In the keyboard shortcut editor, if I try to update a keyboard shortcut that has been applied to multiple behaviors, both behaviors get obliterated and only the one new behavior assigned to it remains. For instance, I wanted command option c to map to copy with relative property links instead of the default. That shortcut is also mapped to remember interpolation for footage item. I don't like the default for copying in the timeline, but I do like the default for copying interpolation in the project window. If I want to update the timeline behavior, I lose the project behavior.

The odd new export screen (longer feedback on that coming when I have time) gets its layout all borked if I try to access it from the Audio layout of the Edit screen. It looks like this...which is less than useful.

was that SSD the same one that your OS and AE were installed on or a seperate one?

external hard drive is the wrong way to go for caching. you want an SSD with a direct connection to your motherboard for best performance. Also, which version of AE are you using?

what kind of template are you dealing with? you should just be able to click into the text layer and hit enter. if it's box text you may be able to grab the bounding box and extend it.

There's a bunch of little things in here. I see what looks like a wiggle on the whole scene. Looks like there's multiple instances of various assets and text separated out on z space. There optics compensation and chromatic aboration. Everything appears to be an expression tied to the audios amplitude that's controlling the intensity of all these different things. Really you just keep adding effects and tie them into the track until you have a giant mess.

not sure about windows but on mac the way I fix this is to change the display resolution, move the newly positioned missing window to the middle of my screen and then change it back. hacky but works.

this is a super confusing request. do you want to make an animation to build into an app? it sounds like you're describing a loading sequence. the questions you are asking are very broad. sounds like you could benifit from some of the basics: Get to know After Effects |

for starters that's not the latest version of after effects. try updating to 15.1.2 and see if that helps.

What you want is have your tracker set to stabilize in the 2nd clip. That will move the anchor point so that it's always over the object you're tracking. Then you can move the layer into the corner and use a shape layer or solid as a track mask to crop out the rest of the shot

Technically apple stopped supporting them so Adobe just removed depreciated codecs, but may be worth trying the same file in 15.0.1 to isolate if that's the switch that made this particular file stop working. If it is, consider converting to a supported codec.

My concise answer would be to review motion tracking methods. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/tracking-stabilizing-motion-cs5.html

You can copy all the kryframes on a property by clicking the property name. You can then pass those keyframes to a new property of the same type. Make sure you're on frame 1 and click the words "Upper Left" then copy. You can then click on "Top Left" and paste all the key data. Repeat for all 4 properties and delete corner pin. This works because all properties are 2d (x,y) position coordinates. If you really want to get crazy you can jumble up the positions of the pins to do things like horizontally or vertically flip the screen content.

When you drag then point after effects is redraeing the layer that mask is on. Looks like you may have adaptive resolution previwing enabled (click on the blue rectangle with the lightening bolt in it at the bottom of the comp panel to check your preview setting) and that will speed up previewing by dropping resolution. There are two ways around this that I know of. One is to set that prevew setting to final image ( I'm on a bus right now and not sure of the exact name but you want the option that gives onle the rendered image). This will prevent the down sampling but may cause AE to lag or you can set the mask mode to none and ram preview your work area. Then when you drag points it won't change the image thereby negating AEs need to draw new frames. I prefer this method because its the fastest way to make adjustments. You still have yo chang your mask back to the mode you want to render with to check your work, but at least you can work fast.

I just make a comp sized solid and set the x value of the anchor point to either 0 or the same size as the width of the comp .This leaves you with a solid that covers half the comp perfectly. If you want the solid to be half the comp width you can adjust the width in the solid settings menu.

When updating Adobe apps from the Creative Cloud app make sure to verify that you have "impkrt preferences from previous version" enabled under the advanced settings. Also a good idea to disable "remove previous versions" and manually uninstall only once you're sure you won't need anything from the oreviopr versions. Unfortunately this is turned on by default so you'll have to check every time you update any app.

i don't believe this is possible. you could try doing this with a layer style drop shadow and turn the layer fill to 0 but I don't know if you can do this with actual 3d lights.

what Mylenium said. there's no access to the box text dimensions via expressions, just do it the old fashioned way and manually break the lines.

I'll add to Gutterfish​'s suggestion and say get a copy of Sortie which will let you sort your layers based off of their position in the composition. You could then use rift to sequence out which coins fall when. That's only if you want a more controlled falloff to your animation. otherwise, random will get you there.

I've run into this a couple times myself. Go into your system preferences and change the resolution of your display. The app will sort of recenter itself. Then you can go back to whatever preferences you prefer.

This is a hugely subjective question and will depend primarily on what you need the files for. As is it sounds like you're good to go with h264 as your sharable format. You could play with webm or ogg but most folks are still on h264 for the time being. For high quality there's lots of ways to go. At my day job we still do ProRes 422HQ masters. If you want maximum data retention and storage space is no object you could do lossless exr frames, a lossless audio mixdown and an xml file to rebuild in an editor as needed. You'll get lots of answers on this so pick the one that's easiest to integrate into your workflow

honestly, depends on what you're doing and which version you're in. AE can be pretty unstable sometimes. What version of the app are you using and what type of stuff are you doing with it?
