However, after camera tracking a short clip, then trying to move layers the program crashes and simply says not responding. I have tried many of the tips given throughout these forums (such as preference changes, re-installations, cache clear outs etc) with no luck and it is really stressing me out! Especially with University just around the corner!!PLEASE can somebody help me!?

Hi,It's driving me crazy.I've got that 3D ring from Blender imported in AE latest version.As I'm not able to know my 3D object dimensions, I've made this expression for the position values :------------------------------Z= 0 ;c = thisLayer ;W = c.sourceRectAtTime().width ;H = c.sourceRectAtTime().height ;[Math.round(W),Math.round(H),Z] ------------------------------------------- The position values displayed are :81 920, 7 256, 0 How is it possible my ring being larger than taller ? Am I a math genius inventing a new kind of circle ?Of course, my 3D rings seems to be right in front of my camera, no tilt on any of the camera views (front, right, left)...How is it possible ?My brain thanks you with helping it.GP 

Bonjour,Je recontre un soucis avec les rendus After effect ou Premiere pro et Media encoder.En effet, lorsque je veux exporter une vidéo assez lourde et longue type motion design avec beaucoup d'éléments ou alors une vidéo ProRes4444 sur laquelle j'ai retiré le fond vert, le gestionnaire de tâche indique une utilisation de la mémoire vive à 99 %.Pour les autres prod, je ne rencontre aucun problème. Ce soucis intervient lorsque le projet est lourd et long mais n'est pas systématique.Le rendu est extrêmement lent et s'arrête au bout d'un moment, l'application se fige au vu des indications du gestionnaire de tâche.Je suis obligé d'arrêter tout, de redémarrer le pc pour qu'il puisse me faire une sortie correcte après en plusieurs parties.Dans le pire des cas, je n'ai plus aucun affichage et le pc affiche un écran noir sans pour autant s'éteindre.Je pense que mes précédents blue screen windows étaient du à ça également car ça intervenait pendant un rendu. J'ai déjà testé de réduire l'u

Im not sure really how to say this, but every time I let aftereffect render or do something, it always renders half or a small part of my clip. I want to remove a background from this 13-second clip I have. So I roto brushed the people in it that I wanted to keep and let it render as I did it. When I play it back, it is very slow and renders a perfect part of like 1 second of the clip. I am somewhat new to after-effects (like something), so it would be nice to get a step-by-step guide on how to render playback and export. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. My settings are 4k, square pixels, full res, and 30.0038 fps (Idk, thats what my video is). FYI, I haven't yet roto. I did this three times, and I had render problems, so I want an answer before I start again.

as the title says

Bonjour, After effects se ferme dès que je commence à éditer un texte.Simplement un calque texte, sans autre élément, sans autre effet.Je pensais que c'était lié à l'utilisation de police variable mais il semble que non. Une fois planté, je dois ressayer 3 ou 4 fois avant de pouvoir ouvrir le fichier.Et après cela marche. Le logiciel plante quand je tente de changer la taille de la typo ou de modifier le texte.Parfois, cela ne plante pas.Mon pilote nvidia est à jour, ainsi que la dernière version d'After Effects. Help !!Merci d'avance 🙂  

Never have I seen so many bugs in a release. Downloaded recent Adobe updates last night - opened up an Ae file that relies heavily on imported Illustrator assets. Having to go through dozens of assets and reposition/re-keyframe all of them because they've jumped from their position. A project that I thought was almost complete is now hours away from being done. I guess this is what we expect from a company that is pouring all their efforts into AI. Also getting errors on export from Media Encoder.

Using AE 24.0.0In a new project, adding text (of any font (including system fonts)) makes render time shoot up much higher than expected, almost to unusable levels. Animation on the text increases this more. I have another project with an mp4, a solid, and a text layer. Without the text layer, the composition renders in less time than its length. With text, the composition is rendering at around 10x-50x its length. For example, a 2 minute video with text is taking an hour to render. Render previews are kind of a nightmare with text. 

AE Version: 24.0OS version: Windows 10 Home Version 22HSpecs:Ryzen 5 3600Rx 580 sapphireCorsair Vengeance 32gb ddr4Samsung 980 500gb (the software and my media cache are on this drive) HiIve had this problem for quite some time but its never been this bad.Randomly while im working AE just decides to stop generating a preview, its just freezes on the last frame i was on, i can still use the software just with a frozen preview. This happens for up to a minute every few seconds. The frame render timer in the bottom left doesnt count this time and neither my GPU or CPU have high usage when this happens so i have no idea what could be causing it. This still happens when editing a single video layer in an empty composition.If you need any more information i would be more than happy to provide it.Thanks in advance

My presets show up in the animation > recent presets window, but when clicked, the keyframes do not show up.  

Ever since the update, whenever i make or try to use a preset it doesn't save the keyframes. 

Hello! Been working to see if I can find a workaround for my misaligned Thai accent mark characters. I am using a previously working font Arial MS Unicode for Thai in After Effects. I am using lastest version 23.6 on Windows 11.I've been scouring the Adobe forums/web for a solution. I used to be able to fix this issue in years past with the "Text Engine" option set to ‘South Asian and Middle Eastern’ as noted here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/text-engine-missing-from-my-after-effects-type-preferences/td-p/12641608 And I saw there that there is a new Univeral Text Engine feature that automatically detects your language:https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/whats-new/2022-1.htmlWhich is great but for some reason, when I add in new text for Thai from another program like Word, the accent characters I compare with an overlayed MP4 video to a past video are much lower. The Word Doc opened in this screenshot is correct on the right. I have some AE

I have been plagued by the same problem since last year until now. After using it for a while ae started to appear unresponsive to any action, it felt like the cache was stuck. Clearing the cache and restarting AE didn't help, the only solution was to restart the computer. But after using it for a while it continues to do this again.When you clear the cache, the screen disappears.When this happens, even if I create a new project, AE doesn't work and the solution is only to restart.AE version ：23.6   （I've tried almost every updated version in the past year to as well as the older versions in the Creative Cloud）And I've tried if it's a problem with certain plugins, even if I don't install and use any plugins it still does it. Version :Windows 10 ProfessionalVersion number: 22H2Installation date :2023/8/2 (I tried reinstalling my computer 2 times and it didn't fix the problem.) I'm a ten year user of AE, this computer is about four years old, and suddenly this problem

I think the picture down here speaks for itself, but the maximum disk cache size is not being respected. There's something to say if it is necessary to have a bit more, like 5% - 10% of leeway. But filling 136GB on a 50GB limit is a bit much.  This is on Adobe AE version 24.0.3 (Build 2) on MacOS Sonoma 14.0, but the same issue occurs on my Windows 11 PC.  

 Устанавливаю After Effects, открываю и сразу появляются два этих окна..

 nope

Everytime I save a workspace, it gets updated with a properties panel, and my effects size panel gets reduced, please fix so HOW i HAVE MY WORKSPACE SAVED STAYS AS HOW I HAVE MY WORKSPACE SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everybody, This is kind of a dumb question, but I'm stuck in a situation where I need to find a way to export a layer with optical flares on it. As we know, optical flares need the blending mode set to Screen or something similar to shine on top of another layer. Well...I have an object that I need to shine with this, but it needs to be used as as cursor object in a game. So it can't rely on any layers below it. (attached) Is there a technique or plugin that can allow me to export/render out this object with full color but without the black? The optical flare is really the key issue (no pun intended) as the glow can render fine independently.   

Hello,To get a slight delay in my animation on each duplicated groups, i made this simple expression on a trim path :i=(thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).propertyGroup(1).propertyIndex)-1;value + valueAtTime(time+i/10) But i just want only one set of keyframes to control every groups. if i replace the "value" by a slider control for example, the delay no longer works. I don't know why.Any idea? Thanks

Hi. I'm hoping someone at Adobe can confirm what I think I've already figured out through trial and error. I have scenes and models textured in Adobe Stager that I am trying to import into After Effects bringing the materials along with the import. As an example I've imported a .glb file with around 6 bodies each with a different material used. Some of the materials make the journey to AE and some do not leaving my scene partially textured. Glass materials and others using translucency don't seem to work while a basic rubber or plastic material will work. Has anyone else had missing materials and does anyone at Adobe want to verify that not all materials are currently compatible? We're so close to being able to use AE for our motion graphics but our products are moslty glass!

Hi there, I may be missing a simple step here, but i'm kinda lost on how to make a footage Start in a Slow motion and smoothly transition to it's normal playback speed.I've tried using the Time-remap And edit the Speed graphs, but it always do weird stuff like thisThanks in advance. 

Hi,I run with a now macstudio and opened AE lastest version (23) and started with new project. While I tried to save the project on external SSD it wrote me error with saving. When I saved on the local disk into mac, it works. Could you please help me to solve it?Thank you!Aleš

I've noticed for sometime now, but today it really has come to head... in After Effects, i have noticed that you can track something perfectly (manually frame by frame of course, AE on it's own can't track anything)... so with the tracking done and the info added to either a null object or a effect (in this case, the distortion mesh offset in the Liquify effect) hit apply and what do you get? THE TRACK GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE NO WHERE NEAR WHERE THE TRACK EVER WAS!!! YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE EFFECT, CAN SEE IT IN THE MESH WHEN TICKING IT FOR VIEWING, EVEN THE [reference to profanity removed by moderator] TRACK WIRE FRAME CAN BE SEEN DIPPING BELOW WHERE A TRACK MARK EVER WAS.WHAT IS THIS? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?IT FLAT OUT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!The track looks accurate before applied to anything, once applied all the work is completely ruined...pretty infuriating... not sure anyone has a solution as it IS 100% the software being a worthless dumper fire no where near worth what it is costing it'

I was trying to integrate node editing functionality with reactflow in my extension.But the mouse dragging is extremely lagging barely useable. I tried to find the cause with performance to in the devtools. But the weird thing is after click the recording button the dragging become smooth! When I stop recording the dragging become lagging again. (see attached video) I tried setting z-index and transform to translateZ(0) and also will-change: transform but no luck.It seems that AE imposed some limitation on extensions.Is there any workaround?
