Hello, Recently I've been having some trouble with my Sapphire Plug-in, more precisely, the S_Shake effect. Whenever I try to render my composition, it always fails when it gets to the part that contains that effect.  Also my After Effects displays some sort of error when the rendering fails, that says: Sapphire Plug-ins error Error: Out of memory allocating temp image handle of -1792071600 bytes. *a picture of the error is attached* Please help me, I've tried a lot of different methods to fix this for the past few days, like clearing the cache, disabling the gpu rendering and using software only, rendering through AE's rendering queue and AME etc. Also my storage is far from full and I've got 23.1GB of available physical memory aka RAM. My laptop's specs are specified here:Asus Rog Strix G17 Processor: Intel i7 10th generation (i7-1070H CPU @2.60 GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 cores, 12 logical processors)Installed RAM: 32 GB64 bitNVIDIA GeForc

I searched online and found that the Preserve Underlying Transparency should be next to the composition and represented by a T symbol.However, I cannot find it for my PNG files. I believe I have alpha channel fully enabled. Any reasons and solutions to this?Thanks in advance!

Using the most current versions of AE and AI. I'm finding that Illustrator files are not updating in AE when I edit them. They seem to only change after the first edit and any future edits won't update. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

I downloaded an animation preset, but the minute I add a background image, the text renders fine, but the animation elements just disappear.Newbie here, please helpe me out good people! Screenshots attached! The first image is with the background image, the second one shows the animated elements when the background is hidden.

I have such a problem. When editing an AE file, I experimented with fonts. Exported the file to mogrt. After that, I changed the font, but when exporting, the warning about used fonts contains the previous unused font, although the new one also appeared. I attached a photo. Instead of Kollektif I installed georgia. How can I make the program forget about the unused font?

Whenever i click some alphabet, it didn't happened anything in my after effect, like... it reject everything on my keyboard

Hello, I have problem with After Effects toolbar. I have English version , but toolbar panel is on Russian language and it doesn't work.  I wanna to change language and make it works! Thank you!

Hi,I created a path based on the positions of two other layers using the fromComp expression (code below). It worked fine until I parented those source layers to null. Once they were parented the position of created shape shifted. I know it happens because the position is now related to null's position but I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to write this code to include this related position? layNum = thisLayer.name.split("-")[1];liEx = effect("link-extremes")("Slider");l1 = thisComp.layer("Left-stripe-"+layNum);l2 = thisComp.layer("Right-stripe-"+layNum);p1 = thisLayer.fromComp(l1.transform.position);p2 = thisLayer.fromComp(l2.transform.position);createPath([(p1-[liEx,0]),(p2+[liEx,0])], [], [], false); 

Hi all, I'm trying to make this mask very featheredm my settings are in the screenshot and as you can see, the feather isn't working.

A no-particles flame effect you can pull off with no plugins.   There's some really cool VFX in the Captain Marvel movies, but my favourite is the firey aura that appears when Carol Danvers starts to use her powers. The process involved was shared in behind-the-scenes videos when Captain Marvel (2019) came out. In a nutshell, the VFX team recreate Brie Larson in 3D, and used the 3D model to drive complex particle simulations. Which apparently took months to refine. It's a bit of a shame they didn't consider using just After Effects to get a similar result! A similar effect can be seen in Netflix Sandman series (Rose in the garden).   Obviously what they did was way more complex and stunning, but in this tutorial, I show how to use a few, simple included effects to create the look of energy emitting in waves from a figure. I start using the rotobrush tool to quickly isolate the hero from their background. Then using the Find Edges effect, I get outlines for all their detail. C

Je suis sur un Macbook Apple M3ProSonoma 14.3 (23D56)36 Go de RAM Au lancement du logiciel, tout se charge et s'affiche correctement SAUF mon onglet/panneau bibliothèque qui lui "glitche" systèmatiquement ou presque (cf l'image capturée en PJ).-> J'ai tenté de relancer en mode sans échec, ça réinitialise mes préférences au passage et des fois ça s'affiche correctement mais ça finit par re-glitcher au démarrage suivant ...-> j'ai désinstallé-réinstallé After Effect, ça peut solutionner temporairement le problème mais ça finit toujours par revenir... Ca arrive aussi avec la bibliothèque Illustrator, mais jusqu'à maintenant jamais dans Photoshop qui tourne parfaitement 🙂 . Et sinon tous mes logiciels Adobe sont bien mis à jour régulièrement. Voilà je n'arrive pas à cerner d'où peut venir ce satané bug !

Hi, So I am playing with expressions. To make my life more difficult I imagine Why dnt I stop the position animation at a certian point. After googling sometimes I learned that I can use 'Checkbox Expression' to control/manipulate/on-off expression. So,  I did that, but dnt like the result. I want the orange circle to stop in a smooth manner not like the one I got using chekbox control. How can I apply  easy ease on checkbox keyframes. If thats not possile what can I do to make the stopping velocity smooth and also I want the circle  animation stops as well.  I mean the orange circle will start its animation with ''Math.sin'', it will reach a certain point and in a smooth manner and then stops. Please guide me. 😥  

I will admit I am an AE noob, but I have done my due diligence of watching every video and reading every post on the subject and I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't loop a very simple progression of text that I have pre-comped, applied time remapping, and wrote the loopout expression to.  I noticed that when I enable time remapping, only one keyframe is created at the beginning of the precomp. So i add the second keyframe at the end of the precomp. Despite this, the precomp is not looping.I have included a screen recording of what's going on, and would appreciate any advice.

I have a green BG in PSD and AE. Same hex code. I output a jpg to bring into AE and see this... The top green is from PSD and the bottom green in AE. Both have the same colour hex code applied. How do I make sure they match?

Ive loI've looked at the other posts about this and I've tried everything re-installing reseting everything and this video seems to have enough contrast. Idk if im doing something wrong cause im new to after effects or if its just something on my end.

Hi, I dnt understand the difference between expression pick whip vs property pick whip.  both write  the same  expression if  i whip preoprties of  one layer to another. example, two shape layers,  red square and  green square. if I whip scale of green to red square,  using 'property pick whip' it writes-   thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.scale and if I pick whip sacle using expression pick whip it also writes-  thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.scale😮   why I need these two? they are doing the same thing  whats the real difference between theses two? Google fails me. only I get articles abt  parent pick whip. There must be some main differences. what is that. please help me. 

Hi, I am using after effects to preview my exr sequence rendered out from Houdini. Normally, even though it is quite slow, I am able to preview my exr sequence in full quality after waiting a bit. However, without fast previews turned on, my sequence play back is super fast, but it is on very low quality, feels like it is on quarter resolution even i have set it to full. When it is paused, the frame is full quality though.  Does anyone know if there is a setting I should change?This is my preview windows settings:I have tried playing around with adaptive resolution limit but nothing really changed. This is when preview is paused, which is correct on full qualityThis is during preview playback, feels like quarter resolution even i've set it to full:

Hi, What would be the best way to cut the lady out of this shot. If someone could rotoscope it (or use another effects) themselves and show me what settings etc you used it would be much appreciated because I'm really struggling. Kind regardshttps://1drv.ms/v/c/b6670a769697822f/Ee_r1d92zfZBgQ55FXMd5SEBnfLB7qhiwAZqEfHYA6Vl6A?e=hXTuGS

Hello, I'm trying to some rotoscoping however regardless of I do with the brushes, it doesn't cut out the shape I have selected. I've played around with reducing, increasing and turning off motion blur to no avail. Please help.

Latest version of After Effects won’t read DNX HD Quicktimes? Not sure if I’m affected by the QuickTime Drop in the latest version. The QT file is good since I can open it in QT player. After Effects shows a gray frame and the audio, no error messages

Hi there, folks! I'm fairly inept with expressions, so I may be banging my head against a very thin wall here... but basically, I'd like to delay a looped animation (which currently uses "loopOut") by X number of frames, with X being defined by another layer. At the moment, I have three layers: - A precomposed animation of a typewriter arm striking a page- A text layer- A background That second layer includes an expression which reveals characters at a random rate, resulting in an organic typewriter effect: minRate = 3; maxRate = 6; charCount = 0; t = 0; seedRandom(index,true); while (t < time){ var RandomRate = random(minRate,maxRate) charCount++; t += framesToTime(RandomRate); } value.substr(0,charCount) What I'd really like to do is have "RandomRate" influence when the animation in the top layer plays, either by delaying each loop or adjusting its duration. The ideal result would see each appearance of a "typed" character being accom
