After Effects (Beta)

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 !

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.

Steps to reproduce:    1. Pick-whip a track matte2. Do a ctrl-Z Result:Track matte remains assigned, no matter how many undos I do. All previous actions "undo" correctly, but the track matte remains in place.Expected: Track matte assignment should "undo". System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.7    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 127.92 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

I was trying to add a timer overlay using After Effects using Dynamic Link and Premiere Pro, which I could do fine in the non-beta versions of the respective programs. But for some reason using both the beta versions of both programs, the linked .MP4 file from Premiere Pro in After Effects takes much much longer to render. The render time (just to view in the timeline) displayed anything between 150ms to 350ms. Playback would often result in a 0.3 second segment of the video to loop and repeat over and over. Version: After Effects Beta 23.0OS: Windows 11Steps to reproduce the problem: Open a Premiere Pro project, and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", and open the linked project in After Effects.Expected result: Way better playback speeds, no "Low memory" message.

I am simply clicking update on the Adobe Creative Cloud as I normally would to update software to get this error.I have tried deleting stored info, CCX processes and surrounding folders, deleting all old app info, but to no avail.

Yesterday I wanted to update Adobe After Effects (beta), but the installation failed. It also uninstalled the old version. I uninstalled the whole Adobe Creative Cloud, and installed it again, but it (the AE Beta version install) still fails.Attached is the error log.I could work with the normal version of After Effects, but then my files won't open and I have to start all over.What can I do? Anybody else experiencing this problem?

We are very happy to bring a new feature to the Beta. As of today’s build (22.5.0 Build 18) you can now color your keyframes with one of AE's label colors. This has been a huge customer request, and we know users that saw the sneak-peek at MAX have been anxious to get their hands on it.   Right-click on any keyframe(s), select ‘Label’, and choose the color you want assigned. You will also notice an option to ‘Select Label Group’, where you can use that color label as the basis for a selection. We have a few more features coming very soon, including scripting hooks and additional selection options. So stay tuned…   The new color labels led us to realize we needed a better keyframe selection UI. We wanted to allow you to see the label colors even while selected, and to make sure the selection didn’t disappear if that label was blue. This release includes the new selection UI that we would like you to experiment with. To show the difference, in the example images below I want to

L'utilisation des touches de raccourcis 4,5 et 6, comme spécifié dans les préférences 3D ne fonctionne pas avec un clavier AZERTY. Je trouve le widget Universal pas si pratique et j'utiliserai plutôt les widgets Position, Echelle, Rotation. Pourquoi ne pas remprendre les raccourcis P S R, qui afficheraient à la fois la propriété correspondante dans le panneau montage et le widget dans le visualiseur de la composition. Les raccourcis 1, 2 et 3 ne fonctionnent pas non plus pour la navigation entre les outils caméra mais ce n'est pas gênant puisque l'on à les 3 boutons de souris avec Alt enfoncé ou appuyer plusieurs fois sur C.

Good evening all! As of today, we have expanded the functionality of the Shift+J and Shift+K keyboard shortcuts of After Effects 23.0 Beta (build 38).   You can now use Shift+J and Shift + K to navigate between keyframes or layer markers on a selected layer, ignoring keyframes and layer markers on unselected layers above and below.       You can also use Shift+J and Shift+K to navigate between keyframes on selected properties of a selected layer -- thus ignoring keyframes and layer markers on all unselected properties on your selected layer as well as those on unselected layers.     In the below example, we demonstrate both selection types in action. First, the user navigates between keyframes on the "Hair Bounce" layer. Then, the user selects the "Torso" layer and navigates between that layer's keyframes before selecting the "Angle" property of the "Torso" layer and navigating amongst only the keyframes on that property.     Our goal is to he

With the release of the Beta v23.x there is the ability to pickwhip track mattes now (which is awesome)However, when I copy pasted a selection of layers into a new comp with all sorts of track mattes, all of the layers came over in the correct order and were parented correctly (as expected), however nothing was linked anymore with track mattes.What's weird is when re-linking the track mattes, it did retain if it was an alpha or luma matte and if it was inverted or not.. so some of the information is retained while the physical link is broken.

In After Effects beta (on Mac M1, at least), programmatically opening a ModalDialog extension from a "sibling" extension (both under the same ExtensionBundle CSXS/Manifest) now breaks the Extendscript scope. assuming my jsx file has this line:var hello = "world"; then on After Effects up until version 22.6 I could do in Javascript -var test1 = await evalScript("hello"); console.log("test1:" + test1); await openModalPanel(); var test2 = await evalScript("hello"); console.log("test2:" + test2);I would get:test1: worldtest2: worldwhere of course evalScript and openModalPanel are my custom async functions (code not shown) that evaluate JSX (using CSInterface.evalScript) and open a bundled ModalDialog extension and wait for it to open before resolving (by the use of CSInterface.requestOpenExtension and messaging to determin that it had opened). Same exact code as above on After Effects beta gives:test1: worldtest2: EvalScript

Hello, I have AE comps imported to PR (2020, not beta) timeline and everytime I update and save any comp in AE, all the comps in the PR timeline will turn offline. My temporary solution is to relink the media.  Does anyone know hwo to fix this? Thanks.
