Bug Reports

AE 25.2 (though i've seen this for awhile)OSX 15.4 When I double click to open a Comp in my timeline, a Footage panel opens up. Even if I close the footage panel, anytime I double check my viewer changes.I run a dual monitor setup but I'm not sure this is the reason.  Is anyone else seeing this? (due to the confidentiality of my work, reach out Adobe and I can share privately a capture)

I honesyly hate coming across silly bugs after an update. brand new project. New comp and create solid and i get this ANNOYING message.  Only once thouhg. I've reset the preferences. Cleared the cache. AGH.Super glad we all pay so much money for this. V 25.2.0 

when i draw straight line holing "shift" with brush tool it adds mutiple action, so when i try to undo takes like 23 updo to remove the stroke. same issue with Clone stamp tool. it's been broken since 2019 update or something like that. please fix.  normal brush stroke is count as one action and i can do one updo to remove stroke. 

My screen keeps flickering every time I like move my mouse and when I preview my edit it flickers like 10 times more and faster, I'm about to have a stroke over here, please help. It's a very uncomfortable bug or whatever it is, I attached 3 videos to this post so you guys can really see how annoying it is.

I've got a precomp w/ a text layer and a rectangular shape layer in it.The source text is an exposed Essential Property.I'm also exposing the size of the rectangle which is driven by expression which adds the sourceRectAtTime of the text to the rectangle size (making a text box).I go into a parent comp and update the source text value in the properties panelafter committing the text everything works (text and rectangle size update in comp viewer) as expected but the value shown for the rectangle size in the properties panel doesn't updateI have to de-select and reselect the layer for it to update.

In the latest 24.2.1, essential property is returning the original text value instead of the esential property override.AE 2023 seem to return the correct (override) value. 

'Paste reversed keyframes' doesn't reverse the easing:

I'm on Windows 11 and I'm subscribed to Creative Cloud. I have the latest versions of CC installed, including AE, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. (no other add-ons installed). I have 64GB of RAM installed with a 12-core processor. My sweet spot for memory is to utilize 40GB for all Adobe programs (leaving 24GB for others I needed to multitask). When I set the 24/40 ratio in After Effects memory settings (which auto sets the same value in my other Adobe programs), I noticed is randomly changes these settings if I close the program and check it again. I've seen it reset itself to everything from 0GB for other programs (with AE taking up all of my RAM), and even randomly setting it to 56GB for Adobe and 6GB for other programs. This setting used to stay fixed after the first time I set it, so not sure why it's sporadically changing. 

Huge bug discovered in version 24.6.0, at least for me. I use text presets I have created that I use all the time. I cannot apply these now in any of my text layers. It appears to apply the preset, but the keyframes are somehow being spread apart all over the place, sometimes hours behind on the layer and completely broken. I even tried copying and pasting the actual Animator from one text later to another and it also breaks. Please fix this pronto! To follow up, I just exported and opened the same project in 23.6.9 and the presets worked fine on the same text layer. I then pushed the latest version of AE back to 24.5, and the same bug occurred although I swear they were working in this version before. I then pushed it back to 24.4.1 and the same bug! Same for 24.4. I then pushed it back to 24.3 and presents are working again? Out of curiosity I just opened the project in Beta 25.0.0 (Build 30) and the presets are broken in there as well! Version 24.6.0Ventura 13.6.9M1 Max Ma

Would be great to have a wider choice than blinding white, neutral gray or super-contrast black. Can we get some happy medium option so the contrast is not so extreme? Can we also fix it so that older Script UI Panels don't get cropped and broken like the image attached? Both cannot be used because it crops the righthand action buttons off. This happens in both the current 25 and in the beta.

I have motion graphics project, where we shows prices of products and price numbers are linked by expressions to controller.In after effects 2023 everythink works well, but I can not switch to new versions, because then displayed prices are mixed and flickering between different numbers every few frames.. It is obvious that this is bug in AE24 / 25. When I resave it from AE23 as xml or AE23 project and open it in AE23, it starts working well again. I can share project for further investigation, if someone want to observe..

Has anyone else had their working custom UI and/or arb params start to flicker in Ae 2025? From what I can gather, it's affected multiple devs work including red giant, rowbyte, irrealix, aesweets and my own. Example UI flicker in trapcode particular The symptoms are intermittent flickering, and if there are multiple custom params modifying one can cause the other to flicker. All these examples are working as expected in Ae 2024.  In my case it is affecting custom UIs drawn with both drawbot and cairo. It is also affecting custom UI params, not just arb params. I've tried:setting / not setting PF_PUI_DONT_ERASE_CONTROLRemoving the update param UI selector Any ideas?

In the GERMAN AE Version, i still can't import 3D models.Like years ago, it says: 3D Model for use with Thrapcode.I have to change the AE language, then it works,but this will break many expressions. And in fact,i am paying for this, so this is not my job.And come on Adobe, it's 2025, this is a rookie coding mistakesomeone should fix after years.Just get your things done!

Hello, I have a medium-end spec PC and yet AfterEffects is super slow even with an empty project, moving just one rectangle drags the image! Working on larger projects becomes impossible. PC specs are as follows:- AMD RX 6600 XT- Ryzen 5 3600- 32gb RAM- 2x 500gb SSD

The line returns inside the Markers Comment are automatically removed, pushing all the contents onto one line. The issue only happens with AE 2025 on Mac OS, not in 2024 or AE Beta.

I have encountered that problems with after effects and could not start the program. If I restart my pc and reopen then it works. But if I close and open it again, it didn't work. Please help!Thanks

This has been happening for a while now, whenever I try to open after effects I get this error message.I have:After Effects 2021macOS Sequoia 15.3.2

Assumed it would get patched with rolling updates since its new hardware but its stuck around for a while.Ae is unable to use the entire die on the big threadrippers, Ive never seen it render on both banks at the same time, complex scenes, simple image sequence re-rendering, cant ever saturate it past what usually looks like below.Puget WRX90 setupW10 Pro build 19045Ae 25.1.0 build 68

Hi,Lately, it's been a real pain working with After Effects. Most of my time is spent restarting my computer because every time I open my project and try to preview it by pressing the spacebar, this happens: I move back by one frame, and the animation doesn't play. I know this is a common bug (the oldest post about this issue is 7 years old).So, as suggested 7 YEARS ago, I changed my audio hardware settings in the preferences. For your information, I'm using my laptop, which only has an SSD plugged in — no headphones, no HDMI monitor, just a basic laptop with an SSD. Perfect. Now, the preview is working, and the animation plays, but wait... there’s no sound!That's odd. Let me run a quick YouTube video to test if the issue is with my project or my hardware, and as expected: no sound from YouTube. The same thing happens with Spotify and anything else that should produce sound.I’ve tried closing and reopening After Effects, reinstalling it, changing my RAM, and disabling every background

In arabic text, when we make stroke it strokes every character, it's fine when we have fill color, because we can make the option "all fills over stroke" but when there's no fill it gets ugly like this, we have to fix it  it should look like this  

Hello Community, After Effects is yet again getting stuck on the Launch/Splash Screen after ''Initializing MediaCore". I'm running AE 2025, but this exact bug has happened with previous versions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AEI have reset prefsstarted in safe modedisabled pluginsI do NOT have norton or any other antivirus installed.It is not a firewall issue.It is not a connection issue. I have gig speed internet I have updated nvidia drivers and I have also tried rolling back nvidia driversI have rolled back to a different version of AE. Nothing works!!! There is no crash log because i have to force quit the app. The only thing that does work is to reformat the machine but that is not a viable option and i am not doing that again.  @Adobe we pay too much money for a creative cloud licesnse for this to keep happening, this is unacceptable! We need a definitive solution for this issue. I see this same issue throughout the community with no clear and

After these images AE Crashes! Any help!?I've tried reinstalling Cinema 4D and that didnt work so I went back to an old restore point but that didn't work either. I reckon it might be something to do with the Files? Also i Checked in the Addons Folder using Adobe App and that didn't work either.  Any help is highly appreciated!   

So I get crazy pixel crash/lagging in a few frames in the whole project. Why does it do this? Ive tried everything but it doesnt work.   Title edited be Mod.

After effects crashes when it does not find a dropbox file, maybe beacuse it has not been made available offline. 2 weeks ago After effects woul let me know that there was missing footage, now it directly crashes and I have to force quitting the app. I have tried everything: reset default setting, cleaning cache, duplicating the files, and the problem continues. No information anywhere and it seem to be an after effects problem. Anyone there to help?
