  "Are you new to After Effects?" While I appreciate Mr. Rick Gerard's expertise in community patronizing, I find his approach somewhat prescriptive. After Effects needs modernization, particularly in its user interface and shortcuts. The software should focus on improving basic functionality like smooth preview performance before adding 3D features—features that can't compete with dedicated 3D applications like Blender or Cinema 4D, which seem to appeal more to Adobe's marketing team than actual users. While the suggested workflow steps are traditional, they don't address the core issue: we need better playback performance from Adobe After Effect. For context, I'm experiencing these performance issues despite using high-end hardware: 62GB RAM, Asus ProArt workstation, NVIDIA 4080, and AMD Ryzen 9—all while working with just a 15-second composition. Quick note: This problem started after purging RAM. ¯\(ツ)/¯ ... View more

@Kevin-MonahanThanks for the apology but I don't think it's necessary. I have recently raised concern over this issue, so I am aware there are personnel investigating this issue, particularly in the newest version. However, as you can see from this FAQ page, this issue is not new at all. In fact, I would describe it more closely to a feature of your programs rather than a bug, given the current status. I think the language both you and the team in India are using to describe this issue frames it as an anomaly that only appeared recently, which is misleading. We are literally ON the FAQ page for this extensively documented issue right now. Anyone who calls it a new problem is gaslighting.   Users who calibrate their screens (or "colorists" as the office in india uses to describe those experiencing this issue) simply will have to decide between calibrating the color of their display OR use the default mode and access colors in the library panel. As I see it, users just can't have both those things, they just have to pick. Do I think it's fair? No, not at all. Will anything be doe to remedy this? Well, it's been 6+ years and still going strong, so you tell me. ... View more

1: Go to the "Organizing Pages" tool 2: Click "More" 3: Click "Page Labels" 4: In the "Pages" section, go to the page range option instead of "all" or "selected" and select the starting page for the substantive portion of your brief and go through the end of the substantive portion 5: Under "Numbering," keep the regular typeface and have it start at 1. You will then see two pages numbers. For example, in the brief I just did this in, it shows page 4 but to the right it shows "(4 of 36)" because it is actually PDF page 4. ... View more

You can use QuickScript extension to quickly run a script: var proj = app.project; var thisComp = proj.activeItem; var selectedLayers = thisComp.selectedLayers; app.beginUndoGroup("undo"); for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) { thisComp.layers.precompose([selectedLayers[i].index], selectedLayers[i].name, true); } app.endUndoGroup();   ...

System color or monitor calibration does not have absolutely anything to do with multiple outputs looking different from the source, it is even non logical to think of it that way. It has to do with the color profile export and compression. LUT compensation needs to be created to fix the compression deviation. ... View more

Hello, I fixed this issue by doing the following: * right click the problematic clip * select RENDER & REPLACE * In the pop up menu change "sequence" to "individual clips" * Deselect checkbox "Handles" so that the new rendered clip is the exact size of the one in the sequence (assuming this is your final cut) * Press ok * From the project window, locate the rendered file (should be highlighted after render is complete) * replace it with the corrupt clip from sequence   Good luck!

I am getting a similar error when trying to save an IRS I-9 form that requires me to add my signature after someone else has signed. I have tried all of the suggestions in this thread but none work for me, I get this error: "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (26)." I don't have the option to extract pages when I go to organize pages, all the tools are blurred out and I can't use them. When I try to save as other, optimized PDF is blurred out and all of the other options give me an error. When I try to save a copy and save with a different name I get the same error. When I try to print to PDF, it says that I don't have a printer installed, and googling on how to install PDF as a print option it looks like this isn't possible anymore on a Mac? I am including a screenshot with my Adobe version info. I mostly use Adobe for signing these kinds of forms and it is really frustrating to waste so much time troubleshooting things like this that should take a couple of minutes at most.    ... View more

Hi Danniel,   You can try contacting Adobe to ask, but they only support the current release and the one prior, so it's not likely that you'd be able to get installers from that far back. Sorry, wish we could help more!   ... View more
