I’m experiencing a severe performance issue with After Effects 2025 on Windows:as soon as I open the program, RAM and Disk usage instantly jump to 100%, even with an empty project.This happens with:No project loadedA blank projectOnly one empty compositionClean installation of AENo plugins installed (fresh install)The program becomes unusable and the entire system slows down heavily.1. Main symptoms RAM → 95–100% usage immediatelyAfter Effects alone consumes nearly all of my 32 GB RAMEven without any project, layers, effects, or mediaWindows becomes slow after opening AE Disk → 80–100% usageDisk usage spikes to the maximumStops only after killing Adobe background processes, but RAM remains maxed outAfter Effects sometimes locks the NVMe at constant high read/write usage (70–100 MB/s)2.

When After Effects enacts an auto-save, the auto-save window should not appear if the user is currently using another program. For example, I was in the middle of a complex selection in Photoshop when the After Effects Auto save window popped up over the work I was in the middle of. I was unable to see my cursor until the auto-save window disappeared so I had to stop was I was doing and wait. I don’t think it’s necessary for an After Effects alert to encroach on the screen of another program being used.
Dear Adobe Support Team,I am currently developing a Premiere Pro C++ plugin. We are creating a plugin that is intended to be localized in Chinese. However, when modifying the PiPL file to define the Name and Category fields, we have encountered issues with using Chinese characters:If we set the Category to Chinese, the plugin can be built, but the displayed text in Premiere Pro becomes garbled.If we set the Name to Chinese, the project fails to build entirely.Could you please let us know if there is an official way to support Chinese characters in the PiPL file, or if there are recommended best practices to handle plugin names and categories in non-ASCII languages?Thank you very much for your assistance.Best regards,
Issue #1:I used to change the state of the On/Off icon for an effect with no restrictions. The state would change as fast as I could click the button. Now, I must move the cursor off the eye icon and back on to change the state. Steps to Reproduce:Add any effect to a layer. Click the eye icon next to the effect name in the Effects Control panel more than once per second. The state (on/off) of the effect does not change. The faster the eye is clicked the less likely it is to change states.It seems like moving the cursor off of the eye icon then back on resets the eye icon’s ability to be changed.

So as you can see, in this particular project, the timeline is ghosted, when you mouse over it, some of the timeline comes back, then if you click elsewhere, the timeline vanishes again. I’ve deleted the cash files, no effect. The really strange thing is other projects do not do this, I get these random ones that just won’t load. You can enter text on the playback but you can’t select anything in the timeline. Vanishes as soon as you attempt to mouse over it. I am working with the latest AE 26.5. Any ideas? And don’t come back with add the comp to a new comp, that does not work and it’s a workaround.
어도비의 어떤 프로그램을 사용해도 멈추거나 하지 않지만애프터 이펙트만 실행하자마자 응답없음으로 멈추거나무사히 파일이 열린다해도 1분도 안되서 프로그램이 응답없음으로 멈추게 됩니다.얼마전까지 25.3 버전으로 잘 작동되었는데 갑자기 프로그램이 멈추고 충돌현상이 일어나서최종적으로 컴퓨터까지 갈아엎었지만 여전히 제대로 작동하지 않습니다.도대체 어떻게 해야될지 모르겠어요
I’m currently using an older version of After Effects available through Creative Cloud, but it’s lagging and crashing frequently. Sometimes, I’m not even able to work for 5 minutes without facing an issue.I’m using a 2019 MacBook Pro with an Intel i9 processor, and I’m facing performance issues with the newer versions of After Effects. I would like to install an older version, preferably from 2018–2019, so that I can work more smoothly.I don’t need the latest features or updates. I just want a stable version that runs smoothly on my Mac.

Здравствуйте, хотелось бы видеть на сайте адекватные переводы с английского на русский и украинский языки, особенно это касается справки "After Effects Help" то есть обучающие и помогающие материалы. Особенно на украинском языке где перевод справки отсутствует как таковой, а при переключении на русский постоянно появляется уведомление о смене региона что к проблеме не относится. Ну вот я захожу в справку, она на английском, хотя язык выбран украинский, самое простое это переключить язык на русский НО такой функции нет, есть только смена региона на россию, а зачем мне менять регион если я в Украине. Я хочу иметь возможность получить нужную информацию о приложении за которое я заплатила на укр. языке (потому что он то заявлен, он прописан, но сам перевод отсутсвует) не заморачиваясь с переключением на регион который пришел в мою страну с войной. Я даже могла бы предложить вам помощь с переводом на добровольных началах.
I’ve just upgraded to macOS 27 and, it seems, I can no longer debug a C++ plug-in I’m working on because Apple’s security blocks the debugger from attaching to After Effects. Specifically, I’m getting the following error:macOSTaskPolicy: (com.apple.debugserver) may not get the task control port of (After Effects) (pid: 5646): (After Effects) is hardened, (After Effects) doesn't have get-task-allow, (com.apple.debugserver) is a declared debugger(com.apple.debugserver) is not a declared read-only debugger LLMs recommend re-signing AE, but that does not seem to be a reasonable thing to do. I’m worried that doing so might trigger copy protection or break something. Not all issues can be solved by simply logging to files, so, what’s the suggested approach to debugging on macOS 27?
Hi, I’ve been trying to bring iphone clips into After Effects via Dynamic Link from Premiere (“Replace with After Effects Composition”).The iphone clips color seems ok before I bring them into After Effects:But after I click “Replace with After Effects Composition” - if my After Effects “Working Color Space” is set to None then it causes issues in Premiere and often I have to restart Premiere.If I set the Working Color Space to Rec 709 Gamma 2.4, then I don’t get an error message but the iphone clips show up extremely over-exposed and weirdly colored in After Effects:I imagine that that if I just convert the clips to Prores or something then I won’t have this error, but is there a way that I can avoid these error messages and issues without having to convert the clips to prores for every project I work on? This doesn’t seem to be an issue with non-iphone clips and this wasn’t happening at all with any clips until the past couple years. I’ve tried disabling the color in Premiere, but th
Motion Tracker has an issue tracking a time-manipulated layer. Make a Right-click → Render in Place before it’s too late. Pre-compose - Render - Import - Replace is 90s level solution.
Hoje em dia descobrir qual plugin está consumindo memória e CPU e gpu é impossível, se tivesse um painel onde pudéssemos ver separadamente quanto cada plugin usa poderíamos saber quem é o causador da falta de memória ou uso excessivo de gpu ou cpu
Many years ago it was possible to import AAFs directly into After Effects with Automatic Duck. Now the workaround is to import the AAF into Premiere and then open the premiere project in After Effects. I would love the ability to start my compositing without the circuitous import process.
When do I get the "Unknown BIB Error" error in After Effects? A bad font or corrupted font cache could cause this error to appear in the following situations: While previewing. When opening a project. In some cases, you might see this error at launch. Solution: Our community recommends the following solutions: • Reload Illustrator files - Right-click the Illustrator files in the Project panel and select Reload Footage • Remove newly installed and duplicate fonts. Instructions are below - Windows: https://bit.ly/3Uf9fwK macOS: https://apple.co/3BzjqF3 • Clear the font cache. Instructions are below - Windows: https://bit.ly/3B7u841 macOS: Restart your Mac in Safe mode to automatically remove font cache: https://bit.ly/3La85yh • Clear After Effects preferences - https://adobe.ly/3t5x7Hd
Request: Would love to be able to parametrically adjust the corner radius of individual corners of rounded rectangles in AE. Similar to illustrator / figma. I know this can be done through scripting / expressions, but would love to see native controls to create shapes like this. Would simplify things greatly. Example from figma:
iam using the latest updated After Effects, in the new updated version, iam getting a White block shape appearing behind vectors in After Effects after importing from illustrator, and i cant attach the illustrator work file here in the community post,
I have project made in AE26.3 where I am using varible OpenSans font to achieve decided effects. After I updated to AE26.5 it is not working and OpenSans variable is not installed / seen by AE. Other variable fonts are, but not OpenSans. Only fixed weight variant is available.It also show missing OpenSans Roman variable - I do not know why roman, but I believe that should be the problem - wrong indentification. But until it will be fixed I have to use older version, sadly..
About 2 months ago I updated my After Effects from 24.5 to 25.5. Editing and all of that are working pretty well, but when it comes to rendering, it's super slow. When I was using the 24.5 version of AE, rendering was pretty fast, but now I have to wait over 10 minutes to render a short video of 2 minutes. I've tried multiple things: updating my drivers, clearing cache, enabling the multi-frame rendering feature, and none of these things did much. My PC specs are definitely more than good enough and it doesn't make any sense for render to be that slow, I'll list them below: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600K32GB DDR4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Waiting for it to finish rendering is taking too much of my time away, if someone could help me with this problem that would be awesome, thanks!
Hi all, Bit of a random one that's bugged me for a while and I've never been able to figure out, hopefully somebody can help! I want to animate the scale of the characters in a text later but notice the achor point is always sitting at the bottom of each character (see image below, have circled the anchor points). I'd like to shift these achor points to the center on the text so the characters scale from the middle rather than the bottom, has anybody figured out a way to do this? Any help would be great! Many thanks!
Issue Built-in Unmult leaves residual alpha instead of producing fully transparent pixels. Steps to reproduce Create a composition. Import footage with a black background. Apply the built-in Unmult effect. Inspect the alpha channel. Expected result The alpha value should become 0 in transparent areas. Actual result A residual alpha value remains (equivalent to 1 in 8-bit). The issue also occurs in 16 bpc projects. Environment After Effects 26.0 Windows 11 Additional information This issue does not occur with third-party Unmult plugins such as Knoll Unmult or Red Giant Unmult.
Used Materials are still listed in the Project Panel when only ‘Unused’ assets should be listed.Type “Unused” in the Project Panel It still comes up even though it’s “Used 2 times”This bug exists in the latest update as well as the Beta
Hello once again. Few days ago, I have come across a weird problem / glitch / crash that occurs that has never happened before. In an After Effects project that I am doing, I am planning on making the boomerang effect. Basically, I want to put slow-motion to a clip and then duplicate it, and reverse the duplicated layer, to give it an effect similar to boomerang. But something weird happens every time I do so. I want to give boomerang effect to different parts of a video, with the frame rate of 23.978. So in my first clip, I would pre-compose it, put twixtor pro to it (I put the frame rate of the video as it is in the twixtor, which is 23.978), then pre-compose again. Then I duplicated that pre-composed layer with twixtor inside it. I moved it right next to the 1st layer, and then I what I did was : right click > Time > Time-reverse layer. It worked perfectly fine. But then, I cut to another part of the video to make the boomerang effect with and also to put twixtor. So I did the
With Photoshop or Lightroom, removing unwanted objects in your frame is a breeze nowadays. I’m suggesting a similar feature for After Effects. Thank you, Rebecca, for taking notes for this idea at IBC26.I imagine it working like this:The first step is to create a mask, either manually or with the same engine as the new object mask tool in Premiere. Then, within a new floating window (as in Photoshop), you can either click to remove the object or describe a prompt for what to add. Also, there should be an option for a reference image (with an eyedropper to quickly grab a frame from the project). Maybe you can also reference a composition. There also should be an option to choose the right video model. Maybe also a button to expand/shrink the mask when the selection is very tight. This would avoid hard edges between an object to remove and the background, and the AI would give more room to work with. Removing object:When removing objects, the AI should take temporal information into acco
