After Effects

Hey,  im using this computer:  Processor: 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7RAM: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4Graphic Card: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GBIntel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBSystem: macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (21G83) Unfortunately i cannot preview the video in real time because it freeezes. Do you have any idea, how to solve this? Thank you, Ella

I'm using the latest version of MAC OS, the latest version of After Effect, but the rendering is too slowIn particular, RAM usage is only about 10%Also, GPU, CPU both It's not used enoughIn addition, too many warning signs indicate low RAM m1 max, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd

Ok, so for various reasons, I have been using AE 2020 (v17.6) for the last couple of years.  Today however, I was given a file made in v23, and had to install this version to open the file. Pretty basic file, and process... I made some guide layers in the comps I needed to modify, and when I was ready to render, I did the Option+Cmd+S for 'Save Frame As File' action... my preferred method of easily exporting a still for years and years now. After rendering, I noticed the resulting output had the guide layers in them... um.. wtf? So, I did a search and found a since closed disucssion talking about this very thing from November of 2019 reporting the exact same behavior... the post ended with an Adobe person asking for a sample file, saying they weren't sure how to replicate the bug, so I don't know what evert came of this, only that its something that has been on Adobe's radar for almost 3 years and hasn't been addressed...  To any Adobe personnel who wish to tes

Hello, I am using After Effects 22.6.0 and Media Encoder 22.6.1 The playback is fine in after effects and runs smoothly. In Media Encoder at the start it goes quite fast, when the effects appear it slows down a lot. My colleagues have slightly older laptops and it runs fine. I am using Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62)

You would think the Mac Studio with a 20 core M1 Ultra and 128GB of RAM would be a great fit with After Effects, especially with the introduction of performance boosting features like MFR and hardware acceleration for video files.Except... MFR is basically useless on this machine as it is a lot of the times actually slower, but even more problematic, not able to finish a render. Just hangs. No crash, just... nothing. And i'm not talking about complex compositions with lots of plug-ins, this also happens on comps where the only thing happening is an image moving with position keyframes, no effects at all. Can't trust a render queue to be done if i walk away when MFR is on, totally unreliable, so has to be off by default.Then there is the promise of hardware acceleration for video files, with the M1 Ultra having multiple accelerators for Prores files. Except... Prores files turn out to be rendered greenish. Not all frames, but most of the frames. So there goes that option, can't use it,

This is effectively a port of a topic from 2017 before this was a bug report forum, though the bug has existed (just confirmed it myself) since CS6. Though listed as answered here, the workarounds found are risky and can cause crashes and other unintended results. This needs to be fixed.https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/ae-wont-stop-tracking-once-started/td-p/9503822#:~:text=Right%20click%20on%20the%20task,up%20the%20Save%2FCancel%20windowBasically, if you have trackers which use enough CPU (super easy to do with large features or search areas, especially on high res footage), the entire UI lags to the point that it cannot recognize keypresses or clicks. Larger trackers will cause it to happen more quickly. It still tracks, and will stop when the clip is over, but in many cases this can leave a clip unstoppably tracking for half an hour with the only workaround being a risky move that could close without saving if the OS is fickle.versions: all since at least CS6

Hi allI have problem with preview in After Effects 22.6. I use Windows 10 Pro, 64GB RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz. I tried to down ground to 22.0 but everything was crashing.  The problem is visible in the movie below. As you can see I have a blurry object and glitch effect/pixels when it is moving. I'm not sure what is going on and I didn't change any of my settings.  Let me know what should I do or what to check. Thanks! 

Não sei como resolver, mas direto vou criar algo, e o after simplesmente não da play na animação, para de funcionar do nada e eu não consigo mais animar mais não renderiza e tenho que fechar o software e abrir novamente o arquivo, e está acontecendo muito, o incômodo está grande, não consigo produzir, minha produtividade está horrível!!!

Hey folks, I get an error when trying to import a specific .MP4 file. Thinking maybe the file was incorrectly labeled, I used Media Encoder to convert it to an MP4 again, but After Effects still won't import it. I also opened up After Effects 18.4.6 and without issue. I've attached the 2 error notifications in AE as well as video details about the .MP4 file. Thanks! 

Issue: When creating a shape layer from text with "Create Shapes from Text", it doesn't retain the "Faux Bold" modifier although other modifiers do get retained.Version Number: 22.6.0 (Build 64)OS: Mac OS Monterey (12.6)Steps to reproduce: Create a text, enable "Faux Bold", right click "Create -> Create Shapes from Text".Expected Result: I should get the exactly same text as a shape layer.Actual Result: I get the text without "Faux Bold". 

For AE 2023/2022, "Use Display Color Management/HDTV REC709" feature crashes when enabled. To use that feature normally, first, you have to disable "hardware accelerate composition, layer and footage panels" in the preferences panel. But everything is normal for AE 2021.

currently AE is showing the time scrubber out of sync with audio when played using just the audio playback option. This is a deal breaker bug.

AfterEffects is saying I am low on RAM even though it is only using about 4 gigs or 64 gigs. I have purged, sudo purged and sometimes that helps, but these should not be acceptable options just to get a playback  It's crazy I am still having these issues on both computers. 

I stumbled across this bug when opening up an old project in AE 22 where my stacked Grid effects were no longer functioning correctly.  Version number: 22.6.0OS: Windows 10 ProAlso, changing GPU acceleration on/off doesn't change the result. Steps to reproduce1. Create a 1920x1080 25fps composition2. Create a solid that matches comp size3. Apply Grid effect, set the Size From to Width Slider, set Width to 100, and set Border to 84. Change the Grid Blending Mode to None5. Duplicate the Grid effect and change the Width to 50, and set Border to 46. Change the Grid 2 effect Blending Mode to Normal Expected Behaviour: Both Grid effects should be visible.Actual Result: 2nd Grid effect completely erases the 1st. See attached project & screenshots.

When I send projects from After Effects into Media Encoder they usually render quite quickly, in a few hours at most.For some reason, videos over 20 minutes are taking over 40 hours to render. This didn't used to happen.Why is this happening?

I'm using AE latest beta, alongside with the latest official realease. In both I'm getting warning signs that says my machine is out of ram, when it actually has plenty (in sometimes it seems AE doens't free that RAM).I'm running AE 23.1.0.27 for the beta version and AE 22.6. It seems this bug is present in the latest release, because I never had this kind of issue before (actually I'm not able to make ram preview without getter the warning sign).My machine is a Macbook pro 16 M1 MAX with 32gb of ram, running Monterey 12.6.I'm attaching a screenshot where you can see, that even AE only consuming 7gb of ram, is still printing the RAM message. I need help please 

Strange AE issue that I'm experiencing, in that during any final render (Render Queue), if I minimize the AE application window or give focus to another non-AE window (i.e., if i bring the focus to a web browser), the render queue performance drops dramatically. (in task manager [or activity monitor on a mac] I can see the GPU usage dropping from ~15% to ~2% and a similar 5x-7x drop in the CPU usage - moments after i minimize the application) I originally noticed this on my PC (v22.5.0) and after an OS update have noticed on my macbook as well (am using 17.1.1 on the mac). Been using AE for well over a decade and never experienced this behavior.  Wondering if anyone has seen the same thing or had any ideas.  Current workaround is to simply not use the mac or PC at all when Render Queue is active & ensure the AE application is both active and has the machine's focus.  

Hi, AE will not let me select all of my text with my cursor no matter how hard I try.I downloaded the latest beta and this issue still persists. This basically inhibits me from doing any work efficiently being that I work with a lot of text on a daily basis. Please fix this very BASIC and core issue. The stability and updates for AE and Premiere have been extremely disappointing lately.It feels like you people just stopped caring about your user base.

When using my cursor to highlight text, the last character will always be omitted from the selection.

With Ae 2023 (does not seem to happen on either 2022 or the latest beta) seems like scripts that run on startup and use:app.beginUndoGroup(), app.endUndoGroup()Result in After-Effects throwing an erorr: It's pretty simple to reproduce:1. Create a jsx file with the following contents:app.beginUndoGroup("Undo Group Test"); app.endUndoGroup(); 2. Save it and place it in the "Startup" folder of After-Effects3. Relaunch After-Effects 2023 This is also relevant to ScriptUI panels that are docked to the interface.Let me know if you need any further information. It happens to my on my M1 MacBook Pro 14" but users reported the same on Windows 11.

I'd like to report an issue we are facing since After Effects 22.4 and 22.5 (it doesn't affect AE 22.3) on two different workstations running macOS 12.4 Monterey.This, by the way, doesn't happen on a windows 10 workstation.The problem is easily reproducible. In a project, create 3 compositions with different aspect ratio, 1920x1080, 1080x1080, 1080x1920 .When you queue the composition in this order 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, the last rendered (9:16) seems to be squashed in a 1:1 ratio, with a green rectangle at the bottom.When rendering in 16:9,9:16, 1:1, the last rendered (1:1) outputs to a corrupted file. I'm rendering to prores quicktime files.I uploaded a frame from the wrong the 9:16 output.

Anyone else having issues entering type into the expression editor within Beta After Effects (most up to date version)? It's painfully diffuclt, the keys on my keyboard (M1 Macbook 2022) just are not registering. It takes three or four times to get a character to actually type. 

Windows PCWhen I try and import a Cinema 4D Scene into AE 2022, I get this error message:Running C4D R26, latest AE 2022.How can I get this working, pretty vital to have C4D scene compatibity.Thanks so much

After Effects 22.4 and 22.5 are popping up multiple dialog boxes related to memory leaks in Particle Playground (when used in a composition) if the application is exited without first closing the project.
