When I try to launch AE in my main account it doesn't start ... no messages, no errors, nothing!

Every other Adobe app (Photoshop, Illustrator, ...) run correctly.

I've enabled the Administrator account and here I can launch AE without any problem.

Already tried to uninstall and re-install the app.

I'm running WIN10 64bit on a DELL Precision T7610 workstation with 32Gb RAM.

After effects is the last version CC 2017, installed from Creative cloud.

What should I do to run AE in my main account?

Thanks,

I know there is a separate thread on this issue - but his seems to have been solved by turning off windows defender- that doesn't solve my problem

My company has just bought a new windows pc - (i9 7900x 10 core cpu-64gb ram- gtx 1080 ti gfx card)

and we are having the - 1601053463 disk full error- making quicktimes to a network drive using CC premiere pro , after effects or media encoder it does the same error on all of them-

The pc is on an OSXserver. and it renders fine to the desktop

all other Macs on the server render fine to the drive.

the drive is formatted to ntfs

I have full permissions to the drive.

anyone else had this? doesn't seem to be a very common problem

Hi，my friends，

My English is poor，so this post have some mistakes in words or grammar，I am so sorry。

How can I get the coordinate property of the Starting point and end point of a path？

Now，I want animate this:

a straight line，it is a path，It is simple：straight line，it have two point，one is start point，the other is end point.

And,We have two track paths，they are more complicated，we called them: Path A and Path B. Path A is different from Path B.

I want binding the start point on Path A and binding the end point on Path B.

The animation is:the two points of this straight line each follow his own track path，and the straight line changed it‘s length and angle.

I thought that，I can copy Path A key frames，and paste to start point，then copy Path B key frames，and paste to end point。

You know，I can not find the coordinate property(X and Y) of start point or end point,in timeline panel.

The point of a path have not this property.You can not modify the coordinate property(X and Y) of a point.You can only manual drag the point to generate key frames.

It is so inefficient and inaccurate.

How can I solve this problem?

I know，

I can copy Path A key frames，and paste to start point，then use expressions in rotation property and scale property of the straight line.

Because，we can only use these two helpful properties.

Maybe，It can solve my problem.

But,It is still difficulty:coordinate，expression，formula，calculation，trigonometric function ，etc

SO，I still want to know how can I solve this problem?

THANKS A LOT!!!My dear friends!

Mask to Apply Transparency

≪ Previous: How can I get the coordinate property of the Starting point and end point of a path？

Hello! I'm new to AE and especially masks.

Goal: I want to limit where the affected parts of the video goes, leaving the rest transparent.

Problem: I am using Displacement Mapping, which distorts original image out of location. Therefore, even if I apply mask on adjustment layer to limit DMap to one area, since the result of DMap lands outside the mask, there will still be content outside of map. This only controls where effect is applied, and doesnt limit result parameters.

Perhaps I can apply inverted mask to higher level layer and fill with invisible paint to nullify that reion for all layers under it? I do not know how

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know why the puppet tool would stop moving in both x,y directions and be confined to just moving on the y directions?

I've worked with the puppet tool and this same humanoid character for some time now. Just today about halfway through an animation the characters puppet points stopped being able to move in all directions and were confined to moving up and down along an unseen path.

I tried recreating the asset and it still comes to the same issue.

Could I have accidentally hit something to make the points be confined to a singular direction?

Any help is appreciated.

Yesterday I've decided to finally update from AE CC 2015.3 to AE CC 2017.2 and now I cannot export .tga sequences with alpha channel in 24-bit compression. The settings are same I've been using until now except now the images are on black instead of transparent background. Changing codec setting to 32-bit fixed it for my sake, but my client still cannot import the alpha channel. The same is happening with the old version of AE, I opted to keep during the installation.
Is it a bug or feature? And what can I do about it?

Hi all,

I do stopmotion on green screen that i have to put behind the puppet every shot.

I already know how to do normal chroma keying and in the following example i always remove the green screen with black space.

But what I would like to know how i can do is to make the changes that happen in the top photo (Black space background) that is happening because of the green screen affect the bottom photo only in the areas where the green screen is in the top photo.

Ray-traced 3D errors - tried posted fixes no results

Hello,

I am getting errors when I try to work with a 3D text layer using GPU for ray-traced 3D. I have tried the modification to the raytracer text file as suggested, and varying whether the "enable untested unsupported GPU for CUDA acceleration of ray-traced 3D renderer" is selected or not, all to no avail. The error pop-up insists that I am out of paged mapped memory or my project is exceeding GPU limits which is crazy because I am only working with a single text layer in my composition.

My machine has 16GB of RAM and my video card is supposedly supported according to Adobe - it is a GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB video card memory and has the latest drivers installed. Any help you can provide to get me able to use ray-tracing to access extruding text functionality would be great. Thanks!

Hello world,

For some reason when I am doing color correction on my image it generates

some rare squares on my image.

I am using .EXR 32Bit Image and to target the parts i want to edit i use color keying

and than duplicate the image and set the layer with alpha keying to alpha inverted matte.

Is it because of that or is something else the problem ?

Would appreciate some help.

AE Colorspace Working space 'none'

August 21, 2017, 2:58 am

≫ Next: Shortcut for exiting Type Tool?

≪ Previous: Cryptomatte support in AE

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out how to solve color issues we encounter during a RED (R3D) workflow through After Effects. I hope someone can shine some light on this.
We have interpretted the R3D inside AE 2017 with the RED importer (interpret footage > more options) as follows:

- colorspace: Dragoncolor2

- gamma: REDgamma4

- rest as default, only the ISO as shot.

We have left the AE working space to 'none', as we usually use OCIO to manage colors to know what happens. Though we mostly do some removal work on this footage, so we won't need much color changes.

The project is set to 32bit and we render image sequences to 16-bit EXR's with preserveRGB enabled.

At our end, everything works as expected. However, the grading facility had trouble getting enough color information from the EXR's.

Of course, you lose some dynamic range from the raw file when importing them with these settings. But I find it very strange that they claim the available colorgamut is sRGB, not DragonColor2.

So, what I would like to know is what happens under the hood when the After Effects colormanagement is set to none. Is must operate in some colorspace, it just should convert any colors if you don't want it to.
Or is this a known issue with the RED importer perhaps? How would we avoid losing color information from the R3D?

Hey all,

When it comes to caching frames. Why is it that if I drag the CTI back and forth across the area I want to cache, the green bar fills in & the frames can be ready to play at real time in just a few seconds. Whereas if I just hit play and let the frames cache one at a time the same area could take 100x as long (if not more) to cache?

I'm just wondering.

Real quick, after effects closes every single time i try and preview. sometimes during preview, most of the time exactly as i hit the spacebar to stop preview. i have removed effects from the video and have the same result. It started to crash once in a while when i started the project, but now after about a month it is crashing every time during playback.

I am working on a macbook pro 13in 2017, 2.3 GHz intel core i5, 8Gb ram, mac os sierra version 10.12.6

After effects version 14.2.1.34

after trying all fixes that i could online with no success, I did a complete reinstall of my operating system as well as a fresh install of after effects, and start a new project. no change. the one thing that did seem to help was changing my composition settings from 1152 to 1080. I am working with gopro footage, which are .MP4 files, although i did not seem to find other people with any conflict with that type of footage.

Please let me know any information i am missing that might be necessary.
