Hi guys,
I created a building vector and I want to try to do a "fly through" effect to transition through the door to my next vector. What is the best way to achieve this effect?

Motion Graphics Template Import Error...
I made a motion graphics template in After Effects, and every time I try to use it in my timeline in Premiere Pro, I get this error:
"This Motion Graphics template was created in After Effects. To use this template in Premiere Pro, please install After Effects (trial or license) and retry.
Learn more: adobe.com/go/mgt"
As I've said, though, I made the template in After Effects (I already have it installed). Can anyone help me out?
Thank you!

Render Queue Output To link doesn't work

The blue "Output To" link is clickable, but nothing happens when I do click on it. I have re-installed it, cleared my preferences, and tried the "Clear Settings" option under the Sync Settings menu in the top right.

After Effects 2017 preview lagging
I've update AE to the newest version and the preview is lagging. I can't preview in real-time anymore (RAM stuck at 11/12 fps or something). Even a simple motion in the simplest composition doesn't play smooth.
Also when I start previewing (spacebar), I can't stop the preview without After Effects crashing or lagging (constant spinning wheel) and have to wait for it to respond or restart AE.
Audio preview is also a horror. Within 2 frames of playback the audio slows down and pitches down. These problems I never had with the previous version. I can't work on my projects without a normal preview and animating on a voiceover. What's going on here? Any thoughts?
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) - 2,5 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Cinema 4D render help
Hi guys,
I am relatively new to Cinema 4D (I am Maya trained so I tend to use that and export rendered files from there) But I am now finally getting around to learning cinema 4D.
I saw this tutorial on the twitter so I have followed that but now I have taken it back into after effect and one of the objects/extruded objects is not appearing.
(AE is green background and C4D is black background)
As you can see the cross is not appearing in Ae. Anyone know what the error could be?
Running on Windows 10 PC with the latest versions of CC and C4D

Feedback wanted: Dell P2715Q monitor
The After Effects team is tracking a problem related to using After Effects CC 2017 and earlier with the Dell P2715Q monitor. If you have this monitor, we would like more information from you.
The problem that we are tracking is that when the MST (Multi-Stream Transport) option is enabled on this monitor, playback of fully cached previews in After Effects are not able to achieve real-time.
When MST is disabled via the on-screen display menu on the monitor, the problem will go away and After Effects can achieve real-time playback of fully cached previews. To disable MST, open the monitor's on-screen display menu, go to the Display category, and set MST to Off.
If you have this monitor, we would like to know:
- Are you experiencing this problem?
- Is MST enabled?
- What specific version of After Effects are you using? (e.g, 14.1.057. Choose Help > About on Windows, or After Effects > About on macOS.)
- What OS are you using?
- What model of video card and drivers are installed?
Additionally, if you are experiencing this playback problem on any other monitor and disabling the MST feature resolves the problem, we would like to know the same details as above, and the model of your monitor.
Thanks!

Search for an effect within a project in order to reveal the layer it is on?
I've got a rather large project, literally thousands of layers and multiple projects that have been imported into one large single master project.
Within that project I have an instance of trapcode's particular and star glow somewhere that I am no longer using and would like to locate and remove completely from the project.
Is there a way to locate via a search option the effect or plugin I am looking for so I can locate the layer within the comp and turn it off? I don't think there is a way natively in AE ? I have heard of scripts or plugins that can do this.
thank you

Unbearable preview lag
I'm sorry this is another 'preview lag' post, but it's frustrating me to no end.
I have a brand new MSI Vortex with the below specs and I'm experiencing such bad preview lag, that everything is slow motion. It's so bad that I can't even put together simple comps with some 1080p clips.
- Dell P2715Q, MST turned OFF. (This is NOT the issue as I used another monitor and it was still lagging)
- I am using the newest version of AE (14.2)
- Windows 10 Enterprise
- i7-6700k
- Geforce 1070
- 32 GB DDR4
- Cache on my SSD, project on another drive
I swear I have tried EVERYTHING and it is still not working properly. I have tons of footage to go through and piece together, but not being able to preview is insanely frustrating.

Cannot change duration of still images
I cannot get still images I import into AE to be longer than 5 frames. This is the first time I have encountered this problem and have made about 10 videos using this same method.
My composition duration is 1:45 minutes:
My import settings say import still images to a specific length. (I have also tried importing to composition length and still get the problem.)
I want to import an illustrator file as a composition so that I can animate the layers separately. (I have also tried importing as footage and still get the problem.)
The composition and composition layers are all 5 frames long. I cannot edit the duration:
I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling AE. I am using MacOS Sierra 10.12.5. Is there a compatibility issue?
I tried right clicking the layer in the timeline and selecting time > new duration, but it gives me color bars instead of the image. (I even tried render and exporting.)
I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling AE.

File permissions for project files set to 'No Access' for Everyone group in CC 2017 (14.2)
I have noticed that when saving projects using AE 2017 (14.2.0.198) and OS X 10.11.6, the project file permissions get set to -rw-rw----, so only my current user and anybody in the 'staff' group have read/write permissions, while anybody else gets no access.
In AE CC 2015.3, the default file permissions are set to -rw-rw-rw-. In Photoshop CC 2017.1, the default file permissions are set to -rw-r--r--@. This is also the same permissions that OS X's TextEdit application uses. AE CC 2014.2 has the same minus the @ symbol (so no extended attributes).
I am currently signed in as an Administrator user. The fact that default permissions have changed between versions isn't that big a deal, but the current permissions actually do matter to me - I need network users to access these project files, and currently I have to save my project and manually change permissions afterwards in order for that to work.
A bug report has already been filed since I didn't know how else to frame it. Does anybody know if default permissions can be edited, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

AE Timewarp takes very long time to render
As the title already says, I am using Timewarp to make a looped video (via expression) faster to music. When I activate Timewarp, it takes really long to render in quarter resolution.
Do you have any tips for me? I am using AE over 1 year now.

After Effects CC 2017 Image Sequence Preview Problem
Importing Jpeg Sequence in After Effects CC 2017, by default the resolution is 5472 * 3078 but AE CC 2017 not previewing it properly unless i manually assign the resolution to 1920 * 1080.It's something like this, photos are over one another. I want to render all my timelapses & hyperlapses in 4K, but this problem is with every footage. Unless i assign Comp setting to 1920 * 1080, then the preview is fine. Rendering out this sequence to any given resolution is PERFECT, the problem is with the Preview only. HELP

After Effects Won't Launch
I downloaded a Creative Cloud Trial. Ready to begin using AE CC2014 it wouldn't launch on my PC that meets all specs. I restarted my computer, contacted support to which I lent my computer screen to who after doing several things I'd already done told me the file was corrupted and that I should uninstall and reinstall and restart my computer. I took the time to do that --again, and it still won't launch...any help here for getting it to launch. When I click on AE, it simply spins for about 4 seconds then stops. HELP!

Reduce project in Collect files seems redundant when collecting files for all comps or selected comps
The AE guide says
Reduce Project
Removes all unused footage items and compositions from the collected files when the following options are chosen in the Collect Source Files menu: For All Comps, For Selected Comps, and For Queued Comps.
For Selected Comps
Collects all footage files and proxies used in compositions currently selected in the Project panel.
I assume selecting "For Selected Comps" will collect only the footage files and proxies used in the selection composition as the guide says.
Then what is the point of having Reduce Project selectable when choosing "For Selected Comps" since selecting "For selected Comps" itself will be enough to only collect the files used by the selected comp?

360 Video, 3D Particles, and C4D
I know basic 3D modeling and am trying to create a basic sphere with a white material on it in Cinema 4D, then bring it into After Effects where I have two particle systems on top of a monoscopic 360 video. The particle systems are following a ring shape and going opposite directions. I'd like to make the particles 3D by choosing a Textured Particle Type, then using the 3D C4D layer as the Texture Layer...is this possible?
As soon as I save the C4D file and go back to AE, the 3D C4D sphere shows up with the grid and nothing in my AE comp will play I'm using Adobe CC 2017 and have a brand new laptop with an Intel i7, Nvidia 930MX, 16GB of ram, and a 1TB hard drive. I also build VR experiences with Unity and my computer runs just fine with Unity and Blender running at the same time. I've been trying to problem solve this for a few weeks and would really appreciate some help from all the AE/C4D ninjas out there!

Row of text animation (y position gap for underlying layers) expression
Hi guys
So I´m creating cooking videos and want to present ingredients through animation (simple position x animation). Each ingredient on its own row. Animation of each row to start slightly after the previous one.
The animation will be saved as an Essential Graphics animation in my library for reuse in PP. The number of ingredients will vary of course. And, the gap between the rows could vary depending on the total amount of ingredients on each recipe and the font size chosen for each recipe.
That´s the background sort of. Anyone with an expression tip on foremost the y positioning?
Thanks!
