My computer is configured with 64G of memory, and 90% is allocated to Adobe AfterEffects.I'm using AfterEffects with nothing else open. When I was compositing my project (3840*1920 @59.94 fps), it prompted me out of memory.In my project, there are only 4 shape layers, and there are no expressions, animations, 3D effects. After the insufficient memory warning, my browser, social software crashed one after another, and the whole system also crashed. In the end, I had to restart the computer to solve it. This problem has come up more than once, but this time is the most outrageous. I want to fix the out of memory issue, but I don't see the ‘Reduce cache size when system is low on memory’ button. in Preferences. The AfterEffects version I tried is 23.5Computer configuration is 12700K,RTX 3080,64G RAM,2T NVME SSD.System version is Windows 11  Professional Edition 22621.1992 

Hello, I am writing an expression that will scale in and out an object based on slider controls. The problem I have run into is trying to create a "pinch" graph effect, where the arch of the easing effect becomes tall and thin. Thanks!

  Hey there,I am new to AE so any help is appreciated.I am having trouble scaling this image to match the subject.I have UV scaling ticked but still doesn't fit.I've then went into reflectivity and tried to manually adjust but then the subject goes all blurry.any advice would be great. 

So never used after effects and im trying to do a Animated Intro for videos/stream , basically the idea is i have a text " STARTING SOON " which i animated with the effect Stroke and i want to have the animation start and finish then wait like 10 seconds and then repeat the animation from the start and then just repeat this same pattern.Tried loopout but honestly no idea what im doing. Thanks for the help in advance.

Here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCdN15jQ9CQ I can make the snow. But I can't figure out how to put it on green screen so that I can remove that color later in my final video production. I was able to make it so that it had a black background, and remove that color, but it made the edges of the snow flakes grayish black. I'd also like to make other effects on green screen, like fire in a fireplace, or candle flame, or steaming cup of tea.

I am new. I am unable to locate the slider control or angle control effect when i search for them in effects. I have version 24.1    I am trying to create a number counter. Thank you.

My video and audio tracks on Adobe After effect don't work properly. Every time I select a track nothing happens, then I have to click on the top of the track for my selection to appear. And I have to do this every time. I've contacted customer service a dozen times and every time I explain my situation, they leave the conversation without giving any explanation.

I'm trying to make a layer scale up at its inPoint and then scale down just before its outPoint. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder, so I have a hard time understanding a lot of the syntax here. I'd love to get this done with just one expression to make everything faster instead of setting the keyframes individually. I can get the separate expressions to work, so:ease(time, inPoint, inPoint + 0.5, value * 0, value * 1)makes the image scale up from the time it comes in, andease(time, outPoint, outPoint - 0.5, value * 1, value * 0)makes the image scale down just before it disappears. However, when I try to combine them like this:if(time<=inPoint){ ease(time, inPoint, inPoint + 0.5, value * 0, value * 1) } else{ ease(time, outPoint, outPoint - 0.5, value * 1, value * 0) }It does the scale up properly, but it ignores the scale down.If I try to combine them like this:ease(time, inPoint, inPoint + 0.5, value * 0, value * 1) + ease(time, outPoint, outPoint - 0.5, value * 1, value * 0

hi AE masters!What can I do with writeConsole() and writeDebugLog() global methods available on ExtendScript?I'm trying to log messages inside Visual Studio using ExtendScript debug extension but without success.I've found these functions but couldnt find what they do.cheers!

Why do they not update to ae like psd and ai files..

Hi! I am fairly new to generative fill and it's uses. I am working for a firm who want to mask out a name tag in a 20 minute long interview. I have persevered with this for a week or so now but am experiencing unbelievably long analysing and render times - even when I try to do a minute or so at a time. I cant find anything online so was wondering if there is anything I can do about this or if it is just a long process.  My pc specs are:AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 core 4.7GHz32gb DDR4GeForce RTX 3060 would appreciate any and all help with this. Thanks 🙂

Hey! I'm currently using Illustrator to change three letters into different glyphs (per the brand guide). Is there a way to do that automatically inside After Effects? I'm assuming the answer is no, since After Effects doesn't even support glyphs natively, but maybe anyone found a workaround?Best,Finn

I'm using `seedRandom` to produce random position coordinates on a layer. I'm also using `holdTime` to only change position once every second. Is there a way to keep this function but also seed the randomization so that when applying the expression to other layers I can get the same random values?I don't think I can have them parented to the same null object or just in the same pre-comp because I need to apply different layer styles and masks to different layers but I'd still like for some of them to have the same randomized positions.Below is the current expression I'm using.`var holdTime = 1;seed = Math.floor(time/holdTime);seedRandom(seed,true);x = gaussRandom(0,1920);y = gaussRandom(0,1080);[x,y]` 

I need high res or animated images that support more color that is not an MP4. I remember a couple years ago in the media encoder and the render queue that it was an option to create an animated PNG.

I think I'm close to making this work but could use some help if anybody has experience with this. I got the expressions using chatgpt and when I paste them into the source text they initally show the current time correctly in the preview. I export out of Media Encoder I've tried several formats and players but it's not working. It just stays on the same time - the whole time. A couple early versions I tried was flashing between two numbers in the minutes field. For reference here is the script for one of the time zones:// Define the time zone offset for Pacific Time (UTC-8)var timeZoneOffset = -8;// Get the current UTC timevar utcTime = new Date();var utcHours = utcTime.getUTCHours();var utcMinutes = utcTime.getUTCMinutes();// Convert UTC time to Pacific Timevar pacificHours = utcHours + timeZoneOffset;var pacificMinutes = utcMinutes;// Adjust for negative hours (e.g., crossing midnight)if (pacificHours < 0) {pacificHours += 24;}// Format hours and minutespacificHours = (pacif

I’ve been using After Effects for a little while now, but have recently run into a strange issue. I’m attempting to animate an illustration I painted, but After Effects is having trouble importing the file. This has never been an issue before. It’s one PSD file with multiple layers. I created a composition, went to import the file, and it imported out of order (alphabetical) and the layers looked odd in the composition box. The even weirder part is that I don’t have “Photoshop Sequence” checked, so I’m not sure what’s causing this issue. I even went into the original file, numbered the layers in the order I want them to appear, and it still looks jumbled in the composition. For reference, I’m importing with Photoshop as the format, Import As Composition - Retain Layer Size, Editable Layer Styles.

I'm working on a project that's not very intensive but After Effects keeps closing itself while I'm working and logging me out of Adobe. Every 20 minutes or so I'll just get a popup like when you close without saving, prompting to save the project before closing. Then I save and it closes AE. Upon reopening AE, I am prompted to sign into my Adobe account again and I can get back into the project as normal.  I've been using AE for nearly 10 years and have never had this keep happening. Does anyone have any ideas or fixes? Some relevant info: - AE Version: 24.0.1 (Build 78)- Machine: Lenovo Legion 5 Slim- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/Radeon 780M Graphics, 3.80 GHz- RAM: 32g - OS: Windows 11 Home, version 23H2- I also recently upgraded my RAM from 16gb to 32gb using Corsair RAM sticks with no immediate issues, and the other day tried to install a second SSD (4 TB) but it wasn't registering in the system, I switched around the stock SSD and the new one a couple times

When I expand a rectangle that I put inside a composition, it does not cover the entire area of the

When I export a project in After Effects through Media Encoder to a H.264 the colours are slightly mismatched? I’m matching up a shade of white by RGB and Hex values so I don’t see any reason why they’re being translated differently? Hex #F7F7F7 or RGB 247/247/247 I need to keep file size down so that’s why I’m using H.264 and I’m uploading to my personal website. I originally wanted to export as a transparent as I have a drop shadow on the edges of the video, but this isn’t possible exporting in H.264. So to get around this I’m making the video background the same colour as the background of the website, so once I upload the vid to the website the edges will be seamless. Here’s a link to the page. As you can see there’s a white silhouette around the video.  https://timsiu.com/WWWI've also attached a screengrab test, but it's harder to see the differences. Can anyone help?

For a while now I've been having the issue that whenever I Copy a position keyframe(s) from one layer and Paste it onto another, AfterEffects won't register the Paste. If I Paste it onto the layer with the Transform menu closed, a round dot will appear on the timeline, indicating that the keyframe has been Pasted onto the layer. However, when I open the Transform menu the keyframe isn't there and the dot disappears. If I Paste it onto the layer with the Transform menu open, AfterEffects doesn't acknowledge the Paste, and weirder still the Scale and Rotation options in the Transform menu will highlight as if they've been selected.  I've been having this issue for a good year or two now. My AfterEffects is fully up to date and I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but the problem persists. No matter what I do I can't fix it and I can't find anything online about this specific problem.Does anyone know what's happening? I'm not hugely savvy with AfterEffects and I'm hop

Hey,I was jsut watching this tutorial which uses a pretty clever technique to create a stabilized pre-comp from a 3d track. https://www.provideocoalition.com/after-effects-syntheyes-for-advanced-screen-replacements/I was wondering if this can be automated using Automation Blocks. It probably can be done but this might be (way) above of what I might be able to "code" with it.Maybe someone (Mathias ;-)) can help here.Best regards

Hi, is the GPU used at all for the "detail-preserving upscale" effect? I am using the effect and rendering an 8min file via the media encoder and GPU acceleration is also set, but the CPU is used 100% and the GPU runs at 5-10%. Takes about 2 hours...CPU: 5800xGPU: RTX40801) Is it normal for the effect to use the CPU?2) Are there any alternative upscaling methods that can be done via the GPU?

Hi dear people,I have issues with cineware in Ae. When I open the C4D-file in Ae, there is this process making extremely high memory numbers in the activity monitor. Even going way beyond the 100%. The process is called VTDecoderXPCService. After a while 'force quit' asks me to force something to quit, because the system is overloading.... I am able to stabilize memory when i turn off the view of the c4d-file in Ae, but this is obviously not a way to work... 😞 I have a 2022 Mac with M1 Max10 core cpu32 core GPU Memory: 64 GB I am using Ae 23.5.0 (build52) I see this person working very chill in AE with C4D, and his PC is not better than mine... https://youtu.be/8JH3W7GqOCQ Does anyone have any leads to how to fix this issue? Obviously I closed all programs that I am not currently using and have the resolution in the composition panel down to a quarter (of 4k). I addes some screenshots, to show what's going on. All kinds!
