After Effects

Hi, I'm running into a reproducible visibility problem in After Effects 26.5x89 (release version) when several instances of the same precomp have Collapse Transformations enabled.Each instance has its own Essential Property settings, but the menu content inside them seems to follow the uppermost collapsed instance. The settings themselves stay correct. The three renders below show how changing only which instances are collapsed changes where the menu appears.Same frame, three Collapse configurations. The steps below explain the differences.My setupThe parent comp, Thumbnail (Hor) 01, uses Advanced 3D. The repeated precomp, Property, uses Classic 3D. Inside Property, Menu Comp is a 3D precomp layer, alpha-matted by Row. Its visibility is controlled by expressions using the instance's Essential Properties, including a dropdown called Value Type.The instance I'm focusing on is timeline layer 11, with Value Type = 4 (Menu). The values on layers 10–15 are:10 → 1; 11 → 4 (Menu); 12 → 3 (Bool

Importando una composición con capas de un archivo .ai de illustrator, importa las capas con fondo blanco en lugar de con la transparencia correspondiente, tanto en capas con texto como de elementos vectoriales. Todo el tamaño de todas las capas sustituyen la transparencia por un fondo blanco. He probado a iniciar el programa en modo seguro y continúa haciendo lo mismo.

Is there a list yet for MacOS 27 Golden Gate Compatibility with After Effects?

I really need the versions from 2021 to 2024, the support didn't help me at all and I don't know what to do. I just physically can't work normally in the 2025 and 2026 versions, even with good hardware, the optimization is terrible for me. How can I get the archives, maybe someone has them if that's possible?

I am recording a CRT vector display with my Iphone. The display I am recording is a modified game console called a Vectrex. I want to composite multiple frames of the vector drawing to create a temporal accumulation/trail effect. What is the best After Effects workflow for isolating the phosphor signal and combining multiple time-offset copies using Add/Screen while retaining the fine vector lines? Any assistance would be great.

Okay so i recently bought after effects newest version to fix this problem but it still isnt fixed!So everytime i play my project back a few times i get these errors below and honestly its getting tiring having to reload footage/readd footage/replace footage, is this a bug with everyone or just me?All my clips are in one file, i cleared my disk cache and everything. these clips are not premier related so i dont know what other fixes may help end this issue because it is honestly very  inconvienient. 

When option dragging or via menu. Just what to replace but at a specific point 

I have this GIF animation for my job that I created in After Effects and sent to Media Encoder I set it to Animated GIF and matched the settings. When i play it in my web browsers they all do the same thing. The text is repeating as it slides, can someone please explain what is causing this.

I’ve an interesting issue.  I have spent a bit of time recreating the look of AE’s expression editor as a Per Character styling expression.  It’s not complete yet, but serves my purposes… but the per-frame render time add 5s each frame.  And rendering out a 90 second sequence took 90 minutes. I’m wondering if there’s a way to bake the expression styling once done. Here’s the code if anyone wants to experiment:///// HEX COLOR CONFIGURATION //////var hexBase = "#D4D4D4"; // Off-whitevar hexBlue = "#3E8FE1"; // Blue (Keywords)var hexLtBlue = "#48D9FD"; // Light Blue (Numbers)var hexPink = "#F67476"; // Pink (Strings)var hexYellow = "#9D9039"; // Yellow (Brackets)var hexLightYellow = "#DCBE84"; // Yellow (reserved terms)var hexGreen = "#6A9955"; // Green (Comments)var hexCursor = "#FFFFFF"; // White (Cursor)///// Convert Hex to AE-friendly RGB [0,1]function hexToRgb(hex) { var r = parseInt(hex.slice(1, 3), 16) / 255; var g = parseInt(hex.slice(3, 5), 16) / 255; var

i can’t find the contextual task bar after hiding temporally and inot know how find now 

I’m having multiple issues with a project and rather than trying to explain in detail every problem, It’d be a whole lot easier to just share my screen with an After Effects expert and show them what the problems are.

Hello,I have this weird thing happening in AE 2026 (Version 26.5.0 Build 89) on Win11:I created a simple comp to generate a Mogrt from. I did this hundreds of times of the last years so I know the procedure.This time however, when hitting the Export Motion Graphics Template… button in the Essential Graphics Window, AE only creates a Temporary Comp for Preview Generation (basically a duplicate of the comp I creating a Mogrt from).AE doesn’t give me the typical window for further details of where to store it/what to include/etc.It simply stops after generating that duplicate comp.I tried the same thing on Mac and it works as it should. Same version, same build: AE 2026 Version 26.5.0 Build 89.On the Win11 machine, I emptied all the caches, even reset all the preferences to default, comp 3D renderer set to Classic, etc. Nothing works.I attached a video of the whole process...What to do? Is it a bug?Please advice. Thank you.
