Questions

Dear all,(I posted the text below last week in another thread, but to highlight the RGC issue I now turn the text into a thread of its own).ACES 1.3 introduced the "ACES 1.3 Reference Gamut Compression" (RGC, see under "Looks" at https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenColorIO-Config-ACES/releases/tag/v1.0.0).The RGC is mutually agreed to be "always baked-in", except when exporting ACES 2065-1 based exr-sequences to VFX-artists. The VFX-artists must then always actively choose to initially bake-in the RGC!Hence, it is critical in "Interpret Footage > Color" to add a sentence checked (enabled) by default: "The ACES 1.3 Reference Gamut Compression (RGC) is inserted by Adobe After Effects as the very first transform regarding this aces_interchange (ACES2065-1, Linear AP0) footage - as the footage itself has not the RGC baked-in."If the sentence is actively disabled by the VFX-artist, then should the "Description" part of "Interpret Footage" tell that AE does not insert th

I'm having issues with this. The roto brush will only propagate half of the clip and then it just stops. I realized the end of the clip needs some touching up but I can't even get to that part because it stops propagating around the halfway mark and all I see is a black screen. I try to go frame by frame but it doesn't even load anything besides the black screen after the halfway point. How am I supposed to edit the mask if it won't even let me get to that point in the clip? It's only a 14 second clip as well, so it's really frustrating. I've tried for hours to see if it will continue propagating so I can access that part of the mask to no avail. The green bar showing the propagation just stops after a while and all I get later in the clip is that black screen so nothing is letting me edit the mask. I have a decent computer but this is definitely eating up all my RAM, but what's the point of it doesn't even allow me to correct the mask? If there are any fixes o

Steps to reproduce:1. Set something rendering in AE (or let AE do pretty much anything that takes more than a few seconds)2. Do something else in another app while AE is thinking (eg. carefully trim the out-point of a clip in Premiere, or type an important email in Chrome)3. AE finishes what it's working onResult:The moment it's finished rendering or whatever, AE very rudely comes to the front, obscuring/obliterating whatever else it is that you were doing in another app. Expected:AE stays in the background, not hogging the limelight on my PC.System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.2.0.1    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 127.92 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

why not? Just temporarely off? thanks for bring it back...

In many cases, I need to delete a lot of 2D tracked points befor solving the camera.Please make it easy to suspend solving - saves a lot of power and performance.

This happens often when openning older projects.It's easy to just click on the output, it will automatically go to the closest directory that exists and you can basically set a new output directory.But if I have 20, 30, 40+ renders from that single project, I'd prefer to just recreate the output folder structure that the render jobs expect.And here lies the problem.Is there any way to check what was the original output path?- the output to field displays only the file name, or last folder if render to seperate folder was checked- there are no tool tips on the path or output UI elements- it doesn't get reported in the error log because the render process doesn't even start if you have a job with missing directory in the job que- also F you for saying that I have a job with an output directory that does not exist, but you don't say which job it is - the entire project won't render because one of 50 render jobs has an invalid output directory So first: can we please get a tool tip on

When the first Beta was released I was able to import scanned rooms/floor pans - the new update seems to have changed how object backfaces are dispayed and the room can no longer be viewed from the 'outside' - is there a workaround?

I have a single file sequence in .exr that I am bringing into AE (both regular release and beta). I am using the ACES color space.  The Beta Vectorscope shows the colors accurately and match Premiere's scopes. But the scopes in the regular AE 2023 release are way out of whack. Every setting is identical in each program. Shots are attached. Could this because because of the new OCIO implementation in AE Beta? If so, I wish they'd fix the scopes in the regular releaase to read properly.    

For the longest time now, scrolling through a lengthy list of color spaces has annoyed me from Color Profile Converter to the new OCIO Color Space Transform effect. Now that we have this brand new OCIO effect, let's do it right and finally add a scroll bar! And while we're at it, let's get it added to Color Profile Converter, too. Notice there's no scroll bar to the right. Instead, you have to hover at the bottom or top of the list to slowly scroll up or down. Ever pick the wrong items and need to swap the input and output? Well, hope you enjoy scrolling some more. However, the scrollbar appears when interpreting the image. I know these are two different UIs, but they display the same content. One is easy to quickly scroll through while the other is really annoying. Let's come up with a solution. And while we're on this topic, let's also add a Swap button to flip the input and outputs around for both OCIO Color Space Transform and Color Profile Converter.

Is it possible to import a light probe or environment for a .glb file. I think that this would be an essential feature. The ability to import a light probe or enviromental sphereical or cube map that the model could respond to would be great. If it isn't already implemented - please consider this. An example of what I'm talking about can be seen here: https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/1) drag in a .glb2) Toggle the lighting switch3) Change the environment to Venice SunsetMy request is to be able to import my own environment.

We heard you.   The great thing about having a Beta community is getting to test out new ideas and see if they work as expected. When we updated the Exposure control UI to be consistent with other newer controls in our composition toolbar, we ran user tests and read the feedback. In this case, the benefit of consistency is not proving useful compared to the extra clicks it required. And so, as of today's Beta (build 22.3.0 x35), we are reverting the Exposure control to its original layout.Thank you so much for your continued feedback, it really does matter.    

Just installed the new AE Beta and this blog shows a new Color management area in the project settings/Color tab. It doesnt show on the Beta I installed. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/opencolorio-aces-color-management.html  

Bonjour, est-il possible d'ouvrir un fichier after qui a été crée par la version beta de after effect ? 

Welcome to the After Effects (Beta) community forum. Our public Beta is an opportunity for you to engage directly with product teams in the development of After Effects. There’s no obligation: you can install one build one time, auto-update for a regular cadence of Beta builds, or never install Beta – whatever works for you. If you are using Beta builds and want to provide feedback about features and fixes directly with the product development team, you can do so through this community forum. We invite you to become a part of the process to ensure we’re building the best tools possible and focusing on the details that matter most for your work.

レイヤーシェイプのネットワークがたくさん開いて数値を変えることから解放されるのがうれしいです！クリックがなくて本当につらかった。 プロパティパネル機能すごくいいです！ただ例えば三角形などの[サイズ]と[角丸の半径]の間にある[位置]や線の中にある[線端][線の結合]などはプロパティパネルにないのですが全部入れるとパネルの項目がいっぱいになってしまうからでしょうか？タイムラインの項目（列）のようにユーザーが任意で表示できる項目を選べるようになったら完璧だと思いますが。よろしくお願いします。

DescriptionIt seems that it is possible to import 3D assets via scripting, but users encounter an options dialog upon import before the asset is ready in the project.  Can we get scripting support for that particular import options dialog?   We want users to be able to either accept the defaults of the dialog, or have scripting access to those settings, possibly in AE's Import object.  In essence, the objective is to be able to import 3D file types "silently" without user interaction via scripting. Why is this valuable?Some of Templater users want to automatically re-version their composition with various 3D object source files.  These users can accomplish this with Element3D because .obj files are imported without any dialog.  Current scripting access allows us to change the source of those Element3D .obj layers because there is no import dialog that users encounter upon adding an .obj data file to the project.  For the new, native 3D suppo

I updated the beta just now and when I reopened my previous project all the ProRes 444 footage in the project was now causing AE to freak out, tearing and artifacting on the screen. Completely unusable.System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.0.0.11    OS: macOS v12.5.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10 

this Beta version has the new trackmatte feature which is great btw, but I can't use 3D layers as track mattes.In the old version, there was no problem with that.   

Whenever I open AE, or opene a project, I get the error:Unable to execute script at line 5. system is undefined.I click OK to dismiss it, and AE seems to behave perfectly. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v23.1.0.7    OS: Windows v10.0.19044, RAM: 127.92 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

The new beta version have a bug, any kind of .mov video doesn't have any sound at all. Tried multiple files, same. Re-rendered the video to .mp4 format in Premiere, after that the video has sound again.This only accurs in After effects beta version, seems fine in stable version.

We are very happy to bring a new feature to the Beta. As of today’s build (22.5.0 Build 18) you can now color your keyframes with one of AE's label colors. This has been a huge customer request, and we know users that saw the sneak-peek at MAX have been anxious to get their hands on it.   Right-click on any keyframe(s), select ‘Label’, and choose the color you want assigned. You will also notice an option to ‘Select Label Group’, where you can use that color label as the basis for a selection. We have a few more features coming very soon, including scripting hooks and additional selection options. So stay tuned…   The new color labels led us to realize we needed a better keyframe selection UI. We wanted to allow you to see the label colors even while selected, and to make sure the selection didn’t disappear if that label was blue. This release includes the new selection UI that we would like you to experiment with. To show the difference, in the example images below I want to

L'utilisation des touches de raccourcis 4,5 et 6, comme spécifié dans les préférences 3D ne fonctionne pas avec un clavier AZERTY. Je trouve le widget Universal pas si pratique et j'utiliserai plutôt les widgets Position, Echelle, Rotation. Pourquoi ne pas remprendre les raccourcis P S R, qui afficheraient à la fois la propriété correspondante dans le panneau montage et le widget dans le visualiseur de la composition. Les raccourcis 1, 2 et 3 ne fonctionnent pas non plus pour la navigation entre les outils caméra mais ce n'est pas gênant puisque l'on à les 3 boutons de souris avec Alt enfoncé ou appuyer plusieurs fois sur C.

Good evening all! As of today, we have expanded the functionality of the Shift+J and Shift+K keyboard shortcuts of After Effects 23.0 Beta (build 38).   You can now use Shift+J and Shift + K to navigate between keyframes or layer markers on a selected layer, ignoring keyframes and layer markers on unselected layers above and below.       You can also use Shift+J and Shift+K to navigate between keyframes on selected properties of a selected layer -- thus ignoring keyframes and layer markers on all unselected properties on your selected layer as well as those on unselected layers.     In the below example, we demonstrate both selection types in action. First, the user navigates between keyframes on the "Hair Bounce" layer. Then, the user selects the "Torso" layer and navigates between that layer's keyframes before selecting the "Angle" property of the "Torso" layer and navigating amongst only the keyframes on that property.     Our goal is to he

In After Effects beta (on Mac M1, at least), programmatically opening a ModalDialog extension from a "sibling" extension (both under the same ExtensionBundle CSXS/Manifest) now breaks the Extendscript scope. assuming my jsx file has this line:var hello = "world"; then on After Effects up until version 22.6 I could do in Javascript -var test1 = await evalScript("hello"); console.log("test1:" + test1); await openModalPanel(); var test2 = await evalScript("hello"); console.log("test2:" + test2);I would get:test1: worldtest2: worldwhere of course evalScript and openModalPanel are my custom async functions (code not shown) that evaluate JSX (using CSInterface.evalScript) and open a bundled ModalDialog extension and wait for it to open before resolving (by the use of CSInterface.requestOpenExtension and messaging to determin that it had opened). Same exact code as above on After Effects beta gives:test1: worldtest2: EvalScript

Hello, I have AE comps imported to PR (2020, not beta) timeline and everytime I update and save any comp in AE, all the comps in the PR timeline will turn offline. My temporary solution is to relink the media.  Does anyone know hwo to fix this? Thanks.
