Questions

Hi, Just a heads-up for some people who might encounter the same issue. I couldn't open an AE project file from an earlier version (2023) into 2024 - including any auto-saves. The warning message also mentioned cineware being an issue. Finally, I managed to open up the project in a BETA of AE, delete my C4D files in the project browser (along with the composition) and save. Then it would open up normally. I'm assuming there's some issue with an older version of cineware and C4D files that prevented it from being opened. Hopefully this might help someone out.

After Effects is freezing and making crash files when I'm opening it. What should I do?

Hallo!  Ich nutze die aktuellsten Versionen von Premiere und After Effects auf einem MacBook Pro 16", Ventura 13.2, 96GB Ram und habe Probleme bei der Wiedergabe meiner Timeline auf meinem externen Monitor BenQ PV3200PT, MiniDP auf USB C, 60hz. Wenn ich in AE oder P meine Timeline auf dem externen Monitor abspiele ruckelt es wie wild. Ziehe ich AE oder P auf den Monitor des MacBooks läuft alles smooth. Wenn ich das Premiere Fenster zB halb auf den MacBook Monitor ziehe und halb auf den BenQ habe läuft auch alles smooth.Sobald AE komplett auf dem externen Monitor ist, ruckelt die Wiedergabe wieder.  Es ist total egal, welche Art von Footage ich nutze.  BenQ ist schon komplett zurückgesetzt. Ich weiß nicht weiter.  Hat jemand eine Idee?  Herzlichen DankRoman

Hello guys,first of all I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect. I just started using AE and tryed following a tutorial to track a title to my video.All worked fine until I applied my tracking data to my null object, suddenly the preview windowstopped showing my Image. I searched here for solutions but didn't find anything, I closed AE and did it again, same problem after applying my tracking data.   The image above shows the new window where I tracked everything. The image below shows my composition after applying the tracking data.  It seems that the programm still does what I want but I just can't see what I'm doing, AE just shows me the white outline of my image. I hope you guys can help me out, I know AE is an awesome programm but it's realy frustrating with such problems that you just can't figure out. Thanks in advance,Broady (My specs, if needed:AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, 8x 3900 MhzGeForce RTX 2070 Super, ASUS Dual-RTX2070S-8G-EVO, 8 GB GDDR6

I've animated a layer with multiple position keyframes, and now I want some of those keyframes - but not all of them - to have an overshoot expression applied. In other words, I want an expression to only affect certain specific keyframes on a layer.I've been told that it's possible to do this using a checkbox control and keyframe the expression on or off as necessary. Unfortunately, I have no coding experience and I can't work out how to link an expression to a checkbox such that the checkbox can be used to enable or disable that expression.Any advice gratefully received!

Hey everyone, just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone had found a solution to the screenshot issue - where the start and end point is visible when using a circular audio wave?? I'd like it to look as if there isn't one.Thank youuuu 

i have a 7 day free trial for after effects and downloaded it and followed what it automatically did, it opened creative cloud and after effects isn't there? i'm able to search it up but when i click on it it just takes me back to the like start page and i'm not sure what to do, could anyone help?

In Premiere you get the option to Sequence > Render In to Out which renders out the selected portion of the timeline so there's no stuttering when playing it back in the program. Is there an option to do this in After Effects? Thanks

HI,I have rendered files with extra margin on all four sides.I can make it visible in Nuke, but I don't see any setting in After Effects, that enables them.The image seems just cropped, like having not that margin.(Also in Photoshop it is visible by default)Thanks for help 

Adobe recomends 16 GB memory. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/system-requirements.html#macos But everyone on Reddit says that's way too little:https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterEffects/comments/1ah1ck4/which_is_better_for_after_effects_m2_macbook_air/Some people recommend, 32GB, 96GB, or even 128GB.  As I'm struggling to understand these stats, I'm a little despondant at the idea that I can't trust Adobe's own requirements. I'm just a hobbyist. I'm not processing huge, HD projects. What's an actual, useful list of stats for a Mac running AE?

As a designer collaborating with animators in collaborative environments, I frequently find myself navigating between Photoshop and After Effects. While I'm aware of methods to reflect existing Photoshop layers in After Effects, seamlessly integrating newly added layers poses a challenge.Illustrator/After Effects workflow is much easier for adding new layers using Overlord


.How do studio folks and those who work in collaborative environments handle the back-and-forth workflow between Photoshop and After Effects, especially when integrating newly added layers? 


Thanks for your advice in advance

as seen in the image my frame is green and beyond that frame are constantly flickering, anyone know a fix?

I've been using After Effects consistently for about 4 months. Recently, I've had a problem where, sometimes when I minimize After Effects or switch to any other tab/program, my PC freezes for about a second, then blue screens. It only happens when I minimize AE or switch to another tab/program. This is the exact thing that I see when it blue screens:  I haven't installed any new software or hardware, made no changes to my settings in AE, and this doesn't happen with any other software ever.  I have the newest version, I've tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it, I've tried using an older version of AE, and updating my drivers and computer, but the problem persists no matter what.And something weird is this only happens on some days. For example; one day I could be using AE perfectly fine for 2 hours straight, and the next day it will crash the first time I try to minimize it to go to another program. It's so random.The blue screen doesn't go away, so I have

Hi all! I encountered a problem with the after effect. I can’t save a project to an external SSD drive SAMSUNG T7 on a MacBook Pro M1. Every time you minimize the application (after effect) an error occurs (attached below)Before this I worked on Windows, also from an external hard drive Samsung T5, everything was ok.Read about possible fixes for granting disk access. The toggle switch is turned on, attached a screenshot.If anyone can tell me what to do, I would be grateful. Thank you!    

I'm using After effects for making an animation but at a certain point the app crashes and keeps opening Adobe access page in my browser. I've accessed but if after effects remains open the pages keep spawning unstop. This problem is persisting. Thanks.

Have checked the permissions issues and deleted preferences to get ae working in Sonoma.I would say every third project I open is crashing out at about 95%turning hardware acceleration off in Display and Import doesn't help.Thought I would mention it here in case there is a memory leak or something.I assume Apple just turned everything upside down for no reason again.drive is encrypted if that helps Can someone just write a bit of ML to tag this for me??

 Hey guys, so I just did some editing and in After Effects itself in the preview the audio is matching perfectly no problem, but when i render and look insinde my desktop folder for finished rendered videos and preview it the audio is delayed by like 10 seconds, I really don't know what to do so any help would be a livesaver thank you.

When I try to export a project the rendering process is stuck and won't move for example it is 8%/ 86/960 frames.The only way it moves a bit is when I turn off multi frame rendering but it doesn't really help.Render settings: best settingsOutpt module: QuickTimeRAM: 82GB

Hello,When I click align to center, it changes the position of both layers.BUT I need to center 'coffee revenue' to the line without moving the line itself.Is it possible?Thanks! Video: https://gyazo.com/22d55affce331cad9c3cb182c2dea318

Hi In an AEGP I'm building a function which can loop through all layers and effects in a given composition. The problem is that my effectsLen (number of effects on a layer) will return a very high number of several thousands even though there are only one effect in my test project.What is weird is, if I exclude this line:  ERR(suites.EffectSuite4()->AEGP_GetEffectMatchName(installedKey, &effectMatchName));  ... it will work and effectsLen will correctly be 1. If I add it, effectLen will be wrong. I fail to see what these have to do with each other? The error message I get is actually a "Plugin ID is invalid".  static PF_Err LoopThroughEffects ( AEGP_CompH compH, AEGP_GlobalRefcon plugin_refconP) { PF_Err err = PF_Err_NONE; AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(sP); AEGP_PluginID plugin_id; A_long layersLen; ERR(suites.UtilitySuite6()->AEGP_RegisterWithAEGP(plugin_refconP, STR(StrID_Name), &plugin_id)); ERR(suites.LayerSuite8()-&

Good Morning.The title to this question may not do much justification, so please walk with me closely. Thank you very much. I'm trying to get a text to move vertically(upward), from one point to another. Let's take for example, on a Y-axis, I want to move a text from point 0, to point 3, and then back at point 2. Works well with Linear Keyframes; the moment I change the interpolation to Bezier, it moves from 0, to 3, to 3.5, and then back to 2.It's Bezier, so the movement becomes distorted and unpleasant. The only remedy I am aware of, is to use the Vertex tool to make adjustments. Do I always have to make this vertex adjustment everytime, or is there something about using Bezier on position Keyframes that I'm ignorant on, because I have neither experienced this with scalling, nor rotation Keyframes. Thank you.   

Hello, I've wiped my computer and had to re-install my CS6 package. This is the second time I've done this, and had AE issues. Last time, I was directed to a page with download links, is there a new download patch I have to use for Mac OS High Sierra? I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks.

Im using after effect. My hardware is intel i510400f, 16gb ram 3200, rtx 3050. What should i upgrade to reduce the render time until around 2 times?
