After Effects

I've created an animation and placed properties into Essential Graphics, like I've done numerous times in the past. When I click to Export Motion Graphics Template, I'm able to choose where to save, etc., and it looks like it runs its process (I don't get any errors), however, when I look in the location I exported to, it's not there. I do a search for the exact file name, but nothing comes up. I have also updated all of my software.

Hi, I'm looking to create an "infinite zoom" but it's just an endless loop of one location/scene. When I searched for tutorials and help on this, all I could find is a zoom through multiple scenes/images/locations, which is not what I'm looking for.  What I'm thinking of is something more like this :  I found an infinite hallway tutorial where you build a 3D box of sorts using a photo and perspective tools, but I don't know if I can do that with nature or city scenery like the above GIFs.

Im trying to create a sphere of spinning flat circles. Currently I am using CC ball action to achieve the current effect I have, which is the style I am trying to achieve. I would like the balls to appear in one at a time however, I'm open to using a different effect if I can achieve a similar style, but with them appearing in one a a time. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you!

How do you control the corner radius of a rounded rectangle box?

The previous version of After Effects, 24.0.3, is working fine. However, when I install version 24.3 (the latest version), I encounter an error message at startup: 'The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).' I've checked everything, including DLL files, .NET Framework, etc. I've even uninstalled using CC Cleaner and reinstalled it, but the issue persists. I also tried installing version 24.2 and 24.1, but they also produce the same error message. Surprisingly, version 24.0 is working without any issues. Can anyone help me understand why version 24.3 isn't working, while 24.0 is functioning properly?

I wonder if there is any hollywood movies or feature film (non-hollywood) that used after effects as a main VFX tool? 

Hello,Since the release of the 25.0 updates (25.01 to 25.1) for After Effects, I’ve noticed a significant slowdown in the user interface (UI). The preview performance is also extremely sluggish (see the video I recorded).I’ve tried several solutions to fix the issue:Completely uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects,Checking for updates (software and drivers), etc.Unfortunately, the only way to restore normal performance is to revert to version 24.0. I’m certain this isn’t a hardware issue, as it’s directly linked to the 25.0 versions.Have you encountered this problem or found a solution?Please upvote this post so that the support team can notice and fix the issue quickly.

Hi there, I can't click on Hue Saturation's Channel Range diagramm. I can adjust it only after I added the effect on the layer. But when I back to it to make some twicks the Channel Range became unclicable. I can't change anything anymore. The only way is to delet the effect and add the new one and make adjustments from scratch. Any way to fix that without downgrade or beta? I have an active project and a lot of plugins and scripts installed and can't lose time to set up everything again. Thanks AE 25.5.0 Build 4Windows 11

Hi!  I got accepted into a ae giveaway that had some presets. I had downloaded them and saved them to the “user presets” folder. I went to after effects to search for the user presets folder, but it wasn’t there. The whole file has seemed to disappear from ae. I was told to make a new folder on the program, name it user presets and save everything that was in the other file to the new one. But I can’t seem to figure out how to do that either. 

I have been trying to render in After Effects with various different file types. I tried media encoder as well. Both Crash. I'm using an external hd. Bought a new SSD USB C thinking the other drive may have been the issue. Still same thing. Can the Cache files be on the external hard drives or should they stay on the local drive?  

Hi guys i wanna know how to make this effect it's subtle and simple, the colorful background start from the center until fully revealed, you can see from the sample, it goes with some flash lights with some sort of randomness i think, could someone explain me how to achieve a similar result?  Sample here.

when I replace the file, it is deleted, it can only be replaced as an png image.

Hi, I'm trying to stretch keyframes for several effects at once so they're further apart but keep them proportionally separate. I'm able to do this sometimes by clicking "option" + clicking on my mouse and moving them, but then other times when I do that, it moves them all at once without stretching them apart. Is there a reason why that's happening? Here's a video below to show I'm talking about.  I'm currently using AE 25.5.0 Build 4 on a Macbook Pro - with Apple M4 Pro chip.  Thanks for your help!

It's so frustrating. After Effects keeps crashing.

Anybody have any ideas?  Thank you,Laz

Anyone know how to achive this kind of glow animated yellow thing at the background? And what called  

Hello,I am experiencing performance issues with Adobe After Effects everyday. AE is lagging significantly during use and while rendering, even when I am working in quarter resolution. Additionally, AE frequently crashes specially while rendering. System SpecificationsGPU: RTX 5070 TiRAM: 192 GB (yes 192GB)CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950XOS: Windows 11 ProStorage: 2x 2TB SSD NVMe + 2x 250GB SSD SATAThis issues with After Effects on my high-end PC that are impacting my ability to meet project deadlines. I recently upgraded from a MacBook Pro M3 to this high-end PC specifically to improve my After Effects workflow. However, I'm experiencing severe performance issues (even worse than on MacBook) that are impacting my ability to meet project deadlines.Rendering FailuresWhen attempting to render a medium-complexity 1.5-minute project, I have a 5070 Ti.

I do not want an error noise when I press the number keys when I have the 3c camera navigation unchecked. I do not use 123456 keys for navigation.Latest version of AE has started making a distorted error noise presumably to tell me that I am not using them as navigation. No 3d layers, classic or advanced 3d renderer. don't currently have other sound IO devices to check if it other hardware specific.

GPU acceleration (rocket ship icon) frequently disables and I'm finding myself turning it back on over and over again. I'm not sure why, but this has been happening for a good year or so with each AE release still showing up. I'm using an RTX-3080 ti with studio drivers that always remains up to date with Windows 11. I always choose cuda as the option and when it's on, runs smoothly. I'll be working on a project and randomly glace over at my roket ship and notice it's in the grey and has tripped like a breaker. I feel this is a bug, but if there are any other potential reasons, please let me know. Thanks!
