Have anything divided by zero, default to zero value instead of undefined.

In expressions when you divide by zero, it causes the expression to break. it would be cool if AE was smart enough to ignore this and just pretend that anything divided by zero had the value of zero. so we don't have to put if/then statements into our code to avoid this.

an example is if you are using expressions to keep the stroke of a shape layer constant as it scales. the expression looks somewhat like this.

stroke/scale/100

if scale is zero, it breaks, but if the scale of the layer is zero, you can't see it anyways and so having it automatically have a value of zero would be just fine.

Change my mind.

Is this where to do bug reports? Whatever, this is where I'm doing it.

Create an animation in a composition, somewhere in the middle. Create a protected region there. Also create a master property. In my case I added fill and added the color.

Now insert that into another composition. Hit play. Should work ok.
Now hit continuously rasterize.
You Should get an error that AE needs at least 2 frames to play back.

Honestly, this Sort of makes sense. I want to continously rasterize the vector graphics from there, but since I'm changing the color, it shouldn't work? It's a bug because it seems someone at Adobe forgot about someone trying to do that. Rather than throwing an unrelated error, it should say something more like, "you can't mix continously rasterize and ____ feature." I'm not sure which part of the features are breaking this.

AE CC 2019 v16.1.2 - Startup hangs for a long time on Initialize MediaCore Stage. This is caused by the Adobe Dynamic Link Manager CC 2019 Process taking a long time to initiate for some reason.

It works perfectly in AE CC 2018. v15.1.2 The Adobe Dynamic Link Manager CC 2018 Process loads up right away allowing the program to launch right away. No freezing or hanging on the Initialize MediaCore stage

If you rename the dynamiclinkmanager.exe file that is located in your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2019\Support Files to ex. "DynamicLInkManager_backup.exe". This will allow you to get past the initializing MediaCore stage and the program
launches. Unfortunately the dynamic link between AE and Media Encoder will not work now

Hope this helps you get to the bottom of this annoying bug

Thanks,
Jason

AE CC 2018, 15.1.2, Build 69
macOS 10.13.6 (17G5019)
iMac Pro, 18-core, 128GB RAM, Vega 64
100GB RAM Reserved for AE, 28GB for other apps.

I appear not to be the first to submit this bug. Memory leak appears when working on large compositions for long periods of time (~6-8 hours).

I'll hit a point where the system is acting sluggish and I try to exit the program softly, after saving. When AE closes, I receive the prompt, "After Effects Error String Memory Leak (83 :: 2)".

There was nothing helpful in console logs and this has happened across multiple projects within my up-to-date version of AE2018.

Thank you.

After updating to 16.1 After effects is unable to allocate memory. I have a 64GB RAM system, but After effects is unable to load frames more than 10 frames HD at quarter resolution, suggests getting more RAM...
Also, the update doesn't migrate the panel layout settings or revert to them when opening a existing project which was saved with the panel layout (which is kinda weird, AE has a tendency to rearrange the panel layout when opening a project for an other user to their layout (very frustrating...), but when you actually want this to happen (because for some strange reason saved panel layout are always lost when updating) it's not happening (very frustrating...).
Also when going back to the previous version all preferences are lost and the migrate button in the preferences does nothing (very frustrating...).
Also panels change size at random, I can't figure out why (very frustrating...).
Also, third party panels open extremely big (when open for the first time, or after an update, since the panel layout is then lost) and the top bar is positioned well above the MacOS menubar, outside the desktop. I have to rearrange my Display arrangement in the System settings (placing my second screen above the main screen instead of next to it) to be able to get to the top bar of the panel to move them back inside the main screen (very frustrating...)

Maybe... ehmmm... Question:
Do you guys still develop After Effects to support multi monitor setups on the Mac?
I really like my dual monitor setup, but maybe this is just not something that is actually supported anymore...
