@rashidg36532863, Thanks again for reporting this issue. We have a ticket open on this issue, so it was not lost in the transition from Uservoice to Adobe forums. I also moved this thread from Discussions to the Bugs.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @cdglab, Thank you for reporting this issue. A log file would be helpful for us to see more information on the std::exception. Since you cannot launch to enable logging, try this: Open a new blank file in TextEdit Select Format > Make Plain Text if it not already a plain text file Save the blank file as "After Effects (Beta) Log.txt" in "/Users/<yourUserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects (Beta)/25.3/logs". Please create the logs folder if it doesn't exist. Try to launch After Effects. Share the After Effects (Beta) Log.txt file with us via a link (since .txt files cannot be attached to a post)   Thanks very much for any further info, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

@Jay C - Atlanta Thank you for those details.   I see that you've posted about this previously in the Discussions section, mentioning that this is occurring in both After Effects 2024 and 2025. If that's the case, I'll see if our team is able to reproduce in either of those versions.   Regarding format, are you primarily working with footage from a camera or files exported from another video application? What codecs are being used by the interlaced files?   Thanks for any further info, - John, After Effects Engineering Team    ... View more

Hi @spiegelball, Thank you for reporting this. Would you be able to share one of your plug-ins with us so that we can reproduce the failure?   Is the failure to load happening on all both Mac and Windows, or only Mac?   Thank you for any further information, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

Hi @Jay C - Atlanta, Thank you for reporting this issue. You mentioned that you're used to After Effects immediately honoring the interlacing change—what version where you using previously that honored the change immediately?   Also, what is the interlaced format you are working with?   Thank you again for reporting this issue, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

Hi @_Maik, A fix for this issue is available in the latest Beta builds of After Effects (25.2.0.35 or later). Please give this a try in After Effects (Beta) and let us know if you continue to experience a crash when selecting ProRes QX in the Render Queue.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

Hi @ahmed hamed elsaid, thank you for patience and for mention.   In looking at your specs and the log file, I see a couple possible culprits for the slow down. Please try the following and let us know if it makes a difference to the lag: There is at least one ScriptUI panel being loaded when After Effects starts. If you remove that panel from the workspace, does the performance improve? Separate from the script, does AE's UI performance improve if you disable your internet device or disconnect from the internet?   Thanks again for your patience, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

@monicah18480071 Auto Levels is an effect that ships with After Effects, so you'll need to disable "Only Show Third-Party Effects" in order to see it in the list.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @simon0815, Thanks for reporting this issue. If you change the word "Slider" to 1, does it work? E.g.    effect("Slider Control")(1);   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team    ... View more

Hi all, This issue has been fixed in the 25.1 version of After Effects. Please let us know if you continue to see this error after updating to 25.1 or later.   Thanks again for reporting this issue, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @ahmed hamed elsaid, Thank you for reporting this issue. We have been investigating similar reports from others using After Effects 25.x (both release and Beta), but we've been unable to reproduce this lag in-house thus far. Would you be able to provide your system specs?  Windows version CPU RAM (memory) GPU GPU memory GPU driver version   Additionally, could you share an application log? Follow these steps to create one: Select "Enable Logging" in the Help menu Quit and relaunch AE (as prompted) Create a comp, move a layer, move the Current Time Indicator, and move a guide in the comp. Quit After Effects. Go to C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\<version>\logs Share the After Effects Log.txt file as a link (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc), ideally via DM in the forums since it will contain file paths.   Thank you again for reporting this and assisting with our investigation, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

Thank you all for your feedback! In testing, we've also noticed descrepancies between zoom speeds on different devices. For those of you that feel the zoom speed is too slow, what OS platform are you on and what device/action are you using for zoom? E.g. scroll wheel, pinch on trackpad, etc.   - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Thanks for this feedback, @Brent Walker.  You don't need to switch tools to zoom—scroll wheel zoom is always available and so is pinch-to-zoom on trackpads, both of which default to centering on the mouse cursor. Holding Z also works as a hotkey to temporarily engage the Zoom tool. Let us know if this addresses your concerns. - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi all, We been able to communicate this issue to the Mocha team at Boris and they have provided a fix for this issue. It is currently available to try out in the latest Beta builds of After Effects—please install the Beta and let us know if it is fixed for you as well or if you encounter any related issues with Mocha.   Thanks again for your reports about this, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ...

Hi @Hani ElTiby, Could you share a project that behaves differently in AE 2023 than in 2024? There haven't been any changes to the coordinate systems of layer parenting during this time. What you might be seeing is a difference in the coordinate systems of sourced layers (Solids, footage, stills, etc) and non-sources layers (Shapes, Text, Cameras, etc). Looking at a project would be the best way to determine the descrepancy you're seeing.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @예건262009771ezd, Thank you for reporting this issue, sorry to see you're experiencing this crash.   When you experience this crash, are you prompted to submit a crash report? If so, please make sure to submit the crash report with your CC email address. These reports are critical to any crash investigation.   Additionally, a log file from After Effects would be helpful for us to see more details about the crash as it occurs. Please follow these steps to collect a log file:  Select "Enable Logging" from the Help menu and relaunch After Effects.  Create a 3D layer to trigger the crash  Open Explorer to C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\25.1\logs  Share the After Effects Log.txt file (ideally as a link in a DM here in the forum, since the log will contain some file paths that you may not want to share publicly.)   Thank you again for reporting this issue and for any additional information you can provide, - John, After Effects Engineering Team ...

@Matt2894429885pz Unfortunately there is no update on this at the moment. Until the issue is resolved, I'd agree that you may want to rework your extension to avoid using closeExtension for the settings.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @sofi_vat, Thank you for reporting this issue. Yes, the marquee selection rectangle was broken by a recent change, but it should be restored in Beta build 25.2.0 (102) or later.

Hi @hfyhjxnce, Thank you for reporting this issue. Do you continue to experience the memory warning in version 25.0 or 25.1? There are some fixes around memory management in those versions that might address what you are seeing.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team   ... View more

Thanks @1suky1! This feedback is very appreciated.    I didn't read the post and my first instinct was Create menu but it's grayed out, and I can't figure out in which scenario it wouldn't be grayed out. It could be way easier through Create. A popup appears with all possible positional properties and I select which ones I want to create? Instead of me having to go into each effect, select the position property, then make sure I right click on them to get Keyframe Assistant menu...    This is an interesting suggestion. I'd be somewhat concerned about the sheer number of possible properties being overwhelming. What I'd suggest is filtering the properties in your Timeline to the effect properties you want to create Nulls for, then select them and create the Nulls. Would love others to weigh in here, too.   Another similar improvement would be "Create parented nulls for selected layers". I had many situations with a bunch of images in different sizes that need to be evenly positioned, sized, and then animated. So the only option is to painstakingly start creating nulls, or precomposing every image 1 by 1... This one would definitely be in Create menu.   Thanks for this, too! Would this be a separate feature request? Also, we can right click from Effect panel on the property and get Keyframe Assistant menu but the option is again grayed out, but from properties panel it is not. If it's gonna stay in Keyframe Assistant then it should definitely work from Effects panel.   This is the result of there being differences in how the Properties panel and Effect Controls work; the Properties panel selects a property when you right-click it, but the Effect Controls does not, changing whether the menu command is enabled. It a very valid point though. Is the Keyframe Assistant an ideal place this command or would the Create menu alone make more sense?    And I might have found a bug? Creating positional point null for Shape layer's anchor point messes up its position. On solids it works fine. This is a good call out. Shapes and Solids are handled differently, so we'll take a look at this case. That said, does selecting the Position property of the Shape layer produce the correct result? How would you use linking the Anchor Point to a Null differently than linking the Position? Thanks again for this feedback! - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

@_Maik I've just checked and we are aware of this issue, with a ticket open and ready to be investigated. The information from you would still be helpful, however.   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Hi @_Maik, Thank you for reporting this issue in the Beta build.   Could you please provide the following information: What specific version and build number of the Beta crashed for you?  What are your system specs? This is very important since the error implicates your GPU. Does this happen consistently when you select ProRes XQ?   Thanks again, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more

Thank you, this is good to know. I'm also unsure if anyone might be relying on the workspace changing when opening a project, but that's why we've got it in Beta. Spread the word and let others know to weigh in!   Cheers, - John, After Effects Engineering Team  ... View more
