After Effects (Beta)

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. 

So there's an ongoing bug where .Mogrt files that I output from After Effects do not show the proper transparency inside Premiere unless I uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" in the sequence settings. Is there something I need to check in my project file so transparency works properly? I don't want to have to tell every editor to change this setting when they use my .Mogrts.

For example, when you hit A on the keyboard to reveal anchor point proprieties for all the layers on the timeline and then press A again to hide the proprieties, AE freezes for a few seconds, the latest AE beta. it works ok in the latest version of AE. 

I've just loaded up a project I'd previously been working on in a previous version of AE Beta, and bizarrely, two of my video layers are being treated as audio files:There is no eyeball to switch on the layer's visibility.If I open the layer to view it, there is no video to view. But if I open the source file in the Project (in AE) it plays back perfectly. If I drag the footage to the New Comp icon, the new comp opens as usual, and the footage is in the comp, but it's the same story - no eyeball to switch on. I shall transcode the file to something else and see if that helps. Yes, it did - I converted it to a ProRes422, replaced it and it now works. Odd.

Bonjour,J'avais installé After Effect Beta, qui fonctionnait parfaitement bien. Mais en faisant la mise à jour récemment, il n'a plus fonctionné. J'ai donc désinstallé, et tenté de ré-installer à plusieurs reprises, mais l'installation échoue à chaque fois peu avant 90%.Il y a des projets pros que j'ai créés avec After Effect Beta, il est indispensable que je puisse travailler de nouveau avec la version Beta.Auriez-vous une solution à m'apporter ?Un grand merci ! 

I'm unable to install latest After Effects BETA v23.1 2023 BETA on my Macbook M1 MAX, here is the crash logExit Code: 183-------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 2 fatal error(s), 2 error(s), 3 warnings(s) FATAL: Error (Code = 183) executing in command 'RunProgramCommand' for package: 'AdobeAfterEffectsBetaBetaAllTrial_maxon-osx-arm64', version:23.1.0.17FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobeAfterEffectsBetaBetaAllTrial_maxon-osx-arm64 Version: 23.1.0.17).

The comp "Demo" which contains an essential graphics instance is not usable due to extremely slow rendertimes, whereas the subcomp "MultiStyleTextLine" renders quite fast. I often had the feeling that essential graphics comp instances render very slow, but this exagerates it to a point where it is not possible to work with it in a template project anymore.  Tested in AE 22.6.0 Build 33AE 22.5.0.Build 53both with the same result.  It would be great to know what causes this slowdown and how we can optimize the comp. Best regards,Markus

When you first press a hotkey to acess the properties of a layer, the program freezes for one or two seconds before showing the requested property instead of showing them instantly. This never happened oSystem info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.23    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 15,86 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8

Every time I try to change the name of a folder or composition, the app hangs on me. Also does it when I try to 'restore unrenderedd' dynamic link clips.

Whenever I open AE, or opene a project, I get the error:Unable to execute script at line 5. system is undefined.I click OK to dismiss it, and AE seems to behave perfectly. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.7    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 127.92 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

The new beta version have a bug, any kind of .mov video doesn't have any sound at all. Tried multiple files, same. Re-rendered the video to .mp4 format in Premiere, after that the video has sound again.This only accurs in After effects beta version, seems fine in stable version.

If you set the stroke width for a layer first that has a “None” stroke color applied and then set the stroke color, the stroke width is not acknowledged. If you deselect and select the layer again the stroke width is even reset to the default value that was set before the change. All the best, René

I'm not sure if it's only 3rd party plugins, but yesterday when I was using Mocha AE, when I tried to select the target layer to apply the track to, I could click on the pop-up menu to select the layer, but as soon as I released the mouse button/menu, the selection went back to being empty. Today, when using Deep Glow, I'm trying to select a layer to sue as a mask, and I get the same problem. If I open the same project in AE2022 (public release 22.4.0 Build 56) it works OK.

I wanted to toggle "Show layer controls" but it wasn't working neither from the view menu nor with the keyboard shortcut. I restarted AE and it started to work again

Aparentemente a ferramenta de animação para textos está com bug. Não consigo entender a mudança. Tento alterar Ramp Up ou Ramp Down, mas não funciona como na versão full. Coloco algo e não pega, não funciona.

the Advanced Spill Suppressor is missing controls and menu items in the Effects Control panel and doesn't funtion properly in this new Beta release (25.5.0 build 43)

This has been a bug since Apple introduced dark mode. When importing, we get a light import window, even though the system is set to dark mode. There's something else wrong with this window as well, using a Wacom pen it doesn't scroll up and down, it activates quick look. I have my Wacom pens top button assiged to scroll, works everywhere else.
