After Effects

I am at a loss...the last thing I remember doing was hitting F9 to make an easy ease on a layer and suddenly all of my layers except for one disappered out of my comp viewer. The layers are still in my project, I just can't see them. The screen shot of what I am looking at is below. Please help!

Please help fix the LIQUIFY tool is not working on After Effects 2020.

Hi, i am trying to build this CEP extension for Adobe After Effects where it will 80% depend on scene edit detection, and i tried to find the API to trigger the scene edit detection just by clicking a button , but i couldnt find any useful information , i would appreciate it if anyone helped me .

I have recently started using ae and I wanted to make the 3d text stay on the bridge. I have tried redoing the detailed analysis multiple times and everytime it becomes the same. No matter which points i choose it still moves. When i place ground and plane then it stays where I would like it but as soon as i change the angle or move the xyz axiys a tiny bit it goes back to moving alot. Idk what to do anymore. It was shot on a dji drone if that makes any difference. The average pixel error is 0.9

So I'm making a Call Of Duty edit, but I'm having an issue.  I have applied Twixtor Pro to sync the clips, I slowed down the clips to 30% speed, but the issue I'm having is that the actual clips stops before the footage does, (example picture below).  Please help me fix this because this edit is going very well and I really do not want to scrap it.  Thank you!

I use mac, so I edit in rec.709-A instead of regualr rec.709. That way, the footage looks the same in DaVinci as it does after export, and when uploading to the internet.  The problem comes when importing footage that I have exported form DaVinci into AE. The colors are more saturated and contrasty. Its dificult to match manualy through grading, and it makes me think that it has to be a way.  I have yet encontered anyone with the same problem, or a solution.  Soluton or suggestions on how to fix this is appreciated!

EXR file alpha channels are not being rendered correctly. Some frames will have empty alphas, some frames with only show a small strip at the top of the frame. The same projects work fine in 24.3.2. 

So recently AE has started needing to completely redo the whole ram prieview with any small change in the timeline. (including audio) It's painfully awful. I move 1 keyframe on a shape layer and eveything has to load into ram preview again, EVERYTHING. Over and over with any small change. It never used to do this. I've been using After Effects for 13 years professionally. I know my way around it well. Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop? I've tried everything i can think of from resetting preferences to disabling plug-ins. I'm runing the most recent version on a Powerfull PC. Latest version, all drivers and windows up to date. 

Hello, Iam trying to use an extension for After Effects I have installed properly (used aescripts for it).However, When i Launch Affter Effects and i go to Windows and go for Extensions, it is greyed out and not clickable. I tried to restart in debug mode, empty cache, check the versions, nothing seems to work, and I didn't find an exact answer on internet. Thanks a lot !

Hi,I am using AE 15.1.1 (build 12) on a Windows 10 machine (specs at the bottom).I've created a simple composition with just a camera layer (all default settings) and a text layer set as 3D.When using the 2 Views - Horizontal layout, the right view is showing fine as Active Camera. The left view is completely blank (picture below). The parameters beneath the views do change when I click between the two views, but there is nothing on the left side: no blue corner triangles, no description of the camera view angle (Top), nothing.This has happened previously and restarting AE helped that time. It was working until I restarted AE again and now the left view is missing again. Restarting no longer helps, nor does recreating the composition from scratch or changing/resetting the workspace.----OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 HomeVersion 10.0.16299 Build 16299Other OS Description Not AvailableOS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Name DESKTOP-4A6UDRVSystem Manufacturer HPSystem Model HP Note

This is definitely a noob question, and I am STUCK with my plugin development. Here's the very basic idea of what I'm trying to achieve. - Layer 1: Keyed/Roto'ed footage- Apply plugin- It's as if Layer 1 is duplicated, and the 'back' layer has a Gaussian blur on it. How do you do that in an AE plugin? I think glow plugins are like this. You're not really affecting the input footage-- that stays as is, but you are affecting a copy of that footage and then comping it over/under it. 😬 Thanks!

Hi, my timeline doesn't show time in seconds , it happened today, I've already tried to Ctrl+click on timecode , checked it in project settings, composition setting and display in preferences,  I don't know what to do , it is so annoying 

Hello guys,Is there a way to change the language of the entered text, for example from English to Bulgarian This is a screenshot from Illustrator. As you can see in the character, we have this option to change the input language. Here I putted it on Bulgarian. 

If this registry key is present in the system, then After Effects 25.4 crashes on startup:reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options" /v DevOverrideEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1AE runs the Microsoft AI MachineLearning block from the ACR module. The Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning.dll library (c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning.dll) has version 1.17. This library runs the onnxruntime.dll library. Without the DevOverrideEnable registry key, onnxruntime.dll version 1.17 is used (c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\onnxruntime.dll). With this registry key, onnxruntime.dll version 1.22 is used (c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\onnxruntime.dll). Due to the large version difference, Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning.dll v1.17 and onnxruntime.dll v1.22 are incompatible. This leads to the above problem. In AE version 25.3.2, onnxruntime.dll v1.19 was

Hi, at the moment I am learning the basic principles of animation in AE, and I have encountered a problem. In any composition with animation that I have created, the CTRL+ALT shortcut for creating a bezier curve directly in the composition window does not work, and the "Move across time" button is also blocked, but as soon as I open other people's compositions, everything works. I don't quite understand what the problem could be, maybe someone  encountered something similar? Even the vertex transform tool works exclusively in the diagram editor.  I would be very grateful if anyone could help!  

I am having a problem where everytime I try to importat a Photoshop file as a Comp, it crashes.  I am import the same files as footage and they import fine.  It happens every time with all verisons of AE 22, up to 22.1.1.  The project it creates as a result of the crash as the comp created form the PS file, but nothing in it.   I have attached the crash warning.  anyone else seen this or found a solution?  My workaround it to importat each layer individually as footage.  Thanks,Scott

Hi there, the following behaviour has happened to me a few times the last days.I have an EXR Cryptomatte image sequence that works fine for the most part. The issue is that one specific frame shows black, as if the Cryptomatte effect is not affecting it.File size of that spefic frame is correct and it opens in photoshop normally -via Exr-IO pluging etc.AE, drivers, Windows and Mac (problem persists on both OS) are updated.Things I've tried:I imported that single frame -not as a sequence- and it works and acts fine (in fact I'm using this as the way to solve this issue, but it's a pain)I have tried replacing that frame with another one from the sequence (copied and renamed) and the problem persists -so it's not the actual frame it seems.Also tried with previous version of AE, problem persists.Thanks in advance for any help

Hey there! I'm trying to make an remake of this logo orbit/spin thing in After Effects.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_FHOk2P6c Full video for example) First of all, is this an animation preset? If so where could i find it?If it's something custom, is there an tutorial for it? i don't know what it is called so i couldn't find it. How can i recreate it? I tried to make it by parenting the logo to null object and keyframing it in 3D Space but it's good and not even close to the one in example.

hello, I had some slider on a layer and have keyframes on it, and when I tried to stagger these keyframes.I didn't behave as I expected.You can watch the video to see the bug.Thank you!

Hi, I dnt understand something. I want a mask path (I masked a text) to follow a shape layer's path. so That I dnt need to create multiple keyframes. but the text mask path changes its position the moment I whip it with the rectangle's path keyframes. I want the animation to be same, red rectangle will reveal and simultaneously the text mask will reveal another text beneath (white text,) . so long I created keyframes for two layers. one rectangle path and the mask path. Then Suddenly I think why dnt I use expression. I can use expression to link one's path with another. right? But as usual I failed. 😣 please help me. please 😥 no way I can insert gif or any images. weird
