Bug Reports

Opening the exact same project in version 24.5.0 and 24.3.0 respectively gives a very different result... It looks like the light intensity multiplyer is interpreted totally different, however toning down the lights drastically (/8) still doesn't lead to the same visual result.. Has anyone experienced this discrepancy too? 24.5.0  24.3.0

I have had this problem with After Effects for several months (Only with this program, the others work fine).I hardly use After Effects only for specific things, but every time I start the program, any action I take begins to consume all the allocated Ram memory that I have, (68GB ram)I have to debug the memory and cache every 3 minutes, but it is not enough, and there are moments where the entire PC hangs and the screen goes black, (it only happens with After Effects, it does not happen with other programs or video games )I don't know what to do anymore, I have visited forums and none of them have a concrete answer, I hope someone here can help meI attach photos of the specifications of my computer and the error that I get very often.

When using expressions to specify a layer name on any property of a layer, if the layer name is modified on the timeline, the layer name in the expression will automatically update.However, if the specified layer name is non-English (e.g., Japanese) and is changed to an English name, the expression will update automatically. If changed to a name containing non-English characters, the layer name in the expression will not update automatically, resulting in expression errors.The same situation applies to text layers with non-English names. Even if the name remains unchanged, modifying the text content will still cause expression errors. This issue does not occur with English-named layers when modifying their text content. After effects 2024 24.5 WIn10.

Every time i'm trying to use after effects 24 for my project the screen freezes on a random part of the preview. You can see in the picture here that all the layers are turned off yet it's frozen on the intro, and it always stops me from playing any type of preview. I've restarted AE many times, I've purged cache, change render mode from cuda etc. nothing is working. the edit is mainly a 3D edit using cameras and null layers Specs: Adobe After Effects 24.5I9 11900K RTX 3070TI 32GB RAM2TB SSD 

I'll explain my situation. I want to track a video. To track it, I used 'Track Camera.' In the 'Shot Type' section, I selected 'Fixed Angle of View,' and finally, in 'Solve Method,' I chose 'Typical.'Then I created a solid with the generated points, oriented the solid with a script called 'Orient World' to bring it into Cinema 4D.After completing this step, I exported the project in C4D to add objects and set up the scene, but for some reason, After Effects does not update any changes I make in C4D; it simply doesn't load anything.I tried various new versions (2024 and 2023) of After Effects and it remains the same. The version of Cinema 4D I use is 23.0.1. Thank you very much for your help in advance.Regards ❤️

Hello! I've got myself an issue, been a while since I've needed to use ae but needed it recently... ae alone has nearly been crashing my pc, bit confused.What happened? Had ae on version 24.3 originally.Ae sluggish... bit odd,  Checked in with task manager and my cache drives.Memory peaks at 29,000 + ... oddFigured I'd reconnect to my cache drive (ssd).Cleaned cache drives, moved them around, no change - No change. Updated to version 24.5 - No change.Memory leak or malware? - did a scan, nothing, started googling for results.Found advice, turned off auto cache frames.Unsure what else to do? - Specs below. Windows 10, IntelR CoreTM i7-800k CPU @ 3.70GHz, 6 coreInstalled memory, 32GB, x64 system.Bit frustrating, can't seem to find any other solutions :cthanks - Tex

I am currently working on a slideshow and have about 250 individual photos loaded in my assets bin.  As I use one I'm putting a colour code on it so I don't repeat any individual shots.  Every single time I save my project, all those colour codes are removed.  Can anyone tell me how to stop this? 

I recently tried installing the LottieFiles plugin for After Effects. In the Creative Cloud app, it says the extension is successfully installed, however nothing shows up in Window > Extensions in After Effects. I tried installing via ZXP and the ZXP manager also shows that it's successfully installed, however I'm still not seeing anything in the Extensions menu. Anyone know what's going on?

Hello, I have a question to consult, I use the mouse to select the key frame, I want to get the value of these key frames. I tried it myself, but it kept showing no current context. I wrote that in the first step I get the active item through AEGP_GetActiveItem, in the second step I get the type of the item through AEGP_GetItemType, and in the third step I get the composition through AEGP_GetCompFromItem. In step 4 I get the active layer through AEGP_GetActiveLayer. In the fifth step I get the location attribute stream through AEGP_GetNewLayerStream. In step 6 I get the number of keyframes by AEGP_GetStreamNumKFs, and in step 7 I get each keyframe by iterating >AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue. But when I run in AE, when I use the mouse to select the keyframe execution code to get the value of the keyframe, it shows an error such as no current context.

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, but that didn't fix it. Can anyone help me out?

Hey y'all, I'm really stuck.   This error keeps popping up for me and I have no idea how to solve it. It'll appear as I'm trying to play a sequence with an image in it. I made other sequences with images in them a few hours ago and rhey're all fine. But now when tryong to add anything new, it gives me this error and doesn't go away at all - no matter how many times I hit 'okay'. Any ideas?   Thanks!   Title edited by Mod.  

PLEASE HELP!!Usually when files have been moved, I simply cntrl+h on a file and locate it, then Ae relinks all the other missing files in the same folder or drive. Today this function stopped working and Ae only replaced a single file at a time. I don't know if this is a bug or if something changed with the latest update. This is driving me nuts! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! 

I have no idea what this is but whenever i press ^ (the caret) i get this window? And i don't know how to disable it.

When I add the twixtor effect, my clip just fades out between the middel keyframe and the last one.

I exported the project from premiere pro to after effect. That's how he started to look( 1 screenshot)/ pre compose 1 Only it wasn't Then I selected everything and made a pre-compose(pre-comp 1) and put 2 adjustment layers on top Then I opened pre-comp 1 and wanted to continue working with layers, but none of the superimposed effects were displayed, and if I do a pre-compose of fragments inside pre-comp1 (1 screenshot) and go inside, it shows the entire video track as a whole and not a fragment)как видите здесь, на 4-м скриншоте, в превью есть еще одна картинка, это не видео, поэтому я не могу его показать, но по факту это не фрагмент, который я отправил на прекомпозицию, а весь видеорядИсправление. Я прошу объяснить, что я сделал не так, из-за чего у меня возникли эти 2 проблемы: 1 При предварительной компоновке фрагмента весь видеоряд находится внутри него. 2 При добавлении эффектов эффект не применяется к композиции (я делал это раньше, в других проектах все было нормально).

If I enable video preview to one of my two desktop monitors for any project with any codec and color depth, the display is upside down. It's not a system or driver problem. On Windows 11, lastest release version (but it's done since 2024 beta but never fixed), latest Studio drivers RTX 2080Ti AE 2022: Works as expectedAE 2023: Works as expectedAE 2024: Flipped (all releases)AE current Beta: Flipped. Turning off GPU acceleration fixes problems. I also have BlackMagic Intensity card to external OLED but this does not work in Adobe apps anymore expect pre 2021 releases. Deleting caching and prefs don't do a damn thing nor does reinstalls. Clearly a bug. I expected it to be fixed in the releases but it has not.

I am not very good with technology terms so i apologise on how little detail i can provide however i have recently used After Effects 2020 v17.0 on my computer and it has been running perfectly fine until around 2 days ago. An error came up saying that the audio conforming had failed perhaps due to disk space. After this, around a minute or two later, the application closed completely with no crash notice. After trying to restart the application it would not open and was stuck on 'Initizialising MediaCore' before then crashing again, also with no crash notice. I have not since been able to reopen the application except for one time where it abruptly crashed again before i had the chance to do anything. Ive looked online and tried everything i could see including renaming files, resetting my preferences, removing plug-ins etc yet nothing seems to have worked. I opened the crash log within my files to see the error sayingThe system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this appl

Good afternoon Everything was fine, but after the latest update to After Effects, errors like the inability to convert Unicode characters began to constantly pop up when starting up. Yes, everything worked fine. It also doesn’t work in the “do not show compatibility errors at startup” settings, windows still pop up saying it is impossible to convert Unicode characters... What should I do? Решено: Ошибка After Effects: не удалось преобразовать Unicode cha... - Сообщество Adobe - 11895104  Did not help...

Situation: 1. Artist runs script on mac that creates corner pin data into a text file. 2. Text file has Unix (LF) line break characters3. Notepad on windows 11 now recognizes these. 4. Attempt to copy paste data into AE Layer5. AE refuses to patse becasue it is looking for Windows (CRLF) line breaks. 6. Spend a few hours scratching your head as to why your keyframe data won't paste. 7. Fall down deep rabbit hole  Workarounds:Drag txt file into Chrome and then copy paste from there seems to be the easiest. 

I have a composition that is 2160x3840 and I am trying to render out an .h264 with a VBR target bitrate at 100mbs. When it renders out, the resolution has been changed to 1296x2304 The Render settings are at "Best" quality and "Full" resolution Is this a bug or are my render settings forcing a resolution downgrade for some reason?

I’m on a MacBook Pro 2023Apple m3 pro chip18 gbs RAM (… the minimum rec)1 tb SSD Sonoma 14.5 Basically… I will be working along, auto save will periodically pop up, and then sometimes I’ll see that there hasn’t actually been a save in hours. Other times application memory warning will pop up at almost 110 gbs and the app will stop responding. I close out, clear cache, mess with settings, uninstall, reinstall, nothing seems to solve this frustrating problem. I lost a whole day of progress today, even when I swore it saved earlier. The auto-save folder will say the time of the most recent save, but when I open it there is no save file with a corresponding time of save. It’s just so bizarre I can’t seem to find much on forums about this. I'm not doing anything that i thought was too intensive, besides basic layer compositing.
