when i try opening after effects it doesn't open. a window opens saying unknown exception. then another one opens and this one says something about the permissions. but i checked the permissions and it says "read & write" which should be fine. What is the problem?   

Bonjour !Je suis entrain de faire un motion design sur after effects et je rencontre un problème avec les calques d'effets. J'ai avancé sur mon projet, et je voudrais juste ajouter un flou gaussien au début..Mais dès que je met le calque sur la timeline (sans effet) les calques qui se trouvent en dessous disparaisent avant la fin de leur mouvement (vidéo à l'appuie) Est-ce que vous auriez une solutions, j'ai essayé de relier le calque à un objet nul, de le mettre en 3D. Rien ne change et je ne peux pas précomposer sans que ça détruisse tous mon travail.

I'm running AE 25.6.4, with copyright 2026, so I presume this is where my masks do not work.  Restarted, shut down restarted, gave it overnight - masks just do not work. I'll see if I can go back to the previous version of AE 2025.  Tried AE 2026 of course, but it repeatedly froze in places during render ... things that had rendered fine in AE 2025.  2026 froze rendering different comps in different projects, so I can't use that yet. I'm running a Mac Studio M4 with maxed out everything, new but haven't had any problems with anything else.

Hi, I'm having constant issues with preview playback of cached frames.I have i9 13900 Intel cpu with 128 GB RAM and fast SSD for storage and separate SSD for cache.When palying a preview with sound the playback slowdowns and shutters very often even the frames are cached. What's more frustrating when changing the sound layer eg. its volume, cache is gone and it rebuilds itself again. 

Wenn ich After Effects 2026 - Windows 11 in mein Projekt gehe, -mein Video, bzw. die Vorschau abspielen möchte, wird mit dem drücken der Leertaste, das Hand symbol kurz aktiviert. Bzw. das Hand Symbol erscheint so lange, wie ich die Leertaste drücke.  Ich möchte das ändern, aber weiß nicht wie, ich bitte um Hilfe. Die Hand ist in den Tastaturbefehlen normal auf H, und die Leertaste ist auch normal auf Vorschau abspielen, trotzdem wird die Hand dann angezeit.

The preview won't play. I've tried adjusting the audio hardware settings, but it still doesn't work. It won't play even in Safe Mode or after removing all plugins. I've also reinstalled After Effects and even reformatted Windows. Please help. For detailed symptoms, please refer to the video.After Effects 26.0Windows 11 25H2 OS Build 26200.7623

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue where After Effects won’t launch properly.Every time I open it, the Crash Repair dialog appears.No matter which option I choose: Start in Safe Mode, Reset Preferences, Manage Plugins, or Continue, After Effects still fails to launch. When I try to launch After Effects, I can see it appear in Task Manager for about 5 seconds, then it disappears without fully opening.I’ve already tried:Running After Effects as AdministratorUninstalling and reinstalling After Effects multiple timesRestarting my laptopUnfortunately, none of these solved the problem.I’m currently on Windows 11 (AMD laptop).Has anyone experienced this before or knows what else I can try?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Below is a video showing that I selected one of the Crash Repair options, but After Effects still fails to launch.

Installation Path: Pure English characters onlyIssue Summary: Enabling the "Advanced 3D" renderer in the Chinese language version of After Effects causes the application to crash with the error "Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception". It is hypothesized that this is a localization bug related to the non-English characters in the Chinese translation "高级 3D".Steps to Reproduce:1. Ensure After Effects language is set to Chinese.2. Create a new composition.3. Create a layer (e.g., shape layer or text layer).4. In Composition Settings or the Layer panel, switch the renderer to "Advanced 3D".5. Enable the 3D switch for the layer.6. The application crashes instantly.Expected Result: The "Advanced 3D" renderer should be enabled successfully, and 3D features should work as intended.Actual Result: After Effects crashes with the error message: "After Effects can't continue: Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception.". This issue may also be present in other localized v

Hi All, I have an RGB, multi-layered Illustrator file which will not import into After Effects, 2025.3 on Mac. Nothing happens when I go through the import; basically, the file does not import and is not visible in After Effects. I have sequenced layers in Illustrator (each layer on its own)File is RGBI have no additional artboardsI have pressed the PDF-compatible file on export I have used this file many times before (with my students, never had a problem). Can someone help, please? 

Hi everyone, I have been having this issue with after effects that has confused my professors and I. I will be editing on the app and eventually the preview panel will freeze. Not only on the frame but when I try to start the preview it will go forward a frame and stop. Even when I switch to a different composition it will only show that frame and nothing else. When I do try to edit anyways I can’t see the edits I am making but when I come back to the project they are still there. On top of this I tried starting a completely new project without restarting after effects and even though the composition is blank it still shows the frame from my previous project. I purged my cache, restarted after effects and my computer, reset preferences, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the current version along with the one directly prior. My professors have never seen anything like this. The app doesn’t crash but literally just freezes the preview. I haven't been able to make any progress
