After Effects

Hello. I have project and there is used Cineware to render 3D coupons falling from the top.. Project was developed in AE2025 and there everything works like a charm..But when I open project in AE2026 (or 27beta), texture is deformed and tiled somehow.. It looks like something invert normals, but in 2D.I need to keep project in 2025 what is not optimal way to work when all other projects are already shifted to 2026.Sample screens atached. Windows 11, latest drivers, latest adobe versions..I can provide reduced project if it helpsAE 2025AE 2026 and 2027 

I have project made in AE26.3 where I am using varible OpenSans font to achieve decided effects. After I updated to AE26.5 it is not working and OpenSans variable is not installed / seen by AE. Other variable fonts are, but not OpenSans. Only fixed weight variant is available.It also show missing OpenSans Roman variable - I do not know why roman, but I believe that should be the problem - wrong indentification. But until it will be fixed I have to use older version, sadly.. 

Dear Adobe Team,I'm writing to report an ongoing issue that's frustrating many motion designers, including myself.I originally reported a similar problem back in 2023 (), and unfortunately, it was never fully resolved. I managed to work around it by juggling older versions, installing and uninstalling as needed, but it's unbelievable that we face these kinds of problems with such an expensive Creative Cloud subscription. The situation has become much worse with the latest 2025 and 2026 updates.I regularly work on large projects with 500+ assets (PNG, JPG, SWF, audio, video files, etc.). I collect files properly, start working, and everything seems fine at first. But the next day, or after a few days, when I reopen the project, many MP4 and SWF files appear as "missing," show compatibility errors, or fail to display correctly. This isn't a one-time or occasional glitch; it's now my standard workflow. I've wasted countless hours reinstalling software, restarting, and even re-rendering fi

Due to a workflow in place, my motion team and I create MOGRT's and provide them to our editing team for subbing. It’s usually a simple glow on text etc. This is good for temporary approval, but afterwards my motion team need to recreate these subs in AE for collect purposes. This is quite a time consuming process of scrubbing through the subtitles made on the edits, and recreating the style as words animate on for example, on our end. Is there any workaround anyone might know, to perhaps bring in MOGRT's from a premiere sequence, after they've been used in an edit as subs, back into After Effects. Equally a potential way to improve the situation would be to at least see some sort of marker or keyframe when importing back into After Effects, after the MOGRT’s been used by our edit team - So my Motion team can hop directly to each keyframe/marker, instead of scrubbing through.It’s a tricky topic as research on my end seems to not be very specific about bringing MOGRT’s that have been su

A quick question, but I’m looking to redo this animation as I don’t have the original file for it, is it possible to do this in After Effects or is it a Cinema 4D job? Obviously a simple loop would be easy to do with trim ends on a path, but notably on this animation the outer loop passes under the inner one at one point and looks like it’s slightly see through as it passes over another-  so would be a bit of a job but is After Effects capable of building it? TIA :)

IssueWhen Magnification Behavior is set to Centered, zooming unexpectedly follows the mouse cursor when the first or last vertex of an open Shape Path is selected with the Pen Tool.This does not occur when using the Selection Tool.Steps to reproduce Go to Preferences > Previews > Magnification and set Behavior to Centered. Create a new project and composition. Create a Shape Layer. Using the Pen Tool, draw an open path with three or more vertices. Keep the Pen Tool active. Select the first or last vertex of the open path, or leave the last vertex selected after drawing the path. Move the mouse cursor away from the selected vertex. Zoom in or out using the mouse wheel or the . / , keys. Expected resultThe Composition viewer should zoom around the center of the panel, according to the Centered magnification preference.Actual resultThe view moves rapidly toward the current mouse cursor position while zooming, as if cursor-centered zoom were being used.The issue: occurs

Hello! I am looking for some help. I am currently editing a video in which I am using around 200 photos. I make compositions for pairs of photos and then edit them in their separate compositions. I am planning to then use these compositions into a bigger one to fit them all together. However, I am running out of space. Even after clearing my disc cache, I only have 13GB of storage. I am not even a quarter way through the photos. Is there a way to do this without taking up so much space? I was considering rather transferring the file onto a USB but the After Effects file is only a few hundred kb. Otherwise, does the numerous compositions make it take so much space? Any advice is helpful! Thank you!

I’m learning Adobe After Effects and I’m interested in creating short gaming-style animations inspired by the fast-paced visuals of Geometry Dash. I’d like to experiment with glowing objects, transitions, motion effects, and beat-synced animations.While looking for Geometry Dash-related resources, I came across Geometry Dash APKs and it gave me some ideas for the type of gaming visuals I could recreate as an animation project.For someone just starting with After Effects, which effects and techniques would you recommend learning first for this kind of energetic gaming-style animation? Hyperlink removed by Mod.

The layers are getting duplicated and auto grouped while importing in after effects. and some times colour is not updating as well. I found a time being solution for this. but previous version does not have this bug.I found solution for this, in new version while editing in illustrator, while giving release layer to sequence. if there any layer that is inside the parent layer and if it has any artwork or path. it automatically duplicates inside after effects and colours are sometimes not updating. I fixed it by just removing the extra layer inside the parent layer and map the artwork path directly below the parent layer. now its working smoothly. But this should not happen in adobe. Basic things are getting harder and harder things are getting better. please fix this in update. thanks 😀

I’m running AE 2026.3 (Build 87) and I’m seeing AE use up all of my available RAM. The screen shot below is from my activity monitor right after I purged all cache with AE open. It looks exactly the same when I close AE. AE 2025 didn't seem to be doing this. Source footage is 2k, and it does this with just basic footage layouts with no complicated comps. After Purging, this repeats after a just a few minutes. The memory usage just climbs until is uses up everything. System: Win11 Pro, i9 9900X, 128Gb RAM, RTX A4500.  

simple 3D scene, 2 lights, background plane, text with extrusion and bevel. Preview is good, render with any Adobe engine is bad. Can see colour banding and random colour block artifacts in the output. Lighting is completely different on the render, illumination in a different spot entirely. Switching to C4D render looks as expected (sooooo slow)Won’t render cleanly with any of the adobe renderers. Render with Adobe advancedPreview and C4D version 

Hi, I'm having a problem with After Effects.When I open the program and click on my project, it simply closes. How can I fix this?

My coworker found these in the Program Files folder ( Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [Version]\Support Files ). We were hearing them and wondering where they’re used. I have found no mentions of them anywhere. Are they just an easter egg or something left by the devs?

Hola,Cuando intento abrir After Effects 23.3 en Windows 11, no se abre y al mismo tiempo crear dos iconos en el Escritorio, estos icono se llaman AfterFX_2026-08-23_205305.crashHe intentando ejecutar en modo Administrador, pero no funciona.Tampoco puedo actualizar After Effects a una versión reciente ya que mi laptop tiene 8gb de ram. (Tengo también Photoshop y este si funciona)¿Alguna solución?Gracias

How can I achieve the motion that is at the bottom of the HOW&HOW website?https://how.studio/I really like how it scrolls and tumbles 

IssueRendering a composition using the Advanced 3D Renderer causes memory usage to steadily increase throughout the export until After Effects reaches its memory limit and fails with the following error: "After Effects error: After Effects has unexpectedly run out of memory and cannot complete this export." The issue reproduces consistently on both macOS and Windows and appears to affect all versions of After Effects after 25.4. In addition to the render failure, After Effects does not appear to fully release memory after the error occurs, leaving the application in an unstable state until it is restarted. Steps to Reproduce1. Create a composition using the Advanced 3D Renderer.2. Add multiple 3D layers that are pre-compositions.3. Have those prec-ompositions contain additional nested pre-compositions.4. Configure the nested prec-ompositions so they reference different sections of a large master composition.5. Apply Geometry Options > Curvature to some or all of the 3D layers.6. Ren

I’m working on a small creative project in Adobe After Effects and I want to create a cute pink cat character with simple animations. I’m still learning After Effects and would like to know the easiest way to animate things like blinking eyes, moving ears, and a small bouncing motion.I’ve also been looking at different APK Kucing Pink designs for inspiration, especially for the pink cat character and overall visual style.Would you recommend creating the character directly in After Effects, or designing it in another app first and then importing it? Also, which After Effects tools or effects would be best for this type of simple character animation? Hyperlink removed by Mod.

Whenever I am masking and curve the mask by clicking, holding, then dragging, I can't make a straight line after that point. After the curved line, I click to make another point and it becomes curved automatically. How do I fix this?? I want it to be straight after. 

Hey everyone,I've been using After Effects for years without issues, but lately, whenever I add a 3D camera layer to a comp, the preview just freezes solid. I have a 3D button enabled on all the layers. I have two viewports open too – one with an active camera, another with a custom 3-view camera. It throws this annoying "using processor graphics" error even though I've got a beastly RTX 5080. Sometimes it shows this message and sometimes it doesn't—just stuck the preview. This wasn't happening before—everything was smooth. After Effects keeps telling me it's using your processor graphics after I disable it on the Device Manager—there is no effect to it. It still gets stuck and won't preview at all. Super frustrating for my motion graphics work!How to Reproduce (Easy to Test) Open any project or new comp. Layer > New > Camera (make it 3D). Hit spacebar or 0 to preview—instant freeze with the graphics warning. My Setup After Effects 2026 (fully updated) Windows 11 CPU: Ryz
