I have an arrow moving along an extended path using a trim paths operator and a trace path null.  I would like to track the arrowhead (linked to the end of the stem by parenting to the trace path null) as it moves through 2D space.  Only way to do that that I know of is to use a camera to track the arrowhead as it goes off the confines of the original comp,  so I need layers to be 3D.  Fine, I make the layers 3D. Now suddenly the trace path null is thousands of pixels back in Z space.  One screenshot shows where the trace path null populated the moment I turned it into a 3D layer.  No clue why this happens, but I figured I could make a corrective null to counteract that move and get it back to the correct position (new null, parent TP null to new, move new null to correct z pos).  This brings the arrowhead to the correct z position, but when I try to move the camera with the arrow no dice. The arrowhead lags behind, still moving forward, but much slow

Do you know the camouflage effect of the predator from the first 1987 film? How would it be done nowadays step by step in after effects?

I want to use roto brush tool in different layers.But there have a porblem is, the effect of roto brush tool only create on first layer.when I was using roto in another layer, there have been no roto effect, the effect created on first layer.what is this solution ? 

I've got a still image (and later will use a video) on a layer and I want to emit particles from it. Can someone tell me how to do this? All the layer emitter tuts I've seen relate to 3D objects.  Thanks for any assistance.

I'm using CS4.When I try to select an anchor point, any actions I take immediately highlight the position and move the position - not the anchor point. I am using the selection tool - doesn't matter if I select via the layers or via the display - same thing happens.Any thoughts?Thanks!

After Effects warning: The directory C:\Users\...could not be created.  Please check the parent directory protection or permission rights."  Other programs have loaded and work properly.  Any ideas or fixes?

I'm working on a project for a client and have been given a PSD file with multiple artboards, some of which contain vector smart objects.  I have only ever worked with layers in AI so I am not sure how to work with PSD smart objects.  Is there a way to import these to AE and edit the layers in that object or do I need to open the smart object and put those indivudual layers in the artboard?  I hope this makes sense, it would be great to get advice ASAP as I'm short on time! Thanks.  

When I open after effects and make a compositionIt shows the black compositionBut as soon as I click on shape and wanna make a shape or even type a text the black composition disappears and becomes like a mask Even tho the shape has no fill color in  preview and just shows linesWhat's the problem ?Also it's not in wireframe mode as u would think  

I have layer 1 , and layer 2, but maxium size width of layer i can set by scale expression. but i want to have both layers maximum width but same font size. how to do it?  for scale of text layer for maximum width and hight i use this expression:maxW= thisComp.width * 0.30;maxH= thisComp.height * 0.04;r = sourceRectAtTime(time);h = r.height;w = r.width;s = w/h > maxW/maxH ? maxW/w : maxH/h;[100,100]*s  But now want both layere are linked with max width but have font size same. if both layers are separate they have more and less number of characters and their font size differs, now i want to have both have same font size , with maximum width linked for both layers.

Estou trabalhando numa animação 2D tradicional, e nesta etapa eu preciso seguir a minha timesheet com os frames pra fazer toda a parte de diálogos, porém sempre que eu repito um frame anterior o After renomeia ele como apenas mais um frame novo adicionado, mesmo sendo um frame repetido.Ex.: Durante o diálogo eu preciso fazer o lipsync utilizando 3 frames (A1, A2 e A3).Porém sempre que eu repito alguns dos frames o after utiliza um rótulo sequencial de frames, ou seja: 1(A1), 2(A2), 3(A3), 4(A1), 5(A3), 6(A2) e assim vai.Minha dúvida é saber se existe algum pluggin ou script pra fazer o After repetir o número original do frame ao invés de continuar sequenciando baseado no numero totla de frames. 

I think there is a bug in AE 2024 (2024.0.1), in the Essential graphics panel : When I create an essential graphic to export it as a mogrt, I give it a name, in the first field (at the top of the EG panel, see the screenshot joined). But when I export it as a mogrt, the name I typed is lost and replaced by "Untitled" (You can see it in the EG panel when the export last window opens). I tried to save my project just before to export the mogrt, but I have the same result, and when I import it in Premiere Pro, it appears as ""untitled", I have to rename it again in Premiere.It's really annoying... Is there any special handling required or is it a bug ?Thanks for your help and answers.C.V.

Oh boy. Something seriously borked with sync settings in AE.Keyboard shortcuts and Comp presets, etc not syncing between two fresh installsLooking at the Preferences Folder in User>Library>Prefs>Adobe>AE>23.5Customised Keyboard shortcut are normally saved in >aeks Folder as the Custom_Name.txt.But when you sync, adobe throws all the users shortcuts in to the Root Level of the version Prefs folder and appends ".txt.txt"Help!Tried resettting Prefs in boh machines.

I need to be able to paste HEBREW text into After Effects, but there is no setting to change the paste from Right to Left.  This setting IS in Premiere, so you would think it would be easy to put this into SETTINGS in After Effects as well.  I can copy the Essential Graphics layer from Premiere and paste it into After Effects, but then I need to adjust the position, font, size, and Style to match the template we have set up-what a hassel.  Please add this feature to After Effects to allow PASTE RIGHT TO LEFT.

Hi everyone,I'm running After Effect 23.6 on MacOS Ventura 13.5.Starting from the 23.1 version After Effect started to cash or not closing properly. It always say that is a plugin issue, but even if I deactivate every single third party plug in it keep crashing.I've already uninstall All Adobe program and reainstalled, I've even reinstalled Ventura on my MAC.But no result.This morning I've tryed to import a C4D file and even that was causing a crash.Please any tips how to solve this. Thanks a lot  

ver 23.6Mac Os X Ventura 13.4.1 (22F82)hardware: 3.5 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W, AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 GB, 96 GB 2666 MHz DDR4 problem: playback of audio (wav files) does not line up with the time scrubber. The longer the comp duration the worse it gets.  steps:1. import a Wav file,2. create a brand new Comp that only conatins the wav file.3. display the waveform.4. drag the time scrubber out to a spot where there's some silence (the best way to identify problems with sync.)5. play and watch that the silence is where the waveform says it is.  expected results: audio playback locked to the waveforem.actual results: audio playback is not synced to the layer. my tests show that the time offset for audio, is VARIABLE, but it's always wrong.rendering is not tested, but since the entire comp is cached, you can expect it to be the case.  if this is not obvious from the description... This is a show stopper bug.

I have no earthly clue what's happening, but despitemy attepts to export a very humble comp (literally half second animation mov files and png image sequences for a mighty 62 seconds worth of timeline, not even any sound yet), it has proven impossible. I've spent more time trying to hunt down a solution than actually working on the damn thing.  My computer is an older MBP, but still has 16 gb of ram, a 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics card. I've regrettably been a monthly subscriber to creative cloud (the whole thing, $60 a month!!!) for years and for whatever reason all of the adobe suite has begun to crap out on me these last few months. When I try to export with the suggested settings of Lossless, Apple Pro Res 444 or whatever, it just comes out as a .mov file with a blank screen. Worse, it comes out glichy with pops of green or blue and completely full of noise with the faint inclination of my actual f

Every time I try to lunch Mocha FX it crashes.When I click it opens the banner on the left and when I press the Mocha button it opens the SW but the window is white and stack. There is also a small window proposing the Mocha Pro but it is also stuck. Only closing the Mocha app is possible.Tried uninstalling, deleted AE, PR, all Mocha folders and files and installed again, did not solve this. Saw a 2022 forum message saying to change registers, couldn't find those registers. Please help... Need this very much
