  AE cs6 preview, wireframed when moving something.

  Posted by Manuel Berja on June 14, 2013 at 8:41 pm

  Hi,

  So I reinstalled my operating system, and my after effects cs6 as well. long before i did this, I am very sure that my Ae_cs6 is working perfectly as it should, but now, every time i’m moving/rotating/zooming something, everything is displayed in wireframe. Say I dragged the text, i see the wireframe version of the text and the real ones won’t move to its place. and when i drop it, it will just snap to the final position. see attached picture.

  fast draft mode helps but I can’t work with the crappy-edge graphics. it is very annoying. I tried almost everything of the settings in preferences.

  any suggestion will be highly appreciated. thanks

  kind regards,
  -M

  Sounds like you may have disabled Live Update.

  Oh, so it matters? How do I turn it on? never seen it this live update before.
  but it’s always been off ever since I started using cs6(I think) I never want any of my programs to update because it looks annoying to me. unless it is really necessary.

  thanks.

  If you read the help link I included it explains how to turn it on.

  It happens to us all at one time or another.
