Error "After effects warnin: Unknown BIB Error. CT bad param. NULL font instance, BRV,0. " followed by a crash.

Happens on multiple machines, diagnosed by an adobe agent and found that the issue is in AE not anything else.

there are no fonts installed other than the windows fonts...

Adobe AE 2020 works fine ... middle eastern text engine is a little slow but does not crash.

If you happen to have one, After effects becomes a nightmare due to it's consistent crashing and abuse of memory.

Either properly support a 4600 driver at the expense of a few features (Trust me, any of us with one WON'T MIND) or allow for the GPU to pick up the slack. ANYTHING to keep AE stable.

Dont just tell people to go do a workaround for issues.
Fix the issues.

I reguralry spend a third of the time each day on the program's inability to perform.

Granted Our teachers are idiots making us do vfx compositing in a program thats made for

If you paste HTML code into a text box in AE (like copying and pasting the source code of a website), the interface freaks out and goes into a never-ending error alert loop. The text appears to render correctly on the canvas, but the timeline goes black, suggesting it's related to how AE sets the name of a text layer based on its contents

Expressions involving simple recursion such as layer(index - 1) can severely crash After Effects due to a lack of caching.

Anything involving previous layers, for example:
thisComp.layer(index - 1).effect("Slider Control")("Slider") + 1

When duplicated enough causes AE to crash.

With the ExtendScript engine, it usually causes a warning message.
With the JavaScript engine, it often crashes After Effects completely.

Here are some example projects for testing:

Crash_Example and Crash_Example_2 would likely run if previous expressions were cached, rather than re-evaluated every time.

Well well well the new update (18.2.0, build 37) bring to us a new and wonderful UNStability: when you try render any compsition in AME, AE crashout and the popup display appears:

"Last log message was:
<88200> <DynamicLink> <5> AME app path: /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2021/Adobe Media Encoder 2021.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Media Encoder 2021
.

Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."

The same happens when I try to create a AE compostion with any asset inside Premiere

Running in Imac 2019 with Catalina

When choosing any configuration other than 1 view in the composition viewer, I can only preview 1 or 2 frames of audio before it cuts out. Audio plays fine in the layer/footage panel.

Gaussian Blur (new GPU based one) has unexpected/poor results compared to the legacy one. Visual artifacts occur in 32-bit mode on adjustment layers, and in general it has a less natural, more blocky look than the traditional Gaussian Blur.

Can you please allow the full list of previous versions of all creative cloud apps for download for the past 2 years.

Allot of creative agencies use specific versions and upgrade infrequently to minimised software glitches that blow out deadlines and lead to loss of income.

I wanted to parent the position of a PNG to the Advanced Lightning effect’s “direction” of strike. However when I try to, I get an error saying that Advanced Lightning HAS no “direction” attribute. I used the pick whip to parent, dragging the PNG’s position to the “direction” in Advanced Lightning. I don’t know if this matters, but I’m using the “two way strike” preset.

MAC OS 10.15.7 (19H524)
No error messages.
But will not relink to PNG Files all grayed out.
work fine in 2020.

When using repeater within shape layer. The program suddenly freezes when you are using repeater more than 1 layer whereas After Effects 2019 has no issues.

Meaning it is not the problem with overload its simply a glitch.

Please fix this bug regarding repeater use in After Effects 2020 so people can use repeater continuously in 2020 version as well.

it's broken. can't use the menu at all. macOS big sur, latest AE, MacBook Pro 16 2019

Hi.

Anybody else noticed this?

Cannot use Roto Brush effect with UHD Prores 4444 material and colour management. Roto Brush crashes AE almost immediately.

macOS 10.15.7
GPU Radeon Pro Vega 48 8 GB

Metal GPU Acceleration.
Colour management on.
32-bit ACES AP1 working space with Arri Log C material.

When I turn colour management off, I can use Roto Brush.
Exciting to see what happens when I have to turn colour management back on when compositing 😬

It’s actually not my bug it I’ve been following this thread on Twitter, there’s an explanation there on why this is happening and how to replicate it.

BUG When adding a corner pin effect, or CC power pin, the handles for the corner pin don't show up. Also the null object doesn't show up either. When you toggle the hide mask button a bunch of times and re-add the corner pin it finally shows up.
