After Effects

Hi, I've basically been given two different illustrations where the strokes are curved differently, and trying to find a way to animate between the two. I can accomplish that by keyframing the path of the first stroke, then copying the path of the second stroke, and pasting it further down the timeline. However, when it's transitioning, there are some sharp corners that form, that don't really fit the fluidity of what I'm going for. I'm guessing this is in part because the first path has more points than the ending path. Is there any way to remedy this besides going in manually and adjusting the anchor points? Some sort of smoothing method?Thank you. 

Issue - When I animate the "amount" property for turbulent displace, when the effect is applied to a layer, the layer snaps to a transformed (literally position and scale) state exactly when the interpolation finishes. Steps to reproduce -  Apply Turbulent displace to a layer in a comp that is readied to be exported as a MOGRT from essential graphics. Animate the "amount". This happened for any values I tried, but lately I've been trying from 50 to 0 over about 1 second. Easing didn't seem to change anything. Export the comp as a MOGRT Place the MOGRT in a timeline in Premeire Pro v25. The CTI won't reproduce the error, but when you scrub, play in the timeline, render the clip, or export media, the glitch will occur. Expected result - A nice, wavy effect.Actual result - The layer will fly off into an unpredictable transform change. It will sometimes shift over, and sometimes disappear (I assume just out of view).Adobe Aft

Bunun Çözümü NEDİR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When using the Roto Brush effect, 'Reset' should initialize the effect to the state it was when applied to a layer for the first time. But unfortunately it does not. Reproduce:Choose the Rotobrush tool, start painting on footage. Hit reset. See how the paint strokes still remain.

This is a very simple and straightforward composition with simple effects like levels and only keyframes of scale and position. It was doing okay the previous day and then one time I purged all memory & disk cache then this happened. I'm only having problem with this project. What seems to the problem?PC Specs:PROC: AMD Ryzen 7800X3DGPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti SUPERMOBO: AORUS ELITE WIFI7RAM: 64GB (4X8GB CORSAIR DDR5)

I imported an illustrator file into Aftereffects and then noticed I needed to make some adjustments (these adjustments were mainly putting shapes into new groups so that I could manupulate them in Aftereffects better.)I have live update enabled in Aftereffects , so after I finished my adjustments I clicked save on the Illustrator file. When I went back to Aftereffects, I saw that the shapes I placed into the new groups were gone completely, and only the old groups remained. I tried looking in the composition and the file layers in imported files column, but no luck. Reload footage seems to be disabled.  Is there any way to fix this? I know a quick fix would be to re-import the scene, but I want to know for the future in case I'm deep into a project and have to do this without reseting the transforms and layering done within Aftereffects.

this is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6ZZqTMI mainly play games but its 10x better than my low end old pc but ae seems to be slower. Preview takes long time to load even with simple effects like twixtor.

Hi everyone;In After Effects, how can I make a layer in one composition follow the change of this property: comp("Master_1").layer("Mask").content("Ellipse_2").content("Ellipse Path 1").size …but start from the beginning of its own composition, instead of syncing to the timeline of “Master_1”?Basically, I want the “size” animation to play from the start, regardless of where the follower’s timeline currently is. Thanks! 

I got a simple animation of a shape layer that moves into frame and its size is controled by sliders on its layer and also a couple of sliders on a "ctrl" layer as well. The feature I'm implementing at the time is to have a image file to be masked by this shape layer and also move along staying perfectly centered using sourceRectAtTime();. (this part I removed from my files for simplicity sake) But this image kept moving in weird pattern and on a uncalled time. I got a text layer checking for the values for the sourceRectAtTime(); and for some reason the animation I did from 0 to 10f is not accounted untill the playhead reaches the 1 second mark.that looks like a bug to me. I removed everything else but the things that are essencial for this layer to work. Tested on AE 25.5.0 (build 4) and AE 24 24.6.4(build 3)

In Photoshop I can copy a flat grayscale image with no transparency and paste it into the layer mask to create a mask from that image. Is this somehting that can be done in After Effects with masks?  Basically like this gif, only the ref would be the video  

So let me preface this by stating that I am an utter and complete noob.  I've been tasked with creating some training videos and I am working on the outro for those videos.  I found some how to videos on YouTube that show how to make text appear to vanish into dust.Video 1 - Ryan Shirley Video 2 - Smertimba Graphics Both show essentially the same steps and I have followed them exactly.  My end results, however, don't look like theirs.  The particles are restricted to the bounding box for the text object. How do I get the particles to move beyond the text?  I thought that is what CC Composite was suppoosed to do.  I'm sure I'm missing something.  Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I've recently encountered an issue in After Effects that displays Unknown BIB Error. CT bad param: invalid CTCapStyle, Brv, 0 (83 :: 3) when I try to paste any text from Illustrator, even after 'Paste text without formatting' is disabled. I've attempted to do it on other versions of AE installed on my computer (23.6.2, 24.1.0 & 25.3.2) and AI (28.7.1 & 29.6.1), but the issue continues. Basically whichever version it is, the same issue recurs even though it was working fine a few days ago, possibly after I removed a Helvetica Neue font after it was being misread as the default UI font for my computer (?) But I've tried out the clearing font cache and ArialMT methods but it didnt work. I work on Windows version 10 if it helps! 

Hola, guten Tag!I've worked with the Notch codec earlier this year and for the past few months, I've been getting these 2 error messages when starting AE. Note that I don't need the plugin anymore. It also seems to mess with my other plugins I'm using as they usually appear to stop working after 30-60 minutes (I tried resetting them and all) My launching looks like the following: <<*Launches AE*After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load.

Is there any method to truly merge multiple selected shape paths within a single shape layer into one unified path, ensuring that overlapping or touching anchor points are combined into single, shared points (a boolean "Unite" or "Merge" operation at the anchor point level?

[Note: I know they just announced that 25.2 is available for download, but Creative Cloud just gave me 25.3, so I'm not really sure what's going on (and maybe I'm not the only one)] Version: 25.3.0 (Build 71)Platform: Windows 11 Steps to reproduce: Hold mouse over composition window, hold down Alt and turn scroll wheelExpected result: Composition window zooms centred on mouse cursor locationActual result: Composition window zooms centred on centre of window For the 3-4 years I've been using AE, I've been holding down Alt and scrolling my mouse wheel in order to zoom toward whatever my mouse cursor is hovering over, both in the Composition window and in the Timeline. But after I updated to 25.3 yesterday, in the Composition window, Alt+Wheel now zooms in and out on the centre of the window and the Wheel without a keyboard modifier zooms in and out at the cursor point (which I only discovered by experimentation).But the Timeline zoom control hasn't changed: it still u

In many cases, the debugger comes up with a line number that does not exist. (e.g. an error on line 71, while the expression consists of 69 lines). It's hard to say when exactly this problem shows up, but it occurs a lot, so I guess more users have experienced this behaviour.

Thinking of buying a new computer for Adobe After Effects? After seeing countless posts on forums and Reddit asking about what computer someone should buy, I decided to break down exactly what to look for when shopping for a PCthat can handle After Effects.   I discuss laptop or desktops, Windows or Apple, graphics cards, storage, RAM etc... In order to determine what's important, I briefly explain how After Effects works, as that gives us some clues as to what hardware to prioritise (spoiler: it's RAM), I then try to answer some frequent questions: RAM vs CPU cores – which matters more for After Effects GPU choices – does Nvidia still beat AMD? Laptops vs desktops – is upgradeability more important than RAM?   Linked on the video page is a scoring spreadsheet you can use to compare potential computers Whether you’re a motion designer, 3D artist, editor, or student, I hope this guide will help you buy smart and get the most performance out of your budget.

Issue - typing in a new frame number in a time remap parameter in the timeline produces the wrong number. Steps to reproduce - 1. take a footage layer, set it to 'freeze current frame' 2.edit the frame number in the text field next to time remap in the timelineExpected result - it should show the correct numberActual result -  it shows the wrong number. the workaround is to carefully drag the text slider to the correct number.Adobe After Effects version - this bug has been present at least since 2020 until 2025Operating system - Windows 10 or 11GPU driver version (Windows only) - any driver version

every time i try and set it up it bugs and says error code 127, so then when i go and find error code 127 and see how i can fix it, it ends up telling me to go to the adobetemp which i cant find in files help pls   [moving to the correct community, as this is about After Effects and not about Lightroom Classic - Mod.]

Someone please help me for the past 2 days I've been stuck, I'm using the beta versions of premiere and after effects, whenever I try importing my project from premiere into AE, everything goes into after affects like the captions and sounds ETC, but my b roll/footage is just black and not showing up. Please help
