3d not working

[Emily288529628ojv]

im confused. i thought the new after effects lets you import 3d models, but it wont let me??? I've tried using different formats like glb & fbx but it just wont let me put it in.

3D model import is only available in the public beta of AE: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/welcome-to-3d-model-import-in-after-ef...

This will be a huge toolset that's currently missing a lot of features, so it will remain in beta as they're being developed.

How do I install the public beta? I don't have it as an option on the creative cloud app. 

[David Arbor · Accepted solution]

You can install the public betas from the left side ("Beta Apps" category) of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (see attached screenshot). These can be installed alongside the public versions without causing any issues since they get their own sets of preferences. For the most part you can even go back and forth with your project from public release to beta, so if you want, you can work on your project in AE 2023 and then render in AE Beta.
