Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Adjustment Layer not working properly

    I’ve oddly had this happen to me too when I reuse adjustment layers. I’m not sure what’s going on, but it just seems to create a white solid rather than applying the effect. I’m assuming its just a bug. I’ve gotten around it by creating a new adjustment layer each time. I’m guessing you’re using a feathered mask on the layer and thats why it looks like it has a gradient – so just copy and paste that mask to the new adjustment layer.

    A screenshot of your entire UI would be more helpful than just the comp viewer.

    Thank you for the answer mate 🙂

    That didn’t do anything at all besides putting everything black&white again. Or I didn’t quite understand what you wanted to say with that.

    Here is the Image UI you requested.

    Thanks for the answer

    I was just saying copy the mask of the adjustment layer causing that, then delete that adjustment layer, then create a new adjustment layer, paste the mask, then apply the effects you want to the new adjustment layer.

    My guess was that you just duplicated an adjustment layer that was already in your timeline, and lately AE has been turning my duplicated adjustment layers into white solids. I’m guessing that this is a bug recently introduced.
