Strange circles in After Affects

Hi, so i have been using after effects for quite a while, and sometimes there are these circles that appear on the layer and I cant get rid of them unless I restart after effects. Does anybody know why this is happening?
Here is a screen shot, I was also using particular and this also occasionally happens with lens flares from video copilot. After I close after effects and start it up again it says it has crashed... Is this because i am doing something too hard to process?

javascript:; The first one is what it is supposed to look like, but the second picture represents what sometimes happens, that weird red shape appears with the layer during ram preview and sometimes when i switch its options. Then when I create any any new things such as an  adjustment layer the same symbol appears over it. This occasionally happens to me  when I use 3d party plugins (such as particular, optical flares from video copilot, or hit film plugins in after effects).

  • Adobe after affects vs apples motion

    Hi I am wondering I tried to install final cut studio 5 on my mac G4 and it tells me that motion wont install. After some research I found that my graphics card is not supported. i also found that adobe makes a program called after affects I was wondering if I could just us adobes after affects instead of the Motion and us it with final cut studio 5 see if it is compatible and if final cut works with after affect. basically since my video card does not except motion I was going to use after affects any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Your best bet would be to upgrade your computer so that the Final Cut Studio apps will run well. After Effects CS3 isn't going to run very well on your existing machine either.
    good luck,

  • Where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install them with Premier Pro or After Affect ?

    I recently purchased master collection 5 DVD version. On DVD box I have three serial numbers: Master collection, Ppro/AE CS4 32 Bit and Color Finesse. I used Master collection serial to activate my product. I am having 64 bit os, so I did not use Ppro/AE CS4 32 Bit serial.  My question is about Color Finesse  Serial. I searched about it and found it as an Plug-in for Premiere Pro or After Affect. Now where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install them with Premier Pro or After Affect?

    This serial is only required for the CS4 version. The CS5 version does not require an extra serial. Both versions are installed automatically with the main programs. Nothing more to do.

    Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1

  • Help! After Affects not listed in Application Manager

    Hi
    I have cloud creative suite and as per the licence I am putting it on two computers ensuring that only one is on at any one time. But now that I have downloaded application manager and I open it After Affects isn't listed. I use Windows 7 - 32 bit.
    Can any one help?

    Premiere Pro and After Effects are both 64 bit only.

    They will not install or run on 32 bit.

  • I need Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, and After Affects.  Which plan would be cheapest?

    I am a graphic designer that is very familiar with Photoshop and I'm getting into Illustrator.  I am beginning to create videos so I need After Affects to create graphics and Premier to edit video.
    On second thought.  I need Photoshop and Illustrator.  But I want to be able to create graphics like intros, banners, text etc. in videos.
    Do I need both Premier and After Affects, or not?
    Which would be the best plan to get? I am not sure which plan to buy and am very confused.  Thanks.

    Photography plan is $9.99 for Photoshop and Lightroom... and then $19.99 each for individual programs... the entire plan looks to be a better deal for you

  • IBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, won't open after Mavericks install/update

    Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

  • Loading .gif into after affects?

    Why can't i load a .GIF file into after affects to use in a composition?
    And what would solve this (to get some similiar effect)?

    You can. You may have to check file interpretation and loop to footage to use it. Many animated gifs are only 2 frames so they won't play and you won't be able to extend the length unless you loop the footage.
    Here's a list of all supported file types in CS5.
