bro, I've moved the FFX file to "User Preset" but why doesn't it still appear when I check in After Effects? By the way, I'm using the 2021 version of After Effects
@ShiveringCactusКүн бұрын
Hmm, see if you have any folders for previous versions of After Effects installed. I think around 2021 time I found it was pointing to my 2015 folder.

That stray light is doing nothing because the lighting in the scene looks non-existent. The reflection is the last thing wrong with this shot.
@ShiveringCactus6 күн бұрын
You didn't mention the auto-focus either. 😁 Neither of us were there for the filming, so my guess is it was required for close-ups and got forgotten about. That's often the problem with guerilla-style filming. Never enough time to plan out everything.

Lately my after effects has been freezing mid editing and usually I don’t notice, so I click the screen when it’s frozen. After I notice no effect is happening when I click, I click the screen a couple more times until it says “not responding” crashing my ae resetting all the progress I’ve done. And this didn’t happen just once, it happened multiple times lately leaving me frustrated.

So I found a solution for macbook users, it's actually not the same process as Window users unfortunately. The problem for Macbook users is their storage. (⚠️ Before you follow any of these steps make sure that you have saved your project file from aftereffects, so that you can go back to it later on. ⚠️) Then you will have to quit your file that froze at the end on media encoder, since you don't need it anymore. Then you need to go to your settings, then go to general, and click on storage. When you get there at the very top of your screen there should be a bar, it tells you what's taking up the most storage. In this case it was my Applications, but it could be completely different for you, and that's ok. All you need to do is go to what's contributing to your high storage the most, and delete the largest files that are taking up the most storage space. After you have done this, you can go back to your after effects file that I told you to save, and was trying to export in media encoder that froze, and put it back into media encoder to process. Not only will your video render faster, because you have reduced your storage, but it will be able to successfully export your video file from after effects. (🍀🍀Trust me, I already tried this, and it worked like a charm, so don't worry i'm not trying to sabotage you!!!!🍀🍀)

I have rtx 4060ti, 16gb, purchased an after effects template from envato elements. Sure it has a lot of effects and so beautiful template!! And then i render using adobe media encoder, and it turns out to be 12 hours rendering lmao. But it is a beautiful template oh well. Its a 1 minute template btw
@ShiveringCactus19 күн бұрын
That can often be the case with purchased templates. Either they are massive because all the elements have been rendered out as video or they are highly complex either to disguise how they are done or its the only way to achieve certain looks. Also not all effects in AE are optimised for GPU so that might contribute to the long render time.

I’m encountering an issue with exporting camera and empty animation data from Blender to After Effects. The camera exports as a one-node camera, and I can’t find any settings to export it as a two-node camera. When I use the exported camera and empty as track data for other 3D-aware plugins in After Effects, the results are incorrect. If I change the exported camera from one-node to two-node, all the empties go haywire. How can I resolve this problem? Is it because I use a camera rig in Blender to animate?

Unfortunately 8gb of RAM is the issue here. AE processes audio separately to video and that just isn’t enough. Until you can upgrade, you’ll need to use the audio preview and marker method to line up your animations, I think.
