Questions

I just got this screenshot from my colleague who uses After Effects in his work. Seems like After effects is trying to collect some location data but it can't since the corresponding Windows service is off. So why does AE want to know where my friend is? 

Whenever I select rotobrush, it's just not working, behaving like the same selection tool. Please anyone help me!

I have textures in a folder next to the C4D object and they should work, how can I link them? 

I'm having issues launching After Effects of any version (24.6.3 & 25.0) as well as in Safe Mode. It finishes loading after the initial splash screen, but stops and freezes after loading the window (white screen). Attached is a visual of what appears on my end. I'm used to slow-er load in times, but I've let it wait to "load" for 10 minutes and nothing changes. When attempting to close the program, it also gets stuck trying to recover my information. No third-party plugins are installed, and launching in safe mode produces the same results. 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1255U 1.70 GHz16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) RAM64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

When I am playing back a composition in 2025 after effects the screen will go black intermittently. I have tried all the fixes that worked previously, making sure that it is full screen, essential graphics composition and it is still happening. I do not have ANY plugins. My only issue that will hopefully be resolved soon is my RAM space. When I am running AE I have to make sure that all other Adobe apps are closed and I am constantly having to purge my cache.... If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.Thanks!

Not sure if this is the place to upload - but I haven't find any other place.I have recently begun learning AE plugin programming and been studying using projects based on the Skeleton project from the SDK. While I was training - suddenly the references became unavailable (while actually working) and even when I tried to open a new Skeleton project It was still like that.  Not sure if It's a problem with the SDK / Visual Studio itself.Anyone here expereienced anything similar?

Ola.Os atalhos recomendados pelo After Effects nao funcionam no meu teclado.Já troquei o teclado e ainda assim não funciona! Então fiz a atualizacao do Windows 11 Pro e continua não fucnionando!Preciso de ajuda!!!  

When the deep glow is on, the animation behaves weirdly, when turned off it acts normally. Why is this? How do I fix it?

I've converted BG, FG and the sub ayer into 3d, and added a cam layer and a null object as u can see. Placed them accurately. But why the camera movement animation is not showing? Only the cam movement I'm seeing, no animation! Please Help Me!

So Here I am trying to edit an after effect template. the issue I'm facing is that when I use any of the template original 16:9 compostion inside my 4:5 aspect ratio compostion, I don't know why but the borders/edges of the layer gets cut off. I don't seem to understand why this is happening as I just entered in this field. I am attaching screenshots of both the original template composition, and the 4:5 compostion which I am trying to create.  Any helps would be appreciated.  

Bonjour à tous ! Je suis actuellement en train de travailler sur une animation after affect, mais je rencontre un problème.Lors de l'importation de mes fichiers Illustrator, un me complique la tâche.Pour les importer je fais Fichiers > Importer > Fichiers > Je selectionne mon fichier > Avant le cliquer sur importer je change "Importer sous" en mettant "Compositions - Garder la taille des calque" et aussi "créer une compositions".Pour tous mes fichiers illustrator ça fonctionne nickel, sauf pour un "enfant 6". La composition fais environ 0.10s, quand j'entre dans la composition impossible de changer la taille du calque car en fait ce n'est pas un calque mais on dirait des icônes de JPG mais indiqué en .ai Je comprend rien, aidez moi svp !Merci d'avance !

I've got a comp that is 23.976. I'm trying to slip my "Work" comp one frame from frame 1000 to 1001. I make a "set attribute>start time" block set to The problem is that I get nothing. The frame seems to be just a fraction beyond frame 1001. When I click the In Frame of my Work Comp and hit Ok with 1001. I get exactly the expected result. I'm guessing that this is a conversion between time and frames. I really wish I could "Set Time In" as frames rather than time, but I seem unable to do so. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you as always.

Bonjour,Existe-t-il un moyen (avec ou sans pluggin) de réaliser un nuage de phrases dans After Effects ? J'ai testé plusieurs solutions (y compris gratuites en ligne) qui permettent de réaliser des nuages de mots mais jamais de phrases.Merci d'avance si vous pouvez m'aider...!

Cant seem to get the audio to go past the blue line? How can I resize the boundaries, without resizing or messing with the audio spectrum circle?

I've created a perfect cube using 6 3D solid layers in After Effects. Everything looks fine when using the 'Cinema 4D' and 'Advanced 3D' renderers, but when I switch to the 'Classic 3D' renderer, I start seeing artifacts around the edges of the cube. (See attached images: first two are fine, last one shows the artifacts).Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any tips on how to fix the artifacts in 'Classic 3D'? Thanks in advance.

 When I bought a CC off youtube, i tried to drag it into my adjustment layer and it says this. Can anyone help ?

The Burst Pop effect isn't animating for me and it's driving me crazy. I know I can recreate the effect by hand, but it would save me a bunch of time if I could just use the effect. When I drop the effect into an empty composition, keyframes appear under the new shape layer and the "Burst Animate" values change when I move the playhead over them, but the actual shape stays the same. I'm stuck with a static burst. In addition, when I make adjustments to the value or add keyframes to the "Burst Animate" effect control, nothing happens.All other effect controls (that don't affect the animation) seem to be working as intended, except for "Burst Stroke Width" randomly, which also does nothing.I went into all of the expressions under the different effect controls and noticed a couple errors. Specifically, error icons appear next to "Burst Stroke", "Trim Burst" start & end, and "Transform: Shape Pop Burst" - however I'm not familiar enough with expressions to understand what the prob

I'm working on rotoscoping a 6-second 1080p video. To optimize performance and avoid triggering propagation at the start of the clip when making adjustments, I’ve been splitting the video into 37-frame sections.However, I’m running into a couple of issues with this workflow: 1. Roto Brush Misalignment Between Sections: Since each section has its own Roto Brush calculation, the brushes don’t align seamlessly between sections, causing a noticeable jump when playing through the clip 2. Propagation Issues in Split Sections: After rotobrushing the first section and splitting the video (Shift + Ctrl + D), the last frame’s Roto Brush from the first section appears in the second section. However, propagation still starts from frame 0 in the new section. If I delete the strokes in the second section to stop propagation, it also removes the necessary Roto Brush data, making it impossible to align the two sections properly. Has anyone encountered this problem, and if so, do you kno

After applying the effect to a text layer and removing the animation slider keyframes, the blinking effect stops disappears. The workaround would be to leave a single keyframe at 100. Reason I want to remove the keyframes is to add an opacity fade on as opposed to typed on and keeping the blinking cursor. Is this a glitch or intended?

I have a general question about optimizing expressions using posterizeTime(0) & valueAtTime(0). While I use valueAtTime(0) often, I recently learned about the posterizeTime(0) update in AFX 16.0 (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/legacy-and-extend-script-engine.html#freezing-property-values). At first glance, posterizeTime(0) seems like it could be a game-changer for speeding up complex expressions that only need to be computed once in the comp / project. I'd love to hear from others about their experience using posterizeTime(0) and how it has / hasn't helped improve workflow. Also, how does using valueAtTime(0) with posterizeTime(0) work together?For example:Comp_1 has a complex expression that uses posterizeTime(0)Comp_2 references the Comp_1 expressionIn Comp_2, will using valueAtTime(0) when referencing the Comp_1 expression help / hurt / make no difference for performance?Thanks all.

I can't seem to find this answer anywhere so it may not be possible but I'm wondering if you can change the ruler measurement setting to percentage in After Effects? I'm not talking about the timeline ruler, which is what comes up the most on a search.

Por algum motivo, o after effects após a última atualização não aceita mais/não reproduz nenhum tipo de animação de arquivos GLB já animados, na versão anterior isso continua funcionando normalmente, mas hoje, após atualizar, o after simplesmente se nega a abrir a janela de opções de animações de qualquer arquivo glb animado.Eu testei não só com um arquivo, mas com 49 arquivos glb, apenas para ter certeza que isso é de fato um problema do software e não dos arquivos utilizados, em contra partida, desatualizei o software para a versão anterior e as animações podem ser selecionadas tranquilamente... Eu não sei se isso é um problema apenas meu, mas preciso que isso seja solucionado o quanto antes, é impossível fazer trabalhos com glb animados SE não é possível justamente selecionar a opção de ANIMAÇÃO glb... Aguardo ansiosamente uma solução para este problema que sinceramente parece algo ridiculamente simples de se resolver.
