Hi all,When I'm in the graph editor, the following message is permanently displayed at the bottom of the screen: (no selected properties have expressions.)I haven't noticed this before but it started displaying about a week ago. It's a but annoying as it takes up a row that would otherwise be graph space.Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can turn this off? I can't find it and I've searched Google and the forums for an answer too.Thank youMalLate 2013 15" rMPB2.6GHz i7512GB SSDnVidia GeForce GT 750M16GB RAM

I've had my personal creative cloud plan for a week now, and every time I try to change the renderer to C4D the app says it needs to be downloaded. And every time I check for it in my CC account, it says C4D has been added. Really confused by this 

I have a project set up where I'm trying to type out the words "THIS IS A TEST" and have each character appear on screen the moment the typing sound occurs: So after following a lot of youtube tutorials, here's what I did:[1] Took the audio file and converted it to keyframes and noted the amplitude of the typing sound being around 2.0 units[2] Applied "Opacity" animator to Text layer, switched Units from "Percentage" to "Index", set Smoothness to "0", and set Range (not Layer) Opacity to 0%.[3] Pickwhipped Range Selector Start to Audio Amplitude Slider.  I'm not getting the desired result: typewriter text is not animating to typing sound. I'm sure I'm doing sometihng wrong, but I have no idea what. Thank you so much to anyone who can help me resolve this.

Hello,I am using the latest version of AE without any additional plugins, and the performance is terrible. When dragging any elements in the composition window, everything slows down significantly. The same issue occurs when resizing elements or adjusting the scale.Animation preview is practically unusable. When pressing Play, it plays for a maximum of 1-2 seconds. Clearing the memory and disk cache does not help much.I am working on the following hardware:CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHzGPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, Drivers 24.10.27.02RAM: 16 GBAE is installed on an SSDOS: Windows 11I have allocated 13 GB of RAM for AE.Please help me resolve this issue. Best regards,Denis

Subject: PC Freezing/Blank Screen with Beeps During Adobe Use? Let's Troubleshoot!Hey everyone,I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with my PC lately, and I'm hoping some of you might have some insights. Whenever I'm using Adobe software (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc.), my screen suddenly goes blank, I hear a series of beeps, and the system completely freezes. This happens intermittently, but it's becoming increasingly frequent and disrupting my workflow.Here's a breakdown of what I'm experiencing:Symptoms:Sudden blank screen (no display).Audible beep codes (3 beep sound coming).Complete system freeze (no response to keyboard or mouse).This issue primarily occurs while using resource-intensive Adobe applications.What I've Already Tried:Basic Checks: I've made sure all cables are securely connected.Overheating: I have checked for dust buildup and cleaned out my pc. I have also monitored my temperatures, and they seem normal, but I will monitor them more closely.Restarting: Obvious

Hi, The buttons of minimize, maximize and close buttons are too small in After Effects at MacBook.I have Adobe XD and the sizes of minimize, maximize and close buttons are normal, like in all windows of my computer.I'm annoyed because it is happens only in After Effects.Here is a picture of how it is Here is a picture of how it is NORMAL.  See the difference? It's not a problem of resolution of my computer, I already tried this.I also uninstalled and installed again, and didn't worked.I restarted my computer and didn't worked either. Can somebody help me please? Thank you! 

Hi all, I've been animating for a small production company using the same hardware setup for a couple of years now, and fortunately, my bosses have recently decided it's time to get me an upgrade!We work in an almost exclusively Mac-based office, and despite what I've read about people moving away from Mac in favour of PC setups lately, I'm still pretty dead set on getting a Mac, just for office workflow purposes.Here's what I'm currently running:Mac Pro (Mid 2012)3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MBIt's been a pretty reliable workstation, but nowadays I'm experiencing a bit of slowdown, especially when it comes to opening Adobe programs (After Effects and Media Encoder specifically, although even Illustrator has been suffering from a bit of slowdown lately.)The 2019 Mac Pro is a little out of budget for us, and from reading a few forums, it seems as though the late 2013 Mac Pro is pretty terribly optimised for Adobe programs, so here's what I'm th

I am making a kinetic typography video on my mac using the latest (2017) version of after effects. I imported my audio file (which is 2mins long) and when i hit the spacebar to preview the sound this little green bar started loading across the top of my timeline then just stopped after about 5 seconds. Now, when i try to preview it it plays fine for the first five seconds and when it reaches the end of the green bar it just starts over? Now I can't listen to the rest of my audio to time out when my words should appear!

Using the bodymovin plugin to export JSONWhen I exclude the rasterized images there is no problem with the .JSON.

Hi there,Is there any way to get your H.264 exports color managed based on the project settings within after effects? Or are there any good export formats from adobe media encoder which don't mess around with colors?A bit of background info.. I'm exporting a piece of small motion graphics with a solid red background color which is my client's brand color (#dc1e35.)I'm using the H.264 format from Adobe Media Encoder and the result is something visually flatter and more desaturated.If I render from within after effects using QuickTime, the color is correct.I'm trying to share the files with people for sign off and the MP4 file is 15MB, easy to email but is the wrong color. The MOV file is 400MB so it cannot be emailed but is the correct color.I have opened both files in photoshop, using the eyedropper the MOV file color is exactly what I specified (#dc1e35), but the MP4 is not, it is #dd2a41.Thank you

Hi! I've reinstalled after effects after having to reinstall windows 11, and now, every time I open a file, send a comp to the render queue or try to save the project, a warning pops up: "After Effects warning: could not rename the file" (screenshot below). Before having to do this, everything was working just fine. I already tried to run it as administrator, change permissions on both, after effects folder and preferences folder, and even completely uninstalled all adobe apps, including the creative cloud app, removing every trace they left, and reinstall everything again. I still get this warning. Can someone help me please? It's a little annoying to get this warning pop-up all the time.

O problema ocorre ao tentar importar um arquivo do Cinema4D e ao tentar criar um pelo After Effects, o complemento do Cinema4D ja está instalado no After Effects, mas eu não consigo Instalar o App da Maxon. 

The new native OCIO color management in After Effects works great for me - but only if I export using the Render Que, where I can control the final Output Color Space using Color Tab of the Output Module.  This allows me to export my ACES footage as ACES/sRGB (olor_picking: Output - sRGB and Output/Output - sRGB options also work).  Using that export setting makes my exported footage match my working settings in After Effects using the OCIO ACES color management. But I see no way of doing this in Media Encoder.  The footage is always exported way too dark.  And the only output color options I see are greyed out. See screenshot. I am using macOS 12.6.3

I'm new to After Effects. I downloaded various templates from the Envato site, but when I import the AEP file into After Effects, I can't view it correctly. I get an error message relating to many files missing within the composition and what I see when I click on the rendering or on the individual level files is a box with many colored vertical stripes that move jerkily. Only the text appears correctly. Can anyone tell me why?
