When I press Reset on my effect control, a PF_Cmd_USER_CHANGED_PARAM is sent for each parameter. However, when doing Undo, the parameter is changed in the UI, but I do not get any "notification". I have an object instance that should be kept synchronized AE parameters and I do not know how to do. For example, this object instance is used to determine other parameters visibility, i.e. if checkbox A is checked, slider B and C should be enabled, if A is unchecked, B and C should be disabled.A popup could also be used to populate other float sliders. Could I get some notification using Undo groups ? or should I manually resynchronize my object with AE parameters at each PF_Cmd_UPDATE_PARAMS_UI call ?

The problem I've been facing is when my adjustment layer has effects added to it that makes a distortion or something under footage or effects, it sets it in the middle of the screen and the effect doesn't follow the position of the footage or effect. Some examples of the effects are:Displacement mapChromatic displacementCompound blurand more... This is very important because I am a VFX editor and I need this to work for my videos.

Yesterday I updated from AE 24.0.3 to 25.4 and it will not open projects from just the day before. A friendly Adobe support person took control of the workstation and verified many system settings; tried importing the project into a new project; tried disabling, then removing, all plugins. It still did not work.After about 45 minutes the support person said it might be a problem opening projects containing MXF files. Note that I am able to start a new project and import MXF files with no problem. It is only with these existing projects that AE crashes when the "Opening Selected Items" window appears.  The support person said he would accelerate the issue to the team.Someone called me a few hours later from an unknown caller ID and I did not pick up. He left a voicemail saying he was Adobe calling me back about the problem. I called back this morning but it went to voicemail identifying it as "Adobe Sales" and no human ever picked up.I have rolled back to 24.0.3 and everything

I can't move (position) the null object that the camera is linked to, and when I change the position coordinates, the x,y,z axes in my comp don't change, they seem to be displayed statically.how can I make the null object lie on the comp like in the third image, instead of just being a square on the comp?

I have tried to use keylight on a subject before with no green bouncing on them and they always have this weird noise on their solid color non-green clothes.  Is there a way to fix this with another plug in?

Hey developers.... I'm facing this problem for a week now. I dunno the reason of this problem, when I add ''Magic bullet looks'' Plug-in my AE will crash, I swear It was working perfectly fine before. 

I'm used to having problems with After effects when it comes to Arabic. But, this used to be fixed by going to  After effects/preferences/Type and choose /south Asian and middle east Now this doesn't exist when I go to <type> Any ideas how to fix this?  

Hello everyone !I was trying to animate my logo in After Effect. When I turned on 3D on the layers, I got a display error on one of the layers. I'm not sure why, but a black frame appears around the image on one of the layers. I think black represents transparency. Take a look at the attached screenshot. This isn't the first time this has happened. The last time it happened was in the previous version of After Effect.Is there an option I can enable in the GPU's Nvidia panel ? Thanks. 

I duplicated and flipped a path horizontal to mirror the original. When I copy the path of the flipped path and paste it to the position of my new shape layer, it just follows along the original unflipped path instead of the flipped one. Does anyone know how I can get my shape layer to follow along a path that has been flipped horizontal?

Hopefully a wonderful guru out there can help me. I created a video and it looks and plays fine in After Effects. However, when I render it (using Media Encoder as well as Render Queue) it is disregarding a layer or two. I have never had this happen before and of course I'm creating a sample video for a project at work. Any ideas on what this could be. Thanking you in advance. 

I'm rigging a character up and trying to crop in on one of the limbs. I've selected the region of interest. The composition box is selected. When I go to Composition drop down "Crop Comp to Region of Interest" is not available. It is grayed out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Please help.

Hello Friends,can someone help me ,thank you !i have this timeline in premiere and when i import to after effects there is space between clipsi made sure and checked there's 0 space in premiere  

I'm trying to apply the trim paths effect to quite a complex illustrator comp made up of multiple layers/objects.When I first gave it a go I experienced the issue many other people have faced of it trimming/revealing the fill of a layer. So, I went back to the illustrator comp and changed EVERY layer so it had no fill and just a stroke (this was a long process), only to discover that this did not resolve the issue once I took it back into AE and tried again. Can anyone help as I'm invested in this now and don't want to give up!

Hi all,When I take a simple image, actor's face, and use rotobrush 2.0 , it outlines it just fine, but......  (always a but)...The very first frame is ripply. The rotobrush doesn't look good until the 2nd frame.I start the rotobrush on the first frame, and I do a little tester, so the settings appear, and I select "quality best" prior to doing the full outline.I'm still on frame one...I do a full rotobrush and as always, the first frame stinks, the 2nd one is nice, as well as all others to the end.I can't figure this one out.  Please tell me I don't have reinstall the entire program for this type of glitch. 😞 Here is an example  (it's doing it for other clips as well.) First frame:  (top of actor's head) note:  it's all ripply Then the 2nd frame to the end... it looks fine: I made sure the 'caps lock' is off, caz I know AE is alergic to that button.Using standard DV clips, latest AE version, 32gb ram, 1050ti gpu, Ryzen 7.&n

What is the key to replacing footage so that the .png is in the same position as before (more or less).For example: replacing pants on a character with a newer version.

I purchased Element 3d a couple of months ago, but since a recent adobe after effects update, it no longer is shown in the effects panel. I already reinstalled it, but it's still missing. How can I fix this error?Thanks for helping! 

Hi All, I work in After Effects to make MOGRTs for every video series my company produces. Before the latest update, I could drag and drop photos or logos from my timeline to the AE Essential Graphics panel, making them replaceable assets for our editors to update for each video. All they had to do was click the hamburger menu in Premiere and select "Replace from Finder." Now, the option to do so (or to do anything with the replaceable file) is greyed out.  To make them work again, I cleared all properties, recreated them, and reexported the MOGRTs in the latest version of AE. The issue persists. I currently have about three templates and ten files within those templates that are affected. We produce 5-10 videos a month affected by this change. Would love to fix the issue quickly so that I can continue using and building out our CC libraries. Thanks!

I'm working with a JPEG image sequence, and have deleted frames frames at various points before bringing them into AE. Instead of skipping the missing frames, AE renders missing media frames in place of the ones I deleted, instead of just skipping them. Is there a way around this without having to manually rename all of the images so there are no missing numbers?Thanks,Molgaard

I'm in a fortunate position that my work is going to buy me a new high-end laptop, either Dell or Lenovo. The Dell XPS 16 has an RTX 4070, which from what I find online is better than the RTX 3000 Ada in the Lenovo P16 Gen 2. But the Lenovo can expand to 96GB RAM, the Dell to 64GB. They have the same processor, so that's even. Some of the other differences (weight, keyboard) are not a factor for me, I'm just at a point of reading so much about these machines that I'm in analysis paraylsis with this RAM vs. GPU thing.For my use, I do a lot of AE projects with including Element 3D, Particular, and the VFX Suite from Maxon. I don't anticipate getting into Blender or Unreal 3D work. My PPro work isn't typically super complicated with tons of layers of high res footage, but since I have this opportunity for a new laptop would like to future proof as best I can.I know both of these are nice machines and would do a good job. Thoughts on which way to go? Or other laptops I should consider?&nbs

Hello, I have a fairly niche use case, but I use automation blocks to run macros from my stream deck, utilising Bitfocus Companion and HTML commands.  I have a couple of kbar actions that I would like to trigger from my streamdeck. Is there a way I can launch a kbar action from inside automation blocks? Thank you. 

Recently while trying to create a team project, I was trying to collect files but the option was faded out on the files tab and I couldn't complete the action.Can anyone tell me what happened and how I might be able to fix it. Also on that point, can someone please give me a step by step on how to even share my project to my collaborators. Thank you.

As you'll see, top image is of the logo clean, bottom has the effect applied to the whole thing. I just want it on the logo layer. 

I have a layer with a car, and I have another Null layer with a speed controller that has manually placed keyframes. I want to control the car position according to those speed keyframes, i.e. accumulate traveled distance. For example, if the spped values on the first 5 frames are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then positions should be 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. I wrote this script and it works as intended: sourceLayer = thisComp.layer("Null 1"); currentFrame = timeToFrames(); sum = 0; for(i = 0; i <= currentFrame; i++) { sum += sourceLayer.effect("speed")("Slider").valueAtTime(framesToTime(i)); } sum This becomes very inefficient as currentFrame increases. In reality I need some kind of persistent across frames storage, so I could just add one value to it every frame. Is that possible to do in Ae scripting system?

Hi, could someone suggest a way to get global rotation of a text layer when an animator acts on it? In After Effects, when working with expressions, its boundbox does not work correctly if the layer is rotated by the animator. I want to try to get information through creating a plugin, but I need a kick of help
