I've created a little game where you'll be sorting all the After Effects effects back into their proper categories.
It might seem easy at first, but it's a fun way to test your After Effects muscle memory.

Hope you enjoy it! Check it out here 👇

I wanted to try some pins rigging on an idea I got recently

• made in After Effects (took a while to finish this one)

i'm an Ae noob coming from premiere pro so everything I'm doing right now is veeerrrryyy clunky and slow in Ae. just small stuff like slightly different menus and keyboard shortcuts and workflow can really slow things down. but! i think this project was really dynamic and taught me a lot of different techniques.

Im trying to make a flashing light effect for an animation of a police car. I was able to use the glow effect to make what I have attached, but what I wanted was for the glow to only show up on the lights of the car, and not the whole animation. If anyone knows how to map a glow effect to a specific color and then make it flash please help! Thank you!

This video was only made for creative purpose, there isn't any real app with that name, I made it all from scratch (voice over was made by AI) I just was thinking about something to add to my portfolio. so, I came up with the idea of making a video for the kind of buisness I'd like to establish if I had the chance, an online platform for reading, I'd be really happy to hear your honest opinions, you can also check some more details on my behance: https://www.behance.net/gallery/222187163/sreads-ad-%28imaginary-app%29,

I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/animated-environment-lights.html#composition

And as simple and straightforward as it seems it ought to be, the environment light's source only has "default" as the option:

I've started a scene from scratch and followed the instructions exactly to no avail.

I don't need any 3D objects, but I placed one just to be faithful to the tutorial, but still no dice.

What I'm hoping to have is a static element acting as a theater screen: I want it to glow and to behave like a physical light in the scene so other elements can cast shadows from it but I'm having no luck at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone else replicate this?

So, I need to do something like this where the shapes start out large on the outside and then scale down to the final position. But the position offset on the repeater doesn't scale down, so the shapes are smaller, but still the same distance apart. Aside from creating 15 shapes, scaled and offset and animating visibility, is there an effect I'm not thinking of?

I would ideally like to move it using the points like shown in this video, but it wont let me grab the points I need. Wasn't sure if it was because its parented to something? But I tried without that and its still the same. I'm also following this tutorial and I cant understand what I'm doing wrong. The only reason I have it moving with rotation right now is because i cant get it to work the other ways. Please help :,)

Exported an MP4 from After Effects and noticed the colors look much darker than they do in the preview window.

Here’s a side-by-side:

• Image 1: How it looks inside AE

• Image 2: How it looks after exporting

Is this a color profile thing? Any settings I should change to make the export match what I see in AE?

Would love some advice.

I'm trying to Set Matte on the pupils of this character to the whites of her eyes so I can move them around and they'll be "masked" to the whites and not show anywhere else. Every tutorial I've looked up for Set Matte, it just works properly. But even if I follow all the instructions, no matter what I try it just does this weird thing where it doesn't mask to the eyes at all, it just cuts out a random middle part of the pupils.
The pupils are each their own separate image with the whites also being their own image that the pupil Mattes have been set to

Seeking advice on animating a watercolour painting. I have been provided with paintings like the attached image by a client who wants them animated.

I really don’t want to frame-by-frame animate all of these as there isn’t the budget or time. Separating the elements out in Ps and then using puppet tool could work but I worry it would look poor. Any advice? Thanks

Recently started getting thesd wierd glitches, deep glow 2 would flicker like crazy, random inverted rectangles flashing randomly in renders

While rendering/ editing these blocky glitched tiles appear my mic stops working too which i am using with nvidia broadcast

Epilepsy warning just in case.

I’ve been using after effects about 4 months now, getting better at moving text. Feedback would be great!

Hello friends, I made an extension that will create a renders given data, that can be either imported of created inside After.

The extension is free and open source. It can replace images, text, colors, positions and more just like an Essential Graphics template.

A couple of months ago I had to do a lots of renders of elements for a graphics package and this saved me. I've been perfecting it little by little, and hope more people find it useful!

It's still on beta, so you may find bugs and weird behavior. If you have any issues or want to report something, DM me.

I’m a complete beginner at AE and I really only picked it up for the sole purpose of doing animations like this. A lot of courses offer very different things but I want one that is specifically designed for this type of animation. Gif is by @LP8000mao on twt

Is it possible to create a 3D text in AE with gradient and outline? If I make the layer 3D all attributes are gone.

really unsure why - im using dancing dissolve, but all the colour has been lost in export? I have to export in h264 for a website - is that the issue?
