Bug Reports

 Hi, I’m using a business plan for work purposes.I’m trying to use Cinema 4D, the plugin additionally provided with After Effects, but it doesn’t run even after installation — the error window below keeps appearing.I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled it dozens of times.Please I really need a solution for this issue.My computer is an Apple M1 Pro.

Howdy. I'm running a MacBook Pro 15, M4 with 48gb Ram, running Sequoia 15.7.1. Using the latest version of AE. I've had a project file stop loading randomly and will not load past 94% and AE stops respondng. I get no indication as to an error message or if a file is not working. I sent this file to another user and file can be opened on their machine but not on the original machine. I have just rebuilt the project again yesterday only for it to happen again this morning after I finished it. When I opened the Premiere project to render the beds the screens were blank so I opened AE to check and low and behold the same issue occured again. The first time it happened I re-installed AE, disabled all plugins and in safe mode, I have cleared the cache, I have doubled it's allocated ram from 12mb to 24mb and I've tried to open it in another new project to no avail. It's only this project though. I can open other projects so far no problem. I am running the 'Parallax' Plugin Script in thi

It looks like using the RED importer with MFR ends up using all RAM available. This is AE 2025.5 on Windows with 32GB RAM although it seems to happen on systems with more memory and longer clips as well. Create a comp containing RED footage (8K is a good test)Turn on MFRNote setting for RAM reserved for other applicationsAdd comp to render queue and render in AESystem RAM will reach 100% and system will slow down due to swapping. This is not occur with MFR off. Increasing RAM reserved for other applications doesn't help. Switching to Software Only doesn't change anything. This does not seem to occur with other importers, e.g MP4 files. Increasing RAM servered for other 

I have been having issues with my graphics. Problems that have manifested include the composition panel appearing black in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, pattern preview not showing in Photoshop, and Photoshop crashing when I use the liquify filter on RGB mode (on CMYK, it says "Liquify is capable of utilizing the graphics processor on RGB files to increase preformance. The color mode you have chosen will not utilize the graphics processor" and works just fine). Right now, I am most concerned about fixing the black composition screen in After Effects, but fixing this will likely resolve the other issues. These things have never worked before, so it is not a case that they have suddenly stopped working. I would like to learn After Effects, but not being able to see the video is obviously a roadblock (I did make sure content was on the timeline). I have previously reached out to Adobe and NVIDIA support, but neither of them were able to fix the issue. I wanted to try asking the com

Something that has started bugging me a lot is that I noticed that moving audio files removes your cached preview data. It seems like they are consolidated into single cache files? This makes it really painful to edit audio timing because every time you move it you need to rerender the composition.   Please make audio independent of video preview data so we do not have this issue.

Hi there, I can't click on Hue Saturation's Channel Range diagramm. I can adjust it only after I added the effect on the layer. But when I back to it to make some twicks the Channel Range became unclicable. I can't change anything anymore. The only way is to delet the effect and add the new one and make adjustments from scratch. Any way to fix that without downgrade or beta? I have an active project and a lot of plugins and scripts installed and can't lose time to set up everything again. Thanks AE 25.5.0 Build 4Windows 11

when I replace the file, it is deleted, it can only be replaced as an png image.

Hello,I am experiencing performance issues with Adobe After Effects everyday. AE is lagging significantly during use and while rendering, even when I am working in quarter resolution. Additionally, AE frequently crashes specially while rendering. System SpecificationsGPU: RTX 5070 TiRAM: 192 GB (yes 192GB)CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950XOS: Windows 11 ProStorage: 2x 2TB SSD NVMe + 2x 250GB SSD SATAThis issues with After Effects on my high-end PC that are impacting my ability to meet project deadlines. I recently upgraded from a MacBook Pro M3 to this high-end PC specifically to improve my After Effects workflow. However, I'm experiencing severe performance issues (even worse than on MacBook) that are impacting my ability to meet project deadlines.Rendering FailuresWhen attempting to render a medium-complexity 1.5-minute project, I have a 5070 Ti. AE freezes for about 2-5 min and i need to RESTART the pc or disconnect the session to clos

Hey, something weird that is worth saying happened today at work.Working on a project with a team, and one 3D layer wasn't centered properly when I opened the main project on my AE. (25.1).I upgraded to the latest AE 25.5, and I could see the layer at the correct spot as it was supposed to be. Any info on what is causing that ? (4K comp with a camera in Classic 3D, layer in question was a 3D text layer). Thanks!

Dear Adobe After Effects Team,I am writing to report a persistent and long-standing bug in After Effects (on Windows) concerning the Render Queue's Output Module presets.The Problem: When I create and save an Output Module preset for an OpenEXR sequence with the Channels set to "RGB + Alpha", the checkbox for "Use Comp Frame Number" does not save correctly.Although I check this box and save the preset, after I close and restart After Effects, the preset reverts to having this option unchecked.Key Detail: This bug appears to be specifically tied to the "RGB + Alpha" setting. If I save the exact same preset but with Channels set to "RGB" only, the "Use Comp Frame Number" setting saves perfectly and persists after restarting the application.Steps to Reproduce:Open After Effects (on Windows).Add any composition to the Render Queue.Click on the Output Module preset name (e.g., "Lossless").Set the Format to OpenEXR.In Format Options..., set Channels to RGB + Alpha. Click OK.Check the Use Com

After effects error while saving project file in external ssdAe: 2024getting this error (img), while trying so save the project file in external ssdPlz help, ask for any details

After Effects ignores any changes a plugin makes to a parameter’s value during certain commands, if the parameter in question happens to be hidden in the UI by virtue of having its AEGP_DynStreamFlag_HIDDEN flag set. This bug poses a rather big problem for many of our products, since users are never guaranteed that applying one of the built-in presets will succeed. This should be clear by following the Steps to reproduce below. Steps to reproduce:- Install the most recent version of FxFactory from our website: https://fxfactory.com/download/  - Download the FxFactory plugin available through this link: https://files.fxfactory.com/beta/aegpdynstreamflaghidden-1.0.0.zip - Once the download is complete, unzip the file and double-click it to have the "AEGP_DynStreamFlag_HIDDEN" plugin be ready for testing in After Effects. The product will be visible in FxFactory as such:- Launch After Effects- Open an exising Comp, and apply the "AEGP_DynStreamFlag_

hey, i just got the 7 day test for AE, but its always crashing when im trying to open the app. im on windows 10, rtx1060. other specs i dont rlly know but they should be good enough to run AE.  On windows safe mode, it said: after effects error. crash during processing, last logged message: <19192> <DS> <0> GPUSniffer() encountered total GPU failure.also before it said some plugin was the problem but i believe i fixed it by deleting it. In february this year i tried (or wanted to) try premiere pro, back then i remember it having similar problems and crashing when trying to open. I really need help quick, thanks. 

Current Behaviour:Clicking a Tab in the Timeline Window Sticks to the mouse as if Dragging is occurring Expected Behaviour:Release tab after click (unless actually dragging) This bug used to happen, at least ten years ago on lower performing hardware, which I do not have.I have 4TB of PCIE5 cache available and 256GB of 5600DDR5 RAM and 16GB of VRAM availableThe system did not exhibit this behaviour until:- latest 25.5 update- Added C4D files to comps (Advanced 3d renderer) Suspect it is 3D related as I have comps with C4d files in.(on a side not, position should be automatically locked on cineware files, but I can stick that in another post!) Asus wrx90 / TRPro7965 / Inno3d 5080 - latest Studio Drivers(58.157)/256 5600 supported RAM (XMP boosted)/ T705 1TB OS / T700 4TB cache / T700 4TB Storage  You should be able to check previous records for how this error was fixed in the past.Could also be high display settings as I am at 125% on 27" UHD screen

Hello!I'm HenryThe thing is, this morning when I opened the file, there was a warning that rotobrush had some error that I don't know about, and when I opened the same file, it was normal. I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Hey!So I have a problem with Advanced 3D. Every time I enable it or open model files my After Effects crashes. "After Effects can't continue: Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception."I tried it on 2024 version and 2025, both crash.Tried .gltf .obj .mtl .fbx .glb formats. It doesn't make a difference.Tried everything I could find on the internet but nothing worked. I also tried using Cinema 3D instead of Advanced but when I upload the models it automatically stwitches to Advanced 3D.I have a pretty high end PC - 4060 TI, Ryzen 7 5700X3D and my drivers are up to date.Please help.

Pretty sure camera lens blur is completely boned in ae25.  Was using this effect religiously in ae23 and render times were fine in ae25 it takes 3 hours to render 6 frames of this effect.  

I have a comp.if I change the frame rate After Effects Crashes(it has a set of expression to creat a grid from shape layers)25 year AE veteran - daily professional use. It is a bug!Crash also happens if using RD Compsetter to change comp frame rate Latest Windows 24h2: 26100.6899Latest After Effects 25.5 (build 4)Nvidia 5080 latest Studio driversThreadriper Pro 7965256 GB 5600RAMCrucial T700 OS/CACHE/STORAGE (one for each)

After Effects will play/preview my animation clearly But, as can see in second picture, it doesn't export properly.  I have cleaned out my cache, made sure all my graphics drivers were updated, and reinstalled the Video Copilot Saber effect, but this keeps happening.  Any ideas?

The simplest example is this:alert(" \u00A0");I’ve confirmed that the following characters cause the error:\u00A0, \u180E, \u2001–\u200D, \u205FHowever, it seems that there are several other Unicode characters that also trigger this issue.I would like to request a fix for this bug.

Hi everyone,I've discovered a serious regression bug in After Effects 2025 (including the latest updates) affecting users who work with Cyrillic (Russian) or potentially other non-Latin characters.The Dropdown Menu Control expression effect is failing to handle Cyrillic text in its menu items: any Russian text entered is immediately replaced with question marks (????).Key Details:Affected Control: Dropdown Menu Control only. Other expression controls (like Slider Control) are fine.Version Status: This issue did not occur in After Effects 2024—it's a regression in AE 2025.Platform Independent: The bug is reproducible on both Windows and macOS (M4), confirming it's an internal application issue, not an OS setting problem.Workaround: The only way to use this control with Russian text is to rely on the numeric index (value) in expressions instead of the text string, and use a switch statement or array to map the number to the correct Cyrillic string.Please submit a bug report to Adobe usin

Hi all I did a fresh install of After Effects via Creative Cloud, and I am getting the startup error:After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {Unable to acquire ASCII-style name} It was doing this before upgrading to the most recent version, and did it again even after an install. I click okay, and it still opens AE, but it's a very annoying way to start using the program. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm attempting to add a motion blur to a graphic and experiencing an issue where the blur never "disappears" when an animation/motion is completed (see image below):The issue is appearing both in the comp preview and final renders/exports, and started after I updated AE to 25.1. The blur immediately appears on any graphic when it's applied, regardless of whether I have an animation/position keyframed or not. I've deleted my cache, removed all plugins and reinstalled AE to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this?

1. Bring in SVG data from Figma via Toothpaste script2. Select top shape group and use the ungroup command3. wait for up to 10 min for After Effects to "ungroup" the shapes.  I have no idea why this is taking this long, even on simple shape groups. Dragging the shapes out of the group also takes forever.
