  • Fixing an After Efects Glitch

    Hello,

    I am working on an After Effects project, and I am using the Card Wipe transition effect to move between two sets of text.
    When the initial text spins as it should with the card wipe, the Back Layer has a glitch where the back layer will sporadically appear in the upper left corner of the composition before it appears in the position I want it too in the center if the composition.
    This has happened to me before but I improvised by covering it up with a mask. I don’t think that will work this time because the glitch is more apparent.

    How do I fix the glitch? Assuming there is a way.

    Thank you in advance.

    This is very likely a memory-related issue.

    Try a hard reboot and then render just that specific time. If that works, then render the other timeline areas separately and compile them in AE or PP.

    If that doesn’t work then try reducing the number of cards.

    I am having the same problem, were you able to find a fix?

    Thank you!

    could you just trim the back layer so that it does not start on the timeline until it actually shows up?

    Saw this issue discussed on Adobe forum:

    Pre-compose the text layer before applying Card Dance. Effects like this are sensitive to dynamicalyl rasterized layers such as text since the effect itself neesds to sampel the entire layer and that doesn’t work correctly based on the text bounding box.
