Bug Reports

i was making an edit, and while watching the preview, it was completely in sync with the audio and wasn't delayed whatsoever. however, when i render it, it's fine for the first few seconds but then the video delays and no longer matches up with the video. ive never had this happen before when making similar edits. this also only happens to my edits that contain transitions, never simple velocities. ive attatched 2 streamable videos. one is the rendered product and the other is the video of the preview. PLS HELP! https://streamable.com/zdiwi1 https://streamable.com/02uidr 

Hello and Happy Day! So, I was merrily working along when After Effects (25.1.0 Build 68 on a 2023 Mac Studio) gave me an error, saying I was missing the "Tint" plugin. After trying all the usual methods to rectify the situation (running about the room in a panic flapping my arms around in an alarming manner, opening the same file fifteen times in a row hoping that would magically fix things, and experimental cursing) I tried resetting my plugin manager, to no avail. I checked and the plugin DOES exist in my "Adobe After Effects 2025 > Plug-ins > Effects" folder, which confuses me a bit. I tried moving the plugin in the desktop and back into the folder again to reset things but that didn't work. I verified that my Project Settings were set to use "Mercury Software Only." I can't find the effect online anywhere to reinstall just the plugin, so finally I tried uninstalling After Effects and all my plugins altogether and reinstalling the software, but I still get the same error

I have several long ProRes shots that I've broken up into 10-second chunks with shutter encoder, and dropped into sequences so that I can more easily rotobrush. I have been using rotobrush on these sequences for several weeks without issue. But today Rotobrush has started crashing AE on a new sequence. It specifically crashes when another person crosses in front of the person I'm rotobrushing. At several times across the sequence a person crosses, and each time AE crashes with a rotobrush error "unknown exception". The strange thing is, people crossed in front of my subjects in other shots I was working on just a day or two ago, and it never caused any problems. I have reinstalled AE on windows 10, flushed the caches, etc.  My PC has 128 RAM.  I have 3 TBs on an SSD for the cache.

Hi, I am really excited about the new feature that introduces expressions in the text properties - that seems like a true gamechanger in my workflow. I'm talking about the things that are described right here:Edit text styles and text properties using expression controls. (adobe.com) Unfortunately it just doesn't work. AE displays an error when trying to apply the simplest feature like setting the new font trough the expression, like this:text.sourceText.style.setFont("Arial-BoldMT"); When I finish editing the expression (unclick) the error says:After Effects error: A dynamic_cast has failed. I also would like to mention that it worked perfectly even in much more complex expressions in beta release. But using beta version of AE is not a solution for me.

Don't know if this is a bug or not but it's a bespoke font installed to my mac fontbook - I have worked with this font before with no issues - even if I try to click the text layer and switch the font, nothing happens and it switches to Myriad Pro. Bug or me?

Hi everyone,I’m having a persistent issue with Adobe After Effects 2025 where it crashes immediately on launch. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Reinstalled After Effects multiple times.Used Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove all Adobe software and reinstalled.Deleted all third-party plugins I had installed.Checked the "Required" folder for unusual files (found secret.aep and Calder.plugin, which I moved out temporarily, but no luck).Repaired disk permissions and reset folder permissions via Terminal.The last log message I see is:Dernier message du journal:<861812> AppDiPs><5>Required Dir = /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Adobe After Effects 2025.app/Contents/Required I’m not sure what else to try. Has anyone encountered this issue or have suggestions for further troubleshooting?Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!

Hey @AdobeAfter Effects memory allocation errors are killing my workflow—64 GB RAM shouldn’t struggle! Fix your RAM handling or give us better tools to manage it.

i am currently using dynamically linked comps in premiere pro but when i render them in after effects the dynamicly linked comp media goes offline in Premiere pro  ... plz help me know what is happening

Hello! I have a strange issue: I imported a clip to After Effects, interpreted as premultiplied - I have a clean Alpha. Then I revealed that footage in my explorer, dragged it again into my project panel, interpreted as premultiplied, but now I get a black halo. If I copy the interpretation of the first footage and apply it to the second, the black halo disapppears. Are there any hidden settings, that I cant find. Is someone able to help me to do that manually?Thanks in advance!

All of a sudden render items do not appear at all in the Render queue. They do render if I press the Render button but I can't seem change any of the default setting. Old render items also do not appear. I'd render in AME but I don't remember how to render there with Alpha.Tried contacting support but they are slow today 😞25.1 on Windows 11 

There have been other posts about this issue, but I wanted to explain my situation for faster problem solving. When I turn any layer into 3d with the 3d icon, I get this error message and then it crashes. Sometimes it's both or just the second one.  Now usually when I get a a bug I was always able to find something in the discussions, but nothing is working for me. Following are the things that I've tried to resolve the issue. - removing and reinstalling AE- updating graphic driver- starting in safe mode, with or without any 3rd party plugins- starting as admin- trying other versions of AE (24.x or beta)- saving as new file when it crashes and makes you save- purging all memory/ disk cache- disabling the iGPU Here are the specs of my desktop12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700 2.10 GHz128GB(128GB 사용 가능)64비트 운영 체제, x64 기반 프로세서  I don't think RAM or disk cache is the problem. Because after I updated AE to 25 version it was noticably very slow I cleared u

In light mode, yes people use it, the graph editor has vector curves with yellow on white controls. Very hard to see and grab.  Would appreciate more contrast here. TYSM 25.1 build 68. MacOS 15.3

Not sure if this is to be classified as a bug - but it is weird behaviour driving me nuts. When After Effects auto saves, it also jumps to the foreground.So if I am doing something in another app, AE will hide that app and jump to the front if it's time to auto save.Sometimes I am "lucky" and it will just bounce the Dock icon. (Which also interupts my very important web surfing etc) AE 25.1 on Mac OS 15.3 (but it's been like this forever)

Usually, increasing fontSize from a left-edged Anchor Point pushes characters to the right of the layer's Anchor Point. With my set up, I'm seeing the opposite behavior. This makes it impossible to have controlled layouts - very bad thing. 

SYSTEM: M2 ultra mac on OS 15.1.1APP Version: After Effects 25.1 ISSUE: Any dialogue box - opening comp settings or even saving - causes AE to lock up. Boxes will not disappear unless you force quit. Also comp consisting of shape layers and native plug-ins opens but no picture visible. TRIED:  resetting preferences, starting in safe mode, uninstalling plugins.  FIX: downgrade to 25.01.

Hi, been having an issue where most of my panels do not render properly every time on startup. Essential panels like the timeline, tools, composition, and project do not have this issue, but most others do, as well as third party scriptUI panels.It happens to different panels each time, and the only way I am able to get them back is by resetting to default layout and undocking and redocking all of them. This still doesn't work all the time. I have had this problem for a while on After Effects 2024 (currently 24.6.4)I decided to upgrade to the latest version (25.1), and it did fix my issue. I copied over my scripts and plugins and it still works as normal. However I want to use the new cache features in the Beta 25.2, and using that version now has the same issue again. I am having the issue from first startup with no added plugins or scripts, and using the default layout.I have reinstalled multiple times and cleared both:C:\Users\dom\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects (Beta)

I have been trying to use warp stabilizer but it is getting stuck in its initalization stage. and later give message that it failed to connect to dynamic link. please help me solve this issue. cause its not working on any clips. 

I have a composition here of initially 2000p by 2000p images of pink squares, and have thinned them and made them rotate. However, they are folding in weird and unnatural ways. From what I can tell, they also vary depending on the composition frame render size (refer to the change in video scale on the right for all the screenshots. I also think this is NOT a Media Encoder issue and instead is only and After Effects issue because when setting the render quality for the preview to Full, this same thing occurs. What should I do? I clearly don't want the lines to crumple, but I also don't want to make the final render tiny.By the way, I feel I should mention that this is not the first time this has happened. This bug has occured to me many times over a long period of time.1080p render:270p render:

Hi, the attached screenshow shows badly designed interface for importing files into AE. This is on WIndows 11 with dark mode.The blue text is hard to read, the white boxes are there for no reason, some texts are barely visible and elements are unevenly spaced without proper padding/margins.
