After Effects

Please fix the confusing migration confirmation dialogue box (popup), which is is needlessly unclear and needs revision. The migration confirmation dialogue asks a yes-or-no type question and provides a very clear negative option for a response. However, it provides two options for a positive response (I think), but which are bewildering. Each button just shows the application name and a version identifier: After Effects (25.3) and After Effects (25.2), Illustrator (29.7.2) and Illustrator (29.7.1), etc. Is this the new version and the version I was using last? Is this two versions where settings were detected? What version am I using when I see this? (Hmmm. I don't know. I can't check without answering first.) What happens when I select either version? 

Last 4-5 days, I can't open my AF. It is always showing (Crash repair options). But after that I cann't click any option. What should I do? Is there any solution?

Quiero descargar la version mas antigua que pueda proporcionar adobe. 

I was given .mov files and they imported washed out in after effects. I used an adjustment layer to fix the colors and it looked good, but when I was ready to export, the colors were messed up again. I've tried following things from gpt, like trying to interepret the footage, change the color profile settings, all sorts of stuff but nothing is working. It's tough to find anything about this online and I need to get this fixed.  Im running the latest version of AE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've stumbled upon these really useful functions, but they only seem to work for me in expressions, and when I try to use them in my script, I get the function undefined message. It would be really weird if they didn't implement this feature for scripts..Am I missing something?

 Just curious, how would you pros rotoscope something like this? The blacks in this stock footage is 100% black, no amount of color correcting can bring up any kind of contrast between the background and the subject. I'm honestly surprised how after effects even found some kind of edge to grab on to. But obviously, the mask is all over the place. Is my only option hand masking this? This is a super slow motion shot so I feel like im in for a long night...  

When writing a script that calls replaceWithPlaceholder(), an error is thrown if the 'name' parameter is greater than 31 characters/bytes in length: "Unable to call 'replaceWithPlaceholder' because of parameter 1. The string is too long, it can only be 31 bytes after conversion." I've seen forum threads from 2014 regarding this, so it's a very old issue. Thanks!

I tried to search so much about toCompVec, fromCompVec online.But, I found nothing usefull.So I am asking what does exaclty toCompVec and fromCompVec do????I know how toComp and fromComp, it takes a vector(point as mathmatical representaion) and just see What is the visual equivilant vector in the other vector space(trying to explain intuitively without linear algebra details).So what does toCompVec do exactly, in math language or after effects.Thank you!

I have been working in the same project file containing numerous compositions of varying sizes but minimal complexity for the past year without issue on my M4 MAX Macbook Pro until installing After Effects 25.3 last month which caused AE to freeze during every attempt to open or import it.  After trying all of the usual troubleshooting steps (reset preferences, start in safe mode, clear caches) I uninstalled After Effects and installed a previous version.  This worked and I was able to open the project file and continue work as usual.  After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.6 I tried installing After Effects 25.3.3 to see if the latest update might have remedied the issue but was met with the same spinning ball that never completes opening or importing the project.  I reverted to 25.2.2 but that version was no longer able to import or open the project.  I uninstalled all of the fonts in the Creative Cloud app just in case that might be the culprit but it did not ma

Hi everybody! I'm havin issues with a rather complex MoGrT involving a heap of expressions. There are randomly ocurring glitches in the resulting videos, where results of expression calculations seem to get lost. I consulted Copilot and they seem to think that there might be issues with my inconsistent use of .value. But even though using .value obviously makes a differencethrow typeof(transform.opacity) // -> function throw typeof(transform.opacity.value) // -> numberthe returned value of both these statements is the same:transform.opacity.value // -> 100 transform.opacity // -> 100 Copilot claims that "Both work, but .value ensures you're getting the actual value, not the expression object." So would I be right in understanding that omitting .value will trigger an re-evaluation of the expressions for transform.opacity, while using .value retrieves a (formerly stored) result of said expressions?

Hey there! I am working on a project, where I am doing an 3D phone advertisement in after effects. I have to track some text next to the phone. The text is on a white shaper layer and I animated the size of the shape layer (disabled constrain proportions), set the first value to 0 and then to 100 so it kinda swipes in. I duplicated this layer and put it on top of my text layer and set the track matte of the text layer to alpha, so that it also swipes in. But when I turn on 3D-Layer the text disappears and moves behind the shape background and when I move it in front of the shape layer it works but stays there forever and the track matte isn't working anymore...Is there any way to fix this?

My adobe After effects is giving out this message on startup and it closes. i used to use this it started happening now i cant find a fix please help.

Headphones are crashing after effects...So.. I got new bluetooth headphones. These don't connect to my pc very well and get disconnected every few minutes but connect back a few seconds later. If I'm trying to use After effects while using these headphones the playback just stop working after a few minutes of editing and After Effect crashes. If the playback stoped working but after effects didn't crashed yet, opening the audio output menu in the preferences panel will crash it.It's unusable.Changes on the audio output shouldn't crash After Effects.Does anyone has any idea on how can I fix this? It only happen with these headphones, but I'd like to keep using them because the older ones I had brought me medical problems with my ear.   Is there a fix for this?(I can use other bluetooth headphones fine with After Effect. This problem only happen when I'm using these new bluetooth headphones, which work well on my phone but not on the pc)windows 10i5-10400fnvidia

I've been actively working on an Ae project for 3-4 days now, and I've been experiencing a “freezing image” issue since this morning that is completely blocking my progress on the project. After the error occurred, I tried to exit but couldn't, and Ae's error message said that 3D part plugins were the root cause of the problem. Frankly, I don't know what to do, but I've already spent over 25 hours on this project and still have a long way to go. Using After Effects without 3D part plugins is impossible for me, and this error isn't my fault. Thanks. My system: Macbook Pro | M4 Pro - 48 GB RAM

After years of using After Effects, the recent update seemed to be corupted. I uninstalled After Effects but now it won't download. stops at 1%.  Is After Effects down for everyone or just me? It's Sunday and I've been trying to install After Effects since Friday.  I need to have this project done by Monday morning. I don't think I'm going to make my deadline. Is there anyone who can help asap?

However many times I click on the master motion blur icon, it does not turn blue. There is a simple moving from one point to another. Even if I click the layer motion blur, it appears grey. Either the state of the switch is with a grey background or not, but never blue. 

During the preview video Current Time Indicator (CTI) is not moving, but the thing that move is that Redline, does anyone know how to fix it? it is so annoying to see that Redline. 

Bonjour, J'ai récemment acheté un nouveau pc plus performant que mon ancient pour travailler sur de plus gros montage vidéos pour mes clients seulement depuis que je l'ai acquis, after effect ne fais que crash à répétition, et "ne répond plus" et lorsque je force l'arrêt avec le gestionnaire de tâche, c'est impossible d'arrêter de processus, même à partir de l'onglet détail et arrêter l'arborescence du processus ça me marque "accès refusé" celà fait 4 jours que j'essaie de trouver une solution avec l'aide de chat GPT mais rien n'y fait.Mon nouvel ordinateur : MSI vestor 16 HX AI A2WIGJe tourne sous Windows 11 Famille 10.0.26100Carte graphique : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPUPilotes à jour : 580.97Porocesseur :  Intel Core Ultra 9 275HXRAM : 32Vram :16Stockage NVMe Samsung 1ToJ'ai déjà desinstaller tous mes plugins, desinstaller adobe puis réinstaller, puis reinstaller mes pilotes graphiques, essayer de mettre en logiciel mercury, enlever le rendu multi image, enlever l'accélér

Bug: On Windows, After Effects fallback fonts are broken for 5 major international character languages: Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, and Korean.   When After Effects encounters these fonts, it uses "Myriad Pro" as a fallback font which does not contain characters for these languages. After Effects displays blank, missing text and it appears broken and empty. The text does not appear unless user manually changes to a font with supporting unicode characters. This bug is also in MOGRTs exported from AE / imported in PPro.   This bug is not present on Mac devices, and the languages correctly use the following fallback fonts on Mac: Arabic: Damascus Persian: Damascus Urdu: Damascus Hebrew: Arial Korean: Apple Gothic   The languages below display correctly on Windows with their appropriate fallback fonts: Chinese: Meiryo Japanese: Meiryo Hindi: Adobe Devanagari Bengali: Nirmala UI Telugu: Nirmala UI Russian: Myriad Pro -------------------------------------

I have a new desktop PC (Intel Core Ultra i7, 64GB RAM, 2TB M.2. drive and 16GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX5070Ti), and the latest version of After Effects. I am using content aware fill to remove people from some drone footage. The clip is about 22 seconds long. I created a mask consisting of 7 nodes. It tracks the nodes perfectly quickly, at 1-2 frames per second. However, when I click Generate Fill Layer, while the first few dozen or even hundred frames seem to be quick, it slows down to an absolute crawly, taking over a minute per frame. It's a 4K 60FPS clip, and AE is having to render 1308 frames, but it's already taken about 3 hours to do 900. I did a sample on a 1-second clip and it was done in under a minute!? I have 48% of my RAM free, and CPU is currently running at 10-15% load. Disc activity is also low. I have two GPUs - the integrated and NVIDIA. The integrated is down at only a few percent, and the NVIDIA fluctuates between 1% and 10%, with only 6.7GB of RAM used. I

My PC has a crash on work and after that After Effects don't open more my project, this never been happened with me.I try some solutions like scannow on CMD, drag my project into a new project, reinstalling the program. But nothing works.I have a modest PC: I3 10100RX580SSD Sandisk Nvme 500gb

Hi everyone,I’ve been working with After Effects on Windows for a while now, but I’m considering switching over to a Mac for my motion graphics projects. I’ve noticed that some people say AE tends to run smoother and crash less often on macOS, while others argue that Windows machines give you more flexibility with hardware and performance.For those of you who’ve worked on both platforms, what’s been your experience? Do you find After Effects to be more stable on Mac, or is it about the same as Windows once you factor in good hardware?I’d love to hear your thoughts on performance, render times, plugins compatibility, and overall workflow differences between Mac and PC.Thanks!
