140 will go before 1300 if you use correct padding though (0140 or maybe 00140 and 01300 to be safe). Not that the people supplying assets will ever understand that. And anyone how gives me a file with a"." that isn't followed by a file extension needs a Paddington lomg hard stare ... View more

Thanks for looking into this. the workflow is change tools any time ever. So if I have the arrow tool selected anf I press G for the pen the properties panel pops up. If I dock it, close , it opens again when I go back to another tool. System seems stable at the moment but the conflict with overlord was a documented bug that kept BattleAxe users from being able to upgrade.  Currently AE becomes unstable at about twenty concurrent expressions, but the properties panel causes expression error reporting because the error prompts before the expressions have finished calculating. It is trying to read stuff that isn't there yet rather than looking at acahce and waiting for it to be filled. So it just freaks out and goes to the pub. Which is what I would do if I wasn't at the mercy of clients and producers I just want it closed because it is of no use to me. It shows not enough information I can access faster in other ways. It does not show all the Shape stuff hidden away in twirl down inception insanity. A massively expanded versionm of it could be a useful tilde expandable addition but not this. ... View more

Hi No you can't. It reopens every time you switch tools. hence the post! Closing it has stopped the crashing on projects with a lot of shape layer expressions or with Overlord. error code 41 I think last time But I also trashed preferences again just to make sure   ... View more

hI I have a project crashing with sampleimage. I have also found expressions really slow my machine down now that didn't before. ThreadripperPro3955WX/Nvidia4090/128GB RAM Been thinking I should have stuck to Intel But I think something is very wrong with expressions now, possibly clashing with multi-frame rendering? this is the group expression: x = thisComp.layer("GRADIENT").sampleImage(transform.position, [.5,.5]/2, true, time)[0]; 100*[x,x]   though the shapes before it are also expression linked: thisLayer.effect("RECTANGLE SIZE")(1).value;  or temp = effect("6 DIAMETER")("Slider"); [temp, temp]   and those effects are looping loopOut("cycle") and it is ONLY when I duplicate the comp   grrrrrrrr ...

Just to keep on about this.  Every single time you I open a project, I have to manully select the render location. It sometimes opens the right folder when I click on it. It sometimes opens the location of the last Animation Preset used. AE is basically not storing the last rendered location in the project file. It isn't about having custom render settings. Default settings always used to rememmber where you last rendered to and now it doesn't. Probably permissions, registry issue but I do wonder if the Asus WRX is using bifurcation on the PCIe slot to support the third on board M2 slot and that somehow confuses or doesn't register.     ...

I never use Beta. The release apps are untested enough! .Always keep everything up to date. Probably a Windows thing when AltTab switching. Maybe Windows is loading / drawing the pointless massive icons just as the app switch brings AME to focus. Don't think I am overlapping any of the drop zones.  Had a few issues with AE due to 125% UI scaling that were fine at 100 & 150%.     ... View more

DOH! Schoolboy error. Maybe this is on by default now and it wasn't before, hence me making this mistake. I guess you have a default for any image import? Not sure how often anyone would want an illustrator sequence. Maybe in stop motion ... View more

Have had to reimport by dragging but now it, and it's layers folder are called ...VECTOR\Storyboard_02_20230518b\Storyboard_02_20230518b-08.ai because AE HAS to increment names.

I'm not going anything so laborious thank you! I just try again and it works. This stuff has to be fast for us in the trenches   ... View more

I confirm that it is only at 125% for me as well, but I don't really want to work at 100 or 150   also disabling hardware acceleration in Display and Preview Prefs and restarting AE does not fix it. ... View more

Thank you for the investigation and attention. Unfortunately 125% is the perfect size for 32" UHD screen! With a big wacom and set of tangents between my 50 year old eyes and the screen i can't see 100% but 150 just seems a waste.  If i close the column i can see the right edge characters but they disappear when I open it.  ...

I always keep my creative suite, os and Nvidia studio drivers up to date, so I guess it wasn't quite fixed. I'll try toggling GPU off and restarting a few times to see if it helps. It's maybe a UHD screen issue or a cache problem. I put the render queue on the left because i have project and effects on the left because I'm right handed and its more like c4d that way.  It's also threadripper pro Windows 11pro, before you ask. It's just an interesting bug rather than a real problem, (like the number incrementing disaster) ... View more

It wouldn't need to be compressed at all. ten years ago you got realtime footage playback even with tiff seqs off of ioFX cards because they could load 5 frames simultaneously. PCIe4 M2 cards are easily fast enough. Puffin had a supercache twenty years ago. It is just bad resource allocation in after effects. Layers are cached seperately so footage should be able to be cached direct to the cache. Maybe the proclivity settings could be based on system analysis, so that a PCIe4 M2 drive would not need to go to RAM?  Ultimately though users really need to understand that AE combines two layers into one, one at a time and that can never be real time. Premiere etc plays back source footage direct with some simple GPU accelerated effects. very very different.  ... View more
