The issue is STILL HERE in 22.2.0! It's unbelievable. Please fix this immediately!
It doesnt happen now after double clicking on a project or so, instead it works fine for a while and then after a bit just stops to work. Only restarting AE will help.

Maybe one issue was fixed, but the underlying issue seems to persist.

I have that version ( 18.4.1 ) and have just experienced this issue.
Restarting AE seemed to do the trick for me.

22.0.0

Still there.

18.4.1 - bug still present

Genuinely getting to the end of my tether with some of these bugs you are introducing.

This is a basic function. I genuinely want to know how you broke this?

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. We NeEd MoRe FeAtUrEs. Stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime lol.

how is it not fixed yet????

How is this not fixed yet?

this work around only works for me when After effects feels like it. If it doesnt decide to work, I have to type ALL of my copy. Now I'm rushing because it takes me so much longer to do, and I am dyslexic and make so many mistakes. It is not only a pain in the a** to create in the first place, but I now also have 9 million amends to do.

But I also seem to have another bit to this bug.
When after affects does allow me to copy and paste my text in, it adds random hyphens through out all of the text.

and while I'm dealing with all of this, I have my other designers asking for help because theyre trying to work around bugs in all of your other programmes.

I honestly don't know how you have the nerve to charge so much for softwear that doesnt work.

AfterEffectsで外部ソフトウェアからのテキストコピペができなくなりました。改善して欲しいです。

This is insane. How is this not an immediate priority for a patch fix? This is literally crippling my workflow. Someone really needs to get off their ***** and make this a priority. The initial post goes back to July 22 and it's Aug 13 with no fix. Hey Adobe, users don't need new features. We need stability and a support culture that ACTUALLY cares about it's users.

Very unhappy with the number of bugs in Adobe Products. Need to fix the issues before rolling out new features.

same problem for me with lastest BIGSUR update.

Even launching a project from the "open recent" section of the file menu results in this behaviour for me. I feel for any ae users who work with text often but are dyslexic right now.

It is absolutely ridiculous that such an essential and basic functionality would be disabled or at the very least not properly tested before implementing. You have professionals depending on your software to work correctly on a daily basis. I shouldn't have to be constantly figuring out work arounds to use your products. Slow down with all the updates and make them ACTUALLY WORK. This is asinine beyond belief.

Same here with copy/paste clips from Premiere Pro on Mac. Reverted to 18.2.1 and works fine.

The AE team has identified how this is happening and are moving quickly to fix the issue.

If you launch AE by double-clicking on an AE Project, or by right-clicking on a Project file and open it with AE, pasting from the clipboard will be disabled.

For now, the workaround is simply to launch AE FIRST and then proceed to open whichever AE project you want to work with. Paste will then work correctly.

Thank you all for your reports here. Please try out the Beta in the coming days as that is where a fix will first become available.

AE sees my clipboard as I am able to paste text to the expression module of the layer but I can't paste text on the text layer itself since the last update.

I cannot paste from Ai to Ae. Running on Mac OS 11.4 Big Sur and running version 18.4. Could paste before update.

Same here. AE 18.4 running on Mac OS 11.5.

Same here! AE v18.4, Windows 10 v1809
