After Effects

Unable to search or input values on layer properties within the current build of After Effects. Every time I try to select an input text bar (i.e. search bars, input value boxes, etc.) it immediately cancels out, not allowing to type. Search bars and input text bars work when panels are un-docked but within the workspace. I've tried:RestartingReseting PreferencesRe-installing After EffectsReseting WorkspacesUn-installing pluginsUnfortunately the problem still presists, has anyone found a fix for this?

After effects warning: Rendering Unexpected error on my PC with i9/5080 GPU?

Hi! I am using the plug in SF Caddy to do a lip syncing animation, it all looks great on the timeline, but when I go to render it, the exported video is off. Off in a way where the last mouth shape on the timeline doesn't show up. What could I have done to cause this? Thank you for your help!!

guys i need urgent help like right now....i tried everything...its stuck like this, funny how i can make it into two views and 3 etc...but not one...please help me :(((

issue with aftereffects UI displaying on a pc, 2024 works fine, installed 2025 and this is ewhat i see, the preview screen works fine, the rest of the UI is doing this, if you randomly click in the screen you can see that everything is there you just cant see it.   

Coming back to a project after a few months to make some tweaks before re-rendering I was greeted with the "analysis solve failed" error. However, my issue is not with a 3D camera but with a track point. That has already been tracked and keyframed. And shows all the correct points when I look at it, I would prefer to not have to run the tracker again and have to make all the small corrections I did previously.So it's already been tracked and keyframed, any idea why I am getting this now when nothing has changed since I last worked on this? I've updated to the latest, restarted, and tried to re-analyze but it's not coming out smoothly and would require me to redo all the existing tracking work. Is there an easy solution I'm just missing?

Hola, cada vez que guardo mi proyecto me sale esta advertencia que es bastante molesta, no sucede con el auto guardado, sólo cuando le dos a Ctrl+S. ¿Alguien tiene la solución para que no siga apareciendo? 

In after effects exists an effect called Scale wipe.Which scales one half of a frame around an anchorpointMy problem is, that i now need to do this just on the edge of a subject.Basically a per pixel Scale wipe. So each pixel gets scaled around its own anchorpoint.And if that wasn't hard enough i also need this to work on a moving subject.In my mind i would take a rotoscoped subject. Tell AE to go 10 pixels or so inwards/to the left from that mask and then do a per pixel scale warp from there.Im currently doing this mockup in PS by not doing this per pixel but taking 20-40 pixel blocks. The same principle works in AE, but for a moving subject the manual labor of animating 10-20 masks + their anchorpoint for a 1min video is just insane.Any ideas if this is even achievable in AE. Is this doable with scripting ?Is there another program that can do this ?

Hello, my current computer doesn't run the new version of After Effects. I'm using the Monterey version of Mac OS. I need the older version of After Effects. How can I download it or where can I find it?

I am making a handwritten text effect and I am having issues with my mask. The issue comes when I right click on the text layer and chose "create masks for texts". The text then becomes white instead of black that I made it to begin with. It then stays white when I go through the correct steps for animating it. How do I solve this? 

Hi community! I encounter an unpleasant thing when I open any project in Adobe affects, the window with After Effects pop up on my screen, I usually switch to another window (manage something else) until the porject is loading, but After Effects pop-up uncalled and this is unpleasant, how do i disable this pop-up ? 

I cannot activate any numeric fields by clicking on them (Position, Rotate, Opacity, Scale, etc.), to type in numbers — only scrubbing changes the numbers. This issue happens in all projects, in new comps, and even in a fresh user account on macOS.Prefs reset, workspace reset, Safe Mode (no plugins), and rolling back AE don’t fix the problem. Both trackpad and external mouse are affected.System Info:macOS: Sonoma 14.6.1After Effects: 25.6 (tested with older 25.2 also)Keyboard Input: English (“A” in menu bar) Steps to Reproduce:Open AE, create or open a comp.Try clicking a numeric field (e.g. Position, Scale, Rotation, etc.) for any object.The field does not activate for typing.Try resetting prefs / workspace / switching users — issue persists.Impact:Makes precise numeric input impossible; critical for motion design work. Request:Please investigate this as a potential bug in AE 25.6’s UI interaction with macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 — it needs a fix in a future update.

@Adobe. Do you guys have a basic suggested workflow yet for Log N-Raw (.NEV) clips in After Effects? Would love to be able to do VFX work from the base footage rather than round-tripping through other apps. Can anyone suggested the 32-bit OCIO color management set-up for .NEV log into ACES workflow for After Effects? Do you have any resources on implementing the correct .NEV transforms for that standard ACES VFX workflow?Thanks

When using After Effects I'm unable to use dropdown menus to change things like quality, size of my composition on screen, and other dropdown menus I have from scripts. The dropdowns are still there but when I click on them nothing happens. I do have third-party plugins/panels installed and I am on Windows 11 24H2 with a Ryzen 5 5600, RX 6600, and 24gb of RAM.

Ive been using the "convert to a AE comp" in premier for along time with no issues, however suddenly(perhaps an update?) when I use this it will open AE and create a comp however the timeline will be empty, where it used to put the media into the comp.

This is a new bug that showed up after my software did an auto update (After Effect 25.6) over the weekend. Now, when I "Replace with After Effects Composition" in Premiere and go to the new comp in AE, any editing I try to perform on the new comp (add text, create mask, etc.) causes a jump to a previous comp that is open on the timeline. If I go back to the new comp that was just created I can't edit the new comp (Jumps to previous comp) without closing AE and reopning. This happens every time I "Replace with After Effects Composition" in Premiere. After Effect 25.6Premiere 25.5MacOS 15.6.12019 Mac Pro

Meu After e meu Photoshop estão com esse bug, ao clicar com o mouse em algumas áreas, simplesmente não abre e fica bugando o clique. O bug acontece apenas nos aplicativos, no computador, navegador e outros problemas não acontece, estão normais. Tenho todos os drivers atualizados, tudo atualizado.

Hi everyone!How can I remove the halo that appears around the subtitles? The glow effect is applied, but it looks like this when I export. It's not as noticeable in the preview, but it's there when I export. Is there a way to fix it?Thank you so much for your help.  I've attached a screenshot of the issue.

I am animating a graph so the lines travel accross the screen at the same time. They need to go at the same point accross the screen even though they are different lengths in total. I have attached an example of where I'm up to - I have the pink and green dots separate to the lines and I'm using a combination of trim paths, linear wipe and time stretch to acheive this. It is proving quite fiddly and time consuming! Does anyone have a suggestion of how I could do this more easily? Would appreciate any help, thank you.https://vimeo.com/1137417192/6f6ba08e3b?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

So I'm still fairly new to this whole after effects thing and I wanted to put an audio spectrum in my videos, but I don't like how jumpy and how too reactive it is. I want it to be similar like this : Video. I already tried messing around with the settings a bunch of times (like the audio duration and offset and the height and etc.) and searching online and past reddit posts but nothing can seem to quite get it just right.Any help is greatly appreciated!
