Adobe After Effects 2025

Adobe After Effects Overview

Adobe After Effects is a popular program for editing video and dynamic images, creating compositions, various effects and animation. It is most often used for processing video materials (post-production), creating music videos, commercials, animation, titles, and many other elements that require digital video effects.

Adobe After Effects offers great control, a wide range of creative tools, and integration with other video applications. Thanks to an extensive library of plug-ins developed by third-party companies, Adobe After Effects is also used in printing and graphic design for editing static graphic images (photos, images created on a computer, etc.).

Adobe After Effects Features

– Next-generation rotoscopy brush
The new AI model allows you to extract objects from footage faster and more accurately and requires fewer adjustments. Keep your compositions looking flawless, even when tracking overlapping objects or working with difficult-to-camouflage materials such as hair and transparent areas.

– OpenColorIO workflow improvements
Additional OpenColorIO effects in the Effects and Styles panel add flexibility to the standard color exchange workflow.

– Support for text scripting
New scripting engines for working with text and fonts save time and effort when working with complex text animation workflows.

FAQ

Question: I can’t click the Continue button because the contents of the window don’t fit in the window itself and the button is out of sight. What to do?
Answer: This rarely happens on crookedly configured operating systems. There is a TAB key on your keyboard. Click it to the desired menu item.

Question: The installation was not completed due to an unknown error. What to do?
Answer: Check out the explanation of error codes . I also recommend studying the installation log. It is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Install.log. Perhaps here you will get more detailed information about the problem and how to fix it.

Question: I have a problem at the initial stage of installation, not described above. Can you give me some advice?
Answer: Try replacing the Set-up.exe file used in the distribution with the one downloaded from here .

Question: What’s wrong with disabling spy modules?
Answer: The spyware modules Log Transport Application (LogTransport2.exe), CRLog Transport Application (CRLogTransport.exe) and Adobe Crash Reporter Service (AdobeCrashReport.exe) are disabled. The files that initialize them have been renamed to LogTransport2.exe.bak, CRLogTransport.exe.bak and AdobeCrashReport.exe.bak, respectively. If you suddenly want to restore their functionality, simply remove the .bak extension from them. Anticipating the question of some users why AdobeIPCBroker.exe is not blocked, I want to say that without it some online services will not work.

Question: What about medications for this version of the program?
Answer: Using the uncia hacker’s method, several files were patched, which I then built into the installer. You don’t need to do anything for treatment! Just in case, the original files are saved with the extension *.bak. To restore them, remove the .bak extension from these files and replace the existing patched files with them.

Question: When I started the program, I started getting a pop-up notification that the trial period was about to end. What to do?
Answer: If you use the standard Windows Firewall (Defender) as a firewall, then create a rule for outgoing connections in it and block network access for the AfterFX.exe file. If you are using a third-party firewall, then blocking must be done in it.

Question: When I run the program, it closes with error 0xc0000142! What’s wrong?
Answer:Starting with version 24.1, this program requires your processor to support Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) instructions. If the processor does not support this technology, then the program will not start, producing the same error. I recommend “rolling back” to a version of the program younger than 24.1.

Question: When opening the program, the error “Adobe Creative Cloud, needed to resolve the problem, is missing or damaged…” appears. What to do?
Answer: You have “tails” left in your system from previous installations of Adobe Creative Cloud components. They need to be removed. To do this, use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool . For the component to remove, select first All, and then Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop. After this, reinstall the failed program. Such cleaning and reinstallation will not harm previously installed programs.

Question: Can you tell me more about the ability to use Maxon Cinema 4D as a standalone application?
Answer: Maxon Cinema 4D is forced to be installed as part of Adobe After Effects 2024. The trial version is installed by default. But I treated it for you. To use it you only need to make a couple of extra clicks. After starting the program, the License Manager window will appear in front of you with an error message. Ignoring the error, in the upper right corner of the window we find the License Type drop-down menu, select RLM and click OK at the bottom of the window. That’s it, you can use it! Let me clarify right away that this is a version without RedShift. Also, you should know that the developers removed the Russian interface from the version of the 2024 line. So don’t ask me for the lack of all this.

Question: What needs to be done to make it possible to work with libraries and other online services?
Answer: To do this, you need to connect to the Adobe server with your ID by selecting “Help->Sign In” from the program menu and going through authorization. I strongly recommend closing the window in which you will be asked to run the trial version with a cross! In this case, in the future, you will not encounter the problem of the appearance of an annoying message about the end of the trial period! After restarting the program, online services will become available.
