After Effects

A quick expression to automatically add separators, decimals and currency symbols when using a text layer.   I have seen this problem raised a lot on the forums, namely how do you get the Expressions code or rather ExtendScript / JavaScript to automatically add thousands separators to numbers. And how can you have the same number displayed with different currencies? In the past I might have suggested replace(), split(), join() functions, but they are always a bit awkward to convert, but they are no good when splitting to begin with. But there is a simple function, built into JavaScript that After Effects can also use and it makes the whole thing simple: Intl.NumberFormat().format() With just a few options, you can easily format numbers according to any locale, making your project cleaner, smarter, and more professional.  

Hi,Seams there's a bug with Reg Giant Form (Maxon) on AE 25.2the plugin is unusable.

HelloI am working on film with flickering. I use time remapping to do toggle hold key frame.Once complete I then render. After rendering I then export audio media queue to MP4.In Premiere Pro if I attempt to stablize the film ends up cut and repositioned and rendered useless.I then attempted to Warp Stablizer in After Effects. Message says stablize cannot be done with Time Remapping. How to I achieve Warp Stablizer on the filmes that were flicker fixed and then rendered?Thanks 

Urgent help needed! This error is preventing me from using AE whatsoever. It first showed up after I made a new comp and attempted to use the text tool. The second I clicked to open a new text layer, the error message in the title popped up followed by a (26 :: 82) strange situation [0/1] message. I've tried what feels like everything: purged the media disc and cache, updated AE, restarted my computer. Nothing works. As a test, I tried opening a new comp and creating a shape layer. Same issue, but this time the error message kept reopening every time I closed it, and I had to force quit AE. I'm completely stumped, and there doesn't seem to be much info about this specific error available. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Version: 23.5 then 23.6Platform: PCOS: Windows 10 Pro

My timeline section is too small. in after affact 2023Can i make bigerhow to fix it?thanks 

Layers are blurry and I have been struck for the whole day. Need help:  I have tried everything I could and it's not helping. Also when I try to create shapes from Illustrator layers, getting the following error: 

Size to comp stretches everything.  and fit to width or height dones't work for everyrthing since they're differenty ratios.  If AE doesn't have a way to fit pictures to the comp without stretching then they need to fire every developer that works on AE.

I just installed AF Created a comp and tried to import an image the image is in the comp but I can't see itI tried with other stuff also like solids or text it seems I can only see it if the comp is on 100% zoom and it's not showing anything over the edges

Hi everyone,I’ve created several strokes under the composition file named "Stroke", and they were working perfectly within the main animation earlier. However, the strokes have suddenly disappeared from the main comp, they’re still visible inside the "Stroke" composition, but not showing up when combined with the other layers or the rendened video.This has happened twice now. The first time, they somehow reappeared on their own and I’m not sure what I did to fix it. Has anyone experienced this issue before or know what might be causing it? This is kinda driving me crazy...I’d really appreciate any insight!

Hallo liebe Community, wenn ich After Effects auf Version 25.2.2 update und anschließend versuche das Programm zu öffnen, bekomme ich auf meinem Macbook Pro (Apple M2 Pro) eine Meldung: das Program sei beschädigt.After Effects lässt sich weder öffnen noch lässt sich das Problem irgendwie beheben.Das einzige das hilft ist, wenn ich auf eine frühere Version downgrade. Falls jemand das gleiche Problem hat oder hatte und eine Lösung gefunden hat, würde ich mich über einen kurze Austausch sehr freuen.Viele GrüßeBenjamin

Hey Everyone,So I'm creating an animation in AE, but first I wanted to create a custom logo in Illustrator. It's a simple word and rectangular box outline. I had separated the text as individual shapes so that I could manipulate each one manually in AE. Having separated each shape into its own layer I saved the file. I only used ONE artboard. The background is obviously not black, and it's in RGB colorspace not CMYK. Going into AE I import the file with the following setup: All layers import. The problem is that they are all black when I open the composition.If anyone can please answer this question it would be greatly appreciated as I haven't found the correct answer after searching the forums for the last couple hours.Thanks!

There are unknown marks in layer. What is the reason? 

Hello, I wanted to get the ease values for certain keyframe in expressions to do some math with it.But I tried to search, so I was wondering if there is a way that I can get the easing values with it in expression?Thank you!

Estoy aprendiendo after y estoy viendo que mi interfaz se ven las cosas más grandes que a la otra gente y no se por que. Adjunto fotos en comparación.

What is the good mouse you suggest for Ae? I use regular mouse many times precision is impossible. For example if want to zoom in using Alt key and mouse wheel many times it jump in and display larger image than what I wanted to.  

Got an odd problem. Since upgrading to AE 2020, in the "Top" window, the y-axis arrow (of the camera) doesn't work. I can drag on the y-axis in the comp layers but not in the "Top" window. The z-axis and x-axis work fine.Been actively using After Effects for fifteen years so I'm not a rookie. All my layers are set for 3D space. I recreated my scene three times; one of the recreations was one layer and a camera (no luck). I reset all the settings in After Effects (no luck). I went back to my other computer with 2018 on it and it works great (as it always used to). Any hints???  

I am using it with Ray Dynamic Colour. But it may be an issue without it too.

Hello, im new to AE. I try to use rotobrush but When i pause on the second frame im not able to modify my rotobrush like on the first one and it doesnt change if i hit the button "freeze". Does anyone has an idea why i can't? everything look the same in the second frame except that the outline doesn't change. Im really stuck

This is ridiculous that i've now saved my projects in the new Adobe After Effects and can't use my plugins. There should have been clear warnings before updating that Rosetta will be gone. Adobe, bring it back. It is a crucial component to using your software and I can't think of anything more important that's missing. It's truly usability breaking

Hello there, I would like to know how to add a material to a 3d model (obj) that I  imported into aftereffects? i can add lights to it but i want to add or change materials

I m trying to do a simple text mask on a video.I have a video layer and a text layer on top that I convert into a mask (create / create masks from text).I copy this mask and paste it on my video layer, and it just create another layer with the outlined font.Can someone give me the trick to mask the video with the text outlined.Thank you

The meaning for Mask in Cambridge dictionary is FACE COVER. That means it hides. But in Ae mask means everything is hiden outside the masking region. That means inverse meaning in Ae. What is the reason for that?  

Hola comunidad de Adobe, estoy tratando de encontrar en el interfaz de after effects 25.2.0 la ruta de recorte (trim path). ¿Alguien me la puede indicar, por favor?
