After Effects (Beta)

Trashcan Mac running 11.2.1.I've having really spotty luck with dropdown option not wanting to open when using a non-default workspace.    ie Text option, puppet pin options, etc in the toolbar but also in some scripts, Ease and Wizz, PT Auto Express, etc.  Sometimes it's works without a problem, I open the app again and it doesn't.  They seem to work correctly using a default space.

Hello! New warp stabilizer freeezes, when analyzing, % and time are not changing, and if I press cancel  After Effects becomes "not responding".  My specs are: 3x 1080Ti, Windows 10 20H2, Threadripper 3960X, 128Gb Ram, 1Tb NVME SSD, 14Tb HDD. Input file is from DJI Mavic 2, h265 mp4.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UtBoIXGWlfHlPxU6qT9dZd09CjoYD7W4/view?usp=sharing

When switching a layer to 3D and activating Draft 3D with the ground plane visible the ground plane does not show if I just dolly away from my object.Switching to a custom view shows the ground plane but orbiting around make the ground plane vanish at certain angles of the orbit tool (see screen capture and screenshots). Is this behavior intended? I also got a warning message once while working with the camera tools (see screenshot) which resulted in my layer being deleted by AE.Unfortunately I cannot attach the files as several menu commands and short cuts do not work (Save as…, Import file…) please see separate screen capture. 

When switching between the render modes AE reproted an error when I did it the first time. Relaunching AE and going through the same procedure did not cause an error message. But it takes some time (please see attached screen capture). I submitted the error through the AE reporter).   

The default language of the app. In the creative cloud settings, "English" is set for all applications. Russian Russian is installed when installing the beta version of After Effects, the application is launched in Russian with the Russian system interface installed. Extremely inconvenient. I haven't found a way to fix it yet

Hi, I have a Macbook pro 2020 with the Apple M1 chip and 8gb of RAM and running the latest macOS Big sur 11.2. After Effects (Beta) doesnt want to open and gives me the following error: After Effects (Beta) can’t continue: Licensing Error: Your subscription entitles you to Chinese Simplified product versions. Please verify the language settings in your OS, browser, and software download are set to Chinese Simplified. If you continue to have installation issues, please contact support. {www.adobe.com/go/support} Adobe Support is not very helpful and dont want to help me. I also don't understand why it shows that my license is only for Chinese versions, because i'm from The Netherlands and all my other Adobe apps work, also the non Beta version of Adobe After Effects. By the way: Adobe After Effects Beta DOES work when I set my macOS system language to english, but i would like to keep using my Macbook with dutch language. Anyone that knows a solution for this problem

When clicking to create an anchorpoint, this new point immediately moves a few pixels.

Hi there, I'm Markus the developer of GEOlayers. I was wondering if there is a timeline for UXP integration in After Effects. I checked out the forums and had a brief chat what would be needed to make porting GEOlayers possible. Due to the team telling me there will be no webview or anything similar in UXP it will be impossible to port my Extension. Mostly because of missing webgl and webworkers. So it would be great to know a timeframe when CEP will be kicked out of AE and what options I have to keep GEOlayers alive... Best regards,Markus

Hi, Every time I run fast draft in after effects it immediately crashes. I've been updaing daily to see if this feature will work soon but it has been pretty buggy from the start and has now started just crashing on enable.  Steps to reproduce: 1. New Comp 1920x1080 24p, 8 bit, Cuda enabled. 2. Load small illustrator file3. Place illustrator file in comp and enable 3D switch4. Set render to fast draft5. Crash to desktop.  Specs: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080ti  11GBAMD Ryzezn Threadripper 3960x128GB DDR4 RamMultiple SSDs etc. Windows 10 20H2 19042.746 Nvidia January Studio Driver (461.40) w/ Clean Install.  Unrelated: How do we know when AE will start using Direct X? 

No chance to move it on Screen. Stick behind Finder Menue. But the resize Handles LEFT and DOWN are working.

It is not possible to make any Settings in Renderlist. Clicking on the Menues have no Effect.

Clicking on macOS File Open Dialog has no Effect!

Starting with After Effects (Beta) version 18.0, the user interface, especially on Windows, can be placed on or moved between monitors set to different display scales/resolutions (in the Display settings in Windows 10 or the Displays control panel in macOS), and look correct and sharper without having to relaunch the app.   In addition to this change, the following related bugs have been addressed: Eyedropper was not picking the correct color when sampling from a different monitor. The borders of windows and dialog boxes were not drawing on all sides when the display scale changed. The contents of the About screen were not appearing in the correct place when the app window was on an external monitor set to a display scale different than the primary monitor.   REQUESTS FOR TESTING: If you use a multi-monitor setup, especially when they're set to different display scales or resolutions, try moving windows and dialog boxes between monitors to make sure they appear properly (i.

In Beta version 17.7.0 when all frames are cached the preview plays extreamly slow.

Whenever I try to use Rotobrush 2, the selection constantly expands after a few frames until it selects the whoel screen.I tried 4 different videos and reinstalled After Effects, but it behaves the same as well. Furthermore, it also sometimes yield the error message : Unkown Exception too.Any help on why this tool is behaving this way would help a lot.

New Beta version disables GPU acceleration.  Regular version works as intended, I've installed the latest Nvidia Studio Drivers, and restarted my machine.

Steps to reproduce:    1. GPU not available in "Video Rendering and Effects" panel. It is grayed out.    2. Dispaly Acceleration is disabled. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v17.7.0.40    OS: Windows v10.0.19041, RAM: 63.91 GB, CPUs (logical): 20    GPU and Drivers ver.: GTX 1080 Ti, Nvidia Studio Drivers ver. 460.89

I am not able to drag my media (tried png and mp4) into the Essential Graphics panel.

Essential properties do not individually access different properties of the same type in shape layers.https://youtu.be/2uJRdi8o54c

Premiere has a feature in the preferences where you can tick a checkbox to restore or not restore opened timelines. I'm wondering if something like that would be possible for After Effects. Sometimes when users open other people's projects, it can cause AE to crash or drag performance. This would hopefully help reduce that in some sense.

The New Captions Workflow in Premiere Beta is a great feature and I was surprised to also see the same menu option in the AE Beta, but am unable to figure out what it actually does in AE. Does it currently do anything?

Hello Beta Testers! We are pleased to inform you that Roto Brush 2 is now available for beta testing in the 17.1.2x32 build of After Effects (Beta). This new propagation engine incorporates the technology behind Project Fast Mask from MAX 2018 to streamline rotoscoping/isolating a subject or object from a background.   The amazing notiansans from Learn How to Edit Stuff has created a great tutorial video for Roto Brush 2 in After Effects (Beta) showing the basic workflow as well as a comparison with original Roto Brush.   What We Need From You We are looking primarily for feedback on how the new propagation engine is performing with real-world footage, though all feedback is welcome. Your testing efforts and input are highly appreciated.   If you are willing and able to share footage with the After Effects team where Roto Brush 2 is having difficulty isolating a subject when propagating, please follow these steps to submit the footage and project: In t

When 3D trackpoints are selected and deleted, Ae removes all points from the view (to bring the ones that where untouched back, seconds later). This is confusing.
