After Effects 22.4 is now available for download from the Creative Cloud desktop application. This release is recommended for all users.
What's new?
There is a new preference to separate the Position property dimensions in the Timeline by default. When enabled, the Default Position Properties to Separated Dimensions preference (available in Preferences > General) automatically separates the Position property into X, Y, and Z when a layer is created.
What's fixed?
How to update After Effects to version 22.4?
Open the Creative Cloud desktop application and click the Updates tab on the top-left. Find After Effects in the list and click Update.
I don't see the update in my Creative Cloud desktop application. What should I do?
Click Help > Check for Updates from the Creative Cloud desktop application to refresh it.

Hi. I hope AE can increase the infinite zoom in and out, and the mouse wheel can zoom in and out smoothly

I'm having issues with the 3D tracking.
After 3D camera tracking and adding a NULL, the controls are warped and trying to choose a selection of tracking points always has the red circle (selection) sideways. In this instance I only picked 1 tracking point.
I do this all the time, and this is the first time I'm having this kind of result and I just updated today.

Hi @JamieWoods,
Sorry to hear that the 3D camera tracker isn't working correctly for you.
If all the projects exhibit the same behavior, can you roll back to the previous version and let me know if that is working correctly?
Here is how you can reinstall the previous version: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-do-i-reinstall-a-previous-version-o...

I just updated and now my dropdown windows don't correctly. They open and then when I go to select they disappear. Also, the don't lock open so I can select. This is driving me crazy. Any one else have this problem?

I do have another issue with the audio. When I export audio out of Audition with the correct levels and put the audio track in After Effects, the audio level drops consideralblly in playback and the final render. By almost half, and that is with turning the level on the audio track all the way up in After Effects. I have noticed this problem ever since I upgraded to CC2022.
My computer is MacBook Pro 16" 2021, Apple M1 Max, 64 GB.

This happens to me ALL the time. Restarting AE seems to fix it every time, thankfully.

I am still having this issue, and restarting After Effects doesn't help. It is also inconsistant. I had two projects today that both had the propblem. So I adjusted the audio in Audition and re-exported it. I imported it in to AE and this time the audio was way to hot. The other project I adjusted the audio, re-exported, imported, and it was still to low. This is becoming very frustrating.

Hi again, @VideoRobb!
Can you share your project file (.aep) with us and the original audio files? We'll test it on our end.
Thanks,

I now can't get past the splash screen. How do I roll back?

What kind of computer do you have?
After Effects would freeze on the splash screen mostly due to third-party plugins. If you have any third-party plugins, remove them temporarily and see if it works.
If you want to roll back to the previous version, here are the instructions: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-do-i-reinstall-a-previous-version-o...

It sorted itself out a few days later. Not sure if there was a tweak at Adobe.

Hi again, @Kazek Lokuciewski.
There were no tweaks/updates from Adobe after the 22.4 release.

I have facing so many issues with this 22.4 version, that I uninstall it and install the 22.2.1 which the last steady one.
My problems (I am on WIN10, PC) :
- the first start popin when the app is opened is impossible to close, the click is deactivated, the soft is blocked, the only solution is to open After Fx via a project, then to go in the preference and to prevent this start popin to appear.
- It's impossible to close the app, when a project is loaded. Even with CTRL + ALT + SUPP, so I can try to force via the task manager, it doesn't work, I have to restart the computer.

Which OS are you on?
Do you have any third-party plugins for After Effects?

Hey @George Cox,
Sorry for your issue!
Can you share a copy of the crash log here? I'll send it to a developer for inspection.
Thanks,
