After Effects

when I try to launch After Effects I get an error saying it can't continue due the the Common Extensibility Platform not loading. Ive looked up and tried all possible solutions and still hasn't worked. Everything from reinstalling to granting Read/Write permissions and still does not launch.

I open AE, drop a video file and a still picture into Project, drag the video to the Layer window, and it crashes. This keeps happening.

I'm trying to use Frame.io in the panel in AE, but end up going around in circles. When I click to log in with my adobe ID, it seem like I can log in, but then I get a message saying something about "unsupported account" and there's a button to click to go to a "v4 comments panel." I click that button and nothing happens. WTF? It does seem that I'm logged in though, I can click to see my account info and can start to create a new project, but when I try to confirm the new project, the dialog box just doesn't close and no project is created. Am I doing something wrong, or is this frame.io panel just broken?

Current Spec: 64GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, set my disk cache at 115GB on 3400MB/s read speed, about 5000MB/s write speed, set ram reserved for other app to 6GB, paid application, enable multiframe renderingSomething likes this took me like 1 min to play back, its literally just basic 3d rotation and positioning keyframe, no crazy plugin or effectTried switching the codec for the video on another comp but it doesnt help muchI can add some other settings/info if needed

I have the TranSMaxX Nostalgic Polaroid Photo Slideshow with Cinematic Flares template from Videohive. There is lorem ipsum background text that I cannot find or delete. Has anyone used this template and knows where that layer is hidden?"  I’m a long time AE user and I’ve never had such a hard time finding a layer!  Thanks! 

I want to be able to put an image on the stage and right when I do it I would want it to fit to my stage automatically without me having to touch it. if anyone would be able to answer it that would be awesome.

Is it possible to make all keyframes default color of my choice?  

Issue : “Fill” effect and other miscellaneous pre-installed effects are entirely missing from the Effects Panel and “Manage Effects” windowAE version : 26.2OS : MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1What I did to try and fix the issue : reset Preferences uninstalled and reinstalled AE opened the “Manage Effects” window and activated all effects uninstalled and reinstalled in an older version (25.6.5)The last step allowed me to see “Fill” again in the list

Please help me how to link Blender 3D animation project into After Effects for compositing and element addition (like Autodesk Maya LiveLink for After Effects)

Excuse moi… What the hell is that?! It’s the first time in 15 years in After Effects I’ve had this: Absolutely nothing special here. A fresh project with one video precomped, tracked, camera and text added. That is all. I cannot use Advanced 3D today because it messes up my font. Tried resetting AE preferences with Ctrl+Shift+Alt on load.  Tried resetting font preferences, choose other fonts. Tried changing Advanced 3D preferences.AE 26.0.0, 14700K, 4080, 64 Gb of ram

What is the reason calling it Pan Behind Tool?  

After updating to After Effects 26.2, I noticed that some third-party plug-ins are showing garbled text in their UI controls.In my case, I can clearly reproduce this with plug-ins that include Chinese text, and I suspect it may also affect other non-English or non-Latin languages as well.What made me pay attention to this is the 26.2 release note saying:“Effect names are now correctly encoded for Unicode characters when accessed by third-party plug-ins.”So I’m wondering if this may be related.One detail that seems important: if I open project files that already use these third-party effects in Safe Mode (without loading third-party plug-ins), the Chinese parameter names display correctly. But in normal mode, some of those same labels appear garbled.I’m not the plug-in developer, just an end user reporting what I observed in testing, so I can’t tell whether this is an AE issue, a plug-in compatibility issue, or an interaction between both. But the behavior seems to have changed after up

After Effects version 26.0 freezes when I use the 3D camera with two views. After Effects version 26.0 freezes when I use the 3D camera with two views.Since version 24, After Effects has had this problem of freezing the view on two screens when using the 3D camera. At first, I thought it was due to my PC's configuration, but I recently upgraded it and the problem persists. I've reset the After Effects settings several times and it's still the same. Now, something strange is that if I work with only one view, After Effects doesn't freeze, so I only work with that single view currently. Screenshot of the frozen screen:PC specifications:Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26200CPU: Intel Core i7-10700F 2.90GHzRAM: 32 GB DDR4Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070SSD: 1.8 TB

In After Effects 25.3 on macOS, using mouse scroll or Option + mouse scroll no longer zooms in the composition panel. Instead, it pans the view, regardless of modifier key. This function worked fine in version 25.2. Tested on multiple Macs with clean installs and no tablet drivers.Please restore the ability to zoom with scroll in a future update.

If you want to change the position of the anchor point you have to use the anchor pt tool [Y]. But changing the [X, Y] coordinates of the anchor pt in the timeline will not change the position of the anchor point in the graphic area. So that what is purpose of anchor pt coordinates in the timeline ? Video also attached.  

The Perspective Offset checkbox in Turbulent Noise does not currently work. No parallax. It does wok as it should in Fractal Noise.

Hi Adobe Community,I’m experiencing an issue with Adobe Media Encoder where Hardware Encoding is not available, even though I have an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti installed.When I try to switch to Hardware Encoding in the H.264 export settings, I receive this error message:“Your system's hardware does not support hardware acceleration for the current settings.”

Hi team — Starting a project per usual. Fine for the first hour or so. At a certain point the composition window freezes. Playing and scrubbing does nothing. I then quit, which freezes the app, making me Force Quit. This has been an issue in all versions of 26. Currently still causing issues on 26.2. I have 25.6.5 which continues to work well. Have cleared caches, checked disk settings, reset preferences. Any others experiencing this issue? This version isn’t usable. **Apple M2 Max96 GBMac OS Tahoe Version 26.3.1 (a) (25D771280a)

Intermittently, pressing the playback shortcut (Spacebar or Numpad Enter) fails to initiate a preview. On the first press, the UI appears to "stutter" but nothing happens. On the second press, the Current Time Indicator (CTI) moves back exactly one frame and playback still does not begin

Hola.Tengo el AEjuice Pack manager y lo utilizo muy frecuentemente. Cada vez que visualizo los efectos, me toca arrastrar la ventana del pack hacia un lado para poder ver la pantalla del after effects. Me parece que debería tener un atajo de minimizar. Este atajo se lo debe poner AEjuice o After effects??
