When I tab to ‘Don’t Save’ in the dialog and press Return, the system still brings up the Save As window. However, clicking ‘Don’t Save’ with the mouse behaves as expected. 

Hi, I want to Flip path direction, I want to mirror the flip in opposite direction. I googled. nothing is there. I used plugins. but it causes problem in rigging process. I want it done using inbuilt AE system. Is there any way I can do it inside AE using anythng inbuilt in the software? Thank you. Like I mirror any shape using scale, 100 - 100, I want to flip the path like this. using inbuilt AE system.       

What is the reason this “I” like icons are in front of play head. is there any way to hide this? . This icons are smothering keyframes [KF] when play head is over the KF.   

I’ve been using CC Glass in some texts, and it was working fine until I added the effect to… just another composition with texts. It doesn’t make much sense, I know.The compositions are basically copies of each other, just with other text content, and I’ve checked the Bump Map, and each layer is using its respective map.I’ve tried applying the CC Glass effect to each individual character (that is inside the composition), and it does work. But it also changes a little bit my animation, which I didn’t want to happen.The strangest part: when I render the video, the accent in the ‘é’ changes in the middle of the animation?? And the CC Glass is only applied to part of the layer???I’m attaching the video and the file, for reference. I thank in advance if anyone helps me figure it out.

Seemingly recently, dynamic linking is no longer working. Issues:Multiple AE files in premiere are forever pending Premiere requires me to open AE before opening premiere project in order for any previously linked files to open If premiere timeline contains multiple AE files, only one will load while the others remain pending or even offline, requiring a consolidation of all AE files into one AE file  Even when dynamic linked files are active on timeline, the export occasionally will show them offlineHas anyone else experienced this?

When i put 1800x1800 as composition it becomes more of a rectangle than a square even if my pixel aspect ratio is on square pixels. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is this additionally paid extension or included in Ae subscription?   

Havent used after effects for awhile, when I doubled clicked before it use to fill the window with anything else going to a tab. Now it opens a new window beside the composition window which makes it small I dont need to see the composition window just what I am working on. 

I’m in Free Transform, is there any way to shear or skew the bounding box?  

For some reason, I cannot use the 3D camera tracker anymore. It worked fine on my last project. I’ve tried to track multiple clips to no avail. It doesn’t move past “Initializing.” After a while, I get an error that reads “timed out obtaining dynamiclink server” even if it’s a standalone project that isn’t connected to Premiere. I’m using AE v 26.2.1. Anyone know how to fix this?

God, I have no idea why i keep crashing, I didn’t have anything complicated, no script. Just come footages and simple composition.Anyone can help ?

I encountered a serious UI bug in After Effects affecting the Timeline panel switches.After using the new Angular tool / Bone Structure workflow (possibly related), certain layer switch controls in the Timeline panel became completely unresponsive. Specifically, the Switches area (including Shy, Solo, visibility and other switch icons) appears visually active, but clicking any switch only highlights the entire switches region with a selection outline instead of toggling the actual switch state.The controls behave as if the Timeline panel is frozen, while the rest of After Effects continues to function normally.What I already tried:Restarting After Effects Clearing cache Resetting workspace Renaming the composition Opening different projects/compositions Restarting the computer Testing other Timeline layoutsNothing resolved the issue.This may possibly be related to running DUIK/Angular rigging tools or to a GPU/UI rendering issue.

Honestly, sometimes I think it is done on purpose. Why in gods name would this be the case after a minor update?I'm in full deadline mode now, my pc/mac updated and can't open my projectfile now!!!this is sick! 

Whenever I open aftereffects, it pops up with this message saying it couldn’t open GPUSniffer or something. AE has worked fine for about a year, and this is the first time its started happening, but it stops me from getting in or doing anything. GPU: AMD Ryzen RX 9060 XTCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

it’s this warning, may be some castomization wrong?

I downloaded the "Hand-Drawn Titles" mogrt (AdobeStock_230451463) from Adobe Stock, and I can't open it in AE. In fact, it is grayed out in Finder when I do try to import it. I'm using the latest versions of all Adobe products AE and Premer Pro still not opeing any suggestions Thanks. 

For the past week, I have been having issues with After Effects opening up.  It gets stuck on the splash screen and then stops responding after it Initializes Audio Devices.  I’ve always had issues with this program, but usually one of the usual tricks would get it working.  Downgrading to an earlier version, using the clean up tool (that doesn’t actually clean up everything), running as administrator, running with windows 8 compatibility, updating to the new drivers, downgrading to past drivers. I manually deleted every trace of adobe from my computer, and only then did it work briefly a few days ago.  However, I have not been able to get it working since.  I repeated the same steps I took the first time, but nothing.  And now I’ve been troubleshooting for the past 5-6 hours because I have a project I need to work on.I’ve tried all of the versions that are currently available on the creative cloud.  The only one that I got working, briefly, was version 26.0.  I’m on Windows 10, have a

When I use face tracking in After Effects 2026, all the markers disappear after tracking! What's wrong? It works fine in After Effects 2024.All those marker is no showing or no response after the tracking finished 

After effects will not launch, last thing on splash screen is mediacore, not even as admin in safe mode with no 3rd party plugins and reset preferences.Posted here because it seemed to start when using After Effects, but no Adobe video apps will load. AfterFX 25.4 and 23.6, PPro 25.4 and 23.6.8, Media Encoder 25.4 all crash at splash screen. Photoshop loads OK, but I thought Creative Cloud app was very sluggish for a while too, though now it's OK. Dell XPS 15 9520, i7-12700H, 64GB RAM, RTX 3050 laptopWindows 11 24H2 latest update KB5063878After Effects 25.4 and 23.6Premiere 25.4 and 23.6.8Media Encoder 25.4 I don't use many scripts or plugins, but had recently installed a script "DuplicateFrameRemover.jsxbin" into After Effects by copying this file into Support Files/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels. It worked well for a day or two across restarts. When this problem occurred I removed but issue persisted. If this didn't cause it then this is pretty random, but there are

I want to do exactly this same effect in the face:https://youtu.be/bHs86ImDkbs?si=B_oRnFmehUjYUUo9&t=20What i tried SO FAR in my AE 2022:https://i.gyazo.com/08d0171dc6d15c86e86dc97022bd9b7a.pngBut it's not the same result, any tips? Thanks in advance.

Recently, After Effects seems to want an demand more RAM from my PC whereas before I would be able to do the work I needed to do and even sometimes more advanced ones without a hitch but now even a small animation seems to not work. Before my CPU upgrade, I was even able to have a couple tabs on FireFox playing but now even with everything turned off it seems to struggle immensely and introduce a lot of lag spikesI recently upgrade my CPU from the Ryzen 3600 to a 5700X while keeping my 32gb RAM and RTX 3060 while also made the jump from Windows 10 to 11. I never had this kind of issue before and I was wondering why does After Effects wants more now compared to before when I clearly made an objectively good upgrade for the sake of performance

When importing a .psd file as a composition, I receive the message: "Encountered errors while importing selected items. 1) After effects error: Illegal XML character “” in string “[file path]”. Layers appear offline. When I close and restart app, everything is online. Also occurs when right clicking imported psd footage>Create>Convert to Layered Comp.I already checked that there are no illegal characters in filename of layer names.Version 26.2.1 (Build 2)MacbookPro M3 Max, Nov 2023, Sonoma Version 14.6.1

I have an image and a video that I positioned on the comp after scaling both down so they are positioned how I want them.  I now want to scale both items down so they are real small so I can keyframe them both scaling up together. I will use parenting to get them both to scale up together How do I scale both of them in proportion to a small size? Is there a way to group them both to do this? They are not yet keyframed Thanks  

Hi guys ! I have an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with 32gb and my After Effects is still very slow when editing. I’ve tried every tips AI gave me but it sadly doesn’t change anything… I use Twixtor, Sapphire and BCC a lot, which would be a reason why it’s slow but i don’t know… Thank you so much for your help. 😁

Hello there :)I’ve been working on my desktop PC for about 4 years now and despite some issues with an SSD NVMe and a recent problem with a a damaged USB PCIe expansion card that caused my PC to lag as hell before I identified the problem and removed it, I am quite happy with it. I produce music and am a motion-graphics designer, so I use lots of softwares and plugins and the PC is quite robuts to handle it, even on tight schedules for my clients and big renders (over 4K with plugins such as Element 3D or Deep Glow, Shadow studio, Handy cam, etc.). I’ve been watching a lot of tests that point to the RTX 5070 as a great solution for 4K editing and was wondering if anyone had any experience with such an upgrade, especially 3060 8Gb to 5070 12Gb.I also read there were some issues with the 5070 and so far, most of the time, my philosophy has always been “as long as it works”, don’t update / upgrade.But if it can help me improve my workflow and gain some rendering time, I’d be curious to kn
