Questions

  I've been working in a team project in After Effects with co-workers for a few weeks now and we're encountering this error whenever we try to retrieve comps from previous saves. We're also unable to share new changes with each other or invite other team members to the project. Things worked well for a few weeks but now it appears like the team project is dead in the water. Team projects has a lot of potential for remote teams like us, but this will force us to abandon the workflow for any client work. Is there a solution?

Project Collect is not working correctly. When "Selected Comps" and "reduce project" is selected as options, still collects every asset and precomp in the project. Running After Effects ver 23.5 in a Mac Studio M2 Ultra Ventura 13.5.2 (Not running 23.6 since it continuously crashes and has a memory leak problem with M2 chips).  

Hi! I am trying to scale a rectangle asymettrically and trying to keep the same stroke.I am using this expression to keep it so, but if I disalble the proportion chain and keep y 100% this happens. Any idea why? thanks in advance 🙂

Opened up After Effects this morning and created a new comp as usual, but instead this has happened. No matter what I put in the compositon nothing is viewable. It also won't play even if there is something in the timeline. This happens both from a completely new project or when I make a comp in a previous project. The odd thing is if I load up an old project it plays and works just fine until I make a new comp. I have troubleshooted with some stuff already, re booted, purged memory etc. But any suggestions would be greatly recieved! Video to show what's happening - https://youtu.be/cvhPSR3Cnwk

Hey y'all! I just got a new Macbook Air M2 and i decided to start using After Effects. However, when I try to add plugins like Twixtor to my clips and try to preview the clip with the plugin implemented, it takes forever for it to process and reproduce it. I tried purging my cache, increasing the RAM capacity, etc. It is getting so bad to the point where if I try to preview a clip without twixtor or any plugin for that matter, the clip will loop instead of previewing the whole composition itself. For reference, I am using After Effects 2020 as I was told this was the most compatible version with mac. Please help!

Sometimes when i add clips into the timeline the videos glitch and black and green lines appear for some seconds. Usually also happends that the clips are fine but after exporting the final product has this glitches in it. How could I fix this?

 

Hello, I recently reinstalled my computer (macbook 2014) from High Sierra to Big Sur 11.7.8, where I run AE 2023.2.1.  I have problem with image rendering in general - some pictures are black when imported (even though they are not cmyk) and they dont appear in any window, preview or canvas of AE. Playing videos also shows a lot of bugs and pixel distortion, or they appear green, although they play normally outside of aftereffects. Other programs are affected - photoshop preview of video layers is totally broken, turns image upside down or disassemble them.It looks like some general disagreemnent between sotware and image rendering hardware...could it be that AE 2023 doesnt run on 2014 macboook?thanks    this is really crucial for me since I teach on the computer, and I need to be sure the project are working predictably.

Hey!  I have dozens (hundreds sometimes) of layers that make pick whipping really frustrating, selecting from the list even so. It would be much easier to simply select a layer in the viewer press a key (combination) and select the parent.  Is there a way to parent layers with a shortcut instead of the parent whip pick? Thanks,  ivan

I've been looking for an image effect for a long time but I couldn't find it, this effect is the reveal of an image with a caption, I need this effect, can anyone help me find this template? 

Hello,I have been trying to animate a logo (rotating on the y axis) for my friend for his brand Eternal. His main logo is a cross with a transparent middle (as seen in the first screenshot). After making it a shape layer the middle stays transparent, however, once making that shape layer a 3d layer the middle gets filled and the cross is solid. I would like for the middle to continue transparent so I can edit the extrusion depth and add it to videos or even a website. How do I do that?

I don't know why if I use Me to explore videos, it will split my video like this.If I render in Ae, it don't have this problem. But I need to set more parameters with Me.

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a good day/night wherever you are 🙂   I came across a music video that I found quite interesting it has a choppy-like look, kind of similar to how a video would look if you shot at a lower frame rate. I wondered if the creators of this music video have used multiple images and placed them on each frame/few frames on the timeline or if there is an effect/expression that would create such a look. The link to the music video can be found below! 🙂   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJrEfOVOSBQ    I appreciate any replies you can share. Thank you!

This is the best put complaint ever to be complained.  I too don't understand the logic.  Yes I would love for the AE team to work on this instead of "other things".  Should only take a moment or two in their standards.  If it was in the old versions WHY on GODS green Earth would they remove?  outside of nafarious reasons 😞

Olá,Fiz um teste com o Camera Track, filmando um fundo verde com marcações onde eu movo a câmera. O After conseguiu fazer o tracking sem problemas. Porém, ao fazer outro vídeo com uma pessoa se movimentando, o After só gerou os track points na pessoa, ignorando totalmente as marcações do fundo.Existe alguma solução pra isso?Obrigado.----Hi, guys.I made a test using Camera Track, filming using a green background with some markers, and moving the camera. After Effects made the job without any issues. Then, I filmed a person in front of the background. That person was moving, too, and this time After just created track points on the person. No one on the background, so I can´t use them to create a 3D camera.Any solution for that?Thanks in advance.

I reinstalled After Effects and Photoshop without any luck on this one. When I go to import my .psd file in after effects, it just locks up on my mac and I get the rainbow wheel spinning forever.  It also says the application is not responding when I force quit the app.  This is an ongoing issue and I would appreciate anyone being able to help on this one.  Thanks! My system:2018 Macbook Pro 13inchmacOS Monterey Ver: 12.6.3Processor 2.9 GHz 6-core Intel i932 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RamGraphics: Radeon Pro Vega 20 4GB

I used to use this feature all the time, but it’s not been working in recent versions (currently on 24.4). It says in the manual: To go forward a specific period of time or number of frames, select the current-time display and then enter the plus sign (+) followed by the timecode or number of frames to advance. For example, enter +20 to go forward 20 frames or 1:00 to go forward one second. Precede the value by the minus sign (-) to go backward. For example, enter +-20 to go backward 20 frames or +-1:00 to go backward one second. The time doesn't change if I try the above.

Got the following warning on project launch, Can't understand how to read it or fix. Please-please-please help me  

Hi for the last month I have been struggling with the issue listed above. My only fix which was to change out my newer amd gpu for my old nvida gpu this would fix the problem and I was able to use the program normally... up until recently which the issue happens on both gpus. The crash happens at random, sometimes It will be working fine for 30 mins, other times it will crash within minutes. I am struggling to get any of my projects done and honestly fed up with this program, Im going to take my pc into to my local pc repair shop and if nothing comes from this post or that Im going to have to learn a new program like sony vegas. OS: Windows 10 Pro 19045.3448CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900XRAM: 32Gb DDR4GPU: Nvida 2060 and AMD RX 5600 XT - (interchangeable)

I found that when we replace a footage in project window, the name remains same as previous file but footage is new. I need to rename the footage manually now. Please give me the solution.
