After import an Adobe Illustrator file (30.7), After effects(25.0.0) displays the vector art with a white backgroundAfter effects shows me the vector art like a flattened image!This has never happened to me before, and I need a solution. 

Working on an animation project and I ran into an issue with a piece of text where the percentage was supposed to be listed. The text read “...greater than or equal to %25 of...” and I flagged it as a typo. However, when I tried to fix it, no matter what I did or where I copied the text from, my “25%” formatted to “%25”. Was working in v26, but the issue carried over when I downgraded to v25 as well.Haven’t had this issue with any other project. I just tested it in another recent project (also v25) and was able to type the percentages okay, so not sure if this is project specific, v26 specific, or user/formatting error. Saw another couple posts on the Photoshop forums with the same issue, but no real fix.Two things I noticed/did to resolve the issue.For some reason, Hindi digits was checked. I got my project file from another editor, so maybe they had it enabled. Unchecked that box. It may help others, although I saw no change. I selected all my text, went to the Text settings on the s

Gradient rendering issue (Grayscale) in Lottie/Bodymovin after After Effects 2026 (v26.0) update Issue: After updating to After Effects 2026 (v26.0), all gradients are being rendered in black and white (grayscale) when exported via the Lottie (Bodymovin) extension. The same project worked perfectly in the previous version (v25.x). Details: Setup: I am using standard Shape Layer Gradient Fills (not Layer Styles). Symptoms: All gradients in the project lose their color data and appear as grayscale in the exported JSON file and Lottie players. Suspected Cause: It seems like a compatibility issue between the new Color Management system (OCIO/Color Engine) in AE 2026 and the Lottie export data structure. Tested Workarounds: Changing Project Settings (Color Working Space to 'None') or saving the project before export does not resolve the issue in v26.0. However, the file exports correctly when opened in AE 2025. Environment: After Effects Version: 2026 (v26.0 or later) Extension: Bod

I'm trying to follow the 'Top 10 Skills Editors Want to Master in After Effects' course, but the download for the project files don't work. I've tried to download them many times and in many different ways, but the download keeps getting corrupted. Only I read that multiple people have this problem.

Issue: In Local Axis Mode, the 3D Transform Gizmo's Z (depth) handle translates the layer along World Z instead of its local Z when dragged in the Active Camera or any perspective view. Local X and Y handles are unaffected. The same local-Z move performed in an orthographic view works correctly, isolating the fault to the gizmo's perspective-view drag rather than the transform engine.Steps to reproduce:Create a 3D Camera Tracked comp of a scene, add solids using the camera tracked points. In the Tools panel, select Local Axis Mode. With the comp set to Active Camera (or any perspective view), drag the gizmo's blue Z (depth) handle back and forth using a solid.Expected result: The layer translates along its local Z axis (its facing/depth direction), consistent with Local Axis Mode.Actual result: The layer translates along World Z, ignoring Local Axis Mode. Local X and Y handles behave correctly — only Z is affected. Dragging the same layer along local Z in an orthographic view (e.g. Top

Hi everyone,I’m writing to bring attention to ongoing, severe performance issues in After Effects starting from the 2025 releases. As a paying Creative Cloud subscriber, the current state of the software has severely impacted my workflow and daily productivity. I cannot work anymore smoothly with the latest AE versions.The Key Issues: Memory & Resource Spikes: Rapid, unexplained RAM/disk usage leading to lag and full app freezes. Preview & Timeline Lag: Severe slowdowns during simple composition playback and UI interaction compared to previous versions (e.g., AE 2024). System Instability: Frequent crashes and memory leak behaviors even when standard troubleshooting steps are taken (purging media cache, resetting preferences, allocation adjustments). Sudden File Incompatibility (MP4 & MOV): Files that worked fine previously—especially standard .mp4 and .mov containers—are suddenly throwing errors, failing to import, or displaying as unsupported/corrupted media without

I have found that when I try to adjust tracking results of the object mask using the mouse to move the mask in the Program Monitor a keyframe is not added to any of the properties. Path or Transform. The numbers do change in the properties window without adding a ketframe.If I manipulate the numbers in the properties panel a keyframe is added.

In past versions of After Effects, I have been able to click on the missing footage, hit the return key to make the name editable, type command c to copy the name of missing footage and paste that into the search bar. This made locating and relinking footage very simple. That feature seems to have gone away in the past year or so. It would be great to get that back again. Are there any other discussions on this? Or is there something in the preferences that I'm missing?

Steps to reproduce:Create a new composition (any size/settings) 2. Add a solid layer 3. Run this via a script panel or File > Scripts > Run Script File: var v = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).property("Transform").property("Position").value; alert("pos=" + v); Expected result: Alert shows the Position value, e.g. "pos=320,180,0"Actual result:Script fails with: Error: invalid numeric result (divide by zero?)Additional notes: String(v), v.join(","), and v.toString() all work fine on the exact same array — only implicit + string concatenation triggers it. Scalar properties (Opacity, Rotation) are unaffected. Reproduces on a completely fresh project/comp/layer, and persists across a full quit and relaunch of After Effects.After Effects version: 26.3.0 (Build 87)Operating system: macOS 15.7.9

Hello Adobe team,I am experiencing a startup crash with Adobe After Effects 2025 version 25.1.0.68 on Windows.After Effects crashes during startup, and Windows Event Viewer reports that the faulting module is: Faulting application name: AfterFX.exeFaulting application version: 25.1.0.68Faulting module name: microsoft.ai.machinelearning.dllFaulting module version: 1.24.4.0Exception code: 0xc0000409Faulting module path:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\microsoft.ai.machinelearning.dll The corresponding onnxruntime.dll in the same Adobe folder is also version 1.24.4.What I foundI confirmed that the problem appears to be related to the 1.24.4 AI/ML runtime.With the original files:microsoft.ai.machinelearning.dll  1.24.4.0onnxruntime.dll                    1.24.4  After Effects 25.1 crashes on startup.However, I backed up the original 1.24.4 files and replaced both DLLs with the following matching 1.17 build: microsoft.ai.machinelearning.dllVersion: 1.17.20240223.

After Effects 26.3 pastes stale/cached clipboard content when source window maintains foreground focus (reproducible with Windows Clipboard History, Win+V)Summary:When the OS clipboard content is changed by a tool that does not stealforeground/keyboard focus from the currently active window (e.g. Windows'built-in Clipboard History flyout, Win+V), After Effects continues topaste its own internally cached "last copied" rich text object instead ofthe actual current clipboard content, as long as the AE window itself wasnever deactivated in between.

Good afternoon, my name is Pedro, and I've been having problems with Pr and Ae for a while now because of the yellowish coloring of the videos, basically they get VERY yellow when they enter these programs. But, in Premiere this problem is solvable, after I configure the sequence to Rec 709 it becomes normal, something that doesn't happen in After Effects, because even using the same configuration (Rec 709) it remains yellowishMy computer's configuration is: MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5 Dual-Core Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB(Sorry if something is difficult to understand, I'm using a translator)

It seems to be impossible to have stable shadows from a spot light with the Advanced 3D Renderer, the darkness just changes randomly on every frame. I’ve tried a lot of different settings and this issue seems impossible to solve.Higher Render Quality > FailsELS Resolution Double > FailsHigher ELS Smoothness > FailsBigger Casting Box Size > FailsMercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA) > FailsMercury Software Only > FailsMedia Cache On/Off > FailsThere are no overlapping layers either. Most recent GPU driver is installed. This occured on multiple projects in different AEPs.

the video I put on ae freezes and when I enter the app on launchpad it says system error continue . and when I enter the app from the screen it doesn't let me and says engine error or something like that and it doesn't work 

I'm new to After Effects 2026. I pressed the space bar to check the image to produce a simple video, but it won't play. I looked up the shortcut bar and configuration settings, but I can't find an answer. After searching, people said that this was a bug. Please give me a solution to this situation. I only have three days.

Hello Adobe Team,I'm experiencing an issue with Adobe After Effects 2025 on my MacBook Air M2.Problem:When I click the macOS green Full Screen button, After Effects does not enter native Full Screen mode. Instead, it remains in windowed mode or immediately returns to the normal window.I have already tried:- Resetting After Effects Preferences- Resetting Workspace- Restarting my Mac- Turning Stage Manager ON and OFF- Checking Mission Control settings- Reinstalling After Effects and Creative CloudNone of these steps solved the issue.Could you please confirm whether this is a known bug or provide a solution?Thank you.

I am rendering multichannel EXRs out of Vray for Maya. I’m bringing footage in with Alpha ignored for comping. Alpha is then extracted separately to be applied to layered comp.  I need to composite an optical effects “Glare” render layer using Add over the top of the RGB back to beauty layer stack. Clipping the layer stack works either by applying the Alpha as a Stencil Alpha, or as a direct matte on each layer, resulting in transparency as expected. Adding the Glare above the Alpha layer, unmatted, should retain these transparent areas, adding only the non-black pixels. It does not, the black areas of the Glare layer remain 100 percent opaque. I’ve tried a variety of different solutions, rebuilt the comp, brought the Glare layer into the comp both precomped and not, and tried various different ways of using the Alpha below the Glare layer. Nothing works. The Add calculation is simply not working properly.

I have assigned the profile to REC 709 Gamma 2.4, but the Metadata of this is missing when exported as a MP4 on a PC.

Since updating to the new Adobe 2026 release, interacting with the "Color Profile Converter" effect causes the application to crash instantly to the desktop without any error message or warning. I cannot apply the "Color Profile Converter" to any new layers. Worse, I cannot open ANY existing projects that already have this effect applied. The program instantly crashes upon loading the project. Steps to Reproduce: Scenario A (New Project): Open Adobe 2026. Create a new composition and add any layer (solid, footage, etc.). Apply the "Color Profile Converter" effect to the layer. Result: Instant crash to desktop. Scenario B (Existing Project): Try to open an existing project file that contains the "Color Profile Converter" effect. Result: The software crashes instantly during the project loading phase. My System Specifications: Adobe Version: Adobe 2026 (v26.3.0) Operating System: Windows 11 (25H2) Processor (CPU): i7 - 12700 RAM: 64GB Graphics Card (GPU): 4070 SUPER (la

So for context I was fixing some things in a somewhat recent project, I was met with the "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {no current context}". I tried everything that was recommended, clearing cache, resetting preferences, starting in safe mode, nothing worked, the timeline had nothing loading, only when hovered on. I decided to check other projects and all of them are having the same problem, the message doesn't show up but the timeline is non-existent, when I try to play the video there's no preview, audio plays for a while if there is any, but after that the program crashes and the only thing I can do is send a crash report.I did check if it could be a potential problem with my external drive, but projects inside my internal SSD with internal footage had the same problem. I recorded a small video of the timeline problem in real time.I use a 2024 M4 Macbook with 16GB of RAM

Hello. So I've been using after effects for about 4 months and had no issues while using it. But now, after about 2 minutes of opening it, it says if i want to save or don't save my file. I find this confusing because I didn't even close the window it shuts down by itself. I've even tried re-installing the plugins, clearing my memory and disk cache and now I'm looking at updating or re-installing after effects. I'm using After Effects 2025.0. My specs are 16GB of RAM, an AMD Radeon graphics card. If you can respond back with a solution that will be great.

Summary:After Effects crashes (process terminates immediately, no dialog) when interacting with the CC Particle World effect's spatial parameters — specifically when manually editing a Point control (e.g. Producer Point) or when adding/editing an expression on any parameter of this effect. Other similar particle effects (CC Particle Systems II, Trapcode Particular, Trapcode Stardust) do not reproduce this issue under identical actions.Steps to reproduce:Create a new composition, add a solid layer. Apply Effect → Simulation → CC Particle World. In Effect Controls, expand the effect's Producer Point (or any Point-type parameter). Either: (a) manually adjust/enter values for the point, or (b) right-click the parameter → Add Expression, and type any expression (e.g. value). After Effects crashes immediately.Expected result: Parameter updates normally, or expression is applied without issue.Actual result: Application terminates immediately (no error dialog shown to the user).Windows Event V

When selecting a large number of keyframes in the Timeline using marquee selection, the After Effects UI becomes progressively slower as the number of selected keyframes increases.This is especially noticeable when repeatedly adding more keyframes to the current selection.Steps to reproduce Create a composition with a large number of keyframes across one or more properties/layers. In the Timeline, use marquee selection to select some of the keyframes. Keep adding more keyframes to the selection using additional marquee selections. Observe the Timeline UI responsiveness as the number of selected keyframes increases. Actual resultThe Timeline gradually becomes less responsive as more keyframes are selected.In my case, the slowdown starts becoming clearly noticeable at around 100 selected keyframes. As the selection grows further, marquee selection and other Timeline interactions become increasingly sluggish.The important point is that this does not appear to be caused simply by hav

AE is unusable. All solutions online are not working. What is going on?I have hardly been pushing the program to it’s limits and it pretty useless right now.Cache size is 100GB. It has been cleared. Bin emptied. Comp restarted. AE updated. Purged all memory and dish cache.
