Bug Reports

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?

Issue - h264 footage appears to be causing AE to crashAdobe After Effects version number: 25.1Operating system OSX 15.3.2 - Macbook Pro M1 Max, 32GB Steps to reproduce - Import any h264 footage, create a comp with it, scrub footage in comp, works for a little while, then hangsExpected result - Be able to work with h264 footage without need to transcodeActual result -  After Effects crashes Doesn't appear to happen with other codecs. I tried clearing All Cache which doesn't work. Hardware acceleration has been tried on and off with same results. 

Layers randomly disappear from the Timeline window, but the video is still viewable and playable in the Composition window. I need to shut down the Timeline, then reopen it, and the layer reappears. This happens almost daily. I'm on a Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.2 and AE version 25.1.0ChatGPT responded: You're not alone—this issue has been reported by other After Effects users, though it's not extremely common. The problem seems to be a UI glitch where layers remain in the composition but disappear from the timeline panel.

hello, i have rendered to mp4 via both AE render and Media encoder but the files are rendered damaged with black screens. The same files can be renderered lossless to avi without issues. And if i convert those avi files to mp4, the result are damaged files again. I have tried to render another project in mp4 but they are damaged. i have uninstalled and installed AE back but it is still not working.Is there any way i can reset or reinstall the codec for mp4?

When I hit space bar to preview the timeline the visuals play for rounghly 2s before the audio kicks in. The audio remains in sync but there is always a 2s deleay before it starts.This is apparent even on all comps I'm working on and I've even tested it on a blank comp with nothing but an mp3 in it. the play head moves for 2s before the audio catches up.I have also tested this in a workspace that has 0 additional third party panels and the issue is still there.This issue is new to Ae25.I'm working from macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 on an M1 mac.Using After Effects Version 25.0.0 (Build 53)

Reproducible only on macOS Squoia - calling this ExtendScript function:var path = "~/Desktop/Scene01.idm"; var file = new File(path).saveDlg();resulting in a default file name inside the opened file-picker dialog that contains a duplicated extension name: "Scene01.idm.idm" instead of just "Scene01.idm". This only happens on macOS Squoia(the latest major version), and in addition - only for "non-standard" file name extensions(something that's not a "*.json" or "*.txt" for example). Attaching a screenshot for a demonstration of the resulting unwanted behavior.

My issue is that whenever i am working on a project and the color space is set to Sony S-Log3 (any variation) the lumetri colour doesn't seem to transfer when using Dynamic link. I have check and the footage is in the same color space in AE as well. any help? cheers

Estou com problema problema chato no after effects, toda vez que eu vou fazer Stabilize Motion aparece a tela preta por causa do tracker da camera, mas o problema não é esse, é ainda mais complexo. Para resolver a tela preta eu coloco o efeito Motion Tile, só que o mesmo fica apresentando umas linhas pretas no video... Alguém sabe como resolver? Ou não tem solução? Estou usando o After Effects 2020Windows 10 Pro

Hey Team, as u can see the UI where the layer is showing has become purple, when I zoom in or out in the timeline it dissappers or comes back. It can take different colors depending on which color the marker has. In my case it was purple but I had this with yellow, too.Best GreetingsMischel 

Last year, I finally got into the editing world. Things were going so well that I decided to buy a computer powerful enough to work faster, complete more advanced projects, and climb the ladder in the editing world.I bought an i9-14900k + RTX 4090 + 64GB + 1T SSD (one of the best, by the way). To my surprise, since last year (August), since I opened After Effects, I feel like the improvement from my old computer, which is MUCH inferior to the one I have now, is very small.The program lags to the point that it's impossible to work, and this is with just a few effects. They aren't even large compositions or projects. When I apply the first effect to the first text, everything lags.I've tried talking to technical support, I've watched all the YouTube tutorial videos to improve Ae, an Adobe technician was on my computer remotely and couldn't do anything...It's frustrating to have an investment in a good computer like this and not be able to work comfortably. I'm asking if anyone knows a so

Hii, I'm new into AE and I'm having this issue where I edit all of my text layers, change color and font, adjust position, and when I hit save and restart After Effects everything is saved but some of the text is misaligned, has changed color or font or something:(, is there anything I can do?, first image is in the correct position, but layer  "Make" was smaller, different font and color and it said "make it", im slowing down my editing proccess because of this, ¿am I doing something wrong?:(

If a library in the library panel is left open, the lock and sync icons are doubled and flickering really fast. After closing out of After Effects, the icons were still there and somewhat burned into the screen, but they were still flickering. Even with a restart and shut down, the icons remained, but they did appear to be fading. The icons seem to have disappeared completely after about 20 minutes.  The flickering seems to happen when the side panel is scaled/ pushed to the right enough to show the horizontal scrollbar.  Ae 25.1.0 (Build 68)Windows 10
