Top three troubleshooting topics from April:
1. For some users, the Selection tool shortcut (V) stopped working after the 18.1 update
This issue has been resolved in After Effects version 18.2.
2. Dynamic link between After Effects and Media Encoder is unreliable
Some users are unable to send their compositions to Media Encoder after updating to After Effects 18.0 and 18.1. Go through the steps given in this article and follow the next steps: How to fix dynamic link between After Effects and Media Encoder
3. Green frames in After Effects 18.0 and 18.1
Some of our users reported that H.264 (MP4) files imported in After Effects 18.0 and 18.1 have green frames. We're investigating the issue. Meanwhile, here is the workaround:
- Go to Preferences > Import
- Deselect "Enable hardware-accelerated decoding" under Video Footage
- Then go to Preferences > Media & Disk Cache
- Click "Empty Disk Cache" and "Clean Database & Cache"
- Relaunch After Effects and import the files again
