I am a template creator. My customers who are using Macs cannot open my After Effect projects that use jpg-sequences. I received the error from 3 customers and one colleague who has access to a mac did confirm it to me. JPG sequences cannot be opened on AE 18.2 on a Mac. On windows, it works fine.

The error message is
After Effects Error: the file format module could not parse the file (45 :: 36)

Please fix this bug asap.

With the latest version (17.1.3) the rotation tool freaks out when using it for the layer transform rotation. Somehow it does work fine for parametic shapes. Just by dragging a little bit, it rotates like 2000 times.

Weird bug where when using the pen tool, if the footage panel is open, passing over it freezes then crashes AE. Submitted the crash report and posting here in hopes it can be duplicated and fixed.

When double clicking a keyframe in the timeline the keyframe properties do not open, only the keyframe is selected. You need to manually right click and edit the keyframe to change values.

This issue only started when updating to AE Version 17.1.3 (Build 41) on Windows 10.

Starting with version 17.7, AE (and Premiere) fails to open any .hdr file with error message: "After Effects error: Couldn't find main entry point for Radiance.8BI (48::72)" and "After Effects error: unbalanced unprep. (48:30)".

This bug is not present in 17.6, nor in the latest beta. When persisting with version 17.7, one workaround is to use Photoshop to convert the HDR file to an EXR, which does work properly.

When working with multiple viewers, one of which is locked in order to view that precomp, it would be great to have an option to not have the time linked between the locked viewer and the main comp viewer. I have a precomp that is 2 seconds long. It starts about 3 seconds into my main comp. When scrubbing to 0:03 in the main comp, the precomp viewer window goes blank, because the precomp doesn't have enough footage to show, because it's only 0:02 long.

Currently, there is no way to get the Layer's Duration, Stretch, and outTime values ​​in an expression.
I want you to add this method to Expression.

Regardless of the tool used, holding the Alt key switches to the camera tool.

Hoping this is a mistake - it makes zooming out (z, Alt-Click) or adjusting vector bezier curves (G, Alt-click) frustrating without the shortcuts.

After updating to 17.1.4 everything in Master Properties on the timeline is now displaying as the property type (i.e. "Slider" or "Checkbox") instead of the correct name.

macOS Catalina 10.15.6

update: renaming the property in Essential Graphics will rename the property on the timeline (at least temporarily). However, when duplicating the layer, the duplicate will revert to displaying the property type.

When I open my After Effects this morning, and every time when i opened it would crash and give me an error message wrote some issues with Joystick N Slider script. It would work when I delete the script from Ae. Please check this out because this script is quite important for animators and motion designers who use Ae for everyday working. Thanks

After Effects crashes unexpectedly after applying key cleaner weather you use Keylight or color range without a message or warning.

I can't double click and edit key frames anymore.

Just tried the new draft 3d and ground plane and I am getting this on my viewport (see the following image). It seems like there is no refresh on the viewport.

hi please add right to left writing for middle eastern country please
its really an important option and reduce your product popularity
all other adobe apps has it

1. Export ProRes DNxHR RGB 444 12 bit with no Alpha, but "premuliplied" setting
2. Import the Rendering back into AE.
3. Playback reports error. Video is black.

Workaround: Set the output alpha to "straight" even though there is no alpha channel.
