after effect GUI problem

[Brian Charles]

This looks like a problem with your video card driver, not After Effects.

Update your driver and make sure you are running the current release for the version of After Effects you have.

Brian is right- it is most likely a Graphics card issue. If you have OpenGl on for previews turn it off.

I’m sorry for being a noob…but how do you turn off Open GL

[Brian Charles]

Its in the Preferences under Previews.

[Victor Nguyen]

yeah it is off…but how come my problem still remain?

[Todd Kopriva]

As Brian said, this looks like a problem with your graphics card. Update your graphics card driver.

This glitch is showing in the interface, not the comp viewer, so I doubt the OpenGL switch will help.

If the problem is still persisting after you update your graphics card driver, try disabling UI acceleration:

After Effects > Preferences > Display > Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels

thanks for all the help…I’m deciding just to go buy a new video card…the one I have right now don’t even support open Gl. What does open GL do? and do you have any tips for which video card to buy?

[Victor Nguyen]

I need a better card for Maya and also for premier pro. Because previewing in premier is very laggy for me right now. I dont need to get it for CS5 because I like to have my 3rd party plug in. Also I don’t have a 64 bit computer for premier pro

[Victor Nguyen]

can you explain what RAID is? I’m probably going to have to get a new computer . Ugh your quote is right, keeping up with technology is costing so much.
