After Effects

Hello, I created a dropdown menu in a component to easily adjust effects. This menu is then put in essential graphics. Everything works... except if I want to modify the content of the menu (via the "edit" )... There it removes it from essential graphiscs, it removes all the key images of this effect (added by the menu) and by the way it removes me all the key images of the other effects also related to the essential graphics (thus without direct link with this menu...). Is this a known bug? it's very annoying because with each modification of the menu you have to redo everything... THANK YOUversion 2021 release, 18.4.1  ps: obviously I'm not the only one to have this problem, but is it fixed in recent versions?

When I try to do a content aware fill on a video clip located on an external SSD, I get the following error when I click the Generate Fill button: After Effects warning: Content-Aware Fill Error: Initialization FailedIf I copy the media file to my local drive, and my .aep file to my local drive, the error does not happen.Same media file, same process, no error. I'm on MacBook Pro 16 inch 2021 running MacOS 12.6 and After Effects 23.0.0 Build 59.

Bonjour,J'ai actuellement un souci avec l'importation d'un projet Premiere, After Effect importe qu'une partie du montage réalisé ... Voici les deux messages d'erreurs en pièce jointe.Ma configue (i9 9940 X_128Go Ram_GPU : Rtx 3090. Le pilote graphique est à jour, ainsi que les LOG) En attente d'une réponse,  merci !

Essa versão do After effects (23.0) está com um problema na hora de salvar um projeto. Quando inicio um projeto e clico para salvar, ele abre a janela para escolher o nome e o local para salvar o arquivo, porém quando começo a escrever o nome do projeto e se preciono qualquer seta do teclado para mover o cursor pelo texto, ele fecha a janela de save como se eu tivesse clicado em cancelar. Ou Seja, eu preciso clicar com o mouse exatamente onde eu preciso mexer no nome do projeto para poder fazer qualquer ajuste e ai sim clicar em salvar...  Esse erro é bem irritante e se não prestar atenção, você pode até perder o projeto achando que salvou!

Having an banding issue when the project is set to 32bpc, it looks identical to 8bpc on ProRes XQ footage. However, when I switch to 16bpc, the banding disappears.  This shows up in the viewer and upon export, which is ProRes XQ / Trillions of Colors. I've attached screenshots with the settings in front of clouds, where it's most obvious to see.   -AE 23.0.0 (Build 59)-Mac OS 12.6.1 / M1 Ultra 128GB 

If my psd uses adobe fonts, and I convert those font layers to text in AE, the font will be loaded as long as I keep PS is open.But when later on after I boot my pc, I'll open the project's aep, AE doesn't load the correct fonts.To fix it I'll have to close AE, open the psd on PS and then open AE so the correct font will show on AE. But that is a bug imo, and if someone else takes the project they might not know that this is not the proper font. Please fix this, it's a issue I've been having for more than 2 years

Hello I guess I have encountered a bug. In Team project when i import some footage - in my case an exr sequence which is currently rendering and in the time of import let's say only frames 0-30 are finished it import's the footage as - footage_[ 0000-0030].exr .But in the meantime i finish the rendering and there is 0-100 frames rendered i reload the footage and it reloads in the timeline correctly but in the left panel (Team) Project  it doesn't update the name to - footage_[ 0000-0100].exr but it's stays the same - footage_[ 0000-0030].exr.In regular project it works. It doesn't update even after you share your changes and turn of AE and turn on again. Could you please look into it. Windows 11After Effects 2023.0.0 (Build 59)  Thanks in advance

Hi. For some time now I have had the problem that After Effects slows down my whole system. I always clean up the cache files and this I also have on separate SSD's so that the system drive stays nice and free.But the strangest thing is that even when I close AE, the system remains slow. The mouse jerks, programmes take forever to load, etc. Only after a restart does the system run normally again.However, there are no unusual loads to be seen in the task manager. Neither in the RAM nor the CPU.Does anyone know this problem? Would really appreciate any tips. Thanks. My system:AMD 5900xAsus Creator X570128GB Ram2x Geforce 3090 

I've had to revert to v22. Preview on my 64Gb Intel i9 Windows 10 Pro box gives me one second of regular playback and then e  v  e  r  y  t  h  i  n  g    s  l  o  w  s     d  o  w  n. Unusable. v22 works fine.

There is no error message or any evidence of Mocha running in the Task Manager. The mocha launch window appears and then nothing happens. AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GMonterey 12.6

MAC Studio, M1, Ventura 13.0.1, 64 GB My experience with After Effectssince upgrading to the Mac Studio has been horrendous. For several months I was unable to work because of the 5 frame playback glitch, countless bugs and memory errors. I was so relieved with the last update, playback seemed to be working just fine. That was until I updated the Mac OS to Ventura. I am doing some greenscreen work and had to download some mp4s for backdrops, the first and most noticable issue is that the backgrounds are seemingly jumping to random frames, constantly lagging and cutting to black. I assumed this was a codec issue with the mp4s so I converted them to MOVs. No luck, playback is just as bad and choppy. On top of the playback speed is seemlingly a fraction of what it used to be, Making it incredibly difficult to get any work done. 

I updated all my Adobe apps as I was between projects, then got a request from my client to update a project created a few months ago. After downloading the collected project from Dropbox I tried opening it in the latest 23.0.0 build of After Effects. Every single embedded .MOV file gave an error "this MooV file is damaged or unsupported." I rebooted, etc and nothing worked, having to repeatedly click OK for the dozens of footage files over and over. Tried reimporting but the same error. Strangely the same project will open fine in both the 2022 build as well as the latest Beta (23.2.0 Build 9) with no error messages for the footage. I know there are ongoing issues with Dropbox and M1 Macs, but I'm wondering why this seems to be specific to 23.0.0? MacBook Pro 16  Model Identifier: MacBookPro18,2  Chip: Apple M1 Max  Total Number of Cores: 10  Memory: 64 GB

Mocha Pro (2022.5) will no longer launch through After Effects (23.0.0) on my Mac Pro (OS X Ventura 13.0.1), it just hangs on the "Mocha Pro is starting..." screen and the app icon bounces in the app doc for about 2 minutes before stopping and staying frozen. I have tried restarting the computer multiple times, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled both After Effects and Mocha Pro, to no avail.

Been having this issue on and off for a while. Hit spacebar for ram preview, preview is shown in composition window, but playhead (blue arrow and line) stays still on timeline. It should advance and turn red, plus when I hit spacebar to stop it should stop at that point. This issue appears to happen randomly, often with projects with lots of comps, but not on overly complicated ones. The only way to get rid of it is to close AE and reoppen, then it works fine for a bit, but then the issue comes back. Also seems more common in dynamicly linked to Premiere comps (maybe)? I've tried a bunch of things, clearing various caches, purging, resetting prefs, resetting the GPU driver settings as I had tweaked the vsync for playback. I've also tried setting ae to just CPU and turning off multiframe. Using version 22.6 Windows 10 on a reasonable machine (Ryzen 9 3900, 64GB ram, RTX 2070) Any thoughts would be much appreciatred.

Hello,   As stated in the title, my problem is that by having just two pre-comps with one containing the video and the second one the audio, it is almost impossible to watch the video when I press "space". The videos themselves are a medium quality proxies that I have created in Premier.I have a very high spec machine and the problem just cant lie with the hardware since on my other computer that has a fraction of ram, cpu, gpu power the playback is smooth.System Specs:Windows 11 Home (10.0, Build 22621)12th Gen Intel i9-12900KS128GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090The video that I'm trying to play is:1280x720 50fps MP4Does anyone know how to fix it? I have tried purging everything, deleting cache again. I have also assigned over 100gb of RAM to AE but it still lags as hell.

The new update has completely bugged my after effects. The warning sign displays the message, 'Low memory warning. RAM use has been extended for previews. Adjust RAM setting in preferences > Memory & Preference'. Despite efforts to fix this issue, it makes the software impossible to use as the playback button will only play a second on a loop. 

Hello,  I'm using Macbook Pro 2016, and everytime I choose the cinema4D renderer in after effects, it crashes and sends a report, is there a fix for this issue?  Thnak you

Has been successfully reproduced on multiple computers.When I am in a project that I have been working on for a while，And Then I type pinyin in the text box， It will undoubtedly collapse straight away

I have created a simple AE project in AE 2022.6 and 2023 on a Mac M1 running Monterey.  The project contains a 54 minute .mp3 audio file (69 MB), a sequence containing the audio file and a text field, and a .json file (1.3 MB) -- the AE project is 89 KB - this project opens fine.   If I drag the .json file into the seqence, it takes several minutes and when I save the AE project is 283.1 MB.  At this point I can't re-open the AE project without AE hanging.  Is this expected?  Is there a limit on the size of the .json file that AE can manage in a sequence?  Why does the program balloon so big if the .json file is only 1.3 MB?  I am attaching the project that opens (without the .json in the sequence) and can supply the .json file if needed.

I have this folder with multiple image sequences. When I select one frame of each, After Effects Compes up with the check box 'Multiple Sequences'. Wheb checked, the import results in 1 image sequence, and the other selected frames are just imported as single frames, not the complete sequences.

Hello all, AE 23 (build 59) won't open past projects (17.5.1) on my 2020 Mac. Alert message,"Last log message was: <940310><BEE_WorkQueue> <5>BEE_WorkQueue_PreCloseProject end"Already tried:Trashing preferencesOpening from AutosavesImporting old project into new projectSent logs HELP PLEASE!Thanks!

I am doing some clean-up on TIF sequences, and am finding that the software very quickly runs into issues. It particularly hates when I reference other layers, and gets gradually slower and slower as I work through the sequence until it hangs and I'm forced to restart. The only workaround I have found is to export as a new TIF sequence and keep working into it. But that is obviously not a viable solution, and I hope to God it's a temporary workaround. I am using a 16 inch 2021 16-core M1 Max MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM, and the way things are at the moment, it's giving my 2015 iMac with 16GB RAM and a Fusion Drive a run for its money. It is unusable and unacceptable that it's performing this badly and I cannot workout what to do. OS Monterey, version is V23 (up-to-date as of this post). You can reproduce this issue by adding enough paint layers to large TIF sequences, and should find the only way out of it eventually is to restart AE.

We get green flashes when rendering VR Chromatic Aberrations with interlacing.  Below is a side-by-side comparison. The problem does NOT occur when rendering progressive (29.97p) OR when rendering at 59.94.   (our workaround to date has been to render full frames at 59.94 and then bring that render back in and re-export in a 29.97 comp with interlacing.) It doesn't matter if the effect is applied directly or as an adjustment layer, we get the same green flashes. Anyone else experience this and have a solution that doesn't require pre-rendering comps that use this plugin?  The problem happens on both Windows and Mac computers and it's been around for many versions of After Effects, up to and including v22.6.0. Thanks, Marc 

In the last week orso my AfterEffects is completely broken to the point of being unusable (even though I'm still paying a full subscription every month!)Preview breaks as soon as I make any changes on the timeline. I open a project, the preview window works fine. I can drag along the timeline and the preview updates.But as soon as I do anything in the timeline, e.g. move a layer, switch a layer's visibility, literally ANYTHING, the preview doesn't update anymore. So basically it's now an expensive previewing software and I can't make any changes whatsoever. No system incompatibility issues.Switched off ALL GPU acceleration.Cleared caches, moved them to different harddisks.Purged everything multiple times.Added more memory allocation.Restarted rebooted, even reinstalled AE.Start new project.  The problem persists. And I really need to use this software for its intended purposes soon!
