Hola, quise descargar After Effects desde mi cuenta con suscripción y me encontré con la sorpresa de que me pone que "Mi sistema es incompatible" Pense que era por tener la ultima version de Windows 10, por lo tanto, hace 1hs formateé y me instale el Windows 11 ultima version, la cual en los requerimientos de After Effects dice que funciona, y ni aún así me deja descargarlo, necesito ayuda urgente porfavor! 

This is a collaboration with a youtuber NJM Photo who has been using a motion control to film models with amazing results. We've worked together to create an action sequence set in the Briar Patch from Star Trek: Insurrection. The Enterprise enters the Briar Patch, passes through some nebula clouds, is attacked by the So'Na before coming about to strike back. It was a fun sequence to create and you can see the results here: https://youtu.be/6ZNjEqVNQtc   In the tutorial, after explaining how this video came about, I start by using the rotobrush tool to cut out the Enterprise from the blue background. Then I use this as a Track Matte for the beauty pass shot. This cuts out the starship but removes any concerns over spill. Next I take the lighting pass and use the Levels effect to darken the background and brighten the lights, before separating the nacelles to enhance them further with a glow. Once that's done, I then demonstrate how you can use the Camera Tracker to determin

Unfortunately 23.0 did not fix the issue for me on my M1 mac. It still only renders 2 frames at a time and gives the same error. If I revert back to version 22.4 it works perfectly but any subsequent update (including the 23.0 just released) has the playback issue.Update: version 24.0 working much better!I had various results with updates 23.1-23.6, most of them still occasionally having the issue saying it's out of memory or even black frames when rendering. It didn't matter if I had all plugins removed, fresh install, and no other programs running. I just updated to v24.0 and instantly started working like it used to before v23.0. RAM previews are loading right away and playing back in realtime speeds. I'll update if anything changes but so far they seem to have fixed the issues plaguing v23+ at least for me.

Hello,I need help with an assignment on After Effect, I would like to make text appear on a video where a woman is diving. A wave serves as a transition and can be found underwater while we follow the woman diving.  I would like the text to be revealed while we follow her underwater. I tried to do a tracking but it shows me "analysis failed" because not enough target points I suppose.  Could someone please help me? I can't attach the video in question, but I hope it will be enough... Thank you for your answers

Hello, how can I make a smooth looping animation without abruptly stopping at the second second, as you can see after the end of the second second, there is a microsecond where it abruptly stops, how can this be fixed? https://youtu.be/9zChdOwzYl4

Hello, While exporting a mogrt template a pop-up message I'd never seen before came up (see attachments). Basically, the person receiving the template I made needs to have After Effects installed in order to use it, or the mogrt won't work.   Does anyone have a solution for this or is this what making templates in After Effects will be like in the future?  Thank you!   

I've been using After Effects for doing motion tracking and compositing for years now. Today, the colorful tracking dots arent showing up after i pressed track camera but whenever i hover over the shot, lots and lot of red targets show up. i went to "track point size" and "target size" and increased those numbers significantly and still those colorful tracking points arent showing up on my shot. but the minute that I right click on the red target and choose "create solid and camera" all of a sudden the colorful tracking points show up then (See attached screenshot). i need the tracking points to show up BEFORE I press "create solid and camera", so then i go into After Effects beta to see if the issue exists there, and when I do a track camera on the exact same shot (exact same timecodes) it tells me "analysis solve failed" the first few times. once i play with the parameters it stops saying analysis failed but doesnt give me any visual tracking points. so then i quit out of beta, accep

Hi, all~Suppose there is a scenario like this: One layer in the AE composition consists of 30 frames of images. I want to accelerate the playback of images from frames 1 to 10, and slow down the playback of images from frames 20 to 30. Which APIs of the AE SDK plugin can be used to achieve similar effects?

I have a timelapse that I've stabilized using manual stabilizing trackers. I render it with lossless settings, then try to put it back into AE and use Warp Stabilizer to do some final stabilizing, but it won't initialize. It'll be stuck at frame 1 of x at 0% if I'm lucky. Otherwise, it gets stuck at the "Initializing" stage. I've tried the obvious and reinstalled the software, disabled multi-frame rendering, cleared all caches, and reset preferences. It's not a corrupt project because I've tried repeating this with different projects and different footage. Same issue.Computer specs: Windows 11, 32 GB ram,  AMD Radeon 6700, my computer is super fast. Performance isn't the issue. There are no spikes in processing power or ram usage.Suggestions?I have projects I need to finish and I've been desperately looking for a solution for over 2 months now, Adobe customer support hasn't been useful. Sincerely appreciate the help. attached are pictures for context of what I'm doing

I started lessons at the Adobe site Bloom Bubblegum, Effects Fire Planet, Koala Tea Cafe, Make It Mooove, Shape Design, and Soda Promo. Now I can not find the links on Adobe website to continue them. Any help is much appreciated.

I've started using Adobe After Effects for the first time for a course. I'm having problems when I use it on my home computer. When I play back my animation (space bar), after a few seconds the entire screen will turn black, as if the monitor has been turned off. After a second or a few seconds, the screen will stop being black and I will see my animation (and the rest of the screen display), then after a few seconds it will go black again. It will keep flicking back and forth like this until I stop the animation (space bar). How do I fix this so I can do my work at home? What I'm using: Adobe After EffectsVersion 22.5.0 (Build 53)6% used of 7.9 GB429 Plug-ins PC SPECS:Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400T CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHzInstalled RAM: 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable)System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorWindows Edition Windows 10 Home, Version 21H1

I have a client who needs me to maintain an older Mojave system, on which I was running After Effects 2020. I've been doing this for years, paying for the service for years (despite the fact that I used to pay for a permanent licence.) Now I've had to reinstall Mojave, and I'm being told that I no longer have access to an installer. I'm sorry, but what have I been paying for EVERY month? You've raised for monthly fee to $70, almost double where we started, and you're telling me that you I can't have the thing that, for me, I'm actually paying for. Not only that, but when I used to log on, I used to be able to see all the permanant licences that I've paid for in previous years. (Because I could probably install an even older version onto this system). But I see that you've purged that information from my profile, and I no longer have those serial numbers.    This is really an infuriating situation. I always liked Adobe, which is one reason that I've paid the monthly fee and ha

Hi, I was opening After Effects CC2020 for the first time, and it won't open because it hangs/gets stuck on 'Initializing Mediacore." I've uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as restarted multiple times. I have a Macbook Pro, and any help is appreciated. 🙂   Title edited by Mod.

This isn't a criticism but more of a general observation about the stresses of colour management, particularly now that we're all having to get our heads around ACES etc. I've been doing graphics for 20 years, I'm good at maths and have a degree in AI. I'm a nerdy designer. But I basically have no idea what I'm doing in the sea of confusing acronyms and unintuitive working spaces. I'm pretty much pressing random buttons till it works. Despite being a bit of a nerd, I think graphics should be more art than science, and I can't imagine what people are going through who wouldn't call themselves nerds. I have no idea how you'd make it simpler and more intuitive, all those drop down menus filled with lists of bizarre acronyms seem necessary, but there's got to be an easier way, hasn't there?  

After working in a project and saving a couple times like normal, it will start to say it can't rename the current project file and in the process deletes it. Ae stays open, and I have to hit "save as" and just use the same name to write the project file back into file explorer. Never had this issue before the last couple days, and the only thing different about this project that I haven't used in a while is rotoscoping. It's doing it in 4 different projects that have rotoscoped Prores 422HQ 4k files. Luckily "save as" works and Ae doesn't crash, because deleting the project file like that is quite concerning. Auto saves are working just fine. I am working off a server, but no other project files are having this issue. By the error message (attached), it looks like it can't rename whatever the temp save file is to the main project name. But it's sporadic when it does this. System info    Application: After Effects v23.5.0.52    OS: Windows v

I have a semi complex idea that I am trying to work out. I am not very good at expressions/scripting after effects, so bare with me as I try to explain this. I will provide the project file as well so that you can check it out and hopefully help me with this. So I am trying to make a mouth shape rig for character lip-syncing animation. I have 15 different mouth shapes, that I created in illustrator, that all use the same amount of shapes, with each shape using the same amount of vertices between all 15 mouths.The shapes are -Lips (a stroked path, 8 vertices)Top Teeth (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Top Gums (a filled shape, 5 vertices)Tongue (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Bottom Teeth (a filled shape, 8 vertices)Bottom Gums (a filled shape, 5 vertices)Throat (a filled shape, 8 vertices) I am using the "Throat" as a mask for all of the other shapes, excluding the "Lips". The "Lips" and "Throat" have nulls connected to each vertice, and the "throat" will be a mask for all of the other

I'm implementing an effect that has a layer parameter and blends the image from that layer with the layer that the effect is applied on:- The effect is applied on LayerA which is 1920x1080- The effect's layer parameter is set to LayerB which is 800x600 Everything works except that the image coming through the layer parameter (LayerB) is always positioned at the top left corner of LayerA, regardless of where I positioned LayerB in the composition. When I call checkout_layer() during PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE_RENDER, the returned result_rect rectangle has the correct dimentions (800x600) but the top and left fields are always set to zero, regardless where I positioned LayerB. Interestingly, if I create a Shape layer instead of importing an image from disk, I observe that checkout_layer() returns correct values for top and left fields of result_rect and I get the result that I expect. What do I need to do to get the position of a layer pa

Would you like to use spare computers on your network to drastically speed up the process of rendering After Effects compositions? It's not only possible, it's a supported technology. See these articles for more information about how to render faster using multiple computers.   Adobe: Automated rendering and network rendering Toolfarm: In Depth: Render Farms / Network Rendering / Distributed Rendering
