Hello everyone,When I am trying to open After Effects I get this screen. All Options are Greyed out. I spoke with Adobe Customer support and the told me that is Microsoft Issue because the program Opens correctly when I use another account. Anynone that has the same issue?

How bad is this software ?RTX 5090, Ryzen 9950x, 128g of RAM and your software goes to flame when showing a waveform.Mp3 or aiff, doesn't matter. 15 years I'm in motion design and it still happening.Is there a way to fix it or do we have to wait for your team to finally splash the cash on developers and remade this software from scratch ? 

I recently learned how to do a green screen replacement on AE using Mochae, it worked really well the first few times. It's super easy and efficient.BUT!Since then I haven't been able to save any new tracking data, I updated AE to the latest version, still doesn't work. On the right part of the screen I see the loading info saying "Saving 2%" and it disappears right away, failing.I really need to submit my video edit and make the green screen replacement!!!! Please help. I don't know what's wrong!

When I export a transparent video from After Effects, the .mov Quicktime file isnt playable. Here's what I'm doing:In AE ...File > Export > Add to render queueFormat = QuicktimeChannels = RGB + AlphaVideo codec = Animation When I try to preview the .mov file, I get an error message that says "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." Any ideas?

Hello,I was using CC 2018 with no issues, everything was working fine. But for the new cool features i wanted to upgrade to CC 2020. But I couldn't even try it because I can't import any kind of file. Each time it says"Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again. (86 :: 1)"And then "this .xx file is damaged or unsupported"These files work well with CC 2018 but CC 2020 doesn't accept them, tried different video formats, different codecs but it just keeps saying that. Solution provided here https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/ae-cc-error-86-1/td-p/9376397?page=1 didn't work also. What should I do? Is there something wrong with the installation of AE? Thanks in advance. 

Hi Everyone,I'm building a custom CEP panel for Adobe After Effects 2025 (v25.3) and facing an issue when executing .jsx scripts via csInterface.evalScript().On the first run after launching After Effects, when I click a button that triggers a script from the Scripts/ folder, I get the following error: Unable to execute script at line 5. Expected: ;Strangely, after dismissing the error popup, the script still runs correctly. And on all subsequent clicks (until AE is restarted), the script executes with no error.Why does this error only occur on the first execution after launching After Effects? 

i'm new to after effects and i want to render my composition. everything looks perfect when i preview in timeline but while rendering the clips i'm stuck with this error.please help

I am curently using a Mac, whenever I open After Effects(2024), the Menu Bar at the top disappears. The menu bar comes back when I click on other softwares or even the desktop, but quickly disappears when I go back to after effects, which is troublesome since I want to go to the Windows, Effects, and other tabs only available on the Menu Bar. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hi!Is there a way to set matte on layer with expression?

How can I remove the black man walk through the camera in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfsfp2T14zoat 0:17 to 0:19The black area occupied too much area, but the rest of the frames do not change much. 

I'm trying to recreate this timeline effect, but I can't work out how to make the text/shapes inverted inside of the TV box whilst also moving everything along. Also does anyone know how that blue hue is caused?  Here is the video at the time the effect takes place: https://youtu.be/W9mPEquFKKA?list=PLYvpAiMpY4V-xV3r4W3en4jTCHCDSdaoW&t=50  Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello! Based on the Documentation, I should be able to set the settings on the Output Module by doing: render_queue = engine.adobe.app.project.renderQueue render_item = render_queue.item(1) output_module = render_item.outputModule(1) output_module_data = { "Format": "QuickTime", } output_module.setSettings(output_module_data) print(output_module.getSettings().toSource()) However, when I try to set settings in this way, there is no effect. I saw there's a bug that causes "[the] OutputModule object to be invalidated after the output module setting is modified, so you need to retrieve the Output Module again after you modify it." I tried reselecting, but either way the setting does not seem to be modified. Can anyone help? 

I was having a regular problem where After Effects would freeze up my whole computer when I was switching to File Explorer to find footage to import. The whole screen would freeze, the mouse wouldn't respond, CTRL+ALT+DELETE did nothing and after a few minutes the screen would go white and eventually come back. Even when it did, AE would remain unresponsive and need to be restarted. It turned out there was a really simple solution which can be fixed in the Preferences. In the import section, uncheck "Enable Hardware Accelerated Decoding". It's requires a restart but after that, the problem hasn't reoccurred for me!

Not quite sure how to explain this as I am very new to After Effects so hope this makes sense! I used the rotobrush tool at the beginning of my project to remove the background of a video. It's been working really well until I removed a section of video from later in the project (not sure if this is the actual cause of the problem though) and now the rotobrushed section keeps jolting ahead of the video. Everything I've seen says this could be a problem with the frame rate but I haven't changed anything since it was working and the composition rate seems to be the same as the original.

Hola a todos, tengo actualizada la versión, lo reinstale varias veces probando configuraciones, pero aún no me funciona Cinema4D, me sale este error y se cierra el programa, por favor necesito su ayuda, la semana pasada si pude usar el Cinema4D sin problemas, desde la última actualización no, como puedo solucionarlo? gracias.

I have a lot of text layers. I have two expressions working but they're not working together. col = 0;row = index - 1;sl = thisComp.layer("CNTRL").effect("Text Size")("Slider");txt = footage("Use Cases.csv").dataValue([col, row]);text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(sl); So, if this expression ends with the "style.setFontSize" command, then it ignores the text that it pulls from the CSV and defaults to the set sourcetext. But if it ends with "txt" then it pulls in the proper text from the CSV, but I have no control over the Font Size. How can I get these two commands working together?  I've tried all sorts of rearranging. ChatGPT suggested this: USC = text.sourceText instanceof TextDocument ? text.sourceText : new TextDocument("");USC.text = txt;USC = style.setFontSize(sl);USC but I don't know what it's referencing thinking that this is viable. The "instanceof" and "new" commands aren't something I've ever been aware of and they're definitely not wo

Once I hit the spacebar the sequence keeps playing over and over and won't stop, even when Ihit the space bar or click on other parts of the project panel. I tried updating the application and it stopped for a bit but now it's still happening. Not sure what to else I can do. 

Buenos días, tengo problemas a la hora de aplicar efectos en alguna capa ya sea 2d o 3d. Le aplico a una capa un efecto pero no se ve, es decir modifico los parametros pero no hay cambios en la capa, por ejemplo aplico en una capa 2d efecto de resplandor para simular una luz y no se aplica. Probe descargando versiones anteriores a la de 2025 pero no logro encontrar una solucion. Me esta dificultando mucho ya que me inpide hacer trabajos y me limita a la hora de crear. Si alguien sabe que puede ser, gracias

These are precomps made from 23.976 fps footage. It looks fine at first, but once I restart After Effects, the timing becomes incorrect as shown below.This issue has existed since at least 2023, and likely earlier, but I only started using After Effects in 2022, so I can’t say for sure. Version of the app: 2025.3Platform and OS version: Windows 23H2Basic steps to reproduce the problem: Precomp a 23.976 fps clip in a 60 fps comp, save the project, then restart After Effects.

Why does my PC automatically restart while working in After Effects and Premier Pro?

I urgently need to us After effects 2025 but it will not open. My device meets the requirments to use After effects and all of the other adobe apps I have work fine e.g illustrator,photoshop,Premier pro but one day after effects stopped working. This was nearly 2 months ago The splash screen will load then disapper or The splash screen will glitch and not allow me to close it meaning I have to use task manager to close it - photo of the second outcome attached.  It gives me options to start in safe mode or reset prefernces but none of these options work and I do not have any plugins installed  I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled and even updated to the latest version v25.2.2 However even switching to older versions does not work. Here are my system specs - Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHzInstalled RAM 20.0 GB (19.8 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor I have even tried

so, I made a 20 seconds video, 1920x1080  I don't use any heavy effects, it is one of the "heaviest" effect and that's it. in the beginning, media encoder wrote 1-2 minutes as estimated time for render, but it's taking like 1 hour or more..  I built this PC for HEAVY Adobe use, PLEASE help
