Hey,  I'm having this issue that might be easy to solve, but I just can't seem to do it. I need to do a mock-up of the bottom comp on the curved screen image on top. It's a static image so it won't require and tracking, but I just don't know how to do it - I've tried a lot of distort tools and combinations of them, without much success. Any ideas? thank you! 

Hello!How so I add Google sans bold and medium to AE?Thank you for your help!Holly

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable or customise the new AE (17.5.1) splash screen?I don't know why but I find having to look at 'REE ANC' every time AE starts up far more irritating than sad PS lady. I tried the -NoSplash trick with the shortcut path but no joy.

I'm not sure why but every time I render and export my after effects project, the final outcome is blurry. Imagine the sort of thing when you are trying to watch a youtube video on mobile data and the quality is reduced because its trying to load the video. This doesn't happen for any of my other projects which are not using the 3d camera so does anyone know why the 3d camera is causing this to happen?

I just bind the Position with an epression to an slider FX effect("Slider Control")("Slider") but in Premiere, the mogrt does not work. The slider is there, but nothing happens

ive been using after effects for a while now and never had a problem but now all the sudden whenever i render a video its terrible quality. i made my composition from my footage and it looks fine in after effects but when i render the video from after effects using any footage without editing it at all it looks terrible. all the render settings are completely default and im exporting in h.246 mp4 format. ive attatched the raw video and what it looks like after exporting and screenshots of all the export settings. i got 1 error that says itll change the output from 60.026fps to 60fps so audio may not synch but i googled it and cant find a way to fix it. the error only happens when i change from avi to mp4 and if i export in avi it looks fine. although ive been getting this error since i started using ae so i dont think its the cause. clips were recorded on my phone and sometimes the frame rate varies by a bit but has never caused a problem before. please help

Hi, can anyone help me? I was just editing in After Effects and Illustrator, then I saved the AI file, but all the AI files that were already uploaded to After Effects disappeared (I think it's because I saved it twice). does anyone know how to restore these files? i really need it for my uni assignment😭 I’ve tried replacing the file with the same one, but it still appears black😭

As soon as I switch the project to Advanced 3D Renderer, all the layers disappear from the screen.But when I switch them back to 2D, they reappearI will work with 3d objects so I have to work on the advanced 3d renderer note: I don't face this problem when I work on the classic 3d or cinema 4d 

HiI'm rendering a 6 minute video in after effects. It's been going on for over 14 hours and stuck on 89% done. Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks

Just got a Mac Mini M4 Pro (12-Core CPU, 12-Core GPU, 48GB RAM, 512GB SSD), but I’m running into slow 3D rendering performance in advanced 3d. Even simple animations aren’t previewing properly, and renders are taking much longer than expected. The scenes only have 3-4 .obj models and a hdr model. Strangely, my older machine (Ci7 12th gen, 32GB RAM, 4GB RTX 3050) renders 4x faster. I’m using After Effects and default settings. Running MacOS sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70). Could this be a hardware limitation or a setting issue? Anyone else experiencing this with M4 chips? Any fixes? 

Hi, I've been a long-time user of After Effects, and today I've encountered a very unusual and project-breaking problem, which never happened before. I was working on a pretty heavy map-based documentary on After Effects 23.2, and everything was working great. It was opening and saving with all the plugins. However, today when I opened the latest version of my project, it didn't open. It just kept on freezing the loading bar. This file was opened on the same version of After Effects less than a week ago, and today it suddenly stopped working. Not only that! But every single auto-save of this project just keeps on crashing my after effects! Every single one of them! This is just for the documentary on Cuba, the same stuff started happening with the other one and same issue, not a single after effects auto-save was working. They all kept crashing.Here is what I tried:1. Renaming2. Clearing Cache & Media3. Importing into a new project.4. Installing new version

Hi there fellows!I just installed the update to the new Particular 5 - and its just so slow to work with? Has thsi happened to any of you guys.I have a powerful system and the old Particular worked way more smooth - and i tried to reinstall all red giant. Have not uninstalled After Effects - as I dont want to install all the 50 plug-ins again 🙂

Greetings all, (Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this question and I hope I'm not breaking any guideline rules.) I'm using the plug-in Joysticks N' Sliders to animate a project of a character playing the drums.  But I've ran into specific use-case obstacles that tutorials on the plug-in don't quite cover.I could ask a dozen questions on the forumns and Youtube channels hoping for a response but, I think in this case, it'd be best to just pay someone for their knowledge/experience and get guidance in order to continue the project as its a useful plug-in I'd really like to become better at. Officially: The question here is where can I go to find someone who's willing and able to teach Joystick N' Sliders? (If it's here, would anyone be interested? Due to Adobe Forum Community Safety Guidelines, do not leave any personal info in the comments - I'll PM.) Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,KZ 

Hi everyone, I think my After Effects and Premiere Pro are crashing. Every time I try to drag a .mogrt file into the timeline, the applications immediately close. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having what seems to be a viewport rendering error. For example, I have a 3d nested composition with collapse transformations on. In that comp there are a few other nested comps all of which are 3d and have CT on as well. So I have switched all layers to 3d layers and have CT on all the way down. The problem occurs in the main comp when zooming in or out with a camera or rotating the layer. the nested comp doesn't keep up with the preview or freezes entirely.  It will snap into place when I stop the preview or clear cache. I've tried reinstalling AE, gpu drivers etc. Thanks in advance for any help. After effects version version 25.1 (build 68)Windows 11 version 10.0.22631 Build 22631 

Hi, I'm trying to implement a scrollbar for a script in After Effects. I don't know how to code, so I asked ChatGPT for help. Everything is working fine except for the scrollbar's position in X. What does the code do?It creates a list of 15 white rectangles in a resizeable dockable panel. If the panel is not big enough to display all the rectangles, a scrollbar appears so you can scroll through all the rectangles.Now, the problem is that the scrollbar position in X is just at the right side of the rectangles and I want it locked to the right border of the panel. The next image shows where the scrollbar position in X is right now (red arrow) and where it should be (blue arrow). This is the code:// Crear panel dockeable o ventana flotante var myPanel = (this instanceof Panel) ? this : new Window("palette", "Panel Dockeable", undefined, {resizeable: true}); myPanel.orientation = "column"; myPanel.alignChildren = ["fill", "top"]; // Contenedor principal que agrupa

Hi, i click on the play button for the ram preview but it doesn't play and it doesn't render either. Here a screenshot.

Hey guys! So I'm trying to get some work done for a streamer.They have an animation they want me to include in the bigger animations I'm making for them.It's in WebM format.So they sent me the file, and I checked it by adding it to OBS in a scene, and it absolutely 100% has an alpha channel.But I can't get it to work in After Effects at all. It just gives me a black background.I've tried:- Converting the WebM to WebM again in Media Composer (because why not)- Converting it to a different format that has alpha channel (namely, ProRes)- Asking them to zip the file and send it to me, in suspicions that Discord was messing with the file as it got sentNope. Black background still there ruining my life.Help.I'd attach the file here, but no zip or webm support.So here's a Dropbox link [LINK] 

Hi,  I'm using after effects for the first time. I'm using the pen tool and just trying to draw some lines and it is incredibly laggy. Does anyone know why this may be? I have an HP Zbook 15v G5 laptop - intel core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Nvidia Quadro P600 4GB. Thanks Ben

Currently have a After Effects CES extension that loads a GLB url (from a API) into a GLB URL auto-filled window, I need that URL to be downloaded and converted to a .glb on my computer, after that I need it to be imported into a AE composition.It seems releativiy simple, right?I keep on geting these Error:Download result: EvalScript error.this makes me think the CSInterface.js isn't cooperating maybe. but I can't figure it out.Any suggestions?Thank you in advance!

I am desperately trying to find the extendscript toolkit for an hour. Please dont share CEP github link or Psyrius github link , I have already tried it. It is 32 bit which my machine does not support. I had extendscript toolkit but when i reset my machine everything is gone, why is Adobe trying to hide it, people are still using it, shouldn't be this tough to find it.And in the creative cloud app in older versions too it doesnt show so don't share that tip.

Hi there, I have this issue with some frequency and it seems to happen across multiple machines at my company.  We'll try to send something to media encoder and we'll get an error saying "could not rename file" immediately followed by "AE can't continue: DynamicLinkServer generated an unexpected exception" and then finally "before quitting you have one chance to save" before crashing AE entirely.  For example, right now I'm going through a project with quite a number of comps and trying to build a queue of both multiple comps and multiple sections within those comps.  Just tonight with over 70 comps I'm exporting I've had already 10-15 crashes.   This can happen on a comp once, but then on second try exports fine.  This can be on comps that have plug-ins or comps that have none.  It happens on various projects, not just a specific one.  I've done restarts, cache clears, etc and the problem remains.   Currently I'm running

I just finished creating my animation in After Effects, but I got jittering line animation. I already tried to fix it by increasing the frame rate, adding a noise effect, increasing the bit color from 8bit to 16bit, adding blur, etc., but the problem is still there.I attached the project file too. I know some assets may be missing, but my main problem is in the grid object.Please help me!
