iam using the latest updated After Effects, in the new updated version, iam getting a White block shape  appearing behind vectors in After Effects after importing from illustrator, and i cant attach  the illustrator work file here in the community post,

About 2 months ago I updated my After Effects from 24.5 to 25.5. Editing and all of that are working pretty well, but when it comes to rendering, it's super slow. When I was using the 24.5 version of AE, rendering was pretty fast, but now I have to wait over 10 minutes to render a short video of 2 minutes. I've tried multiple things: updating my drivers, clearing cache, enabling the multi-frame rendering feature, and none of these things did much. My PC specs are definitely more than good enough and it doesn't make any sense for render to be that slow, I'll list them below: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600K32GB DDR4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Waiting for it to finish rendering is taking too much of my time away, if someone could help me with this problem that would be awesome, thanks!

Hi all, Bit of a random one that's bugged me for a while and I've never been able to figure out, hopefully somebody can help! I want to animate the scale of the characters in a text later but notice the achor point is always sitting at the bottom of each character (see image below, have circled the anchor points). I'd like to shift these achor points to the center on the text so the characters scale from the middle rather than the bottom, has anybody figured out a way to do this? Any help would be great! Many thanks!

Hello once again. Few days ago, I have come across a weird problem / glitch / crash that occurs that has never happened before. In an After Effects project that I am doing, I am planning on making the boomerang effect. Basically, I want to put slow-motion to a clip and then duplicate it, and reverse the duplicated layer, to give it an effect similar to boomerang. But something weird happens every time I do so. I want to give boomerang effect to different parts of a video, with the frame rate of 23.978. So in my first clip, I would pre-compose it, put twixtor pro to it (I put the frame rate of the video as it is in the twixtor, which is 23.978), then pre-compose again. Then I duplicated that pre-composed layer with twixtor inside it. I moved it right next to the 1st layer, and then I what I did was : right click > Time > Time-reverse layer. It worked perfectly fine. But then, I cut to another part of the video to make the boomerang effect with and also to put twixtor. So I did the

Preciso baixar a versão de 2022 do After Effects, no entanto, mas o menu de "Outras Versões", não existe mais. Por favor, retornem com essa opção. Não é justo obrigar assinantes a usar somente a última versão. Se nossos computadores não atendem as especificações dela, temos que usar os produtos adequados ao que temos.

In After Effects, there’s an option called “Notify when queue completes” when rendering.But I’m not sure how to use it, especially to get notifications on my phone.I checked the Creative Cloud mobile app, but it looks like the mobile version has been discontinued by Adobe, so I can’t receive any notifications through that.Is there any way to make this feature work, or is there an alternative method to get a notification on my phone when rendering is finished?Thanks in advance!

Hi, really hoping someone can help me. Spent the last 4 hours trying every tutorial I can find on this and absolutely zero progress, pretty much given up.Essentially I want to create just the shape in the middle and ‘ripple’ out concentric copies so I end up with the full set of offsets. Ideally I want the shapes to be no fill/stroke but with a darker inner glow/shadow. The original shape is in Illustrator (although the image is created in Photoshop. Am assuming the best way is to create the glow/shadow effect in After Effects around the shape of the path?Everytime I try I can’t get a glow without a fill or stroke which ruins the effect.Has anyone got any suggestions?  I’m pretty new with AE although used Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign for decades.Start frame – still struggling to create this in AE (this is a PSD file just to show what I’m trying to achieve)Ideal End Frame 

I stopped using after effects for about a month, tried opening it and had this problem, not really sure what could be causing this problem, ive uninstalled after effects and creative cloud as a whole but that did nothing. Ive tried starting in administrator, deleting my preference folder, allowing all adobe software through my firewall. I cant really think of anything else to try so if anyone has any ideas please let me know, if you need more information let me know.Thanks   Title edited by Mod.

We always make animations in AE and export to .mp4.However, we'd like to learn how to import our AE project in to a software programme and export to .SVG (export to SVG from AE would be nice)What is the correct work flow for this task? And indeed, what is the correct Adobe package or other?Animated GIFs and .swf files aren't quite right.This is just for simple animated logos for the time being. On a transparent layer even. Are SVGs limited to line art?All help appreciated!Matt

Hi, im trying to duplicate a composition in after effects and make it independent from the original but it seems to be imposible.. im working on CS5. Can somebody help me PLEASE??Thanks

Due to a workflow in place, my motion team and I create MOGRT's and provide them to our editing team for subbing. It’s usually a simple glow on text etc. This is good for temporary approval, but afterwards my motion team need to recreate these subs in AE for collect purposes. This is quite a time consuming process of scrubbing through the subtitles made on the edits, and recreating the style as words animate on for example, on our end. Is there any workaround anyone might know, to perhaps bring in MOGRT's from a premiere sequence, after they've been used in an edit as subs, back into After Effects. Equally a potential way to improve the situation would be to at least see some sort of marker or keyframe when importing back into After Effects, after the MOGRT’s been used by our edit team - So my Motion team can hop directly to each keyframe/marker, instead of scrubbing through.It’s a tricky topic as research on my end seems to not be very specific about bringing MOGRT’s that have been su

Hello, I have a question and I hope somebody can help. I'm trying to open an After Effects file of an animation I've made in 2023. When I open it, the loading bar gets stuck at 97% and also the program doesn't respond so I have to force quit it.I already tried to empty the cache, download an older version and open the file in it, restarted my macbook, but nothing seems to work.Is there anything else I can try? Hope there is a solution for it.

Hello. I have project and there is used Cineware to render 3D coupons falling from the top.. Project was developed in AE2025 and there everything works like a charm..But when I open project in AE2026 (or 27beta), texture is deformed and tiled somehow.. It looks like something invert normals, but in 2D.I need to keep project in 2025 what is not optimal way to work when all other projects are already shifted to 2026.Sample screens atached. Windows 11, latest drivers, latest adobe versions..I can provide reduced project if it helpsAE 2025AE 2026 and 2027 

A quick question, but I’m looking to redo this animation as I don’t have the original file for it, is it possible to do this in After Effects or is it a Cinema 4D job? Obviously a simple loop would be easy to do with trim ends on a path, but notably on this animation the outer loop passes under the inner one at one point and looks like it’s slightly see through as it passes over another-  so would be a bit of a job but is After Effects capable of building it? TIA :)

Hello! I am looking for some help. I am currently editing a video in which I am using around 200 photos. I make compositions for pairs of photos and then edit them in their separate compositions. I am planning to then use these compositions into a bigger one to fit them all together. However, I am running out of space. Even after clearing my disc cache, I only have 13GB of storage. I am not even a quarter way through the photos. Is there a way to do this without taking up so much space? I was considering rather transferring the file onto a USB but the After Effects file is only a few hundred kb. Otherwise, does the numerous compositions make it take so much space? Any advice is helpful! Thank you!

I’m learning Adobe After Effects and I’m interested in creating short gaming-style animations inspired by the fast-paced visuals of Geometry Dash. I’d like to experiment with glowing objects, transitions, motion effects, and beat-synced animations.While looking for Geometry Dash-related resources, I came across Geometry Dash APKs and it gave me some ideas for the type of gaming visuals I could recreate as an animation project.For someone just starting with After Effects, which effects and techniques would you recommend learning first for this kind of energetic gaming-style animation? Hyperlink removed by Mod.

Hi, I'm having a problem with After Effects.When I open the program and click on my project, it simply closes. How can I fix this?

My coworker found these in the Program Files folder ( Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [Version]\Support Files ). We were hearing them and wondering where they’re used. I have found no mentions of them anywhere. Are they just an easter egg or something left by the devs?

How can I achieve the motion that is at the bottom of the HOW&HOW website?https://how.studio/I really like how it scrolls and tumbles 

I’m working on a small creative project in Adobe After Effects and I want to create a cute pink cat character with simple animations. I’m still learning After Effects and would like to know the easiest way to animate things like blinking eyes, moving ears, and a small bouncing motion.I’ve also been looking at different APK Kucing Pink designs for inspiration, especially for the pink cat character and overall visual style.Would you recommend creating the character directly in After Effects, or designing it in another app first and then importing it? Also, which After Effects tools or effects would be best for this type of simple character animation? Hyperlink removed by Mod.

Whenever I am masking and curve the mask by clicking, holding, then dragging, I can't make a straight line after that point. After the curved line, I click to make another point and it becomes curved automatically. How do I fix this?? I want it to be straight after.

Dear Adobe Teams,Working through the After Effects SDK's (2019) Smart Render pattern, and the sample code leaves the ownership/lifetime of pre_render_data genuinely ambiguous.In PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE_RENDER (SDK/Examples/Effect/R_O_I/R_O_I.cpp, ~line 201):cppextra->output->pre_render_data = new ROI_RenderInfo();ROI_RenderInfo infoP = reinterpret_cast<ROI_RenderInfo>(extra->output->pre_render_data);if (!infoP) {    err = PF_Err_OUT_OF_MEMORY;} else {    // ...infoP fields get filled in here...}Then in PF_Cmd_SMART_RENDER (~line 392), the same data comes back through extra->input:cppinfo.we_care_about_alphaB = (static_cast<A_Boolean>(extra->input->pre_render_data));That's the entire lifecycle shown in the sample. I checked the whole file for delete, free, or any assignment to output->delete_pre_render_data_func — there is none. The struct allocated with new in PreRender is read once in SmartRender and then never explicitly disposed anywhere in this 400+ lin
