After Effects

Yo I've been trying for quite some time to make Motion Blur as a normal effect plug-in and I want to ask if it is even possible. Can I access the layer's transforms through a normal effect plug-in? What do I need to use? I wanna make sure if it is possible or not. The only other way is making it an AEGP, right? I would like to avoid that.

So I modified the Skeleton sample plugin by adding SmartFX and by making it move the layer based on 2 parameters, X and Y, because I want to understand how to make it go out of bounds. If I set the rects like this:extra->output->result_rect = in_result.result_rect;extra->output->max_result_rect = expanded_rect;Then the expansion is not happening or whatever, because the pixels are clearly still limited by the bounds.If I set them like this:extra->output->result_rect = expanded_rect;extra->output->max_result_rect = expanded_rect; Then the effect just gets completely bugged and moves the layer to top-left. What am I missing? I tried so many things...such a sad thing that we don't have a sample plugin in the SDK that shows how to do this. Here's my currect PreRender btw:static PF_Err PreRender( PF_InData* in_data, PF_OutData* out_data, PF_PreRenderExtra* extra) { PF_Err err = PF_Err_NONE; PF_RenderRequest req = extra->input->output_re

He estado presentando este problema en la versión 25.1 en adelante, la versión 25.0.1 e inferior no sucede.La cuestión es que subí de versión para aprovechar la mejora de la caché de medios, pero es un poco molesto tener ese desfase en la previsualización.*Especificaciones de mi PC*- Ryzen 7 2700X- RX 6500XT- 16GB de RAM- Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26.100.3775)Bug en la versión 25.2.2Prueba en la versión 25.0.1

I have a shape layer which is my background. Then without diselecting it, I draw a triangle on top of it.Now that triangle it's a Content of the background layer. What if I want to disconnect that triangle so it's no longer a content but a new layer by it self.Is there a way to do that?

I'm developing an After Effects extension using adobe CEP, and as far as I've found so far, there is no built-in way of detecting changes in user selection i.e. - listening to events like user has selected a different composition(s)/layer(s).Beacause of that, I've created a simple workaround where I set an interval in the CEP side, and each 200ms I issue a call to ExtendScript to fetch the current user selection(by "selection" I mean compositions/layers - if any where selected), and update the panel UI accordingly.The solution above works nicely for fairly smaller projects, but for projects that contains large amount of compositions and layers, it just crashes After Effects completely.Is there any official/recommended way of acheiving that goal?

I have brought a whole bunch of PNG. I can click each one individually and align them to center one buy one. But when I select them all the align buttom won't work. Is there a way around this?

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I need to use a plugin, but it currently only exists in version 23.4.However, in Creative Cloud I can't download a version lower than 2024.

Hi, Is there any way I can find a layer from layer panel by its name or any keyword I used for the layer title? A lot of time is wasted just because I have to scroll through 50/60 layers to find the desired one.  Coloring layer is helpful but I need to track a layer by keyword or a word . Any way? I alwys drag layers accidentally when animating ,  so I keep locking layer/s not to move them, Thts why clicking on shape and track it on layer panel is not possible often. Finding a layer by a keyword or name will be helpful.  Thank you. 

Hello, Adobe Community!I'm having an issue using the GoPro FX Reframe plug-in in Adobe After Effects and would like your help. When applying the plug-in to a video captured with a Insta360 x4, horizontal lines and distortion artifacts appear in the composition, as shown in the attached image. Here are the details of my setup and what I've tried:After Effects Version: 25.2Operating System: Windows 11INsta360 X4 Camera and Video Settings: 7680x3840 @ 29.97 fps, H.264 codec]Steps Taken:I imported the video directly from insta360 Studio and converted it to mp4.I added the GoPro FX Reframe effect and tried to adjust the parameters (zoom, stabilization, etc.).I rendered the video to see if the problem persists in the final result.What I've already tried:I reinstalled the GoPro FX Reframe plug-in (latest version from the GoPro website).I disabled other effects on the layer to test them in isolation.Result: The horizontal lines continue to appear, both in the preview and in the render.I attach

Hi there --I've been trying to figure out how to loop the opacity of a layer with expressions for two days. If your first thought is, "he must not be very smart," I won the 7th grade spelling bee and the 9th grade Science award. It's been all downhill from there, though. I tried to get help from ChatGPT, but Chad (my bot) kept throwing in extra info that made what seemed like a simple question more complex than necessary. I would do what he said, then tell him it didn't loop. His usual response was along the lines of, "Great! You're on the right track. What an insightful question. Just do this, and it will loop just fine." I fell for it almost every time, and was crushed when it didn't loop the way Chad assured me it would. After a while it dawned on me that Chad doesn't have eyes and has no idea what the code he sends me looks like on screen.   I tell you all that so you know I am the kind of person who only asks for help when he really really needs it.If I can get something

Can anyone tell me what this square is on my footage that burns in when i export and render out? Im not sure if this is something that was put on in adobe premier or affter effects as I am using adobe dymic link so its on my footage in both platforms.    

I'm trying to use the Collect Files function but it keeps including files and comps that it should omit.  I tried Collect Files > For Selected Comps > Generate Report Only and it reported that I used files that were not in the comp I had selected (or any precomp within that). I also tried Collect Files > For Selected Comps > Reduce Project and it collected a bunch of comps and files that were not in the sequence I had selected.  Any idea why this might happen?Thanks!

Are there any solutions for transferring text layers from after effects to premiere pro (not MoGRT)?I don't understand when Adobe will make this function

I'm brand new to AE and I'm trying to distribute three layers of text. The Align panel is usable, and I see "Distribute Layers:", but it's unclickable and there are no options. How do I distribute text horizontally? Thank you!

Alguien sabe el por qué, me sale este error? 

When I drag the blue line around in the timeline and look at my video, there is constant black screen flashes that make it hard to see. When I play the video, the screen flashing goes away. I have tried restarting my computer, doing updates on my computer, clearing memory, clearing the disk cache, and I have tried changing the disk cache.

After years of the building CEP/UXP panels, scripts, complex expression based morgts and I have decided to expand to the plugins to dive deeper into automation possibilities, right now I am looking speficicly to analyse the sequence in PPRO for the transparent sections of the frame to work with that futher from the CEP sideSo my idea was to 1) Gather all clips that must be analised and their timings from CEP side2) Somehow launch plugin or maybe apply effect that would analise those frames to find pixels with alpha chanel in the speficic areas of the frame3) Get that results back grom the C++ context (I am not sure if CEP can communate with the C++ plugins), if it cannot be directly passed, maybe building some workaround by dumping everything in txt file that would be monitoted from Extension side4) using that data again in the CEP contextMy questions are:1) Is it possible to communatice between CEP and plugins within premiere pro?2) is it even possible to analise the pixel data?

After Effects - error occurred while importing the selected items from .1) After Effects error: Source compression type is not supported.2) After Effects error: Could not get file '.mp4'. This file 'MooV' is corrupted or unsupported.   - What is the solution? It is impossible to insert the video even if it is exported back to another program. Every time I use it, every time I update it, It get an error.   [personal information removed by moderator]

  SHOWING ERROR CODE 9988 WHEN EXPORTING  TO MOV FILE .I RESTARTED AND AGAIN SHOWING ERROR MESSAGE ,I USING M2 PRO MINI, 32 GB RAM ,OS VENTURA 13.4.1 (22F82)AND AFTER EFFCTS VERSION 23.5 BUILD 52.HOW TO FIX IT? PLEASE HELPTHANK YOU.  

video attached.I have 2 keyframes where motion should be paused, but AE is creating extra bezier curves that it is moving along.Changing spacial interpolation fixes that and it is now still - however it removes the curved motion from previous keyframes.See video EDIT: Using a hold keyframe works as a workaround, but I am still wondering if there is a more normal fix

After a crash every time I try to open Finder (while trying to choose render destination, import files, choose a proxy etc.) AE it freezes and crashes without opening FInder windows. I reseted all preferences, reinstalled AE to older version, opened in safe mode - nothing helped. v 25.2.2MacOs Sequoia 15.5  

Meu pc é um r5 5500, 16gb ram, rx 580 8gb 400 de memória nunca tive problema com os aplicativos da adobe, nem quando usava pirata nem quando comecei a pagar, porém comecei um projeto recente e ele me ocasionou problemas, por algum motivo meu computador todo crasha quando vou começar a editar ele, passo cerca de 5-10 minutos e ele simplesmente crasha meu pc e reinicia sozinho, não sei o que fazer. e quando abre aparece essa msg

Occasionally, we want to display active timeline layer's names and if we don't know better, the solution is to use one Text Layer for each 'target' layer. BUT there's a better way - drop this Expression in a Text Layer, placed at the top of the Timeline hierarchy and drop this Expression into its source text property - let layerNames = "";for (let i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++) {if (i === index) continue;let targetLayer = thisComp.layer(i);if (targetLayer.active) {layerNames += `Layer Index:${targetLayer.index} - ${targetLayer.name}\r\n`;}}layerNames.trim();

Loving Advanced Render but when a vector objects is extruded if it has a stroke it clashes with the fill and gives an unpleasant glitchy edge. Can you fix it please Adobe. It's stopping me using Advanced Render.
