New in After Effects 13.8.1 - with audio shape layers!

I just wanted to share a little funny bug. the shape layer has no audio effect applied, and he still has an audio setting. It don't bother me much, although the last thing I need when I'm manipulating shape layers is another rocking to watch in the timeline panel

Here are the steps to reproduce the problem in my current workstation:

1 import audio into your composition - in my example, it was the WAV format. but you can add a solid layer with audio tone effect.

2. put within a publication

3 pre model the master model (no matter if it's a holiday attributes or move attributes) and get inside the demo

4. Add a shape layer

Here is my current workstation card:

This happens once I reset my preferences. Please share if you encounter this bug too.

Roei, thank YOU.

We have received reports from several users on another problem, which we have not been able to reproduce: by clicking on the layer switches (solo, lock, motion blur, etc.) sometimes unnecessarily vortices open the properties of a layer.

It turns out that this problem is related to what you just posted on the redundant audio properties. The problem of the twirling property only occurs on these same layers.

The bug occurs when you work in a model that has been composed before and this model contains a layer with audio, when you add a new layer to this model (any type of layer except the cameras or lights), if this layer should not have audio it will win the audio properties in any case. When you click on a layer switch (for example, solo, lock, a blur of movement, etc.) these layers with redundant audio properties will be automatically twirl open their properties.

This bug started After Effects 13.8.0. There are still in 13.8.1. I have described it in our bugs database and ask so that it can be fixed in our next release.

The twirling of the property problem can't for layers that have real audio. for example, with audio images, or a solid with the effect of the tone. This does not happen for the layers without audio created before the bug conditions occur (computer pre composed containing a layer with audio).

I found a few solutions workaround for this problem.

The simplest solution is to add the effect of audio signal to the affected layers and then disable audio (the switch icon small speaker) for these layers. The problem only occurs on the layers that have no audio, so the addition and then cut audio takes layers on the bad state.

There is another, more cumbersome workaround that effectively eliminates the redundant audio properties:

  1. In the model problem, select all the layers having audio.
  2. Remove (temporarily, it gets canceled at step 5) these layers.
  3. Select all the remaining layers (or at least those with the redundant audio properties).
  4. Activate a switch layer for all selected layers, such as Solo or lock. Redundant audio properties will disappear.
  5. Cancel twice: once to cancel the toggling the layer switch and a 2nd time to undo the deletion of step 2.

Redundant audio properties won't return after the cancellation. Unfortunately, this only solves the problem for existing layers. Adding new layers will still get the attached redundant audio properties.

In any case, my thanks to you once again, Yang, to post the steps to repro the problem. That's the key for me to discover the cause of the problem, much more annoying.

  • After Effects does not let me merge shape layers?

    I got after effects cs6. I'm working on the construction of a somewhat complex shape, made of 5 shapes with the pen tool and I wanted to merge together. but it is not letting me. I looked at the documentation and it says: all you need to do is select the forms you want to merge and Ctrl + G or layer > Group shapes. Doesn't work for me, though. Group shapes is grayed out in the menu.

    It's pretty frustrating for me cause I spent a bit of time, making this shape. I hope I'm missing something simple... just if I wanted from the known, that he was going to be it's boring I would of just made the shape in illustrator.

    Thanks for the help

    You have all your forms in a separate shape layer.

    Copy and paste all the paths in the form of a unique shape layers.

    Then in a single shape layer select all the paths and make your group.

  • New version after effects now have a very poor delay with render preview

    Last year only preview rendering After Effects ' seems to have been much worse.

    When I visited a working space, there is a 22 frame delay before the picture becomes visible. Playing audio but the picture is frozen and no shortage on the beginning of the preview.

    You must wait until it passes at the end to watch the start.

    Why is this happening? It was something that worked perfectly for years and now does not work.

    Is there a way to solve this problem on my side or flat?

    AE CC 2014

    It is a known issue with Yosemite on all the versions of AE. Even if you try with CS6, you will still see this problem. If you are using a different operating system, you will not have this problem. It is a problem to Apple; they changed stuff in Yosemite. I'm sure they had their reasons. Until Apple releases a fix (if they ever will be), you're pretty stuck if you can not go back to the Mavericks.

    However, Adobe has a fix in the works. The problem is that the fix is to completely rewrite the code from the heart of EI. According to the people at Adobe, the updated version of the AE with the new preview is supposed to go out to the 'spring '. So everyone on Yosemite will have to argue politely ask Apple to fix the problem or wait until the update of EI. Frustrating, I know.

  • Maintain performance when you work with several shape layers (~ 50)

    Hey guys, I worked on a few recent projects where I need to animate a large number of shape layers cascading, adorning it, with different properties of the animation. When I arrived at the point of use of 30-60 shape layers or more, and they all sort of scale, position, animations etc, my computer slows down to a complete analysis. Then forces me to use a single shape layer and Repeater functions. These can work well, sometimes and not cripple the flexibility too, UNTIL you need to incorporate various colors. At this point, I usually spend my shape layers to masks and place a layer underneath with different colors according to the needs. Animations of form then show these colors, but it does not work for a complex object, which, in itself, requires a lot of colors. so...

    What type of workflow you all to work with more complex semi both objects? I say to myself that I must be missing something, because it's become really limit. Everyone works only with 256 GB of memory RAM?

    FYI, my computer specs are:


    6 core Intel Xeon 2 x 2.66 GHz

    32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC

    ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB

    OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)


    Thank you!!

    Motorhomes can accelerate your insights if you use the disk cache, but there will be nothing to expedite your first ram preview or a ram preview after a keyframe to change except a better optimized system. All that it takes to slow things down is an effect or film file that causes the AE to begin to use the power of CPU and memory.

    As test I just created a gradient filled rectangle, added keyframes rotation, duplicate the layer so I have 64 copies on my Mac Mini and tried a preview ram from the same model with 1 single layer. Almost no difference in time it took to get an overview of 10 seconds. Thrown into a processing of scale for all layers and once again, not a lot of difference between the layer shape and 64. To make things much more difficult, I change the rectangle a polygon and animated everything in the transform properties starter, put in place a composition with 128 duplicates and a model with a single layer. 2.5 seconds for a ram in the quarter preview ground for a single layer, 10 seconds for a RAM Preview to 128 layers. It is more than acceptable for me for an old Mac Mini for two years with 16 GB of ram. Increase in the factor of 50% zoom with resolution set to Auto double the ram preview duration that was still acceptable.

    This makes me wonder what is happening in your composition. All the effects or other things going on? You have optimized your system for maximum performance? There are links with suggestions to do throughout this site as well as the recommendations of Adobe available here: after effects performance optimization

  • If you buy After Effects media encoder come with her?

    It come with consequences?

    Yes.  It comes with AE and Premiere Pro.

  • First substitute After Effect changed the composition with the previous edition.

    It is a strange...

    I select a clip in the first and choose rendered in AE. I then edit, save the file in AE, AE nearby, date back to the creation and the version change is sitting pretty, no problems so far. I save the file in the first, which, in my experience, is the light of the foregoing, all must task and move on to the next item. I'm doing the same procedure... change in AE, open AE, make changes, save, go back to the first and there is the new replacement, no problem... except... the first clip I edited at AE was replaced by the other. I have therefore 2 identical compositions of AE where I have 2 different ones. Moreover, when I left first and open the first AE publication independently in AE it too has changed in the second composition, EVEN IF it has been registered in a separate file. I can understand sort of what happens, but how to avoid this happen and what happens to the first composition I saved?

    I trash your preferences and try again.  http://blogs.Adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html

    In addition, when you make your second model, make sure that your first AE project (including the model) is open.

    Hope this helps,
