After Effects

Please Help!Our team ( on different machines) can no longer collect files from AE! If there is a .cd4 file in the project the spinning rainbow wheel appears before the collected modal menu and just spins forever. AE 23.2.1OSX Monterey

I have to manually set it every time I go to render.  v23.2.1, using OCIO ACES 1.3

Hello, I have a problem with after effects regarding audio. Simply put there is no sound, no music no audio from imported clips nothing. I have audio set to my headphones in ae and windows, ae is not muted in windows settings and all audio boxes are checked, yet there is still no sound. I also tired restarting pc and unistalling ae and changing the sound output, but so far nothing worked. Am I missing something? Can anyone please help me sort this out.

I tend to work a lot with both Premiere and Adobe After effects, and the nature of the projects I am doing requires me to use AE projects inside Premiere a lot. Everything works like a charm until AE crushes for whatever reason. After this when I reopen AE every time I save the AE project and go back to Premiere the dynamic link between AE and Premiere appears to be broken and I need to relink the AE source file. The problem persists no matter what I do, restarts, reboots, and even reinstalling all Adobe software don't help.  Quick search in the google shows that the issue is quite common, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Has anyone had a luck with this one? It is extremely irritation and slows down my work dramatically. I am running the latest AE and Premiere on my Macbook Pro with OS Monterey if it matters.

I use AE version 23.4.0 but when I launch it it says that NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 Ti with Max-Q Design is usupported.  I have the latest Dell, NVIDIA and Intel versions.I have added a System Compatibility Report. Could you please guide me how to solve this problem. 

When applying the Shadow/Highlight effect to a video layer, then setting the "Effect Opacity" to "0", the video layer will freeze; a still-frame of the video is shown, but the video will not play in the timeline. This has been a bug in AFX for years. Just tried in AFX2023 and still exists. Windows 10, 64bitAFX 2023 and older 

This little bug has been around for a few versions now. I navigate around projects quite a lot using the drop-down menu at the top of the project window, where it tells you where the selected footage is used. If you click on the triangle next to 'used X times' it gives you a drop-down list of the comps and layers, that it's used in, and if you click on a certain list-entry, it takes you there. Only that functionality doesn't work. The list entries are greyed-out. If I switch to the finder using Cmd-Tab and then back to After Effects, the list-entries are selectable. In v23.4 it seems that the issue is then cleared up for all footage, but that hasn't been my experience over the last several months. It seems that I'm constantly switching over to the Finder to get those lists working. (I've also only been using 23.4 for a day or so, so no live-project experience as yet). AE 23.4.0 Build 53Mac OS Monterey 12.6.5Chip M1 Ultra

I would consider this a bug not a feature request, unless I'm missing some sort of workflow I just don't use. I use the Alt+Shift+(T,S,R,P) shortcuts extensively, fast and furious when animating a layer. However, sometimes, a layer will become unselected while working and when I apply the shortcut it will add a keyframe for every layer in the composition (which as we all know can be a hundred+). This causes me to have to Undo the mess and close all the layers which will then close all the layers I was working with effectively reseting my workflow. Why is that the default behavior? If I wanted to do that I would select every layer and then apply the shortcut. I would propose that if no layer is selected, the add property keyframe function should just do nothing. Having that function add a keyframe to every layer when no layer is selected is just unintuitive.

Put it on a T-shirt.  

Tracker is not working in after effects. Its frustrating. After clicking on analysing one frame forward the player is not moving forward. Its not tracking. Can anyone please help me on this? AfterEffects: 23.4Platform : Windows 10 OS Version: 21H2

AE 23.3.0Mac Mini M2 Pro 32GB running Ventura 13.3.1Running AE on a M2 Mac Mini with 32GB RAM. Warp stabilizer will freeze without crashing. Force quitting and reopening AE, removing and readding the Warp stabilizer will usually fix the problem and allow the anlysis phase to finish. log attached except .tmp logs not excepted?

BugmacOS Monterey 12.6.4M1 Mac StudioAE Version 23.3.0 Just updated a new AE version. Roto Brush has been working fine until now. I read new OS Ventura has problems, but now Roto Brush tool crashes After Effects in Monterey as well. Dragging the selection cursor over the image crashes the app almost immediately.You may be able to build a matte using short strokes and proceeding in very small increments, but the moment you try to preview the timeline After Effects crashes. Selecting Roto Brush version or quality does not help.Happens with every source format and codec, both internal and external SSDs.Precomping does not help.8 or 32 -bit, with or without Color Management.Turning Metal GPU acceleration on or off has no effect either. Please fix asap!  

This has been around a few years now.(Should I assume AE devs never use long comp names?)(Or never move or expand the render queue)I currently have a 34 max character count for comp names displayed in the render queueWhich is annoying if the differntiator is at the end, eg ### _v1, ###_v2!expanding the compname column does not show the rest of the filename 

Issue / Steps / ResultsIf you pickwhip the Distort > Transform effect's "Scale" property, it populates as "thisComp.layer("LAYERNAME").effect("Transform")("Scale")".This throws the error: "Property or method named 'Scale' in Class 'Effect' is missing or does not exist."The param needs to be manually changed to effect("Transform")("Scale Height") to fix.Adobe After Effects version number: 23.3.0Operating system: Win 10 Home - 21H2

Please let us be able to change names into After Effects files and that change would be reflected automatically in the Premiere Pro Program Monitor.  It is a problem when I change names in Premiere Pro from After Effects compositions because it create a crash in dynamic link server as it happened to me twice with different versions of the program. I was with a costumer support agent that helped me with a workaround. But it is a one time solution. This problem should have a definitely solution from the devs. Thanks in advance.

Last night I ran the update from After Effects 23.2 to 23.3. Today, I opened a project that contains multiple ProRes MXF assets with Alpha channels. Those MXFs are no longer transparent. See attached image showing shield assets and individual items that no longer have alpha transparency.  This project includes dozens of these assets and, as it stands, is now unusable. I am on a PC running Windows 10.

Hi all! Looking for some CEP developer support.I have a team of designers that uses a custom-built extension for AfterEffects. Previously they all used it on Macs with Intel chips. However, one designer got a new computer with the Apple M2 Max chip, and the extension shows up under Window > Extensions, but won't open anything when it is selected.What we've tried:Running in Rosetta mode: this did not change anything, the extension still won't openChanging the defaults: using this command in Terminal, this has previously worked on the Macs with Intel chips that ran into the same issue, however, this changes nothing on the M2 chip Mac.defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.13.plist PlayerDebugMode 1 && killall -u `whoami` cfprefsdRunning a different extension: AtomX (https://atomx.aniom.net/) is built similarly. I had the designer install this extension the same way we install our custom one, and AtomX opened up and showed correctly in AfterEffects. So it seems like the M2 chip can hand

Bonjour,Depuis quelques semaines, After effect se fait de plus en plus lent (De la prévisualisation, au workflow jusqu'à l'export sur MediaEncoder)... Et pourtant je suis sur un Mac Studio de dernière génération...J'ai eu le problême sur un projet particulièrement lourd, que j'ai alors transféré sur mon Macbook pro M1Et sur ce dernier, à ma grande surprise, workflow fluide, export en 15 secondes sur MediaEncoder.la seule différence (les extentions/plugins) que j'ai désintallé pour essayer mais ça ne change rien.Les deux en travaillant sur un SSD externe.Quelqu'un aurait une Idée/solution à mon problême ?Merci.

In the last few weeks, with the current and previous updates of AE, I've been experiencing regular crashes. I've become aware of a known bug with Nvidia drivers:helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/crashes-after-updating-nvidia-latest-driversBut this post is of little help. After Effects just can't seem to handle anything else running at the moment - even accessing an explorer window can cause AE to crash. I need a solution. Thanks,Isaac.

Sometimes when rendering an asset the kerning updates on every frame making the text flicker.

Link focus distance and set focus distance RMB menu options are greyed out after 23.3 update.The function is also unavalable via custom hotkey

Hi there,I've recently been having some strange issues regarding how colours are displayed in render views.I am working on a 2021 16-inch Macbook Pro with M1 chip using an LG Ultragear 34GL750 monitor.AE version: 23.0.0 (Build 59)OS: MacOS Monterey 12.6 When loading a project, what ever render viewers I have open will have over saturated colours. If I create a new render viewer then the colours in this one are correct, and when side by side you can see the difference, as shown below:  I am working in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colourspace in my project settings, but changing this doesnt fix the bug. It happens also if I just open the project on the built in macbook retina display.I figure it must be some bug to do with colour profiles, it just means I have to replace all my render viewers when I open every project or Im working with incorrect colours which is quite irritating.

When the After Effects window is above a certain size, it seems that timeline scrubbing becomes very jittery, as if the timeline needle is quickly jumping between the current and previous keyframes. Video attached.

This is my keyboard hardware* ISO105 with Latin American Layout*The keyboard layout included with After Effects for Spanish in the Visual Keyboard Shortcut Editor is not fully working for my setup, some keystrokes are not recognised or misinterpreted like when if I press "{" the Visual Keyboard Shortcut Editor shows an apostrophe or single quote (').I have After Effects 23.3.0 (Build 53) in English by preference and my OS (Windows 10) is in Spanish (es_MX) from méxico by default. Keyboard hardware is an HP 125 Wired Keyboard Model TPA-P001K with latin american layout.I have already tried the recommended steps covered by adobe's documentation for After Effects and spent some time chatting with their support team, 2 of them. The Adobe specialist recomendation was to change my languages and keyboards to english, and I did but it just worked because my keyboard hardware have keys that are not recognised by After Effects under the EN or ES keyboard layout. I need a Keyboard layout

Trying to change multiple Render Queue items Output file path sometimes changes all the other output file names to something like _.mp4 or _.mov (erasing all the comp names in the file name). You either have to rename all the output files manually (not practical for large batch renders). I've noticed that deleting all the Queued items after setting the directory, and then re-queueing serves as a work around.
