I want to create a script that I deploy to all AE users in the studio. In this script, there shall be a button which adds custom create Render Cue Path templates to the AE settings. I've tried to manilulate the txt containing the settings via JS, but AE refuses to reload the file despite calling app.preferences.reload(). It keeps the settings in memory from boot time, and overwrites all changes I made with JS on quite. So I tried to use the build in app.preferences.savePrefAsString(). But the data I try to edit is weirdly formatted:  ["Output File Name Template Presets Section v6"] "000" = "Kompositionsname"00"[compName].[fileExtension]"00  "000" is the key, "Kompositionname" is the name of the template and "[compName].[fileExtension]" is the path. So it's a string setting, with one key, but two string values, which the second is surrounded by two 00.I can new key, with names with app.preferences.savePrefAsString(), but how can I add my paths.An

My After Effects keeps crashing at start up saying that the memory that has been alocated is not enough. I have seen online that i need to purge my cache but I can not even enter After Effects to do that. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times and I just do not know what to do anymore. If anyone can help, that would be great 🙂

Hi, I illustrate a skeleton using custom art brush in illustrator, but after importing that into Ae it loses its origanility. I want the exact brush I used in Ai. How can I keep the brush design same into AE? Please guide me thank you. 

After effectse giriyorum hersey normal ama sonra bir video atiyorum ve projeme sürüklüyorum ama videom oynatılmıyor. Videomun sesi var fakat görüntü yerine yalnızca siyah bir ekran var. Eve gelip bilgisayarımı açtığım zaman 2025 sürümü güncellendi. Ondan sonra videolarım yerine siyah bir görsel görmeye basladım. Herseyi denedim ama yapamadım. Biri bana yardımcı olsun çünkü yapmam gereken projelerim var. Ayrıca paramda boşa gidiyor.  

After updating to AE 24.6.3, I now have the recurring situation where, when opening projects directly (double-click in Finder), the project will try to load, then hang, and eventually AE will "stop responding".After force-quitting, the error message will show problems with a ScriptUI Panel script like Ease, or other ... Disabling (removing) the script temporarily and restarting, and then opening a project on double-click will just result in another script showing as causing the error.HOWEVER : The weird thing is that when you open AE first, and import the project, it all works fine.So : Double-click project open = crash. Import project = no crash.AE 24.6.3 - MacOs Sonoma - MBP18,2 - M1 Max - 64gb

GreetingsI have a composition with several 3D elements and a camera. I would like to use the elements with XYZ coordinates to place text labels using only XY. Does anyone know how this can be done?Thanks.

Hi!Compare to last version of the After Effect this one slow down a lot. I've got a very short (5 second) animation which I can render before in less than 10 minutes with particular plugin. Now, I spend all day to fix why AE doesn't work correct with last version of particular (and to be honest I don't know what's happen but performance is fair enought to work). Still I don't know why render time increse from 10 minutes to around 1hour 30minutes right now.Also, sometimes when I change preview resolution from full or half to quarter it's stuck and I need reset AE or purge cache to get it work again.Animation is very simple, some around 7-10k particles, no more fancy effects etc.AE version 25AME version 25Particular (Red Giant) 2025.1.0 I try to reinstall particular, update a nvidia driver to newest one (studio version), but nothing help for now. Did someone have same problem now and find a solution?Cheers!

Where are my object choices for Linear Field in Cinema 4D Lite 2024.5.1 like "spherical field, box field, etc? Gee

I'm trying to figure out a way to appropriately render my output my files to a dated, and maybe hourly directory.I know how to create an expression to write the date into a "Source Text" field.//CampName and DateD = new Date(Date(0));//Today's Month+ (D.getMonth()+1) + "/"//Today's Day+ D.getDate() + "/"//Today's Year+ D.getFullYear() How can I get this expression into text blocks so I can connect it to my output path that I pipe into a "add to Ae render queue" block?As always, any input is appreciated. ---------------------------- BTW, I just wanted to again say thank you for this extension. It has literally changed how I work. I've built a system to render my projects to specific folders and name them appropriately for various outputs. It has saved me hours/days of work and changed my productivity dramatically. I'm adding and changing the system all the time and it's been a revelation. Here's a snapshot of how deep it's gotten.This supports the following dialog. (I'm c

Hello community, I run into awful problem. I have some effects (like gaussian blur) on my animation, which is in pre-comp. The 3D-animation did not work in main-comp, so I skipped it. But its got text animation on it which I cannot skip. I need to reveal the pre-comp-animation in main-comp, by using masking. The problem is, the pre-comps FXs (like the blur) do not work in main-comp when I create a mask. The FXs disappear. And they reappear when I delete the mask. I need to do the masking in main-comp. I´ve tried shape layer masking and layer masking (and inverting), and it doesn´t matter if the layer mask is on "add" or "subtract". Nothing seems to get me around this problem.There has been plenty of trouble already and this is my "plan C", or "plan D" already. I´m running out of plans. For some reason the link between main-comp and pre-comp does not work propely. Please, does anyone know, why effects won´t work with mask and is there any alternative solution?? Thank you.

We know that now Adobe no longer supports Adobe After Effect CS6. Previously we could use the trial version of Adobe After Effect CS6 for free for 30 days. We can download it on the official Adobe website, but now Adobe no longer provides a download link. However, I got the trial version of Adobe After Effect CS6 on the internet a few months ago. Can I use the trial version of Adobe After Effect CS6 in 2024? Is it legal?. I only use the trial version for 30 days (without crack, without piracy), because I can't afford the latest Adobe After Effect CC.Is there an official Adobe employee who can answer my question?

Without opening another new thread. I just opened a 24 project that uses the 'counter countdown monospaced' preset.The expressions are screwed up!  I added the new 'preset' from 25 but that also has a glitch.In standard mode, if you keyframe a number from 900,000 to 2 500 000. It will jump from 999,999 to 2000000 and skip the 1 million.

just noticed my duplicate later keep shifting when i link layer to hero layer. tried on simple comp and i can repeat, so reporting as bug. when i link a layer with non-unifrom scale and rotation, the child layer rotate and scale to change shape. when i unlink from the parent, it deforms again and won't change back to original shape. system:MacStudio M2 Ultra128GB rammacOS Ventura 13.6.6AfterEffects 24.5.0  

I updatetd my mac with the last MacOs Sequoia 15.0.1 (24A348) and i have some issues with preview and common crashes, i don't know if i should do a downgrade of the mac os or change in an after effects different version that is more stable. P.S. i have 36gb of ram so no problems on that i think.

I often shoot real estate videos and struggle with blown-out highlights from windows during editing. I recently saw a video with perfectly exposed interiors and windows—here's the link, check out 0:33: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRaVZ0LUKLw I’d love to replicate that effect. I suspect they used a slider and shot two takes: one for the interior and one for the windows. My challenge is blending those clips together. I’m not very experienced with After Effects, but I think an exposure mask and tracking might work. Any suggestions?

How can I change the color settings of multiple compositions?How can I set a specific work area (e.g., 0-5 seconds) in the timeline for all compositions?How can I choose a specific resolution/down-sample factor (e.g., quarter, half, full) in the selected composition?How can I turn off motion blur in the selected composition?

How to off Toggle Transparency Grid in selected composition?

How to turn on and off (Fast Preview > Off (Final Quality)/Adaptive Resolution) in multiple selected compositions?How to unlock all layers in a selected composition?

I need to export a very wide Quicktime animation video that is 28,576px x 64px. Every time I export the video, it is black and there is also no preview. It does export as an MP4 but it automatically changes the width to 16384 × 64. I can't figure out how to even make a MP4 that is 28,576px x 64px. Any ideas why?

I'm animating a simple stroke with some tapering and some glow - and seeing the way the stroke tapers is not smooth at all. I've tried using Saber as well, and same results. Is there a better method for creating a smooth/seamless tapered stroke? See attached images for example - the tapered end steps down very obviously vs. a smooth taper....
