After Effects (Beta)

Occasionally, when attempting to re-time a video clip, I encounter issues such as a black screen appearing in the middle of the re-timing keys, video inversion, or video flipping upside down. 

Regardless of the setting of the 'loop options' button in the Preview panel, playback of a RAM preview ALWAYS loops.I'm on AE Beta 25.2.2x85 I was using AE in "dangerous mode" - that is I was working on a project with linked comps with PPro also open. I quit both AE and PPro, relaunched AE (but not PPro), opened the same project, and the issue has gone away. Looks like it might be related to the dreaded, longstanding CTI not moving issue: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/pti-and-cti-not-moving-on-preview/m-p/15100265#M260508

There's an annoying flickering pehnomena on the shadows when rendering 3D objects with fast camera motion. Even if I rasie the render qaulity to 50, set the Shadow Resolution to Full and shadow softenss to 20 it still shows.Version 24.2 Build 27Attach a sample render

Hi everyone!    We're excited to announce that starting in version 24.5.0x41 of After Effects Beta introduces support for per-character control of text and paragraph styling in Expressions.    This long-requested addition to Expressions builds on recent per-character scripting API updates to unlock powerful text styling capabilities that are able to respond to changes in text content and can be saved and shared as presets. These new options can also streamline template design by making it possible to configure alignment and paragraph styling in a single layer rather than turning on and off multiple synced copies of a layer.    A benefit of per-character control is automatic reflowing of text such as when scaling letters, using superscript, and using a different font, just as you would expect from using substring styling from the Character panel.      Getting Started    Make sure you have your expression engine set to Javascript. 

I've got the 3d model from adobe stock and I was able to import it into after effects and move it around. However I can't see any of the textures on the model. It was imported into after effects along with the model and I can open each one to see that they correct as an image. How do I get the textures to appear on the model itself?

I updated AE Beta to the last version a few weeks ago and it simply crashes everytime I launch it.(System Apple m2 max, last OS version.) Every time the same crash message :  I avoid updating AE regular to the last version, cause if this happens too I won't be able to work anymore...

I don't know if it was the AE update today or the mac update my company pushed through (15.1.1) or a combo of both, but I cannot use Beta right now. Works for a few minutes and then continuously gives me a myriad of pop up error messages. Won't let me save once they start appearing.  Very frustrating. Sample error messages and system info in screenshots. I've now downloaded the latest regular version of AE and so far it appears to be working. Problem must be beta? 

I don't whats up with this error it keeps poping up and it doesn't want to save or save as, and evntually it just freezes, no playback moving or any other tools works.I have to force quite on my macbook pro, which is worst than crashing cuz I force quit it without even being able to save my progressWhat do I do about this ? This for after effets 2025 (beta) last update for 9 of Dec,2024. and it is updated with the latest version. 

Hey folks, recently using After Effects beta, i'm getting a lot of this kind of error. Happens suddenly and I havent found anything online about it.  The error happens with files in the project and other things that I don't understand.It aways show up: "After effects beta warning: unable to access resource..." and then it freezes, I have to force quit.  In this project of the print screen, it's only a layer with cc ball and fractal noise, but it already happened with file (psd, ai) and other names like on the print screen that I don't remember.

Hello!    Today we’re introducing new UI in After Effects Beta that helps you visualize when 3D layers are rendered together. The new binning indicators for 3D layers show you which 3D layers render together in the same 3D space, which allows them to intersect and cast shadows on each other. We call such a group of 3D layers a “bin”.    Starting in After Effects Beta version 18.1.0.3, you’ll see new icons in for 3D layers the 3D Layer column in the Timeline panel. An outline around the 3D icons indicates which layers are in the same 3D bin and thus render together. Here's an example of what it looks like:    It’s important to understand that this new UI does not change how After Effects renders 3D layers. The 3D binning indicators are only a UI enhancement, part of our ongoing effort to improve the experience of working in

We're excited to announce that starting in After Effects (Beta) 24.2.0 build 22, you'll have the choice to export your .mogrt thumbnail with a video preview of the primary composition. Additionally, all .mogrt thumbnails will export at a full 16:9 resolution instead of being letterboxed.     In After Effects, in the Essential Graphics panel, select Export Motion Graphics Template… Select the Include video preview checkbox to create a video preview, or deselect it to create a static thumbnail.   In Premiere Pro, open the Essential Graphics panel and hover scrub over your .mogrt to see it animate.  Tell us what you think, your feedback is appreciated!   

I have a large Premiere Pro project containign hundreds of Graphics Templates created in After Effects (Beta)I am on a new machine with only uses standard After Effects, the Graphics in Premiere are broken, and when I try to relink them I get the following error. Adobe After Effects (Beta) must be installed to import this file.I thought I could fix this by opening the orignial After Effects file that the template was created in After Effects (Beta), I exported it using After Effects giving it the same name, but the same error pops up Another thing I tried was importing the new template then OPT-drag to replace, as the Graphic Parameters are identical, but that didn't work either Is there anything else I can try? I don't enough space to install After Effects (Beta) as well as After Effects

Creating an expression to link one transform effect scale to the other breaks. Steps to recreate:New project, new Comp. Add a solid and apply a Transform effect on the layer. Duplicate layer. Create expression link from the Transform effect (scale) to the other layer's Transform effect (scale). Error occurs.  It looks like it's not taking into account the Uniform Scale checkbox option above it and is trying to maintain split dimensions and not finding that other dimension as it's currently hidden/not applicable. 

"To run After Effects in a compatible mode, choose "Get Info" in the applicationcontext menu and enable "Open using Rosetta"." What does that even mean? Where should I go? Adobe team > come on, make an effort... 

Today is one of those really exciting days for us on the After Effects team. The ongoing work building out our 3D design space now gets the best addition yet – native support for 3D models. As of today’s build (23.1 Build 44) you can now import .OBJ, .GLB or .GLTF models directly into your project, and drop them into your composition.    We are anxious to get this into your hands so we can learn more about the features you want us to focus on. This is not meant to replace a dedicated 3D product. We are building a 3D toolbox to enhance your creative options directly within After Effects.    Choose CMD/CTRL + I (or File > Import > File) and import your model from the browser window. When you drag your model into the comp, a Model Settings dialog will appear. You can also reopen this dialog any time from the Layer menu. Change the settings to get the model to the sizing you want, or choose the ‘Make Comp Size’ button to have AE do it for you.

Hello I just downloaded the latest version of AE, and what a surprise : the EFFECT panel is a total disaster (how can you publish and update, even in Beta, with such a bug ?) When, in your main comp, you open a precomp and add effects on a layer, if you go back to the main comp and use the EFFECT panel on any layer, it goes directly to the last layer of the precomp !Managing to see the proper effect of the proper layer is then really hard, you have to click on all the layers randomly until the EFFECT panel finally displays the effect of your layer.And even that way sometimes it goes into the precomp and displays the effect of the layer in the precomp. AE became totally unusable Worse : if you manage to see the proper effect of your layer, and modify datas, sometines it randomly goes to the layer in the precomp, show its effects, while still displaying the dropdown menus or text aera of the effect you were mofifying in the main precomp. And then : it crashes

Hi everyone,We’re excited to announce the addition of 33 new presets in the 24.5.0.40 build of After Effects (Beta), designed to streamline your creative projects. From infographics and numbers to transitions and textures, these presets are designed to simplify what you need to create while adding quick production value to your compositions. These presets aim to give you a strong starting point for commonly used elements while also providing the control you need to customize them to the needs of your project.   Many of these presets were created by or in collaboration with the wonderful Evan Abrams. Check out www.motiondesignhotline.com weekly for great AE discussions with Evan and Kyle Hamrick.      Backgrounds Anime Radial – Create anime-inspired radial backgrounds Anime Speed Lines – The classic speed lines for bringing energy and momentum   Behaviors Random Colors – Creates animated random variations of a selected color Random O

When I move my cursor into the preview area to change the size of a text box for example, it goes really large. So large that it's hard to click specific areas. 

Hi all,   The latest beta of After Effects, 25.2x4, now includes support for H.264 in MKV. Our support is particularly focused on customers using MKV files from OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). We support AAC and PCM audio.    We’d love to get your feedback on this new feature.

On AE 2025 random crash with Auto Color + BCC Color Correction.

Seems to be a UI bug with AE 2025, present in both the latest public release and the beta. I have a dual-monitor setup, one monitor is 2560x1440 and the other is 4K / 3840 x 2160. My regular workspace is set up for dual screens, but I often switch to the "small screen" preset to make screen recordings.  When I make this change (and when I change back again) some of the UI text becomes tiny.  This includes the RGB values in the info palette, and the colomb headings in the timeline (ie Source Name / Track Matte / Parent & Link). Screenshots attached.
