Hi all,About a hundred times a day I select a work area and then want to zoom in so that the work area fills the timeline view. Have searched high and low and can't find a way to easily do this (keyboard shortcut or otherwise), It seems like such an obvious thing people would want to do, so I'm hoping I just haven't found the shortcut. Can anybody help me out?Thanks in advance,Lori

Hi After Effects Community,I’ve been encountering a frustrating issue when trying to transfer my video edits between Adobe After Effects and CapCut. I often work on complex edits and animations in After Effects, and then share the projects with collaborators who use other video editing platforms like CapCut. However, I’ve noticed that many of the effects and transitions I create in After Effects don’t translate properly or are outright missing when the video is imported into CapCut. I'm sharing the URL also of the version of capcut I used.URL: https://capcetapk.com/capcut-for-pc/

Every time I start AfterEffects I get an error as it's looking to find my recent projects.  The error is as follows:  "Unable to execute script at line 1. File or folder does not exist."  I have not changed the location of any of my project files.  It's the same external drives I've been using for months.  When I click OK the same window opens several more times and then finally the history window opens completely blank and empty.  I am able to reopen the projects however from the RECENT PROJECTS pulldown in the top bar.  It's very odd and worrying behavior.  As well, I'm still using 13.7.2 because when I go to update it is unable to connect and gives me that error.  I sat on with Adobe support for an hour today and we couldn't figure it out.  As I'm in the middle of big projects I just decided to not update, but this error upon startup is very worrying.  Anyone have an idea what could be going wrong or how I can fix it?Many thanks

I have been using After Effects for a work project to rotoscope out some people from footage provided to me and I have done this process 6 times now but all of a sudden with this file, when I start to render and when viewing the file after rendering, the rotoscope effect is essentially disabled. The only signs that something is being rotoscoped is some small, transparent gaps in the final render. Images and export settings attached. I'm not sure what is going wrong here since I have done this many times, even a restart hasn't fixed it, help very much appreciated, thank you!

Bonjour, Je suis désespérée...Lorsque je crée un texte sous after (v23.3 maj) et que j'écris des chiffres, la barre d'écriture passe à l'avant du texte et je ne peux plus écrire à la suite... Si je rajoute du texte il passe devant les chiffres ! Je ne sais même pas comment expliquer ça tellement c'est suréaliste... Par exemple je tape 1,3 Kg mais after m'affiche Kg 1,3 à l'écran alors que sur le nom de mon calque j'ai bien 1,3 kg !!!! Je ne comprends pas du tout ce qu'il peut se passer... Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu ce bug? Merci de votre aide !

I've read lots of help topics trying to solve this and can't. I regularly get videos to edit or add subtitles to supplied as a .mov file, but within After Effects and when I export it looks faded like I've added a filter. I often don't notice this until the client comments, and then have to add Lumetri filters, and there's never one approach that will solve it (it starts to look to yellow or too pink when I just increase the contrast and saturation), so it can take a long time to fix. My Project Color Setting is 'None', I've tried a few others and all look worse. What can I do to avoid this happening, or solve it every time?  The screenshot shows how it looks in Preview, and it looks ovbiously faded and dull in After Effects. This is before any edits. Sometimes (like this case) there are sections with white copy, so I don't have the ability to add a tint as that makes the copy the wrong colour.

Hi, Everyboby~I have developed a plugin using the AE plugin SDK, but if the same plugin is applied to multiple layers of the same composite, there may be data conflicts and confusion. How can I solve this problem

Is there a way I can connect anchor point from two different paths, and thereby join the paths together like I can in Illustrator? E.g. I'd like to join the two in the screengrab where they are crossing over. I can't seem to do that just by selecting the pen tool and clicking the relevant anchor points.

Hi, I'm having issues with After Efects running on a macbook pro. The application freezes at different times, for example, when moving a keyframe, or adjusting the spatial interpolation, adding an effect, etc. This freeze locks up my whole computer and forces a computer restart. I have tried deleting all plug ins, preferences, and starting in safe mode. All these efforts do not fix the issue. Any ideas?

I recently encountered a persistent error in After Effects that I’d like to share for both assistance and to inform Adobe of a potential improvement area.The initial error message was:"After Effects: Memory allocation of 2.1 GB exceeds internal limits. Decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame. (12802). For more information, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_mem."After clicking 'OK', a second error appeared:“Image buffers of size [width]x[height] @ [depth] bpc ([n] GB) exceed internal limits...”This created an error loop, repeatedly alternating between these two messages. The core issue was that this loop made it impossible to adjust settings to reduce memory usage as advised.Complicating matters, the project saved in this error state. So, upon reopening, I was immediately faced with the same error loop, preventing any attempt to implement the suggested fixes.Fortunately, I discovered a workaround. By rapidly hitting 'ESC' and skillfully alt-clicking the bpc button d

When editing shape layer using Shape properties and transform some issues occur: 1. In Shape Properties when sizing the shape the center of transform is in the center of the object ignoring the anchor point position.2. In Shape Transform when adjusting Anchor Point the shape moves instead of anchor point.3. To change the shape from Rectange or any other predefined shapes to editable curve it always takes few clicks until the option becomes available under right click mouse button. Ideally this option should be available anytime when right clicking the predefined shape.

Hey there! I am very bad with expressions, but let me try and verbalize my idea here.  I'm looking to essentially create a template for a project where a lens flare will fade in quickly as it passes over a layer of text, fading out between letters. It would need to be something that can be dynamic in the sense that I can change the text layer to anything I want, but the lens flare will show up as it moves past the text. An example would be: I have a sunrise matted behind text, and as the sun shines through, the lens flare appears in the foreground in front of the text, but disappears as the sun goes between the letters. The background is black to paint a bit of a picture there.  Hoping this is something I can do instead of manually changing the opacity for every export I'll need to do. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

When a third party plugin is selected in the Effect Control Window), all mouse events appear to be handled by the third-party plug-in for its own on-screen controls. In this scenario, if I switch to the hand cursor to pan around the frame, it doesn’t work! Presumably, if the events are going to the third-party effect they cannot ALSO be handled by AE for it own functionality.  There are at least two good solutions to this problem:1) Any time the user switches to the hand cursor, disable third-party on-screen controls and thus allow the user to pan around the frame as usual. As soon as the user switches back to the arrow cursor, give control back to the third-party plugin. 2) As long as the third-party effect title is selected in the Canvas, disallow anything but the default arrow cursors. Allow the third-party plugin to capture events, change the cursor to whatever it wants, etc. Either one of those two are acceptable to users/developers. 1 is probably a better UX.&
