Dear community, I'm currently trying to do a littel animation with this logo. I want the marked-red line to spin or rotate around the Logo.  I tried it with the CC Cylinder effect, which would technically work; but since it's already curved it's not working out at all. Also I've tried to "flatten" that curved line out. But that didn't really work either. Maybe someone of you guys have an idea how to solve this animation problem. I appreciate every answer! Best regardsPascal  

Multiple times per day I'm getting hit with low memory errors in After Effects. I've followed the suggested fixes to no avail. This occurs with small composition, large compositions, 3D work, 2D, there doesn't seem to be a common thread. I have a ridiculous amount of RAM installed (192GB) and allocated plenty to AE (168GB). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, purged memory and cache, disabled Mercury transmit, enabled/disabled hardware acceleration. I don't have any problems with the other Adobe apps or 3D software, and the RAM has been thoroughly tested.

Dear Adobe-Team,My AE is constantly stuck, even at simple tasks. When I purge and restart, everything works well until it's eventually stuck again. This process has been the case for one year now. With each update, I saw no improvement and I haven't found a solution to this even though I was searching online a lot. The Problem:Suddendly seems to not generate a preview anymore and AE takes strangely long to do simple tasks like renaming a comp. I currently have a comp open with 3 rectangles with a very simple animation, AE is struggling on 120% in activity monitor to show some image, but it won't show up. My System:New Mac Studio, M1 Max, 32 GB Memory, MacOS Ventura 13.4.1, After Effects 24.0.1 What I have tried:Purged memory and cache, constant restarting.Bought an external SSD for Caches.Updated everything.Experimented with the settings.but no improvement. I know, Ventura is a mess, and I am currently astounded how bad this MacOs works in general, but with a n

Ich muss ein Werbevideo mit der Grösse 300x600 Pixel abliefern. Es ist ein Video mit einer kurzen Textanimation. Nach dem rendern ist das Video nun vermeintlich unscharf. Für mich logisch weil der Bildschirn, an dem das Video angeschaut wird, ein Vielfaches grösser ist als mein AE-Clip. Es muss ein *.mp4-Video sein.Mein Kunde kann dies aber so nicht akzeptieren. Ich bin aber ratlos wie man die Qualität des Clips noch verbessern kann. Ich habe auch schon gefühlt alles ausprobiert. Hat vielleich jemand noch einen Ansatz daimt das Video "schärfer" erscheint? Vielen Dank!

Hi there, There's no way to describe this any more specific. I'm using the latest version of AE (22.5.0) and whenever I add ProRes RAW footage (recorded on my Atomos Ninja V via the Sony A7S III) to my project, weird things start happening. Things work fine at first, but then suddenly the comp viewer freezes and no matter where I drag the playhead or whether I activate/deactivate the ProRes RAW layer, it is burned into the comp viewer. At this point, all I'm left with is force quit AE and restart it. This also happens when dragging a ProRes RAW file onto the "New Comp" button or sometimes when viewing ProRes RAW clips in the Footage window or when changing things in the "Interpret Footage" dialogue. AE has been crashing like 10 times in the last 20 minutes, so I'm done testing this. Is this a bug? And if so, how can I fix it? And now the really big question: How come ProRes RAW has been implemented in Premiere Pro and AE for over a year, yet there is still

I would like to build an infinitely scrolling text within a 1920x80 comp. All the text that goes outside the comp is cut off. I've attached photos. I do not want to do a more complicated method that I see in other videos because this takes too much time for such a simple thing. My only solution is to always change the comp size. Any ideas? 

Hi recently i was onto a project on after effect version 24.1.0 which needed the help of content aware fill , while i was using it I encounted with an isuue where once i created a reference frame from photoshop and added it to my video and clicked the generated fill , the end result was odd . The content aware fill made my video wiggly. If its not the wiggly issue , my video would been just fine . But unfortunately it did not so I tried  searching for some youtube video base on this situation to guide me and I can't find any. Could someone please help me out. I'll be attaching a video below for your reference thankssss.

Hi all!Me and my partner have received funding to create an animation projected across 4 walls, each with a length of 6m. The height is around 3m. We are creating the animation in 11:9.  I wondered if anyone has any advice to make the concept art the best quality possible whilst also having a 'workable' file. I've never done anything on this scale and the files I've been making him been pretty unworkable once the layers start building. My partner keeps telling me he wants it to be MAXIMUM quality so once we finish the project we can maybe project it in larger spaces or create a vr experience, however I wonder what is a necessity in achieving this. I don't understand the settings well enough, I did a bit of research but im so worried about the quality being lost when we project it. It also needs to look good on a tv. It could be possible to break up the file into 4 walls with separate files, however this could be a challenge in the continuation of the image, so I'd p

Hello guys, I was wondering have anyone experience where you receive a 2.39 to 1 aspect ratio footage. But when you drag it inside AE, AE can't create composition of 2.39 to 1 aspect ratio and make the footage look distorted. How should I fix this?Footage shoot in FX3, 422

Hola!Cuando abro el after effects, por defecto me crea un proyecto sin titulo. El problema radica en que, por ejemplo, cuando abro directamente desde el escritorio algun trabajo que ya guardé en after effects, inmediatamente me aparece el cartel de "¿Desea guardar los cambios en "Proyecto sin título.aep" antes de cerrar?, debo poner en "no guardar" para que me permita acceder al que inicié desde el escritorio.¿Alguna solución?

I want to use After Effects to use projection mapping. Ideally, the content that I want to use for the projection mapping is live footage from things I am doing on my Mac screen.  Is there a way of importing video that is recorded/streamed live from my screen into After Effects? If not natively, is there plugins that allow for this to happen?

I want to create a looping video with the least amount of difference where the loop goes back to the beginning.  I'm stacking the video twice i the timeline, then making the top one 50% opacity.  This works OK, but if I could nudge the positions with keystrokes it would be easier than trying to accurately move the clip by dragging with the mouse.Does anyone have an idea?

So I've got a problem. I've made a new composition with an animation, call that comp1. I've used a black solid with the video copilot plugin Saber. I animated some stuff on top of that solid. To make sure everything looks right in comp1 I've used blending mode 'Add' for the solid layer with the Saber effect. Now the problem arises when I put comp1 into comp2, over a video file. No matter the blending mode, it never blends right. I get a rectangle over my video. I've tried to mask the black background away, but that won't work as that also gets rid of the glow the Saber effect provides. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance, sorry for wall of text.. Top screenshot is comp1, bottom is comp2.

Hi, I found a cool edit I would love to be able to create myself from material I have shot. It's this overlay, flickering effect in this trailer. It begins at 1 minute.  Syndromes And A Century - Trailer (youtube.com) Anyone have any idea on how to make this? Is it hard? Thank you for any advice!!

Working on a project with a lot of Photoshop files. Essentially a 12 fps animation with frames/photoshop files sequenced in compositions, then compositions have some fairly light motion and colour effects (contrast/B&W etc). Everything runs as expected - except everytime I undo, I get the rainbow wheel for extended periods (5-10min) or it never goes and I have to force quit AE. Have tried running AE in safemode with preferences reset and 3rd party plug-ins disabled. No difference, undo still takes forever/freezes AE. Any advice/fixes greatly appreciated as really slowing my workflow or I just avoid undoing where possible and manaully move things back to how they were.

I have such a problem when downloading After Effects plug-ins, it gives a loading error for hours.

I keep getting this "Unable to fill rectangle. GDI status: ValueOverflow" bug when I open my project on the latest version of Premiere Pro 2024. The sequence panel is blacked out, but the rest of the screen is okay. Every time I move the mouse on the sequence panel, I get more notifications of the same error.  How do I fix this? I can't get anything done.  Please help me!

I have been using after effects for a month or so but i recently have been running into an error. Every time I open a layer panel, the preview freezes and it doesnt unfreeze until i save my projects, exit AE and go back into the project. I used to use AE 2022 and this bug would still happen, so I uninstalled it and got AE 2021. The bug is still here so i figure this must be something with my computer.  My info: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics. I have put a video for visual detail to explain what Is going on.

Es posible conseguir una version de After Effects que sea compatible con Mac OS 15?

Добрый день. Почему я не могу получить доступ к ограниченной учетной записи, я не могу открыть After Effects?

hi all,I am editing a music video in premiere pro, and i want to separate a subject from the background on a certain scene.So i sent a clip to after effects using the dynamic link. the specific clip that i sent to AE is 40 Frames long, but it was cut from a 3 minute source footage.when i try to use the roto brush i can't, i can only use it on the source footage that was imported (which is very long).what am i missing here in terms of the the workflow between PP and AE ?thanks

I've edited before, and I've only ever had this problem once -- but it went away on its own (which I was very confused about.) But this time it's not really going away. Any time I do anything with motion blur, or a fade in, or really anything, its choppy. I've tried restarting my device, clearing out my cache, etc. I even tried rendering it to see if its just the playback, but even in video format it's choppy. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
