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?

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.

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.
