  • Black lines in the preview window while moving timeline?

    Posted by Andrew Vance on December 20, 2011 at 11:20 pm

    Every time I move the timeline in Adobe After Effects CS5, those huge black lines begin to appear. It is quite annoying when I’m creating my projects. Also, it has nothing to do with Twixtor. It happens when I move the timeline on any video clip I have. How would I fix this?

    I’m running After Effects CS5 on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS on an Alienware M11x laptop so I know I have a good enough computer to run After Effects at an above average rate.

    Any suggestions?

    Try disabling OpenGL fast previews [link] (the lightning icon below the viewer) — try adaptive resolution instead.
