Hi there,
Since my colleagues and I have updated to CC 2019, our AE project (that contains text) imported in Premiere is broken. Not completely, we can still edit the text but Premiere changes the font. Anybody as the same issue ?
Thanks y'all,
Valentin
so I'm trying to rotoscope a clip and all that it's selecting is what the red line is here's a screenshot...
and when I try to deselect this happens
any thoughts?
I'm working on a gift for a friend and I've run into a problem recreating the effect of the smoke flowing out of the cylinders in this screenshot (ignore the embers and surrounding smoke): https://gyazo.com/758d889a4fcb4a47b6ceffa0a8aceeb1
I have access to Particular but I'm a beginner with it. I've used motion pathing to emulate the shape as here:
Screen capture - 24c8e2b472d966012f907b4313d4f32b - Gyazo
...but it obviously isn't close. I haven't been able to recreate those small distortions in the smoke, and I haven't found any tutorials that could help me. I've also tried looking for suitable stock effects, but I couldn't find anything exact.
I've thought of either using multiple Particular emitters or using a displacement map to simulate the movement of the smoke based on the original image, but neither of those attempts has been successful either. If someone with more experience with Particular could guide me toward recreating the effect (or if luck permits tell me how to recreate it exactly) I'd greatly appreciate it
Since either the last windows or after effects update (I did them in quick succession) after effects repeatedly crashes in progress or on start, prompting (before crashing) "After Effects warning: The font dictionary can't be read [...] (83 § 4)".
Premiere does not crash, but warns about a set of invalid fonts.
No other application mentions or has any problems with those fonts.
I used all of those fonts for YEARS without problems. If I deactivate the affected ones, everything works fine, but this is just not an option.
I cleared all the AdobeFnt.lst files. This works only temporary. I reinstalled After Effects and the Monotype Fontexplorer Pro. I reinstalled the fonts. The error returns.
AE completely crashes, even takes windows with it at times.
After clearing the AdobeFnt.Lst files and emptying the font cache, it works for a time (even with the mentioned fonts activated), then it complains and crashes again.
AE Version is 14.2.1.34
Windows Version is Win 10 Pro (all updates installed)
It's a i7-6800k Intel PC with 48 GB Ram and a GTX 970. All drivers are up to date.
Any ideas?
After the latest update for CC 2018, After Effects nor Premier will import several QT files. I receive "After Effects Error:Source file has no importable streams" I have a couple of workstations I haven't updated yet and they don't have an issue. What's the fix for this for the current update?
Hi every one. I want to make data-driven after effects project (.aep) file that the data are stored in json file. so that i can change the data in the json and the .aep get updated wuth new data. so far i made this with mamoworld plugin.
now i have a data-driven aep with json. if i open the project in the AE, every thing is good an if i make a change in the json, the opened project in the AE get updated.
the problem is that i want to render the project with aerender. when i use aerender, the aep in NOT getting updated data from json and get rendered with the initial data(the data that inserted in the project while in was built.).
sorry for bad english. it's not my primary language.
here is my aerender code:
aerender -project D:/latest/new/pr1.aep -comp "Comp1" -output D:/latest/new/video.avi
is there any thing that i missing? or some thing i'm doing wrong?
any guide or reference or anything that helps will be great.
Just opened the software to know the entire files went missing. Need a solution to recover the files asap..
Hello,
I am an animation student who is fairly novice with AE. I have come across many artist using Joysticks n Sliders to create wonders with it and I wasn't too sure how to get my hands on that. I found a website with 100's of plugins for AE which leads me too ask (1) is Joysticks N sliders already included in AE or must one purchase it via a plugin? (2) If so, what is a trusted marketplace for such adobe plugins? and (3) Are there any other plugins like it that can help improve character animation?
Thanks, any help is appreciated!
Please don't respond if your going to disrespectfully address my lack of knowledge to the software, just looking for honest help.
Hey,
Before the 2019 update for After Effects, my expression for a countdown clock was working a treat. Now the If else statement seems to have had a definition change and I can't seem to find where the issue is. Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening?
Here is the original expression:
rate = -1;
clockStart = 899.97;
function padZero(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return n;
}
clockTime = Math.max(clockStart + rate*(time - inPoint),0);
t = Math.floor(clockTime);
min = Math.floor((t%3600)/60);
sec = Math.floor(t%60);
msec = clockTime.toFixed(2).substr(-2);
padZero(min) + ":" + padZero(sec) + ":" + msec;
Thanks
I just published this tutorial about a very powerful compositing workflow using the mocha plugin that is bundled with Ae CC 2019 and our extension MochaImport+ V6:
In this tutorial we use a stabilized precomp to manipulate the facade of a building: We add additional windows and even an oriel in just five minutes - even though the shot has a moving camera.
If you have any questions about this workflow, feel free to ask them here :-)
Hello,
I have some trouble with the latest Adobe Versions.
I start the Software, as soon as it is loaded, the start screen shows black.
I can skip the screen when I select File-new-Project, then I can work normally with the Software, although not with Photoshop.
I guess it is my GPU ( Nvidia Quadro M3000).
In the Photoshop Preferences I disselected the GPU.-Still the same Problem.
The GPU Driver is updated.
Thanks for help

I am trying to render in multimachine, an H.265 codec. When i import the watchfolder, a pop-up message says that i need to sign in to CC.
I have the codec install on the machine, and the Node text placed to the right folder.
How can i fix this problem?
Thank you.
Hello
On the Adobe site it mentions 2 ways of importing a CA scene into Ae. The first way is to simply drag the CA scene onto the Ae project window. This gives the error message: Failed to connect to Adobe Dynamic Link project (86::1).The second way is to choose File - import file. This results in the error message: The project could not be opened. A Youtube video from 2016 (I am using cc2019) recommends choosing Export - PNG sequence and WAV and saving it. All the PNGs are then listed plus the WAV file. However, when in Ae I choose Smart Import.jsx and drag it down to form a comp, only the visuals are on display and the WAV Is absent. If someone could please explain why this is happening I would be very grateful.
Thanks

The Crash occurs after the splash screen. I get messages about offending items in the script startup folder. When I remove those items it runs down the line from one to the other until I get a "can not produce timestamp" error. Then it says illegal command sequence and crashes. Occasionally, when I remove these items AE will start successfully and I am able to work. A couple of times it's worked with no intervention as well.
I've checked for updates, rebooted, and removed offending files before launching.

Hi every one. I want to make a website to edit the after effect projects (.aep) files and then render them to make online videos.
the scenario is :
1- i make some editable aep files and put them into the server in a website
2- users get online and put their data into inputs in website (text, logo and etc.)
3- the server must gets the data from user and update the aep files with new data from user
4- server renders the data with aerender to make video outputs for user.
and the AE must be installed on the server.
Are these steps right? can i edit/update aep files with new data with EXTENDSCRIPT?
I want to make something like renderforest.comwebsite.
another question is how can i make editale aep files?
any approach or help or startpoint or anything will be great.
thanks.
I have read a hundred different versions of this thread, and I still am having issues with my output file. Here is what I have tried:
I am at the end of my rope, here. Someone please help!
Hi There,
Would it be easy to import or share or copy/cut a shape layer (with its effects) from a AE project to an other one ?
Thanks !
So, I've been struggling with this issue for many hours now. I've been trying to use the 3D Camera Tracker on a couple video files (mpeg and mp4), and have been getting the "After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server. (515) ( 25 :: 101 )".
I've already tried adjusting fire wall settings (including disabling it all together). Twice a full uninstal and reinstal, using Adobe cleaner for the second go around. a reinstal of updates.... The problem persists.
I'm using Windows 7, and I know I have ample hardware resorces.
Could there be an issue with have Cs5.5 instaled as well?
Are there files that should be moved or a patch I could download?
Tired of pulling my hair out over it, any suggestions?
