After Effects (Beta)

Crash de l'appli impossible de faire de preview

create a new shape layer and delete it, after deleted the path is still visbible and sowftware will be crash

As you can see above I have imported the 3d objects into after effects and it shows that they are in there but I cannot see the the object in the screeen. What should I do to fix this issue

when you morons from Adobe are gonna fix the pasting text issue in after effects? We cant paste text from other apps like photoshop with out re-editing the font styles when pasting... just take the line of code from photoshop app "paste without formating" and put it on after effects... geeez....

It is an old-time bug still present in 2023 I've experienced it in around 2016 when I encountered with the anamorphic shooting for the first time. When the adaptive resolution is switched on in the compositing panel, anamorphic footage that is within it flips and stretches itself while scrubbing or dragging playhead.Steps to reproduce:1) Insert any red anamorphic footage like 6k with 12:5 squeezing ratio (could be any different from square pixels) into the new composition2) Set to adaptive resolution in the composition panel3) try to grab the timecode to shift time or grab the playhead and drag4) Also you can either try different render resoulutions in composition panel or in Edit -> Preferences -> Preview and try changing the adaptive res limit like to 1/16 and try to srub the footage and see how differently it behave with different limits...The attached is a screengrab of how it goes

Just generally seeing a lot of lag when moving between precomps; this is in a relatively complex, long project on a 4k monitor. Often when leaving a big comp, there's slowdown between clicking a menu item and feedback from the UI. AE beta 23.6.0 build 7Windows 10 19045.2965 

We are thrilled to announce Selectable Track Matte Layers for Adobe After Effects 23.0 beta!   Any layer in your comp, no matter where it sits in the layer stack, can be used as a Track Matte source for any other layer. You can even have multiple layers all reference a single layer for their matte. You can also use the matte layer’s Alpha or Luma channels and invert them if necessary.    Important! Projects saved in the 23.0 beta will not be able to be opened in other versions of After Effects (including the 22.5 public release).     If you need compatibility with 22.x or before, please follow the instructions below:   Moving from v22.x to v23.0 - On opening a project in the 23.0 beta, you will be presented with a message that the project needs to be converted. Simply click “Ok”, and the project will be updated automatically. The old project will be untouched. “Save as” the project in 23.0 so that you don't need to convert again in the futu

Using the latest beta as of 31/05/23. Mouse feels sticky during any time where processing happens. Text entry lags.

Hi. To use 3D objects, I created a project in After Effects Beta and rendered it. When I open the project again today, it closes within 20 seconds without any error messages. I've cleared the cache completely, my GPU driver is up to date, all adobe programs are up to date. The project must be changed, but I cannot open the project. What should I do?

We have improved our display pipeline to provide smoother playback and to reduce screen tearing artifacts. The change is effective in the latest public betas of Premiere Pro and After Effects.The changes we've made slightly increase memory usage, so the improvements are available on computers with a GPU that have 2 GB or more of VRAM.If you have been affected by screen tearing, we'd love to get your feedback on this change.

After a very loooong journey I have finally merged a very significant revision with ae23.5_13 to the code in After Effects which manages Fonts.   Some example immediate benefits to this code revision:   • Apple’s SF Pro and New York, and other Open Type Variable fonts will start working properly.• Duplicate fonts, by PostScript name, will show properly in the UI and also stop crashing After Effects.• Copying and pasting text from Illustrator with a Open Type Variable font using custom design axes will come through correctly - After Effects UI still lags what AI offers but it is better than the useless “0 0 0” we used to show.• The Char Panel UI is going to behave a little less wonky than before - it still has some flaws (ex: sample drawing, mixed selections) - but it is quicker and less sloppy at points.• Substitute fonts, that is fonts which a Project asked for on open but did not exist, now show the PostScript name and font technology we know about. They sort at the bo

Text Animation by Character and Word has been Left to Right (Roman)-centric since the beginning and consequently in the case of Right to Left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic it was 100% wrong (unless your content was a single character or single word!) Essentially the code assumed that the order the glyphs appear on the screen is the same as the character order but that is only true for Left to Right. For a line of Hebrew text, for example, the glyph on the left is actually the last character and the glyph on the right is the first character. Consider with the following Text Animation settings: With Roman text it looks correct as we scrub about half way - first character in the Story is the "R": But not so good with Hebrew text where the first character in the Story is on the far right. See how the left glyphs have been exposed before the right most ones? Bad. With Beta build 22.3.0 (89) this has now been addressed and After Effects is properly iterating th

We have a mix of windows and MacOS machines, with a mix of AE versions. when creating a project on Windows, AE 23.0.0, using the 'Poppins' typeface from Adobe Fonts, it creates a version seemingly incompatible with AE latest Beta (23.5x26) on MacOS, showing as [Poppins-Light/Type1].When opening the project in AE 23.3 on MacOS, it shows (renders and in the character dropdown) fine, but the render times are >100x slower (123ms vs 1ms). I can resolve this by switching the font from 'Light' to 'Standard' and back again.  If the resolved project is then opened again on Windows, AE 23.0, the issue returns, and the typeface gets replaced with the windows specific version. Seemingly, the improvements to the font system are now exposing that something incorrect is happening in the background.I've included 2 project files, 1 that includes the windows typeface, and shows slow render times on MacOS 23.3, and incompatible Typeface on AE 23.5. The other file has the issue resolved

Please help me, I am no expert, still learning. Why is make comp size greyed out??? is there an issue with my file? I have mercury software only enabled, followed various tutorials.. what am I doing wrong??? thank you

Latest beta (23.5x12) won't lunch for me. It gets through Initializing MediaCore, then just vanishes shorly after that. When I try to relaunch, it offers to let me launch in safe mode, which desn't help. I've done a couple of rounds of uninstall and reinstall, but no luck. I've retreated to 23.4x48, which seems to work fine.

Hey beta users!    Starting today (August 1), the After Effects beta will save in project version 23.0. This means that projects saved in the 23.0 beta will not be able to be opened in other versions of After Effects (including the 22.5 public release) without file conversion.    If you need compatibility with 22.x or before, please follow the instructions below:  Moving from v22.x to v23.0 - On opening a project in the 23.0 beta, you will be presented with a message that the project needs to be converted. Simply click “Ok”, and the project will be updated automatically. If you would like to preserve your 22.x version of the project, please be sure to “Save as” the 23.0 project so that you don't need to convert again in the future.  Moving from v23.0 to earlier versions of After Effects (I.e. 22.x or below) - Please use the option Save As > Save a copy as v22/v18 to create a project that is compatible with older AE versions.  We apologize fo

Hi, I'm setting lots of expressions to comps & layers via a jsx file.In current versions I have no problems, but the Beta app (23.4.0) gives me errors, while there are none... What the issue probably is, is that I'm setting e.g._ references to effects (and ffx files) which are not applied yet_ linking to layer names in compositions which are renamed afterwards in the jsx file etc... So it seems that the Beta version is evaluating expression on the fly, while current AE versions check the expressions afterwards.I tried to fix some issues with "autoFixExpressions", but that doesn't work in this case... Is there anything to worry about when the new release comes out, or will this behaviour of "evaluating expressions" change?The reason I ask, is because it's a bit clumsy to go through "expression errors" only to click them away and be totally fine at the end. Anyhow, hope to hear from you, Jochem

Hi All,   We've made some changes to the Default Workspace in Beta, and we'd like to hear your thoughts!   These changes will not impact any custom workspace settings you have. To see the new Default Workspace, click the hamburger menu next to "Default" in the workspace toolbar, then select "Reset to Saved Layout". Please note that if you have previously changed and saved over the Default Workspace, you will have to reset your preferences to see the new Default Workspace.     In the new Default Workspace, the Libraries Panel is nested horizontally with the Project Panel on the left-hand side of the workspace. The Info Panel is stacked on top of the right-hand side, with Preview, Align, and Audio Panels nested horizontally. The Properties Panel is stacked directly below the Info Panel, with the Effects and Presets Panel nested horizontally.   Tell us what you think! Do you like the new Default Workspace? Do you hate it? Other thoughts? Your feedback is critica

Hi @Christine Goldby, thanks for all of your work here on the support community site. I've been testing the new After Effects 3d features this week for use on our web-video project. The project requires 3d artwork to be rendered out in .webm format with transparency support.   It seems the only way to get .webm output out of Adobe products is using an external plugin from www.fnordware.com This enables the Media Encoder (Beta) to output in .webm format w/ transparency, but I have run into some issues with ME rendering Adobe After Effects (Beta) files that include 3d objects. - Compositions including an .obj file are able to be rendered out, but the renderer ignores the 3d layers in the composition.- Compositions including a .glb file are not even recognised by the Media Encoder, you receive a "Could not locate file" error. Both of these errors occur while using the Mercury rendering engine.   For now I've found a workaround by outputting a Quicktime .MOV from A

Hello everyone,I am currently working on a project with After effects Beta (23.5), in my project I use 3D elements in .glb format.The problem is that it is impossible to export it to mp4 format because every time there is this error that appears.I wanted to know if any of you have managed to export projects correctly from after effects Beta and if so how did you do it?Thanks

Can't assign F10 Key in keyboard editor or in custom .keys file. Why.    Steps:  Try to assign f10 "That key may not be reassigned." Try to edit keyboard shortcut file so I can use F10 for my Designated purpose....keyboard file reverts to earlier state. 

No matter what my permissions settings on the folders, I constantly get this "An error occurred migrating the settings files. Check the permissions of the After Effects preferences folder." I have checked them OVER and OVER. What is going on?

When I updated to the latest update to After Effects Beta, I opened the project, but this thing appears to me, and when I click on OK, the program exits
