After Effects (Beta)

For the longest time now, scrolling through a lengthy list of color spaces has annoyed me from Color Profile Converter to the new OCIO Color Space Transform effect. Now that we have this brand new OCIO effect, let's do it right and finally add a scroll bar! And while we're at it, let's get it added to Color Profile Converter, too. Notice there's no scroll bar to the right. Instead, you have to hover at the bottom or top of the list to slowly scroll up or down. Ever pick the wrong items and need to swap the input and output? Well, hope you enjoy scrolling some more. However, the scrollbar appears when interpreting the image. I know these are two different UIs, but they display the same content. One is easy to quickly scroll through while the other is really annoying. Let's come up with a solution. And while we're on this topic, let's also add a Swap button to flip the input and outputs around for both OCIO Color Space Transform and Color Profile Converter.

Steps to reproduce:    1. ... Result: ...Expected: ... System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.53    OS: macOS v12.4.0, RAM: 16.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8 Setup Color manage with new Aces 1.03OCIO config 1.03Add rec709 clipAdd ocio transform > rec709 2.4 to Aces CGAdd glow to clip. Highlights from glow display black edging. Almost a "dark glow". Not diplayed using Adobe colourmanage and 32bit lin setup. Sidenote. using ocio config Aces CG v2 (beta) issue is less but still visible.   

Is it possible to import a light probe or environment for a .glb file. I think that this would be an essential feature. The ability to import a light probe or enviromental sphereical or cube map that the model could respond to would be great. If it isn't already implemented - please consider this. An example of what I'm talking about can be seen here: https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/1) drag in a .glb2) Toggle the lighting switch3) Change the environment to Venice SunsetMy request is to be able to import my own environment.

Steps to reproduce:Select a layer whose anchor point is not at its center.Layer > Transform > Center anchor point in layer content Result: Anchor point does move to the center of the layer, but the layer's position changes dramatically, moving to a different area of the comp. This behavior has been present in the last several versions of the beta.Expected: In After Effects v22, this command moves the anchor point, but the layer stays put. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.39    OS: macOS v12.6.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10

My Mac is M1 and has 32GB of memory. It says "low memory warning ram use has been extended for previews" every 1-5 minutes, which drives me nuts.When AE Beta shows this warning, I checked my Mac memory and the remaining memory is 13~20 GB.I set RAM reserved for other applications at 3 GB and RAM available for AE at 29 GB on the preferences.So I guess this problem is not about my Mac, but AE Beta. This issue has started since I updated AE Beta in the new version last week(I hadn't updated AE Beta for a couple of months). It affects my work and time so badly.Please fix it and increase compatibility with Apple Silicons. 

It would be nice if the preview menu in the monitor output had the option, like in adobe premiere, to be able to view content in HDR. When previewing through a blackmagic card, color options appear in premiere, in after effects, when working in aces, the preview output does not have any option to correctly preview the color on an external monitor and it looks dark

An error occurred that the imported 3D object could not be imported from beta again.also, the texture of the obj or fbx file disappeared when the beta version was saved.But I think the technology to import 3d objects right away is really innovativeThe technology that can immediately import 3d objects is really convenient when giving simple animation and motion to 3d objects. Can reduce render time a lotI'm always grateful for your efforts.*I'm sorry if the sentence was awkward using a translator. 

We heard you.   The great thing about having a Beta community is getting to test out new ideas and see if they work as expected. When we updated the Exposure control UI to be consistent with other newer controls in our composition toolbar, we ran user tests and read the feedback. In this case, the benefit of consistency is not proving useful compared to the extra clicks it required. And so, as of today's Beta (build 22.3.0 x35), we are reverting the Exposure control to its original layout.Thank you so much for your continued feedback, it really does matter.    

Just installed the new AE Beta and this blog shows a new Color management area in the project settings/Color tab. It doesnt show on the Beta I installed. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/opencolorio-aces-color-management.html  

I've noticed when importing a PNG image into the new OCIO-ACES beta, the Utility-sRGB-Texture profile doesn't apply correctly in 32bit.  On the left is a PNG logo imported and interpreted with Utility-sRGB-Texture and then viewed in comp with ACES/Rec709. Result is not what I expect. On the right is the same logo with Preserve RGB on import and then with an OCIO Colorspace Transform applied changing it from Utility-sRGB-Texture to ACEScg. Result is correct. These two should match but they don't. What's interesting is this project is in 32-bit, which is what is necessary for ACES. However, if I happen to change this to 8-bit, then the logos match. Maybe that tidbit will help you find the bug. Furthermore, when testing other file formats, the problem doesn't seem to appear. So far JPG and TIF with this same logo seem to work fine. It's just PNG that causes the problem.

Hi,Sometimes when a layer's video switch is turned off the composition view doesn't update. It stays stuck on the previous image, with the layer visible even if it's turned off. When clicking anywhere it updates suddenly, just by clicking on the interface.Thanks for your support.François Colou

Bonjour, est-il possible d'ouvrir un fichier after qui a été crée par la version beta de after effect ?

レイヤーシェイプのネットワークがたくさん開いて数値を変えることから解放されるのがうれしいです！クリックがなくて本当につらかった。 プロパティパネル機能すごくいいです！ただ例えば三角形などの[サイズ]と[角丸の半径]の間にある[位置]や線の中にある[線端][線の結合]などはプロパティパネルにないのですが全部入れるとパネルの項目がいっぱいになってしまうからでしょうか？タイムラインの項目（列）のようにユーザーが任意で表示できる項目を選べるようになったら完璧だと思いますが。よろしくお願いします。

DescriptionIt seems that it is possible to import 3D assets via scripting, but users encounter an options dialog upon import before the asset is ready in the project.  Can we get scripting support for that particular import options dialog?   We want users to be able to either accept the defaults of the dialog, or have scripting access to those settings, possibly in AE's Import object.  In essence, the objective is to be able to import 3D file types "silently" without user interaction via scripting. Why is this valuable?Some of Templater users want to automatically re-version their composition with various 3D object source files.  These users can accomplish this with Element3D because .obj files are imported without any dialog.  Current scripting access allows us to change the source of those Element3D .obj layers because there is no import dialog that users encounter upon adding an .obj data file to the project.  For the new, native 3D suppo

I'm using this example because it's easiest to reproduce, but this bug exists everywhere the color picker is seen. Steps to reproduce:In AE, composition settings (Cmd-K),click on background color swatch to open "Background Color" picker.Try to select new color by dragging around the small circle inside the main color swatch area Try to type numbers into the fields Result:• causes that selection circle to snap back to where it was.• numbers enter VERY SLOWLY into the fields (may be part of the larger issue with SLOOOOWWWWW typing everywhere in AE) Expected: to be able to select a color! System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.37    OS: macOS v11.7.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

I updated the beta just now and when I reopened my previous project all the ProRes 444 footage in the project was now causing AE to freak out, tearing and artifacting on the screen. Completely unusable.System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.0.0.11    OS: macOS v12.5.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10 

Steps to reproduce:open graph editor  switch mode to "edit value graph" edit anything in the curve - handles, keys, etc.Result: CRASHES AEExpected: To edit the curve, of course! System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.38    OS: macOS v11.7.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

Steps to reproduce: click on shape layer toolbar (Q) icon  hold mouse Result: no drop down optionExpected: UI should drop down other shape options (I can only select these now by pressing Q key repeatedly) System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.37    OS: macOS v11.7.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

This new Beta update has introduced multiple bugs.  One being in creating a mask on a layer.  When i started creating and dragging the layer, it crashes.  Ugh.

Text Kerning and Leading have issues and has caused the program to crash.  Dunno why it's messing up.  The error alert is as follows:  "internal verification failure, sorry!"  Running Mac Studio M1 Max w/ 64 GB Ram.

this Beta version has the new trackmatte feature which is great btw, but I can't use 3D layers as track mattes.In the old version, there was no problem with that.   

Steps to reproduce:    1.Launch After Effects 2022 or After Effects Beta    2. Setup a Output Module with Avid DNxHD codec. In my case, it's 1080p DNxHD SQ 8-bit    3. Render the movie. Result: QT doesn't play with in QuickTimePlayer 7.x or in Avid (according to my editor)Expected: QT should play in QuickTimePlayer 7.x and Avid What' you'll note in the attached QTPlayerExample.png is that the FG movie INC_003_010_ptv_v004 (converted) is rendered in the Beta while behind it is v005 that is rendered in After Effects 2021. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.33 ALSO After Effects 2022    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 63.68 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 28

I'm not seeing the track matte option on the timeline layer menu. I'm seeing a duplication of the parenting option.
