After Effects

When I render a Cinema 4d scene to ProRes4444 (16 bpc, including alpha), some renders are not recognized in the Adobe ecosystem - After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder. Those apps simply say: ‘Could not open source file. Please check that file exists withcorrect permissions. ( 86 :: 1)’, and then ‘After Effects error: file '[filename].mov' cannot be importedthis 'Moov' file is damaged or unsupported.’ Premiere Pro says: ‘We were unable to open the file on disk.’ Other apps can import/play it without complaints - DaVinci Resolve Quicktime Player, Elmedia Player, Final Video Player, VLC, Does anyone encounters the same? Is there anyone who has a solution (other than workarounds)?

Howdy. I'm running a MacBook Pro 15, M4 with 48gb Ram, running Sequoia 15.7.1. Using the latest version of AE. I've had a project file stop loading randomly and will not load past 94% and AE stops respondng. I get no indication as to an error message or if a file is not working. I sent this file to another user and file can be opened on their machine but not on the original machine. I have just rebuilt the project again yesterday only for it to happen again this morning after I finished it. When I opened the Premiere project to render the beds the screens were blank so I opened AE to check and low and behold the same issue occured again. The first time it happened I re-installed AE, disabled all plugins and in safe mode, I have cleared the cache, I have doubled it's allocated ram from 12mb to 24mb and I've tried to open it in another new project to no avail. It's only this project though. I can open other projects so far no problem. I am running the 'Parallax' Plugin Script in thi

Dear Adobe Teams, I am developing custom filters for After Effects and Premiere Pro using the official Adobe SDK. From time to time, to prevent output artifacts such as flickering in the rendered sequence, I need to implement temporal smoothing—for example, combining results from consecutive frames. From my understanding, both AE and Pr use a multi-threaded rendering engine, meaning that my Render function may be invoked simultaneously for multiple frames in the sequence (meaning called from number of host threads). Could you please confirm if this assumption is correct? If so, I would like to know whether there is any mechanism or guarantee that Render calls are executed in frame order (i.e., frame 1, frame 2, frame 3, … frame N). This is critical for implementing temporal smoothing correctly, as it requires combining results from frame N with those from frame N-1. Specifically: Can I safely assume that the SDK will invoke Render in sequential frame order? When processing of frame N i

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enZMbIQCk68At 0:38, is there any way to do this with after effects? I tried repeater, but can't seem to randomize this color change.

I saw this video and that effect was stunning and I tried to use Pixel Sorter because it was the only effect I was thinking about but wasn't a close result.

My 3D tracker is not working after two days of troubleshooting including completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program twice.  My 2020 128 GB mac is up to date as well as all of my Adobe software.  I have referenced every youtube video on how to 3d track/troubleshooting 3d tracking and I don't see any missed steps.  I've expereinced with various footage assumed to be best suited for tracking.  The footage I am most recently using is the the Adobe footage I downloaded form the Adobe's latest version of After Effects 'Classroom in a Book'.  It's the footage form the chapter that covers 3d tracking so, I assume at the very least this footage would track.  After analyzing track marks will appeaer but always in the same spot no matter what the scene or footage is.  Then those track marks stay in the same spot as if stuck to the camera lens as you scroll though the shot opposed to sticking to one spot in the scene as the camera pans through.  An

It looks like using the RED importer with MFR ends up using all RAM available. This is AE 2025.5 on Windows with 32GB RAM although it seems to happen on systems with more memory and longer clips as well. Create a comp containing RED footage (8K is a good test)Turn on MFRNote setting for RAM reserved for other applicationsAdd comp to render queue and render in AESystem RAM will reach 100% and system will slow down due to swapping. This is not occur with MFR off. Increasing RAM reserved for other applications doesn't help. Switching to Software Only doesn't change anything. This does not seem to occur with other importers, e.g MP4 files. Increasing RAM servered for other 

Hi,  I have many compositions in my files, some are working fine. saome shows errors.1. AGM internal  Error : Out of bounds(83:2).2. unknown BIB error agm internal : out of bounds (83::3)  I am using AE 2020, in windows 10.  it would be greatfull if you will help me to resolve this issue.  Thanks

I a'm still fighting with AE,  It bearly sees my face and it decides to crashes.My laptops is a Victus,AMD Ryzen 7  8845HS w/ Redom 780M GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU I a'm already not useing any plugings, and it still crashes.  

It's objectively, measurably slower.  It just seems a strange choice to actively make something worse. 

For some reason, ever since I have started working in AE, I have sturggled profusely to get AE to work functionally in conjunction with Premiere pro. I am not sure if it is a dynamic linnk error, or a program error in AE, but it seems to be that the issue is only most prominent when trying to work in a combhined workflow. However, the app will crash excessively even when working exclusively in AE. My problems are listed below. As reference I usually create and store program files on an external drive. 1. Slow operation and run time that does not allow me to interact or rename files when i prompt premiere to "replace with AE Comp"2. AE crashes randomly when selecting to add a new adjustment layer, composition, or sequence, and lags heavily with lengthier commands. (My RAM is not an issue)3. I cannot add adjustment layers or solid layers without the UI blacking out partially and most of the HUD becoming unavailable.4. My resoultion in preview menus will randomly from to like 1/8 wit

Hallo,ich möchte die 3d Funktion von After Effects nutzen,dabei versuchte ich 3d Modelle (obj, gltf) in AE zu importieren, was aktuell bei mir nicht funktioniert.Ich nutze die Aktuelle Version von AE -> After Effects Version 24.2.1Beim Import wird mir folgende Fehlermeldung angezeigt: "3d MODEL FOR USE WITH TRAPCODE" Die Spracheinstellung für After Effects ist bei mir auf "Deutsch" gestellt.Ändere ich die Spracheinstellung von "Deutsch" auf "Englisch" funktionert der 3d-model-import einwandfrei.Wann wird dieser Bug gefixt bzw. wie kann ich diesen Fehler "3d MODEL FOR USE WITH TRAPCODE" beheben.Das Problem liegt meiner Meinung nach an Adobe/After Effects. Mit Besten GrüßenMario ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translated with DeepL.com:Hello,I would like to use the 3d function of After Effects,I tried to import 3d models (obj, gltf) into AE, which is currently not working for me.I am usin

I have been having issues with my graphics. Problems that have manifested include the composition panel appearing black in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, pattern preview not showing in Photoshop, and Photoshop crashing when I use the liquify filter on RGB mode (on CMYK, it says "Liquify is capable of utilizing the graphics processor on RGB files to increase preformance. The color mode you have chosen will not utilize the graphics processor" and works just fine). Right now, I am most concerned about fixing the black composition screen in After Effects, but fixing this will likely resolve the other issues. These things have never worked before, so it is not a case that they have suddenly stopped working. I would like to learn After Effects, but not being able to see the video is obviously a roadblock (I did make sure content was on the timeline). I have previously reached out to Adobe and NVIDIA support, but neither of them were able to fix the issue. I wanted to try asking the com

So  I am learning the software by watching YouTube. I made a mogrt that was a smooth logo spin in 4k.  I wanted to know if I was looking to make 2 4k and 2 HD with 30 and 60  frames, would I be able to do it in one project or would I have to make one for each? Thank you.

I want to create my own CEP plugin for After Effects 2025 that will use the scripting API, but I have never built plugins before.To start, I’m trying to create a simple test plugin with minimal logic — for example, swapping selected layers inside a composition.Following advice from GPT, I set up the suggested folder structure:- myTestPlugin/- index.html- main.js- style.css- CSXS/- manifest.xmlI placed this plugin folder into the following directory (Windows 11):C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\ After restarting After Effects 2025, the plugin did not appear.I expected it to show up under Window > Extensions (Legacy) inside After Effects. Could you please guide me on the correct way to set up and create a basic CEP plugin for After Effects 2025?Am I missing any important steps (such as enabling debug mode, setting manifest version, or signing the extension)?Thank you very much!

IssueWhen using Protected Region Markers on a composition, zooming into the timeline causes a UI bug where the highlighted marker section overlaps into the left-side timeline panel (layer controls). Steps to ReproduceCreate a new composition.Add a Protected Region Marker to the composition.Add at least one layer in the timeline.Zoom into the timeline and scroll horizontally.Observe the protected marker highlight behavior when scrolling. Expected ResultThe protected marker highlight should follow timeline scrolling but remain confined to the timeline area. It should not overlap into the left-side sections of the layer controls, such as Parent & Link, Track Matte, Mode, and Source Name. Actual ResultThe protected marker highlight shifts incorrectly and overlaps into the left panel of the timeline, covering UI sections like Parent & Link, Track Matte, Mode, and Source Name... Screen Recording / ScreenshotVideo Example Adobe After Effects Version: v25.

Hey I'm wondering if anyone has advice for me.I'm a beginner, working on animating an illustrator file. I'd like to use the write on effect for some of the layers. It worked for one layer, but when I double click the next layer in after effects, it doesn't open the layer??I'd appreciate any help

Something that has started bugging me a lot is that I noticed that moving audio files removes your cached preview data. It seems like they are consolidated into single cache files? This makes it really painful to edit audio timing because every time you move it you need to rerender the composition.   Please make audio independent of video preview data so we do not have this issue.

Help, I cannot start Mocha Ae all of a sudden, and every time I try, I get this message. Immediately after hitting OK, Ae crashes. Error message:I have reinstalled, after effects and removed plugins. I did the same for premiere pro for good measure. I tried switching to open cl from cuda, I tried not using hardware at all. I tried installing a trial of MochaPro and that works. I did run in command prompt: sf/scan now. That didn't resolve the issue. I have no way of only reinstalling MochaAE as it is bundled with Ae. I cannot even open Mocha Ae to clear the cache, I cannot find instructions as to where the cache is online to manually clear it. SYSTEM:MSI Raider GE78 HX 13VProcessor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13950HX (2.20 GHz)Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)NVIDIA GeForce  RTX 4080 Laptop GPUSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor 

when is the new update is going to take place in the stable version. Its great but the dissapointment of the latency of the masking tool in premiere beta didn't take place in the stable one is a little annoying. I know you can tell me  " then Get the BETA ! ". but its a little diffrent than the stable one and i need to work in a stable environment so i am sticking with the stable versions even when i need the features of the beta>for example i am still using the rortoscoping tell premiere getting the update.So if you know or guessing When is it going to take place ?
