After Effects

Issue - When working in a composition larger than 10,000px horizontal, guides can no longer be placed at positions further than 10,000 pixels when using the “Edit Guide...” dialog. The dialog accepts values larger than 10,000 in the text box, but will always snap back to 10,000 after clicking “ok”.Steps to Reproduce:Create a comp with a horizontal resolution larger than 10,000 pixels (for example, 11,000) This step doesn’t seem to be 100% necessary, the issue occurs when placing a guide further than 10,000px even with a comp size smaller than 10,000px wide. Turn on rulers and drag a vertical guide out from the ruler. Right click the guide and click “Edit Guide...” to open the dialog box. Edit the “position” value to be a number larger than 10,000 pixels. Click “OK” Observe the guide snapping to the 10,000px position, right click the guide again to see that it is at 10,000px instead of the position entered.Expected Result - Guide should be placed at the position value entered in the “E

After Effects 2026 (26.5) freezes when using the Numbers effect — HP Victus / Windows 11Environment Computer: HP Victus laptop OS: Windows 11 After Effects: 2026, version 26.5x89 Graphics: NVIDIA and AMD GPUs Problem descriptionAfter Effects intermittently becomes completely unresponsive when opening a project containing the built-in Numbers effect.The project sometimes opens successfully but freezes shortly afterward. Windows reports "Not Responding", requiring AfterFX.exe to be terminated through Task Manager.The issue also occurs in a newly created project when applying the Numbers effect to a text layer.The affected project worked normally on the same HP Victus laptop through May 1, 2026. I used it extensively for text animation and video production at that time.The exact date when the problem first appeared is unknown.Steps to reproduce Launch After Effects 2026. Create a new project and composition. Create a text layer. Apply the built-in Numbers effect. After Effec

The Object Matte tool initially worked correctly in this project and I was able to identify and isolate several cars in the footage very accurately. After working for a while, however, it suddenly stopped functioning properly.Now, when I hover over a car, After Effects still appears to recognise the object and highlights it correctly. But when I click to confirm the selection, one of two things happens: The entire frame/layer becomes outlined in purple, as if Object Matte has selected the whole image instead of the car. Nothing happens at all and no object matte is created. The same problem can also occur when using the brush selection.I have already tried restarting After Effects, reopening the project, clearing memory and disk cache, reopening the footage in the Layer panel, switching tools, resetting preferences and trying again from frames where the tool had previously worked. None of this has resolved the issue.This is particularly frustrating because the exact same footage and

I have found a reproducible After Effects file-import problem when using an SMB network volume on the macOS Golden Gate beta.When I try to import a PNG file from a network path containing Icelandic characters, After Effects displays:After Effects error: File exists but couldn't be open for reading (3 :: 0)  Example failing path:/Volumes/markadsdeild/Markadsdeild/Sjónvarp/06 On-Air grafík/01 SÝN/Vatnsmerki/01 Renders/01 Taka 2/01 Hvítt/Syn-vatnsmerki-hvitt_00025.png The file is visible in Finder and can be copied to my local Desktop. After copying it locally, After Effects imports it successfully.I also tested the same file on the same network volume using an ASCII-only folder and filename:/Volumes/markadsdeild/AE_test/test_00025.png  That version imports successfully into After Effects.This suggests that After Effects may be encountering a path or Unicode-normalization problem when accessing files through an SMB volume. The problem appears to involve Icelandic characters such as í, ó, 

The kerning of a font with an animated variable is determined by the currently selected instance in the drop-down menu not the instance of the animated variable. I am a font designer trying to animate variable font changes in After Effects. When you add an animator for a variable font axis, the kerning data for that font does not change with the animator. Say for example, if you have an upright style selected from the style drop-down, if you, with the animated variable change the value to slanted, the program will still use the kerning values from the upright instance.

Create a new project. Create a new composition. Add a new layer of any kind. Add a few keyframes to some value. Select the keyframes and open the graph editor. Press tilde (`) to maximize the graph editor panel inside After Effects. Use the middle mouse button to pan/scroll inside the graph editor. The graph editor panel erroneously returns to its original size.If no layers are selected, the problem does not occur. It also doesn’t happen when holding spacebar to pan/scroll.

Since AE 2026, the crosshair button on effect Point parameters is broken. If I click the crosshair and then click anywhere outside the bounding box of the layer the effect is on, AE doesn't set the point. Instead it selects whatever layer is under the cursor (or above it), and usually throws "internal verification failure, sorry! {invalid index in indexed group}". Sometimes on the first click, otherwise within a few tries.Clicking inside the layer's bounding box works fine. In AE 2025 the same thing works anywhere in the comp.It happens with the built-in Point Control and with my own native plugin, so it isn't specific to one effect.Steps to reproduce:1. New project, import any footage and create a comp from it or add a full-frame solid.2. Add a small text or shape layer on top.3. Apply Effect > Expression Controls > Point Control to the text/shape layer.4. Click the crosshair next to the Point value.5. Click in the comp somewhere outside the text/shape layer's bounding box.6.

Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+C and Cmd+V) do not work in the Save As dialog in Adobe After Effects on macOS when using a Ukrainian keyboard layout.Steps to reproduce:Open Adobe After Effects. Open the Save As dialog. Copy a filename or text using Cmd+C (Ukrainian layout active). Click the filename input field in the Save As dialog. Press Cmd+V to paste the copied text.Expected result:The copied text should be pasted into the filename field.Actual result:The keyboard shortcut does not work and macOS plays a system error sound. However, Paste works correctly when selected from the right-click context menu and with english layout.Additional information:Cmd+C and Cmd+V work correctly in Finder, TextEdit, and other After Effects text input fields. The issue persists with both the standard Ukrainian keyboard layout and the Ukrainian – Mac PC custom layout. The issue appears to be isolated to the Save As dialog.

Hello,The last version of after effects (23.4.0) doesn't update changes to my original Illustrator file. I've imported it as Composition - Retain Layers Sizes, using ctrl+e (edit original) as usual. In Illustrator I tried making a color change and changing a shape, then saved and closed it. When returned to After Effects, the changes have not been updated. I purged, reloaded footage, and even closed after effects and opened it again. Nothing worked. I opened the original file again with ctrl+e and the change I made was undone. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on Windows 11, using the latest version of Illustrator (27.5). Haven't tried this with Photoshop files yet.
