  • AE screen went black, won’t display zoom in and out

    Posted by Shaun Knapp on January 21, 2012 at 1:48 pm

    Here is one of the challenges of being spread too thin over tons of applications and specialties, you just come up against a brick wall sometimes and can’t make sense of what has happened.

    I was following a tutorial, and created a new camera, and as soon as I did so, my comp went dark. Even if I switch to other views, nothing changes, even after deleting the camera.

    Sort of a strange post to make, and probably frustrating to read without better detail, but of there is something that seems obvious to anyone that I might have done, I’d love to hear from you.

    Any chance of some screenshots and/or the project file?
    Do you have OpenGL turned on for previews? Try turning it off.
    Also, what version of AE? What OS?
