Questions

Yesterday, I installed After Effects version 22.6.5. When I navigated to Preferences > Preview > GPU Information, I came across the following details:  What might be the issue here? My MSI Laptop, equipped with an i7 6700HQ processor running at a boosted 3.2GHz, and a GTX 960M 2GB graphics card, seems to meet the system requirements. Despite this alignment, I'm unable to utilize the draft 3D feature. 

the Highlighted part is not in the vidoe but the adjusment layer back on pr shows it I would love to know what the cuz of this and if thers a solution

Hello,I've been using After Effects for about 2 years now and I'm working on a flat animation project. After rendering a preview this started happening...http://https://youtu.be/NbDXUh31V3EAny kind of camera movement with the phone makes the holder beneath visible through the phone. I'm using a camera parented to a null object for the movement.This didn't show up anytime in the past. I was hoping to contact Adobe directly about this issue however I couldn't find the correct contact for this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Everybody,Sorry if my question sounds so simple.

Hello! I’m operating on my thesis in linguistics, and it is proving to be quite hard. I'm looking for a depended on linguistics thesis writing service to help with organizing my studies, structuring arguments, and refining my evaluation. Has everybody here used an online service specifically for linguistics? I’d like to pay attention any suggestions or private experiences, in particular services that provide tailor-made assist and professional input on linguistic theory and analysis. Any recommendation on legit offerings or suggestions on operating with them would be substantially preferred. Thanks a lot in advance!

See attached vid.I've reasonably good with say intermediate Premiere Pro.  I created a vid recently and had to draw a route on a clip as part of that project.  I didn't know how to use After Effects so I used the Movavi screen recorder. I am now learning After Effects from the start as I understand that animations like this are best done in After Effects.  I'm happy to put the time in to learn from the beginning. I have a need to do something similar to the attached vid but haven't reached that skill level yet in AE.  Can you recommend a tutorial that may help me jump ahead to achieve something like that please?

I want to create an Animation Library with the keyframes library feature and was thinking that it would be nice if we could create some kind of grid with previews for every animation in our libraries, that way it would look nicer and be easier to use or identify our presets.

I have all of the requriments for adobe after effects windows 11.  It still won't let me download ae or Creative cloud.

I am trying to taper a rounded stroke so that the stroke size gradually increases, however the settings seems to rigidly slice it, instead of giving me a small to big taper that maintains roundness. What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

hi, i'm taking an after effects course so i don't know much about this program yet. I was trying to create a moving one leg loop with "loop_out (" cycle ", 0)" but I got an error and already checked on several pages what it could be, but I can't find a solution yetDoes anyone know what i'm doing wrong?Thank you

Can I solve my problem, the After Effect application is modern, and I have not added any components. Windows 11 graphics card Nvidia 16 RAM. The problem with all projects. I am a subscriber to Adobe Creative and I pay for it monthly, I hope the officials solve my problem quickly

I have rectangular footage that I need to take multiple square crops from and to figure out what crops I want to take I am using the shape tool to draw boxes over the footage. I can obviously just create a new composition and try to match the scale/zoom and position but I'm wondering if there is a way to link the shape layers in the Cropping composition to the actual cropped compositions so that if I want to change the placement, it will carry over to the crops. I've attatched some screenshots that show what I mean (with placeholder footage). I've tried using expressions to link the position/scale but I'm finding it really confusing. Anyone have any ideas?

So wheni drag keyframes to where i want on the timeline i will clearly let go and then move my mouse but then the keyframes move to where my mouse is.  Only in 2022 does this happen and the only fix i have is to wait 3 seconds after i let  go...im not the only one am i?

Hey everyoneHow does one achieve the white border effect that moves around the edges of the rectangle? Is it trim path? Can someone help me, please?

I started this project in premiere pro. one layer is the effiel tower another is an artist already green screened and sized. i exported each layer seperately both in 1920 x1080. brought them into a after effects first the tower to use the 3d camera on to place the artist in a stationary spot afterwards.  do the steps, pick a position, create a solid and camera, precompose the solid, size the composition to match the 1920 x 1080, bring in the video of the artist, delete the solid. once it artist is now in the overall comp, its way bigger then it should be and if i scale it it becomes blurry 

I have a simple AE composition, blending 2 videos.  One of the videos is fully muted in AE.  I turned the volume off.  Additionally, I put in an audio transform on it to minimum decibels.  However, when I import my composition into Premiere pro, the muted audio is blended/mixed in with the composition If someone knows what I'm doing wrong, please help me, thank you.

I made a UI script, which worked great at first, now it works on and off!?  what might cause this?same version of AE, same project, same script.  But all of a sudden it seems to not fully work (and then occsaionlly it does) Any idea?  (tried it on a second machine ,and no luck) It's a script that renames comp names based on user input (plus changes type layers).I used ChatGPT, and it was working great.  Then it was like AE didn't like it anymore (or even earlier versions that I knew were working).  Something in AE seems to be fickle.  I'm going to try to start from scratch again. But is there a way perhaps someone can test it out, or some kind of extra code I could insert to kind've "reset" something in AE that the script is interatcting with when it reads comp names? Thanks,Gary 

I have this expression:// positionslet pX = transform.xPosition;let minX = 0;let maxX = 1920;// colorslet color1 = hexToRgb("E300FF");let color2 = hexToRgb("00FFA5"); linear(value, minX, maxX, color1, color2);I know the 0 and the 1920 doesn't make sense, what I'm trying to do is reference the position of X at 0 and at 1920, so the color value changes while the shape is moving in between the points.I thought of doing a control point at 0 and 1920 and use that as the reference, but it didn't work.So I would like to know if it's possible to reference a shape layer inside another's shape layer expression. Any other solution to this is really welcome!Thanks 😄

I'm sure, that it is a bag, but if not, help me.I'm trying to get sourceText keyValuesMy code works perfectly, untill i move my text layer in timeline.When i do, (when layer's startTime not at the start of comp), the keyValues is offseting!For example, here is the text in keys (the text = frames) "0, 10, 20, 30"If I shift layer by 10 frames forward, the result be "10, 20, 30, 30"If shift 10 frames backward, - "0, 0, 10, 20"How to fix it? Without offseting the layer to get the right value of course.try{ var comp = app.project.activeItem; var sourceTextProp = comp.layer(1).property("ADBE Text Properties").property("ADBE Text Document"); var textContent = ""; if (sourceTextProp.numKeys > 0) { for (var k = 1; k <= sourceTextProp.numKeys; k++) { var textDocument = sourceTextProp.keyValue(k); textContent += textDocument.text + " "; } alert(textContent); } } catch(err) {alert(err.toString + "\n" + err.line)} 

I'a trying to save a simple number animatiion with this code: num = ""+ effect("Angle Control")("Angle").value.toFixed(0) + "";function addCommas(x) {return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");}addCommas(num)but i cannot save it as an animation preset in adobe after effect, while on the video i just watched th guy was able to... Any idea oabout how to fix the porblem ?  link of vieo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYweBo9lgKM

Hi,  I am reaching out for assistance with an issue I have been experiencing in After Effects 2024. I keep encountering an error message stating “unknown exception” whenever I click on the Effects panel, try to nest a sequence or try to apply any effects.  I've taken the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Reset Preferences: I have reset the preferences during startup.2. Disabled GPU Acceleration: I disabled hardware acceleration in the preferences.3. Cleared Disk Cache: I purged all memory and disk cache.4. Reinstalled After Effects: I uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects, excluding Cinema 4D, as I do not use it.5. Updated Software: I ensured that After Effects and my mac software are both up to date. Despite these attempts, the error persists. I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue, as it has hindered my workflow significantly today and means I am stuck until this is fixed:(( Thank in advance for any advise and help! &#128

When I try to open an AE 2020 project in 2021, AE doesn't ask to convert the project from a previous version. Further, I get an error message that references a particular source file and ends with "Data File: Unknown." This repeats for all the source clips. I reinstalled 2020 and the project opens as expected. I then uninstalled and reinstalled 2021, attempted to import the projeject into a new project, deleted preferences, etc. No joy. Anyone else having this problem? I need to share this project with several other users and would prefer not to have to tell them to install an older version of AE. Thanks!

This problem has persisted for several months across many projects both old and new. I can create a text layer but the box disappears the moment is created and it will not accept text/ key inputs. The layer is visible in the comp window but there is no way to create new text nor edit older text from older projects.  Also, I can scub though the comp window but as soon as I try to preview anything it will not play a single frame and the green preview bar at the top of the comp window goes haywire - blinking off and on and randomly drawing lines all over the place. 

I use the Bodymoving plugin and often work with Lottie, so I convert all the texts into shapes and sometimes it takes a very long time.PS. I know about the existence of a parameter that does this when rendering in lottie, but in fact it is not implemented in the best way now
