AE 25.5.0 Build 4AE BETA 25.6.0.092iMAC 3.8ghz 8 Core i7GFX AMD RADEON Pro 5700 XT 16GBOS TAHOE 26.0.1 AE Crashes if I apply the EXtractoR plugin directly to an EXR layer. Crashes if its a single frame or an image sequence.If the effect is applied to a non EXR layer (and adjustment or TGA for example) it doesnt crash.Example project:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D5a8f8cK0MoTRY_EpXa6paKaKdqq7Oot?usp=sharingAny workarounds or alternate plugings?
The Disk Cache settings recommend that a separate drive is selected as the location to store cache files. It might be helpful to be able to set a primary location and maximum cache size for an external/secondary drive, and a backup location/size for when the primary drive is not available. This way, if you forget your external drive when working out of home, for instance, the cache is still handled in a predictable manner.
I'm trying to bulk change Essential Properties values, can I change the Faux styles using Extended script?
i think its because i tryed to do something with the plug-ins idk
First off, I’m liking the keyframe colors way more than I expected, especially in my more complex projects with lots of controllers. But using it can feel like a chore. Specifically, when using the Select Keyframe Label Group, it reveals far more properties than expected. I attached a screen recording. I start with a mostly collapsed timeline, then pick the context menu to select the matching keyframe colors and suddenly a huge chunk of my timeline is twirled open; I then go on to hide the additional properties so I can focus on just the keys I wanted. I would love it if this only revealed the matching color, so I could see all/more of them on screen at once. While I don’t exactly think this is a bug, it’s certianly not what I expected to happen. Thanks!
OS: Windows 10 Home 64bitI don't know what caused this but this project gets this error every time I hit space to preview it:After Effects error: Scribble internal error (512) ( 25 :: 60 )
I import an AI-file with several layers including graphics as a composition into After Effects.After Effects doesn't show any of the graphics. The layers seem to be empty. However, they are not. (See attached screenshots.)I use the newest versions of both apps on Windows.Any suggestions?
I believe I am using Mocha AE properly, and I am saving after I complete my tracking. I close Mocha AE and return to AE. When I select "Create Track Data" the "Layer Controls" never shows up, although sometimes I do see the tracking points superimposed (when I add a Solid layer). Is there some "allow popup" setting in AE that is the issue perhaps? I can't figure out how to enable the popup. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hello., i have video of an interview. The subject is standing and the background is bush. The subject only moves at times hands or sometimes the arms. Now i want to remove the background. With resolve magic mask is almost perfect, but for example, between the finger, when they open i see details of the background. Also the arms..sometimes are well along the body..sometimes they slightly move aside and then pieces of background come out. Now with roto brush i want to clean those thingsSo i move the playhead in layer panel view, until i find a part where to add or remove somethings. But i can't. Nothing happen. Wheter i add or remove nothing happenHow do i do that?Thank youi
Every C4D file I attempt to import into the latest version of AE (25.5.0) causes it to crash. C4D imports work fine in AE 2024, so I'm using that as a work-around for the time being. I have the latest version of C4D and AE, and an up to date graphics driver for my GeForce RTX 4090. OS is Windows 11. I use this workflow all the time in my work, so I'd live to see this fixed ASAP. Thanks
Is there a fast way to split type into individual letters? I wanted to do a manual "unfolding" effect of a sentence, as I find it much more powerful to control than the per-letter 3d effect. basically i had to lay out the sentence one letter at a time, and it would have been nice to just write the sentence and then divide it into individual letters, the way you can do in Flash. as an example, check out this project on Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/2409242 it's the text effect that happens 7 seconds in. i split the layers to have more control, but i had to line the letters up individually because i couldn't just break apart the sentence.
Hi. I want to create a more handmade style of parallax for a short 2D animated film - so in this case I feel 3D layers would feel too "accurate" and mechanical to work as I want it to.However would it be possible to link 2D-layers to a null but add an offset for each layer in % of the nulls motion? Maybe a script will be able to do this? (I'm not even beginner level when it comes to scripting though)Let's say front layer follow the null with no offset but the layer behind has an offset of xx% of the nulls values, and so on. Would this be at all possible to do? Would it be too advanced to even bother? I guess this would be used to control x/y position and scale.The prospect of keeping track of these offsets manually is a bit daunting, thats why I'm looking for alternative workflows. Also I feel some sort of automation would save alot of time. Let me know if you have some easy ideas or examples I can try out.Thank you./Marten
Hello:Does anyone know if there's a way to change the default language of After Effects without uninstalling and reinstalling? I've found tons of articles on how to do it with older versions, but none of them are current.Thank you.
Hi,I'll try provide further information if I can when asked, however I don't have much to go off. I've enabled logging and will include the most recent crash section below, however it does not consistently end with this message.I do not have any plugins installed, and the issue persists safe mode / with reset preferences. I have zero issues with Premiere, Audition, Media Encoder etc, and only AE is having issues.The only time it manages to not crash is when it is not the program in focus/it is minimized, which isn't much help. The issue was never this bad previously (I started with AE only 4-5ish months ago, issue has been rampant for about the last week), as it would only crash when under high load/trying to work on comps with many layered effects. However this would be infrequent enough that I didn't have much issue beyond slight annoyance System:RTX 4080si7 14700kf32GB RAMWindows 112x 2TB SSDs When it crashes:The only constant is that it appears to be when AE is the p
Can't figure this out. This happens with every version of AE I've tried from 24.5 up, with a slew of drivers going back to the first version accepted in C4D earlier this year. CC Cleaner and DDU run when testing combos. Exporting a prores 422 file with no sound, from any project simple or complicated with different media. With or without additional plugin or scripts. It's not the cache or preferences, hardware panel render on and off, Multi frame on and off. Aaaaaaand with CUDA disabled.It will typically finish rendering, but occasionally just craps out. No compatibility issues found, and this is a new build. I will note that i get similar not good chime renders from a days old Lenovo Legion 9i that also has a 5080 series gpu in it.Intel Ultra 9 285k (no mods)PNY Geforce 5080192 GB DDR5Windows 11This project is relatively simple, stock footage from adobe (mp4) with only a few gaussian or drop shadows used.

So I bought a new macbook pro 14 inch with the m4 pro 14 cores and 48 gb of Ram and I thought I will be a major change from my previous M1 macbook but unfortunately almost every time I use After effects it will just freeze and will not recover. At times it will freeze the whole mac and I cant even force it to close because the Mac will not do anything. Only way it to reboot it manualy. This is a major problem that never happened to me with the M1 Macbook. This is a brand new Computer with 2 TB hard drive and it completely clean. I had it for 3 days and since day one this keeps on happening. I usually happen when I try to play something on the time line after working on it for a while, but nothing to havey. Again, the M1 got no issues with it. Is that something other people experience? thanks
im kinda new in this thing called rotobrush but i have used this for several times and this problem never showed up. anyway now when im trying to roto it always pop up this alert: after effects warning: roto brush strokes cannot be added until the current frame has finished rendering. even the render after importing the video. what should i do?btw is it just on my compter or after effects is really slow? i mean like import 15 sec video in hdr resulution to the timeline the little rendering procces take like 1 minute. about what?? and also the roto itselves its render soooo slow. and i work with new laptop 4060 i7 32 ram i dont get it
The Clone brush in AE should automatically reveal only the clone brush strokes in the comp window when Paint on Transparent is active but still have the layer source visible in teh layer window. Currently it completely disappears in the both windows and you need to manually select another duplicated layer as the clone source for EVERY single clone brush stroke. While you can set the source in the Paint panel, you can't paint with the Paint on transparent active as the Layer window is fully black. The current method is cumbersome and completely counter-intuitive.
I am adamant about keeping my compflow in my projects going left to right so my Flowchart and Mini-Flowchart views match my open Timeline Panels and I would love to borrow Chrome's "Close other tabs to the right" option in After Effects. I included a screenshot of the option from Chrome and where I'd love to see it be added in After Effects. Bonus points if it could be mapped to a keyboard shortcut?
My project is set to the ACES 1.2, ACES CG, 32-bit working color space. Okay, this error is very easy to understand. If the blue values of the footage exceed the 100 limit, they are ignored by the spill suppressor. It should be easy to fix, because this effect is not marked as only working in 16-bit color space, but should also be fully usable in a 32-bit workflow.1. Image. show the situation without spill suppressor applied. 2. Image shows, that the spill suppressor is applied only under the 100 mark. but not in the blue Highlights. Thank you and have a nice day! 🙂 Hope you can fix it until next update 🙂
Is there a script or way to automatically or bulk freeze all rotobrush work? I have a file from another designer with a xrazy amount of unneeded roto work, but instead of rebuilding from scratch properly I need to freeze all this roto work but would like to do a "click here to freeze all roto work" instead of doing layer by layer throughout the entire project.
Parenting has got better but I wish I didn't have to press 'X' to jump to the layer number when parenting.Please expose the layer number of the object clicked on in the timeline. I have a ton of layers.I want to pair the 'eye' with the 'head controller'.I've just drawn an 'eye' and it's layer 12 I click the controller in the composition panel.I then need to click the controller, then press 'X' to jump to it in the timeline (if it's shy then you can't see it)Remember the layer number of the controllerThen click the 'eye' again, press 'X' to jump back to that layer and parent it to the layer number I just remembered.
When I import PSDs into AE, the interpretation is not defaulting to the embedded profile, always to the working profile. Can anyone help me work out how to change this? If the PSD is sRGB, I want AE to respect that. Thanks
I'm working on a project for a class and we need to animate shapes. However, we're not allowed to use anything other than the brush tool to draw (no shape tool, no pen tool). We're not allowed to have object mode on either. It's been a significant struggle for me to draw neat straight lines. I know that holding shift while drawing creates straight vertical or horizontal lines. Is there any way to do this with diagonal lines?
I have a scene with a TV covered in stickers. I applied a mask to these stickers to give them a holographic effect with an image, applying “Hard Light” and lowering the opacity.Well, when I open the .fla file in After Effects, the mask works, but the “Hard Light” effects and opacity are not applied.I understand that there are several solutions, such as converting the symbol to a bitmap, but I want to find out why this is happening and whether or not there is a solution.
