After Effects 17.1.4 is now available for download from the Creative Cloud desktop application. This update adds two new enhancements and contains several bug-fixes.

 

What's new?

  • The Channel Combiner and Channel Effects are now GPU accelerated
  • Motion Graphic templates that utilize the Roto Brush Effect can now be imported into Premiere Pro

 

What's fixed?

  • The Create Shapes from Vector Layer command is now disabled for Illustrator layers if the source file is missing
  • Bug fixes for the Median effect when rendering transparent pixels: alpha channel edges render correctly in 32-bpc color, and layers that are completely transparent no longer return an error message, “Photoshop Library operation failed”
  • Fixed an issue where using shape stroke taper was generating a spike at start and end points
  • Fixed an issue with Master Properties that was causing the push and pull buttons to be grayed out after keyframe interpolation changes
  • Fixed an issue where adding dropdown menu items to existing Motion Graphics templates and replacing in Premiere was resetting previous selections
  • Fixed an issue in the Echo effect, where it could produce garbage pixels in output

My Creative Cloud desktop application keeps telling me that After Effects is up to date. But it's still on the 17.0.2 version. Even after refreshing it's still up to date. What can I do to get the new version?

Please provide more details about your system and OS. Are you crashing on launch or while working?

The more info you can provide, the better.
