Questions

If my After Effects project is set to 8-bit but I choose 16-bit in the render settings, will that result in an actual increase in color depth, or does it simply render the existing 8-bit data in a 16-bit format? Will it still utilize the original 16-bit data from the footage and effects during rendering?

Hello, I just installed Rubber hose 2. but It does not show the stroke. instead, it shows a dotted line.I have changed the project setting expression from java to legacy. still, nothing works! Please help.  

I have a long expression but, isolating and trouble shooting one part of it for example's sake: z = time; throw z;Values are inconsistent, and innaccurate. For example, in a 2 second, 23.976 fps comp:Frame 24 (1 second) throws z as 2.002 seconds. Frame 12 (0.5 seconds)... also 2.002 seconds. Deleting the code, then re pasting it exactly the same as before:Frame 24 (1 second) throws z as 0.95 seconds. Frame 12 (0.5 seconds)... back to 2.002 seconds.Back to Frame 24 (1 second), we're back to 2.002 again.  Seems like after a few clicks, the time variable is gets "caught" by the comp duration.Any ideas?   

There are fonts, where the numbers are "old style figures" (screenshot).In InDesign and Illustrator it's no problem to change them to normal "Lining Figures" via OpenType configurations. I couldn't find that in After Effects. Is there any way to change that in AE?

I have completed an edit in Premiere which has a mixture of Rec709 and 2100 HLG footage, the sequence is set to 709. When I replace an Rec2100 clip with After Effects Composition, AE appears to interpret the footage completely differently from PR. I tried setting interpreting the footage to 709 and replacing clip this way but same problem. I started brand new projects and imported and set everything manually and the same problem still occurs.  I've checked that all colour management settings match, interpreted footage to make sure they're the same colour space... I've tried everything I can possibly think of to get the AE comp to look the same colour as it does on the PR timeline... but I just can't get them to match.  Any ideas?

Warp stabilizer has seemed to stop working despite normal trouble shooting methods. no crashes, just never proceeds form the "Analyzing step 1" stage

Hallo,I have installed last version of Maxon Cinema4D 2025, I got latest version of After Effects 2024 and even beta 2025 on my machine. When I try to load or create c4d file, afx says there is no cinema4D 2024. Is there a way to change path somewhere or do I have to wait for adobe plugin update cineware 2025 ? Is it even planed ?Thank you.JLukas

My project is set at 24fps, in Preferences > Import > Sequence Footage I have set 24fps for every footage I import.When importing a PSD file as a Composition, this comp is set at 29.97fps. Same thing for every PSD group. I import many PSD every day, so it is annoying to remember every time that I have to manually change framerate.Is there a way to set the default framerate of an imported PSD file?thanks,Lo

Hello, I am having trouble exporting a transparent video from AE. I have made the background transparent on my video as well as the fill (only a short animation of the stroke), Everything shows up correct on the AE preview with the right transperincies the problem is the export. When I add it to the render queue I make sure to change the settings to:QuickTime, RGB + Alpha, Apple ProRes 4444and it still comes out with a black background... I've tried compressing the file after and selecting preserving but still black.  Please help! Thank you

Hi, I have a question. so recently I ended a project. It was 4000 x 4000. but later I needed it into 1980x1020. so I copied (Copy paste) the original AE file in the same folder and Created a new project with 1920 x 1080 dimension. and imported the copied AE file into the new project and from there I am redoing some animation  to fit 1920 x 1080 screen. After a while suddenly a thought came into mind and it drives me crazy. Will this copied AE file hamper the original one (4000 x 4000). Yes or No, Please help me. Yes or No

Hey guys! I've tried to install After Effects in my PC but it keeps telling me Retry... I don't know why. Any ideas on how I can resolve this challenge. It's too frustrating 

I am following a tutorial and my bend is behaving strangely. I set the start and end to receive the desired effect and I set the rotation with keyframes, when the shape turns, it breaks completely and I cannot use the bend as I would like. I noticed that the start does not follow the shape and stays in the same place. How can I fix this, and why doesn't the Grow bounds work? 

Hello,I’ve had a version of After Effects installed on my computer for some time now, and it has always worked perfectly until a few weeks ago. Since then, a blank black screen has replaced my compositions, regardless of the project I open. I’ve tried finding solutions on forums, but nothing has worked. I’ve uninstalled almost all of my software to avoid compatibility issues, changed versions of After Effects, reinstalled new drivers for my graphics card and processor… but still nothing.I’ve restarted the software while resetting my preferences and even launched it in safe mode with Ctrl+Shift+Alt, but no improvement. Finally, I’ve tried changing the preview settings by toggling between Mercury GPU/CPU settings, but still no success.I’m quite worried as I can’t seem to find a solution. If it helps, I’ve noticed that when I enable “full screen” in the preview settings, I experience significant display bugs but still no visual output of my scenes.If you know of a solution, I’d great

Not really sure whats going on but I have several different mp4 files on my computer all downloaded through the same method but a select few of the files I downloeded more recently, turn into mp3's when I put them into the compisition. This used to only happen with 1/8 of my files but now every new file I download and import into After Effects turns into an MP3 and I'm not sure what to do. The MP4's play fine on any media player app I have but the second I place them into the timeline the video dissapears but the audio remains. Please help.

So lately I have a problem with after effects. When I open a old project or make a new one, I can't see anything i have placed or place. Also when I move some of the side panels like the layer panel it glitches. I dont really know what to do and I need this program for school.

I've long been wondering about the best way to create a cloud flythrough using Adobe After Effects. Thanks to 3D layers, you can get pretty close with faking volumetric clouds. There are a lot of steps however that make it tricky to get right.   First we need some images of clouds. I opted to use Adobe Firefly for its generative AI based on Adobe Stock. This got me a lot of useful cloud images, but as the Adobe's AI does not allow for transparent backgrounds, I then needed to open the each image into Photoshop. For the wispy clouds, I was able to use the Red Channel as a layer mask to remove the blue backgrounds. For the fluffy clouds, I used the new Remove Background option in Photoshop to cut out each cloud. This wasn't perfect for my needs though, so I then used a trick where I was able to decrease the selection outline to crop or trim each image.   Once I had all my images, I started in After Effects by creating a precomp which allowed me to collectively manage all the

I have tried every combo with my Dell Precision 3551 - usually on a USB keyboard I can easily shift frames with ALT+PG UP or maybe ALT+SHIFT+PG UP I forget. But on laptop keyboard, there is no way, I tried using the FN key, I tried with num lock on/off and with FN key, is there a workaround?  Same with the simple SHIFT+PG UP to move 10 frames... no luck.
