Bug Reports

1. Bring in SVG data from Figma via Toothpaste script2. Select top shape group and use the ungroup command3. wait for up to 10 min for After Effects to "ungroup" the shapes.  I have no idea why this is taking this long, even on simple shape groups. Dragging the shapes out of the group also takes forever.  

Creating a new precomp of items with (some) Essential properties is causing AE to crash   Video here   Import an item (testing .aep here) that has some essential properties - import can be via UI or CEP, doesn't matter add this item as a new layer to a new comp select the layer and precomp it using "Leave all attributes in xyz" AE crashes   Observations: seems to be related to Essential Graphics in some way, most likely if the item was created in previous versions of AE removing Essential Graphics from the item fixes the issue and precomp works correctly same issue cross-platform (we've tested 6 computers in 3 locations - Mac and Win) same issue on AE 2024, 2025 and 2025-beta - 2023 works, aep was originally made in AE 2023 very unpredictable - 9/10 results in crash, occassionally goes through without issue tested 30+ variations of the Essential Properties (naming, fonts, types, groups configuration) without replicable success. On this specific item (attached), removi

EDITED textAfter update to 25.4 I have real trouble with rendering simple composition in my project. What was done in seconds, with new version takes tens of minutes.. In the composition are layers with different blend modes, all revealed by animated mask. Cache cleared, restart AE, restart of computer, updates.. all done..The slowdown is really extreme. One frame lasts about minute or more. There are few layers with color burn mode, which takes ages to render ATM..I can post the project.AE25.4 @ Windows 10, 16 core AMD and nVidia 12GB, 128GB RAM. GPU acceleration enabled..

I use After Effects latest version,don't startup app from 16th September.I think latest version is wrong. 

I have encountered a bug in Adobe version 25.4 related to EXR files.When applying effects to EXR files (particularly the Extractor effect) the output becomes glitched. The image appears fragmented and unsmooth, which significantly impacts both the preview and the final render.This issue makes it difficult to work with EXR footage reliably.

Hi, When I preview my comp (usually by pressing the space bar) I can't see the red line that tracks the position on the timeline.I know this has been a regular issue, but I've not seen any suggested fixes that solve the problem.I'm using a blank file, I have a seperate drive for disk cache (which is empty), I've reset my preview options, I've ticked Show overlays and controls...Computer: Mac Mini M1AE version: 25.4.0 (build 86)Through pressing everything I have managed to be able to view the red indicator IF i zoom in or out of the timeline once it is running!This doesn't seen like I should need to do this.Attached two images, one just previewing timeline (no red line), one previewing timeline while zooming in/outAny ideas?Cheers Rob 

This was a very persistent bug that is ENRAGING, as it forces me to check EVERY SINGLE FRAME I export.The issue is that After Effects sometimes imports footage incorrectly, with missing, skipped or glitched frames.  I know it's incorrect, because when I click "reload footage" - the issue goes away (but can pop back up after sometimes). I have now upgraded to absolutely specced Macbook Pro, exported natively from After Effects into a ProRes 422HQ mov, bring it back in - and lo and behold - missing frames that flash black (background) in the middle of playback.  How is this issue not fixed, it's beyond me, as it's been years now.  And let's not get me started on how terrible the audio playback is in AE... that's a whole other unfathomable issue, for a company of this scale to no play back audio properly in a product designed for professionals.But honestly, this dropped / scrambled frame issue is SOOOO IMPORTANT to fix.There's no way you should be forcing users to watch eve

I've been facing this error "direct2d drawbot error" everytime I try to track motion or use roto brush if that makes senseAnd I literally tried every solution on internet I could find but nothing worked, I even uninstalled and also tried older versions it but still same issuePlease I need help as soon as possible

If you resize the composition using the "Crop Comp to Region of Interest" feature in version 17.5.1, there will be a difference in the display between 2D and 3D layers with the same X and Y numbers.It didn't happen in versions prior to 17.1.4.The following reproduction procedure1, Creating a composition2, Create a new layer3, Resize the composition using "Crop Comp to Region of Interest"4, Check the 3D layer.Other than "Crop Comp to Region of Interest", the same phenomenon occurs when resizing with "Composition Settings / Advanced / Anchor" selected other than the center.Also, if you open a project file saved in version 17.5 or later in version 17.1.4 or earlier, the displayed position will change.The workaround I've found is to place the camera layer to restore the display.Thank you.

Hello, I think I found a scripting bug with ScriptUI dropdown lists in After Effects 25.4 and 25.5. When an item is selected from a dropdown list and triggers an onChange function, the code executes, but the dropdown list resets, as if nothing was selected. In After Effects 25.3.2 and before, this works as expected. Here’s how I tested it:To make sure it wasn't complex code causing the issue, I created a simple script with a ScriptUI palette that has two dropdown lists. The left dropdown does nothing when selected. The right dropdown executes an onChange function and shows an alert.When selecting an item from the left dropdown, the new selection holds. When selecting an item from the right dropdown, the alert appears correctly. Clicking “Ok” closes the alert, but it reappears immediately, and the selection in the right dropdown is cleared.I tested the same script in After Effects versions 24.6.8, 25.3.2 and 25.4. It works in 24.6.8 and 25.3.2, but fails in 25.4. It'

I'm using a translator to write this because my English isn't good, so I apologize in advance.The issue is that I've been struggling with this for two weeks now. My After Effects crashes when I press Alt+Tab. The crash happens like this: my mouse freezes, the screen goes black, and then the video card driver resets.I've already tried updating my drivers. I installed the studio driver, tried other ones, older ones, stable versions—nothing helped.I thought my graphics card might be faulty, so I borrowed a different one from a friend. The exact same thing happened.I've even tried reinstalling Windows three times, but the crashes come back after 2-3 days. I've also tried different versions of After Effects and swapped out my plugins. Still, after 2-3 days, the crashes start again.Honestly, I'm not sure if anyone here can help me, but I thought it was worth a shot.I've been using AE for 2-3 years before this without any problems.Thank you for time

Hi all,I’m getting repeatable memory errors in After Effects on two different PCs with the same project (a light 1080p comp). It happens during RAM preview and when running the 3D Camera Tracker.Error dialogs (screenshots attached):“After Effects: 21,820 MB / 132,563 MB of memory could not be allocated … (12803 / Unidentified caller)”“After Effects: Out of memory (23::40)”“Not enough memory for 3D Camera Tracker at frame 0 (25::16)”On one machine we also saw: HuionTabletCore.exe – 0xc0000142 (tablet not connected; driver removed)Once Windows even refused to open taskmgr.exe: “Not enough system resources to complete the requested service.”Project context1080p, standard effects, not GPU-heavy.Errors feel random: sometimes at preview start, sometimes during camera-track analysis.What I’ve triedPurged All Memory & Disk Cache; Disk Cache on local NVMe (hundreds of GB free).Increased Windows pagefile size (also tried “system managed”) → no change.Latest NVIDIA Game Ready driver tested on

In AE 25.3.2, when opening a saved project, all OCIO Color Space Transform effects go back to the default option.Seems to be a visual bug since it does not affect the project or its appearance, and we can still change them manually, but there is no way to know what color space was choosen before saving the project.This also affects presets saved.   

i think its because i tryed to do something with the plug-ins idk

OS: Windows 10 Home 64bitI don't know what caused this but this project gets this error every time I hit space to preview it:After Effects error: Scribble internal error (512) ( 25 :: 60 )

Can't figure this out. This happens with every version of AE I've tried from 24.5 up, with a slew of drivers going back to the first version accepted in C4D earlier this year. CC Cleaner and DDU run when testing combos. Exporting a prores 422 file with no sound, from any project simple or complicated with different media. With or without additional plugin or scripts. It's not the cache or preferences, hardware panel render on and off, Multi frame on and off. Aaaaaaand with CUDA disabled.It will typically finish rendering, but occasionally just craps out. No compatibility issues found, and this is a new build. I will note that i get similar not good chime renders from a days old Lenovo Legion 9i that also has a 5080 series gpu in it.Intel Ultra 9 285k (no mods)PNY Geforce 5080192 GB DDR5Windows 11This project is relatively simple, stock footage from adobe (mp4) with only a few gaussian or drop shadows used.

My project is set to the ACES 1.2, ACES CG, 32-bit working color space. Okay, this error is very easy to understand. If the blue values of the footage exceed the 100 limit, they are ignored by the spill suppressor. It should be easy to fix, because this effect is not marked as only working in 16-bit color space, but should also be fully usable in a 32-bit workflow.1. Image. show the situation without spill suppressor applied. 2. Image shows, that the spill suppressor is applied only under the 100 mark. but not in the blue Highlights.  Thank you and have a nice day! 🙂 Hope you can fix it until next update 🙂 

Bonjour, J'ai un problème d'export After effect avec alpha pour gérer la transparence.J'ai créé mon fichier avec un fond rouge dans les pramètres du doc.J'ai animé des lettres vectorisées ainsi que des formes vectorielles.Lorsque j'exporte en .MOV, quick time avec RVB+Alpha et codec Apple ProRes 4444, il m'exporte un fichier qui, lorsque je le lis sur QuickTime a un fond noir, certainement d'aperçu, avec un fond rouge lorsque je le lis sur VLC, mais qui est transparent lorsque je l'importe dans Première... J'ai teste avec le codec animation, l'aperçu sur QuickTime n'est pas possible et sur VLC, en version RVB+Alpha elle apparait vert sur VLC, peut être la simulation de transparence ? et elle apparait bien en transparence dans Première. Sur mon serveur, les versions RVB+Alpha font ré-apparaitre le fond rouge... contrairement aux version alpha uniquement qui ont des fonds noirs (ou aperçu générer avec un fond noir automatiquement).Pouvez-vous m'aider svp ?

Hi,I am getting an error when trying to open After effects 2024 v24.6.6. Last log message was: <135947333> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir =/Applications/Adobe After Effects 2024/Adobe After Effects 2024.app/Contents/Required I have tried booting in safe mode, resetting preferences and disabling plugins and each time AE crashes.Currently running 2023 Mac studio M2 Max Sonoma 14.7.2.I have also cleared all cache files for adobe, rebooting, uninstalled and re-installed application.

I have a scene with a TV covered in stickers. I applied a mask to these stickers to give them a holographic effect with an image, applying “Hard Light” and lowering the opacity.Well, when I open the .fla file in After Effects, the mask works, but the “Hard Light” effects and opacity are not applied.I understand that there are several solutions, such as converting the symbol to a bitmap, but I want to find out why this is happening and whether or not there is a solution. 

When pasting text with "non-breaking space" character (ASCII Code 160) After Effects interprets it as a line break when it should just be a space. Here is a string you can use to test: "Try pasting this intro After Effects" I'm currently on macOS 26 and AE 25.4 but I've encountered this bug for many years. Thanks

I render out Cinema DNG files using After Effects all the time. 24.3 Mac (intel) has something seriously broken with it when it comes to accessing DNG sequences over an SMB network connection. Prior versions worked fine with no issue. Windows version not impacted.  Everytime I open an existing project, it first asks to convert it to the new format and then it gives me a dozen or more errors: After Effects error: Photoshop file format error (-1). (45::35) Some details:AE for Mac (Intel) version 24.3.0 (build 50)Footage where this is occurring is Cinema DNG format.Files are stored on a TrueNAS server connected by SMB over 10Gbe Ethernet.Prior to this I have seen PS have issues occasionally opening DNGs on network drives but never AE.Oddly, when previewing C-DNG sequences, it shows most frames just fine.All DNGs are confirmed to be valid and not corrupted or special in any way.Prior versions of AE did NOT have this issue.Does not occur on Windows version of After Effec

Description of the Issue:When editing in Premiere Pro, I use the "Replace with After Effects Composition" feature on a piece of footage. After Effects opens and allows me to make changes with no issue. However, when I try to switch back to Premiere, or click outside of After Effects (e.g., to the desktop, browser, or any other window), my entire computer either crashes or freezes for 3–4 minutes before displaying an error message and crashing the Adobe application.This crash has occurred 100% of the time when using Dynamic Link for the past two months. I’ve created a complicated and slow workaround, but due to the volume of work I produce, I’d really like to find a proper fix.Adobe After Effects Version:25.2.0 (Build 131)(Note: this issue has persisted across several recent versions)Operating System:Windows 11 HomeProcessor:AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core, 3.70 GHzGraphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Steps to Reproduce: In Premiere Pro, use "Replace with After Effects Compos

Rotobrush keeps crashing AE. I was on previous version yesterday of AE and I started encountering the error. I only have 1 shot left to complete. I updated AE, and still rotobrush crashes. I made a consolidated version of the project, and deleted current rotobrush all other effects, Started rotoing from strach, and then crash. I've cleared caches, restarted and as i already said, checked and updated AE. I can not complete this project because of this crash. I thought maybe the refine edge might be crashing, so I tried with just normal brush, and it still crashed after a minute or 2 of using it.Crash message:"After Effects can't continue: Roto Brush & Refine Edge plug-in generated an unexpected exception."Mac Studio Apple M2 Max, OS 15.7.1 (24G231)AE Version:  25.5.0 (build 4)

Hallo liebes Forum,ich habe leider ein kleines Problem. Mein After Effects lässt sich nicht mehr öffnen. Ich bekomme jedes mal wieder eine Fehlermeldung, dass das Programm "beschädigt" sei. Ich habe es schon mehrmals (de-)installiert und auch verschiedene Versionen schon ausprobiert. Es funktioniert leider gar nichts. Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen und würde mich über jede Hilfe freuen!LG
