Solved

Hello everyone I'm new to After Effects and I try to animate a path or vector, which should be animated like it is drawn. I followed this tutorial and was able to create that animation with the pen tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYWGWATVWVI)So when it is a straight line I can use the pen tool and let ae draw the line with the trim function. But now I want to outline a more complexe shape which I draw free hand with my graphic tablet. I tried to import a Illustrator file, but I wasn't able to add the trim function to it.  1. Can I draw free hand with the pen tool?2. How can I animate a line which I draw free hand with the brush tool? (The animation should also be like it is drawn.) 3. Other options? thx for any help.

I am using lightroom on Intel Mac with MacOS Sequoia, camera is Canon 650D. Camera is able to connect via eos utlity and show live view.   Any help will be appreciated.   Thanks, TM

Recently my after effects has been automatically creating new compositions every time I import footage into a project. This becomes very annoying as I'm always importing lots of footage and always manually deleting the new comps after effects is making for each piece of footage. I've looked through the preferences, but there doesn't seem to be an option that controls this. This wasn't happening when I first starting using this version so I think I must've changed some setting but dont know how to change it back. Any idea how I can stop after effects from automatically creating new comp when I import footage?[Moved from After Effects Resources to the much more active After Effects support forum - moderator]

I have the Adobe Pro Business license and this comes up for me  

I've been experiencing issues with the Adobe E-Signature process since last week. Although my signees recievd and signed the documents (and provided screenshots to that effect), my agreements do not update and neither do I receive notifications from the process.

I can't seem to select the "Open PDF's from last session on Acrobat launch" option (screenshot below). The option is always greyed out for me. Please advise on how to fix this as it seems rather archaic to have to open all of the PDFs I previously had open each time my computer or Adobe restarts.  I am running Windows 10 and have Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020. 

Objective------------Creating a new page which allows you to amend dates in a table on the display, which then creates a “change log” in a SQL database table.  How it should work--------------------------Page displays a variable list of rows, and a field to allow entry of a new date value on each row (as each row may have a different value, or indeed no changes).  Each time a value is entered, we want to create a new “change log” record for that change.                example layout :                key     current value    data entry field to allow new value                key     current value    data entry field to allow new value - optional 2nd row     

Dear community, i have been using and paying Adobe since 2009 and I would Love if one day i am contacted by Adobe and ask me what I think about their upcoming updates!! Why recently I can not use Hardware encoding when i choose VBR 2 pass in any codecs! That is totaly NOT LOGIC at all ? Why you changed it ? why it's not possible anymore. ? DO i have to go back to old version ? I have MacBook pro M1 Max Tahoe 26.0  Thank you. 

In my tenant, in the SharePoint folders, PDFs will not open.Vedi screenshot. 

When I open any password protected pdf files to Adobe Acrobat, it prompts for the password.If I click "Cancel" and try to open another PDF file, nothing happens.  Checking Task Manager, looks like the Acrobat process is stuck and not closing out after clicking Cancel.I would have to manually end the process to fix this issue to be able to open another PDF file.  The issue doesn't happen if I enter in the wrong password first to get an incorrect password notification window, and then click Cancel afterwards when it prompts for the password again, or if I enter in the correct password at first and then close out of it. I tried a couple different existing password protected files and creating a new password protected pdf file, but they're all causing the same issue.

Loving this! It helps get past the huge frustration of the selected layer view (which is really terrible IMO - a bit like looking through a microscope at a small part of a project and being smacked around the back of the head if you try and look at the bigger picture 😉 ) It really goes to show that everything makes more sense when you can see all the layers and how they interact, especially when you have animations timed differently.  One thing I would say - don't be afraid of showing ALL layers, not just those for the current scene. That would be even better and give a 100 mile-up overview. I think you definitely have the tendency of dumbing things down too much for the non-designer audience. Maybe have it as an option or another view option. Default to basic but give the designer users the option. If I want to see 367 layers, I'm fine with that! 😉 great work though team 🙂

I'm sure to have already asked this but I cannot find it anywhere, nor on search engines. In a music-related text, I need to show the octave of a note with a subscript digit. So, the middle-C on the piano would be C3 with 3 being subscripted. I am trying this GREP but it's not working:(?<=[A-G])\d This should be positive lookbehind for uppercase letters A to G, then applying the character style to the single digit following it.  Any idea why this may not be working? Thank you!

Hi everyone,I recently installed an Epson printer on my computer, and since then the colors in Adobe Illustrator have changed. When I open older EPS files, the colors look very different from how they originally were.I already uninstalled the printer, restarted my computer, and made sure the color profile settings are the same as before the installation — but the colors are still off.Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hallo, ich wollte ein Video mit transparentem Hintergrund (neue Funktion) erstellen. Konkret: Blumen die durch die Luft fliegen. Allerdings erhalte ich kein Video mit transprentem Hintergrund, sondern zwei Videos: 1) Video mit undefinierbar grauem Hintergrund (Name: foreground)2) Video mit schwarzem Hintergrund (Name: alpha), bei dem die Blumen nur wie weiße Schneeflocken gliegen Muss ich die beiden Videos kombinieren? Warum ist das Video nicht transperent, wie zB bei einem PNG? Danke für die Hilfe!Thomas

I hate the fact that I can't go back in my generations and copy my full prompts that created that certain generation. As it stands, I can only copy the one line that appears under the four generations and everything else is cut off. Fix it. Every other AI that I use has a feature to copy the prompt that created the generation. I'm usually rewriting promts as I go and if I can't go back to see what promt produced what, it's very limiting.

I noticed that on iPhone/iPad, when Lightroom is opened, True Tone does not automatically turn off. In an older thread, it seems like Lightroom used to do that? So this might be a regression (or it never did)? Apple has a plist key called UIWhitePointAdaptivityStyle that Adobe can set so the device will automatically turn off Night Shift/True Tone to achieve constant white point. For a professional photo editing tool, I think this is essential.  Would be great if such implementation could be considered (seems like a one line code change!) 🙂 

Hi all! I don't know what keys I'm hitting, but I get the emoje panel popping up constantly... and I never need to use it. I went in to shortcuts to try to delete whatever the shortcut is, but there's nothing I could find about emojis. So I'm guessing it's called something else. If you know what it is, I'd love to remove it. It's so annoying to have it pop up all the time. 

Auf meinem alten Rechner hatte ich CS5 installiert. Nach Kauf eines neuen Rechner habe ich CS5 erneut installiert. Allerdings hatte ich vergessen vorher auf dem alten Rechner CS5 zu deaktivieren. Dies ist nun geschehen. Nur bekomme ich bei der Aktivierung eine Meldung: wegen Zeitüberschreitung kann die Aktivierung nicht erfolgen. Besteht die Möglichkeit die Serien-Nr wieder freizuschalten?

I have 1min of footage, I want to create an expression that creates a loop that advances forward one frame with each iteration.I tried unsuccessfully time remapping with  LoopOutDuration(type = “offset”, duration = (4/24)).What I’m looking for is if “n” is the duration of the loop and “a” is the first frame of the loop, say n = 4 then what I need is:abcd bcde cdef  …. till the end of the footage.If I could get that to work I’d be very happy.If I could also get it to ping pong then I’d be extremely happy, e.g.:abcdcba bcdedcb cdefedcAny answers gratefully received.Chris-----I should have kept looking: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/23446#23446 f = timeToFrames(time); seg = Math.floor(f/5); phase = f%5; framesToTime(seg + ((phase == 4) ? 2 : phase))Currently fiddling with this.Does the travelling loop but not the pingpong.Praise be to Dan.

LrC 14.4 was released in June.   The update affects the operation of Photoshop.    Following the update and installation, and using the new embedded  Denoise , or , Super resolution feature, the screen flashed momentarily, and no perceived difference was noticed in RAW file.    When attempting to send the super resolution file to Photoshop for editing, Ps would start and the work space appears.  No file is transferred from Lightroom.  All menus do not open. Photoshop does not respond and closing Photoshop  is only possible via Task Manager.    The same procedure is then attempted with another RAW file in LrC but with no Super Resolution feature applied.   The file is transferred into Photoshop for editing as normal.  All functions in Photoshop respond as usual.   NOTE:   latest version of Photoshop is used, all graphics drivers are current, significant dedicated  SSD scratch disks are us

Hello, I did the Check For Updates today, on my W11 25H2 laptop, and got the update UI OK, but the DETAILS link got a 404 error.See the 2 graphics attached. The first shows a UI screen for updating to 25.001.20756. I always like to check what is being fixed, or know issues before updating, but the link gets a 404 error. I clicked to update anyway, and it actually installed version 25.001.20813 (possibly why there was bad link for the incorrectly shown 20756 version). Is there a link for the release notes anywhere, for this 20813 version please?   

I have a font issue that is only a problem when the file is printed to PDF. I have confirmed the fonts are correct in the InDesign file, however when the file is printed to PDF, the fonts do not display correctly. The font we are having an issue with is Helvetica Neue LT Com. The font issue is within some but not all .ai figures in a document. I have confirmed this is not a result of different PDF viewers. I have checked in multiple PDF viewers and the font appears incorrect in all PDF viewers.  Please let me know if you have any solutions or thoughts on what this issue could be.

I use layer colors in my layers menu to keep things organized. For some reason they are now switching to all black. I have even changed them back and they revert back to black. Any reconmondations?
