Questions

The Easing expression graph editor UI seems to have been updated from the U curce to a bunch of confusing AF s-curves and now I have no clue how to navigate it. Sometimes I can't even edit the velocity of the easing transitions. What's happened and why is there no tutorial on how it now works??If anyone else has noticed the update, please help! I've got some mad deadlines to meet this wekeend.

Hi,I have a video from my new sony a6500 in 4k resolution, but after adding some color grading in after effects when i try to render it with Quicktime format and h264 compression it gives the warning for downscaling the video resolution to ~2k. I read that that is the limit h264 can handel the resolutions. But is there any other compression which can help me render the 4k video which i smooth in playing.PS : i tries animation but it was too leggy to play.Regards

He tenido problemas para importar imágenes PNG a After Effects. Utilizo la versión 25.1, y cada vez que quiero importar imágenes en PNG para animar una secuencia, no se importa como debería. ¿Cómo puedo solucionarlo? Saludos. 

Hello, The company I work for uses After Effect 22.4 for templating and I would need version 22.4 to work without breaking templates. How can I download it because ADOBE won't give me this version ?

When editing the Red metadata settings for R3D footage (Interpret Footage > More Options > ) in AE 2019, you can click "Save Preset" and those settings will be available under the dropdown at the top right. To be clear, I don't mean saving an RMD file in the R3D's folder. These presets seem to be saved and managed by AE.Where are these presets saved to?I have searched for the names of the presets and can't find anything.The presets aren't embedded into the project file itself because they are available in any project after saved.It would be nice to access these so they can be sent to/used on another machine. Case in point: if someone is grading R3D footage with hard drive copy B of the footage, and then someone with hard drive copy A of the R3D footage needs to work on that shot, they would need to be sent the generated/saved .RMD files and then place each of those .RMD files into the appropriate folders (a mild nightmare if there are a lot of shots). If the AE "internal" saved p

Im wanting to create an L shape in the corner of a video with rounded edges in a glass morphism style, however when I turn the graphics layer into an adjustment layer the inside corner of the L disapears. anyone have any ideas how one could fix this problem?

Ey que version y como puedo bajar la version Sonoma de After ! No puedo instalar 😕😕

Hi everyone,I've been using this expression and it works great, think it was created by Ukramedia but I'm not sure. It adds points to long numbers between every group of three digits.I have a vague idea how it works, but I would love a literal 'translation' from someone experienced. This is the expression: num = value; function addCommas(x) {return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");}addCommas(num) I focus particularly on the the part from ".replace" onward. I  know the B has something to do with the (right-side) boundary of what follows behind it, a digit, and then there's a negation ("not followed by digit) and then the global replacement of something (must be the specific position between the three-digit groups) with a comma.Very fuzzy summarized, as you can see. What exactly does this line of code sound like in sequential commands? 

So this is just a random thing that's bugged me for a while and I assume there's probably something I don't know that I should... I generally try to avoid using Nulls, Solids, and Adjustment layers in favor of doing the same job with shape layers instead. As far as I can tell, shape layers can do everything these layers can do and more, plus they don't clutter up my bins with unnecessary assets. So I’m wondering why they need to exist at all? And if there’s any difference between the 3? An adjustment layer seems to just be a solid with the adjustment layer toggle on. And a null seems to just be a smaller solid with 0% opacity. I can see how this might save time instead of creating a solid and then making those small changes to get the same result, but why not just make them all from shape layers instead? The odd time I do use nulls is generally when I'm using the generate nulls from paths script, which in a recent project generated 60 nulls. of which I replaced nulls 2-60 wit

I recently got After Effects and motion blur has not been working ever since I installed it. I am clicking the right button for motion blur in the timeline and it isn't working. I checked the composition settings and the shutter angle is at 180 and the shutter phase is at -90 and still no luck. The CC force motion blur and the Pixel motion blur are not working either. I wonder if it's because I am using a Mac. any solutions?

Hi community!  I'm running into an issue with this property. I'm sure this is an easy fix but I don't really understand how it works. I have a composition and I want to loop part of it, from about 2 seconds in. I applied Time Remapping, added the keyframes to the parts I want to loop and used the loopOut expression, but this only seems to delay the first frame and then squeeze the timing of the whole composition into the sections marked by the keyframes. What is the right way to do this?EDIT: I have my original composition precomped. Thank you! 

Hi there. I am quite new to using After Effects but I have saved a PNG file in Photoshop and no matter what I do, it comes out blurry in After Effects. What can I do?

Hello, I'm using the blinking cursor typewriter console effect but would like the cursor to have a different font style so that the thickness is thin. Is there a solution for this? Thank you!

Hi, I need to download Adobe After Effects 2023, but in Creative Cloud, I can only see the 2024 version. Is there an official way to access the 2023 version? Thanks in advance for your help   Title edited by Mod.

This is a old video shows creating Color Palette. I assume it shows by clicking image you can create a Color Palette of colors used in the image.  As video was done in old version, I wish know whether it is possible in new version.After Effects Simple Extension Tutorialtime 1.05-1.16   

I'm running into an issue where I can animate a rounded rectangle for a lower third but if I want to change the size for different length names, it will create a new keyframe and mess up the animation.Ideally I want to create some kind of control that will affect 1 keyframe only. Is this possible?  

Good day.Please tell me, I'm trying to write a script that will create a text layer and add a color animator there, so that I can change the color in certain words from a sentence, but every time I do this, I get a null error in the line of code where rangeSelector is used.  

When I create a AE project in Apple ARM and want to send it to my Windows PC to work on further, the file opens with an error message and then won't let me open the project (see attached picture showing error). I'm on AE Version 23.0 on both my Windows and Mac computers.  I can assume why this is an issue since migrating many things from Mac to PC is never seamless, but shouldn't AE files be editable regardless of operating systems? Just curious if this is a bug or a general issue I've never seen before, thanks!

Hey I worked with the plug in saber.Everything worked fine and it looked pretty good in the preview. But after I rendered the video, the saber plug in was not in the videoI hope anyone can help me it is really frustrating.

Under paragraph menu, there is an option to align text to the left, center or right. There is also an option to justify text.How can this me done with expressions or Extendscript?I noticed that if I set Anchor point to the top left, additional text added on the same line is left aligned. If I set anchor point to the left-center, all the lines added in the future are left justified, but current text remains as it is. Align options under paragraph don't move anchor point and also work for the text already typed.I guess you could save the text, delete it, move anchor point, paste the text back and move anchor point back where it was to achieve the same effect. But there is probably a better way?

Hi,My assistant and I intstalled AE 2023 and now have a major issue : The preview freezes after a few secondes/minutes of using the software (on both of our computers.) It's a total freeze of the preview image (the rest of the software is still responding) at a certain point in the timeline.Nothing to do but closing the software when it happens, and it happens every 30s to me currently, so it's impossible to work. GPU drivers are updated, we already tried to clear Disk caches and Database media caches. We dont know what to do. Does someone have a hint ?my specs :CPU : I7-10875RAM : 32GO DDR4GC : Nvidia RTX 2070OS :Windows 11 Pro 64bitAE  v23.2.0

Hi community. Is it possible to make these circles  1,2,3 follow the corners of these lines, where ever I position them on the canvas, they follow allong? My initial thought was draw the line animation, where the line changes shape, making zig zags and random wave shapes, and then add in the same shape 3 circle shapes, and I thought of using the pick whip to connect their position, but didnt work. Whats the best method to achieve this? Thank you.
