After Effects (Beta)

 I 

Hello I just downloaded the latest version of AE, and what a surprise : the EFFECT panel is a total disaster (how can you publish and update, even in Beta, with such a bug ?) When, in your main comp, you open a precomp and add effects on a layer, if you go back to the main comp and use the EFFECT panel on any layer, it goes directly to the last layer of the precomp !Managing to see the proper effect of the proper layer is then really hard, you have to click on all the layers randomly until the EFFECT panel finally displays the effect of your layer.And even that way sometimes it goes into the precomp and displays the effect of the layer in the precomp. AE became totally unusable Worse : if you manage to see the proper effect of your layer, and modify datas, sometines it randomly goes to the layer in the precomp, show its effects, while still displaying the dropdown menus or text aera of the effect you were mofifying in the main precomp. And then : it crashes

Hi everyone,We’re excited to announce the addition of 33 new presets in the 24.5.0.40 build of After Effects (Beta), designed to streamline your creative projects. From infographics and numbers to transitions and textures, these presets are designed to simplify what you need to create while adding quick production value to your compositions. These presets aim to give you a strong starting point for commonly used elements while also providing the control you need to customize them to the needs of your project.   Many of these presets were created by or in collaboration with the wonderful Evan Abrams. Check out www.motiondesignhotline.com weekly for great AE discussions with Evan and Kyle Hamrick.      Backgrounds Anime Radial – Create anime-inspired radial backgrounds Anime Speed Lines – The classic speed lines for bringing energy and momentum   Behaviors Random Colors – Creates animated random variations of a selected color Random O

When I move my cursor into the preview area to change the size of a text box for example, it goes really large. So large that it's hard to click specific areas. 

Hi all,   The latest beta of After Effects, 25.2x4, now includes support for H.264 in MKV. Our support is particularly focused on customers using MKV files from OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). We support AAC and PCM audio.    We’d love to get your feedback on this new feature.

I've tried everything, but it seems like nothing works when I am using the camera tracking. It doesn't even star the tracking process, it's stuck in "Initializing".I have an iMac, 24 inch, 16Gb RAM, most of the memory is for Adobe After Effects and it still doesn't work.Could you please help me out? I have a deadline for a project.Thank you!

On AE 2025 random crash with Auto Color + BCC Color Correction.

Seems to be a UI bug with AE 2025, present in both the latest public release and the beta. I have a dual-monitor setup, one monitor is 2560x1440 and the other is 4K / 3840 x 2160. My regular workspace is set up for dual screens, but I often switch to the "small screen" preset to make screen recordings.  When I make this change (and when I change back again) some of the UI text becomes tiny.  This includes the RGB values in the info palette, and the colomb headings in the timeline (ie Source Name / Track Matte / Parent & Link). Screenshots attached.

I can't copy paste text from other apps into After Effects tekst layer. Not from InDesign or Pages or any other app. 

The release notes for the latest version of After Effects states that MKV files are supported, but neither 18.4 nor the latest Beta can import them.  They aren't included in the 'supported file types' in the import dialog, and if forced to import by setting the file types to '*.*' random errors about file types are thrown up, depending on which codecs are embedded:    

Bonjour, Je voudrais compléter un plan pour lequel j'ai pu réaliser un tracking 3D pas trop mal en lui intégrant un modèle 3D. D'après ce que j'ai lu, la version 23 d'AEX permet d'intégrer des GLB ou des OBJ...Pour l'instant je n'arrive même pas à importer un GLB que j'ai pourtant exporté depuis Adobe Dimension.Avez-vous le même genre de difficulté

The smoother window isn't available in After Effects Beta anymore. Does anyone have alternate method on how to access this window or is another method to similar to smoother in the Beta. Thanks in advance!System Info: Mac | After Effects Beta (v 25.1)

Dear Adobe, please, make the copying of layer with a layer control effect not lost connection.And also, if its parented to itself, make it stay that way, and not parent to layer, wich was duplicated (Ctrl + D)Thanks. 

The issue came back in the newest beta. 25.1.0 (Build 53)Pop up window shows up and can be only removed by closing AE task in Windows.  

I've experienced that when I hit play to preview, the audio starts, but the image stays frozen and struggles to load. After about 4 or 5 seconds, the image starts to play back little by little. I'm not sure if this is a bug or due to my hardware, but with earlier versions of After Effects, like 2021, which is the one I've used the most, this doesn't happen. If it's not a bug and there's some configuration setting to address it, I'd appreciate any help, as this issue significantly disrupts the workflow. Thanks, best regards!

Hello,   Version 25.1x41 of After Effects Beta introduces support for additional 32-bpc blend modes on the GPU when your layer has motion blur applied. In our testing, projects designed to solely stress blending can render about 50% faster with GPU blend modes enabled. Though we know your projects aren't limited to blending, you should see slightly faster rendering across your entire project. This feature allows users to use their GPU for 32-bpc blending for the following 8 blend modes: Screen Multiply Add Overlay Hard Light Classic Difference Lighten Darken   There should not be any rendering differences between CPU and GPU rendering for 32-bpc for the blend modes listed. Please give this new functionality a try and let us know how it's working for you! 

It’s been years, but the issue of the significant slowdown in UI refresh rate when 3D layers gizmos are shown is still present, but Adobe continues to add 3D features to AE without fixing an issue that makes the 3D workspace practically unusable when working with multiple 3D layers.The issue has been reported and discussed multiple times in many posts,https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-bugs/interface-is-slow-and-laggy/idi-p/13229563https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-bugs/ae-beta-22-3-0-low-performace/idi-p/12740169but as of today, version 25.1.0 beta build 43, it still hasn’t been addressed or fixed, as shown in this video:https://youtu.be/HZGj8-RJkCQCould we please @Jessica McMillan @jenkmeister17177426 get an update on the status of the fix for the issue?Thanks

UI Scripts panels are working now but many of them look off.Beta:2024: 

The new UI changes in the current BETA version seem to have lost the sweet spot for the contrast between text and UI background color. Also only to have three options for the UI brightness is unfortunate in my opinion. At the moment I use a dark version (in the released version) that sits right between the new proposed “Darkest” and “Dark” setting.  The “Reduce Contrast set to off” for some users might be just a bit too much and the “Reduce Contrast On” makes it just a little too low contrast.    Also I think the highlighting for some UI icons is not better in the new version. Like the Toggle for transparency and masks. PLEASE keep the sliders to adjust the UI!  

When trying to delete or edit, an error keeps popping up. The footage or titles are deleted but still appear.

While trying to export a camera from Blender to AE (I tried both GLB and OBJ formats), I was intrigued to read this article: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/feature-focus-extract-cameras-and-lights-from-3d-models/m-p/13648084...which explained the Layer > Camera > Create Cameras from 3D Model feature.But it's always greyed out whenever I import a scene with a camera. Does this still work? Steps to reproduce:1. Import an OBJ or GLB scene with a camera2. Try to get the camera data Result:It's greyed out Expected:Can get camera data System infoApplication: After Effects (Beta) v25.1.0.27OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 127.91 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

In the latest AE beta build it seems that media from iPhone 15 in Apple Log gets interpreted incorrectly. It is much more flat than it is supposed to be. This error is not seen in our 24.0.3 release version or in Premiere release/beta.

Hi folks, in the instance of reconnecting files, say to a harddrive or network that was was remounted, or moved project files, everything links up in a '20 files found' situation, but does not include linking Proxies.

The AE turned off suddenly when I was working on a simple project.
