Questions

I have a pre-comp nested in my main comp that i'd like to loop.I enabled Time Remapping, went to the last keyframe, moved back one frame and made a new keyframe, then deleted the original last keyframe.I also tried doing the same but replacing the original last keyframe with the a copy of the first one. However both methods have still resulted in the dreaded last black frame of the loop. The last frame is always black. I've gone through plenty of forum posts on this website and others and still haven't found a solution unfortunately. This is really doing my head in!Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Hey so I cant open after effects because the sapphire bundle is missing. They say I should reinstall the sapphire plugins to fix the problem but no matter how many times I reinstall it it wont work. I would really appreciate if someone could help me. 

 I have these popups when I turn on After Effects. May I know are there anywhere I can reinstall the plugins? How can I fix the "Couldn't find main entry point for AEXD.aex (48::72)" error? Any help would be much appreciated.  

I have a clip in my timeline and when I keyframe transform values, the keyframes don't show up in my timeline. The keyframes are working (the clip is zooming and rotating) but I can't visualy see them. I also tried adding an effect to the clip and the keyframes for that don't show up for that either.I can see the keyframes for my shape layer just fine.Added screenshots to show what I mean.

Hi.I've been Googling and YouTubing this and all the info I can find is about 3D camera solving. Here's what I want to do: I have some footage of someone turning their head, and I want to put a 3D model of a hat on them that follows the movement of the head. Is this even possible? Would camera solve work for this? Or just a normal Motion Track with position and rotation? I've tried the latter quickly and I can't seem to get results. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.So first, is it even possible? If yes, anyone know how I could go about it?Thanks

I work for a video game developer and I am always having problems with footage glitching in both After Effects and Premiere. The source footage does not glitch at all.In After Effects, some clips will glitch when I export or just pre-render.In Premiere, it can sometimes glitches in the preview window and on the timeline.In both cases, the workaround has been to replace footage with a different clip temporarily and the replace it again with the proper footage. This either fixes the issue or glitches then happen again in DIFFERENT spots. This is annoying but it works... BUT, now I have a project which has 12 clips on the same screen. 2-3 of them will glitch, so I do my workaround, but then others will then glitch and this keeps happening.I uploaded a video on YouTube as an example. The following monsters glitch:- Top Left (Towards the end of the video)- Bottom Left (Shortly after appearing)- 2nd row, 3rd monster in (Shortly after appearing)Any suggestions?Thanks!

Hi, When using After Effects, I have a text box that is getting cut off by some invisible elements. I can't seem to find what the problem is. Here is a screenshot:Thanks in advance.   

Hi,I need some guidance from  seniors.  Sometimes I re-open my AE projects after months and I entirely forget  what I did to which layer/s.. I can say from watching movement/animation. But I am curious to know If there is a way to tell which layers have keyframes from 100 layers if not more!! Without selcting them all and press 'U' and scrolling for ages!!! ( I am very impatient ). Please seniors any way to know?? Thank you

Estou tentando renderizar uma composição não muito complexa em efeitos, mas as dimensões são de 29.528px por 295px e quando vou nas configurações de render, automaticamente é diminuído para 16.384px e trava ali, não é renderizado maior que isso... ja tentei pré renderizar as comps e renderizar só com os .movs mas também não funcionou!

I have an existing arrow graphic used for a logo, that needs to be animated so that it follows the shape and finishes as it is in the logo, is there a way of doing this without drawing one single path? as it is made of geotmetric shapes rather than a single stroke. 

Hi Dear Community, I'm not sure if I'm using After Effects right or not !I think it should use GPU at it maximum. it seems like it not using anything but 100% from CPU. GPU : Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060CPU : Intel i5 - 10400F PC lags and freezes when rendering a video.. Can you help please !!

This is a Ai file & importeded to Ae. Colors are set in Ai. Is it possible to animate color in Ae? Video is attached.  

I have tried to duplicate an effect and to make it independent but it keeps on making it the same.   from the top left box i have the Project screen with the composition A. i canot drill into the compostion A.   once i double click the composition A then the timeframe screen appears on the bottom. within there is many layers.   example layer 1 has effect with text and videos.  this is what i want to copy and duplicate to keep the effects but be able to change videos and texts.   I have tried all the ctrl + D and Ctrl C and V but to no avail.   Can someone help?   [Title updated by Mod.]

I was trying to make a montage on after effects and all of a sudden I experienced this glitch when I played back the video. The resolution and fps of the compostion was 1280x640 60 fps and the clip's resolution and fps was 1920x1080 50-60 fps (sadly not constant it was variable framerate I think). I thought it was a glitch because of compostion settings but when I made a new compostion with the exact details (dragged the video to the make comp button) it still showed the glitch. The glitch occured multiple times and seemed to divide the video in two halves. Here's a picture of a non glitched frame, and of a glitched one non-respectively. Please help, The same issue occured in Premiere Pro though I don't have any screenshots. Hardware:I5-4300U - CPUIntel HD Graphics Family - GPU8 GB DDR3 - RAM1920x1080p 75 hertz - Display

Hi everyone. Trying to figure out how to implement motion blur for my plugin. In a nutshell, exactly what code I would need would be CC Force Motion Blur. I don't really at all understand how concept of motion blur should work, so any help would be much appreciated. Even better, code example would be great. My plugin mostly uses transform_world. Thanks!

How do you expand the buffer correctly, because I always get the "invalid max_result_rect" error from AE and how do you SAMPLE in that expanded buffer? What do you do with Distortions or Blurs? They are supposed to sample out of bounds. This little issue here is just beyond my capabilities I swear. I just can't comprehend the fact that I managed to implement GPU Acceleration for CUDA, OpenCL, Metal and DirectX, and I can't do something as simple as expanding the buffer and sampling out of bounds. You all should really update the SDK with a sample plugin that does this, there's only Resizer which is a non-SmartFX plugin, that does not help at all, yk??Please provide example codes!

My question is fairly simple but haven't found a good solution yet. The image below shows all key-frames have been placed on a layer I am wondering is there any ways that can quickly space out those dots evenly. like this image below:I use photoshop / illustrator as well. they have a series of buttons like this: Does After Effect has something similar tools like that as well? if not, how can i quickly achieve the evenly space out dots.Thanks, Appreciated

I am trying to get a shape layer to orient along the path but i need to use expressions (i need it for a setting in stardust) .I can get it working if the path rotates in only 1 direction using these expressions on either the x, y or z rotation)delayT = framesToTime(effect("Orientation Delay")("Slider")); // seconds // Pilfered from dan Ebberts - https://www.motionscript.com/design-guide/auto-orient-y-only.html p1 = thisComp.layer("Spin Controls") .toWorld(thisComp.layer("Emitter Light").transform.position, time); p2 = thisComp.layer("Spin Controls") .toWorld(thisComp.layer("Emitter Light").transform.position, time + delayT); delta = p2 - p1; // comment out the orientation required xOrient = radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(delta[2],delta[1])) + value; // yOrient = radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(delta[0],delta[2])) + value; // zOrient = radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(delta[1],delta[0])) + value;  However once i want to add say rotations i

Hey! Does any of you kind people have any experience with using the bodymovin plugin to convert AE animations to JSON files? I'm just doing a basic handwriting effect and plays out perfectly on AE. But when I export it, the things a mess. It writes all at the same time and misses out half the letters? Any help would awesome. Thanks folks!Gareth.
