Feature Request: Linked Layer Trimming or Trim Point LinkingAllow the In Point or Out Point of one layer to be linked to the In Point or Out Point of another layer, so trimming one layer automatically adjusts the linked layer's corresponding point."Linked Trim Points" — the ability to link arbitrary layer trim points (In/Out) so that moving one trim point automatically moves another.

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

Hi,Just upgraded to 25.2.2 and I am having a strange issue with adding layers its like it randomly clips or switches color space from one frame to the next. Only started happening after upgrading AE and NVIDIA.The screenshots are from the same project just different frames, as you will see it also affects the scopes. Only effect used is 'Fast Box Blur'Switching to 'Software Only' fixes the issue

ISSUEWhen Layer > Scene Edit Detection is run with "Split Layer at Scene Edit" and "Create Pre-comps" enabled, and the project's Time Display Style > Footage Start Time is set to "00:00:00:00", the footage layer inside every pre-comp except the first one gets wrong In/Out points.The In point is placed at the very start of the layer instead of at the start of the detected shot. The Out point is placed at In + shot duration. The trimmed range therefore covers the wrong part of the source.The rendering engine ignores these in and out points. Sequence rendering continues beyond its out point !!!With Footage Start Time set to "Use Media Source", the same steps give correct results.STEPS TO REPRODUCE1. Project Settings > Time Display Style: select Timecode and set Footage Start Time to (00:00:00:000).2. Import a video that contains several hard cuts.3. Create a composition from the footage4. Select the footage layer and choose Layer > Scene Edit Detection.5. Enable "Split Layer a

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.

i brought 4k R3d footage into adobe after effects 2026. and it looked like the color profile was all wrong. so i Right clicked it, chose interpret footage, main, click the more options button at very bottom. Scroll all the way down to output transform section, changed color space to redWideGamutRGBm and change gamme curve to Log 3G10.and my after effects timeline is only 24 frames long. i applied colorista to the clip. then i applied keylight to the r3d footage and sample the green but the background doesnt disappear which means the image is frozen. and im looking at it with quarter resolution. then i hit save and tried to quit and its locked up and not quitting so i had to force quit and come back in. and now i can see the green screen is knocked out so i put a stock clip behind my green screen subject but then turned the layer off and even though its off its stil showing me this stock footage background which means the image isnt updating in AE. its like its locked up but its not. it
