After Effects

hello,how do I  achieve, text layers updating automatically their name when changing text in the comp view ?it only does on new layers but never on duplicated ones !is that intended to be or is there a hidden preference or short cutthanks in advaneyours näSh

What way(s) can I  make an indoor audio from one clip match to an outdoor clip?   Trying to make the indoor clip sound like it is outside to match the other clip.  Is there a shortcut to it?  

 As you can see. The puppet pins will retain the initial position instead of following the letter N as it moves.How do I fix it?

whenever i save my ae edit to my phone or export it to the mega app, the audio is delayed, but in the after effects app everything is perfect. i've cleared all my cache and the problem is still occurring   Title edited by Mod.

I'm experimenting with 8K resolution... The Spherize effect has a limit of 2,500 and doesn't cover my entire video. In 4K, the Spherize effect works fine and covers the video completely, but I need the extra resolution of 8K. In 8K, the effect only covers about half of the video. Is there a way to bypass or increase the 2,500 limit?  (Dont want to use other effects, only Spherize do the thing that i want, already try the other ones)

I animated some text, and then went to switch to Cinema 4D to extrude and bevel it, etc. However, when I switch to Cinema 4D, the text disappears.  I believe this is linked to the "Enable Per Character 3D".  When I start with Cinema 4D turned on, then go to create the text animations and turn on the "Enable Per Character 3D" my text again disappears. Anyone else experience this and find a solution?  Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Lately I've been getting this annoying popup when trying to open an .aep from Finder: I have to go into Ae and "File>Open..." from there.Anyone else have this? Is there a fix?

Hi, I recently updated my After Effects to version 22.2. Since then any time I type in a text box the text begins typing backwards with the question marks and quotation marks ending up at the front of the text instead of the end. I've tried to look up fixes but everything I try doesn't work. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would be grateful. Thank you.

How can I render out my comp in front view? Unable to set my camera to work without distortion, but really, we should be able by now to do this?

This is the expresssion that I am using for a slider:effect("Slider Control")(1).value.toFixed(0)When I add a dollar sign"$"+effect("Slider Control")(1).value.toFixed(0)the expression breaks. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I want to create animation for fulldome format and searching for the best solution for my project. It will be abstract animation based on music, something similar to this Tamara Qaddoumi - Flowers Will Rot on Vimeo. But do not such "flat", maybe with combining 2D and 3D animation (for example, I want use the scene with flying through the starfield). I found that After Effects will be the most suitable software for me, because it has embedded VR tools with fulldome converter. But later I get in stuck when was searching how to do such "flow" animation in After Effects. I had done a couple of motion design tutorials, but someone told me, that animation mentioned above has been created in Adobe Animate. And now I am really frustrated and do not know what do. I am a beginner in animation, but have an experience with graphic design and worked in Indesing, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premier Pro, 3dsMax. So If you can help/advice how to deal with my problem I will be very grateful.

Hoping someone here may see and be able to help. I'm creating a dome animation with a 2D graphic background. It seemed straightforward. 2D source Input to Fisheye(Fulldome) but I'm getting a ton of pinching on the top and bottom. My input comp which has a very grid-like background is 4096x4096 with lots of animation, again, mostly 2D with some video and images, nothing crazy. See the image for the pinching at the polar coordinates. Also strangely, when my comp that has VR converter applied on it which is 4096x4096, VR converter shows nothing, when I set it to 4095x4095 it seems to work. Any tips would be appreciated.Also, the footage is not built as a 360, the grid is not perfectly seamless and it causes issues when created in a 6 sided box environment and animation would be much more difficult to have to map into a full 360 space.

I'm trying to run multiple render threads with aerender.exe and it seems the "software only" setting in the project is being ignored.  As soon as I start the renderings, the GPU usage goes crazy and after a short time it crashes and reboots the computer.  I used to render this way on a regular basis and aerender would always use the GPU setting in the project file.  It seems like it no longer does that and I can't find a parameter that controls it via the command line with aerender.exe. How do I disable GPU rendering when using aerender.exe?

After no issues with this workflow in 2024, my switch to 2025 has uncovered something strange. I seem unable to import image sequences, regardless of their origin.I have made a screen recording of the beahvious with a PNG sequence from blender, but the same result occurs with JPEG or PNG or DPX sequences from premiere/AE or any other image sequence.... and these same sequences all import into 2024 no issue.AE won't even acknowledge there is an image sequence to import, until I set file type manually. However, even after that, when I try to import, it argues the file type (it reads it as "") despite the .png being present (I cannot see it in the AE import window, but it is there when the name is checked in properties).Youtube link to behaviour:https://youtu.be/_cOTsLaVzi4Very curious. Would love to get this resolved.
