After Effects

Hello, Issue Description:I have searched for this issue, tried multiple troubleshooting ideas, but cannot seem to find any similar issues or fixes that work.I press play in the preview buttonAE proceeds to cache all of the frames in my workspace (full green bar)The play icon is displayed but I see no playback/no audio, and timeline marker does not moveThe timeline marker just appears to freeze as shown below. You can see the preview status (square) acts as if it's playing, and all frames are cached, but the playback is just frozen.If I press the stop preview button, the timeline marker will jump back 1 frame specificallySee below screengrab from this frozen preview:It happens at any playback resolution (full/half/quarter/auto) and any location in my timeline.  The weird thing is I can get RAM preview to work properly upon my first initial startup of AE. Once I make more than a couple edits to my comp and try to preview though, the freezing playback issue occurs again. On

Plese help me

Never had this issue on my Windows 7 desktop, this is only on my brand new laptop running Windows 10... which should be a lot quicker and run AE better. Anyone else experience this? I press space bar, wait about five seconds and then the preview plays even if it is already loaded.Tried google and found nothing. This is on the latest version of AE but I'm using it for the first time on this computer. Specs: https://i.imgur.com/XpZmZfx.png It makes no sense to me because everything else is fast except this. Additional info: I'm using Mercury Software Only in settings if it matters. 500gb memory and disk cache are empty, purging affects nothing. Display drivers up to date. Working from local drives. Video footage is just small 1080p mp4 files recorded with OBS, so loading them is no problem once the video plays.

I want this object to follow same path it had before. By holding SHIFT key it is possible to have either vertical path or horizontal path. Is there any key to hold to follow same path it had before? file & video also attached.Same Path.aep

Hello community, 🙂  I am in a big rush and working on a restricted PC, so I cannot update my software right now. I need to open a 26 MB project file created in After Effects 2024 (v24.6.4), but my local version is CC 2021 (v18).Could someone with AE 2024 please open it and save it as a copy for CC 2023, and then from 2023 save it as a copy for CC 2021? I would appreciate it infinitely.Here is the WeTransfer link: https://we.tl/t-YiBzshhsuJsCn0TAThank you so much! 🙏🏻

My Roto Brush in version 26.5 simply doesn't work. I can't use any of the available versions. I can make the strokes, and sometimes even select the areas, but as soon as I move the cursor away, the markings disappear. If I freeze it, it processes, but nothing appears visually. It only creates an Object Matte in the layer, but I can't actually use it. I've tried searching for a solution but couldn't find anything. I've tried several fixes and different versions of Roto Brush, but nothing changes. It keeps behaving exactly the same way. My next step is to uninstall and reinstall After Effects, but if that doesn't work, I honestly don't know what else to do.

Security needs to improve. The forum is flodded with posts from an AI bot or a hacker.

After effects recently did an auto update and now I see the New viewer option is gone??This is a crucial funtion I need to see how my precomps update in the main comp.  Is this a mistake? Has it moved somewhere else?? After Effects 25.2.2 

After Effects 25.5 Crashes on launch. Splash screen launches but just a mere seconds after a crash window pops up. Splash screen never gets past “Initializing MediaCore”Crash Window always displays a different code or error. Latest one was this one. This is a fresh install of After Effects. No third party plug ins or preferences.I have the same problem with Illustrator. I already tried:Uninstall AE and Creative Cloud and do a fresh install (deleting all related adobe files from C:/) Using Adobe Cleaner Tool Using Adobe CC diagnostics tool (for some reason it only wants to diagnose troubles with premiere pro, which is not installed) Install another version Graphic Drivers are up to date Reinstalled Graphic drivers Windows is up to date (WIN 10) Restarted my PC several times Run as administrator  Installing Older BuildsMy PC specs areWindows 10 build 19045Nvidia GTX 1660 OCRAM 32GBAMD Ryzen 5 3600 (no integrated graphics so disabling GPU is not an option) I would appreciate any help you

We are designing a SmartFX GPU backend for After Effects on macOS using SDK 26.5 and Metal. We plan to use the host-provided command_queuePV, input/output GPU worlds obtained through SmartFX checkouts, and temporary GPU worlds allocated through PF_GPUDeviceSuite1::CreateGPUWorld.Our investigation has been limited to documentation and static code review; we have not executed GPU commands.Is the following sequence supported inside PF_Cmd_SMART_RENDER_GPU? Encode the required passes into an MTLCommandBuffer created from the host-provided Metal command queue, with appropriate resource retention. End encoding and call commit. Call waitUntilCompleted before returning from the callback. Inspect the command buffer's terminal status and error. Dispose of plugin-created temporary GPU worlds and check in input pixels. Return success only if execution completed successfully. We understand that commit does not establish completion. We also do not assume that Metal resource retention exten

why is it showing a effect, i promise u its not under or behind the comp or anything under that i promise u i checked everything, so why is this buggy thing showing, its been showing all around my edit can someone please help me fix this???? 

  It can be really frustrating when After Effects starts misbehaving. One of the most efficient ways to fix this is to reset After Effects preference files. Trashing preferences resets the program to its factory defaults.   Resetting preferences will undo most of your customization such as length of your default transitions, brightness of the user interface, labels colors, changes that you've made to your audio hardware settings and more. Some changes won't be affected though, such as changes that you've made to memory allocation for After Effects and other Adobe apps, new workspaces that you've created and some other stuff. It's worth noting that changes that you've made to existing workspaces (changes such as resizing panels and moving them) will be reset to defaults.   Preferences that you set for scratch disks, however, are saved with your projects. Whenever you open a project, it automatically defaults to the scratch disks you selected for it when you set up that p
