After Effects

I want to animate a rectangle with no fill and at the ends with red dots and where the rectangles intersect so I can add nulls and move the position of the rectangles to create this animation of the concorde visor retracting into the nose. All the parts that interconnect. These form the mechanics of the mechanism visor retract mechanism. I can get the position of white lines using the beam effect in AE as then you can animate the start and end positions of the beam but using rectangles it is hard to work out how to do the same, such I can that parent bars together or set nulls to animate the working mechanism of the visor retract. I have tried merge paths of the line over a rectangle to take the difference as a mask, and that wont work as the line is very narrow (and has no volume) against the filled rectangle. Also the create nulls from path feature but that will obviously create 4 nulls for each corner of the rectangle and I want to only manipulate 2 ends.  How is

I have an active Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, but in my Creative Cloud app I can only see the newer After Effects versions (2024 and later).I am specifically looking for After Effects 23.6 (2023) because of plugin compatibility and project stability. This version is no longer shown under “Other Versions” for me.Is there any official way to download or enable access to this older version, for example through Adobe Support?Thanks in advance for any help!

Je rencontre un problème depuis la dernière mise à jour d’Illustrator. Lorsque j'importe un fichier .ai contenant une défonce, un “trou”, dans After Effects, les paths ne se comportent plus comme prévu. Les deux tracés ne fonctionnent plus ensemble comme la délimitation d'une seule forme avec soustraction, mais apparaissent comme deux contenus superposés. Il est impossible de les animer comme si le second tracé était soustrait du premier.Ce problème n’existait absolument pas il y a quelques mois. Cette mise à jour d’Illustrator empêche également, par exemple, de copier-coller une forme contenant un dégradé vers InDesign.Adobe est de plus en plus cher et son workflow fonctionne de moins en moins bien.Cela devient vraiment pénible...Merci par avance de votre aide et du temps que vous consacrerez à me demande.Bonne fetes à vous.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hello,When I import an Illustrator (.ai) file

Is that font changer or something else? Im trying to make this over the last week and i could't. Its so butter smooth.

Hi,my coworkers and I collaborate on AE projects (no team-projects) using Sharepoint. This workflow works really well with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign but After Effects doesn´t seem to like it. We work with MacBooks and always collect/package all media on the sharepoint but more often than not After Effects just loads the file for 10-20 minutes when my coworkers open the project. Other times the start-up time is quite short but the media is missing even though the files are collected.  We already tried this workflow (which works but is to time consuming):1. collect files and save it on the sharepoint2. If someone else needs to make changes they copy the whole folder to their local drive and when finished they collect the files again and save the new version to the sharepoint replacing the old folder Is there a better and less time consuming way to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,🤓I'm having an issue with the expression editor in After Effects. When I open the expression panel to write expressions, half of it appears black and I can't see what I'm typing properly.My Setup:After Effects 25.6.0Windows 11Display scaling: 125%Monitor: BenQ ultrawideWhat I've Tried:Removed the DPI scaling override settings in AfterFX.exe properties - this fixed the black expression panel BUT now the entire UI is too small to work with comfortablyThe Problem:It seems like I have to choose between:Having a readable UI with 125% Windows scaling (but half-black expression panel)OR fixing the expression panel but working with a tiny UI at 100% scalingIs there any way to have both a normal-sized interface AND a working expression panel? This feels like a bug Adobe needs to fix.Has anyone else experienced this? I suspect it might be related to display scaling or DPI settings, but I'm not sure how to fix it without making the entire interface too small to work with comfo

Is there any way to make the shatter effect work in a way where as individual pieces have been shattered for longer, they either change color, or decrease in opacity? Almost how CC Particle World works. If not, is there any workaround I could do?

i have a project with hundreds of dissolvesi need to import all of the timeline into after effects to work on each clip.right now cross dissolves doesnt not cross over to after effects as opacity keyframes.i`m looking for a work around here, because manually doing so to each layer is literally totureany ideas ?

I just rendered a composition of mine, and going back on the project it now refuses to play, and shows me just a grey screen (see below). When I move across the timeline it shows a black screen instead I tried restarting AE, restarting my computer, but those didn't work I tried previewing other projects and they worked just fine Also, when I try and close after effects while on this broken composition, after effects freezes and i have to force quit. I'm on an M1 chip Macbook Pro, 16GB memory, Sequoia 15.6.1 ^ When scrolling through the timeline ^ When idle

Every time cinema 4d renderer is selected AE crashes - M1 Macbook pro MAX This occurs regardless of the project. It is not possible to change the 3d renderer to cinema 4D or to create a new composition with cinema 4d. AE version is 25.6.0(Build 101). Mac is running Tahoe 26.2.Tried re-installing, purging cache, disabling all 3rd party plugins to no avail.

Hey all, I'm very new to using an editing platform, forgive me if this is a simple thing. I created roto mask for the "twin" subjects and key framed the position. Works great, but curious to know how he created this trail effect behind the subjects coming in to frame? any help would be awesome.

Hello Everyone.I have a very basic Scene less than 10 seconds, and I am watching a Tutorial on Pot Player on Tracking. I noticed After Effects did Freeze few times. I'm attaching the Error Message. I do have a fairly strong Computer. Also for Better Performence, I have my Mximum Disk Cache inside my C Drive "SSD", and Conformed Media Cache on my F Drive "SSD". I have used this Technique for my Premiere Pro files. In other words, I try to have only Program files Inside my C Drive. Thanks.Computer Info:Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz (3.60 GHz)64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 

Hi everyone I need help with a situation that I am facing with Adobe After Effects. I have no idea what happened previously AE used to work just fine when launching the app. Now sadly every single time I try to launch the app, the app constantly freezes on Boot Splash Screen. I don't even see any of the small letters running on the bottom left indicating the software is loading up. So I have to waite couple of minutes and the app just closes by itself and it constantly produces a .crash file on my Desktop. Is there any way I send that file for someone to take a look into it cause this issue has been bugging me for a long time. So far the only workaround is whenever I run the app. I need to use CTRL+ Shift + Alt and launch AE and reset my preferences. Once I reset that only then the app runs correctly. But then the moment I close out of the app and launch it again, it just keeps getting stuck on that Boot Splash logo screen.   Doing CTRL+ Shift + Alt is a temp fix to

I have written a script that adds an effect to the currently selected layer and then automatically opens the Effect Controls panel.Because app.findMenuCommandId("Effect Controls") toggles the panel (opens or closes it),it does not meet my needs.Therefore I used the menu command "3734": "OpenEffectControls" instead,as shown in the code below: var cmdId = app.findMenuCommandId("Open Effect Controls");app.executeCommand(cmdId); However, the panel does not open when no layer is selected, and it also fails to open when the selected layer is a shape layer.The panel opens correctly only when the selected layer is an AV (footage) layer.Is this a limitation of After Effects itself?What approach can guarantee that the Effect Controls panel opens automatically regardless of which type of layer is selected?

I've moved and rotated several layers after pre-compositing A. Now I want to set a null at the position of an element in composite A, and then connect pre-composite A to the rest of the nulls in composite B. I can't figure out how to extract the null of an element in pre-composite A from the null in composite B. But I don't know how to extract the relative position of an element in this pre-composite A inside composite B.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
