After Effects

Hi,My After Effects project takes 11minutes to render out in h.264 1080p but takes 60 minutes to render the full 4K ProRes 422HQ version.Is this normal? I'm running AE on a Mac Studio Ultra with 128GB of Ram. When rendering, AE displays that it's only using 1% of RAM.I thought the Mac Studio Ultra had a h.264, h.265 and ProRes decode and encode accelerators. Is After Effects only hooked up to the h.264 accelarator? Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to use the Roto Brush for the first time. When in 'Layer', I selected the area, and once pressed the space bar - it took forever to render...and didn't show any progress. please see attached pic. Any suggestions?... View more

I've been having trouble rendering the entire week at this point and the weirdest issues. I'm doing compositing with larger files ~4.5K and for the most part, it is all working and previewing until I hit render.  At one point it took about 30 minutes to render out a png sequence of 63 frames of just the footage without any effects. I put the same footage in media encoder and the entire clip of ~170 frames rendered in about 5min... When I hit render a few potential things happen:1. It starts to render, but after a few frames, it hangs forever, and I have to kill AE process. 2. It loops indefinitely on preparing render.3. AE crash or blue screen The bluescreen codes were always VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL and it was always dxgmms2.sys indicating a gpu/driver related issue. But what ultimately ended up working was disabling hardware accelerated GPU scheduling & reinstalling AE and all my plugins. My system: Ryzen 7 2700x32gb ram ddr4RTX 208

Hi everybody, I’ve got some ram preview issues or black screen preview in Ae 23 on a large project on M1 Mac.IssueRAM preview only 2 frames with error message about the insufficient memoryIf I import another project into that project, the preview screen stays eternally black (and if I save the project in that state, I’m doomed)—> I can no longer work / create new animation in that project because I have no way to preview them (of course I can export a render animation to look at it but it’s slow and erase the history which is complicated for going back on adjustments)—> I need to create new animation in that project! Adobe After Effects version numberVersion 23.2.1 (Build 3) Operating systemMacOS Ventura 13.2.1 // MacBook Pro 14" M1 Max 64Gb RAM 10 core CPU 32 core GPU The project specificitiesMy project is large (1.88 Go file), with many comps, reasonable number of layers in it and many, many expressions.

A particular File is in question. When I began altering a specific template file, that was rendering fine up until a certain point, it began freezing upon the first second of RENDER. I am not able to get the file to Budge past 1% and it hangs completely, no time lapses. Used Media Encoder and A simple AE render...NADA! FROZEN! I tested to see if I accidentally altered any scripting on the template causing some weird chain reaction, any effects causing errors or plugins could be hung up..deleted some...simple process of elimination. No matter what I delete...the file refuses to Render ( but I get no errors otherwise ). When I open another project, No matter how detailed or simple...it Renders fine, and quick. SO, the issue remains with this particular file. I cannot Share the file as it is a work for hire situation. But I can screenshot some elements here and there.  ( THE PROJECT DOES CONTAIN A FAIR USE OF MAXON /RED GIANT PLUGINS...I ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE ISSUE WITH THOSE

Hi there!For some reason I can't change some letters to capital version. I used Poppins Bold Font, which i used before in another Adobe programs, without problem. If I try to change it manually (with the shift button) the font changes into Times New Roman. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?(the problematic letters are c, i, s and z, After Effects 2023 version, fully updated, OS is Windows 10 pro)

Hello! I am having issue with my After Effects. This prompts up whenever another user send me his/her After Effects file. I have tried deleting my caches, reinstall After Effect and restarting my Mac. But this still happens. Does anyone have the similar issue?

Hello, When trying to export from AE via AME (or render queue) I get a black screen. Audio comes out clean.My computer is an old Macbook Pro running on 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 with 16GB RAM and Nvidia Gefore GT 750M 2GM. My specs are on the minimum req bracket, but since I can edit fine I don't understand why the exports now after the upgrade don't work.I can see in AME that it doesn't even generate a preview.My workaround for the moment is exporting an image sequence that I import back in Quicktime.I've tested the same project on a iMac with the same versions of AE and AME and have no problems. So it's not a bug in may layers. Help much appreciated!  PS. I've reinstalled. I've cleared the cache. I've tried rendering in Hardware and Software, allocated more Ram, I've tried copying the project pasting to another comp. I've tried other projects, other comps. Nothing.  

I'm working with a new PC where I've literally doubled everything compared to my previous system in my attempt to avoid this exact situation, (RAM went from 64 gigs to 128 gigs, and upgraded graphics card from 2080 ti (11 gigs) to a 4090 (24 gigs), and a project I'm working on that involves pretty basic compositing is running out of memory either on the GPU or my system memory. The odd thing is I feel like I've done more complicated comps on the older system without this being as much of an issue. any suggestions? I have cleared memory and disk cache, disabled my other monitors, disabled effects like neatvideo and lumetri. the only non first-party app I'm using is Maxon/Red Giant Supercomp which I hope isn't the issue since I'd have to basically restart from scratch

Hi! When I go to File > Dependencies > Collect files, it always collets the entire project regardless if I select th ereduce option. I see this has been an issue since 2021, and in that post, it's been an issue for "years". https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/dependencies-collect-files-not-working/m-p/12225824#M177680If you're not going to fix the feature for this long, why not just remove the checkbox?

My after effects doesn't work after update. I have this message :  after effect cannot continue: Unexpected failure when starting the application. I can't understand the problem I work on macOS Catalina and normally it should work with After effects (22.0) Help please 

Motion Sketch does not play audio when capturing. This used to work -- what happened?

Hi All,  I'm currently running AE v23.2.1, (build 3) and have downloaded the most current version of VC Saber available from their sight (Jan 2023). My issue is this: In some scenes, I am seeings vertical banding lines being rendered when the saber plugin is turned on. I have not been able to replicate the issue continuously. It only shows up occationally. I have attached a screen shots for reference:OriginalSaber banding I've changed every option I can think of in Saber, but nothing works to remove it. My only option is to restart the AE file from the beginning which is not a resonable option at all. The first time I noticed this happeneing was in Nov 2022. I thought it had something to do with the footage being too bright and that was somehow causing Saber to blow out the screen causing the banding, but this current scene I am working on is conciderably darker.Has anyone else encoutered this issue?  

When exporting a comp from AE as a Prores Quicktime file through ME, the timeline markers are only SOMETIMES embedded in the video file. I don't know how to reproduce it, because within the same project file, one comp exports with the markers embedded as another comp, with the exact same settings, does not. Totally randomFor the time being it seems to work when I export from the AE internal renderer AND export straight on the disk; not in a folderAE version 23.2.1Win 10 64-bit

Running into an issue with a 3D composition to preview render very slowly at every resolution, and also am not able to export render from either the render queue or Media Encoder. I tried to lower preview resolution to Quarter resolution and still had issues with the preview lagging as well, but still was able to successfully get a preview render that would work. The primary problem is simply being unable to export whatsoever. I tried turning off layers and shortening the length of the composition but still had the same problems. The composition that I'm trying to render is very short, only about 6 seconds. It is a scene with multiple lights, and 2 cameras.When I go to export, the loading bar stays blue and does not give any information as to elapsed time or render time. This is not after effects crashing, as I am still able to stop the render. I have tried every typical solution, i.e. clearing cache, switching off GPU acceleration, sending to Media Encoder, switching layers off, pre-r

Use the template below to provide us with information: Issue - ACES - view transforms do not work when a comp is nested.Adobe After Effects version number - 23.2.1 (Build 3)Operating system - Windows 10Steps to reproduce - Set the project settings to OCIO color managed. Config - ACES 1.2 Working space - ACES/ACES - ACEScg, Display color space - ACES/Rec.709.Import footage (I'm using a mix of sources) tag them appropriately using interpret footage.Create a comp using say Rec.709 footage. The comp will look correct because the footage has been interpreted correctly and the view transform is set to ACES/Rec.709.Nest the comp.Expected result - The pre-comped footage should respect the view transformActual result - The view transform no longer works. You can only see ACES. Setting to other view transforms has no effect. Note: the rendered output seems to be ok, but you cannot preview the work correctly within After Effects.

Hello! I'm having a problem creating Motion Graphics Tamplate in AE. When I open it in Premiere, MOGRT is "Media Offline". When I unziped mogrt file, I realised that it's .json file only. It must be .aep file in it, but it's not. I have been looking for a solution on the forum for a long time, tried to change the location of the file, reinstalled the program, but nothing helped. Even basic templates with just a title in it doesn't work. Everything worked great before. I'm at a dead end.Windows 10All soft is up to date

Hi currently when you have no gpu enabled so mercury software only the image stretches in After Effects...When you apply lumetri color to an layer https://i.gyazo.com/ecb3ee8d479bcc41db88d4dc69417b9a.mp4Video example hereEven with all of the Lumetri color effects disabled it still distorts it.Its a jpg picture in a 1920x1080 AE comp. With 46% scale since the image is 4k by 6k.  A way to fix this is to enable the gpu, but this is an half solution and doesnt fix the problem. M1 Max, 64GB, AE 23.2.1 build 3 Please fix, Much love,Dierenwinkel

Hi,I ve just realized that the updateParamUI function in the suite paramsuite3 is slower in AE 2023 (tested on 23.2.1), especially when changing the name of a parameter during updateParamUI command.When is set, the parameter become slower to react when user interact with.The alternative using streamSuite to change the name is working normally.

Hello all. This is going to take a bit of explaining... I am a motion graphics artist for a live events company. I often build graphics for live shows and export them for playback. For the most part, we use Millumin or sometimes Resolume. COVID happened a while ago, so our live events didn't really happen that much. That said, recently, we started regularly doing shows again, and I have been going to shows and doing playback with Millumin. 2 shows ago, I was getting video files from several seperate production houses, all of which didn't listen to me and gave me MP4's instead of prores files. That was fine, because I would just turn them into prores files for playback reasons. I had so many color issues that I had to put fades on everything so people wouldn't see the brand colors shift. At the time, I was calling for the heads of the production houses for not knowing how to put in a stupid hex code. The last show I did, same issue. I got files from a production house, bu

Hi everybody! I am having these warnings when I startup After Effects. This warning also shows up when I start up the Beta version of After Effects. I found one solution: installing Visual Studio, but that did not work. Does anyone else have these warnings or a solution to this problem? Thanks,Willem
