Hello I have a problem with my after effect when I preview the timeline it won't go any further than five image after I have to spam the space bar to get the preview bar going further. And when I stop I have the message 'low memory warning ram as being extended for previews adjust RAM sitting in preference". I try all all the solution that I found on internet, add more rAM indeed in the preference menu, empty the cache section.PC : labtop Nitro ANV15-41CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHzRAM : 16,0 GoGPU : 4060Version of after effect : 25,1

Hello comunity, I'm having this really odd trouble with an Macbook Pro 16" 2020: as you can see in this ClearMyMac print below, AE 2025 and 2024 is taking really more from CPU than it should. This laptop has an AMD radeon dedicated GPU, but AE is not using it significantly, at least to not heat up to 78°C Any idea of what can be causing this?  

IssueSince version 2025, when it comes time to add my compositions to the Render Queue (CTRL+M), it takes a long time before they are added. This was never a problem before. It was done instantly. I am doing the test on a local disk, so it is not a network slowness problem. I do the same operation with version 2024 which is still installed on my computer and I do not have this problem. I did a test: add 100 compositions to the Render Queue.     v2025=3min 22 sec    v2024=instantlyAdobe After Effects version number 25.1.0(Build 68)Operating system  Windows 10 Pro 22H2Steps to reproduce - CTRL+M Expected result - Selected comps added to Render Queue instantlyActual result -  Long wait for that to happend  

Hey everyone,I’m trying to animate 3D text from Illustrator in After Effects, but it’s invisible. I can move the layer, but I can’t see it. I also got a warning: “Advanced 3D is not supported by the current hardware.”I’m new to this so I’m still learning !I’m on a 2018 MacBook Air (do not come after me!)• ⁠1.6 GHz Dual-Core i5 • ⁠Intel UHD Graphics 617 • ⁠8GB RAMIs this a hardware limitation? Do I need a plugin like Element 3D, or should I just rasterize the text and animate it in 2D?Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, Im working on an animated sequence where I have a boat race, with 8 rowers per boat. In illustrator i have designed the charcters with their limbs on seperate layers. Is there a way I can create the rowing motion once, and apply that to all the charcters? Im also going to swap out different mouths to show the charcters breathing in and out as part of the action along with blinks at intervals.  I'd usually just key frame all the movements for all the limbs in After effects and work like that to achieve the motion I want, but just thought id see if theres an easier way. Thank you.

Hello all, Just though I would write a post to help those of you struggling with making text reveals in After Effects.I myself have struggled with this and spent time researching the easiest way in which to do it. This video (below) is the most comprehensive and easy to follow video I have found to make this effect work, and I hope it helps many beginners like myself too:Text and Logo Behind Mask Reveal - After Effects Tutorial - YouTube Have a good day!

So if the max comp size is 30k by 30k does that mean 30k is the maximum number of pixels in one axis? Or would something like 50k by 3k be possible if RAM is not the limitation?

Hello, I'm currently working on an animation project, and I have to make the same effect as shown in the video.Can somebody tell me how I can achieve this?

Hey,I'm doing a simple 16-second motion graphics piece and I'm pressing the space bar to preview. When it gets to the end of my work area, it moves the playback head back to the beginning and continues playing. I have the loop button set to play once in the preview pane. This button doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.Is there something I'm missing?The green cache line for RAM preview is covering the entire work area so it's not that.Thanks!Scot

Is there a way to apply an expression to the shape of a box text?I’m not looking to create a text box, but rather a box text.I understand that with a script, it is possible to modify it via textDocument, but I would like to use animation here.

Hello I am completely new to using Adobe After Effects, so I apologize in advance for potentially not using the correct terminology. I purchased and downloaded this template: https://motionarray.com/after-effects-templates/magic-book-slideshow-251937/ I am creating my own art book and this template is perfect.  Following the video instructions by Motionarray, I was able to upload my images to all of the pages and make some changes. However, I am coming across issues with making further alterations to the various effects. Also, for some reason the image for the cover of the book is upside down and I don't know how to rotate it correctly.  Can anyone offer some advice and tips on how to make changes to a template? I would like to change/edit the following things:1. Rotate the cover image 180 degrees2. Change the book edge color3. Change the hue of the lighting on the left side as it is very yellow4. Remove the gold corner embellishments that s

Using Duik Angela, I am creating Duik KeyMorphs for each of my phenomes and mouth emotions (40 total). I can create a 40-slot slider to easily select from these 40 mouths, but it's a really long slider and I'd like to break it up into two columns of 20 each. The problem is, that each way I've seen to create this seems to rely on multiple pre-comps. However, I want Duik to have the ability to morph between these keys, and it seems to do this I need to have all 40 in the same KeyMorph grouping. I don't see how Duik could morph between keys in two different PreComps. So, is there any way to do this? I am toying with using a 2D slider and I adjust it to be really tall and narrow and then finding some way to have the place I move the dot in that 2D slider to select a specific KeyMorph Key. But this seems like I'm inventing the wheel and someone else has surely encountered this many times already. But based on the quality of tutorials online, and complete lack of current Duik forums or

Update: I figured it out... in the same windows I didn't have View set to "Roto Brush & Refine Edge" I just used RotoBrush 3.0 to track a person and now I want to freeze the results. But the freeze button is missing. Here's a screenshot from a YouTube video talking about RotoBrush 3.0 beta which shows the freeze button:  But in the actual release version the button is missing. Is the buttom moved somewhere else now?Thanks, Pete.

Hello,I'm trying to use the write on effect in after effects, using psd files but it doesn't seem to be working. The method I'm using works fine with AI files but the illustrator I'm using for this whiteboard animation job has sent me psd files.Method I used: double click on the file to open layers panel, use paint brush tool with RGBA and write on. Create my path. Duplicate layer, delete paint effect on that layer and add a generate write effect, making sure it's revealing image, small brush spacing and big brush size. Then I copied the path of first layer to brush position of second layer. Then deleted first layer.Has anyone had this issue before? Please let me know if you have a solution!!

If I try to use the Lumetri Color effect on a clip I get an Invalid Menu Operation error followed by infinite "internal verification failure, sorry! {invalid index in indexed group}" errors until I have to close After Effects using task manager. I've reset preferences, uninstalled all plugins, uninstalled AE and reinstalled it on my system drive, started in safe mode and tried multiple different clips. I've tried the renaming the folders in documents of appdata and it didn't do anything. I've tried applying the effect to a dark grey solid in a blank project and it still gave me the same result. My drivers are all up to date, I've cleared my cash and reset my preferences. I have googled this issue and found nothing useful.  PC Specs32 Core AMD ThreadripperRTX 3090128GB DDR4 Ram at 2800MHz

I receive this message when I try to place media replacement controls in the essential graphics window.  I am using a template that I purchased on Envato.  What am I doing wrong? "After Effects warning:  One or more layers are not supported by Media Replacement because they are an incompatible type or have Continuous Rasterization or Collapse Transformation enabled." I am trying to make the text editable in Premiere when i get it exported.   

hi, I am pretty new to using after effects expressions and I am not quite sure how to solve my problem and i also found no working solution on the internet. so I want to animate objects with always one in the background and one in the foreground and want to alternate them - this i figured out works with giving one layer: rate = 1/1;posterizeTime(rate);seedRandom(index, false);random(0,100) < 50 ? 0 : 100; and the other one: if(thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.opacity==0)100;else 0; now comes my breaking point: I have a lot of these alterning pairs and I dont want them to all switc at the same time but rather randomized. I´ve tried several options working with offset, startTime/endTime or durations and either I did it wrong or it was the absolute wrong approach to my problem.(e.g. pair 1 always switches on frames with :10 and pair 2 on frames with :15)I am also working on a file with around 400 layers which also moves me to find a simple solution to my probl

Hi,So I have some 60FPS footage ive been needing to edit on after effects, but i seem to have run into a previous problem.Basically, my footage is 60FPS and I edit on 60FPS too-my comp is always set to 60FPS-but when i import this footage, slowing it down is a nightmare. I get paused frames with time remap AND twixtor. The twist is when i use 23,976FPS footage, the time remap and twixtor works perfectly fine, its smooth and the clip is easy to see. It just seems like anything from 30FPS-60FPS does not want to slow down smooth, I have tried changing my speed graphs and making the twixtor faster but no luck!I would also like to add that I asked my friend to see if this happens on their After Effects, I thought maybe it was a bug on AE's behalf, but they can edit 60FPS perfectly fine and smooth! Is this a setting I need to change? This happened on After Effects 2022 and is now happening on After Effects 2024.Would love to know if anyone has any kind of fix to this! 

I have this wave that I want to animate (I dont want to start from scatch; I want this specific one), either just the wave moving or it going from a straight line to this exact wave. What's the best way to go on about this? I'm a bit of a beginner.
