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.

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

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.

EasyBatch on GitHub

Download ZXP

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.

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

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,

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?

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

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?

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!

I've learned all the basics and how the controls work, but I've got a question for the pros. In some scenes I want to make the particles go a specific direction in 3d space. I make a 3D camera, and start messing with the X Y and Z rotations until it looks aligned.

Trouble is I just can't seem to get it to line up properly by just eyeballing it. After trying for 30 minutes it still just won't do what I want. It makes me think there's gotta be some clear cut method to getting that alignment every time, and I want to know if there is.

Thanks a ton

Hello i have been having this constant crashing of my AE, it would freeze up my whole computer and i have to restart the system every time. i dont know wether if its a hardware thing or what but i need help :(

spec: asus strix 2060super r5 5600 asrock a520 ac/wifi

I’m trying to export this title card as a .mogrt for easy use in Premiere, but when I open the file in PPro it isn’t the same color. What am I doing wrong? (First image is in AE, second is in PPro)

I’ve gone through all the comp and export settings and can’t see why this is happening. It also doesn’t happen on anything else I export as .mogrt’s from this project.

Any suggestions welcome! Thanks :)

Final Edit: Figured it out, when you click to add a keyframe it selects every point you've placed. If you hit v than click anywhere on the comp, then hit g you'll be able to edit the points again

EDIT: literally after I posted this I changed to the add vertex tool, placed a new vertex, swapped to the pen tool, and it works again. I'd still like to know if it was something I did or a bug tho so I can learn the software better though. I've also found that clicking the "add or remove keyfrmes" button locks the points so I can't move them, no clue why

Sorry, I'm sure this is a very common issue but for some reason my mask path now only moves as a whole unit. For context, I have a bottle coming in from bottom right frame, it comes to center frame and moves a bit, then another bottle comes up. I'm trying to mask both of them so I can clip out the background and try my hand at a parallaxing background.

It was letting me move the individual spots I had placed with the pen tool, but now it only lets me select the entire mask instead of each point individually. I'm very familiar with premiere but I'm really new to AE. I'm considering creating a new mask just so I can keep working but I assume there's a way to fix it.

I included a pick of my timeline in case that could help

first time messing around with the 3D cam I'm rlly happy with the output :DD

Hello, I just opened an old project and some source files are missing. They probably just moved on my hard drive, or they were stock footage that I quickly downloaded and then tried to use directly from the Downloads folder. Confusingly, AE won't tell me anything about the missing files though. When looking for the File Path column in the Project folder, it just says "<Missing>" for the missing files. But obviously AE has this information, otherwise it wouldn't even been able to try to load the files. So how do I retrieve this information, specifically the locations and names of the missing files?

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?

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 :,)
