I’m just curious to know what actually happens when After Effects converts an AI file to shapes? Also, how does AE determine the “first vertex” of the shape when converting AI files? I should note that I do have Overlord but sometimes I am working on projects on my university computer and I am unable to load extensions. I find myself working on…

Hey everyone I have a random issue. I will try to explain it the best I can. Whenever I import AI files and convert them to shapes the paths and path vertices are not displaying even when I have the option “Display Layer Controls” enabled. This only happens when I start a completely new project. When I import the AI files and convert them to…

This just started happening randomly at some point this year because I never had this issue before while working with After Effects until recently. AE becomes really laggy when editing the timeline, selecting keyframes with the marquee, selecting layers, moving keyframes, etc. When selecting multiple keyframes AE hangs for a few seconds and I get…

Are you still dealing with this issue? Or how did you resolve it? I am dealing with the exact same issue with After Effects 16.1.3 and it just randomly started happening too because I’ve been using version 16.1.3 on both of my macs for a long time now and never had this issue before. The more I start to build the project the worse it gets. I guess…

I haven’t used expressions in over a year so I am a bit rusty. Is there a way to link multiple slider counters to multiple different numerical values on one text layer? I’m trying to link these 4 numbers to slider counters

I am trying to translate cubic-bezier easing curve values to After Effects values. Anyone here experienced with CSS animations? I think I sort of have an understanding so far
