Am wondering if anyone knows the keyboard shortcut to change the "focus" to the timeline panel.  I couldn't find anything in the keyboard editor.  There is a similar functionality in Premiere using Command + 3.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I created a project using layers from illustrator as I have done multiple times before. In After Effects everything seems to be in the right place, but when I send to Media Encoder to export, the sahdow layers change position and get clipped. Is there a setting i need to change when exporting that may be causing this? I've tried multiple presets and it looks like this with any of them.Layers:On After effects:On Media Encoder / exported videoThank you! 

After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video  and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

Hi everybodyI am trying to write a simple progress bar script, to use in my other scripts.// Function to update the progress bar function updateProgressBar(value, max) { var progressBarWindow = new Window("palette", "Progress", undefined); var progressBar = progressBarWindow.add("progressbar", undefined, 0, max); progressBarWindow.show(); progressBarWindow.center(); // Function to update the progress value progressBarWindow.updateProgress = function (value) { progressBar.value = value; this.update(); }; return progressBarWindow; } // Example usage: var progressBar = updateProgressBar(0, 100); // Create a progress bar with a maximum value of 100 var startTime = new Date().getTime(); // Get the current time var duration = 6000; // 5 seconds in milliseconds while (new Date().getTime() - startTime < duration) { // Update the progress bar value based on the elapsed time var elapsed = new Date().getTime() - startTime; var prog

I'm on apple and mainly I export video for social media usage (YouTube, Instagram, etc.) in mp4. I've been dealing with color managemnt issue for a long time yet couldn't really figure out how it works, this one is by far the most detailed explaination I've found, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf3x4dhxydk . Here's another video by Adobe telling me to disable "use display color setting", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqz7WGK2pCo .  I don't even know how to ask a proper question about the issue actually, when I enable "use display color management" the color just looks completely off, so I always keep it disabled. I wonder if it's the reason my video always look a bit washed when playing with QuickTime Player and YouTube (yet it looks fine in VTC player.) Hope someone can help me out and suggest me the best setting for social media export. Great thanks!

Hi,I am a relative After Effects novice only needing to touch it on  perhaps one or two occasions a year. I've previously produced videos and been able to edit and sync sound very easily in After Effects, that was probably a year ago, I've probably updated the app a few times since and now when I import a .wav file the preview of the sound is extremely slow and I'm unable to sync with the video? The video, however, plays perfectly at the correct pace.I've googled this quite a bit and tried all the advice that I've found i.e - amending the frame rate, restarting my Mac, assigning more RAM, previewing at the lowest resolution, fast draft previews etc etc but none of this has had any effect.Any ideas would be most grateful as After Effects is unusable for me at the moment.Many thanks in advnace

Anybody know how to type Emoji in Text layer in AE 2020? Also i try to use AE2019, try AE on macOS 10.13.6 and Windows 10 Pro - but i can't see emoji in composition window.But in timeline i see emoji. After so many versions the program never learned to use Unicode fonts, I can insert emoticons into a text file, but when copying this text to AE, emoticons are not visible? 

 Im wondering if its possible using after effect achieve this kind of look like lens, i'm doing a research and trying to figure it out, someone have a clue how ? really thank you!!

I have no clue why my multiply layer on After Effects is not exporting. Its not a guide layer, it shows up in preview but not after export. I've tried exporting as RPG + Alpha/ Straight but with no luck. I've seen on another post that exporting with blend effects is simply not possible on After Effects. Is it true? Do i need to export to Premier Pro?ThanksHere is the project panel in question: 

Hello!So I downloaded some free models from tf3dm on the .obj file. When I imported them into Element 3D they were all not showing. I tried addind some materials from element itself but that didnt fix it either. The model is just invisible for some reason. I tried multiple models, all .obj and from different creators and such so its not the models' fault.. here are some screenshots, of when I import it and what I see with the materials that come with it, and with some element materials on it. By the way I use element all the time with the video copilot model packs and then it works fine. also works fine with mask extrudes models.

Hello Adobe Community,I'm experiencing persistent "std exception" crashes in After Effects 25.3.2 running on macOS Sonoma 15.6 (24G84). After six hours of troubleshooting, I'm at a dead end. Here's what I've tried:-Full Creative Cloud clean install (using Adobe Cleaner Tool)-Font management: Disabled third-party fonts, cleared font caches (as someone suggested)-Cache reset: Deleted Preferences, MediaCache, DiskCache, GPUCache-Terminal checks: Ran disk utility and permission repairs-Version testing: Tried multiple AE versions with same issue

Good morning! So this is a bit of an odd one! My After effects export stops and errors at exactly 1m23s (or frame 2064) on every project i work on.  For example, im just exporting out an animation thats 6 minutes long, when the export gets to 1m23 in the timeline, it errors and stops exporting.  If i then tell it to render from that point onwards, exactly 1m23s along again in the timeline, it crashes again!, and so on... Each time the file size is EXACTLY the same of the AVI its managed to export before crashing (see screenshot attached) and those files shown in the screenshot are all meant to be exporting from different points on the timeline onwards, so definitly shouldnt be the same size.  The error that comes up after it gets to frame 2064 says:After Effects Error: Redering error while writing to file "G:\Shared drives\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\." Disk Full. The file maybe damaged or corrupted. (-1610153463) I then hit ok on that error and another one pops up sayi

Hi all, I have been assigned this project to complete, but I'm unsure how to recreate it. There might be a plugin for this, which I'm sure was used. File attached.Help ASAP Anthony

Whenever I try to use the "Sunburst" preset on After Effects 2024, it immediately crashes the app. I have tried using this effect on After Effects Beta, and it works perfectly fine with nothing crashing. Is there a reason as to why this could be crashing on AE 24, or is there just a bug when using it in AE 24 that makes my computer crash when using it?

Hey there, Just thought I'd see if anyone had any input on which version of AE I should require for my motion and VFX classes heading into the new school year in a couple weeks. I have traditionally required students to use the previous version but it's always a little bit of a battle with some students accidentally letting their CC app auto-update and just students being students and not always responding.As far as hardware, at school we have M1 Mac Studios but most of the classes are online these days so students tend to have either basic gaming-oriented Windows machines or MacBook Pros, and anything in between. There's no real way of me knowing, I distribute the minimum requirements and hope for the best. It's actually surprising how few issues I run into with students and their hardware.And for how we use AE, we get into maybe an intermediate level of animation and compositing with tons of Cinema 4D integration via Cineware and AEC files. Our main 3rd party effects are Particu

how to get look like this 

HolaI have a Mac, and the shortcut don't work, it will open something else.Moving the mouse holding contro/option, will open a panel.What is the best way?I have AE. 25.3.2 

My after effects keep crashing, saying I need more RAM even though I have 64gb of ram. I tried deleting my cache and memory but still won't work. My pc specs are quite good (4090, core i9, 64gb ram) but after effects also slows the playback speed when i play. 

I'm supposed to be able to craete a comp and double-click the sunburst effect to add it to a comp but it does not work. I get an expression error. If I knew more about expressions I might be able to sleuth it out, but alas...     

Hi guys, this questions seems stupid to ask but I for gods sake cannot make After Effects open in Full Screen on Mac.The window shows a green + instead of <> button, and the "view"/"enter full screen" option is greyed out. I'm on a 13 inch MacBook and obviously a visual program is unsuable if not opened in full screen.Cant find any articles on this so expect this is not a common issue:  

Hi guys, The Drop Shadow effect in my After Effects suddenly disappeared. I checked the Presets folder in my Mac and it is not in there. After Effects keeps telling me the preset is 'missing'. I'm using AE version 23.4 on an iMac with macOS Monterey. Does anyone have any idea what happened? I tied to re-install the AE app, but didn't help. That preset is still missing.  

Hello,I've been working on a shot requiring me to isolate my subject from the green screen behind him. I chose to go with Rotobrush over keying the subject. I used the refine edge tool as well. In the middle of me finalizing this shot, my AE crashes on me giving me multiple error messages including "After Effects warning: Cant use the Roto Brush tool because the "Paint" effect plugin is missing. You may need to reinstall." Im very confused because I hadnt messed with any settings beforehand, I'm not using a third party plug in or anything, Roto brush was working fine, and then it just happened in the middle of me editing the shot. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice now. I cant even open After Effects (Beta) or even open a project, the message shows up as soon as AE shows the startup screen. Help! 

Wel the titel says it all i guess: Is there a way to only render part of the timeline?
