Bug Reports

Hi,I have a new problem. I'm using Adobe dynamic link in Premiere quite often, and it almost always works just fine. Today, I used it just as always, and suddenly, the imported footage into AE got really overexposed. I tried to import the same footage directly to AE (without Premiere), and I had the same problem. It is not possible to work with it. Even when I tried to dial it down with Lumetri color, it didn't work. Those whites behave like they are just blown out. But they are not as you can see at screenshots. It is footage from A7IV in Slog3 (it does the same with LUTs on it).

I think I found a bug; here's an AI assisted report:Bug Report: UI Fails to Display Correct Values for Expressions Combining posterizeTime(0) and sampleImage()Product: Adobe After Effects  Version: 25.3.1  Operating System: Windows 10SummaryWhen an expression utilizes posterizeTime(0) in a chain that includes the sampleImage() function, the After Effects user interface (UI) fails to display the correct calculated value for the affected property. Instead, it shows a "default" value (e.g., black for a color swatch, or 0 for a scalar property like Opacity). Critically, the underlying render engine correctly calculates and uses the accurate value, ensuring that the final render is correct. This bug is exclusively a UI display issue. This can be verified by displaying the property's real-time value on a text layer, which consistently shows the correct data despite the erroneous UI display.Steps to ReproduceBase Setup:Create a new composition.Create a solid layer (e.

In After Effects Beta 26 on Windows 11, when I use a protected region marker and scroll the timeline, the left side takes the color of the first protected region marker. It disappears weirdly when I hover my mouse.The behavior starts when I scroll the timeline to the right, where the layers or timeline go behind the left panel or layer properties panel. At that moment, the panel takes the first marker/protected region label color, and hovering my mouse over it makes the color vanish at that spot.I can also draw on it in circles to try to remove it faster, but it behaves inconsistently. 

Hi! I have this error come up when using AE 25.5. It's been days and I've been through the basics of troubleshooting to no avail. When I go open up the software, the splash screen doesnt pop up. Instead a series of pop up messages come up. When following the prompts of these pop ups all windows close and the application doesnt open. I'm not trying to open a file. Im trying to start a clean project, but even then I am unable to get past these messages. System Details:Windows 10 (build 19045)Nvidia Gforce 1660 OC (ver 581.57)Ryzen 5 3600After Effects ver 25.5Adobe Creative Cloud 6.8.0.821 Steps already takenUnisntalled Creative Cloud and After EffectsManually deleted foldersCleared RegistryRemoved third party pluginsReinstalled After Effects and Creative Cloudtried starting on safe mode (ctrl+alt+shift- no difference)Reset preferences (no difference)Updated my drivers These are the windows that pop up upon trying to launch AE All the options on the first prompt window

Hello,I'm experiencing a consistent crash when using 3D models in After Effects. Below is a detailed log of the troubleshooting steps I took with an AI assistant to try and solve this. I am posting the AI-generated text directly. I'm posting this here hoping to find a solution. 1. Post Title Advanced 3D crashes (even after clean reinstall) - NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop 2.

I'm having an issue with AE where it clips my white values when I put any effect (exposure, hue/sat, etc) on my layers. Even negative exposure of -.01 will suddently clip the whites. It's like it turns it into 8bit instead of its native 32.Project color settings are OCIO Aces 1.3/32 bit / working linear ACEScg.,Sequence is a 32bit ACEScg exr, interpreted as ACEScg,viewport display is set to sRGB Display/ACES 1.0 - SDR Video (tried others too). Also tried None and have been  using the OCIO display transform on an adjustment layer.Raw Sequences look great, but when I put an effect (like exposure) on some sequences directly, I notice whites get capped with barely any adjustment, even negative adjustment of exposure.Weird: I can buffer the entire animation with capped (wrong looking) whites, and in the OCIO Display Transform effect, if I hit 'reset' it will 'fix' the entire sequence once. So it looks perfect. If I adjust a single thing, it re-caps all whites. Hitting reset again fixes

Summary of the problem: When a layer has the Mesh Warp effect applied, using arrow keys moves individual mesh points instead of moving the entire layer, even when the effect is not actively selected in the Effect Controls panel. This overrides the expected default behavior of arrow keys moving the entire layer.Steps to reproduce:Create or select any layer in the timelineApply Effect > Distort > Mesh Warp to the layerClick to select the layer in the timeline (not in the Effect Controls)Press any arrow key (up, down, left, right) on the keyboardWhat should have happened: The entire layer should move 1 pixel in the direction of the arrow key pressed (or 10 pixels with Shift held), which is the standard behavior for selected layers in After Effects.What actually happened: Individual mesh warp points move instead of the entire layer, making it impossible to use arrow keys for precise layer positioning once Mesh Warp is applied.Additional information: This happens regardless of whether

When I open After Effects, I get this message:“Please connect to the internet as soon as possible so the license can be activated (101). The license must be activated online within 2 days or it will become invalid.”This has been happening since yesterday. I’ve already reinstalled the app, signed out and back into my Adobe account, but the message keeps appearing no matter what. I’m really worried because I have important projects to work on in the next few days, and it would be a huge problem if After Effects suddenly stopped working even though my license is valid.I’ve followed all the troubleshooting steps mentioned in another thread, but nothing seems to fix it. I’m getting desperate. Thanks in advance.

CRITICAL BUG in AE 25.5.0 (on OSX) ; rendering of text - placement error - version inconsistency. MAJOR FLAW!Steps to recreate;1. IN AE 2023, AE2024, or AE 2025.2.2 ; Create a TEXT layer which is either CENTER or RIGHT justified. 2. ALIGN that layer to a guide or another object. 3. Open the same AEP file in AE 2025.5.04. Take note of the alignment.(system info at bottom of post)This is a major bug and makes AE 2025.5.0 unreliable for BASIC PRODUCTION TASKS and unsuitable for PROFESSIONAL WORK.See attached images ; NOTE image 4 which shows AE 2025.5.0 with the SAME EXACT FILE, TEXT, and LAYOUT, but in a different, inconsistent layout from all other versions of AE. System info; Apple M1 Ultra, 128 GB, OSX 15.6.1 (24G90) Chipset Model: Apple M1 Ultra  Type: GPU  Bus: Built-In  Total Number of Cores: 64  Vendor: Apple (0x106b)  Metal Support: Metal 3  Displays:DELL S2721QS:  Resolution: 5120 x 2880 (5K/UHD+ - Ultra

adobe premiere premium replace with after effects composition, and then the footage turn black turn black.when I check in adobe after effect there is no footage. how to fix it?

Been using AE 2024 and eventually earlier versions of 2025 for a long running project. We've been using EXR renders from Unreal Engine and using eXtractor and cryptomattes. It's all been fine until the latest After Effects updates where using EXRs became basically unusable. It takes forever for AE to show any EXR frames, trying to preview anything is a nightmare, and trying to render an EXR sequence takes incredibly long. Ae has been great up until these last few updates and is now basically completely useless with EXRsI have 2 desktop PCs, both run Win11. (yes, Windows and GPU drivers etc are all up to date.)One has an AMD 5800x CPU + RTX3080 tiThe other Intel i7 9700k CPU + RTX3080For both desktops, the projects and files are one one nvMe SSD and all AE caching is to another nvMe SSDAfter Effects now absolutely sucks on both systemsAny advice to get After Effects back to a usable state with EXRs would be appreciated

Hi everyone,I’m running into a Dynamic Link issue between Premiere Pro and After Effects. In Premiere, I select a single clip in the timeline and choose “Replace with After Effects Composition.” After Effects opens, asks me to save a new .aep, creates a new composition—but the composition is empty. The selected Premiere clip does not appear inside the comp. Back in Premiere, the timeline item links to that AE comp, but since it’s empty, there’s no media.I’ve tried to make sure I’m selecting a normal video clip (not an adjustment layer or an empty track). In some cases it might be nested or multicam. I verified the clip has real duration, tested in a fresh project where it sometimes works, cleared media caches in both apps, killed the Adobe Dynamic Link Manager process and rebooted, saved the .aep to a simple local path, disabled hardware acceleration temporarily, turned proxies off, removed effects from the clip, and confirmed that both Premiere Pro and After Effects are on the same ma

I need help fixing this ASAP...I cannot open the software. Every time I reboot it, it crashes on the crash repair options screen. I've uninstalled and re-installed, deleted all preferences, I don't know what else to do. I gotta do some work 😕😕Last log message:Attention to this matter will be very appreciated as this is kind of an emergency.

Der Export von Essential Graphics in After Effects funktioniert nicht.  Wenn ich eine Vorlage exportiere, erscheint eine MORGT-Datei mit 2 oder 3 KB. Beim hineinziehen in Premiere erscheint dann der Fehler: "Media Pending" Ich habe nur eine Form- und Textebene, welche mit einem Null-Objekt an der Position geändert wird. 

Issue - When I animate the "amount" property for turbulent displace, when the effect is applied to a layer, the layer snaps to a transformed (literally position and scale) state exactly when the interpolation finishes. Steps to reproduce -  Apply Turbulent displace to a layer in a comp that is readied to be exported as a MOGRT from essential graphics. Animate the "amount". This happened for any values I tried, but lately I've been trying from 50 to 0 over about 1 second. Easing didn't seem to change anything. Export the comp as a MOGRT Place the MOGRT in a timeline in Premeire Pro v25. The CTI won't reproduce the error, but when you scrub, play in the timeline, render the clip, or export media, the glitch will occur. Expected result - A nice, wavy effect.Actual result - The layer will fly off into an unpredictable transform change. It will sometimes shift over, and sometimes disappear (I assume just out of view).Adobe Aft

[Note: I know they just announced that 25.2 is available for download, but Creative Cloud just gave me 25.3, so I'm not really sure what's going on (and maybe I'm not the only one)] Version: 25.3.0 (Build 71)Platform: Windows 11 Steps to reproduce: Hold mouse over composition window, hold down Alt and turn scroll wheelExpected result: Composition window zooms centred on mouse cursor locationActual result: Composition window zooms centred on centre of window For the 3-4 years I've been using AE, I've been holding down Alt and scrolling my mouse wheel in order to zoom toward whatever my mouse cursor is hovering over, both in the Composition window and in the Timeline. But after I updated to 25.3 yesterday, in the Composition window, Alt+Wheel now zooms in and out on the centre of the window and the Wheel without a keyboard modifier zooms in and out at the cursor point (which I only discovered by experimentation).But the Timeline zoom control hasn't changed: it still u

In many cases, the debugger comes up with a line number that does not exist. (e.g. an error on line 71, while the expression consists of 69 lines). It's hard to say when exactly this problem shows up, but it occurs a lot, so I guess more users have experienced this behaviour.

Due to some technical problem i had to delete the creative cloud and all adobe apps like after effects and photoshop.And when i reinstall them, i found that extenion tab is greyed out, how to fix that Please help !!!

Hi, I'm using AE on a PC. When I use Roto Brush 3.0 and mask a person with say a white background the mask only lasts for 2 frames before selecting the whole screen. When I change the selection to Roto Brush 2.0, it renders properly. I've tried multiple videos. I've tried reinstalling. But I still get this issue which means I can't use roto brush 3.0.  Are there any suggestions to fix this? Thanks,  Dom

Hey team, This has been bugging me for a long time - when you right click in premiere > make after effects composition, the playhead inside of that comp will eventually stop moving. It might not be on the first playback, or the third, but after swapping back to premiere and back to AE a few times, eventually the playhead just ceases to exist. The only way to fix it is to shut down After Effects and reopen the project again, but then as soon as you link another comp from premiere to AE, it happens again and then you need to shut down and restart again. Quite annoying, hopefully this gives you enough information to reproduce it! AE version 25.5Windows 11 OS - Learn How to Edit Stuff
