Bug Reports

Hi, i was doing a edit and in one single clip i get this everytime can i fix this or not? Because when i try to export the file i get the same error everytime on the same clip. On the clip there is only a shake and a zoom in and out.

We faced a persistent issue in our recent project that involved several extension panels. Closing one extension panel window occasionally caused the content in another active extension panel to vanish.(Ref: https://youtu.be/8icV1-ORiLU )We investigated this issue and found that it is exclusive to Windows . After spending several hours of debugging, we found out the pattern. The issue applies to all the extensions that exist. Closing an earlier opened extension panel causes the content in the most recently opened panel to vanish. We confirmed this bug persists across several After Effects versions (from 2019 to 2024) on Windows 10.(Ref: https://youtu.be/c-c1G9ALV0E) To replicate this issue, follow these steps:Open one extension panel (A).Open another panel (B).Close panel A.Notice the content in panel B disappears Our project relies heavily on using multiple panels, and this bug could frustrate users. Hope you can find a solution for this. 

Hello,After Effects stops working on certain files, as you can see in the attached video. There is no progress in the preview section, even though I move forward in the timeline. Additionally, the save screen that appears when I close the file stays on top of all windows, and it doesn’t go to the background even when I open other applications or finders.To troubleshoot, I unchecked the "Enable Hardware Accelerated Decoding" option in the Import section, but the issue persists. There are multiple .mov files in the project I am working on. I have also completely uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects three or four times, removing all plugins.I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

When working on a Windows 11 Enterprise platform on a Dell Precision 7680 13th Gen core i9-13950HX, 2200 Mhz, 24 core, 64 GB RAM with an RTX 5000 Ada, After Effects hangs up when importing a layered .ai file as a comp in versions 24.6 and above. In version 24.5 it works, and on a Mac Book Pro (m1 chip 2019) the latest version (25.1) it works as well.My process:1. Open a new project in AE2. Choose File--Import--file3. Select my layered .ai Illustrator file (latest version) and for when Import kind I select composition and keep defaut Document size.4. AE continues to show the spinning wheel and won't open the file on versions later than 24.6. Normally, AE is able to import a layered .ai file as a comp.I have no 3rd party plug-ins, and do not install with Cinema 4D capabilities since I do not sue the program.

Why is After Effects doing this? I've got the proportions sorted in the way I want them on the image on the right and it all looks fine until I export the animation: However, this is the result once it's exported:  The image has gone really thin and weirdly proportioned.  

Hi everyone.I have a problem with After Effect,  it gave me a problem while i editing, Cause it Glitch the preview and also the Render. The problem is Always in the first 10 second of the video. I Don't Know how to fix that and i'm hoping that someone can help me

Issue: I don't use the home screen typically , but when it appears (e.g. I need to start in safe mode), it's massive, starting at monitor 2 (middle) and extending beyond monitor 3 (right).  Fix: Have it constrain itself to the "main" monitor, only.

The new way that AE 2025 handles the video files when you create a dynamic link from Premiere Pro is not useful for several applications, like motion tracking and rotoscoping in AE. For example, to use motion tracking you have to be working in the layer for the video footage (not the main composition).  The problem with AE 20245 is that the dynamic link creates a composition that doesn't have the video footage you want to work with already nicely trimmed.  Instead the dynamic link creates a compostion with the video footage inside of another composition, and that composition has the ENTIRE video file.  This is causing me problems for 2 reasons:  1. If the video file is 5 minutes long and I only want to motion track 5 seconds of it, I don't need or want the full video file.  I want the 5 seconds of it I trimmed in Premiere Pro to be imported to AE with that footage trimmed the same way, and nicely placed on it's own layer.2. If you want to motion

Hi guys,I’m experiencing an issue with the After Effects 3D camera and was wondering if anyone has a solution to the problem below. Essentially, whenever I select any object in any project, the 3D layer controls appear huge. Does anyone have a workaround for this?Thanks in advance!

I've been using aerender on my 2020 Mac Mini M1 for the past year and it's been working flawlessly, but with the latest update I've been unable to even start the program. First I input the following command as usualcd /Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 2025 ./aerender -project /Users/username/Desktop/ProjectTitle.aep -mfr "ON" 100 -sound "ON" This results in Terminal returning following without acually rendering anythingaerender version 25.1x68 PROGRESS: Launching After Effects... username@Mac-mini-2 Adobe After Effects 2025 %  Is anyone else having this issue and knows a workaround I would be grateful!

Issue: When rolling mouse pointer over the "Active Camera" or similar buttons at the bottom right of the Comp window, the Tool tip (e.g. "3D popup View") pops up and flickers endlessly until the mouse is moved. Resolved by: This flickering stops when the mouse is moved. Likely fix: Don't have the popup appear under the mouse pointer. It's probably the classic 'retriggering' issue because the popup is appearing under the mouse, hence being re-triggered endlessly.

objファイルを使用していたAeファイルが先日までは正しく動作していたのですが日をまたいでAeを開くと下記の画像が表示され、Aeの操作がすべてできなくなりました。objファイルを使用しないAeファイルは問題なく正常に動作することができました。改善策があれば教えてほしいです。

After Effects 25.0.1 (Build 2).  HUGE INTERLACE BUG.  Adobe please fix. NTSC footage - when changing intrepretation from UPPER or LOWER FIELD or vice-versa, AFX still does not honor changes when reversing the interlace, as After Effects has always done.  Emptying the disk cache does not help.  I must save the project with the interlace interpretation change, quit After Effects, and when reopening the project fresh, only then is the interlace interpretation change executed. Big and quite annoying problem, as I'm constantly fighting to set the proper field order, and I'm used to After Effects immediately honoring and displaying the interlace change as always in the past.

Everytime I use After Effects it keeps on crashing show me an error of (Unable to allocate memory). Even on light task like animating the motion of simple text and image it's giving me an error of not enough memory. This makes it totally unusable since it'll only take 2 - 5 mins for it to show the error, crash and then restart the software.IDK what's causing this issue but I'm using a couple of plugins and it didn't cause these error in the past.Here are the list of  plugins installed* borisfx sapphire* Mister Horse* Deep Glow* Fx Console.Here's my systemWindows 10 Proi9 10850kRtx 4070 ti super64 GB Ram2* 2TB NVME M.2 Samsung 980 pro

Hello,I'm having an issue with a shortcut in After Effects 2024, 2025, and the beta version of 2025. I've been using the application for years and have always relied on shortcuts to speed up my workflow. For some reason, after updating to the latest versions, I can't add or edit shortcuts to move layers in and out in the timeline. I found some forums mentioning that After Effects may no longer support this feature—is that true? If not, why can't I edit such a basic and important keyboard shortcut? Any solutions or ideas? Thank you.In older versions it was very easy to edit and add that short cut, imposible in this one, here the code:["CPanoProjLayer"]"Clear" = "(Delete)(FwdDel)""ClearMask" = "(Alt+Delete)(Alt+FwdDel)""OpenComp" = "(Backslash)""TimeSetIn" = "(I)""TimeSetOut" = "(O)""TimeStretchIn" = "([)""TimeStretchOut" = "(])""TimeTrimIn" = "(Alt+[)""TimeTrimOut" = "(Alt+])"

During playback, the Current time indicator is not moving. It moves a bit and then freezes. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using a new Intel PC with plenty of ram (64 GB). My other PC is an AMD and doesn't have this issue. Is this a known bug? The only solution I've found from others involves reinstalling Windows. I'd prefer to avoid that.

Hi everyone,We've noticed a weird RAM behavior in After Effects 2020 (17.5.1 - Build 47) and Media Encoder (14.0.1 - Build 70). When closing and opening a project multiple times, After Effects’ RAM usage is continuously growing especially when the project contains expressions (even the simplest one). Closing the project and purging memory (and Disk Cache) do not reduce the RAM usage! The only way to make the RAM usage drop seem to be closing After Effects! The same problem exists when sending these projects to Media Encoder. The RAM, used by the After Effects sub process under the Media Encoder main process, continually grows and does not drop even when the rendering process is complete.We already know that expressions can be RAM consuming but the fact the RAM is not freed after the project is closed seems not normal.We tried to reduce the case to the simplest situation and made a benchmark. The details of our benchmark can be found here :https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N

I can replicate this on two Macs (core i9 and M1 Max) running Sequioa 15.2 and AE 25.1. Happens when the Camera RAW dialog either opens or closes. Replicate by importing or adjusting a Cinema DNG sequence in a project. It will freeze either when attempting to open the ACR window or when closing it. It does not occur on my Windows 10 machine. 

Environment:•After Effects Version: Beta 25.2.0 (Build 122)•Operating System: MacOS Sequioa 15.1• Scripting Environment: ExtendScript Description:When attempting to programmatically select hold keyframes via scripting, the After Effects scripting API does not mark these keyframes as selected. This issue persists even when attempting common workarounds such as temporarily converting hold keyframes to linear interpolation, inserting dummy keyframes, or using both methods in combination. As a result, scripts that rely on selecting keyframes (e.g., for batch processing or automated editing tasks) fail to work as expected when hold keyframes are involved. Steps to Reproduce:1. Create a composition and add a layer with a property (e.g., Position) that has keyframes, including a hold keyframe (especially as the last keyframe).2. Run a script that deselects all keyframes and then attempts to select specific keyframes using setSelectedAtKey(index, true).3 .Verify that even after attem

Hey there,I'm having trouble with a font that has gradients in it (color to transparency) that displays correctly in Illustrator, Première, but in After effects it's full white. - I tried removing the font from font book- wiped the font cache in terminal- tried on my other mac with same result It displays correctly in the Character menu though. Is it a bug in after effects ?Photos attached

The range of values in 16bit integer is 65536 but when AE is set to 16bit the values in the inspector only go up to 32768 which is 15bit. Also the Levels effect show this 15bit as max value.   I find it hard to test and verify if files are also written with 15bit precision but regardless, I do not understand the reason why AE shows 15bit inside the software. It's technically wrong.   Can I get some clarity on this?

Since v25, active text edit fields are truncated in the essential graphics panel.1. create text layer2. drag text>source text to the essential graphics panel for mogrt authoring.3. click on the edit field for the source text in the essential graphics panelresult:  As soon as you are editing the text string, only ~14 characters are displayed.  No edit cusor is displayed.Windows 11 pro versio 10.0.26100, After Effects v25.1.0 build 68It's annoying.  Workaround is composing your text string in notepad, then copy/paste.

In v25, whenever the Properties Panel appears, usually when I least want it to, it bogs down my system. It's like a ton of bricks just got loaded onto the back of geriatric AE. 

Ok this is a completely new one for me, and from what I found online, no one has really experienced this same issue. A couple of days ago I was going to start on a new project. I had some existing assets from an old project file I wanted, so I copy and pasted a version of my old project into a new folder. I realized this was not the correct file, so I deleted it, found the correct one I was looking for, and started working on my project from there. Fast forward two days of working later, and I go to open my project, only to find that it's the project file I originally copy and pasted, then deleted, from multiple days ago. It has the same name as what I've been working on the past few days, but all the content is from the afforementioned project. When checking the properties of the file, it says it was last modified September 2024, even though I literally made changes to it and saved less than an hour ago. It's as if my past two days of work just reverted back in time out of thing air.
