Question

A possible After Effects bug

  • June 28, 2024

I've been trying to create an animation for social media in After Effects.
When I try and implement a preset text animation via Bridge, I get the attached error message.
I asked an After Effects expert for advice and he thought it was a bug and it should be reported to Adobe, which is what I'm doing!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
(My system spec: iMac Apple M3 (bought this year),  Sonoma 14.4.1,  Bridge 14.1.1,  After Effects 24.5)

Hi @Derek Cross,

Thanks very much for reporting this issue. When applying After Effects presets from Adobe Bridge, this error is shown if Bridge tells AE to treat the preset as if it were footage (which it obviously isn't). To avoid the error, use the "Place In After Effects <version>" command in the right-click menu in Bridge:

 

Cheers,
