Questions

Hate to be repetative and bring up an old topic; however, it is extremely concerning that it is impossible to uninstall Maxon cinema 4D due to the software (creative cloud) forcefully reinstalling Maxon cinema 4D, without consent. There is a topic on this in the forums with lots of incorrect answers and so my goal with this post is to clear up confusion and welcome truthful, honest answers about the automatic installation of Maxon Cinema 4D First, uninstalling the software does not work. The software reinstalls itself automatically. The steps published in this article are false. Second, there is no mention of Maxon Computer Gmbh as a licensor in the 3rd Party Legal notice for after effects. Third, the software is unusable without creating an account with Maxon. All in all, this behavior is extremely provocative and counter-productive. In fact, it is bizarre that this is still an issue in 2024

I have watched a bunch of videos and I do not know how to install the sapphire plug in. Please help, I really want to use it. 

heyi'm getting this error, i'm trying to understand what it means, and how can i fix it.i am using the most updated version of AE.does this error mean there's a picture inside the sequence that's that big or what?

So im trying to recreate Spectrum like in that video.But, It supposed to be "bigger", isnt it? Also it has an invisible barrier even though i applied Motion Tile and set Output Height to 260. Whats the matter? 

Hi!I'm doing a crazy thing where I animate gaming video subtitles from Premiere Pro into After Effects to give it more quality. I'd love to have in the library a way to this: - Go to in point- Add a "0" value scale keyframe- Go forward 5 frames- Add a "100" value scale Keyframe- Go to out point- Add a "0" value scale keyframe- Go backwards 5 frames- Add a "100" value scale keyframe And then continue to the next layers. Also, It'd be really useful an "Un-precompose" action too, where the elements of precomposition come out of the precomp and places in time in your main comp I used to do this actions with another automation application, but now I'd love to rely more on Automation Blocks for these tasks If these work, I might have some more ideas in mind for these same kind of videos which are actually very requested. Thank you very much in advance!

Layer below the adjustment layer goes invisible in after effects, please help!  

Does anyone know if you can use the linear function to deform a path?In below, the triangle goes from left to right, but its path deforms slightly.If the triangle was moving to the right from a position of (0,0) to (100,0) ...I thought of using something like this in the Path property expression:A=path.key(1)B=path.key(2)linear(position, 0, 100, A, B)But it doesnt work because path is not an array, it's a path object. I tried using pointonpath but to no avail.

I've been using After Effects for 2.5 years, but I never understood this problem. People can see the fill in the videos made for this, but when I click on the solid layer, the fill disappears. please i need help...

I have downloaded a bunch of presets off YouTube videos to use in After Effects, but every single preset that I try to use says: This favorite contains a reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference."S_DissolveShake"The term in quotation marks changes depending on the preset used and often is similar to the preset name. I don't have this problem with the built-in effects in after-effects. Makes me think that I have imported the presets wrong or something. I dragged and dropped them into the User Presets folder. 

Hello everyone, I am new in after effects I am facing a weird issue in after effect final export.

Hi!I'm trying to figure out how to solve color issues we encounter during a RED (R3D) workflow through After Effects. I hope someone can shine some light on this. We have interpretted the R3D inside AE 2017 with the RED importer (interpret footage > more options) as follows: - colorspace: Dragoncolor2- gamma: REDgamma4- rest as default, only the ISO as shot. We have left the AE working space to 'none', as we usually use OCIO to manage colors to know what happens. Though we mostly do some removal work on this footage, so we won't need much color changes.  The project is set to 32bit and we render image sequences to 16-bit EXR's with preserveRGB enabled. At our end, everything works as expected. However, the grading facility had trouble getting enough color information from the EXR's. Of course, you lose some dynamic range from the raw file when importing them with these settings. But I find it very strange that they claim the available colorgamut is sRGB, not DragonColor2. So, w

Could somebody please help in figuring out which plugins are used in this video? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8eUN5yn/ 

Hey hey guys, Just another issue. I am trying to make 100 frames stretch out to a 30 min video but the time stretch just doesnt work or default to 4 mins. The time warp isnt helping either. When i import the frames i just want AE to populate the entire 30min timeline not just a few seconds.What am i missing here?thanks

I want to fade out the two ends of a saber line. How can I do that? I already tried with playing the start_size and end_size, but if I'm set them to an equal value (e.g. 0), the whole saber line will be equal to the value I set.So I would like to achive some kind of fade from the middle to both ends of the saber line. How can I do that? I attach an image where I found an example of it. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to manipulate these sars' position values. but I dnt find their motion path. these little guys moving in a straight way. I want to them move in a curvy way. how can I do it? 

Updated to version 17.1 a while ago (don't dare to update to the newest version due to TO MANY BUGS!)Now when importing images they only show in the first frame instead of the length of the composition...I know how to prolong the frame by using "Freeze frame" but that is so tedious...Does anybody know how to avoid this issue?Thanks!

hi there anyone/everyone. i am just here to ask for some assitance in recreateing the effect in the video below in after effects.Its a frame interpolation from runway but the resolution is too low. It also takes too long to process. any ideas? or this isnt feasible in AE?many thanks

I really have no clue what is going on here. We have a large exterior display we build for. We've done a number of files for it, exported as prores 4444 and all has been fine. We have an outside contractor producing something for us. He exported from AE to prores 4444 and his file didn't run.  After a lot of poking around we saw that it was in YUVA color space, not YUV like the working files. Lots of testing and we're still having that issue, and now, when I export from my AE I'm now exporting into YUVA color space. This makes no sense to me and I can't see anywhere to make a change that will affect that color space. More than that I can't find online references for YUVA anywhere.  The only other difference i can see on inspecting the files is that the new YUVA renders are "Writing Library: Apple" where the working files were "Writing Library: adb0" So I'm assuming that is an Adobe vs Apple thing, but again, for the life of me i can't see anywhere to change thi

Hello.When working in After Effects, the laptop reboots itself. But it would be more accurate to say, just hangs, turns off the screen and then turns on again.It happens when I work on heavy projects, when rendering, and when I open Element 3d, hangs, and then AE fails.I have 32gb of RAM in my laptop.26gb is allocated for the Adobe package.Video card is updatedThe cooler is not clogged with dust and the computer is not heating up.How can i solve this problem, i am asking for help.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hi, newbie here, I'm teaching myself. I bought a template and I am editing it. I am learning a lot but I can't find any info anywhere with an icon or symbol glossary.there is the star- for shape layer? but what is the square with the dot?  and  circle square triangle, does that mean composition? and the square next to it with the black dot?  thank you!

 

Hi. I am trying to loop a simple 5-second animation, and after 25 tutorials and 10 hours, nothing has worked.I've precomposed it, brought that into a new comp, and did the whole time-remapping, with the Expression set to loopOut .I've tried 5 different variations of the "cycle" expressionI've tried various Remap techniques. You name it, I've tried it.I export it to Encoder, and final  mp4 - does not loop, it just plays once.What am I doing wrong?I'm very new to AE. Thanks a lot.
