

i need help plzwhy suddenly my after effects shapes become pixelated not vector when i draw any shape or import any doc its pixelated like when you create a circle in photoshop till yesterday it works well idk how to fix itcheck the attachment file while i zoomed a vector circle

I’ve just switched from AE2025 to AE2026 but I have a problem with Aces colors interpretation.I have a tiff sequence RGB+A (premultiplied alpha) with sRGB color space. The Project is set as follows in both AE25 and AE26 (AcesCCT):  The footage’s colors are interpreted as follows:This is my workflow and I’ve never had problems with colors until I’ve worked with AE25.In AE2026, when using AcesCCT I see washed-out colors; with AcesCC, the colors are ok. This is the only difference between the settings:Same machine, same footage, same color settings, different version of AE = different colors. Any ideas?I’ve searched in AE Preferences but they look very similar and they seem to have same settings.

I'm running into a consistent crash in the latest version of After Effects whenever a composition requires the Advanced 3D renderer. The app immediately throws an error stating:"After Effects can't continue: Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception."I am forced to switch back to Classic 3D, but I really need to use the Advanced 3D features. I've already installed Cinema 4D, but the issue persists.Here are my system and driver specs: GPU: NVIDIA T1200 Laptop GPU (4 GB VRAM) Driver Version: Release 595 (Conservative / Production-tested branch) Application: After Effects (Latest CC Version) I have tried many versions including 26&25

Hi allI use CC (AE 26.3.0) and previously, when i have rendered a file, then at a later time updated that composition, and re-rendered it, it use to ask me if i wanted to over-write (which I do) then over-wrote the original file, thus keeping the name right, and Prem Pro happy when looking for that graphic (normally a Mov file with a transparent background - ie lower thirds). For context I film and edit football matches, so will do graphics initially, then alter them with changes to times etc).Recently it has started to not over-write, but add in a ‘_1’ to the name, which means prem pro will need to be altered to find the new file, or me deleting the file, and renaming the new one. Both more work than I previously had to do.My render output is ‘[projectFolder]\graphics\[compName].[fileextension]’ (saved as a default called project folder).  Each project (match) has its own dedicated folder, with its own AE file within that folder. So when i render a graphic it will automatically create

This is an old problem I have, and after a long time using this software, I do not see a way to solve this.1. You create a Text Box.2. You write your text.3. Press ESC as a fast way to get out of editing mode.Boom! you've lost your text.Is there any way to fix this or an alternative mode? 

Hi, I have a 15 mintues long comp. I have to animate a character. but its soul touturing to copy paste all the marker manually. is there any way? or tricks I can follow?I want to copy paste the comp markers with the note after every 20 frames 

Is there a way to repair this? Because every time I try to preview my footage the video shown is completely black. Is there an option to tick or something? This problem started after doing some 3D edits.

EnvironmentProduct: Adobe After Effects 2025 Version: 25.6.6.4 OS: Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Project type: Text-heavy template with many Source Text expressions referencing other text layers across compositions.SummaryAfter Effects consistently crashes while evaluating Source Text expressions. The crash only occurs when Source Text expressions are enabled. Disabling the expressions makes the project stable.The crashes occur in two different modules:libdynamic-napi.dll TXT.dllBoth crash dumps indicate that the failure happens during TextDocument evaluation initiated by expression evaluation.Steps to ReproduceOpen the project. Enable Source Text expressions. Preview the composition or modify/enable/disable a Source Text expression. After Effects crashes.The crash is especially reproducible when repeatedly enabling/disabling Source Text expressions.Expected ResultThe Source Text expressions should be evaluated normally without crashin

I am trying to install plugins in AE but they crash. The plugin company (red giant) says its because adobe apps are not registering in the MacOS system in the System Information app under applications. I keep running deep clean to erase all adobe things from my system and reinstall the apps. Still won’t register. What to do? AI is no help on this one.

IssueAfter Effects 26.3 repeatedly crashes during normal editing.The crashes are not limited to one project or one specific plugin.I have experienced crashes while using:• BMF Map Ramp• Linear Color Key• Gradient Overlay• Cinema 4D RendererThe crashes also occur during unrelated editing operations.Because the issue occurs across multiple unrelated plugins and features, it does not appear to be caused by one specific third-party plugin.--------------------------------------------------Internal ErrorSometimes After Effects displays the following message before closing:<RenderTaskManager> <1> Destructor:GetOriginalProject() is nullImmediately afterwards After Effects reports:After Effects has crashed (0,42)--------------------------------------------------Other Crash BehaviourIn many cases After Effects closes instantly without showing any Adobe crash dialog.Windows Event Viewer reports:Application:AfterFX.exeException Code:0xC0000005Sometimes Windows crash dumps are generated

Hi, I animate motion graphics in AE, based on imported Illustrator files. I’m trying to figure out why some of my comps are rendering with very low CPU usage while others peak to 90%. What is strange it looks like more complex comps are rendered super slow (5% CPU usage) while others that has much less layers and effects can use much more. But still even through those lite comps the CPU can jump from 5% to 90% for no reason - meaning nothing really changes in the comp exept some layer movements… how can it be?I render into PNG sequences inside AE.Sometimes I use BG Renderer MAX that forces AE to use as much CPU as possible, but this plugin often crashes or misses some PNG files so I’d rather use built in AE renderer. But it is inconceivable to me that 3rd party plugin can make use of the whole CPU, while native AE can’t :/

For many videos now I have had a black frame problem in After Effects. Random black frames appearing in the preview window and export. As well as random frames from a different part of the video, although that is less frequent.It seems like it would be a frame rate problem, but it still happens when frame rates are all matched. As I edit in Premiere and then export, which is then brought into After Effects. I also bring in separate videos in the an After Effects comp for B roll that will have the black frame problem, and the frame rate of those videos is not something I have control over. That is unless I exported a copy of the video from Premiere and changed the frame rate settings before export. This would be tedious to do, and there is no guarantee it would work.But if this problem does not happen in Premiere it seems like it is a problem that can be fixed in After Effects. Regardless it seems like something that should be possible to fix.Can Adobe fix this problem for future update

Hi,Just upgraded to 25.2.2 and I am having a strange issue with adding layers its like it randomly clips or switches color space from one frame to the next. Only started happening after upgrading AE and NVIDIA.The screenshots are from the same project just different frames, as you will see it also affects the scopes. Only effect used is 'Fast Box Blur'Switching to 'Software Only' fixes the issue

I've been working in each of the ACES OCIO configurations for about a year now, but there are a number of go to effects I usually need to use which unfortunately completely clip the highlights making them unuseable. Most of the effects I've seen with this issue so far are distortion effects but also some noise/grain effects too.On a current project I really need to warp areas of the plate but mesh warp, liquify and others cause this highlight clipping issue so there are no other effects I can go to for what I need. How can I resolve this or can Adobe please fix?This is before one of the effects is appliedand this is afterThis project is ACES 1.3 Studio v1.0 32 bit, but the issue happens in the other configurations too.

Bonjour, je suis encore au lycée, je ne gagne pas grand chose par mois. Mon abonnement prend les 3/4 de mon argent donc je ne peux plus faire grand chose. Ma question est si je peux supprimer mon abonnement que j'ai pris pour un ans sans faire exprès ou si ce n' est pas possible ?
