After Effects

Hello,I am trying to repurpose an After Effects file for another project. The original composition was set at 1080x720 in the AE file I received, but I had to change the size to 1920x1080 for the new project.I've already changed the size of the composition using the "Composition Settings" but I am wondering if there is a way to scale/resize all of my layers to correspond to my new composition size of 1920x1080 without having to do a ton of repositioning. There are a lot of elements and transitions that I would like to keep, and I'm hoping I don't have to recreate too much of that.I know I am basically moving from a 3:2 (1080x720) to a 16:9 (1920x1080) aspect ratio, so I might be out of luck here but I wanted to get thoughts of some others.Is there a quick and semi-painless way to resize my layers to fit the new composition size, or do I have to resize each individually because the pixel ratio is different?

Is there any way to detect the following error when running renders via command line, so that we can cancel the render? Below are examples of a font issue we've been having for years:I see this when working with any type of font, whether it be installed directly from Adobe Fonts, uploaded into Creative Cloud, or from the Windows PC. The resolution has always been to restart After Effects. I don't have that luxury when running automated renders via the AE command line.These renders complete with zero error information and no possibility of checking for this issue without manually checking each output (impossible as we have thousands per day). Any ideas or workarounds? 

For the past month or so, I’ve been losing my mind over a bug where After Effects launches with an unsaved project After some desperate debugging, I found out that deleting UserWorkspace.xml from this path fixes it (at least temporarily):C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\[version]\ModifiedWorkspaces-J ⚠️ Heads up: this will reset all your workspaces. So before you nuke the file, grab screenshots or use a screen ruler to note down your layout As someone who carefully crafted a workspace pixel by pixel, this feels like mourning a lost petRIP, custom workspace 💀 Adobe, please—fix this for everyone else before they go through the same heartbreak.

Hi all, Had about 50 crashes today.  I'm working on a scene, fairly standard simple stuff, essentially a tutorial showing off a client's UI and how it works.  The UI was provided as figma files which we downloaded as PDFs.  We've animated individual elements of the UI, then added 3D cameras to do some dynamic moves around the UI and focus in on certain elements. Because we get pretty close to elements of the UI, I have everything set to continuously rasterize.  And that's pretty much it.  I'm not using any fancy plug-ins except for optical flares once in the beginning of the project. We have applied ease and wizz though to a lot of elements to speed up the animation process. Anyways, I've been getting constant crashes. I've tried switching to a different machine (crashes there too). I worked in Safe Mode and got crashes there.  I thought briefly it might be related to auto-save (sometimes I know that can be an issue with folders syncing with

I am reworking on this project in which I have to use 3D camera tracker and use a target and create something out of that target. I want to create a solid only after right-clicking an area in my footage among the tracker points and select an option. I expected to see "Create Solid" only, but now I only see "Create Solid and Camera" which is something that I don't want. Can anyone know how to fix this? 

Adobe After Effects 25.4 have glitch issue. When i open my previous project file in 25.4 version then i see composition position upper & middle time is screen down. It's not have perfect position. Then when i uninstall it & install 25.3.2 version then it is ok. See first picture is when i open 25.4 & 2nd pic is when i open 25.3.2. this is perfect.

Hello from a  macOS 15.6, Apple M3 Max 96Go. After the black frames issues in the 25.3 release, quickly fixed, I think there is a new issue in the early 25.4.0 : I notice a very strong slowdown in the composition refresh after a certain amount of time working : I use only standards effectsIt happen even if the 'file.aep' is not so big (13 Mo)It happen in simple HD comps (with some sub comps up to 3000x3000 pix max)when it happen in the current working comp, all the comps in the project are affected (even if not related to the working comp)Save, quit, reopen AeFx makes everything run smoothly again (responsive and fast as it should be)But after a while, AeFx get nowhere fast againWhen I try first to solve the slowdown by purging all memory and disk cache, I noticed that the media cache was strangely light (far from the maximum of 360 Go I allowed to AeFx (and I have more of 1 To free on my 'HD')) It's not as obvious as a visible bug, but it's very anno

  The After Effects project file is damaged, resulting in errors such as "Out of memory (2097152K requested)," missing source items for layers (IDs 653, 672, 653 replaced with placeholders), and file corruption warnings.Computer Specs - Cpu-Intel i9 12900kMb-Asus Tuf Gaming B760M-Plus Wifi D4Gr-Galax Rtx 3060 Ti 1 Click Oc LhrSmps-cm Mwe750 V2 80 Plus BronzeSsd-Samsung 1TB 980 Pro Nvme M.2Ram-Corsair 64gb (32x2) 3200mhz Rgb ProLiquid Cooler-Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 Rgb BlackHd-1TB Wd Blue 

When Copying a layer in the timeline to the clipboard, the project panel reacts with a random scroll. This feels like something uncontrolled went wrong. Reproduce this: -Project with a lot of (opened) folders and footage-Timeline with several layers-scroll to somewhere half way the project items-select a layer in the Timeline-choose 'Copy'-see how project panel view changes

Hi,I’ve been making some TikTok-style edits in After Effects. Sometimes I also use Android apps for quick text or filters and then bring that into AE.Does anyone else work like this? Do those apps actually help or do they mess up the quality when you move things back into After Effects?Would like to hear how others are handling it.

Hi all, I guess this is a bug.  I have comp1 with two Source Text properties as master properties.If I put the comp1 inside another comp and change the text, it works as expected and looks like this:However if I now change font in the comp1 to look like this:The main comp doesn't update at all.Project file attached for you to debug. Cheers,Dav

Hello, I encounter a small but quite annoying bug since version 25.3 of After Effects. It is still present on 25.3.1. Here's my setup :Mac Studio 2023 - Apple M2 Max - 32 GB RAM - macOS Sequoia 15.5Two Asus 279CRV displays As you can see on the attached video, when using a one-monitor workspace, the application enters the edit mode properly when double-clicking on a text layer in the timeline.However, when using a two-monitors workspace, the application quickly enters and exits the edit mode. If I want to edit a text layer, I have to double-click on it in the Composition panel, not in the timeline. This can lead to undesired manipulations, like changing the position of the layer. Thanks for your support with that. Best regards,

Expanding the buffer completely corrupts the GPU path. Even when I just make it make the layer blue and red, the layer is just completely corrupted when I add it with other effects. The corruption does not happen at all when I use it with AE's built-in effects (like Transform or Directional Blur). It does not make any sense. Ever since I added that expansion, the GPU path does not work at all with my other effects. This is my Directional Blur plugin when it's above my Exposure/Gamma effect. It happens with ALL of my effects.  

Ae uninstalls almost everytime I turn my computer on and off or will break constantly whilst app or even just PC is in use causing me to need to uninstall and reinstall Ae and the media encoder. I've been making stuff in Ae almost all day and have had to uninstall and reinstall 3 times.  This is a problem that has persited since I used the free trial and madfe me consider cancelling. Thought it might get better it hasn't but now I'm too invested in this software lol.

Hi i am lately editing logo reveal mogrts file in adobe after effects for my youtube channel. When i open the mogrts file in after effects and choose the replace the logo file and upload it my logo turns to fully gray.  And İ dont know how to turn this normal.

Hi, I have ae 2020. Despite applying motion tile on both clips (one the precomposed transition, one the adjustment layer with s_blurmocurves), there still isn't any mirroring in the clip- so it just disappears into the abyss when made smaller. I have tried to research this but found no solution or explanation. On other clips motion tile seems to be working fine. Even adding motion tile to the precomp isn't working, which is baffling to me. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help.

You have t initiate import twice from the menu to be able to select a file. This bugs been around for at least 6 months now, I thought it would be fixed by now. I have a project open, I go to the menu, select 'import' and nothing. Donitcadsin and get the Finder select screen. Anyone else seeing this?

Using an Adjustment Layer to distort underlying layers, e.g. Position and Skew (Screenshot 1), when rendered to RGBA with a Straight alpha, shows a strange behaviour in the RGB channels: both the original and the distorted underlying graphics are included (Screenshot 2). This seems like an unitented render behavior to me. Screenshot 1 (RGB with Alpha applied)Screenshot 2 (showing RGB Straight. without Alpha Applied)  

Hello all - I'm exporting a multi-layered EXR from Cinema 4D at 3840x2160. I'm new to EXR workflow. All of my testing was done at 1080 and I haven't had any issues. In my final render, when importing into After Effects, it imports as 1920x1080. I've double checked render settings and opened a frame in photoshop and confirmed it is 3840x2160. Why is After Effects scaling this down and how to get to import at full size? Thanks!

it does not open after installing on creative cloud theres always an error saying it cant open after the latest update please help 0xc0000142 errori installed all c++ visuals too and it still doesnt work

After forum user FinFin pointed out that the Creative Cloud app for mobile no longer does push notifications, I looked into alternatives and realised it was possible to use Google Drive sync and the free Zapier tier to trigger emails. In the video, I run through the steps needed to render a video locally and have it sync to the cloud but then I had the idea to export a text file after rendering instead so I share a script to do just that. Hope you find it useful: https://youtu.be/B3znsLfZ-bs

Hi team, i am working on a shot which has multiple planes which need to projected with a clean plate.The difficulty here i face is once i change the 2D image plane to 3D its changes its position,orientation and scale. So i need to manully scale the 2D image plane and use corner pin to align and fit to comp size.This is also inaccurate as matching the 4 edges is dificult. So looking for a  ae script that would automatically create a corner pin effect to the selected 3D pane and snap to the edges of the comp in the current timline position. PFA Thanks

I just started to learn about 3D layers in After Effects and have seen a couple of tutorials on YouTube that explain how orientation and rotation properties are different, but I still quite don't understand the fundamental working of it. Most of these tutorials highlight some of the uses of having these properties but don't explain how they fundamentally differ. I know that the three values under the rotation property of a 3D layer, tell about the angular position of a point on the layer as measured about the local axes that are centered at the anchor point. What exactly the three values in the Orientation property telling?

I am learning to use the Convert Vertex tool in AE but its just not working. The pen tool work just fine and shows the pen icon but when I selet the convert vertex to just uses the normal mouse pointer. I've made sure to select the keyframes but still nothing. What could it be? Thank you!
