Questions

I'm working on a Premiere project that I started in 24.x and because Media Encoder was updated to 25.1, the dynamic linking broke and I had to update Premiere as well, and then AE.So now everything's on 25.1, and so every time I go back and use Edit Original in Premiere to open the AE composition, once AE has opened it asks me to save the AE project. It then forgets that it's saved that project, so it keeps opening the original converted one. As an example, I've just opened the project "Project (converted).aep" using Edit Original and because it demanded I save it, I saved it to "Project (converted) v3.aep". If I now close AE, when I reopen the project it will reopen "Project (converted).aep" and not "Project (converted) v3.aep" - and ask me to save it. I've tried resetting AE's preferences, and it hasn't fixed it. Any ideas?

Hi! I can't figure out how to get this radiating aura line effect on a moving figure. Image below of the intended effect. I've gotten partway there by using radio waves on a mask shape, but the lines don't radiate evenly on all directions. Any advice? Have combed through many youtube videos, can't really find any examples of this but seems like it should be doable!! Thanks 🙂

Hi. I have some transpiled code ftom typescript to JavaScript ES3, with his corresponding sourceMaps. Is it posible to use this sourceMaps to exeute the breakpoitnts of the ExtendScript Debugger on the typescript code, instead of in the transpiled code? If not, is there any workarround to accomplish this?

We've got VFX turnovers (EXR files sequences) that come with CDLs (SAT/SOP) Mostly the VFX Vendors take care of all this on their end, but occasionally our AEs have to do it.What are various & best practices for applying CDLs in After Effects. Ideally we're looking at fast, reliable, and ultimately automateable using ExtendScript / Custom HTML Panel Extension

I have been editing clips from my Panasonic SDR S26 and realised the right side is being cropped out of all the footage in AE. I have tried different composition and interpret footage settings and I'm really stuck. Would appreciate any help. The files are .mpgs and when I open them in quicktime they are squished but the whole frame is included, so I know that the right side of the footage is there. I've provided a couple of images but if you need any more info please let me know.

Hi all, ~ 2 years ago i wrote a script for AE which was accessing any property in the EP group which had a text value and then it woudl do something to it. I just found out, this part of my script stopped working and it it doing nothing at the moment. The old working solution was cycling like this:for (var m = 1; m <= theLayer.property("ADBE Layer Overrides").numProperties; m++) {        Text = theLayer.property("ADBE Layer Overrides").property(m).value.text;        do something...} Now the Text returns nothing. theLayer.property("ADBE Layer Overrides").property(m).value returns 565 Error Object of type TextDocument found where a Number Array or Property needed. Which tells me there is a TextDocument object there. TextDocument object should have a property("Source Text") and I should be able to get its value through property("Source Text").value. So I try theLayer.property("ADBE Layer Overrides").propert

Hi,I am working with After Effects CC (v16.0). I'm ready to render my composition but no matter what I do, After Effects seems to skip some of my time remapped key frames. I've tried purging the memory/cache, playing around with the render settings, changing frame blending and motion blur, everything else that has come up in google but nothing seems to work. The files I'm time remapping are illustrator files and everything plays fine in the preview. (Also on macOS Mojave v10.14 if that helps).Here is one section of the rendered video to show what is happening. This character has four different displays: looking left mouth open, left mouth closed, right mouth open, right mouth closed. The right mouth closed frame isn't displaying in the rendering. If you need some more information let me know, very confused and lost at this point

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I'm trying to turn on the tracker, but I get an error. I updated the drivers and reinstalled the program, but it was pointless. The only thing that saved me was the transition to ae 2022, but I'm more satisfied with version 23, help me solve this issue.

Hi, After Effects (25.1) keeps crashing when I run Premier Pro at the same time. I have 32GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 7, I upgraded to a 4TB SSD, I cleared the cache, I deleted and reinstalled everything, and I still can't have the two apps running at the same time because they crash my PC. I didn't have that issue when I worked with the 24 version and it's getting real time consuming to work on any project that requires anything from After Effects, something that can be done quickly ends up being exhausting.   

With a project set up as "Adobe color managed" with a working Color Space of "Rec.709 Gamma 2.4" trying to export as a png sequence returns the error "... PNGIO library error: profile 'After Effects ICC Profile': 0h: PCS illuminant is not D50 (5027 :: 12)". This does not occur in After Effects 2024 with exactly the same settings. To reproduce the error set up a project with the settings as in the screenshots and attempt to export a png sequence. Windows 11.

Anyone able to help on this, myself and some colleagues are getting crash reports with different error messages; Last log message was: 662308 RenderThreadExecutor This was on mine today, got about 2 minutes into opening AE and scrubbing the timeline and it crashed. One problem I thought it might be was working offline from the Google Drive which is my teams set up. Sometimes happens when saving which is why I thought G Drive. We're working on Macs - my Mac 2021 M1 Running 15.3.1 (24D70). I've turned off multi-frame rendering today and it seems to working alright.. but slowing down the work obviously too. More info upon request! Just wondering if anyone was getting these random crashes. 

The trapcode plugin in After Effects seems to be affecting my ability to import 3D objects directly into After Effects (Not Cinema4D), obj, gltf files etc.I'm trying to import a 3D object into After Effects, but all I see when I import the .obj file, is a message saying '3D Model for use with Trapcode'. Is this a bug, or am I doing something daft?Can anyone please advise on how to fix this which doesn't require uninstalling Trapcode?I'm using After Effects 23.6 and I have the latest version of Red Giant installed.Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm trying to create a text box with two lines of text (headline and subline). The box should grow with the text, wichever of the two lines of text is longer. I've gotten this far but now I'm stuck.The box must only expand to the left, keeping it anchored to a fixed place on the right side. Also, the two lines of text must remain centered within the box. I can't really wrap my head around how this could be done. Any help is highly appreciated. Tanks a lot.

I want to change the color of my play head etc. It's POINTLESS to remove it and yet it is removed. Any idea if there's an alternative? If not, don't reply please. Only reply if there is a way to do this.

Hi guys. I'm building a script that needs to store a file settings in the user machine. I'm using "json2" library in order to use objects and save settings as json format. The idea is that if the script runs the first time, it creates the settings file, but if the file already exists, just load its info. My script is made from an UI panel with a "settings" button that launches another panel that feeds from the settings file and has a button to save the changes made in that window (checkboxes, dds, etc). Right now, it creates the settings file for the first time pretty well, but when I try to save new settings in the file, this gets broken and erase everything inside. Here is the current code. Any help will be pretty much appreciated//@include "json2.jsx"; (function myFunction(thisObj) { var settingsProps = { imageSeq : true, renderPreset : "PNG Delivery", allowSkipFiles : true, imageSeqVersions : false, lastRenderPath : [""], lastFFmpeg

I recently subscribed to after effects and when I opened it, it said some plugins were not compatible with my version of after effects (2024). However I cannot find after effects 2023 anywhere, even when I navigate to previous versions, the oldest version they give me is the first 2024 ae version. Does anyone know how I can download after effects 2023? Would be greatly appreciated.

How do u go from the first one to the second one. the artist said he uses ae, I can get a similar effect for the lineart with roughen edges but for the blur and the low quality feel I dont know how he does it I need help 

Hello there good people!Can anyone tell me why Mocha Pro can't track this footage? It seems to me it should be a simple task as the green screen has a very clear edge to track. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?https://www.dropbox.com/s/yg4ww7jy4uwjktq/mocha%20bad%20tracks%20v1.mp4?dl=0Cheers!

Hi!I can't figure out why when using SmartRender() my render doesn't update when I adjust the slider on the timeline. The value in this lineA_long shift = in_data->current_time / in_data->time_step;does change but the render itself doesn't update. When I use the deprecated Render() everything works fine. How can I ensure that the render is updated when the timeline time changes?This code is supposed to shift the image to the right as the timeline time changes. It works with video, but not with images. Perhaps I need to set the correct flag? out_data->out_flags = PF_OutFlag_DEEP_COLOR_AWARE | PF_OutFlag_SEND_UPDATE_PARAMS_UI | PF_OutFlag_WIDE_TIME_INPUT; out_data->out_flags2 = PF_OutFlag2_FLOAT_COLOR_AWARE | PF_OutFlag2_SUPPORTS_SMART_RENDER | PF_OutFlag2_DOESNT_NEED_EMPTY_PIXELS | PF_OutFlag2_AUTOMATIC_WIDE_TIME_INPUT | PF_OutFlag2_SU

 Good morning, afternoon, evening. I have a question in regards to Dynamic Link. I'm a small YouTuber focusing primarily on gaming. When recording my videos, I record in 3840x1080, so that when editing, I can make my template 1920x1080 and duplicate the file and use one for my face cam and the other as my screen recording via cropping. This works well, until it's time to add effects in After Effects via Dynamic Link. When After Effects imports my video, the part that I cropped out reappears. Could anyone give me any insight as to why this is happening. Thank you in advance!
