After Effects

HiHow is this effect created? Trim Path for the animation itself, but zoom in on the years while still showing the entire graph? The graph appears about 56 sec into the video. How the Job Market Is Leaving New Graduates Behind - The New York TimesThanks

Hi, I have some footage of someone moving.  I have used the Object Matte Tool to isolate the person moving, then placed a solid colour layer underneath and selected the top layer as track matte. This has worked very well.  I now have a solid colour replacing the person on a transparent background.I would now like to play around with this, mirroring and adding echo etc.  Can I/should I make the solid layer independent of the tracking layer? Thank you.

So for context I was fixing some things in a somewhat recent project, I was met with the "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {no current context}". I tried everything that was recommended, clearing cache, resetting preferences, starting in safe mode, nothing worked, the timeline had nothing loading, only when hovered on. I decided to check other projects and all of them are having the same problem, the message doesn't show up but the timeline is non-existent, when I try to play the video there's no preview, audio plays for a while if there is any, but after that the program crashes and the only thing I can do is send a crash report.I did check if it could be a potential problem with my external drive, but projects inside my internal SSD with internal footage had the same problem. I recorded a small video of the timeline problem in real time.I use a 2024 M4 Macbook with 16GB of RAM

We recorded an object falling at 60fps that lands on the blue tape. It bounces slightly when it lands. I've rotoscoped the falling object out, but it occurred to me that it's not as easy as just swapping the background out with an image. The angle of the ground, shadows, etc. all factor into making something realistic. What's the best way to approach this? 

Your documentation suggests that users can configure their Cinema 4D installation path.https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/desktop/work-with-compositions/cinema-4d-compositions/cinema-4d-composition-renderer.htmlThey can’t. There is no Choose Installation button anymore. Users should be able to to configure their Cinema 4D app location in any of these ways:Environment Variable Javascript api preferences fileTo bring up the above dialog:Create a comp Go to Composition Settings 3D renderer > Cinema 4D Click on OptionsRelated Bug that needs attention: 

 (Note: English is not my native language and I am using a translation tool to write this post, so I apologize in advance for any awkward phrasing!)The Main Issue I’m trying to make my After Effects preview accurately match my rendered output (viewed in VLC/Safari), but I’m running into preview color mismatch issues on macOS.Project & Color Settings Working Color Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Use Display Color Management: OFF Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma: OFF Two Specific Problems We Are Facing1. Preview oversaturated on MacBook built-in display (My setup) On my external monitor, the AE preview matches the exported video (VLC/Safari) perfectly. However, when I move AE to the MacBook Pro built-in screen (Display P3 / Liquid Retina XDR), the preview suddenly becomes much darker and overly saturated, breaking the match with the rendered output. 2. Preview color shifts ONLY during playback (Friend's setup) Using the exact same settings on an external monitor, the preview matches the e

I’m working on a Visual Music film that uses Audio Amplitude layer keyframes created through Audio Layer > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes. The result is one linear keyframe per frame (@ 24 fps). Because its desired to act as a switch to turn on/off I’ve converted all the keyframes to hold keyframes.These key frames will be used to turn the opacity of a shape layer on and off to synchronize graphics to audio. The desired value of the keyframes should be restricted to 0 (off) or 100 (on). Keyframes of any value of other than 0 or 100 are to be deleted.I worked up an algorithm by hand processing the keyframes. But since there are over 1000 keyframes to be processed I’d like to automate the process with a script. An elaborate interface is not necessary, the goal is get the keyframes processed to get on to making the film.The workflow:    •    Prompt user to select a range of keyframes.     •    Create array of keyframe values from selection.     •    Set first keyfra

On updating AE to 26.3 and launching I got a system compatibility warning saying “This version of windows is no longer supported, future versions of this app cannot be installed on this OS.” When I click for more info it takes me to the Premiere system requirements page. From the generated system compatibility report, my versions of Windows is being reported as 10.0.22631.1 which I believe is fully up to date.  

Hi,I'm working in AE 2026.3.0 and the convert vertex shortcut from the selection tool (cmd+option) is now invoking the camera gizmo. This was an issue many versions ago and it looks like the bug is back if there are any 3d layers in the scene. Anyone have a workaround? I’m on a MacBook Pro with an M3 running Sequoia 15.7.5.Thanks!

Here is the problem guys while editing in after effects, AE doesn'nt use my gpu at all, I have to constantly switch from mercury GPU accleration (OpenCL) to Mecury software only cause when i switch to mercury GPU accleration (OpenCL) an pop up appers that says your gpu is out of memory when its not even using 1gb og video memory and the rendering time is horriable it takes 15+ hrs to render an 17sec clip, If you know the solution please help and I use intel arc a750 gpu if you wanna know.  

Hi team,I am experiencing severe performance failures and system instability across After Effects on macOS Tahoe (version 26.6). The apps are crashing, effects fail to load, previews freeze during playback, and exported/rendered video files are coming out corrupted or broken.Equipment Specs: Model: MacBook Pro (M1 Max) Memory: 64 GB RAM OS: macOS Tahoe 26.6 Software: After Effects all versions failing Main Issue: System diagnostics via powermetrics show that during playback and rendering, the Mercury Playback Engine / Metal renderer fails to engage the GPU. The hardware remains completely stuck in an idle state: GPU Active Frequency: Locked at 389 MHz (idle baseline). GPU Power Draw: ~258 mW – 335 mW (minimal power draw). High-Performance States (648 MHz – 1296 MHz): 0% activity. Because the system is not utilizing GPU acceleration, processing falls entirely on the CPU, causing heavy lag, frozen previews, effect render failures, project crashes, and corrupted media exports.Is

Scrolling font list is very slow with mouse wheel. One mouse roll equals the movement of few pixels compared to other scrollable items like Project items list for example. Please fix this.

aerender command line does not render compositions with cineware. How to fix this? New project, 1 composition, very simple project opened in cineware. When trying to render via command line, it just hangs on the line "progress...".

PrPro has  colum in the media panel list which shows how many times the clip is used in the project. In Ae i can only see that option for one clip at a time that too by scrolling to the top and seeing the poperties thumbnail which shows used x times in project. Is there a feature to tell for the entire list which ones are used and which ones arent at a glance ?Thank You

I'm having an issue with shadows when 3D objects are animated using Advanced 3D renderer and an Environment Light in After Effects. When the objects move, the shadow stutters/jumps instead of animating smoothly, even though all rendering settings in the Advanced 3D menu are set to maximum."

i need help plzwhy suddenly my after effects shapes become pixelated not vector when i draw any shape or import any doc its pixelated like when you create a circle in photoshop till yesterday it works well idk how to fix itcheck the attachment file while i zoomed a vector circle
