After Effects

When I put an Element 3D on a layer in my scene, the Render Que and Media Encoder cannot render the composition. They will either freeze, or drop frames of the Element 3D layer, or flash up crazy blues, greens, or a solid white frame. I just finished a project 2 weeks ago with no problems.I think there was an AE and ME update since then (I did try rolling back, and that did not work).There was also an NVIDIA driver update since hten I believe.Anybody else having trouble with this? 

I've got a composition built up of some light passes from Maya & V-Ray 7. Rendered with ACES 1.2 Config.These are added on top of each other to match a result that I get in Photoshop for a product render.On top of these are some adjustment layers with various exposure/hue sat/curves etc. When I RAM Preview the animation without the adjustment layers it looks fine, then with the adjustment layers it'll be fine up to a point then the colours will go all muted. The individual light comps and beauty pass look fine on their own... No flickering or muted colours. I've tried this setup via the new OCIO Color Managed set up in After Effects, and via my old method that was to use an OpenColorIO ACEScg > sRGB adjustment layer with a Color Profile Convertor layer on top to correct the gamma. Both of these methods have very much random issues with the frames going muted on random frames. If I turn any adjustment layer off the muted look disappears. I've tried to reset AE pref

I'd like to download after effects 2023 or 2022 but its not shown in the previous older files, and I can't get into contact with any adobe workers 😞

I have an Ae file that freezes up Ae every time I open it, even the autosave files freeze it up. The problem is specific to one project. All my other Ae project files open just fine. Never had this issue before today. I have coworkers that can open the file just fine, on the same version of Ae. Same exact hardware and software build as well. I can even open it on my laptop, which has an old version of Ae, just can't open it on my Mac Pro. I tried reinstalling the current and old version of Ae. Still won't open. See screenshot below. It looks like a dialogue box starts opening and freezes before it gets past this point. I get the color wheel and have to force quit. Any thoughts?

Al abrir en Windows un archivo creado en Mac, los controles de efectos de Menú desplegable que existían previamente en el proyecto, cambian el nombre del efecto “Menú” por “Menœ”.Una vez guardado en Windows, al abrir en Mac cualquier proyecto (aunque no haya sido abierto en Windows) contiene el mismo error hasta que se elimina la caché de disco y se limpia la base de datos del programa. 

After Effects 25.5.0 (Build 4). Windows 11.  When previewing in full screen mode (full screen checked in preview panel), the timeline zooms way out after stopping the preview.  When not in full screen mode in preview, the timeline remains as is.

Hi everyone,this seems like such a basic question:but how do i view my composition FULL SCREEN in after effects? I searched "toggle full screen" in keyboard shortcuts and found nothing there.  Thanks for your help!

Version: Adobe After Effects version 23.6.5 System: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro. Steps to reproduce the problem: this can be reproduced using the attached entry_point file or using the AE's builtin Channel Combiner effect. I will describe the steps to reproduce the problem using the Channel Combiner effect.- Create a composition with an image- Add the Channel Combiner effect to it- Check the parameter Source Options > Use 2nd Layer parameter and add a keyframe at time 00s. Note that the parameter Source Options > Source Layer is now enabled (not grayed out).- Go to another time (for example 02s) and uncheck the parameter Source Options > Use 2nd Layer. Note that the parameter Source Options > Source Layer is now disabled (grayed out).- Using the timeline ruler, set the current time to 00s with a left click.Expected result:  Source Options > Use 2nd Layer is checked and Source Options > Source Laye

When importing Apple Log 2 into my timeline, on playback before importing it's flat and as it should be, but when I import it AE applies colour and exposure resulting in a weird, highlights clipped, strange version of rec709 look to my log footage. Anyone else encountered this?

Hi,I am try to import Canon Raw image (.CR2) sequences in AE 2025  (25.5).I am working in a art school, we have both PC (windows 11) and Mac (Os sequoia). These images display correctly in photoshop 2025 and in the last update of Camera RAW.The problem does not appear in AE 2024, the problem is really with After 2025 and how it interprets these images when imported. When importing raws in AE2025, CameraRaw opens to do settings (right colors displayed) but when you close it, the colors turn to this ugly shift. According to me, this is due because on former versions (2024), these images were imported and interpreted with a media color profile "Camera Raw" in AE.But now this default  profile is not available anymore, and the raw images are interpreted with a ProphotoRGB profile. Why ? Will this problem be soon solved? I cannot find a profile in the interpretation of the media that match the look i had on Camera Raw and Photoshop.I had the exact  same pro

When I render a sequence out of AE 17.1.1 using a project working space sRGB, and then import that sequence into the same project, AE assigns the Rec709 2.4 profile to it, resulting in a colour shift. I'm using ProRes 4444 as a render format.Any advice welcome, as it's resulted in some irritating issues that have been tedious to track down. More info: Windows 10, AE 17.1.1, NVidia TitanXp x2 + 1080Ti.I'm importing the sequence as a series of .exr files. Comp is set to 32bpc, colour management ON, working space sRGB, exporting using ProRes4444.

Do you think it is prudent to do animation with plugin? I found doing animation without plugin makes life difficult. Not only that there are so many features in many Effects & Presets one can't remember everything.  Therefore plugin can reduce the workload. What is your experience? 

Hello all,I'm working on a project between After Effects & Premiere Pro. I want to create multiples text animation coming from the left & the right side. The animation is working well and my text is formatted well as well. BUT for this purpose, I will need to have the possibilty to edit the text. For this, i'm drag n dropping the source text for the text layer into my Essential Graphics panel, it's working well, I can even add properties such as Enable Custom Font Selection, Enable Font Size Adjustement & Enable Faux Styles. The thing is that within that paragraph, I don't want all my text to be regular or italic or bold if I use the Faux style, I want part of the paragraph to be regular and the last sentence to be italic, Did any of you succeed to do this? On the following images is an example of what I want to achieve but within Premiere Pro and without having to going back and forth between the two apps ..If you have any questions, don"t hesitate to shoot! Thanks a lot i

‌I understand I can use thisProperty to get the index of a property, but is there a way to get the index of the shape group my opacity is inside? Sort of like an thisProperty.parent.index or something

Ich arbeite mit einem zweiten Bildschirm an meinem MacBook. Das Programmfenster von After Effects öffnet sich auf dem MacBook und passt sich nicht an die Bildschirgröße an. Es ist viel zu groß. Wie bekomme ich es passend? Die linke obere Ecke ist nicht erreichbar. Und wie kann ich das Programmfenster auf meinen großen Hauptbildschirm ziehen?

Hello, I have a project I complete in April of this year in Premiere with linked AE comps that use the light sweep effect.

 My asset keeps disappearing right after the keyframe even though the asset should still be visible. Is there something I can do to resolve this?

Hello, Once again I'm testing the limits of what the SDK allows me to do. I have a custom control, a button in my effect panel. I want to implement a rollover effect, and it all works fine for activating the rollover, but not to return the button to its normal state. The problem is when I move the mouse too fast, and the cursor goes out of my parameter area. In this case I have no way of checking where the mouse is and even a way to redraw that area with the new state. I can't seem to find an event like PF_Event_MOUSE_LEAVE that I could use to somehow force a redraw and check the mouse position again to see if the mouse is over the button or not. PF_Event_DRAW event for custom controls is only triggered when the mouse is on top of them, same goes for PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR. Any idea of a workaround for this one?
