    As in the subject while dragging image, video it makes itself invisible but I can see box around the object. I think I’ve entered some key shortcut and made this happen… What’s key combination or how to revert it back to normal?

    It’s not a bug. The video you linked shows EXACTLY what Cassius’ link describes.

    That’s not it. Normally when I drag something it moves with the mouse but now it disappears when i grab the layer and appears when I drop it.

    The behavior you’re describing is exactly what Cassius’ link is talking about. Show us a screenshot of your entire interface.

    Well, that’s weird.
    What are your fast preview settings?

    Also, what is your exact version number of AE and what are your computer specs?

    is it just for that layer or for every layer? Does it happen with new projects?
