Hi! I have a lower third and need to export it as a .mogrt to use in Premiere Pro. The responsive time/protected regions works perfect in After Effects, but when I export it as a mogrt and import it to Premiere, it does'nt work.. it's like it doesn't maintain the protected regions.Has anyone the same issue and know how to fix it?

why does the blend mode option go away when you make a layer 3d? is that on purpose? or a glitch? I Dont remember having this issue in After Effects 2023. i'm running AE 24.6.1 (Build 2)

Hi, So I'm trying to make an edit on Alvin and the Chipmunks and I'm using the tracking feature but motion tile effect isn't working. Like it'll mirror the clip, but the mirrored clip will be too far away for it to look good instead of having these black bars in my video. I don't want to scale my video up so much to fix the issue because then the edit will look bad.I'm using Ae 2025, I'm on pcGPU: Mercury GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)CPU: 100% CPU for AeRAM: Total is 8 GB, 1.5 GB for other applications, 6 GB for Ae, Multi-Frame Rendering is onOS: IDK how to check

Hi, I'm trying to make an edit and I put on tracking but for some reason when I try to cache it, it just uncaches and goes in a loop. Are there any fixes for this? 

Hello, I am very new to AE, so please excuse my lack of background. I do have some familiarity with Premier Pro.I would like to draw a line that traces the movement of an object in a still frame, much like in this video:https://youtu.be/GSRYaz1gJWs?t=3m47sI have some overhead drone footage of me holding a marker and walking in a spiral. I would like to animate a line that follows the marker, ending up with a drawing of my movement. I have got as far as motion tracking the marker. I'd like to do something like converting those keyframes into a shape path that I can then animate. I'd like to avoid having to trace the path manually if possible, as I've got a few of these to do. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA

Hello, I have been having trouble with AE 25 ever since it came out where the video playback is incredibly laggy, even with the simplest animation. (Video attached.) I've tried clearing my cache and about every other setting trick. I have never had this issue with any other version of AE (2024 or before). I've been using AE24 in the meantime but would really like to update to AE25 to better integrate my workflow. But this bug remains a problem and makes the program unusable.System info    Application: After Effects v25.2.2.2    OS: macOS v14.0.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 12

Hi,I am having trouble with the extensions panel in AE - It doesn't expand when hovered over, and therefore I can't use my installed plugins. All other menu panels work as normal. I am using a MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro Chip, MacOS 12.6, and v22.6 of AE. So far I have tried:Restarting After Effects and my MacReinstalling AEDowngrading AE to previous versionsRemoving the plugins and reinstalling them As you can imagine this is rather annoying. Any suggestions would be massively welcome. 

Iv created a .mov quick time rgb alpha file in after effects that is supposed to have a transparent background in webflow however when I loads the file in Background Video the background displayed is black with the red square in the center. Is it possible to make a transparent background in webflow using quicktime .mov file in Background Video.     

I'm new to Boris AE. When I open it, the track option buttons (trans, scale etc) are unresponsive. From the effect controls panel, if I choose 'create track data', I have no available layers to choose from. I've ensured I've selected the layer I want to track. I've tried:-different projects and comps, and with different footage-using it on mov, mp4 and precomps layers-clearing caches (both boris AE and AE itself) I've ensured that the comp's timecode is 0:00, and that the footage matches the comp. Software and OS are both up to date. I'm on a Mac Studio with M4 Max chip, running Sequoia 15.5 AE is version 25.2.2 (Build 2).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to control the opacity of layers using the luma value of sample from beneath it in another comp, but it's not capturing the full spectrum from 0 (Black) to 1 (White).My setup looks like this:Main Comp - COIN_STYLE_DITHERControl Comp - COIN (Contains a 10 step gradient from black to white)40 x TILE_X Comps distributed across X, each with 10 x COLOR layers ('COLOR_X') that should turn on and off depending on what luma value is sampled from beneath it in the main comp.My issue is it's combining steps of the gradient and only mapping from 0 - 0.443 Brightness.I want every gradient band to a new colour appear over it so that 10 Colour layers map to 10 gradient bands.I know sampleimage isn't supposed to be used in this way but I thought it would work, any help would be appreciated!mainComp = comp("COIN_STYLE_DITHER"); tileName = thisComp.name; // e.g. TILE_01 mainTile = mainComp.layer(tileName); // Convert center of tile to main comp space (assuming 50x50px size)

I have some text with keyframes to change position from off screen to center, then scale up 3x with hold keyframes. When I add Pixel Motion Blur, it breaks the positioning, showing the text near the center, though the bounding box still follows the correct route. The text moves appropriately once the bounding box moves over it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhCP6m_Rx9k

Hello everyone. I m trying to create a parameter with 2 or 3 dimension. Actually just like the scale parameter. I tried to create it with PF_ADD_POINT, but it does not work by default with 3 dimension. How to specify that i want three dimensions? I did not fine any revelant field in paramDef.u.td... the other problem is that i want to have %, can I specify % in the display parameter of point? I also wold like to set the precision of my field. I would like to be able to link my paremeter naturally to a transform scale. Wich succeed with a point parameter when we are in 2D, but fails when you swap to 3D layer... any ideas?

There's a gap of variable size when the end meets the beginning. I can't get the speed just right. See the transition halfway through this video:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JEx4mJbBMek A simple setup. A 3D space, with a wall and a few characters in front. I'm moving the camera from left to right, slowing down at each character. Pre-comose the whole thing, then putting one copy next to the other.I'm fairly amateur at AE and I'm grateful for any help. 

Is there a way to make a composition to go to a random frame and stop. I want to have a grid of these random compositions in a larger main composition and each one will be stopped on a random frame. I'm going to place earch random composition into the grid manually, so there's no expression needed there. The random composition doesn't need to find out how many frames it has either if that makes it more complex, I'm fine entering that into the expression manually.  This has to be easy but I'm not good at writing expressions and all of the expressions I've found stop or go to a random frame but not both and trying to combine them hasn't worked for me. 

After Effects of Media Encoder is now rendering my files to .aep.AME suffix on the file name.  It happened after I installed the latest version.  How do I change it back and why did it change.

Hello, I am trying to make a 3D model spin in After Effects. I was successful with the first model, however, there's a particular body type that doesn't seem to like spinning. I can't tell if the parts are clipping into one another or if there's something else going on, however I have tried fixing it by turning off shadows and lights but that doesn't seem to be the case. 

I am trying to export my video in 1500 x 1080 using a 20 frame rate but it will not let me export it in 20 due to a "settings mismatch." It says it will do this due to "format constraints" but it will not tell me what needs to change. Can someone help me?

Hello,I am writing to the Adobe Community as I am desperately looking for free footage of gps tracking :Description of the footage : "On his screen, you can see a red dot moving on a map (fully digital or basic satellite view of a field/country area) where other red dots are moving more slowly".The project is a short movie that I am working on and we would really love to have some materials (the footage) to strengthen the somewhat futuristic/technology-based dimension of the movie.The context is a mad scientist that has marked/GPS tracked a dog, and this shot of the gps tracker would serve follow the dog as he escapes into the fields (while being GPS marked).As 100 % of our very limited budget has been used, we are looking for free option with of course a huge thanks and credits gratification were you to help us find / created / obtain such footage.Thank you so much in advance.May the Adobe community be blessed.
