Many FBX models come with looping animation. When bringing them into After Effects, it'd be really great, if they could be set to loop. Right now, if you select an animation option, it just plays it once.

While you can kinda do this natively with text animators and a whole load of these ................................ tracked tightly, that's not good enough - it should be in shape layers with the ability to use repeaters, dashes, tapers, and trimming that are impossible or harder to make work with text animators. And, sure, there are third-party options like Red Giant's Trapcode 3D Stroke which can do this, but it should be native!

This feature is now in the public beta of After Effects! The shortcut is shift+tab or you can click the anchor point icon thingy in the Properties Panel.

If you have Red Giant tools, Trapcode Particular might be perfect for this. Depending on how exact you have to be on your dot placement, it could be fairly simple to make your dots be particles on a mask and then use flocking with target attraction powered up and other flocking behaviors turned down. I'd use the velocity over life curve to tweak the acceleration and deceleration. This would essentially suck all of your particles into the center and then you could just reverse it! Alternatively, you could use flocking to go the other way with predator/prey behavior to make the particles come out of the center and head towards the correct dot positions. If you don't have Red Giant tools, I think my initial suggestion in this thread is a pretty good one, but it'll be even easier. Just set a keyframe at their resting place, move back in time and reset all of their positions to default (or whatever the starting position is. With all the layers selected, this would only be a couple of clicks! If you want to have control over the keyframe easing, you could use Flow from aescripts to get a custom easing across 1800 keyframe pairs very quickly. If you like Rick's suggestion for Shatter, just use the gravity and other settings to make the pieces fall away from you and then reverse that - it'll look like they're coming from the middle.

I've been living with this issue for a couple of months now and, it turns out, it's more complicated than I initially thought! If it's not letting me edit the look of the captions, I can close Premiere Pro, open it back up, and the functionality returns. So, at some point, it just stops letting it happen. So, to be clear, I'll be editing, transcribing, creating captions, etc. and then when I go to edit the look of them, I can't edit even one (much less multiple ones simultaneously). So I close Premiere Pro, re-open it, and I then can edit the look of the captions as expected in the Properties panel.

Previously (like, a week or two ago), I was able to select all of the captions in my sequence and the Essential Graphics panel would show all of the properties of the captions (that is, font, position, etc.) and I could edit everything at once. Life was good. In a very recent beta version, all the editing functionality disappeared from the Essential Graphics panel (in fact, the Essential Graphics panel was gone and replaced with the Graphics Templates panel), but the Properties panel still worked to do it. This was fine, but an odd change (especially since the Captions and Graphics workspace only included the Graphics Templates panel and not the Properties panel). In the latest beta that I just installed yesterday, I can no longer bulk edit the captions from the Properties panel either - I can get it into a mode where I can bulk change the font, but not the position (by "upgrading" the captions to graphics. So, to put it simply, there is no longer an Essential Graphics panel, the Graphics Template panel has no edit mode, and the Properties panel won't let me bulk change the position (and it's tricky to get it to let me edit the font) - even when upgrading the captions to graphics! Please fix this. It was working great before and now it's borked.

The issue here is that your license for Trapcode 15 is not a license to use the latest version. If you want to use the most recent version of Particular with all of the new features, you will need an active Red Giant subscription or Maxon One subscription. If you want to use your legacy Trapcode 15 version, the directions here will help you get it to license correctly without the red x: https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/11537182300444-How-do-I-use-my-old-Red-Giant-serial-numbers-to-register-older-products

Steps to reproduce: 1. After tracking with AE's native point tracker, press the grave/tilde key with mouse over the timeline panel to maximize it 2. Turn off animation for one of the keyframed tracking parameters or paste keyframes from one tracker's parameters to another. Result: Timeline panel pops back down to its normal size Expected: I can work in the expanded view System info Application: After Effects (Beta) v24.4.0.23 OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 31.85 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 12

I have never, in the history of AE, used "Hide Other Video" and would be on board with that being the paste reversed command instead.

Set Matte, Calculations, Displacement Map - what do these three effects have in common? They all rely on another layer to drive them. There are many other places in After Effects where effects need to refer to other layers and it helps AE be a powerful tool. However, there's a big limitation. There is no ability to keyframe this parameter. When referencing another layer, sometimes it'd be lovely to switch what layer it is! I know it'd be a hold keyframe and that's fine. But this seems like a really useful feature to have.

The Paint Bucket is an unsung and underused hero in After Effects. It's very handy to grab a quick section of a layer with the Stencil Alpha feature. It'd be really handy if we could punch multiple holes in a layer with a Silhouette Alpha mode as well. Please add that to the list of options in Paint Bucket.

Footage works fine in AE otherwise. Happens with MP4 and MOV ProRes 422. When I load the footage into the layer panel and select the Roto Brush tool, it goes black With an NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU Issue does not occur in "shipping" version of AE.

I'd suggest uninstalling the Red Giant stuff, see if the problem persists. If it goes away, then reinstall the Red Giant stuff and try again. Should be good. If you uninstall and are still seeing the issue, contact Maxon support (at support.maxon.net and file a ticket) and they may be able to help out - perhaps there's an old component from an earlier version that is sticking around and causing the message to pop up or something. I'm not seeing the issue and I have the latest Trapcode installed too.

If you duplicate your comp in the project panel and then change something inside of the new version, it will be unique from the earlier version. That said, if there are comps inside of the comp you're duplicating, you'll have to duplicate them too (and re-nest them in the duplicated main comp). Or use the True Comp Duplicator script. Or use Essential Properties (but those may have to be expression-linked through levels of precomp nesting).

The good news is that Supercomp (and all of Red Giant's tools) have been updated for Apple Silicon - in fact, Real Lens Flares works better on M1/M2 than on most other hardware. The bad news is that it looks like you're still having an issue. I'd recommend filing a support ticket at support.maxon.net so they can look a bit more deeply into your issue.

When using the new Generative Fill option in Photoshop Beta, it would be very handy if the layer name of the newly generated layer would be the text prompt (if a prompt is used). It can stay, "Generative Layer x" if there's no prompt associated with it.
If the concern is that the layer name might be too long, perhaps just use the main noun? For example, I just generated "a wrought iron birdbath" - having the layer name be "Birdbath" would be wonderful!

For what it's worth, there is a GPU-accelereated, real-time 3d renderer in AE - and it's been there for a few versions! If you drop into draft 3d mode now, you're using it!
That engine has been extended to the latest version of the public beta which released yesterday and now allows you to import 3d objects into AE natively.

The After Effects team was 100% looking at the UserVoice request pages. I know because I've talked with them about it many times. EVERY post on there was read by a team member. There just wasn't a lot of feedback from them on there. Hopefully moving it to these forums will help facilitate better feedback.
