I do some pretty simplistic AE stuff for work. I used to never run into any issues, but after either my most recent Windows update, Adobe update, graphics card update, or combination thereof, I keep getting error messages like this:

Unable to allocate 1.981 MB of memory

Maybe I'm wrong, but 1.981MB doesn't seem like much? Why would this be an issue?

I noticed my AE settings all defaulted. I moved my disk cache/media cache to be on my D drive instead of C, which it used to be. I thought that would fix things, but I still get memory alerts. I empty the disk cache before rendering. Maximum Disk Cache Size is 95GB, I have 32 RAM and 3GB reserved for other applications. 'Enable Multi-Frame Rendering' is not currently selected. D drive has nearly 3TB free, C drive has 474GB free.

Projects I was working on only a few days ago with no problem are now giving me errors like this. I'm just baffled as to why. So far, I've been able to simplify things enough to get it to finally render, but this feels untenable. Is there something else I should try? Should I revert back to an earlier version of AE?

Thanks for any guidance.

If you're trying to add basic text effects to text on a text layer in Premiere Pro like the typewriter effect, is it worth it to render the clip as an AE project or is it better to just do it inside Premiere Pro without AE? For example, I was struggling to add the typewriter effect from AE to multiple clips in Premiere Pro. I could add it to one, but then got stuck. Is it worth learning AE if all I really need to do is add text effects or is it better to just focus on the available in Premiere Pro? Most software comes pretty intuitively to me, but I struggle learning After Effects.

I also ticked the cuda thing in the project settings, still no chnage. It's after effects 2023 version.

So basically, when I film a video and do the editing in ae (speed ramps effects etc) it makes the video highlights seem high and corrects it itself even tho the actual clip doesn’t look like that. I don’t add any lumetri colour effect either. Then when I export to premiere through a dynamic link it looks really bad even tho I haven’t colour graded it yet.

When I import that same clip to premiere with no ae editing it’s completely fine. Is there any fix to this?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE! I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR FUCKING DAYS AND MY PATIENCE IS FUCKING GONE!

I TRIED CHANGING THE VIDEO FORMAT, I TRIED MEDIA ENCODER, I TRIED EVERYTHING!

IT USED TO WORK PERFECTELY FINE JUST USING THE RENDER QUEUE BUT NOW IT JUST GETS STUCK BETWEEN 10% AND 16%

HERE'S THE STUPID FUCKING PROJECT FILE INCASE ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE A LOOK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EXE5VCiWrnXZP7bMo5TImQAcCwzaYyfc/view?usp=sharing

Hello guys. Could you help? Im trying to install FX console but I'm facing this issue? How can I fix it?

I'm trying to build an animated visualisation like this. 4 kinds of icons, distributed inside a shape. The amount of each type of icon is linked to a percentage, totalling 100% when added together. So if the data said 100% red stars - all the shapes would be red stars. The actual position of each icon doesn't matter, it's not geographic.

Distributing the icons within the bounds of the black shape is easy enough - I think I could use Pastiche (Motion Boutique) for that. The black shape won't change during the animation.

The bit I'm struggling with is that I need the percentage data to be linked to sliders, so that it can remain editable, and so that the graph will animate from one set of percentages to another.

For example, going from:
Red: 25%
Yellow: 25%
Blue: 25%
Green: 25%

to:
Red: 60%
Yellow: 10%
Blue: 20%
Green: 10%

And have the visual update accordingly.

The icons themselves also need to be comps, so they can use custom graphics.

Is this even possible? Would really appreciate any thoughts!

I have a scene where I move the camera, but when I want to add an object with element 3d, it doesn't appear, what can I do? thanks

Hi,

Am I the only one experiencing a really slow 3D Camera Track in AE 25(.1)? I tested tracking a 20s 4K footage in AE 24, which took 2 minutes, while AE 25 takes 13 minutes…

Hello. I tried to apply some transition presets (glitches, and brushes) from videohive, not on footages, but on shapes. But the transitions still behaved as if i was trying to apply them on footages. They worked, but by affecting the composition itself instead of just the shapes directly. Did i do something wrong? Or is it possible to do so?

Hey everyone, I need to create this effect for a project—what technique would you use? I tried using Fractal Noise in After Effects, tweaking it until the lines looked like bright, glowing strands, and that got me close to the look I wanted. However, doing it in AE doesn’t give me 3D control, which means I can’t track it in a scene or have it move around in a true 3D space. I also considered Trapcode Particular, but I don’t think it’s the best option because I need the lines to be in constant motion, as if they’re continuously flowing at high speed. With Particular, the line seems to form and just stay there, rather than constantly running or evolving in real time. My second attempt was in Cinema 4D, but I struggled to create a material that produced the same glow and luminosity. How would you go about achieving this effect?

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to using Cinema 4D Cryptomattes and it seems like they can have a big halo around them, making them kind of unusable in this state. I am using quite low settings right now to just render out Cryptomattes afterwards and maybe that's the sole reason these come out looking like this, but maybe something knows if I can somehow decrese/increase the mattes a bit in After Effects?

Hello folks, am looking to create something like this, just static 3d figures and camera movement, Where can I find free low poly figures and characters like this ??

I've been using this expression for years and never had issues until recently.
I can fix it by giving it what it wants... but it's annoying since it should only be checking the last line for that value anyway (Scale needs 2 values: width and height).

This rewrite makes that error go away

Anyone experiencing new behavior when writing AE expressions?

UPDATE: Here's the offending expression:

minVal = 0;

maxVal = 50;
freq = 0.2; // oscillations per second
avgVal = (minVal + maxVal)/2;
amp = (maxVal - minVal)/2;
var d = avgVal + amp*(Math.sin(time*freq*Math.PI*2));
[d,d]
