After Effects (Beta)

While Ilustrator and Photoshop betas are there, AE is missing under "Pre-release" and under "Apps" tabs. Any suggestions how to find it?OS Win, there are AE23 and AE24 installed at the system.Thanks!

Usually when in an active composition, you'd see that composition highlighted with a box, but now I just see the flow and feel very unsure of which composition I'm in. I use this to navigate through precomps so it must be retained from the pre-spectrum design update. Thanks

May also be present in release version haven't checked.Swapping colors on the Gradient Ramp fx clamps any value above/below 0-1.0 float losing the origianl value. Tested in 24.4.0 build 16.

Pop up window showed up never to go away. When pressing Esc key the window flicker but stayed on the screen until crashed and closed AE.

I'm using (an older version of) Trapcode Particular to create some stars forming a logo. I've coloured the particles from a gradient ramp with completely normal (not over 1,1,1) colours, which range from a light cyan to white - no yellow at all. Weirdly, one clump of particles (I have no other effects on the layer other than Particular) renders as yellow, and if I look at its RGB values, the blue is "nan", which I've never seen before. My project is 32 bit, set to "Adobe Color Managed" (I also tried some of the OCIO options, but it made no difference to the Area of Weirdness):If I drop the comp into my PPro timeline, the Area of Weirdness appears as a black dot:If I change the project to 8bpc, the issue goes away. But my glows and sparkles aren't as nice. Odd.

After working for usually 15-20 minutes on a project in the Beta, it suddenly hangs for no apparent reason, even if I am not actually doing anything at that point in time, and that's it, the only way out  is via Task Manager and the big red switch, loosing any work you may not have saved in the interim period. There is no apparent pattern as to what I may have been doing immediately before, but just maybe it has to do with resizing a control, typically a Shape, which does seem to fit  my occurences quite well ?. W10 Pro, 16Gb Ram, I7 processor, GTX 980 GPU. 

glb models in my composition view appears black/invisible Steps to reproduce:  Drag glb file from the file explorer into After Effects 'Project' window Drag glb file from the Project tab to 'Create a new composition' button at the bottom of the 'Project' window 'Model Settings' window pops up: click 'OK'     Result: 3D model appears invisible in composition view    Expected: Visible 3D model in composition view  This happens with all glb files. They work fine in other programs. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v24.0.0.40    OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 13,93 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8

Whenever I double click a text layer to edit, it just makes the same "popping" sound you hear whenever a some function can't be executed. I don't have this issue with non-beta version

I notice that all the match names for the renderers seem to have changed in the latest build (not sure exactly which build, but recently). Is that intentional? If so, it's really bad news for some of us that have products in the field that depend on the previoius names. Will there be some warning before this change goes into a general release?

I'm running the latest version of Ae Beta.  GLB Imports fine into Blender. Keep getting Blue Box with Send to Ae feature in Painter.  Send to Ae configuration shown in screenshot.

I'm using AE Beta 24.2.0x66.I'm currently waiting for some tracking to complete on a ~30sec clip. The track points have gone way off, but there's no way to cancel the tracking, regardless of what I press/click. Clicking the 'stop' icon in the Tracker panel does nothing, hitting Esc does nothing...AE is completely unresponsive, but is continuing to do the track (even though the track points are totally useless).

I am unable to use Warp Stabilizer.  It hangs up while Initializing.  System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v24.0.0.17    OS: macOS v13.3.1, RAM: 32.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10

With beta build 24.4/6 (available today) there are some changes to the way fonts are handled when they go missing which we want you to be aware - just in case any of you come across some weird behavior we should know about.   Fonts are troublesome, as you all know, and I continually get surprised by the range of behavior they manifest and consequently the code has to be prepared to deal with.   The high level summary is that since last year we have been observing crashes involving Projects being opened which contained references to missing Variable fonts. The crash seemed to be occurring after they were synced from Adobe Fonts and After Effects goes to update the missing font references with the newly installed font.   (This is one of those huge benefits we (and you) derive from customers' submitted crash reports - we see things go wrong in ways on your systems that we were not seeing on our own test environments. Once we see enough crash reports, we can know where

As  the years pass, I notice that my eyesight is degrading, and now, I am finding it really difficult to read the text on the screens of many items in Adobe Apps such as After Effects (in particular right now). I hate to admit that I have even had to resort to loading the Windows Magnifier wioth AE, and then needing to use it to increase the font size by 20% at least so I can read the various options that change all the time could remain at the default size, such as items that do not change, eg :  menu style options in the various panes, which remain the same most of the time,  whereas the content of panels such as the Right hand "Information  panel" where we are  looking for different items all the time, it would be INVALUABLE to be able to have a larger font set here. so I can find a specific effect or whatever  The same applies to the sundry items entries in the left pane of the timeline, including all  the "blue colored" settings,andthe

When a panel is temporarily maximised with the tilde key '~' it unmaximises as soon as you switch tools (except for Selection, Hand, Zoom oddly). For example maximise then switch from the selection tool to the pen tool to modify a path. It's quite minor, but one of those annoying "I wish it didn't do that" things.

Hi all! Excited to let you know today that Label Color Menu Swatches are now available in After Effects 24.3.0.041. You can now more easily identify the color you'd like to set your project items, keyframes, layers, or composition marker labels so that you can stay in your creative flow.     For Keyframe Color Labels, simply right-click the keyframe and select "Label": you'll be shown color options both as text and a swatch in the menu.     Layer Labels can be changed by clicking the layer's label color. The swatches will be displayed automatically next to the color names.     Similarly, Project Item Label colors can be changed by clicking the label color in the Project panel.     To change your Marker Labels, right-click the marker and select "Settings". Click the "Label" dropdown to see the swatches next to color names.     Let us know how these work for you!

Hi,I am working with AE Beta 24.3. I have tried inporting a obj and a gltf file.They come in but when i put them into my timeline they are not viasable. I get a 3d rectangle with all controls but model itself isn't there? I have tried Classic 3D and Cinema 4D render. I have also tried changing from Mecury to Mecury GPU. When importing i am hitting 'make comp size' but i have tried no doing this as well. I can not work out what i am doing wrong and why these models are not appearing. I even dowloaded one from Adobe to make sure it wasn't anything within the models themselves. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreactied. I tried Adobe chat but they said they could not help with Beta versions.The screen shot attached shows what i am seeing.Thank you 

Introduction: After Effects introduced a native ACES workflow in our 23.2 release (details here).   Since then, we have received feedback and users’ requests for having support for baking in display view transform, available for display path under composition/footage view, for export path. Further, there are requests for assigning display view transform as input color space to an imported media.   To cater to these requests, we have included the following in the Beta build.   Introduced OCIO Display Transform as an effect under the Color Correction category. Added display view transform in the color space list at import in Interpret Footage. Added display view transform in the color space list at export in Output Module Settings. OCIO Display Transform effect: The After Effects Beta build now includes one more effect based on the OpenColorIO library under Color Correction category. The purpose of this effect is to apply the display view transform or its inverse to a co

It’s a big day for Beta. In today’s Beta build (23.1.0 build 44), you are getting not just one, but two new features to take out for a test drive. Introducing native OCIO/ACES support in After Effects!    I’ve attached documentation for a deep dive into the feature, including a Quick Start guide which is copied below.     We would love to hear your feedback, including what you think of the workflow, and whether you get the results you expect.      As always, thank you so much for participating!      Quick start    File > Project Settings   a. Create an After Effects project and select Color Engine as OCIO color managed.  b. Select the appropriate OCIO configuration file.    i. We are shipping the ACES configuration ACES 1.0.3 with the application bundle.      ii. NOTE on ACES 1.3 Configurations In addition to the default ACES 1.0.3 configuration, there are now two

This is easier to explain with an example:I have a text layer. I want this layer to be matted by TWO layers; Circle Matte AND Rectangle Matte. So I set the Text layer's track matte to the Circle Matte and I set the Circle Matte's track matte to Rectangle Matte:If we look at Circle Matte on its own, we see that it's been successfully matted by the rectangle:...so you'd think that if I then set the Text layer's matte to this, we'd only see the area within that semicircle, but no, we get this:The text is only matted by the circle and the fact that the circle has been matted by the rectangle is ignored. I've tried using both luma and alpha mattes, but it makes no difference. I'm fairly sure that when the Track Matte pickwhip system was introduced, Adobe said we could have "mattes of mattes" or something....this clearly isn't the case. Any chance of this bug being fixed? I'm on AE Beta 24.3.0x23, but it's been like this for ages. 

Hello everyone, We’re very happy to announce that starting in today’s build (24.0x14), we have added 42 new scripting hooks for text and font manipulation. Our goal with these new hooks is to match in scripting what is available in the UI.   In addition to extending the TextDocument object, we’ve also added two brand-new objects: Fonts Object: The Fonts object provides information about the current font environment on your device. It will allow you to retrieve all the available fonts and iterate them. Font Object: The Font object provides information about a specific font and the font technology used, helping disambiguate when multiple fonts sharing the same Postscript name are installed on the system.   You can see the full list right here, along with documentation for the new hooks and objects: https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/introduction/changelog.html. Remember, these scripting hooks are currently in Beta and are subject to change.   We’ve also

Since version 24 I can't import 3D objects ot use the Mercury engine anymore.Getting this error message and the screen turns black.After Effects (Beta) error: internal verification failure, sorry! {unexpected match name searched for in group} ( 29 :: 0 )Any ideas?

Hello,I am having issues exporting a file with many animated glb-files in it. The objects are flickering and we just can't fix it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Since the update to beta version 24 the lighting has gotten very high contrast. Models painted in substance and exported to .glb from stager that render normally in google's model viewer editor and played well in v23 now render super high contrast. AE Comps from v23 opened in v24 have the same poor lighting quality. New models imported to new projects created since the update have the same poor lighting quality. Now that I've updated to 24.1 x70 and the is no longer an option to roll back to 23 I'm kind of stuck. Is this a bug? Part of the work in progress? Or am I missing something about the lighting changes that were made in v24? I'm working currently in:MacOS Ventura 13.5.1AE beta 24.01 build 70 Image 1 screenshot of .glb from AE beta v23.6Image 2 same .glb in 24.1 x70Images 3 & 4 are the same .glb's in google model viewer    

I'm running into a weird issue. I have an animated logo that is all black. On the black transparency, it appears as black on black making the thumbnail useless because it just looks like a black image on a black background. Is there a way of replacing the thumbnail with a static screenshot or something with a white background that doesn't carry over when using the MOGRT?
