Hi Guys ! I have a problem about render. I set a template and began to render with media encoder (H264). Length of the video is twenty seconds.
But it is taking long time. What should I do ? (720p)
Original Template is 1080p. I used scale script on render composition.
(Sorry for my bad eng)
Y'know, I really wish the high school kids had chosen an application like Apple Motion to make their lame-*** visualizers and YouTube intros. Life around here would be a lot simpler and mush less tedious.
Besides, you buy Motion just once and you're done. You don't have to pay rent on it every month.
AMD or Nvidia? Which one is a better choice for someone who works with AE and Premiere Pro?
Hi, I need to create something like these orbs, tried doing them with circles and distort effects, but no luck so far, maybe you guys have some ideas?
There is also animation of these orbs 0:11-0:15: Elika - VJ Loops Pack Vol.52 Slow Decorations - YouTube
Thank you.
Whenever I open after effects it says "After effects error: Warning: Frame Size Input Error, Layer base size must be the same, time for some precomp maybe? (512) ( 25 :: 241 )"
And when I try to ram preview, it says "After effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback"
Any help? Thanks!
As of a few days ago I'm suddenly experiencing lag when navigating around, scrubbing the timeline (as in cursor movement), using keyboard shortcuts, drag selecting keyframes etc.
Also RAM preview occasionally shows a red warning its not playing back in realtime.
This is a pretty new system that I'm only starting to use in anger and all has seemed fine until a few days ago, and I haven't updated anything to my knowledge.
I've an SSD for system disk, dedicated SSD for AE cache, 2 x HDD (1 for projects, 1 to render to).
I've deleted my preferences and purged all the cache several times and still have issues.
A new empty project seems fine, but if I make a new comp and add a new layer it starts to lag if I CTRL-D duplicate the layers (after about 20) and try to CTRL-A and expand a property (e.g position P)
As I say I've been working on a few proejct with lots of layers over the past month and not experienced the lag (though I have the red RAM preview warning)
I'm baffled as everything has seemed fine until very recently and I'm not aware of updating anything prior to noticing this issue.
Any ideas anyone?

I'm trying to open an Apple Motion project in After Effects. I'm using ProImport, it recognizes the file but before loading it I get an error message that says the following:
(5027 :: 12) After Effects Plugin Pro Import: "Fatal Internal AAF/OMF/XML error. Please contact customer support." *0:1134) (5027 :: 12)
And then it doesn't import anything.
Any ideas as to what I need to make this work? Is this a known bug?
I am rendering quite a few music videos that are composited from start to finish with Keylight in AE CC 2017. This issue has been happening in CC 2015.2 and 2015.3 and I can't seem to find a fix for it. Every time I open a project that uses Keylight, the first time I open it, it crashes. Sometimes while scrubbing through with the playhead, it crashes. Every time I try to render within After Effects to a full bitrate H264, it crashes. Even sending it to Media Encoder is a crap shoot as to whether or not it fails or completes (much less that it doesn't use all my RAM or CPU). It will render to different points in the video each time before crashing, so it's not a specific piece of media that is causing the issue. It is crashing using source files of various mediums and codecs and formats (which I will list below). I've updated graphics drivers, rolled back graphics drivers, nothing seems to work. After crashes, After Effects and AME sometimes don't open, freeze when you try to do anything in them, requiring a system reboot.
Rendering other projects that do not contain keylight effects appears to be working flawlessly. It does look like it is a problem with the keylight plugin, however I do not have another option for compositing as the built in, default, keying effects in After Effects are terrible and do not have the amount of control needed for these applications. I have tried 2 methods with keylight. Using keylight as a track matte and then using an advanced spill suppressor to remove the green and levels to adjust color, and then using keylight on it's on with final result as the render option. Both ways causes crashing.

I have tried rendering to Quicktime using an H264 codec, MPEG-4 Video codec and more recently (through AME) AVI using an 8-bit uncompressed 4:2:2 codec. Encoding to uncompressed managed to work once but I can't keep rendering out 30 GB files when I have so many to make.
Solutions I've tried:
Emptying disk cache
Emptying AE temp files
Rebooting PC
Converting media to another format
Rendering to another format
Re-creating the project
Using the media on a local drive
Attempt to render on another machine
Update to newer versions of After Effects
If there is something set up incorrectly with my workflow or some setting in some menu that needs to be changed then someone please let me know. I've been going through the forums and trying to find answers but everything I've seen has either said "it's The Foundries plugin, take it up with them" or the default list of try these if you are getting errors and crashes. I've tried them and I'm getting really tired of keylight causing so many problems through so many different builds of Creative Cloud. I know Keylight is made by The Foundry but Adobe has seen fit to integrate it into it's baseline plugin/effect set so please either offer a fix or make The Foundry fix their plugin if you wish to continue including it in After Effects.
I have a issue with an AE template I bought. When I type text, it spaces out certain letters in the word. It also shows these green boxes around each grouping of letters.

Is there a way to fix this so the words are all spaced out even? Thank you
I have PSD file that includes smart objects (PSB files). When I import that PSD to AE, PSB files becomes just a non-editable layer. Is it possible to import it a have actually editable compositions from that PSB files? Thanks.
I am painting over lines in my video in After Effects and for some reason halfway through my project I realized that I suddenly lost the ability to undo brush strokes when I made mistake. I pressed Ctrl-Z and the brush stroke didn't delete! I keep pressing undo (the menu says Edit-> "Undo Stroke") but nothing happens. When I open the effect in the timeline on my layer, I can see the brush strokes deleting layer by later when I Undo, but nothing changes on the screen until I hit the last layer when the menu says "Edit -> Undo Apply Paint Effect" and once I do that, every stroke deletes all at once. It's super frustrating that it was working and suddenly stopped. Hoping someone has an answer for this!
Adobe After Effects CＣ2017です。アニメーションプリセット参照からBridgeが立ち上がり、Presetsの中にあるファイルをダブルクリックしても、「ファイルタイプまたは拡張子がサポートされてい ません」と表示され、読み込む事ができません。 なぜこのPresetsを読み込む事ができないのでしょうか？ 使用するには、どのようにすれば良いですか？ アップデートするまでは普通に使えていました。
Hi all
Im very new to After Effects and need some help
Iv recently been Go Karting and filmed it on my go pro at 1920 x 1080 p 60fps (file is about 3gb)
Anyway iv added it to after effects and cut out the parts i didnt want.
went to render it (setting i used was quicktime H.264 found this was best from youtube)
the file was 15.5 gb once done!!!! i just want to put this on facebook.
How can i make this smaller???
Please help and if you can dumb it down haha just learning at the moment.
Always, when I ram preview in AE (even if everything is already cached), the audio plays just a couple of frames then there is no audio for a second or two and then it plays almost normal (sometimes there are other audio skips, it seems when starts another audio layer).
I had this problem in AE CC 2015, then there was un update that solves the problem (CC 2015.3 I guess). But when I upgraded to CC 2017 the problem came back again, and now that I have tried to re install CC 2015.3 I still have the same problem.
I'm using AE on windows 10. I've noticed that, if I uncheck "mute audio when preview is not Real-Time" option in Preferences, the problem disapper, but the audio slow pitch is very annoying.
Please tell me how to solve it, I'm wasting a lot of time.
The problem:
I've enabled Time Remapping on a composition and am using the loopOut() expression to repeat a 16 second animation until the end of the video.
When I apply the expression, it places a keyframe at the beginning of the clip and at the 16 second mark. When I look at the single frame at the 16 second mark, the composition is not visible. (The object boundaries are visible to scale/move but the image is not.) This also occurs at the 32sec mark, 48sec mark, 64sec mark...
The solution I found (that's not working for me):
What happens instead:
Once I delete the keyframe at the 16 second mark, the keyframe at 15;29 becomes blank. The last keyframe will always be blank, no matter where it was placed, before or after the original.
If I have four keyframes and delete the last one (#4), the third keyframe will become blank. If I then delete the third keyframe, the second keyframe will become blank.
Any troubleshooting help would be appreciated.
I'm going to design a specialized shortcut keyboard for After Effects and was wondering if anyone here got any ideas, thoughts or wishes to such a product?
You can see a variety of out former products on http://logickeyboard.com

hello,
how do I achieve, text layers updating automatically their name when changing text in the comp view ?
it only does on new layers but never on duplicated ones !
is that intended to be or is there a hidden preference or short cut
thanks in advane
yours näSh
Every time I try it tells me it is not supported and its damaged
Has anyone run into issues copying a sequence colored with Lumetri from Premiere 2017 to AE2017?
Last week I kept getting an error in AE when trying to paste a sequence from Premiere. AE would error after one clip (dialogue below) and paste only that one clip. So I had to copy/paste one clip at a time to get the sequence imported.
This didn't happen to the sequence before it was colored with Lumetri. This copy/paste method worked with Lumetri prior to 2017.
