  Accidentally pressed something now only getting a white screen and can’t select anything

  Hi there – went to press CMD+S to save my project and my finger slipped. Now all I’m getting is a white screen where my composition used to be.

  All of the layers are still there, and the keyframes I’ve already entered – but I can’t SEE anything and I can’t SELECT anything in the preview window – only a white screen.

  I’m sure that this is something fairly obvious, but I can’t for the life of me work it out (I’m also not very experienced with Ae).

  Apologies for posting here, but can’t find anything online…

  Cheers,
  Denis.

  I figured it out.

  Somehow toggled the ‘Collapse Transformation / Continuously Rasterise’ option for all of my layers.

  – worth trying a couple of things —-

  Firstly before you start save the project anyway then try…

  1 ) Pressing control and z together a few times ( ie back one / back one / back one / etc etc

  2 ) Reset to standard layout – which is a tab at the top right of the picture panel
