After Effects

I am looking to create a dynamic social text box in After Effects. Would anyone be able to share a tutorial or advise how to create this?

I caption in premiere but there is an effect I can only do in after effects on the subtitles after I upgrade to graphic. I do replace with after effects composition and it makes each text a separate composition which makes it really time-consuming to put the effects on. Is there a better way to get graphics into AE? Or a way to make them layers instead of compositions?

LLMs and prompting for After Effects scripts and expressions - an introduction to prompting and how to get the most out of it.Last Sunday, I shared some details on this topic - here's the link to the post on CreativeCOW which has the link to the recorded session as well as URLs to supporting videos and PDF of the Slides used during the event -https://creativecow.net/forums/thread/adobe-adds-an-ai-assistant-mcp-to-after-effects-beta-private-beta/page/2/#post-2478428 

Desinstalé after 2024 y cuando quise volver a instalarlo al renovar mi licencia me da este error, ya intenté con varias cosas pero nada funciona. A alguien más le pasó? Y como lo resolvió? 

It’s been years since I have tried to use Character Animator to auto-detect lip sync for After Effects cartoon characters. I wasn’t happy with the results.I have been using a .MOV file with time remapping and keyframes, where I scrub through the timeline audio and I set keyframes for the phonemes. The MOV file has a frame for each mouth, I scrub, I keyframe.Right now I am making a project where most of the characters only have four different mouths for pretty much all of the sounds. Has anyone managed to build a better mousetrap for auto-detecting phonemes, are am I still resigned to scrubbing & keyframing?Thanks. 

I'm trying to follow the 'Top 10 Skills Editors Want to Master in After Effects' course, but the download for the project files don't work. I've tried to download them many times and in many different ways, but the download keeps getting corrupted. Only I read that multiple people have this problem.Does anyone have a different link for the project files or can the download please be updated?

I created a fairly simple composition featuring infographics. It uses shapes, text, and a few PNG images animated with the Puppet Pin Tool. My PC is quite powerful and has always handled this kind of workload.While I'm working in AE, the playback speed seems normal, and I set the animation timings according to what I see (at any resolution from full to quarter). In the Preview panel, the frame rate matches the composition, and no frames are skipped.Then I render my 2560x1440, 60 fps composition. I don't use interlacing, and the render settings are set to Best Settings. The composition is output in H264 with a bitrate of 10 Mbps. After rendering, it turns out that everything played back twice as slow in AE, and now I see a pretty fast animation.Key point: I intentionally saved the project file as version 25 so I could test it in a previous version of AE. There the composition plays correctly, and it is really quite fast inside AE already, just like in the render.My Specs:Windows 11 CPU:

After Effects crashes constantly, black screen and windows become unresponsive.This happens about last week. Everytime I scrub any file (jpg/png/mp4/vector) After effects lags down, black screen and unresponsive.Other software I use does not experience this lag. I have updated the Graphic driver, no effects. I’ve changed the settings in AE, so far no effects.My specs:Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H (1.40 GHz) 32.0 GB (31.4 GB usable) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU (6 GB) Intel(R) Arc(TM) Graphics (128 MB) Storage: 668 GB of 954 GB usedPlease suggest me what to do about this constant problem. I can’t use AE at all.

What should be the value to get an exact cube?  

I’m a Video Editor who edits for fun, specifically using After Effects 2020. I edit on an HP laptop, with an AMD RYZEN processor. Whenever I make video edits, when I zoom out into a black background/no background (specifically while editing pictures), I see some weird lines that sort of act as motion tile near my footage. This only happens if I am editing in a way where I am using no motion tile or reflect in my transitions.I have tried multiple effects and methods, as well as different settings to try to help but nothing helps.I’ve tried adding a black solid layer in the background, adding slight motion tile, etc. I am wondering if the cause for this is the After Effects settings/version itself, or my Laptop (settings/model). I have had other versions of After Effects, and I have had 2020 before on a different laptop but never faced this issue. I will include photos as an example: 

I love the secret projects that accompany each version of After Effects, but I only thought to save the last couple.  Is there an archive of them anywhere?

With the release of the Mac Studio with M5 Ultra, and Apple’s eye-watering RAM pricing, I’m trying to work out the best upgrade route for overall performance.I currently have a Mac Studio with the top-spec M2 Ultra and 192GB of unified memory. The comparable upgrade would be the top-spec M5 Ultra, but with only 96GB of memory. The jump to 256GB adds roughly £4,000, which simply isn’t viable.Would cutting my memory from 192GB to 96GB undermine the performance gains of the M5 Ultra? Would having only 96GB alongside the maxed-out CPU and GPU create a bottleneck, or does that only become an issue if my workloads actually exceed the available memory?Alternatively, would I be better off choosing the top-spec M5 Max with 128GB of unified memory? It would have less CPU and GPU power than the M5 Ultra, but gives me more memory at a much more reasonable price.My main work is motion graphics, primarily After Effects, alongside Cinema 4D and other Adobe applications. Which configuration is likely

# After Effects 26.3.0 aborts at startup on macOS 26.6.2 (Apple Silicon) — 26.2.1 works, 53/53 launches failed**Workaround, for anyone stuck: roll back to 26.2.1.**Creative Cloud → After Effects → **⋯** → **Other versions** → 26.2.1. Running fine here after 53 consecutive failed launches on 26.3.0. A full uninstall/reinstall of the Creative Cloud suite is *not* needed.**This is not the "After Effects freezes before the splash screen" issue.** Those reports describe a hung process — beachball, "not responding" in Force Quit. Here the process is never hung: it stays responsive, puts up an error dialog, and **exits cleanly with status 0** after a few seconds.

After import an Adobe Illustrator file (30.7), After effects(25.0.0) displays the vector art with a white backgroundAfter effects shows me the vector art like a flattened image!This has never happened to me before, and I need a solution. 

I can't find a way to get SVG images into my composition. EPS is just drag and drop but SVG... I can't through any route.I must be missing something.

When adding an Object Matte to 25fps interlaced, AE requires to switch the Comp to 50 fps. Although imho this processing should happen under the hood, I can understand why that is needed. But the thing is, when doing so, the timing is changed: the Comp length is doubled in time. I think time should remain the same.Is this new behavior? I remember that changing frame rate in Comp settings did not affect Duration in seconds.Please repair, or give the option in the Comp settings to maintain time or frames.  (Materialy is a typo in the heading - can’t edit it)
