After Effects

Hello. When render starts it load my CPU about 30-50%. As soon as the Memory (RAM and memory of GPU) fills up, performance drops sharply. CPU load is 5-10%. Multiframe rendering stops working, render is on only one core, AE shows 2 fps, but truth is 0.2 fps. At this point, a lot of "Issuing Purge Request" and "Purge not freeing anything" messages appear in the AE console (AE has console!). This behavior is the same in all my projects.I am sure that the AE can render fast and use all the processor cores, but some problem prevents it from doing so.My PC: AMD Ryzen 5900x, GTX 1060 6Gb, 32Gb RAM, NVME SSDIn my projects I use Illustrator files and DUIK Plugin for character animation.I contacted the Adobe's support service for help, they worked remotely on my computer for 2 hours, but could not fix the problem.

Hey everyone, Hope all is well. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this.I'm having a very particular problem. Ive been importing objects in and out of AE and into Preimere. Suddenly after reopening the premiere project (that was closed for 15 minutes) that has one of my objects in it, it now comes with a green line all around almost like a stroke of some sort. I thought it was some sort of corruption so I re-rendered out but now it happens everytime! No matter the object in the preview theres no green line, then when rendered or brought into another application there it is. Now it even happens to the exported video with no other application. This wasnt happening less than a couple hours ago.  The only thing I've been changing is Video Coden from Apple prores 422 to Animation or Apple ProRes 4444.  Attached are some screenshots of what I'm talking about even looks like. Would appreciate the help!   

I have an h.265 video that has random exposure flickering when imported and played.  it does not matter how it is interpreted or whether it is placed in a timeline or not.  Very small amounts of exposure change, but when crunched and viewed on a scope become quite apparent.  I was able to temporarily work around it by getting a 4444 video from Resolve. using AE 23.2.1windows 10 

705505Good afternoon. I have different color in AE viewport and in macOS environment. Or did AE stop understanding the (1-1-1) tag when importing and exporting?The situation is as follows, I have an old iMac Late 2012 with an external Dell U2719D monitor, it has mojave 10.14.6 and AE 2021 (18.4.1) installed. Projects always had Woking Color Space - None, and when outputting video in 422HQ codec, always had the tag (1-1-1). Accordingly, what I saw in the AE viewport always matched what I see in QT, Yotube, iPhone…Now I bought myself a new MBP 16 M1Pro, Monterey 12.6.3 and am using AE 23.2.0. If I work as before, Woking Color Space - None, then my picture is different from the MacOs environment. At first I thought it was because my MBP16 has a wider color gamut, but I checked with an external Dell U2719D monitor, same thing.I tried to change the project color to HD709-A, enabled interpret footage HD709-A, also enabled use display color managment HD709-A. But then I experience various dif

I'm on a brand new Mac Pro M1 and AE 2023 is killing me with the CONSTANT "Low memory" warnings. I see an earlier post saying that an update was supposed to fix it but it has not. It also said that anyone still getting this "low memory" warning should start a separate post for troubleshooting - so here's mine.  This is destroying my work life as I battle this AE bug as I try and meet my deadlines. Can someone please help?  I'm using AE 23.2.1  Model Name: Mac mini  Model Identifier: Mac14,12  Model Number: Z170000G8LL/A  Chip: Apple M2 Pro  Total Number of Cores: 10 (6 performance and 4 efficiency)  Memory: 32 GB  System Firmware Version: 8419.80.7  OS Loader Version: 8419.80.7  

Hello Team,I am creating a 16480 x 90 px LED stadium video for 30 seconds, 30 frames/sec and trying to save as an mp4. When rendering with Media Encoder 2023, the H.264 mp4 exports as 16384 x 84 px by using "Match Source". I cannot see any other options to get the exact 16480 x 90 px size. BUT when I pre-render and create an ".mov" file, it comes up exactly as 16480 x 90, but the file is 1.02 GB versus a 38 MB mp4.Would you guys have a solution and have thoughts on why the .mp4 export decreases to 16384 x 84 px. I'm thinking about creating a 16576 x 96 px working file just to see if it'll size down to 16480 x 90. Please let me know when you have a moment. Thank you. - Jason

I was writing an expression using the 3D Point Control effect and noticed that certain input values get approximated, including a long string of decimals.  This becomes problematic when trying to use the effect in expressions that perform operations on the value (i.e. the modulus of the 3D Point Control value).  This only seems to be certain values of 3D Point Control effect and also the Point Control effect.   

Something I've just noticed about AE2023. Used to be, if you were editing an AI file whose layers were open in AE, AE wouldn't lock it and would just update whatever layers it was using. (The exception was if Premiere was also open and the AE comp was in Premiere's timeline.)I just noticed that even without Premiere open, an AI file I'm working on says it can't save the illustration while its layers are open in AE2023, but the second I close AE, it saves just fine.AE2021 and AE2022 didn't do this, and I don't think I've seen this from AE2023 until recently. Is this something anybody else has seen?

Greetings,I find myself with a rather difficult situation to workthrough and could use whatever advice anyone is willing to give.  After Effects will open and when I import an image and drop it into a new composition the comp becomes frozen. I can close the window and open it back up but the lines around the image are still there. When I close the program and attempt to re-open nothing happens. If I attempt to uninstal the program after this happens Adobe alerts me that After Effects must be closed before uninstalling. If I open task manager to verify that it is not open After Effects is not listed amongst the running applications. Here are my specs. This is a brand new build.  Windows 11 ProIntel i7 13000KF (Includes Intel UHD) 64 GB DDR42 TB Samsung M.2. SSDAMD Radeon WX3200 4GB After Effects 23.2.1 

When I start the program it just crashes and won't start, any actions suggested to solve the problem don't help. Nvidia video card.

Hey, I have this issue since the new version of After effects.In this case I use multipass exr files. And when I extract them and want to look at them the program doesn't update the viewer. I can scroll through the timeline and my camera/nulls are moving but the viewer doesn't update and keeps the same image on display.This is unworkable.The only fix is to restart after effects but in many cases when turning a layer on or off the same thing happens and the viewer freezes again...Let me know if this is a problem happens to more people so that this can be adresses. I think it is absurd for the amounts of times this app did not work correctly. It should be possible to stop the moneyflow to adobe at these times. This costs me money and problems.

I have embedded (using Adobe Dynamic Link) a premiere sequence in AE. After adding animations, I had to go back to premiere to edit the sequence a bit. When I go back to AE, visually, I can see the edit that I made reflecting in AE, but there is no audio. I've tried just about everything to get it back...but the only thing that seems to work is I have to close the AE project, and open it back up again. Then the audio plays fine. It seems like the video is updating in AE when I make a change to the embedded sequence in Premiere, but the audio does not sync...in fact it drops out completely until I close and then reopen the AE project. Then it is totally fine. Am I missing something obvious, or is this a bug?

I have this Comp, where on render time, Ae is saying "1 footage file required... is missing".But Ae does not tell which footage file. It would be really appreciated if it could give us a hint of the missing file. (Or a hyperlink to the project entry, of a search button to replace it directly)

Wish I could be more specific, but as of recently, seems within this project I'm working on that 2023 attempts to open a file, throws two errors, and then decides the file is corruptable and needs to be saved, while then opening the "corrupted" file as a (converted) file is automatically saves. "After effects error: error attempting to duplicate a text Object. Skipping the text later. (76::53)""your project file is apparently damanged (skipped sectoins: 1) Please save using  a different name. (26::0)"Unfortunately I can't just make a new project from scratch as this is client related AE proj that needs to be duplicated into different languages, but since it just saves a back up converted file I'm not completely lost. Just wondering if anyone else is experience this really odd behavior. I'm using a very simple number counter expression, but I think the "error attempting to duplicate a text object" might be related to the Overlord plugin in some way I don't understand. Wil

Hi. I regularly work with data files in Adobe's MGJSON format. I have detected a problem where large numbers are constrained to a lower limit in certain situations. Take this minimal file example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r2pocu067skwgx6/mgjson.mgjson?dl=0(by the way, shouldn't this forum accept uploading MGJSON files?) Any large data values are constrained to 32768 or less. You would think this is just the largest number AE can read, but if we tweak the data outline and define a slightly different legal range, the values are read correctly:- Changing the minimum legal value to 0 fixes the issue- Adding a decimal point and a zero to the min and max legal values also fixes itI'm not sure why AE needs to know the min and max values. I was just using the max value that can be repredented in a JSON file, but from now on I thin I will use the min and max occuring values to try and avoid this bug.

When I start the After Effects CS6 version, I get errors like in the picture. I would appreciate it if you could help.

I'm an After Effects user of 20 years, and I have never experienced this one. Essentially I cannot preview anything! Simple text animations (preview set to 1/16 res) will not playback in real-time. Dropping an HD 30fps video into a new comp also doesn't playback in real-time, despite having no effects applied. I have a pretty decent machine - specs below. And yes, I've tried dumping the cache, restarting AE/my machine and all other obvious troubleshooting protocols.  OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.19045 Build 1904511th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 64,0 GBNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Adobe has been failing hard in recent years. After Effects is the only product that Adobe makes that no-one else does. Common devs of the world - make an alternate AE so we can kiss Adobe goodbye once and for all.

I just updated my MP (Late 2013) macOS to 12.6.3 so i could then update 2023 (23.0 and above) versions of AE and PRE but both installs in the CC app have failed.  Is there a compatibility issue here with a MP this old? thanks  

I'm not sure what is happening here. Every time I add something into the composition, e.g, a photo, effect, ect. The comp window freezes. Although, I am able to access all features of AE while this occurs. Even scrolling increases or decreases the magnification or minimization of the project, yet it remains frozen. When I close AE it crashes and cannot be re-opened without restarting the computer. I really suspect it may be a graphics issue but my GPU is supported and up to date. This problem occured after some use with this new build buat initialy everything worked fine.  Here is what I have done. - Removed and Updated drivers- Uninstalled Re-installed AE and AE 22.1- Looked for bugs or errors in Windows 11- Reinstalled OS My Comp Specs are OS Windows 11CPU i7 13000KF (Intel UHD 700)Discrete GPU AMD Radeon WX3200 4G64GB RAM DDR42T Samsung Evo SSDI scrolled here and quit the program and as you can see the Comp is now much larger. The program however is now

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well. Can anyone please please help me sort the below? I tried to delete the software, downgrade and it's still not working, it works fine on my friends windown computer but no longer works on my machine (Macbook) which is where I started the project initially. The alert code is down below, if anyone could help me or knows a fix that would be great!
