Anyone know how this happened and how to fix it? 

I've already linked the null layer to the clip, but whenever I try to add a ''s_shake'' effect, it wouldn't show up in the preview and not change anything.I'd have to place the effect directly IN the 'Comp_1' layer for it to show.I'm confused if I accidentally clicked something?

So i'm trying to use the 'Consolidate All Footage' feature in the dependencies menu but it's not working.I've checked the footage using the 'reveal in explorer' function and a bunch of instances point to the same file, but after effects wont consoldidate duplicate instances of footage. I don't want to go through one by one and consolidate these manually.

There used to be a neat exprssion that could scale an object, however it seems to be not working as desired when I returned to this effect. Tutorial here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UaZNcVobhgSo the that if you get a array of object you get this nice wave effect.  When trying this there appears to be no scale, rather just 0 or 100, but nothing in the middle. I was wondering if it was the scripting preferences Java/legacy extented but both are not working. Also I am in 32bit and also 8bit.  I am no great expression user, but this has normally worked straight away in the past.  I thought at first it might be the vector files but it also is the same with native vectors 'shape layers' from after effects. And no recognition of the gradient driving the scale.  x = thisComp.layer("Gradient").sampleImage(transform.position, [.5,.5]/2, true, time)[0];100*[x,x] Best regards Julian

Saben como solucionar este error? Ya intente desinstalando y actualizando After pero no funciona de ninguna manera, ni con la versión 2023    

I'm using after effects 23. I duplicated a comp in my timeline and then I'm trying to replace the duplicated comp with another comp from the project panel. But it's not allowing me to replace but it's suggesting me to place the comp at the top or bottom of the duplicated comp in my timeline. But in the tutorial I see it's possible to replace a comp with another comp.So what's the problem or mistake happening by me here. Plz help me.Thanks. 

Hello,  I have been participating in a Graphic Design course as part of my professional development as a teacher. One task is a logo design and I have an idea which I am comfortable realising the overall shape in illustrator however I would like to add this text in and then try to animate it, as if it was scrolling around the shape as per the image.  If there is anyone who is able to offer advice on how I might go about this, I would really appreciate any help!  Thank you 

Anyone know what's going on here? For whatever reason a bunch of my Adobe files are saved in my One Drive - Documents folder. I never set it up this way, but for whatever reason there's a bunch of stuff in there. I don't want to disable One Drive as I use it for a few things, but I'd prefer if all my Adobe elements lived together where there supposed to be. You know, my main C: Documents....   

I want a layer (several layers actually) to move around in a direction (anywhere from 0 to 360 degrees), once it reaches outside the camera view, it will wrap around to the otherside. Remember in Pac-Man when you go all the way to the right side of screen, you come out the left? That's what I'm talking about. How can I write an expression to something move, even diagonally, and have it wrap around once it goes outside view and to keep doing this over for 10+ mins?   

How can I export an animation to gif without a background with a particle decay effect so that the image remains in normal quality without dots on the background?(click on the image if you have a light theme)If break it into fragments and then glue them together in Photoshop, then the edges of the image become smooth.If save with the background in After effects, then everything is fine, but I need to remove it... 

I'm trying to import a .fla file from Adobe Animate into Adobe After Effects. Either when using Import / File or drag and drop, AE freezes for a moment, then a progress bar appears, and finally an error message reading "An error occurred while importing this file. Please try again." Currently using Animate 20.0.2 & After Effects 17.0.4 (build 59) I've tried using my file and a couple example .fla files from the Adobe site, and the same error occurs.

Hello, I am new to AE and I wanted to know how to animate text like this (or know kind of animation this is). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7wTJPJuLmm/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Thank you for your time! 

Hello there!So when setting the color science to ACES Studio 1.3 and setting the display color transform to Nonegoing to rotobrush editing results in a freezed frame and RGB GPU-like Glitches happening when you switch back and forth between views and frames. but the freezed frame is remain the same as was the first you entered in that layer view for rotobrushingalso everything same happens when you enter layer view doing a 2d tracking so you have to switch to any display colorspace to view the footage properlysteps to reproduce are 1) change colorspace to aces 1.3 studio, set display color to none2) add footage to the comp choose rotobrush tool, double click the footage3) try zooming in zooming out the frame in the layer view -- sometimes it is just black at certain resolutionstry changing to display color space to anything but none 

I'm creating an AE/PPro plugin using the AE SDK. I'd like to have a small "branding" image at the top of the params in the effect control window (ECW). I've got some code working, based on the Custom_ECW_UI sample, but I'd like to not have the twirly at all -- just a non-closeable banner image. Here you can see my banner (the black rect) has a twirly and a reset control above it. Any way to hide those? 

I'd like to attach all of these shapes to this moving white line. Any help would be appreciated! The green one you see attached I did with Trace Paths. But it doesn't work for multiple objects. Thank you in advance.  

Hey! I'm currenly doing quite a lot of retouch work which involves using a lots of still patches on tracked videos. These patches often slightly change colour during the shot so to balance out the change of colours I use rgb curves and animate those. The problem is that in-between different curves keyframes, the curves stop using the normal point mode and use the "pen mode" thing. This pen tool is completely useless, I don't think anyone would ever make curves by drawing them... I feel like this might be a super old AE features which is still there for some reason. You can toggle to the other point tool, but it creates a bunch of random points on the curves. What i would like is for the actual points that are inserted in the curves to be animated, kind of like an animated mask. The way AE is handling the interpolation between keyframes on the curves effect creates all sorts of weird in-between and it makes it difficult to add additional keyframes in-between animation. Below y

Hello! I used the effect wave warp and want to adjust the speed with keyframes, it should slowly move faster. When I set keyframes on the speed with the stop watch, they are squares and they jump abruptly, not slowly increasing. I found this Keyframe interpolation in After Effects but it didn't work. In the interpolation dialog box everything is greyed out except "hold", and in the graph editor, I only get a warning pop up "no valid interpolation method" and then AE completely crashes. I hope someone can help.

I started getting this error after importing multiple AE projects into a single AE project.  Restart solved it for me.

when rendering out a simple tex frame with a guidelayer turned on a "ghost of that gude layer is rendered in the frame. turning off the guid layer resolves the issue producing a clean alpha. color spacs in srgb going into Avid and Premiere. as a side note. pro res files continue to not render alpha correctly from After effects, but do though media encoder.

Hi, I'm new and i'm using After Effects for a project. I need to create a rounded rectangle and stretch it only on the y-axis. By scaling only the y, the angles change as they lengthen. How can I keep them from dafault?Thanks for the help

So whenever I do replace a 3-5secs clip to after effects composition. The first few clips are okay, but it's always the last clip usually that turns black. Any workarounds? It happens to any format videos though! I usually just export the clip and do the replacement inside after effects. But not this time, I must have the video clip from premiere pro directly since I'm testing an effect. It's been frustrating!  

After latest round of updates for AE seems that when I hit preview (spacebar) render happens but then just drops out of continuing the render and plays, and I have to hit spacebar again for it to continue to render the full work area. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey guys! I am not able to desqeeze any anamorphic footages in AE 2024, But when I try to do it in AE 2023, It's working there! Is this some sort of bug in AE2024? Please let me know!

After Effects es un programa super interesante y util, me gustaria saber que me recomiendan para iniciar con el.
