After Effects (Beta)

I'm using a Mac M2 computer running 15.5 (24F74)AE 25.4 I've been playing with publishing FBX with alternative animation takes from houdini, meshes with bone captured skin. mesh , rest and animation. The takes are no longer appearing next to -namebelow animation options. I have gone back to 25.3 and they have returned 🙂 Thanks John 

Verison; 25.4Platform; Windows Constant lag whilst trying to preview project file despite changing resolution setup to a custom 6x6 and making the compostion setting smaller. Also allocated more RAM (16GB), Enabled Multi-Frame rendering, all other appilcations are closed, drivers are up to date, cleared all cache and GPU acceleration is enbaled.

After Effects beta with roto brush and background text glitches. I have deleted the cache and restarted the application as well as the system, still the same issue.

With the latest update to Ae Beta the parent link icon is missing so I can't parent a layer with a track in a null.

- Mangelhafte und fehlerhafte Programme- keine Gleichmäßige Struktur in den Programmen- unlogisch und absurde Vorgänge- arrogant und überteuert- Sprachlich ungenügend- kein übergreifendes Arbeiten.After Effects am Besten vom Markt nehmen, denn das kann gar nix ohne Fehlermeldung.Interessant wäre ein Praktikum bei Adobe, ob man so arbeiten darf oder soll. UND: danke für das bisherige Feedback, dass in jedem Bewertungsfenster erfragt wird. Jetzt brauche ich auch keine. Hauptsache die Kasse klingelt. Keinen Cent Wert! Ich muss es leider nur ausführen. Verschwendung genug!

We updated to v25.0 in our facility and to our regrets found out that the keyboard shortcut to open FX Console does not work on a text layer if the Properties Panel is opened. None of it's keyboard shortcut options do in that state. I then tested the same in the current beta and it still does not work.   This bug is only present on Windows machines. Mac works fine. v24.x did not suffer from this issue, there must have been something that changed behavior there.   On any other layer the shortcuts simply work even with the Properties Panel opened.

Steps to reproduce:Create a shape layerDraw a shape on itAdd a RepeaterAnimate the Copies gong from 0 to, say, 10Ensure the Repeater's Composite is set to "Above"Add a Wiggle Transform with a Wiggles/Second of 0 and set its position to, say, 100,0 Result:As each extra shape appears, the already-drawn shapes move around Expected:Shapes already on screen shoudl remain in place. If you change the Repeater's Composite to "Below", the shapes do not move - this is "as expected" behaviour. Adjusting the Wiggle's Random Seed does not help. Attached project shows the issue - change the Repeater's Composite to Above or Below to see the difference. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v25.4.0.30    OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 127.91 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

After effects will not open. My device meets the requirments to use After effects and all of the other adobe apps I have work fine e.g illustrator,photoshop,Premier pro but one day after effects stopped working The splash screen will load then disapper or The splash screen will glitch and not allow me to close it meaning I have to use task manager to close it - photo of the second outcome attached. It gives me options to start in safe mode or reset prefernces but none of these options work and I do not have any plugins installed  I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled and even updated to the latest version v25.2.2 However even switching to older versions does not work. Here are my system specs - Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHzInstalled RAM 20.0 GB (19.8 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor I have even tried the Beta AE but it still will not work I have tried both opening

Hello. I m using After Effects 25.2.2 Build 2. I import an fbx file with animation, but the result are very inconsistent.Yesterday when I imported an fbx with an animation, under animation tab, the name was there and I could preview the animation. Today, same file, same animation, the animation tab appears, but the name of the animation is missing and it doesn t work. If I make a simple cube in any 3d software with an animation and I import it, I can see it, animation tab is there, but there is no name of the animation and it doesn t work.Same inconsistency for the environment light. I have an hdr in the scene, I try to use it as a source for an envrionment light, in one day I can choose the hdr that is there, in other day I cannot, it is not showing. After some clicks, it takes into consideration the light, but still without showing in source.Do you have a fix? Should I try the beta version? I cannot work on a serious project and one day the animation to not work. Thank you.

Hi there,I'm running into an issue with the Toggle Button in my scripts. The image buttons no longer highlight when toggled like they used to in AE 2024. Just wondering if this is something that's being looked into. Here’s a quick demo of the issue: Video linkAnd here’s the script used in the video: Script link Thanks!Sergei

Hello😊the new UI for after effects has problems when I try to move a layer, moving the time indicator(head) in the time line, even the guids from the ruler.If there is any info you want me to previde, I am hereThank you.

I'm having trouble getting After Effects to output consistent color that matches the Composition window. It doesn't matter if I toggle off Display Managed Color, or add a QT Gamma Compensation LUT during the export process. I've tried all different codecs. All of my exports look low-contrast and have a different gamma than what i'm creating in the program. Is adobe working on this? What can be done???  OSX 13.6.4 (22G513)After Effects Beta 25.3.0

Hi,   We've noticed a critical bug in Essential Graphics. The text is not updating outside of the EG comps when it's changed in the source. It updates the color but not the font size or type or other aspects. This problem wasn't present in v23 but seems to be in 24.x all the way up to this beta.   Steps to reproduce: - Create comp with text layer with any formatting. - Promote 'source text' in Essential Graphics of that comp. - Make another comp and put that setup comp in it. - Change the EG text to something else or link it to a new source text of a text layer. - Change the font type and size inside the setup comp. - The updates are not reflected outside in the other comp.   This has been a workflow breaking issue for us. Project made in 23 are completely broken and are only fixable by going to every place where the text has been adjusted and re-read from primary comp then apply the adjustment again. This is a no go for projects where such things are referenced over 100

 

After Effects (Beta): Unable to allocate 132.563 MB of memory. Either decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame, or install more RAM. (12803 / Unidentified caller.). For more information, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_mem I'm testing the "beta" of AE and wanted to report this issue.. (which even happens in the official version 25.1) but here it's more constant because as you can see I'm rendering my video and I get this error, and they are just aligned clips without any effect (well, just one, the "twixtor pro" effect) which doesn't take up much space! but still it tells me that I'm out of memory idk.. I have 24 gb of ram of which I have assigned 16 to after effects (leaving 8gb so that windows 11 runs correctly) also even if I add the maximum it still shows up "even though it's a super light project" I'm also noticing that pressing the "space" key to preview has a delay of about 3-5 seconds " it seems that it lacks optimization in the render, I don't know,

I'm not sure if it's something to do with preview caching, but if I leave it on in the background, my PC (it's a pretty good gaming PC) becomes unbearably slow. My PC froze for 3-5 minutes today and I couldn't even close After Effects.

When i Import a 3d model into AE Beta it doesn't show up. The controls to move it around do, it's like it's invisible. Does anyone know a fix?

I'm not sure when this stopped working but lately I've been doing a lot of disclaimers and it seems like After Effects' justified text paragraph modes are broken (whether it's Last-Left, Last-Centered, Last-Right, or Justify All.) Words overflow out the right side of the text box, and I have to manually edit and shift-enter line breaks in after the next-to-last word on those lines (and then pull up the rest, which changes the results of subsequent lines, etc.) I was still on AE 2023 but recently upgraded machines and got on 2024, going from Windows 10 to 11, but can say that it definitely was broken in 2023. Then I installed the current beta (24.2.0) to check and it's still broken there too:  As you can see the first line is fine, the next 4 aren't, the following 4 are, etc. Font doesn't matter; size doesn't matter; changing either does give you different results obviously, but still will result in many jagged right-hand lines. Photoshop and Illustrator format corre

After last 2 updates I cannot see anymore selection rectangle while drag-selecting in composition view or layer view. It works as usual in timeline and project panels, but not in view panels.The selection itself works, I am able to select layers or mask vertices, but I cannot see the "selection rectangle". Had to return to regular AE version.Any ideas how to resolve this issue? using now AE Beta version 25.2.0 (100)
