 A female character who appears in 1:08 seconds.    A female character who appears in 28 seconds.  How do you create this type of behavior?Is this a way to create an illustration in multiple parts and then apply motion effects?Or can I make it using a program like Spine or Unity? The adult game called 'Summer Clover' has a similar feeling... I get it. Does anyone know? If anyone knows how please help        

Hey all, I'm having an annoying issue with the Rotobrush tool in After Effects that I hope you can all help me out with. I'm very familiar with Premiere, but my After Effects knowledge/experience is lacking for sure, so it's quite possible I'm missing something pretty basic.I'm working with linked comps created from clips in a Premiere timeline. The only effects applied to the original clips were adjusting speed and framing. I open the comps in AE, and when I go to roto, it gives me a warning my clip framerate doesn't match my comp framerate, and then selects the entire frame. I change my comp framerate to match my clip framerate, and it still selects the entire frame. Here's a video of me doing this: Rotobrush Issue - YouTubeI searched briefly for anyone else having this issue, and it's definitely a known problem, but I didn't see any sort of workaround or solve.Looking forward to hearing what y'all think!E: Just some additional notes, this has been happening on both Mac and PC system

hi everyone, I have a mac with Big Sur operating system version 11.2.3.I have always used after effects to make animations. For some time, during video export, I can no longer get transparency while adding the alpha channel.these are my steps:          file > export > add to Render Queue > format Quicktime > channels RGB + Alpha.in this way, up to 3 months ago, I am always successful on this same device.  Now, once exported, it tells me that the file is not compatible with quicktime player. is there a problem with quick time? it does not open any files to me. using another solution, trying not to export with .mov, I tried with media encoder.these are my steps:         file > export > add to Media Encoder Queue > format: H.264 > render alpha channel only.the result is a video with a black background and white animation. obviously, in the composition, the transparency is set which is displayed c

I have a classroom full of students. Every time we install a font (either through the online system or using local fonts through Font Book) they are having to restart the entire computer for AE to recognize them. Any advice? We are using Sonoma 14.6.1 and AE 24.5.0 (Build 52).

Since I've switched to After Effects CC 2018 I've not been able to use the 3D camera tracker. I've looked around and couldn't find an answer and was wondering how to fix this or if anyone else has had the same issue. Here's a screen grab:javascript:;I've tried uninstalling and using the CC Cleaner Tool but it still doesn't work. Any help on how to fix this would be most appreciated!

When I try to load a 3D object, After Effect cannot contunue advanced plug-in generated an unexpected explosion, it gives this message, says save and closes. Is there a solution for this?!... There is no way to load 3D objects directly, anyway?!...... So we will upload 3D nail polishes and fun 3D science.   Title edited by Mod.    

This has happened to me many times and only to objects like headlights and cars that are further away and smaller. I checked and made sure the speedramps are the exact same.

When viewing a comp at 100% or larger, I'm pretty sure I was previously able to use my middle mouse wheel to pan around and inspect details. Rolling the wheel zoomed you in and out, while holding the button down enabled you to pan around when zoomed in. I've lost that functionality, and now I can't navigate around my comp when zoomed in. Is there another way to do this? I'm used to adjusting things at the pixel-level, but now I can only zoom in towards the dead center. Has anyone else experienced this? I've restarted a bunch of times... Thanks.

I'm trying to do a simple expansion of 3 lines of text but make the middle line the base so that it doesn't move, and the top line and bottom line expand in their respective directions but I can't seem to figure out how to use line spacing or leading to make the lines expand from anything other than the top line of the text.

Hello, there.I recently updated my version of AE to the most recent 24.5 version, because I was excited to test out the new 3d updates, such as 3d fog and embedded 3d animations. However, once I updated AE none of the new effects seemed to be working. I am able to apply the effects but they do not work properly. Same goes with importing 3d files with animations. An ''Animations'' bar shows below the composing options bar on the 3d layer , but the small  animation  box does not appear. 

I searched the forum and cannot find an answer to my problem. I'm trying to track a simple sock video of a laptop with a green screen but Mocha AE is not tracking properly. I've done this succssfully in the past but for some reason I cannot get it to track the screen. I take the time to set up the spline and planar surface carefully but it just won't track more than a few seconds of footage, then goes way off track. I made sure AE is updated, cleanted the cache in Mocha, rebooted, noting seems to work. What could I be doing wrong? I feel like it's something really simple but I am still reletively new to AE and Mocha but this is a very simple procedure that i've been succesful with in the recent past but cannot get it to work now. I've included screenshots of Mocha when tracking forward. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm new and I wanted to link 2 shape layers together. I wanted to make an animation of a little man. But when I connect one part of my arm with the second, this part of my arm deforms and rotates as if in a different projection. What to do?  

So I was trying to create the countdown effect using the number slider effect. I saw instructions on how to do this on youtube, but when I followed their instructions, there was an error in the expression. Namely, the expression I typed was this...  slider = Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))sec = slider%60min = Math.floor(slider/60)function addZero(n){ if (n<10) return "0" + n else return n }addZero(min) + ":" + addZero(sec) And it said, "Invalid numeric result (divide by zero)" . Which was weird because it never said that when other youtubers typed the expression. Also, I even changed the settings from "JavaScript" to "Extended Script" but nothing is working. If you can help me out that would be great as this issue is driving me crazy. 

Does anyone know of a tutorial out there on how to animate a magic 8 ball in After Effects? I know that I would need to illustrate it in Illustrator, but I'm not exactly sure how to animate it. Any help is appreciated!

Hello! There are two clips one is mine trying to achieve the results shown in the youtube video. Please help me out how to take the path to the origin point like in the youtube tutorial.

hey guys! I just started working with a team where I will receive several After Effects 2024 projects and I can't update to this version. The version I have is After Effects 2023 My mac is:macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) I tried updating my mac but it's already up to date. Does anyone know how to solve this without having to ask someone to downgrade the project for me every time I need it? I know there is a Downgrader Project Online for Premiere, does anyone know if there is something like that for After too? 

 Hello,  I have just purchased the TrapCode Suite that has the Particular Effect I want to use from RedGiant by Maxon. I was going to use this in  Adobe Effects that I have on my Mac (as seen in attached, I have the Version 22.6.0 of After Effects). However, when I click on a layer and go to Effects - RG Trapcode (as instructed in tutorials), the Particular effect doesn't appear.  Do you know why this might be/ how I might be fix this? Is it because I have too old a version of After Effects or because I have missed a post purchase step? Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Alannah

Hi! I have at home a Mac studio M2 Max with 64Gb of ram and works great, but a few times in a year i need to traverl and take my work with me, i was thinking in getting a MBP 13 inch 2020 intel just to open the projects, do some changes and then render, that's it, the rest of the time it will spend it in some corner in my home office.Why this MBP? Beacuse i can get one really cheap with 32GB of ram, i tried the M1 Pro with 16GB of ram and sadly is too litle ram that after a few seconds i already have like 8GB of swap.My other option at the same cost could be a MBA M1 with 16GB ram.I am not in the US so getting a Mac it's quite expensive, and getting a Gaming Laptop is out of the question because they are big and heavy.So does anyone have some experience with the 13 inch MBP? or o get the MBA? Thanks in advance

Hi there,  I've read forums, looked on YouTube, nothing seems to help. So here I am. I have Adobe creative Cloud and run * Premiere * Photoshop * After Effects  * Audition  * Bridge I've updated all the drives, I've updated windows I've updated CC. After Effects was working fine, now I cant even open it. Using Adobe cleaner I uninstalled everything and re-installed. I was using using video co-pilot and ae juice plug ins, I have uninstalled those 3rd party apps. After effects 24.5 still will not open. Everything else though is working fine. Any advice???   🙂 Gary.   

In AE CC 2017, I have a composition (A) where the footage is from another composition (B) and this composition (A) had 11 colour range keys on it. And they had worked at one point and I had selected the colour to key. Now, when I add a color range key to the composition, pressing the icon to select the colour to key switches to the (eyedropper?) icon but when I place it over the footage to select the colour it changes back to the normal mouse pointer so doesn't select the colour.The video that's started having a problem is quicktime pro-res - even though colour range key worked okay on it previously (note: I'm using Windows 10).I've also tried using the footage from composition (B) in a new composition but that does the same thing (just shows mouse cursor over the footage). But if I put a color range effect on a video rendered with quicktime jpeg2000 it works as normal (shows the eye dropper when cursor is placed over the footage).I've tried loading the pro-res video into a brand new (

I’m using After Effects on my ROG Strix G15 with 16GB of RAM, intel core i7, GTX 1650ti and Windows 11. When I try to remove a background from a three-second video and click ‘Freeze,’ the rendering process involves around 6000 frames, which takes a long time.Steps to Encounter the Bug:1. I import a three-second video into After Effects.2. I select the area of the video from which I want to remove the background.3. I click on ‘Freeze’ to start the background removal process.The program should render a reasonable number of frames, like my brother’s laptop, which only processes around 170 frames, making the rendering quicker.What Actually Happened:The program is rendering approximately 6000 frames, leading to much longer processing times. How can I reduce amount of frames that my laptop needs to render?

I just downloaded After Effects and I can't find presets, I only have the 2024 version, but I can't find presets and I can't use plugins, I added a few plugins in the folders. but it doesn't show up in After Effects
