After Effects

After upgrading to macOS sonoma, I found that the Window menu and blend mode menu are not transparent. The following screenshots are taken on Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81) and After Effects 24.0.3 (Build 2).It's only After Effects on my machine having this issue, other apps like Photoshop and Illustrator are good.Does anyone else encounter this issue? I know it doesn't affect daily workflow, but it's just noticeable. 

When using the scroll wheel or the two-finger swipe up/down gesture on the trackpad to adjust a property value, it is being adjusted not correctly (backwards).Clicking on a value and scrolling/swiping up decreases the value, while scrolling/swiping down increases it. Scroll/swipe UP ↑DECREASES the value ↓Scroll/swipe DOWN ↓ INCREASES the value ↑ This behavior is counterintuitive. It should work the other way around. Please fix it.  macOS 12.7.1After Effects v24.1  PS. This issue also exists in Illustrator:https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/47546990-making-adjustments-to-a-value-within-a-panel-s-fie

This has been an issue for both Premiere Pro and After Effects. For both IOS/MAC and Window users. For years and different versions.When changing from speakers to plugging in earphones or headphones, the "Default Output" doesn't automatically change and pick up the change in devices. I am working on Windows 11, After Effects. This happened with the last 2023 version and still with the 2024 version. But earlier in the year the 2023 version did pick up changes in audio automatically, I know this issue repeats itself throughout the years. I have seen multiple posts on this and it happened in 2012 too to me.Can this be fixed somehow for once and for all? 

 My problem is in a title. I think it's a bug...

IssueWhen Source Text property of a text layer is exposed as Essential Property in AE versions prior to 23.6 only text change without styling is being applied to source layer. Sice adding Essential Properties (EP) to Properties panel in 23.6 and enabling font styling options for text properties it looks like the whole TextDocument is now being forwarded to the source layer, which is great. The problem is the essential property was apparently stored as TextDocument with all font styling data in project file also in previous versions, which might lead to unexpected styling changes when opening old project in AE 23.6 as the essential property value might carry some styling changes that were not visible in older AE. Adobe After Effects version number23.6 Steps to reproduceCreate a new project in AE 23.5 (also 22 can be used, or any older version supporting EP)Create a Comp 1 with a text layer using font A and add "Source Text" property to EPCreate another Comp 2, add Co

Hi, when using content aware (generate fill)The device receives an error even though my device has high specificationsThere is always a problem that shows me these messages( out of memory )( a nullptr was dereferenced ) And when I open the application again, this message appears

Hey, while improving some projects, I noticed that sometimes text from an instantiated comp was stuck in all caps, even though it was delected in the Essential Graphics Panel. I use a comp like that (sample is included):Child comp that will be intantiatedParent comp that uses the child comp in varying styles I noticed when child comp has e.g. all caps enabled that they are stuck in all caps in the parent comp even if the all caps is deselected in the Essential Graphics Panel."Luckily" the state is correctly reflected in the new property panel. Clicking all caps in the Essential Graphics Panel does nothing in this case. I tested this with other faux formats and this issue occurs as well.But when e.g. faux italic is selected in the Essential Graphics Panel, then the text correctly updates without all caps. What is the expected result? The Essential Graphics Panel should show which faux formats are actually selected if they were on by default (so they can be deslected

While working on a text script, I encountered an issue with the boxTextPos property. It seems that boxTextPos does not accept negative values. Whenever I try to input a negative value, the script does not work, but it works perfectly fine with positive values. AE Version: v 23.6 & v 24.0 (users have reported this issue since CC 2017)OS: Windows 11 Steps to Reproduce:Create a script using the boxTextPos property to set the position of a paragraph text box.Try setting the value to a negative number, e.g. boxTextPos = [-50, 50];See that the script does not run.Change the value to a positive number, e.g. boxTextPos = [50, 50];The script works correctly. I believe this is a bug that needs attention as it limits the flexibility in scripting for working with paragraph text layers, which are a substantial part of text workflows. Any help or acknowledgment would be highly appreciated!

Hey all, not sure if this is an Adobe bug or a potential issue with the font but I'm having an odd issue with After Effects where the height of a font is appearing differently in After Effects compared to everywhere else.As you can see from the images I have two words that are written in two different fonts in Illustrator. The fonts are actually the same base font but 1 of them is a custom cut (to adjust kerning) that we had created by the foundry. In Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere and everywhere else I've tested it both fonts have the same height when set to the same point size as intended. But for some reason in After Effects the newer font with the customisation appears to be about 3% smaller in height.I have tried thise in multiple versions of AE, and on both Windows and Mac and the issue is consistent.Not sure if this is a bug or an potentially Afer Effects quirk effecting a setting within the font itself. Any help would be great.

App Version: After Effects 23.6 Platform and OS Version: MacOS Ventura 13.5 Basic steps to reproduce the problem:Happens sometimes when I change the timecode/time display manually (entering numbers especially if I want it to be exact). Been happening quite a lot recently and it already came to the point that I've lost my progress a couple of times as well, kinda pisses me off. Never have I experienced this bug on the previous versions. Actual Result: Hope this can be fixed soon. Thanks!

I have a project which I started in Ae 2023.6. When Ae 2024 came out I worked at the project there, having converted it into a 2024 project version. I finished the project, sent it to the client and yesterday I got a note for some corrections to make in it. So I open up the project in Ae 2024 and get this: I hit OK and get this: I hit OK and get an empty timeline: I have tried saving the project in 2023 version and opening it in Ae 2023 and I get the same empty project there. And yes I tried "saving under a different name".What am I to do? I am about to lose my client, Adobe...

I can't believe this nonsense is back. Right at the start of my start menu under "recently added": 'Maxon Cinema 4D'". Why?? This was finally solved after years of multiple unwanted C4D installations:installing C4D is now optional when installing After Effects 2023 and later.As noted by @JohnColombo17100380 in Prevent Maxon Cinema 4D Force Install The add-ons overview for AE in the Creative Cloud application just shows 'installed ✅', no option to never install it or even to uninstall it.

Good morning, I have the most up-to-date version of After Effects, 24.0, and the most up-to-date version of Mac Os Ventura, 13.6. And I started facing the following problem. Whenever I use the shortcut to create a keyframe, the layer is automatically deselected (Attached is the video where I show it). And the most bizarre thing: this only happens when I create the first keyframe for each attribute. From the second of the same attribute this does not happen again. 

Hi,Using AE24.0.2When I click on some of the buttons on the help menu, nothing happens. Unfortunately this also includes the F1 shortcut. I think they should open a link on the browser, but they don't work.I've tried resetting AE but that didnt fix it. The other selections work though, including "Online User Forums" and "Provide Feedback" that DO open a link in Chrome.Help!

I require assistance with an issue that occurs when launching the program. It crashes and displays the error messages shown in the screenshot. What's strange is that this issue only arises when I run the program from its desktop shortcut. However, I can continue to use After Effects if I initiate it through a project file (.aep) and create new projects by selecting 'File > New Project' from there. I can still use After Effects, but the inconvenience of having to start it in this manner is quite frustrating.///////Necesito ayuda con un problema que ocurre al iniciar el programa. Crashea y muestra los mensajes de error que están en la captura de pantalla. Lo que es raro de este problema es que sólo surge cuando ejecuto el programa desde el acceso directo del escritorio. Sin embargo, puedo seguir usando After Effects si lo inicio a través de un archivo de proyecto (.aep) y creo nuevos proyectos seleccionando 'Archivo > Nuevo proyecto' desde allí. Todavía puedo usar After Effects, pe

the  scene edit detection dont work good. it does not find all the cuts 😞the same shot in 23 is working great - scene edit detection work fineHappened several times in different shots 

While we apply the presets in after effects 2024, there's an issue with time.  The keyframes are not placing in the current time, but in different places forward in the timeline. Depending on the preset they are some seconds ahead or even minutes.Before, this version, keyframes where placed in the current time.After Effects 24.0.1macOS Sonoma 14.1 

Trying the convert, let's say, the character 𝟬 from a text layer to a shape layer results in After Effects crashing with the error "Could not convert unicode character (23 :: 46)". This seems to work with all character from the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, although it should be noted that not many fonts support this block. I had to use the STIXGeneral font. I am using an Apple Silicon Macbook with macOS Sonoma 14.0.

Is there a reason why when I do Create Camera from 3D View the keyframes from the original camera are moved to the new one and removed from there and the stopwatches next to the properties disappear? It doesn't really make sense. It seems to be a bug I am on After Effects 24. I haven't tried on older versions yet.  

Bonjour, je travaille sous windows 10 pro avec After effects 2023-33.3.0 build 55 et j'utilise mediaencoder 2023 23.6 buil 62.Quand je l'export de mon fichier after effects j'obtiens un résultat faisant apparaitre dans la fenêtre de codage dont une partie gauche de l'image se retrouve à droite!!!( voir captures d'écran ci dessous).Merci de me donner une explication et un moyen de résoudre le problème qui ne se produisait pas auparavant. Je ne peux pas passer aux versions récentes étant dans un lourd projet et risquant sinon de ne pas pouvoir faire des corrections ou d'avoir des incompatibilités entre versions du projet.D'avance merciClaude 

After updating AE to Version 24.01, Mocha won't apply/paste keyframe data in Team Projects. After you apply data from Mocha nothing appears on the layer. It appears to work normally in regular projects. 

Estoy trabajando en una capa, y la selecciono para hacer un keyframe de cualquier cosa (posición, escala, opacidad, etc.) y al hacerlo con el método abreviado del teclado (shortcut) la capa se deselecciona, por lo que debo tomar nuevamente el mouse y volver a seleccionar la capa para seguir trabajando. Esto no pasa cuando hago el keyframe con el mouse sobre el cronómetro. Esto comenzó a pasar al actualizar a la versión 24.0. Antes no ocurría, por lo que varias veces he hecho el segundo keyframe sin percatarme de que la capa no está seleccionada, y se aplica a todas las capas de la línea de tiempo... peor aún, cuando hago esto, no puedo ir atrás con "Command+Z", así que debo eliminar uno a uno los keyframes de todas las capas. Por favor, ¿cómo puedo hacer para que la capa no se deseleccione al aplicar el keyframe con los comandos del teclado? ¡Muchas gracias a todos!

Issue: When you accidentally add keyframes to selected multiple layers and you want to undo this, you need to hit ctr-z as many times as the amount of the selected layers. This is time consuming and not practical at all.As far as I know, undo function used to take a step back from adding the keyframes from multiple layers with just one ctr-z hit. Please fix it.After Effects 24.0.0 (Build 55), Windows 10

When I start to write in some fonts, AE automatically goes to another font after a few letters. When I try and change it back, it only changes some letters. 2017 iMac, 12.6.1. 

I'm running AE 23.5.0. When having motion blur turned off for an entire comp, I'll turn on motion blur for a single layer and this will toggle motion blur on for the whole comp. It should remain off, and in previous versions at least up to 2018 and perhaps more. I've provided a video of what I'm talking about. When checking the motion blur for a sinlge layer this should not turn motion blur on globally for the whole comp. I'm assuming this is a bug, otherwise this would be the most annoying implmentation I've ever seen. Having to constantly go back and turn off motion blur for ram previews, what a drag.
