    I’m working in 6.5.1. I just opened it up, applied a levels filter to a solid and instead of the input and output whites being NORMAL (like 0 and 255) they’re both at 32768.0. What’s up with that?! Has anyone encoutered a similar problem?

    I’ve had wierd issues with my RGB inputs (in OSX 10.3.9). What I had to do was toss my preferences file (User>Library>Prefereces>Adobe After Effects 6.5 Prefs). After Effects must be closed when you do this otherwise it will rewrite the existing file when it closes. When you reopen everything will be set back to factory default so any preferences you want will have to be reset. What you could do as insurance is just move and rename the Prefs file as a backup.

    Hope this helps

    Check the pull out menu on your info palette. Sounds like you have it set to display decimal instead of percent. It affects the levels display too.

    Incidentally, maximum values of 32768 are normal behavior for a 16-bit project (Pro version only). You can change your color depth under Project Settings.
