Re: After Effects Stuck Off Screen

I was having the same issue then figured it out! If you can see the side of the window and hover over it a horizontal arrow appears to change the width of the window. But if you click and hold Command while clicking the edge, it will allow you to move the window down! Hope that helps!

In the Preferences > General you'll see "synchronize time of related items". Make sure that's on.

 

In your pre-comp put the playhead at the time you require for your marker. Now return to the downstream comp. The playhead will be in the correct location. Add the marker there.

I can get to the correct position in the timeline, but how do I add the marker so that I can move things around without losing it?

Re: Marking a Layer

There are two types of markers - added through the same command. If you don't have a layer selected and you add a marker you'll get a 'composition marker' - one that sits on the work area bar at the top of the timeline. If you have a layer - or nested comp - selected when adding a marker you'll get a 'layer marker'. This is related to the layer and will stay in the same position relative to the layer as you move the layer in the timeline.

If you want to add a layer marker then move the CTI* to the correct point in the timeline, make sure the layer is selected, then use the Layer>Markers>Add Marker or the keyboard shortcut control + 8 or a Mac or the windows equivalent. The shortcut is called out in the Menu to the far right of the operation.

 

All of this is in the User Guide (Search Help in the top right corner of AE)

Re: Can't find mocha Export Data menu

The screenshot looks like you have the latest version of AE and are using the Classic layout. The data export or copy to clipboard functions have been changed. You should have looked at the tutorials that were offered when you first launched Mocha AE. You can either start over or choose tutorials from the Mocha AE help menu and look at the tutorial that explains the new features.

 

Also, make sure you vet your trainers. Most folks posing tutorials on YouTube right now are amateurs that don't really know what they are doing. They will often lead you down a rabbit hole filled with inefficient workflows and bad advice.

Re: Exporting a composition from a project for reuse in other projects

It seems to be pulling out all .ai files and audio files being used in the project even if they are not being used in the composition that is being exported.

 


Re: CC 2018 Freezes and stuck on project opening (need urgent help)

Hello,

 

i'm having the same issue. I've worked on a project for the past couple of days, kept saving it. Today I closed AE and re opened it, but when trying to open the project, it would load to 97% and then crash the app.

 

IT came and tried all kinds of solutions (on/off computer, remove links to media, correct permission, etc etc) but nothing has worked.

 

Also all my auto-saved versions look like they have the same corruption.

 

Can anyone help? maybe take the project and see if they can open it and save it to a different version as in the "solution" posted above?

 

Thanks!

Did you check the box that says:

I just tried it on this comp and here's what files I got:

Screenshot_2018-11-20 14.42.26_k3uyGD.png

As you can see the Hidden Falls Trail JPG is the only file collected. If I had not selected the Reduce Project option I would have had all of the other files in the footage folder.

 

I just realized that the screenshot shows the wrong selected comp but the Hiden Falls comp is the one selected and this is what the project looks like when opened up:

From the crash report, it appears that the crash is happening within the Blackmagic DeckLink drivers. What I'd try is:

 

- Make sure you are up-to-date on the Blackmagic software.

 

- If that doesn't help, then I would uninstall the Blackmagic software entirely. If that fixes the problem then at least you know where the problem lies. Once pinned down you can try Adobe support, or try BMD support.

 

Please let us know how this goes.

Make a new project.  Import the problem project into it.  See if that works.

Simple renders fail/out of memory

0
0

Hello AE community,

 

I've been having this problem with memory that I have never had before in AE. I made a project that's about 2 minutes long, and all it contains is audio and icons moving across the screen. Probably the most intense thing I have going on in this project is motion blur. I keep getting a number of errors such as the "unspecified drawing error", "After Effects out of memory", and my renders consistently fail. I've tried rendering in Media Encoder and my renders still fail. Sometimes AE will crash when doing previews even when I delete memory and disk cache frequently. My RAM will spike to 100% usage (what seems like) randomly. I'm running 16 gigs of RAM and my disk drives have plenty of space on them, so I don't see how AE is running out of memory on such a simple project. This issue happens across the board on several of my projects that are similar in structure and concept.

 

Is it a graphics card issue? Because after doing some research trying to figure this problem out I found that my graphics card isn't compatible with AE CC. Any guidance in this subject would be greatly appreciated.

 

(And yes, I have updated all of my drives)

Trash your preferences files and restart

If this doesn't solve the issue uninstall AE with Adobe CC Cleaner Tool and make sure you allow it to delete preferences

Reinstall AE

 

Let me know if this works for you

Hello,

 

Does it work well if you change the setting of Video Rendering and Effects on Project Settings (File > Project Settings) from your current choice to something else?

Yeah, I've tried switching between the mercury software and mercury GPU settings, but that doesn't seem to change anything.

Re: Mac Pinch Zoom in AfterEffects

I can't believe nobody made it up to you since all this time !

I just updated AE and is in a struggle just like you are my friend (MacOS10.13) ...

what a pain to witness such nonsense.

 

Come on Adobe, even Final cut Pro X has that feature...!!

 

There's no reasonable explanation about this, it is a great time saver for MBP users to pinch in and out through the timeline and not giving any explanations about taking this feature away is not understandable... And pretty much scandalous, I agree.

 

I might downgrade my CC to an older version now...like a back to the past kinda move so I still can use that feature....Great.....

 

These are great times for autocracy.
