After Effects

hi,I am using a 32 inch monitor with 4k resolution. Text and icons are barely visible. The scaling that is enabled in windows 11 does not work on applications.

I'm running AEX's latest version: 25.3.0 (Build 52), and AMD 5900X and RTX 3080 on Windows 11. The comp is 60 fps & 4096×2160. The animation starts at -80° and ends at -35°, and lasts 2.5s, though the bug appears regardless of duration and composition frame-rate. This is a very odd bug as the animation should be smooth (as it is when you just play with the slider in the effects panel), though it appears very stutter-y. This is not a performance issue, as my timeline is fully cached and plays at 60 fps real-time. After Effects just seems to be unable to animate the direction of the drop shadow in increments less than 6°. Rendering does not help either, as you can see in the attached footage. You can easily recreate this by applying a drop shadow on a layer and try keyframing the direction of said shadow.

Hello, I am expericening a render with jittering chracter spacing when text layers are set to Optical Kerning and with the Multi-Frame render option checked. It does not happen consitently, but seems to happen when I am doing a large batch of renders. This is happening in both After Effects CC2022 & CC2023. The issue does not happen if I set the kerning to Metric...but we find the text layout looks better when set to Optical. Here is a Frame.io link with several sampels of the issue: https://f.io/KfFRl2dm  Here are my specs:App Versions: After Effects CC2022 (v22.6) & CC2023 (v23.1)Platform: macOS Monterey 12.6.5 and macOS Ventrua 13.3.1 Since it's happening inconsitently, here's the best instructions I can give to reproduce the result:Start a new projectMake sure "Enable Mulit-Frame Rendering" is CHECKED in the "Media & Performace" tab of the PreferencesCreate a new comp and Add a text layer.Set the kerning of the text layer to OpticalAdd some

Upon exporting a gif I have ran into an issue. Exported gif is split in half at a random spot and rearranged. Here's the working space view:  Here's the gif. The animation still works which is funny but it's split in half.  I have done this before and the gif saved correctly. I don't understand what's going on.  This is the settings I'm using. This is the same animation I've done just before: 

AFX 23.6 dynamic link not working anymore between Premiere - AF 23.5 works fine

Everytime I restart my machine or Quit After Effects the Memory & Performance settings are not saving. It allocates something different every time and I have to change it manually. Anyone else have this issue? Also, on my Max M1 Studio AE runs very very slow. Running 23.2.1 with 64 RAM available on Ventura 13.2.1. It used to scream but it has slowed immensly with this latest release of AE.

Hi. This is my second post highlighting the issue. And I hope it gets fixed. Issue:A recent update to Adobe After Effects has caused some issues in RTL scripts (Arabic in this case), where values are flipped from 0 to 100 and vice versa, and the quotation marks are always flipped no matter what (“  ”) > (”  “) Adobe After Effects version number: 23.3.0 (Build 53) - Also occured in the past 2 updates.Operating system: MacOS Ventura (13.4) - Also occures in Monterey (12), and on Windows PC.Steps to reproduce:Using a RTL language (Arabic, etc), type anything and then add quotation marks, you'll notice that (“) shows up first instead of (”).Expected result - For the quotation marks to behave normally, aka “  ”علامات التنصيص ”تنقلب“ على أدوبيActual result -  The quotation marks are flipped, aka ”  “علامات التنصيص “تنقلب” على أدوبي

I am exporting an After Effects video - but my exported video will not open on my Mac OS Monterey Version 12.6.6. I have tried exporting on both Render Queue and Media Encoder - which have no issues during the export but the files will not open correctly. When using Quicktime it will say it the format is incompatible for .mov, and for .mp4, .mpeg it will open only black video with no duration (same on VLC).  I have tried exporting with different codecs, eg Apple Pro Res, with similar effect.  My video is simple - only 5 seconds, two layers and 2 effects. And I am using After Effects 23.4.0 and Media Encoder 23.4. The files are saved to my drive and do not contain any non-latin characters. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thank you.     

I've been placing a number of mocap characters into scenes (output as Alembic animations from Blender) using AE 23.0 and C4D Lite R25. But since the update to AE 23.1 with C4D Lite R26, Alembic objects within the C4D file do not render. All other objects render out fine.

as attach video.If I expand the shape layer on the timeline, you can see the Add arrow.However, if you double-click on the properties panel to expand the layer, there will be no Add arrow.The Add arrow will not appear until the layer is re-expanded on the timeline.

Having an issue where I am working on a project and upon hitting 'Render' in the Render Queue, my entire After Effects almost freezes in place and no buttons work forcing me to restart the app. I have sent a crash report, and everytime I re-open After Effects, a "Crash Repair Options" menu shows up before I can continue on which basically means everytime I attempt to render the scene, my After Effects freezes and crashes. Ive tried all the options on the Crash Repair Options menu and it has not worked. Also tried purging cache, clearing all disk cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, and even downloading an older version After Effects which have all not worked. Ive also tried to render the video with different output settings, which all have not worked. Its gotten to the point where, the project file almost seems frozen the moment I reopen it, as I cannot even Preview or playback my video in the timeline at times. I had no issues opening up other projects and rendering them, i

When "Use 1/2/3 for navigation and 4/5/6 for transform gizmos" is enabled in Preferences / 3D, the marker navigation shortcuts do not work as described in keyboard shortcuts, and I believe the keyboard shortcut dialogue is incorrect. The hover overlay - suggest that when the composition panel is active - you should be able to navigate to marker '3' - with the 3 key. However, this should be when the timeline panel is active - you should be able to navigate to marker '3' - retaining the 1/2/3 functionality when the composition window is active for navigating the camera.However, currently neither option is functional.AE 23.4 / Win 10

I think this problem occured since AE 2022, because around 2021 and prior, I have always been able to customize the keyboard shortccuts for Zoom in/out to keys 2 and 1. But since 2022, I haven't been able to do any customizations at all. If I removed all its shortkeys and add back the defaults (such as , and .), it will also not work. So the only way for them to work right now is if they are derived from Default.txt untouched. I tried customizing via the keyboard shortcuts text doc too but did nothing. Any insight/fix would be greatly appreciated.

Issue – bear with me, it's complicated to describe:The computation result of layers that have a Fast Box Blur, and subsequent masked Curves effect applied, is offset by an unknown amount that is relative to the mask's top edge – see screenshots. This issue only occurs when Mercury GPU acceleration (CUDA) is enabled.While narrowing down the issue, AE started throwing the "GPU Effects Error" erratically. Sometimes after duplicating a composition, and other times right upon loading the project. Steps to reproduce:apply a Fast Box Blur effect to a layeradd a Curves effecttrace an additive mask, that spans from the centre of the object down to the bottom of the composition, and spans across the entire width of the composition switch the curves effect channel to Alpha, trace an S-Curveset the mask as compositing mask for the Curve effect AE Version: 23.4.0 (Build 53)Platform: Windows 11 Pro (Build 22621.1702)NVIDIA Studio Driver: 531.61 & 535.98 Ex

Currently On Mac Catalina 10.15.3 Please Help! I've tried un-installing and re-installing different versions. All Have the same problem.  Other applications from adobe work just fine.

I'm using After Effects 23.4 on an M1 Mac Studio with 128GB of ram (macOS 13.3.1). I've noticed that I consistently get low memory warning messages and struggle to playback more than a few frames of compositions when working with scenes imported from Character Animator (v23.1). It's something that becomes increasingly worse, the more imports from Character Animator I do. Also, when rendering out compositions that contain Charater Animator scenes, After Effects is only using 1% of the 128GB of RAM available. By contrast, when I render out compositions from projects that DO NOT contain Character Animator scenes, After Effects uses around 73% of the 128GB of RAM available. I'm not sure what the reason is for this?

Having issues for a while now.After Effects refuses to run smoothly on my PC anymore.The biggest issue is when trying to access the menus at the top of the software - e.g. File, Edit, Composition etc. This causes After Effects to freeze for roughly 30secs to 1 minute. The menu then opens, but I'm unable to access the information in it, I'm also unable to open any other programs while this is happening. Total freezeIt's been an excellent opportunity to learn all the shortcuts, but I'm beginning to lose my will. Please help. I have tried reinstalling AE and graphic drivers, purging etc. Specs here -  Operating SystemWindows 11 Home 64-bit CPU AMD Ryzen 9 3900X  RAM64.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1064MHz (15-15-15-36) Graphics4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (Gigabyte) 

1-When you save an output module it doesn't remember the render color space setting when you reboot your after effects.2-When you add new aces files to the project it doens't interpret them correctly and even changing the color display input from none to aces/sRGB back and forth dosen't work, it doenst update at all.AE 2023 version v23.4

I was working on creating a star wars hologram effect in after effects and had a cutout of a character from a scene that I rotoscoped. During previews of it in the program itself it appeared fine, but when exported, some frames have the character's cutout appearing black. Tried rendering it in different formats and codecs and didn't work. Clearing the cache also didn't work and trying to remove the masks I used for the glow effect I used for the hologram (I thought the masks might be to blame) also didn't work. Thanks to anyone that has the solution in advance.

URGENT PROBLEM MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE AE! After effects preview stops rendering new frames from ALL sources after toggling visibility of some layers in a comp. Nothing new that I haven't used before is in this comp. Watch attached video as it shows the problem visually. Specs: RTX 3070TIRyzen 5900X32GB Ram500GB free space left on hard drive Software:Windows 10, AE 23.4 Also closing after effects after the onset of the problem isn't possible except using task manager to force quit.   https://youtu.be/0DnJatrl5Rs I have tried to ignore the files which "caused" the glitch but it turns out that the preview breaking happens even when none of the visibility changes. Switching to 2 view (the comp is 3D) allows me to see the wireframes moving but no preview renders.
