How can I make this option work all the time so I don't have to restart the program for every file? The settings have already been reset.

For whatever reason, whenever I launch After Effects now, the app freezes when scanning folders and immediately crashes. No error message shows up.I tried basically everything.Starting in safe mode, disabling third party plug-ins (didn't have any to begin with), resetting preferences.Uninstalling, re-installing, manually deleting all files relating to After Effects and then installing it again.It always crashes at the splash screen when it's scanning folders. The folder it crashes at changed every time.I went into Windows settings and gave high-performance to After Effects but that didn't work either.It was literally working fine less than 4 days ago and I finished a project on it. Now it does this and I'm truly stumped on how to fix it.

I am getting charged by Adobe $43.29 every month when my adobe account does not have any active plans. I need these payments to stop as they are not for my account. 

In right top corner of thumbnail their is a symbol of a music note. If you click on it the dialogue box title is RelatedSound. I want to get rid of it. There is no sould associated with these photos. I cannot figure out how to delete it. Any ideas?

I have to build a lot of bar charts (vertical bars). Sometimes the identifying text that goes over each bar is too long, so I have to rotate the text 90 degrees to fit in the bar. I then have to do this for ALL the bars, so that the text is all facing the same way. I would like to figure out a way to rotate all the text at once. When I try to do it, it stacks the text… which I don’t want it to do. This probably doesn’t make sense, so I’m attaching a screenshot. You can see the two red numbers on the left have been rotated manually (I do have a keyboard shortcut to do this, but I still have to do it to EACH number separately). The red numbers on the right haven’t been rotated yet. And of course I haven’t aligned them over the bars. That’s the next step. Anyway, if you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks! 

I have two text layers, these were made in different comps. Both have the exact same properties and font, yet one has a thicker weight compared to the other. I’ve copied one text layer over into another comp to compare the two. There are no effects, strokes, or text animators applied to the text layers. 

I want to cancel my subscription to adobe how i can do it 

How do i download a file from Adobe Express to edit on my PC with Adobe Illustrator?

How can I add shadows, glows, outlines, or other visual effects to an element (such as an icon, shape, or image) in Adobe Express?I can find effects for text, but I don't see similar options for other elements. Is there a way to apply these effects directly, or is there a workaround to achieve the same result?  

I created a form using Excel and Adobe Acrobat Pro. There are two form fields that, when the form is saved (whether it is signed or not), clear of any data. I am attaching the form. The fields that won’t keep responses in them are BIA Region and State. I have looked through the other fields and can’t find a difference between these two fields and other dropdown fields. The only difference I am wondering about is that these two fields have a lot of options in the dropdown, but it doesn’t seem like that should make them not work. This was flagged by a user, and I’m not sure what program they use to complete the form, but I had the same issue in my own Adobe Acrobat Pro, which is the program I created the form in.Based on other comments I’ve seen online, I looked at the Page Properties for any actions that might be causing this, but don’t see any. I’ve also seen some comments saying there may still be data in the fields even if they look blank, but I exported the data from multiple test v

The darker areas are usually the areas that need denoising the most.  It would be helpful to provide a slider for selecting and identifying this areas and be able to deniise just those areas.  Suggestions for improvement if this is possible.

After editing a 16 minute sequence on the timeline, I saved and closed the project. All source material is saved to an external hard drive. When I opened the project the next morning to begin narrating, the project bin showed all my source materials - clips and stills - but no sequence on the timeline. I've looked through all recently used bins and sub-folders, and every folder on the external hard drive for the sequence, as well as an autosave, to no avail. I loaded all previous sequences for this project, in case it was somehow linked to them, but no luck there either.  I reset the panels to default, and reset the software preferences, per other suggestions for this issue from previous posts. I've done a text search for the title, and it brings up the project (projectname.prproj) as I sacved it on my external HD, but clicking on that file brings up the 26 items in the project bin with no sequences.  Is there anything else I can try to locate that sequence?

I want refund

These are different from the LUTs you see in the dropdown list in Lumetri color. I know where to find these. (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Technical) The LUTs I add to the Modify/Color panel do not appear in this folder, nor do I see them in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Lumetri I tried searching the  C:\Program Files\Adobe folder for *.cube files, and don't find my Input LUTs in there either. These persist from project to project, version to version, and there are old LUTs I don't need anymore on this list. Over time this list is getting bulkier, full of unnecessary LUTs, harder to work with.  The reason I don't just use Lumetri is that the Input LUTs panel seems to be more accurate when working with HDR footage. I've had some weird color issues in highlights when I apply them in Lumetri. Depends on the LUT though.

I have a script to analyze hundreds of documents to validate their layer names and then log the results to a .csv file. I had code to suppress alerts (especially missing font alerts), and that worked, except it also unexpectedly suppressed updates to the progress bar, which adds frustration and uncertainty to the UX.Is there any way to both suppress the alerts and get progress bar updates?Here is the code to suppress the alerts:var oldInteraction = app.userInteractionLevel;if (suppressIllustratorAlerts){ app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;}Here is the code the displays the progress bar:function updateProgress(win, statusText, countText, progressBar, fileName, current, total){ statusText.text = "Processing: " + fileName; countText.text = current + " of " + total; progressBar.value = current; win.layout.layout(true); win.update(); // Small pause gives Illustrator a chance to repaint the palette.

Witam,W dniu wczorajszym zostały pobrane pieniądze za subskrybcję. Niestety za późno ją anulowałam. Chciałam odzyskać pieniądze. Aplikacja nie spełnia moich oczekiwań i niestety za pozno zostala anulowana. Dział Samsung kazał mi napisać do was o zwrot pieniędzy. Niestety nie mogłam zablokować transakcji, pobrania pieniędzy z konta. Subskrybcję juz anulowałam ale niestety środki zostały pobrane. Chciałbym je odzyskać. Proszę o odpowiedź z waszej strony czy jest to możliwe. Pozdrawiam

My documentary film takes over 2 HOURS to load. It’s a RELINKING problem. I contacted adobe engineers last year in the summer. Even got on a video call with them to show the issue. Spent literally hours on this. They acknowledged the bug and said they are working on it.I finished that project months ago and gave up on this situation and transitioned to Davinci Resolve for my new projects due to my extreme frustration with Adobe.But now the client has come back and I need to make a lot of changes, and it’s just unbelievable that everytime I open the project, I have to wait 2 hours before I can do anything.Rach McIntire was my main point of contact and she no longer is at Adobe!The Adobe phone support is so horrible that I want to blew my own brains out. It’s like they deliberately want to annoy you on the phone.How can I get in touch with someone at Rach’s level or her replacement at Adobe?

The image on the left has 2 panels of gradient with a multiply effect in InDesign the image on the right is how it exports to PDF.I’ve had this issue constantly for weeks, along with other issues that Adobe just won’t fix it’s getting to be a nightmare to use this crappy software.I’ve tried every different PDF export option and compatibility setting there is it doesn’t help. With the exception that sometimes but not always, interactive PDF rarely fixes the issue.I’ve changed the colour profiles too but doesn’t help.It’s to the point where I can’t work using CC so will need to change my whole company over to Affinity if they don’t start fixing some of these bugs.I’m still having this issue here that Adobe can’t fix, not sure it they are related.  

I have Acrobat with Creative cloud pro, Windows 10, and for weeks it's not been opening properly.I read other solutions and tried uninstalling and installing from new, disabling cloud and security options, but the only thing that seems to work is going to the Task manager and deleteing Acrobat instances that pile up.This is not a solution, it’s a bad workaround. Please help me with this problem. I hate having to change my preferences every time I install, especially getting rid of the “new” Acrobat interface.

Hi,I subscribed to the Adobe Stock – 10 assets a month + AI Studio plan, which included a free trial starting on July 22.The first payment was charged on July 30. I cancelled the subscription on the same day, and I was informed that I would receive a full refund. I also received an email confirming that the service would end that same day, July 30.However, it is now August 14, and I still have not received the refund.This is becoming very frustrating because I have been trying to contact Adobe directly, but I cannot find a proper email address or live chat option. Every time I try to get help, I am redirected to the FAQs or the community forum.Could someone please explain how I can check the status of my refund or contact Adobe Support directly to resolve this?Thank you.

My snapshot tool looks like this and it doesnt stay selected. it only copies the area. how can i change it back to the original snapshot tool?

Already posted in the Acrobat forum but I think it belongs here.Machine is a Zenbook Duo (Windows 11). When exporting a relatively small (five page) document to PDF, InDesign hangs and never recovers.Workaround is to tick the “Create separate PDF files” checkbox and combine the pages afterwards.Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? I’ve used InDesign for years and have never before seen this behavior.

HELP WITH REINSTALLING OLD PHOTOSHOP VERSION 26.2 (2024) After updating Photoshop software to 26.3 (2025) from Photoshop (2024) (old version deleted in the process) it came up with the following message when opening Photoshop: "macOS 14.6.1 or later is recommended for maximum performance and correct operation of Adobe Photoshop 2025. An earlier version of macOS was detected." As I'm not able to update to macOS 14.6.1 (see operating info below), I decided to uninstall Photoshop 26.3 (2025) and reinstall the older version Photoshop 26.2 (2024) so I would have no issues using Photoshop. The app shows that I have installed the 2024 version and that an update is available, showing it correctly, HOWEVER when I open Photoshop, it's actually the new version 2025!I have uninstalled and reinstalled (via 'other versions' on the app in Creative Cloud), restarted the computer several times without any success to get the old software back. Question:Is there another way to go

Hi everyone, I have a question about Adobe Illustrator’s Generative features.I created a vector artwork manually by myself, I drew all the shapes and chose all the colors myself. I did not intentionally use Generative AI or click the Generate button.However, I noticed that the Generative/Generate Vectors icon appeared blue in Illustrator, and at one point I clicked the Generative icon/menu just to see the options.Does the blue icon indicate that Generative AI was used on my artwork? Or does it simply indicate that the Generative feature/tool is available or selected?I want to make sure that my artwork is still considered manually created and that I did not accidentally generate anything with AI.Thank you!This is before i click itAnd this is afterThis is when im clicking it 

support told me to post a question to the forum. How do I do that?
