When I replace a clip in my timeline inside of Premiere Pro with an After Effects composition, my Ae opens up to an empty composition.I'm using the BETA version of both Ae and Pr. Posting this to either find a solution or atleast let the devs know. 

Hi there! Is anyone else experiencing difficulties building the GPU sample on a Mac (M3 with Xcode 16) for SDK_Invert_ProcAmp?The log indicates an issue with SDK_Invert_ProcAmp_Kernel.metal.h issue the file looks incomplete, which might be related to Boost or the Python version, although I'm quite sure both are set up correctly.If anyone has suggestions in general, especially for an OpenGL workflow,I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

hi all, i have a distorted (glitchy effect) video. (displace pro plug-in , the displacement map is taken from  a "old glitchy VHS video" resource, it alters the video by luminance/hue)i would like that the sound also be "glitchy" as well, in sync with the glitched video. want to use the Modulation effect on the audio layer, but i need a number value to link it to the parameters of the effect so the sound is altered when the video is slightly/very glitchy. so i figured - if i can get a number value from an expression that calculates the difference between the original video footage and the final glitchy video footage - i could link that number to the Modulation parameters and the desired effect would be obtained. so, can anyone tel me how to write that expression? number = orig_layer - glitched_layer ? would so much appreciate this. i mean the internet is filled with "how to make video react to sound" but not 1 answer about the other way around.ai

Dear Adobe Team, I am writing to you because I have a strong desire to start learning Adobe After Effects. I am a 16-year-old high school student and, unfortunately, I am unable to afford a monthly subscription, nor do I have a bank card for online payments. I have a significant interest in video editing and I hope to be able to develop my skills. I know my request is unconventional, but I sincerely hope you might consider making an exception for me. Would you please consider granting me free access to the program until I turn 18, which will be on February 10, 2027? I am ready to provide proof of my student status (e.g., student email or official document) if required. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Hello, I am having issues and it's honestly the same issue that has happened a few times this year. I don't even remember how I solved it and now it's come to a point where I absolutely do not have the time to troubleshoot this anymore.  I have attempted to fix this myself by installing different versions of after effects to see if that would help change this issue and had zero success. Here's the issue:  every time I try to import into after effects, which I will sometimes either double click in the project space window or manually select file to import or sometimes even try to hit command + i.  I've been using after effects for the past 17 years so I am a seasoned veteran.   Macbook ProChip - Apple M4 ProMemory - 48 GBI would also like to note that the company I work for uses SharePoint (sharePoint has given me many issues and I'm not sure if that is the reason why this is happening).  I even tried at one point to disconnect from

I posted a how-to for creating preview files for Mister Horse Animation Composer and Premiere Composer extensions.

Im trying to post something to instagram in a carosel with three slides. When I export the artboards from illustrator to my phone to post on instagram it's seemless. But i want to add a video from after effects. So I upload each individual artboard from illustrator into illustrator from after effects, place the video then over to media encoder. But after i've air dropped them to my phone and try to upload to illustrator they dont line up correctly. They look fine in the preview but not on the actual post. Any ideas? I added some photos below

Hello, I'm having trouble dragging and dropping files from file explorer to after effects. I tried to drag and drop files with the correct format but I can't import them into after effects. I've checked whether after effects is running in run administrator, but after effects is running normally, not in administrator. Now I can only import files using ctrl + i and it's really slowing me down in my work. Please help me.

I have a project where there are multiple styling layers that all share the same path referenced by a blue shape layer in this example I have an orange shape layer that has strokes and trim paths (stylization), beneath this layer there is a reference path layer that should be used on orange only as a path. Now in this exact case I can just copy the rectangle path and paste it into the orange layer (which is what I actually did) but lets say I have 100 of these stylization layers and copying the path to all of them one by one seems a little bit time consuming. And the idea of having to re-copy all of it when I make the slightest change to the reference path doesn't amuse me too. So the possible solution would be to create a path on an orange layer and make an expression likepath = thisComp.layer("REFERENCE LAYER").content("Group 1").content("Path 1").path;But if I want to do that I need to merge all my contents in the reference layer into one path. Merge paths doesn't look like an optio

Macbook Pro 2021 14 inchChip: Apple M1 MaxMemory: 64GBmacOS Tahoe 26.1After Effects V25.6.0 I am having a green flickering and gllitching issue in After Effects which I have not had previously. I have attached an example - just moving a shape using the position tool sometimes creates a green flash/glitch. I am not using any video assets, just moving PNGs and shapes/masks with position keyframing. I have attached an example - it may be hard to see on first view but at it's worst from 00:01-00:02 and 0:11 - 0:13 and can be seen clearly when slowed down or dragging through the keyframes. I ahve also attached my composition settings.It appears on the actual composition working file, not just after exporting it. I have tried the following from similar threads from years ago and none have worked so far:- Disabled both "display > hardware accelerated decoding" and "import > hardware accelerate composition layer and footage panels"- Switched between Mercury Software Only and Mercury

I download new fonts and install them. I open After Effects, and it recognizes the fonts. I try to select this font, click on it, but it doesn't open. How can I fix this?

Hi, I’m investigating speed differences between Fractal Noise and Turbulent Noise. There’s a lot of decade-old videos on YouTube and documentation on the web saying that Turbulent Noise renders faster than Fractal Noise. Even the most-up-to-date official AE help pages say that "The Turbulent Noise effect takes less time to render." ( https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/noise-grain-effects.html ) However that is not my experience at all on my M2 Mac Studio running AE 2025, where Turbulent Noise performs worse than Fractal Noise. I have significantly faster (up to 3 times faster) renders with Fractal Noise versus Turbulent Noise. An Adobe Community thread from 2017 mentions that Fractal Noise was a new addition to the GPU accelerated family in 2017. ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/fractal-noise-bug/td-p/9294540 ) I examined my GPU usage in Activity Monitor and found that Fractal Noise utilizes my GPU much more effectively than Turbulent Noise. So I'm wo

I'm trying to zoom out with the character staying in place, but as you can see in the video, the character follows the camera. How can I lock it in place?

About two days ago I was working on an edit in After Effects 2020. I opened Google to look for an image and suddenly both After Effects and Google crashed (at least I think both did — I’m not 100% sure). I didn’t panic because crashes happen sometimes, but after that, AE wouldn’t let me reopen my project. I thought my laptop might’ve overheated because the fans were going crazy, so I let it cool down. The next day, I opened After Effects again — it worked fine at first. But when I tried to open my project, it just wouldn’t load. What’s weird is that I can make new projects and open them with no issues, but my older projects won't open anymore, except I've tried opening a project I've made in August and that worked but the one that I need doesn't open I’ve tried everything I could think of:• Resetting my AE preferences (like six times)• Restarting my laptop• Updating my system• Basically every fix I found online Nothing works. I’ve never had this issue before and I have n

Hello Everyone, Hoping to find a solution for this issue here. I just updated my AE to version 25.2 and when I opened my project it gave me a message that Deep Glow effect is missing. I manually checked and saved the effect in the plugins folder as what was suggested in tutorials but it still showing as missing when I open After Effects. Anyone had the same issue? 

I've been getting the following error when opening After Effects: "After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load Please reinstall these plugins:" The supposed location is not there, and the only found effects are for Premiere and not AE. They also don't show in the effects manager panel to turn off. I don't use them/know what they are for, but it leads to my AE crashing continuously while working.  I reinstalled AE and deleted my preferences and I'm still having the issue. Running version 25.6 and Red Giant/Universe is updated as well, been an ongoing issue for 4+ months. Thank you!

I have a simple line animation (with expressions) that simulates a waveform audio visualization.Is there any way with expressions to include it in a (responsive time with intro/outr) mogrt, and be unaffected when I extend the unprotected area ?

After Effects 25.6 decided to stop working and it is racking my brain on what happen. I have manually trashed the preferences, unistall/installed AE and all my adobe apps (including cloud), and have deleted the few plugins/extensions I do use (Artlist.io and Animation composer) and have restarted my computer. Tried the tips in this post but none of those plugins are used on this computer. The beach ball of death pops up during the repair options and I have to force quit the app everytime.  The same happens with previous versions of AE now but AE Beta seems to work just fine. Running on Apple M2 Max64 GB MemoryTahoe 26.1
